SPN TIMELINE RANT

Okay. So, Tumblr being a little c*ntbag deleted my post literally in the middle of me typing, so here we go again (woo-fucking-hoo). No, this is not the 1st time it’s happened, and it is taking everything in my power not to punch the computer screen.

A lot of timelines I see on various blogs, websites, and wikis for SPN tend to mess up the dates of the series.  While there are 2 year-long time skips, the showrunners had decided to go by “Soap Opera Time” and nobody seems to properly account for that.  This can be quit frustrating when, if you’re anything like myself, you’re trying to figure out dates for fics and things.

SO, my annoyed, neurotic self decided to post a more accurate version of the timeline that better coincides with the episodes themselves as well as real-world events mentioned in the series.  I’m also taking into account some script details and things the cast and crew have said during interviews and conventions.

S1 - October 31, 2005-July 2006

S2 - July 2006-May 2007

S3 - May 2007-Approx. May 2, 2008

S4 - September 18, 2008-May 2009

S5 - May 2009-May/June 2010

-- 1 Year Time Skip (Dean w/ Lisa & Ben; Sam hunting with the Campbells)--

S6 - Presumably May/June 2011-June 4, 2012

S7 - Approx. June 5, 2012-May 15, 2013

--1 Year Time Skip (Dean & Cas in Purgatory; Sam w/ Amelia)--

S8 - September 2014-May 19, 2015

S9 - May 20, 2015-June 16, 2016

S10 - Late July/Early August 2016-Late May/Early June 2017

S11 - Late May/Early June 2017-Presumably April 2018

S12 - Presumably April 2018-May 18, 2019

S13 - May 18, 2019-September 2020

S14 - September 2020-May/June 2021

S15 - May/June 2021-June 2022

Series Finale (15x20) - Either December 2022 or 2027 (Dean’s Death); Approximately 40-50yrs later (Sam’s Death)

**NOTE: The reason I have 2 hugely different dates for Dean’s death is because Jared previously stated in an interview that Dean died 5yrs after defeating Chuck. However, the scripts for the final episode have indicated that Dean died only 6 months after they defeated Chuck.  As much as I would love it if Dean had the 5yrs of peace and happiness, realistically I know that the 6 months is probably more accurate. Regardless, I included both.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."

The new record speech is on the right side of history.

Strom Thurmond was also allowed bathroom breaks. Cory Booker was not, and he spoke for over 25 hours, overnight. Between the Associated Press's livestream and his own YouTube channel's livestream, I saw over 260,000 people watching the stream live, and I see 4.4 million views. I hear he got over 350 MILLION likes over on TikTok, but I'm not on there to personally verify. I'm so glad to see somebody doing something actually patriotic and not corrupt and getting wider news coverage for it!

Around ten years ago, I wrote a short story for a Dr Who spinoff collection, and it means I get to see the Dr Who wiki communicating the sort of thing I write.

Michael Bay's version of Dan Gadarn Goncrit sounds appalling
