#AlwaysKeepFighting

I could lie and tell you all the fabulously wonderful things I filled my Sunday with, however, let's be honest here.  Today was essentially a day full of sitting and live-streaming all the fabulously wonderful thing others people were doing at Comic Con.  It may not be crazy exciting, but you need one of those Sundays every once in a while and I enjoyed mine greatly.

So, all of that is to say, there's really not much to share about today that can't already be found on YouTube or any other entertainment site.  However, I will tell you the best thing I saw today, because I'm still shocked by the sheer awesomeness of some people, mainly Supernatural fans.  

I know I say it a lot, but there's just something about this fandom.  I'm not sure if it's the type of people that are drawn to the show or that the openness of the other fans just creates kindness or maybe it's the cast that may be the kindest and most talented cast to ever walk the planet. But the ability of these people to band together and help when they're needed is fascinating and something I've never quite seen before.  It's pretty awe-inspiring.

 And at Comic Con, it was no different.  

A group of fans, I'm not sure who to credit this to (I so wish I did!), got together and created these:
Then handed them out to the audience.  At the appointed time, everyone lit their candle surprising the cast who had no idea what was going on.  With most everyone knowing the story behind this awesome movement, I'm sure the entire audience was inspired by the gesture.  You can read about the cast reactions here.  Suffice it to say they were pretty impressed and touched by such an outpouring of love.

Wouldn't the world be a little nicer if we were all just a bit geeky like these awesome people sharing the love with some candles and a heartfelt message?
