Pictures,Posts and Selfies...Be Kind

  So filming is in full swing and so is Con Season. I love cons. I'm planning on three this year. So I'm addicted clearly. I love this show so much. I have really been thinking a lot about all the pictures we are seeing from the set though. When did it become a THING to stand around for 7 hours and try to get selfless with the guys? I guess there are a few reasons I feel odd about it. One is again it's this sense of fandom competition. There was a group of people putting out selfies for days. Ok. Good. You had an opportunity. You shared it. But how? I think if you're going to complain about retweets,pins,crops, don't post. It's going to happen. For the record, the whole credit for pictures? I promise if I ever have pictures of the boys and I post them please use them with my joy and happiness. I am willing to share if that happens. To put pictures out and make snide comments about it...I don't know. Someone is bound to say you're jealous. Perhaps. Not insanely so.I would love a picture I didn't pay for. There in is another problem MOST of us  do have to pay for our pictures.So if you're lucky enough to have a random shot, please treat others gently. Remember also not everyone out there is going to be able .to go to a con either so telling everyone ten times you have 20 photo ops isn't gentle either. I try to be and really feel so grateful for my photo ops and con experiences. I guess too I worry about safety on set too. Again MOST people are just trying to see their favorite actors. But there's always the what if lurking back there. Our boys are so sweet and trusting which is wonderful. I am probably over cautious but it bothers me from time to time. Again, I'm really happy when people are happy. Lately I've felt like there is so much competition to be the best fan or a better one. You're no less a fan and no less valued by Jensen and Jared if you go to a con general admission or Gold. Or if you don't. Sometimes I have felt that you aren't Gold thing at cons and it kinda sucks. I have never had anything but a great con experience but if we're not all really thinking what we tweet and post there are fans who will get hurt. Not because you , me or they mean to. This is a complicated deep meaning thing we're all in. Fangirling goes way beyond looking at some cute guys where Supernatural is concerned. Because of the way we attach ourselves to the content, characters and actors it can get personal really quick. I guess I'm suggesting what? Fandom etiquette? Be kind and thoughtful when posting. It's a family and you don't want to hurt your family.Share. Post and squee. But do in a nice way. There are always people wanting to be where you are. I love seeing pictures and hearing stories. Just be kind. 💓
