Breaking this off into a new thread because it’s kind of a different topic-
Dumbed down how?
This is open to anybody who has a theory because I’ve seen it a bunch of times but I don’t really get it.
I guess the biggest argument is that they didn’t find their way back alone? Which dis easily refuted because they’ve been catapulted into the Bad Place so hard that they lost consciousness… it makes sense that they didn’t turn up right next to the nifty little portal and had to find their way back… plus they got overwhelmed by Dark Kaia but we don’t know her powers yet so arguing against this also doesn’t really make sense?
The issue is /some/ people think anyone else being half decent at hunting diminishes the accomplishments of their precious Sam and Dean. So basically noone can do anything well or it’s an INSULT! I mean it’s not like the original badass hunter was John, who we saw learned it all after Mary died and all the others like Bobby, Rufus etc, that the boys were kinda crappy on their first few hunts and would have been totally lost without the journal, hence the idea in the show that a good moral ethic, learning and growth is the key part to hunting and they’ve just had a ton of experience now on top of having the journal and now a whole secret library of lore to help. Claire’s been learning to hunt for a few years, they even established she’s been hunting alone last year to prove this point.
It’s not like they’re writing Claire as single handedly stopping the pre ordained apocalypse either to diminish Sam and Dean’s accomplishments, they just wrote her as using her experience and a gun to take out a couple of werewolves and yeah, still getting beat up in the mean time, just as Sam and Dean have many times.
But oh no it’s still an insult. PUH lease.
The bottom line is that they are grasping at straws trying to find a reason to rationalize hating on WS because they were counting on Claire to “take out the thing that killed her father,” and they’ve had a hate on for her since Kathryn posted that “My Two Dads” Tweet.
ellen degeneres is turning 60 years old this week and i’m not sure how to process that information like…. i never knew how old she was and i never really thought about that fact that she has an age…. i feel like she just exists on this planet as an ageless entity
not to discriminate, because all dogs are valid, but pitbulls have the absolute best smiles out of any dog breed ever my heart literally explodes every time
Anyway so I’m calling Rep. Farenthold later to accept on Sen. Collin’s behalf and I’m choosing Fists. Can take place in Iowa because if two parties agree to mutual combat, under state law it is totally legal here.
And if he accepts yes I will stream that shit live don’t be silly.
And after I beat his ass once for Collins, I will duel him again on Murkowski’s behalf.
Square up, bitch.
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH GOD CSPAN BOUT TO BE LIT
Submitted
SO I CALLED HIS DC OFFICE AND SAID BASICALLY THE SAME THING I SENT VIA EMAIL.
After about 20 seconds of dead silence, the staffer let out kinda a little laugh and said “Well ma’m, I’ll be happy to pass on your…”
“I’m not joking.”
“Ma’m?”
“You think I’m joking. I am dead serious. You want my address? Or I’ll meet him at the airport. I am absolutely serious about this. Oh, and as the challenged party, I get to pick weapons. I choose fists.”
Another 20 seconds of somehow even deeper silence.
“I…I’ll pass your challenge on to the congressman.”
“No. He issued the challenge. I’m accepting. Unless he’s backing out like the spineless coward he is.”
More silence. “I…I’ll let Congressman Farenthold know, ma’m.”
“You do that.”
ANYWAY SO HOW DID YOU ALL SPEND YOUR LUNCH BREAK TODAY.
I LOVE THIS DO IT B

FOLLOW UP; He has proved himself a faithless coward and refused to meet me in honest physical combat, so I cursed him. Specifically, called on his past misdeeds to be visited upon him and justice he’s evaded to find him.
