Re: Twist And Shout Destiel Pdf 11

Twist and Shout has become one of the most famous works of fanfiction in the Destiel fandom, with tons of fanart, fanvideos, and comments expressing emotional distress caused by this fanfiction spanning sites from Tumblr to Youtube, and even to Goodreads.[5] It has created its own underground following, and most people in the Destiel fandom recognize its name even if they themselves have not read it. One popular tag on Tumblr used by fans to encapsulate the heartbreak of reading the fic is #twist and rip my heart out.
Numerous gifsets and graphics have been posted by fans on tumblr. in addition, a tumblr named "twist and shout feels" was created and can be viewed here., Archived version Selected samples from tumblr are below.
This story is made from the usual destiel template complete with bad editing, and, like a typical destiel story, the focal point is Castiel, Misha's character. To put it in a nutshell, local bad boy high school drop out Dean, goes to Ellen's café or local teen haunt [cant remember] where the high schoolers are celebrating the last day of school. Cas is a big academic achiever. So high school fic. That is the usual destiel template. There is a reason why there are so many high school verses in destiel fanfiction. There writers are kids and high school is all they know. There is no real point for Cas being a big achiever. He makes stupid decisions further on in the story. They probably just wanted him to be important.
Dean beelines to Cas [instead of the other way around, because Cas is apparently nerdishly irresistible] and they start talking. Cas realizes that Dean is not a bad boy. He had to sacrifice school so Sam could go. Dad is a drunk or abusive or some such thing and we have another regular feature from the destiel template: Bad John/abusive John/homophobic John - take your pick. They can't make John good in their stories or meta, because their headcanons will fall apart.
While Dean and Cas hit it off, war breaks out. The two people who wrote this story should be ashamed of themselves. Setting your masturbatory vehicle against the backdrop of the Vietnam war is in poor taste. The war is not fictitious. It is one of the bloodiest, more horrible battles in America's military history. The USA didn't just lose the war. They lose 58, 220 soldiers. Those who returned were physically or psychologically damaged. A further 9000 committed suicide. Couldn't they make up a war, instead of leeching from history? The day will come when 9/11 will become a backdrop with a slash fic. The lack of good taste is in overdrive. Why not just leave out war, and PTSD because these are not tropes. But expecting good taste from destiel shippers is kind of difficult. They can barely recognize canon.
I don't know why the most intelligent boy at school was stupid enough to take drugs. He didn't go to war. He was not suffering from PTSD. He just got dumped by his boyfriend. And he waited two whole years before starting his drug taking adventure. Its makes no sense. But lets just throw it in there so it can facilitate Cas getting AIDS because of a needle. Cancer is not dramatic enough, anyway. Also, it will allow us to keep a shitload of the focus on Cas, because that is the whole point of reading a destiel story, right? Why focus on Jensen when you can focus on Misha? SMH. Drugs are such a good trope to use too. Its not like it kills anyone. Even Cas, in this story, doesn't die from drug addiction. He died from something else. Stupidity.
Okay, first off. Muse slaps. This is nothing compared to supermassive black hole or starlight, but it has some religious aesthetics in the song that were enough for me to slap it on the destiel playlist over the more iconic bangers. I think I probably stole this off some other 8Tracks fanmix.
I'm 900% sure every Destiel shipper has read the infamous fanfiction "Twist and shout" I mean it's only the most popular fanfiction of the entire fandom, even the cast members have heard of the story, most of them have read and liked it. What I propose is that we allow this to become a film and with the help of Eric Kripke, being the creators of the characters him allowing the author, Gabriel, to use the actual characters' name so it's possible to make the best fanfiction of the fandom come to life. I also propose convincing actors such as Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Adrianne Palicki, etc. We just need them okay, it'll make money for the actors and get a lot of fame if the fanfiction based on the characters is starred by the actors who portray the characters. As a book reader I know a lot of other book readers get emotionally involved with their characters, it's a bond nobody else can explain and I know other book readers will understand me, this story not only created an emotional connection with me and them but millions upon millions of girls boys teens and adults feel that same emotional connection with the story and it's characters and let's be real; If 50 shades of grey can become a movie so can Twist and shout.
