What Does The SPN Family Mean To Me?

I saw a few of these around on YouTube and some smaller similar ones on Twitter, so I thought I would do one as well. When I first started watching the show, I was very quiet about it and did not know about the SPN Family. I used to always keep my love for fandoms to myself, I was afraid to show my passion for it because I thought I would be looked at as silly or weird for loving a tv show so much. But then when I started to get more into show and learn more things about it, I found the SPN Family…I found my family; and I wasn’t afraid to hide it anymore. I started wearing lots of SPN shirts and talking with people online and showing off my love for it. I was proud to be a fan of this show, to be a part of this family no matter what people thought of me. I have been in a couple of fandoms before, and I can say with complete confidence that this fandom, this family, is like no other fandom in the world.

There is such a strong and profound connection between the cast/crew and the fans. Some people think that we’re crazy for thinking that the cast cares about us and that it’s just a lie that they don’t really care. Well I don’t believe that, I say that they do actually care about us and that this truly is a family and I’m sure many people in this family will agree with me on that. Which is really all that matters in the end. That the people who you call family and who know the truth about this family say that it is truly one. Having the SPN Family in my life means that I have people who understand me and accepts me when no one else does. It means that I have friends all over the world because this family spreads over miles and miles and has no borders separating it (little thing from one of Felecia Day’s t-shirt campaigns). It means that even after the show ends, which will be a very sad day, I and everyone else will still have this family. We will have people that we can go to and talk to about it because they feel the same way or even if we just need someone to talk to about stuff that isn’t related to Supernatural, those people are there and they will listen and support me. We are all sad about it and want it to go on but we also respect and understand their decision and know that what this show has built and created is not going away any time soon. It’s never going to go away, and for me that is a really reassuring to know.

Having the SPN Family in my life, it means a great deal to me, it means so much to me to have this family. I am so grateful that I found this family and that I found this show. Because without it, I honestly don’t know where I would be or who I would be without every, single, person that is in this family. Whether they have been here since the beginning or just joined recently, we’re all family and no one can take that away.
