The end of an era

klutzygirlIt was announced by J2 and Misha that Supernatural is ending next year, after 15 seasons/327 episodes and the news hit me hard - harder than I expected it to. I've been preparing myself for the end for a while now because it's been on so long but I was still completely unprepared for yesterday's news. The news drove me to tears (shaking too!) and felt stupid about it for a while until I saw others were reacting exactly the same way. I've been watching from the very beginning and this has been my life for fourteen (fifteen when it ends!) years - I'm allowed to be upset about it and mourn the loss of one of my favorite shows.
The show was my first real fandom, too. I read fic for other fandoms in the early, dark days of the Internet (LOL) but this time, I actually got involved and met a lot of my friends through the show. I haven't talked to some of them in years but I still think about and miss them.
As much as it hurts to think about the end of the show, I'm glad the boys will get to spend a lot more time with their families. Excited to see what they do next, although they'll likely want to take a break for a while. Jared does co-own a bar (or two?) while Jensen and Danneel have the brewery + that bed and breakfast they just bought in Austin so that'll likely keep them busy. And Jensen better get the Impala - he's been talking about it for years!
And come at me, upcoming cancellations - nothing you throw at me after this will ever hurt as much as SPN does.
