so sandy mccoy, jared's girlfriend, is going to be on the show.¹

i'm told that makes a lot of people very happy. as it ought! i'm told that it makes even more people completely indifferent. as it ought for them, too.

and then, i'm told it makes some people very upset because the show is, apparently, JARED AND JENSEN'S. and not sandy's. apparently, her costume is slutty. apparently, having the girlfriend on set makes it harder to keep her in a seperate mental block from the holy sanctum of the sacred jsquared. apparently, the fact that she has sex makes her unclean or incapable of doing her job as an actress.

because fandom has been using and abusing this term like nobody's business lately, let me PSA for the masses, okay?

tin·hat
Pronunciation: 'tin 'hat
Function: noun
Etymology: Sci-fi, from hat made of aluminum foil so as to keep the alien space rays from getting into your head.
1: Batshit insane.
2: Very gullible; given to believe any sort of ridiculous justification or story which might "prove" that a particular pairing either is happening or might happen.

The term was originally came into the fandom lexicon to define a particular sort of LotRiPS fan who was convinced that, because they allegedly had a series of secret signals such as tying shoes at particular times or wearing particular colors to events, Elijah Wood and Dominic Monahan were clearly dating. The secret signals were designed to communicate availability, positional preference, etc. I would love to tell you I was kidding with regard to this matter but I am not; people actually believed this.

seriously, girls. let's try to be slighly less catty bitches, okay? let's have a nice threesome and call it a night.

ETA: just for the record, there are oodles of people out there who are over the moon happy about this. they're probably writing fic already. go them! i belong to what is surely the largest camp: people who don't much care one way or the other. and if the objection here were that people were arguing sandy was a crappy actress, well that i couldn't find fault with. i might agree or disagree with that opinion, but at least it's based on merit and not tits.


1. and just so you know, i got spoiled for this purely by accident and if any of you further spoil me there will be hell to pay. <3!!

while not made for the same specific reasons, I refer you to my previous remarks on the subject, particularly the concluding sentence.

women can be such HORRIBLE BITCHES to each other, man, and the sick part is that they think it's okay.

IT'S NOT OKAY.

you know, if just one of these chicks would own up to the fact that it's not that she's feeling threatened on behalf of the holy gay which washes away the sins of the straight, but that she's feeling threatened because having reality so close to the fantasy fucks up her special private right-hand time, i'd sleep better tonight.¹ bottom line: it's easier to swallow the fact that HE'S NEVER GOING TO FUCK YOU² if you play that he's gay.



¹who am i kidding, i'm gonna sleep fine. i take a lot of pills.
