Suupaaah! ...I guess.
No this is not a reference to One Piece and Franky. This is about honest to God brilliant tv series Supernatural. Did you guess it? After all I haven’t said anything about liking to show before.
No wonder. I only this week decided to start watching. I guess after seeing so much talking about the fandom the last... (approx.) three years my interest was piquet. Of course I had other sources of inspiration. For example multi-fandom crossover Armageddon.
Then there is TheHillywoodShow’s Supernatural parody that I’ve watched a couple of times already. Which is brilliant by the way.
And let’s not forget Superwho Lock gushing all over the social media.
So basically by the time I finally began watching I pretty much knew the basics and was all set, right?
Wrong. Sorry to say but... I can’t handle it. I’ve never managed any horror stuff. No ghost rides, no horror movies... heck, I used to have traumas from Phantom of the Opera.
So yeah... I used two days to watch the first season. Half of the time I had to which to another tab. It was so freaking scary. I can handle Harry Potter and the dementors. I can handle Criminal Minds, NCIS, CSI(LV, Miami, NY), Sherlock and their murderers and kidnappers. I can handle Doctor Who and aliens of different sort. But I absolutely can’t handle Supernatural.
It’s really brilliant show but when I finished for the first day I didn’t even dare to go to bathroom before going to sleep. I’ve had a similar reaction only a few times before. One time was when I was 11-12 years old. I’d discovered Detective Conan manga. There were murders. A guy got impaled on a metal fence, another made a suicide by jumping on a knife(literally), the protagonist found a human skull buried on the ground... heck, the opening case had the victim beheaded. It was so bad that if I happened to wake in the middle of the night I didn’t dare to go to sleep again. I had to put on the lights or even go to sleep next to my parents. I had to start thinking about recipes and Disney songs in order to calm down. My mind was on an overdrive and I kept thinking that what if some bad guy comes to my room and kills me. I knew it wasn’t true but I had and overactive imagination back then. But I got over it. I waited a couple of years before picking up the series again and now it’s my favourite.
But Supernatural... I really want to watch it. I’m satisfying my curiousity. I try thinking that nothing in that show can hurt me. That the things aren’t real. But when you are alone at your apartment in the middle of campus(I have no roomies yet)... My imagination start acting up. I go to sleep and hope to have no nightmares.
Well. next day I finished the season. I still haven’ started the next one despite the fact it has been a couple of days. I’ve read spn wikia now to satisfy my curiousity and of course fanfiction. Right now Harry Potter/Supernatural crossovers because basically when you have one fandom you know well and other one you know the gist of there is bound to be explanations and I’m good at picking up things.
Yeah... I guess that’s what sort of fan I’ll be with this fandom. Looking at fanmade stuff and reading wikia... *sigh*
