Valentines Shipping Poll: Round 2!
The top 10 fandoms of the last shipping poll have been voted in. We’ve taken the top three ships of each fandom that were nominated in the comments and put them in the poll. Not every fandom had three nominations or clear winners, so we’re sorry if your fandom only has 1-2 ships represented. If there are enough comments to include a ship that wasn’t voted in last round, we’ll be happy to add it!
Ship hate in the comments will be immediately deleted. Repeated harassment will result in a ban. This poll is about love! If you can’t express love about your own ship and can only express hate towards other ships, this poll is not for you.
**ANNOUNCEMENT**
This poll has closed. View the results >>HERE<<.

why is cecil/carlos a ship??? their relationship is canon – they already are boyfriends!!
“Ship” doesn’t mean “not canon.” Amy/Rory and Kurt/Blaine are also canon. Ship is short for “relationSHIP.” There is no caveat that it has to be uncanon to count.
-Admin Angel
I love this site and your no hate policy. 🙂 Looking forward to a fun poll here and hoping my beloved Dean/Cas wins it all…though there are soooooooooo many other pairs that I adore on here, including Sterek and Jorian.
That was my exact thoughts! and you ship my three top otps!!! ahhh!
Where is the option for Doctor/River in Doctor Who? 🙁
It didn’t get voted in last round. I’m sorry. There were a lot of Doctor Who ships and only 3 were allowed to advance to the next round. It wasn’t one of the three unfortunately. My Doctor Who ship didn’t make it either and I’m the admin here 🙁
-Admin Angel
Destiel is the best love story that I’ve ever read, so my vote is for them. I was part and I voted for them in every single poll last year, and of course this year I will do the same! ♥
DESTIEL ♥♥♥
Destiel got like 100 votes in a minute! Woohoo, my fandom’s awesome! (a bit weird though considering it’s like 5AM in the US, but our fandom’s famous for this)
We are passionate like that =P
destiel went from about 200 votes to over a thousand in less than 30 minutes?? somethings not right here..
The Almost Human ship had the same results. The two are currently jockeying for first. If you’re curious, most of the traffic right now is coming from Russia. Links are mostly coming from Tumblr. The amount of hits this website is getting is roughly matching the amount of votes. They are indeed unique visitors. Polldaddy also has a mechanism in place to prevent bots. Rest assured, right now this is legit. I’m keeping an eye on it.
-Admin Angel
Thanks for the info! Ipromoted it on my tumblr too, and saw many of people I follow do the same. 🙂
Thank you.
No problem. Also a large portion of traffic is coming from a social media website called “VK” which is a Russia based social media site. I believe it’s the middle of the day and they tend to contribute heavy traffic to our polls. I’m used to seeing link backs from them. We’ve got about 500 hits from that social media site alone, over 1,000 from Tumblr. All of this is in less than 3 hours. I’ll be watching. 🙂
-Admin Angel
Thanks for the clear up, mod! Just out of curiousity, can you track the traffic of individual votes too (i.e. How many votes are unique), or just the clickthrough/referrals to this page?
My comment to this post and all subsequent posts have been deleted not because they violated our policies, but because I don’t want to reveal the behind the scenes workings and what measures I have in place to prevent bots to the general public. If you’d like to discuss the inner workings of this poll please email me at TheGeekiary@Gmail.com
It makes sense. Usually #ProfoundBond trends on twitter more in the US and (Moscow) Russia.
The poll has been promoted on Tumblr, by Destiel shippers like me. In my case, it was promoted to almost 8,000 accounts all around the world. All of them very eager to vote and make Destiel win. There’s no reason to start thinking there’s a bot.
Yeah, and now it’s kind of gone around with us Klainers ^^;;
And if Klainers know there’s a way to vote for Klaine then stuff’s gonna get real!
Ha, oh my. I remember the last time you two were in the top two spots for a poll and the term “Klainestiel” was formed. Have fun you guys.
With the fact that this website seems honest and it’s not fair to hate on others then I’m thinking it will be fun no matter who wins ^o^ It’s all about good fandom support (and I know that Supernatural is really popular I just….don’t like supernatural genre very much)
Thanks for the compliment on our website. 🙂 Yep, this is all in good fun. I remember by the end of the last Klaine/Destiel poll people were relatively friendly as far as shipping polls go. I hope that remains true here. Hate will be deleted. This poll is about love.
-Admin Angel
As usual with the SPN fandom, problems always start when the usual group of 5 or 6 brats come here and start insulting people because they don’t like Cas, and Destiel and anything apart from their own tastes.
As far as they are away, the environment will be awesome. I remember with Klaine, last year, we broke a website hahaha, and the difference in the end was of less than 100 votes I think. It was a good competition 😛
Oh definitely know what you mean. There is so much lol Blaine/lol Klaine stuff that it just brings it all down.
But honestly, I think the Glee fandom has gotten smaller whilst (feel free to correct me since I don’t watch SPN) the Supernatural fanbase has grown.
Thankfully we have a no tolerance policy on hate. Hate of any kind will be deleted. So far I’ve only had to delete one hateful comment. I hope the trend of relative civility continues.
-Admin Angel
I’m a Klainer so yeah I told my other Klainer friends so, stuff is about to get real! <3
it’s because someone made a post on tumblr saying to vote, and it spread around pretty fast
Being down by 200 only to jump that much within 2 minutes is indeed an oddity.
How is that odd lol I voted like 30 times within the last minute. Vote, refresh, scroll and vote again! And you don’t even need 10 people to make 100 votes a minute, especially if you have a decent comp (I have 100mbps and that is only mediocre)
And gud damn it I was supposed to be writing a Destiel AU but yet I’m here voting aaahhh!!!!
What’s the AU about? :))
Haha hi Anja
This is the AU I’m trying to continue: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1167215
A Destiel AU where Castiel is an angel trying to take away Ben’s nightmares but got mistaken as a kidnapper by Dean instead. It’s mostly narrative – which is a style I’m trying because it was supposed to be a ficlet on Tumblr and then it got waaaayy too long so I posted it on AO3 instead haha!
I’m actually a little sad that no Supernatural couples made it to the People Choice Awards voting (which was a bit…cloudy about the winning votes). That would have made it so fun and I know a lot of people who watch both Glee and Supernatural.
Who cares if it’s not canon, it’s implied canon from what I’ve heard.
Totally agree with you on this. 🙂
A lot of Destiel shippers really campaigned hard and I personally believe that we did have enough votes to have Dean & Cas in the Favorite TV Chemistry category for the People’s Choice Awards, but the PCAs took the heteronormative route and instead of including non-canon LGBT ships in their poll, they created new categories called Favorite TV Bromance and Favorite TV Gal Pals that included portions of some of the non-canon ships. Dean and Cas were paired with Sam for an option in the Bromance category, which was great to me as I do love all three of them (yay for Team Free Will and they did win the whole category too) but stunk that we were left out of the chemistry category like we were.
Glad to see Destiel at the top! 🙂
All the India-Russia fans are voting. No surprise since half the ship is anchored there!
(I really should be writing but….)
I can confirm that most of the traffic is coming from Russia right now. Is Vk.com like your Facebook?
-Admin Angel
Firstly – I’m not from Russia (or India-Russia, for that matter, since it’s not a real) Haha, why would you think that!
Secondly – vk.com is //like// facebook (as far as social networking goes, it’s definitely not Twitter as far as I’m concerned, lol) it’s also like a forum. Do you know there is actually an English version: http://vk.com/club200
Oh sorry! I just thought that since you had information about traffic you were from the source. My mistake. Thanks for the info. 🙂
-Admin Angel
I’m from Russia 🙂
VK started as a copy of FB,, just different skins and, well, in Russian. Two of them went separate ways from the starting point tho.
I have a question. Maybe I got it wrong last week but I thought from each show in the top 10 the 3 most popular ships would get in, if not suggested by us you would ask Google, but now I only see one Glee ship?
Klaine was the only one nominated and we really didn’t have a clue what other ships to include. Googling it didn’t seem fair so I just went with the only one any of the commenters suggested. Do you have any suggestions? I’d love to add them.
-Admin Angel
The 3 biggest and most popular ships on Glee in my opinion seem to be Klaine, Finchel (Finn & Rachel) and Brittana (Brittany and Santana).
🙂
Thanks for the info! I’ll add them shortly.
-Admin Angel
Destiel is my OTP and I will fight for it. 🙂
Ah none of my other ships/shows made it, just Klaine and Sherioatry. But I doubt the latter will get very far so I’ll just be voting for Klaine.
Surprised none of my doctor who ones did: Doctor/River, Doctor/Master, Captain Jack/…EVERYONE
I didn’t notice Torchwood was left off in the first round, has it really been that long? Jikes. Still love Janto though 😛
Kirk/Bones FTW! 😀
Arghhh, this is bittersweet *but mostly sweet* My bby Ichabbie ship didn’t make it to this round! D: But at least Dean/Cas made it; time to root for my boys! <3
Destiel: the OTP of the OTPs.
SPN fandom, tonight we’ll trend #wherestheangel.
Destiel :**
Johnlock FTW
Romeo and Juliet don’t even hold a candle to it!!!
Once again, Supernatural takes over the post. Congrats, guys.
Thanks 🙂
Sterekers? Where are you? Let’s rock this poll!!!
We are coming *_________*
And wow, you really did. The Teen Wolf fandom never fails to impress.
-Admin Angel
Makes me think of Torchwood: Children of Earth. 😀
OMG Sterek is on the 1st place!! We just have to keep it that way!! C’mon Sterek fans ! Or else, I’m gonna rip your throat out. with.my.teeth. 😀
I’m so sorry Klaine and Destiel but I had to….. I…. I…. I voted for Sterek! Just so you know, it was the hardest decision of my life and this doesn’t mean I love you less.
You’ve betrayed us.
-Destiel shippers
No they didn’t. they voted for another OTP. That’s FINE That’s not betrayal.
-Destiel shipper
Sorry friends it was a joke I respect who they voted for
Some of us got that. 🙂
omg….sterek and destiel…..my 2 otps and they’re BOTH cutthroat biggies…..
i don’t know who to vote for!!!!!
ok….i’ve decided to vote as much as possible for whichever of destiel or sterek is currently in 2nd place at the time of voting, until it evens out again and then let fate take it’s course in the final hours…just to keep things interesting!! ;P
Klaine was my OTP and then Sterek came into my life. Ok they aren’t canon but i don’t care.
Klaine for me is a dead end, the way that the writers hanle them, poor guys.
these are my exact thoughts. sterek still has a chance is interesting (when they actually get scenes together)…of course though i still love klaine they’re just very boring now
finally believe Sterek is going to win ♥
ugh both sterek and klaine are on this list so hard to choose.
Voted for Sam and Dean, the epic love story of Supernatural ♥
I voted Destiel a lot. I am sorry, but it seems even freakin Sammy notices how in love they are with eachother
Agree.
NEEDS
MORE
FEMSLASH
Just saying.
I agree entirely. I wish some would have gotten voted in.
-Admin Angel
I nominated Faith/Buffy, but BtVS didn’t get in. Nor did Lost Girl.
Which on one hand means I can focus on Destiel and Destiel alone, on the other hand, so many ships I’m missing right now.
i would like to nominate allison/lydia from teen wolf if that okay.
Teen Wolf has a third spot available, so done. Allison/Lydia will be in the poll in 5 minutes. 🙂
-Admin Angel
Let’s gooooo, Sterek <33
I thought sabriel was more popular than sastiel (I don’t ship any of them, both make no sense to me, so no bias here, the only thing I ship is destiel) but honestly sabriel is a huger ship, surprised it wasn’t in the poll.
9×11 helped a lot I think. xD
I don’t see why, there was nothing in their interaction that can qualify as other than friendship, but I guess I’ll never get why people ship things that make no sense.
Not sure if you meant it, but that came off a little harsh. I don’t ship it either, but I understand why other people might. Just sayin’, after rare Sam/Cas scenes in the series, episode 11 was a goldmine for Sastiel shippers.
I have nothing against people who ship them, whatever floats their boat, but you basically said that the quantity of onscreen interactions are just enough to ship two characters regardless the nature of said interactions, and that’s what I don’t get; I can understand it as brotp, they’re friends, but there’s nothing remotelly romantic so I don’t understand why people see it as such. It’s not judging, nor dislike, it’s honest confusion that’s all.
Hmm, well in that case it’s probably because of how similar they are. They’ve both been down similar roads with trying to do the right thing, and they’re both good to each other; in that they don’t really fight, they’re caring about the other…but again, I don’t ship it…so I’m not sure how off the mark I am. If there’s a Sastiel shipper out there, it’d be awesome to get your perspective! 🙂
If you guys are really interested, here’s a page about why people ship Sastiel in a much better way than I could ever share: http://buticancarryyou.tumblr.com/whysassy
But yeah, I’m a Sastiel shipper; fell in love from the first handshake, and just loved it more and more as the show went on. ^^
Wow, thanks for that link! This is pretty much what I’ve seen between Sam and Cas, just in a less romantic way. But I still understand where you guys are coming from, it’s a sweet ship. ^ ^
This was an interesting read. We just come from different POVs and I simply see it all as friendship. I do understand people have different views on romance though.
The one thing that bothered me was a scene of “The Man Who Would Be King” with this written on top of it “In fact, Sam always gives Cas the benefit—when no one else does.”. Because that scene was about Dean giving Cas the benefit of doubt and saying Cas would never betray them and Sam and Bobby were the ones saying Cas was lying (which he was, but that’s not the point when it comes to giving the benefit of doubt). The whole episode had Dean giving Cas the benefit of doubt and feeling betrayed at the end because Cas was lying and Sam and Bobby were right. Unless I understood the meaning of the sentence on top of the gif wrong. In this case I’m sorry.
I could say the same thing about Destiel, you know. To me, that ship is nothing but friendship. In fact, that’s what most of these ships are. This is what shippers do: we put a romantic spin on things where most regular viewers wouldn’t see any. It’s a bit rude to say a ship you don’t ship “makes no sense” just because you choose to see the interactions of Sam and Cas as nothing but friendship.
Seems a little rude of you to kinda demand explanation for other people’s ship preferences in the poll comments here. You know, if you don’t get it, and you’re not asking ‘why ship it’ just to try to mock, it’s not hard to do something as simple as google a ship manifesto. Sastiel has more screentime than Sabriel, at least, and half the ship hasn’t been dead for nearly four seasons. That probably helps far as poll nominations go.
I’m monitoring the comments for hate. I apologize if this comment offended you, but I’m not counting it as hate due to the subsequent explanations and good conversation regarding ship preferences. If you do spot hate in the comments that the mods haven’t gotten to please bring it to our attention.
-Admin Angel
It’s what got voted in. I wasn’t expecting it to be top 3, but it seems the popular fandom ships are shifting.
Thank you for making this a fun and fair competition! Go Destiel!
My votes are going to Wincest: The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean. 😉
—
“So you know you can’t trust them, right? You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other, right?”
I love Sterek and so happy that they made it but I kinda wish Scott/Isaac or Scisaac would have made it
YAY! Destiel is winning!
We need to keep it up! Keep our boys goin’ strong! 😀
MMhmm. Haven’t stopped voting 🙂
Just curious, from the results of the first poll it looked like Psych beat out Doctor Who by several places and a significant number of votes, so I was just wondering why you chose to put up Doctor Who ships instead of Psych.
Wow, yeah that was absolutely a mistake on my part. We were keeping tally in an external document and things got out of order. I apologize. I’ll add Psych as an 11th option.
Oh, thank you very much! I’m sorry for the trouble, I was just curious. ^^
I’m going to be eternally rooting for Sterek, but the other ships are lovely too! Good luck to everyone! <3
Sterek Of course!!!
GOD! BEST SHIP STEREK!!!!
Sterek is the best ship ever
I love how it’s always the same two at the top, Sterek may be young but it is glorious. Destiel is cool too 😉
I found myself going, “STEREK!! >XD” One minute they’re way down there, next minute bam! 1st place. You guys never fail to catch me off guard. I sense a lot of flip flopping in # until the poll closes! xD
Looks like Sterek will be giving Destiel a run for its money. If I had to pick between the two it’s Destiel all the way but Sterek’s one of my favorites.
And Sterek Pulls through! Yay!!!
C’mon Klainers, Stydia is catching up!!!
I love the rivalry between Destiel and Sterek. Our shipdoms would make the cutest couple ever. Pretty sure we could rule the world together, tbh.
Love to Destiel from a Sterek fan<3
Hey, Supernatural just had a werewolf episode where they expanded the mythology to include born werewolves, packs, werewolves able to think and plan… And Teen Wolf is having a ‘demon and hunter’ season this year.
So, yeah, two great ships that would be even better together. Can we vote for ‘Super-Wolf’?
Agreed, world domination would be top of our to-do list once we join forces.
Love right back at yeah Sterek, from a Destiel fan. ;D
Haha, I’m glad the Destiel fans agree with me. I really hate battling with you guys, it feels like I’m going against my shipdom soul mates like this. :'( </3
… Needless to say, if 'Superwolf' was an option, I think we would break the voting box, lol.
That would actually be pretty cute indeed XD
Destiel and Sterek shippers together is the best! I love you Sterek shippers soooo much! Even though you guys provide us SO much competition in the polls, you’re always so terrific and it is just too fun talking with you guys and enjoying a friendly rivalry/competition. 🙂
Desterek/Stestiel for life! <3
I love this little section of the comments right here because it makes me so happy, and it’s so true! Together, Sterek and Destiel shippers are AWESOME! I loved Destiel before I even watched SPN thanks to how cool you guys are (though I’m really sold now that I’ve watched the show (; ). Thanks for being our lovely OTP Soulmate guys. <3
Why does it say “round 2”? will there be more rounds after this? is it top 10 or something?
Yes there was a previous poll to vote in the top 10 fandoms.
Thank you, Polldaddy for noticing something was up with those Stydia votes. I’m not even in that fandom and I knew it was strange that they were suddenly voting at the same rate as Destiel and Sterek. Good to see it’s gone back to normal. Come on Klainers, we have a chance!
I take it back. Whatever you’re doing to fix the problem only works for short intervals. The Stiles/Lydia vote rate will almost match the Destiel/Sterek vote rate for 10 minutes and then drop down to almost nothing for a while. This doesn’t seem right.
I’ll be monitoring this situation. The Stydia votes are the first votes that have been suspicious and haven’t matched. The numbers haven’t reached the point that it pings as a definite bot, but I will definitely be monitoring it. If it continues we’ll unfortunately have to close down the poll.
-Admin Angel
I’m in the Supernatural and Teen Wolf fandom and I understand your confusion because that is an unbelievable number of votes for Stydia to get. The online fandom for that ship is rare. It does look like the extreme vote rate you’re talking about has gone back to levels that seem right. Maybe everybody just voted at once for a while and then disappeared. Good luck for your Klaine 🙂
I have now made an announcement about this issue on Tumblr.
http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/75661609272/dear-stydia-shippers
-Admin Angel
Thank you. It was a bit disheartening for us Klaine shippers to see Stydia gaining so many votes and then passing over us and pulling away. I’m happy to see that you’re trying to keep it fair for all of us. Thank you.
On behalf of other Stydia shippers I would like to apologize for the unbelievable actions of some of our fandom. Taking off 10,000 for bots (I have no idea how many there actually were) puts Stydia in 4th place but it’s pretty close right now. Best of luck and hope the bots are done with now.
And now I’m bored with the poll already. The results are the same thing every time.
I wish more people were more of aware of the Jorian the ship from almost human…I wish more people were in the almost human fandom for that matter…..anyway go jorian and destiel!
Destiel is my #1, but I adore Jorian too! Those two are so cute together! And that show is awesome! I really wish the fandom was bigger too.
oh my gosh….destiel is my number one as well! I just love almost human thought because jorian is super cute, and a human with a robot super cool!
DESTIEL IS MY OTP.
Destiel only
Voted for Sterek too but where are all my Spirk shippers?!?!
Space Husbands all the way!!!
We all knew that this was going to be a competition for who comes in third. (Destiel and Sterek are unstoppable). But now we have third place taken by a ship that cheated and should at least be in 6th place if it’s correct that at least 8-10000 votes have been fraudulent. I’m so disappointed.
ADD.) If this poll can add ships in late like the Psych ships and Allison/Lydia and that’s still considered fair, Stiles/Lydia should be reset to 0 as well.
Nobody is going to be happy and I’m going to receive hate mail either way, so this is the option I’ve chosen to pursue that seems the most fair from my end. If I remove it now after I’ve already said they’d get a warning then I’ll be a liar and my inbox will be flooded with anger. This is day 1. There are 11 more days to get the other ships above Stydia. I have no doubt that some of the more popular ships will pull ahead at this point. I’ll be watching it closely and if they use a bot again they will be disqualified. That’s the best I can do at this point. I’m sorry if that option upsets you, but we are about 8% of the way through this competition so there is plenty of time for things to further develop. It doesn’t end tomorrow. If it did I might view things differently.
-Admin Angel
I think you’re doing a great job monitoring this poll! Thank you so much!
Continue voting dears! 😀
I’m a Sterek shipper and I have mad respect for Destiel shippers, because they are fair when it comes to polls :).
I totally agree, this website is really good at keeping things fun and fair. I’ve (unfortunately) never seen Teen Wolf but I really want to and Sterek shippers have made me already ship them… I just wish more Destiel (my OTP) and Sterek shippers got along. (I mean, can you imagine how beautiful it would be if ships cheered each other on instead of tearing each other down?)
“Sterek and Destiel joined forces could probably take over the world” – zainclaw on Tumblr
So true.
Hey, Sterek and Destiel are my two OTPs so I with you there!
As a Destiel shipper who also ships Sterek, thank you for respecting us. A lot of people think we Destiel shippers cheat because we win a lot of polls by huge margins, but in reality we’re just a huge group. Destiel is pretty much the #1 non-canon relationship on Supernatural, so we’re pretty avid fans. Thanks for the respect though, and may the best ship win!!
It’s not who is winning on day 1 but who is in the lead midnight EST Feb 15th! And I sincerely wish every ship good luck and support, but I’m voting STEREK.
Do we have any new estimates on how much botting there’s been (if there’s been anymore)? Last I heard it was around 10,000 but that was old. As a Stydia shipper I’m just curious how close it is between Klaine and Stydia (if the 10,000 is accurate than Klaine’s only ahead by a few hundred). Obviously we can’t know exactly how many douches have been botting but I’d just like a benchmark (if one is even possible).
I still suspect botting. From my estimates there have been less than 50 Stydia shippers visit this poll and it’s going up as though there are hundreds. Unfortunately it’s looking like I’m going to have to disqualify it. I hate to do that. I’m giving it a little bit more time to see how it goes.
-Admin Angel
I understand. Thank you for being so fair and giving them time to come to their senses. I hope they realize what they’ve done. On to cheering for my other ships.
I agree. Unfortunately these people, who are determined to undermine anything Sterek-related will now vote for Destiel. No offense to Destiel shippers, this is a reality of small- minded people with a big chip on their shoulder. Wish we could all have a fair contest and ship and let ship.
I agree. The hate against Sterek has gotten really bad since bisexual!Stiles became more explicit in canon. I guess we just have to just accept it and just keep on shipping. It’s nice to see Sterek being well-supported. Good luck fandom!
“The hate against Sterek has gotten really bad since bisexual!Stiles became more explicit in canon”
Wait…whaaat???
Your ship is semi-canon and that has increased hate against you guys?
OMFG
People are crazy.
I’m really sorry for you even though I’m a destiel shipper.
When I see other shippers online I just think “maybe it’s time to watch their show…” I’ve discovered supernatural because of destiel on tumblr. ^^.
That was so sweet of you! 🙂
I absolutely detest revenge voting. Unfortunately there really is no way to combat that. I really wish there was. I can recognize bots and do my best to balance out the polls when bots interfere, but I can’t get into the heads of people and see their motivation for voting a particular way. The Supernatural fandom has a lot of revenge voting as well, so maybe it’ll balance out. I really wish I could combat revenge voting. I’m sorry. I wish people would play fair. 🙁
-Admin Angel
You’ve done an excellent job keeping track of the suspicious voting. There is absolutely nothing you can do about revenge voting and it’s something most of the Destiel and Sterek voters have gotten used to. It’s just a side-effect of being a bigger ship. I understand why other ships would get annoyed and revenge vote, but it doesn’t make it any less irritating. You’ve done an amazing job at keeping the poll as fair as possible 🙂
Thanks so much. I appreciate the feedback 🙂
-Admin Angel
destiel has always had it’s highly extreme haters as well who will be voting for sterek, so it evens out.
whatever happens between these 2, so long as no bots become involved (which no one genuinely voting for them would do at this point – the only reason one of those ships would have a bot would be sabotage from a hater) then all’s fair. they are the undisputed kings of shipdom – it’s neck and neck and up for grabs either way.
If you take off 10,000 for bots Stydia is still in fourth place. I have small hopes that we can pull through and hold on to 3rd legitimately and am appalled at the behavior of my fellow Stydia shippers.
I’m pretty sure the botting was done by the anti-sterek folks and not by legitimate Stydia-fans.
I find it extremely annoying that the ONLY canon ship in AU Star Trek isn’t represented! How about some Spock/Uhura hmm?
If it were voted in last round it’d be on the list. Unfortunately nobody nominated it. The only three ships nominated were the ones represented in the poll.
-Admin Angel
I thought it would be up these too. However if I’m honest I’m not shocked seeing as it really doesn’t have many fans. I mean yes there IS a fan base, but not one big enough to be of any note. Yes it’s canon, but that doesn’t mean it’s popular. It’s fan sites are pretty dead and the fandom is minuscule compared to other Star Trek ships.
man i hate it when two of my OTP’s are in a ship war. so hard to choose! but for the sake of the never ending battle between Destiel and Sterek im voting for Sterek. but i so so so badly want to vote for Felicity/Oliver from Arrow! oh the life of a shipper. =]
Come on people. Give some votes to Dorian/John Kennex ship from Almost Human!
The two of them talk about olive oil and where to put it, each others balls and there was even dick showing to the other in canon. This underdog show needs more love! Praying for it not to get canceled and instead renewed for a second season.
Go and watch the Dorian/John Kennex in the show and then come back to vote for them!
I have to admit, for a new ship, Dorian/Kennex (are we going with Jorian?) are fantastic! Great chemistry, good characters separately AND together, and portrayed by two GORGEOUS guys.
C’mon destiel shippers. let’s vote some more
While I totally ship Destiel, it does disappoint me that so many shippers “revenge vote” and take the fun out of shipping and ship polls.
Good luck to all the ships! And I’m sorry to hear about revenge voting happening in the Sterek fandom. We Destiel fans have certainly experienced our share of wrath from fans with more hate towards Destiel than love for their ship. It’s unfortunate to see this kind of thing happen in any fandom and to any ship. I am happy to hear about progress with Stiles and his bisexuality. I’ve only watched 2 seasons of the show and I’m far more of a casual viewer than anything else, but I love representation anywhere and Stiles would be a great character to have on *my* LGBTQ+ team. 😉
I’m loving all the love and support from you guys. <3
Hey guys, I’m sorry, I know revenge voting is the most frustrating thing ever. I remember when the destiel haters voted for Sterek just so that our ship would lose, and under normal circumstances I’d say the haters are balancing things out on both sides, but with how things are (Stiles possibly being bisexual and destiel basically being denied left and right by the writers) I guess you have the disadvantage this time, what with sterek haters boiling with rage and destiel haters kinda laughing in the distance.
There’s nothing anyone can do against that, though. Which probably only makes it more frustrating. But stay positive dear sterek shippers, you’re gaining credibility concerning canon, after all <3
Call me foolish, but I still have hope that tptb plan on a Dean/Cas endgame. Especially after this 2nd half of the season, it’s been parallel after parallel and I can’t /not/ think there isn’t something going on! >w<
I wish I could be as positive about this as you. I noticed the parallels, of course, and the Colette one was almost ridiculously obvious, but everything else is just one big destiel denial fest to me. All the girls Dean suddenly hits on again (after stopping almost completely during S8), strange scenes between them that somehow appear stilted and wrong, idk, I just don’t get the vibe anymore. Except for that one scene where they sit in the car and Dean tells Cas “Wait, I can’t let you do this”. But in the end, I guess it was bait after all, and I’m so so tired of being jerked around like that, you know? But that’s not the worst thing: The worst thing is actually how they didn’t only ruin Dean/Cas, but the show in itself doesn’t seem to really try anymore, neither with new characters nor with the story arc. I mean what purpose do all these fillers even serve? Everytime they build up these epic story lines and then they conclude the thing in like, two episodes. And now the strange Dean ‘n Sam thing, too? Ugh. Yeah okay, this wasn’t supposed to become a major wank, I’m still voting for destiel for old times sake. <3
I gotta respectfully disagree and say that it looks like they are very much manoeuvring Dean into position for a long term healthy relationship, and Cas at this stage is the only one in sight who fits the bill as far as who with goes. Dean is going through self destruct mode, and he’s always liked sex – difference is now he has even flat out said he doesn’t actually enjoy the one night stands anymore. Just gotta work the bad out so the good can follow. So yeah, massively hopeful that they won’t chicken out at the last second. Bad Boys showed that until the codependency is broken Dean can’t move on with his own life, and that is happening right now.
I just want to thank the both of you for keeping this discussion respectful. I have enough on my plate with the rest of the comments than to deal with this getting out of hand. So thank you. Active polite discussion is encouraged <3
-Admin Angel
Yes! ProxyOne made a great point, there are a lot of really good meta talking about where the brother’s relationship is going plus where they believe tptb are taking Dean and Castiel. I would definitely recommend Neven-Ebrez on Tumblr, her meta is so good. >w<
@Angel K Oh of course! Thanks to your strict policy on wank, it's helped give this place a good atmosphere. No trolls= Good times. 🙂
Thank you, good points and I will read the meta. There was a time I didn’t doubt it would go canon, actually, and I didn’t understand the people who were so against it, and neither the people who thought it wasn’t even possible. By now I view the meta and think: yes, that’s what I would like it to be, but it’s never this great and deep in the end, is it? Like every time someone makes absolutely brilliant observations but in canon it leads to…nothing? Yeah, I’m really bitter by now, but what gives me actual real hope are people like you who still think destiel is possible or even likely. It makes me stay. Oh and @Angel, I’m sorry if I violated your terms on wank? I hope it doesn’t apply to what I wrote. This is my last message anyway in this poll, I won’t have wifi for the next days. So keep voting guys, I have to leave you to it <3
So glad three of my ships are in the top 3 (yes, I can ship Stiles with more than one person). Come on Stydia, we don’t need stinking bots to maintain third place!
Whilst I have to admire the total dedication of anyone to ANY ship if they are prepared to spend time hunched over their keyboard voting over and over and over again…………What is the point? Surely one vote per site visitor gives a more accurate picture of the support/love for one ship, whoever it is? A few people with time on their hands simply skews the voting and tracking IP addresses checks authenticity.
I do have to admit, I’d like these polls better if you could just vote once, too. I only have time to vote once a day, if that. Just me!
I am loving how teen wolf cast and writers are paying attention to us sterek fans. Hopefully they pay atttention to this one too if we win. they have said before that we seemed to have gone quiet but we are sure showing them lol.
VOTED 4 STEREK <3
I don’t ship Klaine, but I feel kinda bad for them. If the Stydia vote really is skewed by 10,000 votes then Klainers should be in 3rd.
As a Sterek AND Destiel shipper, it brings me great joy to see these two in top form! That said, WHO DO I VOTE FOR? I absolutely love how both shows play into their fandoms, teasing us about these ships. I’ll echo the comments above, saying that I wish people were more respectful when it comes to fandom. I guess, I’ll just have to vote for both and hope that everyone else plays fair in what they love.
That’s what I’m doing. I’m also voting for all my other ships to see how many can make the top 5. I’ve got 3 in there currently.
Woo! I’m happy to see my pairing slowly rising! Keep voting, Lydia/Alison fans. We need more femslash love!<3
I’ve never heard of this ship but now I’m liking it. Femslash ah
Feeling bad for the Klainers who’ve been cheated out of a fair fight, so I’m voting for them even though Sterek is my OTP. I admit I’m disheartened that the site would let Stydia remain in the game after such blatantly hateful actions. Takes a lot of the fun out. 🙁
I know right? I’m voting for Klaine as well. I’m very disappointed in those cheating in the Stydia fandom. 😛
ETA: Whoops, that was supposed to be a frowny face, lol.
I’m personally glad the admins are acting fairly and not punishing all Stydia shippers for the botting. Personally, I’m just subtracting 11,111 off of the Stydia total (mostly because I don’t know how much botting there was). If Stydia is ahead by more than that by Feb 15th (assuming no more botting) I think it’s a legitimate win, otherwise I motion that they get whatever place subtracting that gets them (right now they’d still be in 3rd). I am not condoning the botters actions in the slightest but think that eliminating the entire ship would be inappropriate (although I am obviously biased).
A lot of Klainers have given up and quit voting because of the cheating. So no matter what happens, Stydia cheaters have ensured that the voting will never be fair. No win Stydia gets here will be earned or legitimate IMO.
Since they can’t go in and edit the poll section by section, could they at least post a disclaimer at the top with a penalty for Stydia so Klainers know how close it actually is? Not sure how much good it would do, but I really do want this to be a fair race.
It sucks for honest Stydia shippers and Klainers both because this will never be a fair race as long as Stydia gets to keep those votes with no penalty.
Stydia has been disqualified.
-Admin Angel
I probably came off a little harsh and you’re definitely getting hate from both side, so thank you for doing this and trying to keep it as fair as possible. You rock!
Thank you. <3
-Admin Angel
Stydia has been disqualified.
-Admin Angel
So its come down to this again has it? Well Sterek fans… *ties on a Destiel head band* Let the games begin. 🙂
When you ship both Sterek and Destiel. The struggle is real.
Do the ships have to be from shows that are still on?
As per the rules in round one, the show, movie, or podcast had to have had official canon installments since January 2013.

-Admin Angel
And after a run of high voting, Stydia votes have dropped down to nothing again. Which has been happening for a while. It looks like if you just cheat enough without doing enough to be traced as bot voting you’re allowed to stay in. Wonderful 🙁 We’re never going to catch up to that.
Yeah, what’s with that? Every now and then I’ll notice the Stiles/Lydia vote practically matching the Sterek and the Destiel votes and then it drops way down to only one or two votes for a little bit and goes back up again. It’s the only one I’ve noticed doing it because I thought it might just be a heap of shippers voting in waves, but the Sterek, Destiel and Klaine votes have kept consistent (I’m not sure about the others). I don’t know what to make of it.
I don’t know either. But we’re currently at the time that the Stydia percentage goes down fast because the vote increment is so small. Don’t worry though because just as I think the problem’s been fixed the Stydia vote starts voting again at a huge rate and we lose any percentage we gained during their ‘off’ period. I don’t know why I’m even bothering to keep voting except my Klaine love is just too damn strong.
Stydia has been disqualified.
-Admin Angel
Thanks for noticing the weird voting. I know we we way behind Stiles/Lydia but there were moments we’d make headway and the voting would shoot up again. Thanks.
You’re welcome. I want things to remain fair and fun.
-Admin Angel
Stydia has been disqualified.
-Admin Angel
Really not fair at all to the Stydia fans who had nothing to do with the bot, they should still be given a fair chance to vote like everyone else, now it feels like we’re being punished for something not all of us have done, or ever would…
Unfortunately this is the most fair thing we can do. There is no way to manually subtract votes and everyone below Stydia felt like it was unfair. I have been getting hate mail all night. Waking up to 84 emails about a poll is not fun. In order for the vast majority of poll voters to feel that things remain even this is what we had to do. I’m sorry. I ship Stydia too and removing it from the poll hurt me a lot.
-Admin Angel
Question about your Stydia shipper status! Do you have more than one ship for Stiles? I know you’re crazy about Sterek. (Personally, I like Danny/Stiles best of the choices in front of me.)
Yes. Stydia is actually my #5 ship. My OTP of the show isn’t even in this poll. The only ship for Teen Wolf that’s on this poll is #4. My top 2 ships for the show are pretty much all on the same ground. Isaac/Scott and Isaac/Allison. Then I ship Scott/Kira. Then Sterek at #4. Then Stydia. I wish some variation of Isaac/Scott/Allison had made it (or even OT3 which absolutely wasn’t against the rules, but nobody even nominated), but this isn’t my poll. It’s the readers poll. And the readers have spoken.
-Admin Angel
they were given a fair chance though. it always sucks when the honest people have to suffer because of the actions of a few twats….but tbh there’s simply nothing else for it. multiple warnings were given, both in general and then addressing the stydia fandom specifically, and yet were still ignored. it’s aweful for the honest voters like yourself, yes, but hopefully it might serve as a lesson to the cheaters in future – you can’t get away with it. for future polls, with that lesson learnt, the ship will probably stand a much better chance :). not just with stydia either – bots have been a long running problem for many ships, and the only way to stamp them out and make it a better environment for all is to show that they cannot get away with it. i really do hope this is the last that the stydia fandom at large has to put with them, and that they come back stronger for it next time,…but for now…it’s simply not fair to ignore the rules put in place from the start and let a ship that blatently cheated continue. fair warning was given….
i actually really want to congratulate Angel K on the fantastic job he/she is doing in running this, monitoring it and keeping everything running smoothly. it can’t be easy but they’re handling it wonderfully. this is one of the only places were the competition somehow carries a nice, friendly vibe, and irregularities are picked up on and dealt with fairly and efficiently. great job.
Angel, I just wanted to thank you for trying to keep things fair. I’m sure this has been really stressful on you, but your efforts are appreciated.
To the Stydia shippers who weren’t cheating, I’m sorry this happened. I’m sure it’s very upsetting to be associated with people who were cheating, and to be disqualified even though you personally didn’t do anything wrong. 🙁
Thanks. I had to deal with 84 emails before even making coffee. And I still have a day job to go to now. I appreciate the kind feedback. Makes this worthwhile <3
-Admin Angel
What’s to stop the revenge voters from putting a bot on the Destiel or Sterek polls just to get then disqualified? This is why the Backlot had to stop unlimited voting because that was suspected to have happened to Destiel and Sterek in that poll.
If further bot voting occurs we will shut down unlimited voting or put other measures in place.
-Admin Angel
omg how can spirk be in a lower position than sastiel…
Oh my Godstiel, it’s ridiculous *in a good way* how neck-and-neck Destiel and Sterek are. It’s like they keep trading the #1 spot every 30 minutes or so! Grr, this is going to be exhausting. x’D
what is botting? and such..so confused
Botting is cheating using code. Please don’t do it.
-Admin Angel
oooh i assure you i dont plan to. I would want my ship to win fair and square i just was confused as to what it was.
Please add Jimlock to the Sherlock/Moriarty ship. I don’t like how there’s Sherlolly, but for Sherlock/Moriarty there’s no ship name while I personally see it as far more superior.
This was based off comments in the last thread. I didn’t know the ship name for this ship. It wasn’t a personal dig at the ship so I apologize if it read that way. I don’t ship either thing so it definitely wasn’t personal. Many ships don’t have ship names in the poll. I’ve seen “Sheriarty” as the ship name for that one as well and I wasn’t sure which was the common name. I left it blank so I didn’t get it wrong.
Either way, I’ll go ahead and add “Jimlock” as the official ship name as nobody else has commented otherwise.
-Admin Angel
I think “Sheriarty” sounds cuter, but I’m not, like, offended by “Jimlock.” (Gym lock? 😉 )
I compromised by putting both. 🙂
-Admin Angel
Reading through these comments just now has been joyful. Thank you sooo much to all of you that have kept the comments nice, polite, and fun. All you guys rock. And thank you Angel soooooooooo much for all that you’re doing to keep it that way and to make sure the poll stays fair. I’m sorry that it has been causing you such a headache and that you’ve been getting so many angry emails about it, but please do know that many of us really appreciate you and the atmosphere that you’re working to create and how hard you’re working to keep the poll fair for everyone.
I’m sorry that a handful or less of people using a vote got Stydia disqualified. I don’t ship it myself but I really hate it for all of you Stydia shippers that were playing fair.
And I’m sorry for the Klaine shippers that were disheartened before over it.
Sterek shippers and my fellow Destiel fans, you rock. I love how dedicated you all are to voting and supporting your ships, and I hate to hear of revenge voting going going. Keep your heads up, guys.
Jorian shippers, I’m sooo happy to see Jorian love being spread in the comments! Anyone who doesn’t watch Almost Human is definitely missing out on a great new show and a great new ship! John and Dorian really are just too awesome.
Keep the love flowing, everyone! <3
Thank you so much for the feedback. <3
-Admin Angel
I would definitely stop unlimited voting. The numbers get out of control and then people either use bot votes for their ship, or to revenge vote against someone by increasing their competition, or to get a ship disqualified they hate. As someone else said, this all happened during the backlot. If you can switch to 1 vote per IP, I’m sure that would save a lot of drama.
I’ll consider it, but not at this time. I like having people voting in a dedicated fashion. If problems persist I will limit it. But not now.
-Admin Angel
The Backlot solution wasn’t perfect though because the changed from unlimited voting to one vote per IP per hour in the middle of the poll when Destiel already managed to get a very sizeable lead. it was impossible to beat it after that. I hope the Backlot makes it one vote per IP per hour from the start next time. Unlimited voting just adds to too many problems.
This has been, for the most part, a fun exercise. Kudos to everyone who does it for fun, and love of their own ship, and shows respect for what other people love. Make this all worthwhile. And to the admin who kept their head, humor, through a patch of nastiness.
Thanks to everyone that kept it that way.
To paraphrase Scotty- I like these ships, they’re exciting!
im a dedicated destiel shipper I try and vote in all the polls and I love to blog about them and continue to hope that it will become cannon. But i still respect sterek heck my best friend ships it so I am so sorry to every fandom not just teen wolf for the hate or the revenge voting. Honestly nothings ever going to be perfectly fair but at least we know that we love our shows and that we have a bond together just as fans. I sincerely wish every ship the best of luck because remember even if they aren’t your cup of tea someone out there ships them just as hard as you ship your OTP
What a sweet comment. 🙂 I agree with you. This is supposed to be fun!
dude i feel you. my sister is a huge supernatual fan so i try to respect the supernatural fandom even if i am a huge sterek shipper.
But….
I don’t know whether to vote for Doctor/Rose, Destiel, or Johnlock!!!
*Cries*
Vote for all three then. 🙂 You can vote for more than one ship at a time.
Destiel is my ultimate OTP, but Sterek is so very adorable. So many ships that I ship are listed; good luck to everyone!
in like a matter of 5mins the destiel ship went up by almost 3000 votes … ugh theres no hope in beating them 🙁 🙁
Don’t give up on Sterek!
Yeah, don’t give up! It’s actually staying pretty close. But Destiel has a huge fanbase in Russia, so when they start voting, they get a nice lead. It just means us Sterek shippers have to stick in there and vote, vote, vote 🙂 I love these polls because Destiel shippers are always so cool to us. They’ve been doing this a lot longer and have dealt with the hate that we’ve been getting from our own fandom for a lot longer as well. It’s nice that Destiel and Sterek have a bond but stay competitive. It’s going to be interesting to see the total number of votes this thing is going to have when it ends. It’s going to be high.
i love it!:)
it’s sort of like BFF/sibling rivelry. destiel and sterek are my 2 favourite ships and my 2 favourite fandoms (followed by johnlock, doctor/rose, kirk/spock and stydia). as far as i can tell people on both sides have always had a massive love and respect for the the other. it’s like they’re there for each other and supportive of one another all the time, and then still keep that friendly competition going with a wink wink nudge nudge!! like “OH, so we meet AGAIN! well, let the games begin, mwahahahaa!!!!…btw how’s your mum doing? you keeping well? that great, love you! good luck, hugs and kisses xoxoxox!!”
Very cute! 😀 I like it when ships make friends of people.
come on sterek lets keep going dont give up till its over
Don’t give up! Nothing is impossible and I’ve seen bigger leads than that be overtaken. Personally I’m rooting and voting for Destiel cause they’re my #1, but you never know what can happen in these polls so keep on voting for what you love, and remember that in the end it doesn’t matter that much cause it is just a poll and we’re all here just to have fun.
I agree. Big leads can change really quickly. Sterek shippers have been really organized and kept posts in the Sterek tag and on dashes to remind everybody. I’m sure Destiel shippers are doing the same and it just depends on the timezones. Destiel gets a big boost from the Russians and Sterek seems to get a big boost from the Australians (I’m guessing, I’m just going from the times and who’s more likely to be on). There’s been a lot of great joint Sterek/Destiel voting posts show up on my dash today, so everybody is motivated. I love it 🙂
STEREK <3
Maybe a stupid question but can we only vote for one ship or multiple? Because it allows me to select several ships and I want to make my votes count.
Thanks
Vote for as many as you like 🙂
So if I select lets say 4 ships, and click Vote, all will get a point? Is this how it works?
That is correct.
-Admin Angel
Thank you for the clarification.
And for the great work on an awesome Poll 🙂
I hope Sterek wins, although I do like Destiel &Klaine is one of my OTPs, but let’s face it, it won’t win; but I hope Klaine’ll be on 3rd place!:)
I just want to thank you all. I’m a huge Sterek shipper and I’ve had my lesson most of the time not to read comments under polls or stuff. But this one, I did read some, and I’m so nicely surprised how wonderful everyone here are. It makes it a pleasure to take pare in this, and yeah.
Ships, no matter which one, should be all about love and not hate, right? 😉
Only problem I see is the amount of great ships in this poll eh! Good problem tho.
Dear Admin,
you wrote Stiles wrong in your Admin note. It is Stiles not Styles.
Thanks! Sorry.
-Admin Angel
With Stydia’s elimination, Teen Wolf is done to two ships in the polls. Would it be inappropriate to add Scisaac this late in the game to bring them back to three? Obviously they can’t hope to catch the top 10 or so, but there is a fandom for it. I know Angel ships them, so rather than put her in a position to get hate mail because people think she’s biased I’d like several other people’s opinions (particularly those with ships on the bottom half because they could theoretically be caught up to in the next week).
Thanks for understanding the possible bias here since it’s a big ship of mine. Hopefully others will like this idea and then I’d love to put it in. 🙂
-Admin Angel
You should totally do that! Scisaac is a great ship and totally deserve it to be there and I’d definitely vote for them!:) (That’s my other OTP on Teen Wolf besides Sterek, of course)
Done. Thanks for helping me get one of my big Teen Wolf ships on the board 🙂
-Admin Angel
For some reason Scisaac isn’t showing up for me to vote but it is in the results so obviously some people can vote for it. I’m on a tablet, is there something I can do setting wise that would be causing this. I’ll try from a computer in a few hours but was wondering if there was anyone else with this problem or anything I could do to fix it from my end (I can still see and vote for all the other ships).
Never mind, it literally just showed up
I really like Scisaac as well. Though currently in canon I’m all for Scira. I know I’m not very helpful with my comment but put my vote in for adding Scisaac.
Destiel and Sterek, my two favorite ships, duking it out as always! If Destiel can’t win, I want Sterek to have the victory. Sterek shippers are wonderful and actually made me watch Teen Wolf to begin with. Also I’m happy to see my third favorite ship, Cecilos from Nightvale, doing pretty good. Cecil and Carlos are the cutest.
My only problem with this poll is the lack of chaleigh. Chuck Hansen/Raleigh Becket: Pacific Rim.
I am definitely a Destiel shipper! Like legit, Destiel is THIS close to becoming canon. I have never watched teen wolf, so I dont know about Sterek. But this is a fair competition, so its all fun.
Yay another Destiel optimist! <333 Well, cautiously optimistic. BUT THERE'S STILL HOPE. <33333333
I’m kinda scared for Destiel though after the last few episodes and watching next week’s promo. Especially when it seems like all of Deans character development is gone, but this could just be him struggling with Sammy trying to be independent.
I’m pretty sure they intend to make Dean hit rock bottom so they can “rebuild him”; this unhealthy relationship needs to be dealt with first. 🙂
I think I’m just having cas withdrawals to the amount of hella.
are you for real? the writers and tptb themselves have said destiel is never gonna happen. they have admitted to queerbaiting the fans from the start. there was never even a plan to bring destiel to the higher ups to be considered. had you been living under a rock when that whole destiel fandom drama happened? sorry to burst your bubble hun.
Unless I hear it from Jeremy Carver, I’m still going to be cautiously optimistic.
I’m with you on that plus time changes things and really you never know. But the profound bond between the two is undeniable. And honestly destiel becoming canon would really be helpful to the LGBTQ community.
Exactly! Until I hear it from the head honcho I ain’t givin’ up hope! >:3 The show so far has only been reinforcing my hopes, but I know things might not go how I might hope. So…cautiously optimistic feels like a good way to describe how I feel about Destiel going canon. <3
Let’s keep the conversation upbeat and positive. As this isn’t ship hate (you aren’t hating on the ship, just being a tad rude) it’ll stay, but the tone of this post violates our policies. Avoid condescending phrases like “are you for real?” and “have you been living under a rock?” please. You can have a healthy discussion about things without insulting those you disagree with. There’s been plenty of disagreement in these comments without insulting people who disagree with them. Try to do that, please. Thank you.
-Admin Angel
Patty, none of the writers have ever said Destiel isn’t going to happen. Someone from the network who supervises scripts said they didn’t have intentions for bi!Dean, but that same person also said that if the story called for it he wouldn’t oppose Destiel. However, the whole point here is that this man, Chad Kennedy, isn’t a writer. And he’s certainly not the showrunner. In other words, his word doesn’t mean anything in terms of Destiel going canon or not. The rest of the PR disaster came from a director, I believe (again who is NOT a writer) and just more wank from anti-destiel fans. So all together, no one ever said Destiel didn’t have a chance. And moreover, the writers never said a single word for or against. It’s all just been wank. I’d advise everyone NOT to get their hopes up, be as cautious as you want, but for those who are hopeful I say continue to be hopeful. There’s nothing concrete standing in your way, just a bunch of hot air and wishful thinking from fans who want the opposite of you. Which is fine! Everyone can ‘want’ what they want. Just don’t make it a fact if it isn’t one. 😉
Exactly this! Not to mention that was the perfect moment for Jeremy to say, once and for all that Dean/Cas would in fact, never be endgame. At that point we just wanted straight answers, it’s fine if you don’t plan to ever make them happen but just please tell us. Nada. Just a “wait and see”.
Come on klainers!!! Let’s do it for our babies!!! DO IT FOR DARREN!!!!!!!!
Hey people!! I like a lot the atmosphere here, it’s super welcoming and warming.
Thanks to the geekiary!!
It would be sweet is we started sharing our tumblr accounts or twitter users! So we can meet new people and make new friends outside this comment section. What do you think?
My tumblr is Onamelancholyhill (link in my name in this comment) and my twitter, @anabellebaggins. I’m a Destiel shipper and I enjoy a lot of fandoms as well.
And you???
Great idea! I typed your url in for tumblr and I’m already following you! I thought it was a funny coincidence. Here’s mine: imbatman-whenimnotbusy-eatingpie.tumblr.com
Awesome. My url is postponing-the-apocalypse.tumblr.com (linked in my name). It’s more or less an all purpose blog with the main reblogs being SuperWhoLock, Teen Wolf, and puns. I’m a big Stiles shipper (by which I mean I ship Stiles with nearly everyone) as well as Destiel, Scissac, and Harmony.
Aww I’m so happy this poll has lead to new friendships <3
-Admin Angel
You are literally the best admin I have ever seen
Agreed
Awww you guys are makin me blush. Makes the work I’m doing feel worth it. If you want to find me I’m angel-kink.tumblr.com 😉
-Admin Angel
I just looked up your url and OMG I ALREADY FOLLOW YOU!
Great idea! 🙂 There’s so many awesome commenters here that I’d love to be friends even after this poll is over.
I’m lisaravenscroft.tumblr.com and @LRavenscroft13 on Twitter. I’m a huge Destiel fan, but been getting really disheartened with the show itself this season. I’m becoming more and more of an Almost Human fan (especially Dorian/John) and also loving Agents of SHIELD too, and I always have been and probably always will be in love with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit.
come on sterek we can do this
Is anybody going to even mention how well Cecil and Carlos are doing? I’m sure this is pretty big–I didn’t know they could ever be this popular. Sorry, I’d love to support destiel like I usually do, but this not this time–have to help keep my otp up there with the best of em. I’m rooting for you, though!
In the last poll Geekiary did (well I think it was the last one) it was about canon slash couples, Cecil and Carlos came second to Klaine 🙂 Gave us a challenge too 😉 Inspired me to check it out!
You can vote for multiple ships at one time! I’m voting for quite a few, including Cecil & Carlos.
ouh, this is going to get close. But it looks good for Destiel atm so all I hope is that the Sherlockians somehow manage to get Johnlock on #3. Keep voting guys :>
Oliver/Dinah is how that ship is referred to in the comics, not the TV show Arrow. In the show it’s Oliver/Laurel.
I’m confused. Isn’t Dinah laurel & Sarah’s mom? So wouldn’t those be two completely different ships? I’m sorry if I’ve misinterpreted your post. I’m just really lost.
Yes, in the show Dinah is Laurel and Sarah’s mom. But in the comics, Black Canary/Laurel’s real name is Dinah. They changed things in the show. I just noticed in the poll that Oliver/Dinah is listed. I suppose it could be that it’s supposed to mean the pairing of Oliver and Laurel’s mother, but I don’t think that’s the case.
Ohhh! Thank you for the clarification. I’ve never read the comics so I had no idea. I just watch the show on TV. Now it makes a lot more sense that it’s on their. I was so confused when I saw that as an option because we never see them interact.
Same. Oliver/Laurel’s mom is definitely a ship I didn’t expect to see listed 🙂 But it is the more common way to list the Green Arrow/Black Canary ship in the comics. Or maybe there are just a whole lot of Oliver/Laurel’s mom shippers we haven’t heard of before 😉 (I joke with love, Admin).
lol I don’t watch this show and relied 100% on comments for the entries. I have no idea who any of these characters are except I think Laurel was Ruby 1.0 from Supernatural maybe.

Yup she’s Ruby 1.0. I didn’t recognize her until I read the cast list. Lol
Why am I unsurprised that Stydia voters played so dirty they were disqualified…. ugh. Nice one guys *eyeroll*.
Hi, Destiel shipper here.
Good luck to Sterek in the run for first. I haven’t watched the show yet, but it’s definitely on the list. I’m really sorry about the hate and revenge voting. Congrats on the Stiles progress, though.
That is very nice of you, I at least appreciate it 🙂
I love fighting for the ship you love, but it shouldn’t end up in war between the people behind the ship. ^^ And you won’t be disappointed when you watch the show, believe me (:
When you mean with “Stiles progress” him being officially bi now, then thank you 😀
I also wish you Destiel shippers luck with Dean and Cas. I love the both of them, Dean is my fave character ever on tv, so it often feels strange to vote against him haha ^^
Love, a Sterek shipper
It’s always good to see people from opposing ships getting along. We don’t need to burn each other down 🙂
I admit, I have seen veeery little of Cas in SPN (because I don’t watch it) but I do understand why it’s loved
It certainly is good to see! 🙂 But unfortunately there will always be those people hating on each other. Well, we don’t have to join them (:
And yeah, I also understand why people like Dean and Cas together. ^^
Oh oh! *grabs blankets and pillows* Do tell, it’s always fun to hear an outside perspective on your OTP. *passes hot cocoa around*
Well, isn’t it pretty obvious why I would like Cas and Dean together? 😀 Probably the same reason why you do ^^ They really care for each other, have a special bond, would die for the other and are both very hot and the one is an angel the other one a hunter, who also happens to hunt angels ^^ There’s surely some more stuff to it, but that’s all I can think of right now ^^ I don’t know why I don’t ship them at all, besides from being very good friends. Theoretically they would make an awesome couple, but to me they are just very close friends or kinda brothers.
I don’t know, I never got that vibe from Dean, since he’s always with the ladies, and Cas, I’m not sure, he’s sometimes too gay for being gay, especially since he always seems like he has no clue what he’s talking about when it comes to love. ^^ And there have been enough occasions for them to get together, but they are still not an item, so I just can’t believe that they love each other like that.
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to talk them down, I’m just trying to explain my opinion to you.
I mean, there are a lot of people who didn’t get the Sterek vibe, so I don’t know if shipping is a thing about being right and wrong, or just a question of taste, but probably the latter.
I also think this was a great idea! Although im a little sad that I saw the polls to late to try to get doctor(11)/river on there ive gotten to vote for multiple ships which.is awesom because there’s no way I could choose just one!
Stiles didn’t come out as officially bi, he just didn’t respond when the girl asked him if he likes boys. They’re is a huge difference. (BTW IDK if this came off as rude, it’s just an FYI)
Okay, he didn’t officially come out as bi, but I guess it is quite obvious that he is now. Only a blind man who cannot hear couldn’t know that. Especially since Jeff Davis already hinted at him being bi multiple times before. So this was quite the confirmation.
I ship, adore and love the idea of STEREK but have to agree with you. Stiles was kissed by a bi girl, he did NOT respond to her asking if he liked boys too. It’s has been widely interpreted as him admitting he does, when in fact he had a LOT of other things on his mind. I think there’s a great deal of wishful thinking going on here and ‘reading between the lines’ which may not be there. Until he says he likes boys and does something to show he does I think it’s sadly, pure fandom speculation.
Voted STEREK
What was the point of the scene if not to put that idea out there? It wasn’t relevant to the plot otherwise and didn’t advance the story, so it can only be interpreted as a stepping stone to an inevitable confirmation IMO. Air time is either used for plot or character development, and seeing as Caitlin is barely a background character, I’m guessing the scene wasn’t done for her character arc.
Also, if you’ve ever seen the directors cut of the scene (you can prob find it by googling around), Stiles actually nods when she asks him if he likes boys. I think they cut the shot to make it more ambivalent to either hedge their bets or draw the sexual identity crisis out longer for drama. Or maybe they have a surprise waiting for us and didn’t want to disminish the ‘shock’? You know how much Jeff Davis loves to shock.
Wonderfully put PSB! The stiles/caitlyn scene may not have been very straight forward, (when is jeff anyways) but it was there for a reason.
Personally I hope that the girl’s whole purpose it to make Stiles realize that he may be bisexual. He spent years being “in love” with Lydia and now he’s just friends with her and too much crap is happening around him to come up with a new obsession and Zelda William’s charcter might just be the push he needs to realize he can like girls and boys..
..or it could just be Jeff trolling his fans..
..sadly it’s probably the later.
Except Stiles has crap ton of other things going on right now, like being possessed and all, so I really hope Jeff underplays it using a romantic story line for Stiles right now. I am a 100% sterek shipper but even I know that there is a place and a time for that kind of plot line.
Sadly, you’re probably right. Jeff Davis will do/say almost anything to get higher ratings for the show , The only thing he’s said definitely is that STEREK will never happen. If Derek survives season 3B- 4 it will be a miracle, he’s being edged slowly out with very little screen time so far this season. As for the nod, I don’t know perhaps he WASN’T supposed to nod and they cut it? Things can be interpreted so many ways.
COME ON STEREK!!
When did Jeff ever say that Sterek won’t happen? Actually at the moment there’s happening pretty much stuff that rather WILL make Sterek happen. From the point of like 10 episodes ago, it would have been impossible to make Sterek happen, certain things first had to change.
You don’t know how much I love you right now, PSB!
The whole point of that scene is so obvious, isn’t it? Each of your words, that’s exactly how it is and how I always explain it to others, who don’t seem to get television and plot points…
I can’t say anything anymore, since you already put my thoughts in perfect sentences, finally someone who understands it. That makes me really happy xD
But how do you know about this directors cut? Have never heard about it? O.O
http://dancinbutterfly.tumblr.com/post/74944844758/this-is-a-supposed-directors-cut-of-the-do-you
I love Derek and Stiles and I truly hope they become a couple! Amen!
They are th reason i became hooked to teen wolf show!
Please Please Please guys Keep voting for Derek and Stiles!
About that there’s a very interessant director cut of this scene where Stiles nods when Caitlin asked about the boy, this was more efficient that the scene who aired.
Okay, I may be wrong but isn’t the fact that these top couples are bashed kind of a given in fandom land. (not sure about other shows). I know as a Klainer, I and my Klainer friends often have to endure kind of hate when talking about Blaine, but I’m happy for this poll. I can acknowledge that the other ships are more popular but us Klainers are (hopefully) not going to give up in going for third place ^.^
Plus, the whole Klaine fanbase has gotten excited that Kurt, (SPOILERwho is engaged to Blaine nowSPOILER) is going to Blaine’s graduation…kinda obvious but that’s how little respect we have for the show’s writing team.
It may be a given everywhere else but here. We are proud to be ship bashing free 🙂
-Admin Angel
aw it’s so great seeing such beautiful people like you here ;_____;
I watch both SPN and TW, and I can see chemistry in both relationships, although Sterek is still my number 1.
I also think that if Destiel and Sterek shippers would unite we could take over the world lol.
It’s great to know that there are people who don’t spread hate, because come on guys, hate in any form is just awful and will only lead to anger and sadness, and meanwhile we could just be kind and supportive to each other and live in the beautiful world of shippers who respect each other’s choices and basically a happy family. That would be so great.
Good luck to Destiel too – it will still be the first and biggest ship in history, no matter if it will become canon or not.
Destiel/Sterek shipper mutual appreciation! It’s a beautiful thing!
I need to watch TW, but I’m a little scared because Spn already completely took over my entire existence in just the 2 years since I started watching so I don’t know if I can cope with more potentially life-consuming TV 😉
But yeah – we should definitely unite and take over the world – bwahahaha!!
OMG MUCH INTENSE. WOW DESTIEL. SUCH STEREK. (THO I DONT KNO WAT STEREK IS). BUT, OMG SUPER LOVENESS, GOSHNESS. DONT BE HATIN’ CUZ SHIPPERS BE VOTIN’.
(But if Destiel looses I’ll probably be curled up in a small ball beside our fridge, crying over my broken heart and drinking Jack mornin’, noon ‘n night. Anyhoo. What I’ve said is done and done, twiddly winks and flip-for, adeiu!)
You guys are all so sweet and cute! *_*
I’m giving you all a big hug. :3
Yay a hug! I give a big hug back to you 😀
Lol well its amazing how Sterek overtook Destiel today, it kinda shows how strong the Teen Wolf Fandom is, and Scisaac is making its way up the ranks slowly.
Thank you for being really cool! I’m not a destiel shipper, I haven’t really watched the show tbh but I’m sure they’re really swell together!
It always comes down to Destiel vs. Stererk
I’m not sure if this will work but I just had to try putting a link to this gif here because it was too perfect not to use for this comment. Made me LOL, so I hope it does for someone else too. 🙂
Nope, it didn’t work. Oh well… here’s a link to the gif I was trying to use: http://media.tumblr.com/dda18959ea8b3da54db428780374362e/tumblr_inline_mtwdiyA5VA1r85v6p.gif
It’s the one where Lucifer!Sam tells Dean that they’ll always end up there. Seemed appropriate for this comment. *grins*
I feel like you are a tumblr person… lol
Nit really, mostly Destiel vs Stony, or something in that range
Hi! i am a destiel, johnlock, 10rose, and many others. but i must say, i am voting for my babies cecilos this time. go night valiens, go!!!!
It irritates me that whatever poll you go to it will ALWAYS be one of those two that wins. Maybe next time we could do a poll without them, just so that one of the other ships could have a chance to shine?
I did have a “canon only” poll and it came down to Klaine (Glee) and Cecilos (Welcome to Night Vale). If I could figure out how to have a poll about shipping that let some of the lesser known ships have a chance without simply saying “you can’t participate because you’re popular” I would. Having the canon only poll was the best way I could think of to do it. I’m open to suggestions!
-Admin Angel
Can we have a femslash poll? =]
Ooh yes, I like that idea very much. 🙂 Perhaps once this poll has concluded we’ll do a femslash exclusive poll.
-Admin Angel
Just want to update you: the editors and writers are now moving forward with a femslash poll so this will definitely be our next poll. 🙂 We’re just working out the details.
-Admin Angel
Its always down to Sterek vs Destiel…. Sterek always win.
Sterek fans hope that with this Poll Jeff Davis (Producer and writer) might add more Sterek bromance and hinted Sterek for us in Teen Wolf. Thats why Sterek usually wins.
I don’t know if this would work, but what about something like the way they do minor league sports teams? A triple-A division that is the big guns, a double-A division that consists of mid-size fandoms, a single-A division that’s more like Yuletide, very small fandoms that get crushed by everyone else. Granted, the big one would pretty much just be Destiel and Sterek fighting it out, but they still get declared the winner of their division, and can carry off a title without being excluded or curbstomping everyone else, does that make sense?
It would be easy-ish to figure out who goes were. Have an opening poll like you did before, where everyone votes couples they want in. Based on the # of votes pairings get in the pre-poll, they get assigned to a certain division, and then fandom/pairings that are more the same size can square off against each other without knowing going in that they’re going to get third place.
I like this in theory. The only problem I foresee is people getting mad at where their ship was placed. They might think they are bigger than they are and feel insulted to be put in a lower division OR they might feel they were put in a division that was too high and blame that for them losing. The comments section would be a war zone of disputes over which division I put them in. If I could find one standardized way of placing them in ‘shipping divisions’ I’d definitely be in favor of this idea. I could use this poll as an indicator, but people who didn’t know about this poll might complain. I could use the frequency of posts in a shipping tag on Tumblr, but not of our traffic comes from Tumblr and there’s disputes over portmanteaus sometimes anyway. If I could find a way to make this work relatively wank free, I will do this.
-Admin Angel
I love the idea that’s been brought up in the comments. Destiel & Sterek vs all the other ships. I’ve never actually seen that done before. The vote count would be huge on both sides and revenge voting would disappear because all revenge voters would just be voting with the other ships. Might still have a problem with bots though, but this poll has been pretty good with handling that issue.
This actually sounds like a fun idea!
Sterek and Destiel <3
Здесь голосуют люди из России? 😀
Голосуют,София 😀
За какой фэндом голосуешь?
I’m just going to assume this isn’t ship hate that I have to moderate 🙂
-Admin Angel
Я не очень хорошо знаю английский,простите. Не могу ответить,т.к не понимаю, о чем Вы пишете 🙂
Destiel vs Sterek 😀
Lets go Destiel!
I am a Destiel shipper, and I ship the Destiel fandom with the Sterek fandom u_u we are powerful, we are nice, we spread love. We are like two side of the coin right now. Can we set a fandom marriage? And the officer will be the third ship in this poll ^^
Imagine if it was a double couple poll? Like Sterek&Destiel Vs other double couples. It would be awesome domination!
Omg, that would be nuts. The #s would be in the millions…
I’d like to see a double couple poll where Destiel&Sterek are against the winners of the femslash poll. I bet the femslash shippers won’t give up easily. 🙂
OMG I WANT THIS PLZ DO THIS ADMIN OMG YES I WOULD PAY BIG MONEY TO SEE THIS
I’ll consider it 🙂
-Admin Angel
Exactly! Can we all just get married to each other simultaneously? We sterek fans love you guys just as much, our love for destiel fans is basically circulating in the air. MARRY US!<3
Now we just need a 3rd ship to marry us. :))
For the most venerable ship, I’d say having Kirk/Spock do the marriage. (Besides, can’t ship’s captains marry people?)
The Sterek/Destiel love in these comments is so great! Yes, lets marry the fandoms <3
I love both Sterek and Destiel <3
As a proud Destiel shipper, I would like to say congratulations to the Sterek shippers for having the lead! 😀 For who knows how long we have battled for the title of the Best Unsinkable Ship and that, should you win this poll (not just this round but this poll) I would like to say congratulations and great job for the determination and hard work you guys put through it!
I haven’t watched your show yet (goddamn, it’s been such a busy school year I haven’t had the time so far to catch up on anything, even Supernatural) but from the little snippets that I catch here and there on my brother’s laptop screen, I can tell you two things: your show looks awesome, and the ship you defend seems very great. Teen Wolf is #1 on my To Watch list.
Also, don’t let these haters get you guys down – it’s a friendly competition that gets us all together and besides, hater shippers are amateur/extremist shippers.
Oops, sorry, I forgot – I got two names. 🙂 So please don’t get confused.
Voting Sterek and Newt/Hermann c:
Arg how do I choose? I ship all of these! I should cut down on my Ao3 and Tumblr time…
Just imagine the Destiel and Sterek shippers working together…
OMG We would be unstoppable 😀
Angel, do you have some stats of unique visitors voting Destiel since the poll started? I feel like this kind of information should start to be shared because there are still some people that believe we are 10 or less “crazies” voting 24 hours a day…
That information would be really really interesting.
Hey, just felt like saying that I am so happy that Destiel and Sterek shippers are wishing each other luck, both are amazing ships. So best of luck to both!
A Sterek shipper 🙂
Me too! Sometimes I cant stand to look at the comment sections of polls but honestly, the comments on this poll are probably the nicest I’ve ever seen. Good luck everyone! And may the odds be ever in your favor!
A Destiel shipper <3
OMG, it’s like a war here.
Guys, let’s keep calm and be awesomely level-headed. Every fandom is unique.
By the way, let’s vote only one time. Isn’t that the meaning of the poll?
P.S. I vote for Bella x Edward. Kidding. Thanx god it’s not there.
A little split about supporting Olicity vs. Destiel… I’ll go with Destiel. 🙂 Good luck other shippers and fandoms!
(led here by a tumblr post about Sterek and Destiel neck to neck in the poll with the SPN quote from the devil “No matter what choices you make, whatever details you alter, we will always end up here,” omg)
Bless our show; we have quotes and gifs for almost any situation. xD
Almost? I have yet to find a situation we don’t have a quote/gif for
Haha I may have recently made a post about this to the wtnv fandom. Glad to see it’s paying off. <3 P.S, maybe next time we could limit it to one ship per show/fandom? It's kind of disheartening when all the ships from one specific show are at the top.
I agree with the disheartening sentiment, but I don’t see it necessarily happening here. You have to go down to 6th place to find a repeat fandom. I realize all the Supernatural ships are in the top 7, but half of the fandoms in this poll have a ship above Wincest and Sastiel. As a matter of fact, Supernatural has the only repeat ships in the top 10.
Holy shit, I didn’t even notice ours had all 3 in the top 10! Give yourselves a round of applause Wincest and Sastiel. <3
I considered limiting it to one show per ship, but the amount of wank that would have been generated from that would have been terrible. I figured 3 was a nice number.
-Admin Angel
It’s so cool to see so many different people with different opponents getting along so well together! Not trying to hate each other for their opponents, but just excepting it. That is so hard to find in this time. Even thoughbit is just about shipping, it’s still hard to find.
Anyone else find it interesting that you have to go 8 places down before you find a ship that isn’t m/m? And that Doctor/Rose is the only non m/m in the top 10?
Yep, this is definitely a thing I noticed. And expected. I let it wide open so that it could go in any direction at all and it went down the exact path I saw coming. I guess I know our audience pretty well.
-Admin Angel
This is why one of the writer should put a normal no-big-deal gay relationship as a main pairing for once everyone would love it imo!
That’s essentially Welcome to Night Vale. Not to shamelessly self promote, but I wrote on why WTNV can get away with that and mainstream shows can’t: https://thegeekiary.com/why-welcome-to-night-vale-is-important/4211
-Admin Angel
no kidding..night vale has a boyxboy pairing as the main couple? What even is night vlae
Nooo-! Sterek, we’re starting to lose our ground. Keep fighting guys!
C… Can’t go on any longer! Go on without me, fellow soldier! -sobbing-
*ahem* I’ve gathered you all today, to honor the death of BigBadSeal. He/She was a courageous soldier, they poured every ounce of their life in defending their OTP. They will be greatly missed. *sad music plays as Sterekians carry the coffin out*

can next time the poll have ron and hermione in it?
-proud destiel and sterek shipper.
Unfortunately Harry Potter didn’t meet the qualifications to be on this poll. You can see the requirements in the previous round. You had to have had new canon material since January 2013, which Harry Potter has not.
Voting Sterek. but Good luck to Destiel! <3 Our ships totes should get married. I can see it now, our ships morphing into like one giant cruise ship or something.
That would be a one phenomenal ship. I wish that I could just embrace all of you rn! I love the love that spreads through the shippers, you don’t even know! <3
Desterek?
-Admin Angel
I remember this conversation happening two years back when After Elton ran their poll. At first, tempers were high, but then everyone sort of simultaneously said “But what if we shipped our SHIPS???” If you look up “Desterek” on tumblr you get some fun stuff. 😀
come on sterek we can catch up!
Дестиель и Састиель, Вперед!
Go Destiel!!!!! I love my otp.
So let me qualify this by saying I love Supernatural (I have a Supernatural tattoo!) and Teen Wolf. That being said I find it hard to believe that the votes for “Sterek” and “Destiel” are genuine. That looks like bot voting to me. The numbers are just too high. And since one Teen Wolf pair has already been disqualified for illegal voting it is certainly a possibility.
We’re watching. Right now we can see thousands of hits from both Destiel and Sterek supporting groups. The problem with Stydia is that we got about 40 hits from groups supporting them and they got 11,000 votes in a matter of hours. Thousands of hits per day from groups equaling thousands of votes per ship so far seems roughly accurate. If someone is botting either of them they are doing it so subtly that we aren’t noticing it.
-Admin Angel
I’ve watched both Supernatural AND Teen Wolf, and it was so hard to pick which side to support. In the end, I settled with Destiel because they’re pretty much my OTP these days, though I wouldn’t mind Sterek winning either. ^^
BTW, I love how these polls ALWAYS comes down to both Destiel and Sterek. They’re like the ultimate rivals of the fandom shipping world.
Good luck to all Sterek shippers. It must suck to have such a douche for writer, that he’d take advantage of a pairing to promote his own interests. I feel you, and I wish Sterek will be canon so he can shut up and you can be happy.
Keep kicking ass.
A Destiel shipper.
Oh…did something happen? <:O
Now, I'm not in the TW fandom, but I do remember a couple years ago Sterek fans saying that Derek/Stiles would go canon if the showrunner saw enough interest from the fans. I heard this 2 years in a row….and I didn't want to say anything then, but from an outsider looking in pov, it kinda seemed like they were using shippers to boost ratings/interest in the show. 🙁
I’m relatively new to the fandom, but this is my understanding of what happened: Sterek became such a big phenomenon that the showrunners and cast took notice of it. And Jeff Davis specifically said that he “could be persuaded” to make Sterek canon. Whether that was a joke or not (although I do think it was meant to be more playful than serious) is still unclear. Than they did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKTQPWbxQZk. (Fun fact: Dylan, the guy who plays Stiles, the guy in the white and navy shirt was drunk.) I mean, it speaks for itself, yeah? Vote for us and you’ll get more scenes with Stiles and Derek. Cool. Well, for this half of the season, Stiles and Derek haven’t shared a scene in five episodes. It’s half over and nothing.
Also, Jeff Davis was asked this:”Has the social media universe affected the show in any significant way?”
And said this: “It’s pretty remarkable. It doesn’t really affect us in the writers room at all. We know what they want, but I truly believe that as a writer, you have to please yourself first. What story would surprise us as viewers? I think once you go down the path of trying to please the audience, trying to throw fan service, it gets into dangerous territory. The characters may not act like they should or act like themselves. I’m not sure the audience would absolutely want that. I think they want to be surprised. I don’t think they necessarily want their versions of the characters; I think they want to be surprised and shocked by what’s on screen.”
He went from being receptive to the audience to totally shutting down on them. He has also been pushing Stydia really hard. And, you know, I’m not adverse to Stiles and Lydia scenes (they are two of my favorite characters) and although I’m not interested in the pairing, I think there are ways it can be skillfully, believably done. But this was sloppily written stuff. I half expect JD to lock them in a closet with holes on the sides so people can stick there hands in and make them kiss. Or he’ll have them play spin the bottle alone, in someone’s bedroom, with a pack of condoms on the bed. I’m wicked exaggerating; it’s more along the lines of “oops, I tripped and fell into your manly arms.” It’s bordering a bit on character assassination is what I’m saying. I wouldn’t call him an asshole just yet though. The series isn’t over. I think JD might be getting that the audience is interested in Stiles having a male love interest after the “are you interested in boys” gif got 46000+ notes off of the official Teen Wolf tumblr. Which is about FOUR TIMES what they usually get.
It’s hard not to hold out hope for it, especially when the actors get in on the phone. Holland Roden (who plays Lydia) has even said “Stiles and Derek are endgame.” I’m sure she was joking, but how are we supposed to respond to that? With uncontrolled glee, of course. But then we have our wrists slapped for getting excited over something that’s “never” going to happen. I just. Gah. Frustrating.
I have NEVER EVER EVER thought of advocating for a ship to be canonized. I’ve been in the fandom game for over a decade. And I have no idea what it is about TW that makes me believe it could happen so much. Trust me, it has taken me, as a fan, completely by surprise. I think it’s due to how receptive the cast and writers have been. But I don’t think they realized what opening that door would do. While I love their playfulness and don’t want that to stop, I have noticed that they’re pulling away and find myself shaking my head, thinking, “When you hint at it so much and tease it could happen, you’re surprised people are upset that it hasn’t? Come on, now.”
/end rant
That’s a pretty accurate summary. Don’t forget the phrase “vote or we’ll sink this ship” used when the ship video was released, or how they said they’d release the outtakes if we won the TV Guide Fan Favorites contest. They know Sterek is the driving force of the fandom, and they’ve banked on the shippers to get them publicity. It’s literal queer baiting: they bait us with Sterek snippets to get us to do what we want, then turn around and try to push straight pairings.
gahhh. I honestly don’t believe it’s done maliciously, but that doesn’t mean it’s not awful.
Ah, see, this is where being a newbie gets me. I didn’t know those details. Fills in the picture a bit more. Yeah, I honestly think they’re all nice people but that’s kind of a crappy thing to do. Don’t tease and know it gives your audience hope and then turn around and tell US it’s not what we “really want.” I wonder how long he can pull off banking on the Sterek fandom until we’ve had enough and move on. I’m on the fence of that right now.
what i dont get is…Jeff is actually gay himself..so why would he be so…weird about sterek?
I can’t help but wonder if it’s MTV that’s putting the hold on Sterek, rather than the writers.
Its hard to say Mtv can be..quite..weird with its values and choices and tv..honestly before teen wolf i coulda cared less about that channel..Still if its because of some weird reason on their part..they are only hurting themselves. Afterall having sterek be cannon would only blow up the ratings and bring in more viewers and money.
For the boat video, they were both drunk as far as I know. Not just Dylan.
While I agree that pandering to fans is dangerous *coughGleecough* as you can never satisfy all and how do you decide whom to listen to in the first place? it is also dangerous to do things in spite to teh fandom. and I feel lately that is what Jeff has been doing, even though it can be uncouncious.
They definitely use Sterek fans to get publicity and win polls and stuff and I would be OK with it but if they then turn around and act as though the love for Sterek is new and inexplicable to them then it makes me really angry. I as a fan feel used, then.
I also feel like Jeff may be someone who likes to shock and when the fandom guesses on his plans he changes them just to keep the shock value or somehting. He is also a bit of a hypocrite because he said the twins wer meant to die but they survived the Darach attack because fans liked them. Which I stopped doing the moment they killed Boyd. So they do take outside opinions into account.
and don’t even let me start on teh whole Stiles/Lydia thing. I don’t multiship. they are actually on my list of things that would make me stop watching the show. however I do agree they could be done right. unfortunatly so far it looks more like character assasination from where I’m standing. especially for Lydia. I mean, if you decide to do it, do it good. And it is sad to see because despite of what some fans say the TW writers are able to handle romance well. I’m pretty damn thrilled with the Kira/Scott stuff and how the aftermath of Scott/Allison is handled. you don’t see stuff like that on shows. let alone shows for teens. in a way the Stiles/Lydia stuff feels like baiting as well.
the sad thing is, and I think it can be said about many same sex ships on this poll, like Destiel, that if one Stiles or Derek was a girl they would have been at it like rabbits in season 2 at the latest 🙁
/end rant. I just miss their interactions
Reading this and the replies really just about makes me want to cry.
I was actually a Sterek fan first. I started watching Teen Wolf back in Season 1 but wasn’t really a huge fan. Between Season 1 and 2, I discovered Tumblr and the joys of male/male novels and had my eyes opened to the beauty that is being able to see love everywhere and between anyone regardless of gender. I believe it was during Season 2 of Teen Wolf when that video was made and when Jeff Davis said whatever it was he said about if enough fans liked Sterek he might be persuaded to do it and it was only after that that I started shipping Sterek and became a huge Sterek fan. I actually voted like crazy in the first AfterElton poll for Sterek when it won against Destiel, and also voted like crazy for Teen Wolf in every poll I could. I watched the show religiously every Monday and was so invested in it. Then as time went on the show seemed to move further and further away from anything Sterek related and at the beginning of this past season I actually quit watching the show for a time, unfollowed all the twitters related to the show and just gave up on it. Now I’ll watch Teen Wolf sometimes but not live ever and I don’t follow the fandom anymore or really consider myself a fan or a shipper for Teen Wolf.
Part of my leaving the show/fandom behind was also caused by Supernatural because I started watching this show and during that time and fell even more in love with Destiel than I had been with Sterek (nothing against Sterek though, I will always love them) and became even more passionate about SPN/Destiel than I was about Teen Wolf/Sterek. At first, like with Sterek, it was wonderful. It was a good season of Supernatural (I started watching during the first half of Season 8) and a good time for Destiel shippers. There had been so many instances where actors had given nods to the ship, our incredible and lovable Misha Collins had actually tweeted about the ship himself, the writers were friendly and responsive towards Destiel fans with one writer at one time even joking with fans on Twitter about Destiel being canon already. I had so much hope for the ship and got so much joy from the show and this season has been horrible being a Destiel fan and I’ve barely enjoyed the show anymore and at this point I’m just watching now because I truly adore Misha Collins and will watch anything that has him in it.
Anyways, the point of my loooonnnggg (sorry about that) rambling here- is that your last two paragraphs had me nodding in agreement so much that it gave me whiplash. You were talking about Sterek, but it could absolutely be applied to Destiel and Supernatural exactly the same. So frustrating, but you can’t stop loving the ships and characters and actors and can’t stop having that small nugget of hope inside and it is just definitely frustrating and heartbreaking and reading responses like yours and other people’s and knowing how I feel myself just makes it all the more heartbreaking, but it also makes comment sections like this one where there’s been so much love back and forth between shippers, where we’ve all been supporting our ships, but also able to empathize with each other and be so great to each other…makes small joys like having this place even better.
If there were 4000-5000 fans from any of the top ships here in just one day (as reported by this website) and each gave in 25-100 votes, you can easily reach 200k votes in one day. This poll has been open longer than that, and each ship has fans that don’t just vote a few times but will stay all day voting (thousands of votes). So, I don’t find the top results strange at all. Other polls have ended with over a million votes. What you’re seeing is extreme passion for these ships. If you give fans unlimited voting, you will see these huge numbers. Good luck to both, by the way. 🙂
Yep, this is why I’m not calling bot on either of those ships yet. The votes slowed down just as our traffic slowed down. The number of votes roughly matches the number of linkbacks from sources with various ship name identifiers in the title (destiel, castiel, misha, sterek, derek hale, etc). It’s not exact, but I expect some people are sitting on this page and voting multiple times and aren’t following linkbacks every single time. On day 1-2 it was about 4-5,000 per ship. since then it has been in the 1-2,000 per day range per ship. We are also getting about 6-8,000 visits just from Tumblr dashboards alone and we have no way of telling what ship those ones are going to. So based on these numbers it appears that Sterek and Destiel are getting there in a seemingly legit fashion. If linkbacks dry up and the votes far outpace the hits we’ll reconsider our position.
-Admin Angel
I haven’t followed a linkback since the first time. I actually bookmarked it in my toolbar and then each time I come by, I’ve been voting quite a few times. Basically once an hour since there’s a fandom poll for my fav band that allows only one vote per hour, so I just vote both things at once so I remember to do them. I told a few friends to toolbar bookmark it too. So, yeah, some of us aren’t following linkbacks at all.
You account for the few hundred that it’s off by, then. That’s why I’m not counting it exactly on the dot. I’m giving a little wiggle room for link backs.
-Admin Angel
Yeah, I put it on my favorites bar too and whenever I have time I drop by to vote for my ship as long as time permits. Sometimes its just a few votes, sometimes I have time to vote for a while. Glad I’m not the only one that bookmarks stuff like this. 🙂
I agree. I’m a Sterek shipper and there are multiple reminders every hour in the Sterek tag to vote, and that’s not including the reblogged ones on my dash and the reminders on twitter. I assume Destiel is the same. I come from a tumblr link and stay for a while voting and just refreshing the page. Those numbers for both Sterek and Destiel seem pretty right to me considering how passionate we both are and the size of the fandoms.
CMON STEREK
Can I just be another person to mention how nice and awesome it is, that everyone on this poll is super polite and nice?
Like yea, I feel the love. Also I have a new-found love for the Destiel-Sterek bond!
With that being said, I think it’s a bit sad the smaller ships get drowned, but it is what it is, right?
Lots of love from a Sterek voter
It’s so repetitive already that Destiel and Sterek are the ones in the lead. One can tell that shippers of all the other ships here got bored and went their own ways, while I’m sure people would die for the opportunity to find out which ship is the most supported without these two leads.
Actually, Hypable is running a poll that doesn’t have Destiel and Sterek in it. And the total number of votes for the other ships is very small. Those shippers still aren’t really supporting their ships without the bigger ones there. Destiel and Sterek get a lot of negativity because they’re so big, but it’s like they’re penalized for their passion. Both fandoms are very active, making fic, art, gifs, even just little headcanons. They keep their ships alive and get it to grow because of their passion. A lot of other ships appear to resent that, but can’t be bothered putting any effort in to making their own ship grow.
Do you have a link to this poll?
Also, this doesn’t count as hate so I’m not deleting it, but that last sentence might come off as rude to some of the other ships. I know that Sterek and Destiel get a lot of hate and the initial comment comes off as an attack on them as well, so this is a note to the both of you to keep it positive 🙂
-Admin Angel
Excuse me for jumping in with the link to Hypable’s Battleships 2.0 where winners of the summer poll from each fandom were disqualified from competing in this one.
http://www.hypable.com/site-news/battleships/
I just signal boosted the poll again in my blog and we are almost winning again.
Can I hug all the Destiel shippers?
We are always facing so much shit … and we are always here to support our ship and what we believe in anyway… You’re the best, people.
I’m just so super proud that Johnlock is in third. We get so much shit, just like the destiel shippers. And I know Johnlock won’t be doing any winning. Which in the end is irrelevant. But I’m just super happy to see it that high up. Series 3 was johnlock heaven and just amazingly beautiful. While we may not be big voters when it comes to stuff like this…our ship rings true. So much love.
love all around!!!
good luck destiel and sterek <333
Gonna chime in and say I’m also very happy to see Johnlock in 3rd. Season 3 was the best season so far and even though I ship Sherlock/Molly, this season actually /really/ made me wonder if Sherlock was maybe in love with John. It really had me wondering! Not to mention it made me like Sherlock more…ugh, 5 stars for season 3. <333
I watch both shows and they are both my otp but I’m voting Sterek. Destiel is great but I’m tired of the queerbaiting the writers are doing and the almosts and nearlys each scene they have together has. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it’s never going to be canon. Sterek, however, totally has a possibility now.
They’ve practically canonized Stiles being bi, and with Derek’s nicer ball of sass personality going on, they actually have a chance of liking each other now. The writers are seeing what the fans want and acting accordingly. Whereas the writers of SPN are dicking around and feel the need to show us how straight Dean is with every new episode.
I love both ships. But I think since Sterek has more of a chance, I’m voting for it. Besides, Derek totally needs more love, am I right? But good luck to both ships! This is merely a pole and I am taking it waaaay too seriously haha
This made me feel a little defensive, haha. But no harm done. :3
The first half of s9 may have been wobbly, but I feel the second half is more than making up for it, what with the tearing down of Dean and Sam’s unhealthy bond, Cas missing the little things of being human- knowing what regret feels like, etc. and the crazy amount of subtext last episode of Dean’s closeted bisexuality…the promo for the next 3 episodes also seemed to be hinting towards it! *Not sure if you’ve seen it going around on tumblr* As much as I’m taking everything with a grain of salt and side eyeing the hell out of it…I have faith Dean/Cas still have a shot. :’)
Sorry, I don’t mean to go on a mini tangent..orz
Sterek does the same thing go above and read Jenn’s post.. it’s all queerbaiting honestly. The ships fandom is so large and helps them in so many ways that they don’t want to come out and say nah this won’t happen because then that part of the fandom dies/they lose it. It’s pretty messed up honestly that writers and whatnot do this to their own fans just to gain benefit.
Voting Dorian/John. I awfully hope that producers somehow will see the results of the poll and will decide: Oh, people love these guys! We need to continue the show!
*cough* Feel free to pass it along to the show runners 😉 *cough*
-Admin Angel
I have been voting for them and destiel the whole time…..I want almost human to keep going….*cries*
Sastiel *-*
I’m totally into that ship <3
Any other Sastiel-Fans?
Here. 🙂 I’ve been shipping it for a while now even though Wincest is my OTP, and after the episode First Born my Sastiel feels definitely intensified.
Not a shipper, but episode 11 left me a gooey puddle. Cas and Sam’s interactions and talks were really cute. Q3Q
Hi! Fellow Sastiel shipper here. It’s definitely my favorite M/M ship on the show. ^^ (And a very close second overall to SamXMeg.) It’s great to meet you! I have to say, I’m so pleasantly surprised at how well we’re doing. ^^
So surprised Johnlock isn’t currently winning. Not I am a fan but this ship is bloody Titanic – where are you, shippers? 😉
we’re in our fandom still freaking out over how gay series 3 was, and writing meta and theories. no time for voting lol!!!
Nah I’m just happy to see it ranked so high. Makes me proud as a johnlock shipper, and proud to be part of one of the greatest love stories ever. Damn…I gave myself feels…back to the fandom!!!
Good question. But I don’t think Johnlock has ever won one of these kind of polls anyway. It’s always Destiel or Sterek. Johnlock did give it a good try in the huge Backlot slash poll, but that one came down to Destiel and Sterek as well. It’s hard to beat those two ships. Johnlock and Merthur usually come in 3rd and 4th. I think that’s the 4 strongest ships with Sterek and Destiel together at the top.
Go destiel!!!!!! I been telling everyone to go vote for them.
Same here! Been helping rally our forces in a couple posts and tweets! 😀
I’m totally a destiel and sterek shipper… But I’m surprised merthur isn’t here 🙁
Unfortunately it missed the time limit of the poll by about a month. You had to have new content since January 2013 and it ended December 2012. I almost changed the parameters by a month to include it but, like, wow, bias on my part if I did that. To keep things fair I kept it as is even though I wanted to include it.
-Admin Angel
Man, I forgot how exhausting these polls can be. Sterek shippers, this Destiel fan salutes you! You are truly a mighty and honorable foe.
*votes for sterek*
the destiels will never have that now..
Oh no you didn’t. xDDD
It always comes down to Sterek and Destiel *sighs happily*. I love the amical rivalry and how each treats the other. I swear, if both pairs were characters I would ship them together so hard XD
http://daunt.tumblr.com/post/58271757697/daunt-deandraws-i-shouldnt-be-doing-this
You are not alone.
http://simsem7.tumblr.com/post/43482500720 Some more cute Sterek/Destiel stuff 🙂
Hahahaha! Love it!
Who’s here because of this awesome Sterek voting post on their dash? http://torakodragon.tumblr.com/post/76157426364/torakodragon-did-you-guys-know-about-this-poll I love this fandom. Such great work catching up guys 🙂
Are Sterek fans voting fairly? I don’t want us to get disqualified like Stydia did D: I’m so happy they are winning, honestly, it’s just surprising me bc Destiel is such a big ship! I’m so proud of Sterek for getting ahead! I really hope we get this x
Well this post is all over my dash at the moment http://torakodragon.tumblr.com/post/76157426364/torakodragon-did-you-guys-know-about-this-poll So I think this is where the boost is coming in. Plus Sterek and Destiel are usually competitive. Sterek shippers are just as numerous and passionate as Destiel shippers. No doubt Destiel shippers will descend down and even things up. We’ve got to make sure to keep voting! 🙂
Yes, that post and also the possibility that it’s Derek holding Stiles’ bat in the preview photo for the next ep has gotten Sterek fandom excited after such a long, interminable dry-spell of no Sterek scenes or Sterek just missing each other. It’s been so long!!
I’m not trying to start an argument or anything. it’s just I am very upset that Destiel is losing, I’ve only seen the pilot of Teen Wolf so I can’t say anything about Sterek, but this really sucks
Don’t be upset. We’ve done well, but this is the time of day Destiel really starts to get a lot of votes again. I’m sure you’ll be in the lead soon and then we’ll have to catch up again. It’s the way it goes when we’re in a poll together 😉
Your ship is #2 in a poll that has around 30 ships. That’s not exactly losing.
Стерек, впереееед!!! 🙂
*support just by one Sterek fan in Kazakhstan 😉
ok. who ships StEVE CARLSBURRRGGg and Cecil? doesn’t Cecil hate sTEVE or did I miss something in the new episodes I haven’t listened to yet? I’m not hating. I’m just curious
Jeez, Destiel and Sterek are like a bickering couple. They’re just switching back and forth. (“No, I don’t want to be in first. You take it!” “No! You deserve it more, here!”)
So cute! 😀 Somebody should draw a comic.
Heyhey, destiel. x3
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mald79GUaA1qdh5b6o1_500.gif
DESTIEL FTW
Sterek FTW 🙂 But I’m also hoping for some new Sterek AND Destiel scenes in upcoming episodes. It feels like ages that we’ve had any. Both shows seem determined to not have our couples in the same place. I have needs.
I don’t watch either of these shows anymore xD But yeah, DESTIEL FOR THE WIN.
Hah, so it isn’t just me? I mean I don’t know about Sterek – not so much of a fan – but damn, the scenes in which Dean and Cas interact with each other just seem so few and far between in the latest episodes 🙁
Where did the eyefu- … uhm staring go?? x)
before misha went on break for a while it was more one sided i found it cool how they showed misha’s character development…………..cas could have easily smited him but when dean touched his arm the fight just drained out of him
Can I just say how nice it is that for the most part everyone seems to be getting along here? <3 Just saying. Anyway! Carry on! <3 I love Destiel and Sterek, but I gotta give it to my angel and hunter this time. :DD Destiel FTW~!
WE WILL WIN THIS
hella
I love destiel but I love STEREK more 😀
destiel, sastiel, johnlock _(:3rz
I was waiting for either STEREK or Destiel to be accused of using bots. Quite simply it is SO easy for a disgruntled ship to use bots on another to discredit them and get them thrown out of the competition. I have been watching voting since the start and the constant changing and vying for the lead and I believe as Angel that at the moment voting is fair. The admin is doing a great job. FYI there was a post on LJ last night making people aware of this poll and asking for support for STEREK. I’m not suggesting it made a great deal of difference to votes but STEREK fans are working their socks off and so are Destiel. If either is disqualified because of suspected bot voting unless it can be proven to come from that ship’s membership it makes a mockery of this poll and winning means absolutely nothing..
I ship and support STEREK in the absence of my first love SPANDER (BTVS) I have voted for STEREK multiple times and I want to see them win but do it fair and square. Good luck to everyone.
DESTIEL FTW!!
Go Destiel!! Destiel shippers! KEEP ON WORKING! DON’T STOP VOTING!! WE CAN MAKE IT!!!
We won the 99% of the polls last year, we need to start 2014 in the same way!! 🙂
Don’t forget to remind them later! This last week is important!
Sure!!!!
I will send you a message on twitter, hope you receive it 😀
come on Sterek fans keep up the good work. We need this victory after all thats happened this season and last.
STEREK FTW. Keep it going shippers! <3
Yeah! There’s definitely no time to rest when we’re going up against Destiel. They love their ship as much as we love ours so the voting never stops 😉 Just saw a cute ‘vote for Sterek’ post on my dash, so I hope that brings a few Sterek shippers here. We need a lead because Destiel are certainly going to pull ahead today when Teen Wolf airs. We’ve just got to vote hard now.
Why will Destiel pull ahead when Teen Wolf airs? Surely it will prompt STEREK fans to vote?
I think they mean, as the show is airing people voting for Sterek will be busy watching the episode.
Destiel will have the same problem tomorrow.
We’re on hiatus until the 24th because of the Winter Olympics.
Ahhh that’s true, I forget I’m in the UK, I see it tomorrow,
DESTIEL YES
Destiel forever <3 Would have been awesome if Kum (Kurt/Sam) could have made it on the list
Sterek! Cecilos! Jorian! Mako/Raleigh! All good. But my OTP isn’t here :< Why no femslash esp Allydia? :<
I’m an eejit, I found them <3
Ships were voted in by users. It appears we have mostly slash voting users.
-Admin Angel
STEREK!!
Sterek forever! <3<3<3
Keep it up awesome Sterek fans 🙂
Only Destiel!!!
Shout out to the Almost Human shippers and fandom!! You are blowing my mind with the fact you are hanging in the top 10 with well established fandoms when your show hasn’t even had a full season yet!! I am proud of you and excited for you too!! \o/
OMG Destielllllll <3
STEREK FTW!!! <3
Come ON guys, it's MOONDAY!
STEREK all the wayyyyyyy
Why it’s so hard?! I love Destiel as much as Sterek!
WINCEST FTW!!! <3
Oh my my…isn’t it hilarious it always comes down to Sterek & Destiel?! I’m more of a TW fan (& Arrow) but regardless a shout out to the other team is well deserved after all these efforts with polls on line etc since ages I know well, so fingers crossed that it pays off in the end. ^_^ BTW greetings to all the other shows’ shippers around,keep the hope up guys <3
DESTIEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3333333333
Also love Oliver/Felicity and Amy/Rory <3
I love how all the first few ships are guy/guy…not that it's shocking…but still makes me feel like I'm among the right kinds of people 😀
Wish they had Doctor/River instead of Doctor/Rose…that's my only complaint *sigh*
DESTIEL AND JOHNLOCK AND DOCTOR+ROSE AND AMY+RORY <3333333333333333333333333333333333
On the picture, who are the characters on the top right. I know who everyone else is.
It’s John Kennex and Dorian from the show Almost Human 🙂
Come on destiel! We can do it Supernatural fandom!
Keep it up guys! ^o^
People, why are we so worked up over Sterek and Destiel when Cecil and Carlos are so far behind? Are we forgetting the ship that can’t actually be made weirder by fan fiction? The perfect ship? Come on, folks.
I think you’re forgetting the tentacles and third eye.
LETS GO STEREK!!! though I love Sterek I really wish Stydia(Stiles/Lydia) was on the list… Anyone else agree?
The were but were disqualified due to bots.
yo, it’d be nice to have a smaller ship win something like this. sastiel anyone?
Yeah, sterek and destiel should give it a break. I`d like to see a smallr ship from a smaller fandom win. :3
Am I the only one shipping Sterek/Destiel?
I think that the winner of the poll should buy the loser dinner for our Valentine’s Day date. 😉
I ship it! XD
GUYS STEREK HAS TAKEN THE LEAD. NOO. DESTIEL SHIPPERS WE HAVE TO TAKE THE LEAD AGAIN.
But guys, I watch Teen Wolf and I can not understand FOR MY LIFE why people ship Sterek. I don’t really see Sterek as thing.. >_<
But I will respect it as a ship. Because I know that you should never insult anyone's OTP no matter what ship it is.
I don’t think you understand what the word ‘insult’ is. That’s all this comment was. The last sentence doesn’t balance out the passive-aggressive insult. Try and keep it classy.
+1
What’s with all the negative comments appearing whenever Destiel isn’t in the lead? We are a huge ship. We can close leads easily if we stay strong. And positive. I’m tired of a petty few in my fandom making us all look bad if the vote isn’t going our way for a small amount of time. We did a fantastic job catching up and Sterek shippers are working just as hard as us, and surely are passionate about their ship as we are. If this comment was about Destiel, I would’ve gotten as defensive as hell and been much less polite in my reply than those other shippers were. Stop making us look petty. Destiel shippers are better than that.
honestly its comments like that ..makes me a little iffy about destial shippers..us a sterek fan I dont always get desital shippers but you dont see me bad mouthing them on here.
You don’t have to feel like that. I’m sure that just like with Sterek there is a small group of Destiel people that do things that the majority don’t approve of. It’s inevitable with groups so large. I know heaps of Destiel shippers and they are nothing but nice. Let’s not generalize for the whole group of Destiel shippers because of just one comment. I’d hate it if they did the same to us. (There are plenty of things I’ve seen Sterek shippers say that make me cringe and I have no idea where they’re coming from). Vote Sterek! We’re gonna need a lead because there isn’t going to be a lot of us voting during the episode tonight and during the aftermath afterwards. We can do it!
I try not to..I have friends who ship destial..fortunently though on the voting side i wont be able to watch todays episode till after midnight due to wrestling so i will be voting durring wrestling and up untill i can watch .
Cool! I’m going to try and vote as much as I can during the ep, and I’m recording RAW and probably voting as I watch that too 🙂
AH A fellow Sterek shipper who knows the struggle of wrestling or teen wolf on monday nights. I just find it easier to watch it on my computer later and watch Wrestling while its on. My family hogs it anyway to watch wrestling lol
I know that pain 😉 I find I have to stay only on my tumblr dash as I watch Teen Wolf because twitter and pretty much everywhere else is full of WWE spoilers. Especially now with all the WWE drama. I just have to make sure not to get too distracted and vote 😉 And hope that there’s something a little Sterek-y in the ep tonight.
gosh i hope so too. Im watching wrestling and voting right now. so much drama..im going to be dramad out after tonight between raw and teen wolf
Please don’t do this. Had I caught this comment before tons of people replied to it I’d have deleted it. It has a lot of comments now though I’ll leave it up as an example. This poll is about love. If you can’t love your ship without putting down another please just don’t post anything at all.
-Admin Angel
I appreciate your last two sentences there, but please next time ask yourself if you read this comment and it was someone saying, “I watch Supernatural and I can not understand FOR MY LIFE why people ship Destiel. I don’t really see Destiel as a thing.. >_<" and please think how that would make you feel as a Destiel shipper. You may not have meant for it to sound like that and I'm sure that you didn't mean to insult anyone, but the comment does come off as very rude, and we Destiel and Sterek shippers have always had such a good camaraderie with each other and these comments have been so awesome that I hate to see one comment, especially if it was meant to be innocent, derail any of that. 🙂
I think that Sterek shippers see many of the same qualities in their ship as can be seen in Destiel… two amazing characters that have amazing chemistry and have the potential to have an incredible love story….and also that have very intense eye sex with each other already. 😉 And that's just a very simplistic view of either ship there without going in depth about the things that have happened in either show.
I’m honestly so proud of the Sterek fandom for fighting so valiantly for the 1st place when going up against such a huge and well established fandom as Supernatural is when the TW fandom is so young!
Sterek, I believe in you and good luck Destiel, a worthy adversary 🙂

Destiel shipper here. ^_^
Isn’t there a show called Shipping Wars or something?
They have no idea what a shipping war really is.
There is! I’ve watched a bit of it before and..it’s got nothing on internet shipping wars….NOTHING.
This is my favorite comment so far. Thank you for that laugh.
(Sterek Fan)
Sterek shipper here 🙂
When Destiel and Sterek meet it always feels more like a Shipping Tug-of-War. Constant lead changes until either one ship falls from exhaustion or the other goes hard for a burst of voting and gets an unbeatable lead.
It’s both tiring and fun.
^This exactly. Any time Destiel & Sterek are in a poll, that’s exactly what it feels like. xD
I love everyone in this bar! seriously Sterek all the way, but everyone has been awesome, Sterek, Destiel and every other couple!
To the Sterek shippers who are holding down the fort here while the new episode is on… I salute you!
Yeah us Destiel shippers… We let us fall behind then we just all come and catch up again instead of spamming the whole time.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkuaS1zJceM But yeah that video I just posted.. I am rallying the troops of Destiel..
Ok, now that the Eastern/Central times have finished being traumatized by Teen Wolf, back to voting!
DESTIEL FOR THE WIN
cant watch teen wolf till later. Im going to see if i can get some role plays going and vote more till i can

I am voting for my OTP Destiel but I’m also voting for Sastiel (that hug was cute), JohnLock , Doctor/Rose and Finn/Rachel. But Good Luck to all ships! 🙂
Cool! I’m voting for my OTP Sterek, but I also vote for Olicity and Doctor/Rose. I agree with you that the Sam/Castiel hug was cute. All of their scenes were great in that episode, like the guinea pig 🙂 Good luck! (Not too much luck considering we’re trying to beat you 😉 and you’re making it very difficult to take a moment’s rest 😉 )

Absolutely no hate intended here, but how does the Doctor/Tardis ship work? I haven’t watched much Doctor Who and I was under the impression that the Tardis was a machine that doesnt even talk or anything… Can someone explain?
There is a meme in Doctor Who fandom of how the Doctor’s main love is the Tardis. But I’m assuming the ship might come from the episode that Neil Gaiman wrote called ‘The Doctor’s Wife’ where the Tardis actually became a woman. But if you’ve ever seen an episode of Doctor Who, he does like to caress it a lot even when it’s not a person 😉
Gotcha. xD Thanks!
What sadist made this thing last so many days? I mean, there’s still four days left and I’m half exhausted already. Seriously. This is just cruel.
Um that’d be me lol. It’s a valentine poll and most of our polls last about two weeks so I started it at the beginning of the month. Most of our polls aren’t quite so intense. I’m sorry.
-Admin Angel
Oh well dang. You seem really nice so I can’t be mad at you.
STEREK! SCISAAC!
Teen Wolf fans, vote for both Sterek and Scisaac, maybe then Jeff will give us some Sterek themed episodes!
STEREK & SCISAAC
YES!!! I SECOND THAT!!! STEREK!!!!!!!!
have to be honest. I am voting daily 😀
my top 5 = (1) STEREK <3 (2) DESTIEL. (3) JOHNLOCK. (4) FELICITY & OLIVER. (5) DOCTOR & ROSE.
ничего особенного, просто коммент на русском
в России любят матрешек на балалайках и винцест
За кого Вы голосуете за?
*prays google translate didn’t screw anything up*
Еще один коммент на русском: в России ненавидят инцест и любят Динокас.
Only STEREK!!!
FYEAH!!!
Destiel!
I swear that every time we participate in these polls it feels like exam time, the intense feeling I get never goes away until the final result no matter how bad or good it is.
I might be viewed as insane by others, ‘there’s nothing there’ ‘they’re not gay!’ ‘he’s like a brother you’re sick’ but I believe in my ship and I will always stand by them. I’ve only ever had one other ship as strong as I feel for Destiel and that was Janto from Torchwood, these ships are the only ones I’ve felt that strong connection, like this is meant to be, it’s too obvious, staring us in the face to not be growing.
It’s such a beautiful thing, looking back at how the profound bond first began, looking at where we are now. Through all the hurt, the pain and the loss, they will always find their way back to each other. All these years, and we’re still going strong, and I think it’s such a powerful relationship, it’s not a one minute wonder, it’s something that has to develop bit by bit, not rushed, that kiss, or declaration isn’t going to come yet because that isn’t what our boys would do, Dean doesn’t openly use the love word, but that doesn’t mean they don’t.
I believe in my boys, no matter what the result of this poll, over the years my feelings for this ship have become so much stronger, that now it’s impossible for me to go back, impossible to not feel my heart tug and be filled with butterflies when they’re on screen together or when Misha or one of the other actors or script writers mentions their connection.
;D
*Swoons*
“I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition”
“I’m hunted. I rebelled and I did it — all of it — for you”
“My superiors begun to question my sympathies. I was getting too close to the humans of my charge—you.”
“We’ve been through much together, you and I, and I just wanted to say, I’m sorry it ended like this.”
“I’m doing this for you dean, I’m doing this because of you”
“I gave everything for you, and this is what you give to me?”
“Dean and I do share a more profound bond. I wasn’t going to mention it.”
“I’ll find a way to redeem myself to you,”
“Stand behind me, the one time I ask”
“Dean, I do everything that you ask. I always come when you call. And I am your friend. Still, despite your lack of faith in me and now your threats, I just saved you yet again. Has anyone other than your closest kin ever done more for you? All I ask is this one thing.”
“I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, but do I detect a note of forgiveness?”
“These are not just monsters, Dean, they’re Leviathan. I have a price on my head and I’ve been trying to stay one step ahead of them to—to keep them away from you. That’s why I ran.”

“Sorry, but I’d rather have you, cursed or not”
“Cas, I know you’re in there. I know you can hear me. Cas, it’s me. We’re family. We need you. *I need you*.”
“Don’t make me loose you too”
“Cas, buddy, I need you.”
” I prayed to you, Cas, every night!” < from a man who believed praying was the equivalent to begging.
"Let me bottom line it for you, I’m not leaving here without you, understand?"
"Where the hell are you, man?"
"I used to be able to shake this stuff off…what Cas did, I just can’t, I don’t know why."
—
"Castiel? Oh he's, he's not here. You see he has this weakness, he likes you." ~Uriel
"Sorry, you have me confused with the other angel. You know, the one in the dirty trench coat who's in love with you." ~Balthazar
"Ask him, he was your boyfriend first!" ~Meg
"You’re hoping Castiel will return to you. I admire your loyalty. I only wish that he felt the same way." ~ Naomi
—
"Castiel: I don't sleep.
Dean: Well, I need my four hours, so…
Castiel: I'll watch over you."
—
"Castiel: it sounds so simple when you say it like that. Where were you when I needed to hear it?
Dean: I was there. Where were you?"
—
"Cas: Dean, I’m sorry.
Dean: For what?
Cas: For everything."
Now if they can only man up and admit that they are head over heels, and resolve all that ST, Id be very happy…
If only. Those assbutts are so stuborn. >_<
Vote Sterek 2014!
STEREK ! STEREK!
Fight ! Win!
But also I love Destiel…… so there’s that.
Only Destiel. Forever. Sorry, Sterek.

I have so many feels
OMG. I had only seen the first one before but not the Cain/Dean parallel one! *flails* This flippin show sometimes, I swear. Q___Q
Torn between Sterek and Destiel ._.
Destiel, Sheriarty and K/S
Oh, this is so amazing 😛 I’m glad My OTP is leading and some of my other favorites are on the top ten…
I’m a bit sad about Stydia, and that I didnt even get a chance to vote ;( still, Thank you Miss Angel for doing your best to keep the poll clean, from what I read it was very hard on you… so hats off for your effort (hugs)
GO DESTIEL

SOME VIDEOS FOR INSPIRATION!
RUSSIA LOVES DESTIEL
Россия тоже любит Дестиэль. <3
These videos are great and please feel free to continue, but I just want people to know that if there are 2 or more links in a post it gets caught in our spam filters. I will gladly approve them, but if it takes a few hours I am either sleeping, working at my day job, or, like socializing with the outside world (it happens sometimes). So I apologize if anybody gets delayed! I try to approve as soon as I can.

Destiel!
I love both Sterek and Destiel so much and it’s gave me chest pains to choose between the two!
I couldn’t just vote for both cause honestly that would lead us nowhere so I decided to go for Sterek, cause it seems like there are much fewer of us around and I think Sterek should deserve to win after losing to Destiel in one of the previous polls I voted for.
Also, with how the leading ship keeps fluctuating between the two so frequently, I’m thinking that when the poll closes, the winning ship could have easily been beaten if the poll was closed say, later in the day. The time zones matter so much here and I don’t think it’s very fair but oh well.
STEREK all the way!
Scisaac
Destiel
Johnlock
Wincest
Sastiel
Voting for destiel, b/c they do share a more profound bond.
We weren’t gonna mention it. *lolol*
I have to go sleep for work but good luck guys,<3
ROFOUND BOND FOREVER!!
With all due respect Destiel Fan, Dan and Cas are ok. However, I feel Derek and Stiles have more chemistry, are funnier and are way hotter.Surely i wish you guys a good luck, but i feel we deserve to win.
Vote for Derek and Stiles.
Thank you
*Dean* Please don’t tell me these kinds of comments are gonna become a thing now… first yesterday and now today. :c
Agreed. Destiel is amazeballs too, but I dunno, there’s something about Sterek isn’t there?
There’s something about Destiel too…personal preference?
personal preference. xD
You weren’t super rude about this, but… I think it’s better when the comments here about about solidarity, rather than trying to be divisive. Ya dig? Saying things like “your OTP is okay but mine’s better” can be hurtful.
Personally, I ship both Destiel and Sterek. I confess, I’m voting for Sterek because deep down there’s still a little part of me that feels like it has a chance of being canon, but Destiel is my second favorite pairing of all time. Season five, man, season five.
Don’t be a troll. There was no ‘due respect’ in your comment. Sterek fandom is better than that. All fandoms have to put up with that small minority of shippers that have nothing positive to add to anything and can’t ship a pairing without putting other pairings down.
Good luck Destiel shippers, you guys are keeping it close!
Vote, vote, vote Sterek shippers!
I adore how when there’s a comment here that is even remotely rude before our amazing admin can even get to it, there are several shippers from the original commenters’ own ship asking them to please not.
Love all you guys!
Thanks for the luck…we Destiel shippers are definitely going to need it with you guys! Y’all rock! Whoever wins this poll will definitely have earned their victory!
Dear Destiel Fan, (Dean and Cas)
I apologise, i sincerely wasn’t aiming to dis you. But i guess my text came across so rude and i am sorry. I love ( more like obsessed) with my guys (Derek and Stiles). So I guess i got carried away and forgot my manners.
i truly wish you guys a good luck.
Keep Voting, voting, voting,for Derek and Stiles.
Thank you
Please don’t do this. Please support your ship and don’t put others down.
-Admin Angel
I love Johnlock, but Destiel is my OTP to end all OTPs!
…But I must say, no Mystrade?! D: That’s just mean.
Destiel!
Raleigh and Mako come on.
Shout out to the Sherlolly ship! Voting for you too. q.q <3
STEREK FTW!
I actually ship destiel more but with sterek becoming more and more likely if it wins the shipping poll it could become canon!!! VOTE FOR STEREK!
Okay, Destiel is and always will be my OTP. Sabriel is a close second. But DAAANNNGGG SON! Sterek is scary, am I right SPNFamily? They have had 3ish seasons and they are neck to neck with us. But everyone voting here is okay with pairing characters together. I feel like all the pairings would have so many more votes if all the fans voted….. OH SOLUTION! Convert as many fans from your fandom as possible!! MEHAAHAHHHAHAH. :3 I love everyone here. I feel so much better after being online and seeings things like these. Is that odd? I don’t think so. Yay tumblr.
DESTIEL! I’M COUNTING ON YOU!!!
STEREK (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
DESTIEL. No other pairing is as beautiful. Though this comment really is more to comment on the Oliver/Dinah pairing for Arrow. DInah was Oliver’s love interest in the comics…In Arrow she goes by Laurel. Dinah is Laurel’s middle name but only her mother goes by it. So that ship really is more Oliver/ Blah love Interest’s mom.
Wincest ftw uwu
So excited to see my top ships doing so well! Johnlock, Destiel, Sterek, Cecilos, Rose/10 and Shassie! Especially Cecilos, because WTNV is definitely not as well known as the other fandoms on here!
So… There’s a Doctor/Tardis option, but where’s the Dean/Impala option? Probably the only ship the Supernatural fandom can actually agree on.
It wasn’t voted in or even suggested in round 1.
-Admin Angel
Vote for Destiel – amazing OTP!
Destiel <3
Sterek FTW!!!! 😀
YAY WINCEST! Made it into third! We are awesome guys let’s keep it up!
I’m still voting for Sterek like crazy, cause duh, but I’m so happy to see Dean/Sam in the 3rd! I kinda had to stop watching the show regularly, but those two will always be important ah 🙂 And two Sherlock ships after that wow 🙂 Sherlock/Moriarty’s scenes in new season gave me all kind of feelings each haha.
Team Dastiel all the way but also Finn/Rachel Sam/Dean Winchester I mean like really the broke all the rules made deals with the devil and demons die several times all just to save each other
Blane and Kurt
sterek!
Ugh!!! Sterek!!! I always hold out hope and in the end we always lose to Destiel!!!
its not over till friday we have time. Sterek has won polls with worse odds.
Wincest is doing so good.
I am proud of my fellow shippers :3
Sam and Dean, SOULMATES.
Ultimate supernatural pairing~ Taboo or not
Keep fighting bbs-
And you go Sastiel! You’re hanging with the bigboys.
You’ll be gunning for Destiel in the polls before no time ;3
<3
I'm really happy to see Wincest in the top 5 🙂
I know! I’m so happy so see both Wincest and Sastiel do so good! <3
Well i know that I’m voting for all the Supernatural ships when i vote for Dean & Cas. You have to support the whole show, sum of its parts and all. There is enough love in the fandom for all ships, and what better way to do that then to have the top three SPN ships in the top five.
“Well i know that I’m voting for all the Supernatural ships when i vote for Dean & Cas.” Can you expand a little bit? Because I’m sure you ain’t supporting Sastiel or Wincest by only voting for Destiel. This is not how support works. But maybe I misuderstood you.
Sorry… my flu addled brain didn’t type that right. I’m clicking all three ships every time i vote.
Go Destiel, GO!!
Yayyyyy!!
You know what I would have voted for? Gabriel/Sam. Why is that not a thing?
Meanwhile: GO DESTIEL!!
Because it’s only the top 3 ships of fandom. Sabriel isn’t nearly as big as Wincest or Sastiel.
I thought sabriel was more popular than sastiel… Oh well GO DESTIEL.
See, me too. Little did we know, I guess…
I think sabriel shippers lost a lot of enthusiasm when Gabriel died.
HE WILL LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS. GAY LOVE CAN PIERCE THROUGH THE VEIL OF DEATH MY FRIENDS.
I think Sabriel is more popular with Destiel shippers than with others in the Supernatural fandom. I’ve often seen it as a secondry pairing in Destiel ships, and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a Sabriel shipper who didn’t also ship Destiel. But if you don’t ship Destiel, I don’ think very likely to run into the Sabriel pairing. This is the impression I’ve gotten as a Wincest and Sastiel shipper who has friends in the Destiel fandom, please correct me if I’m wrong.
I would’ve voted for it too. But since I can’t GO, DESTIEL, GO! VOTE, SHIPPERS, VOTE, VOTE LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!
Yay Sterek ! OTP in the lead!
Same!
Go Sterek!
We need this after everything that went down on Monday night!!
What went down on Monday night? :O
so many things..its best to just watch…it…holy jesus mary joespeh..it was intense
Intense is not the word! I love how much Sterek there was even though they weren’t in the same room at any point and how much Derek clearly a) knows about Stiles and b) cares about him. These boys are so adorable :3
I know he actually defended him and tried to say it wasn’t stiles..when in the past he is known to actually kill first ask questions later….so much sterek
I like the doctor and rose…
Sterek, only Sterek <3
Go Sterek! And good luck to destiel (who I also ship!) and all the other ships!
Good job, everyone! Loving the new ships making headway on there, like Pacific Rim, Nightvale and Almost Human.
And, of course, Go STEREK. We need this for our poor baby Stiles, and what Jeff Davis DID to us this week.
Poor Stiles! He and Derek totally deserve to win this after Monday’s episode! I love how much Derek cares for Stiles now :3
Just hope Stiles gets a chance to reciprocate at some point!
Hi guys, I’m a Destiel shipper, but I’m becoming curious about Sterek too…Someone here wants to explain me how is it?Tnx!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfysED6jKHw
Great video that shows how Sterek has progressed over the seasons.
Some happy moments from our little cute teen show this season that show what’s up with Stiles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnB6ZrYcsN0
Hope that helps.
Just wanted to let you know that when there’s more than one link in the comments it gets caught in our spam filter. You are more than welcome to post links and rally your troops so please continue, but I’m not at my computer all the time so if there’s a delay I apologize! I approve them as quickly as I see them. 🙂
-Admin Angel
Hm…I’m planning to watch the serie (because of Sterek…just as became addicted to supernatural because of Destiel…ships do so much for tv series 😉 ) I can’t watch your video, but tnx! ;(
Destiel go! =)
actually Stiles in the sterek pairing Is bisexual. The creator Jeff even said so.
just voted for wincest, the ultimate supernatural pairing
Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum Wincest, I was not expecting you to knock Johnlock out of 3rd. You go guys! Now I’m just waiting for Sastiel to raise up in the ranks. 😀
aaaadnjsnjejfhaAa
the suspence is killing meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
//whispers destiel shipper btw
Go Sterek and Destiel! My babies <3
Go, Destiel, go! We must win!
I BELIEVE IN DESTIEL. I will go down with this ship!
its killing me how far but so close we are to catching up to sterek! we were in the lead for a couple minutes
awww so sad to see johnlock down to 4th. but thats okay. series 3 speaks for itself ^___~
We are falling behind so fellow Destiel Shippers: Vote! Vote! Vote!
I’m currently trapped in an ice storm. *cracks knuckles* All the time in the world.
Holy hot hell, my Sterek-ers. How did we make that big of a gap???
I have nothing to do and its too cold to leave. I have been voting all night and all morning. WHoot Sterek!
CUZ WE ROCK!!
Voting for Sterek and wincest!
Why the heck is there Sastiel but NOT Sabriel?! Damnit! D:
Because it wasn’t voted in during round 1. Also your other comment was deleted as it was disparaging other ships. We don’t allow negativity in our comments. Support your ship, but don’t put others down in the process. Thank you.
-Admin Angel
Wincest is actually beating johnlock! Way to go guys, I’m proud of us (and sastiel too!)
And to think, I started watching Teen Wolf ironically. #sterek
i want cecilos to win but i also want destiel to win
Go Destiel! <3 We can still do it! Dean doesn't give up on Cas so we can't give up on them. =) And nothing will ever take away that love, no matter what the show tries to do, because we will always love and support our babies! 😀
You said it, I will keep voting for my boys! <3333
Same! We have the numbers, the only thing now is to figure out how to rally them. But I’ll be here, voting until the end. <3 Because Destiel means more to me than my homework does. *gets shot*
Lol homework? What homework? Not on voting days! xD
Voting basically is my homework now. ;D
I will take no responsibility for you failing classes. Now i feel responsible for your potential bad grades. lol 😛
-Admin Angel
I can’t help it, I’m addicted to polls, lol. No worries, I’m sure I’d find another way to procrastinate even without this poll. 😀
Awww, I’m so proud of the Wincest shippers! 3rd place! And Sastiel, keep going!
worked 8 hours straight no break but damn if I am stopping now XD I am gonna vote my assbutt off
DESTIEL <3 PROFOUND BOND ^-^
Poll after poll it’s always a death match between DESTIEL & STEREK. Can’t we just acknowledge that they rule the internet and make them a Foursome already?! If not, they will just alternate the #1 and #2 spots every time!
:3 ah wells, win or lose we’ve done great, i’m proud of Destiel. I don’t think any ship is better for winning, we’re all equal we all have love in common.
I can’t wait till the poll is over, 🙁 makes me feel rubbish. I dunno all the negativity and winning ships thinking they’re the best makes me feel like my ship means nothing in the bigger picture, why even bother.
So basically you think yours is the best?
Come on.
The ship that deserves to win is the ship with the most votes. That’s the point. No use crying over it.
No ship is more important than the other ships here. There is no ‘bigger picture’.
They didn’t say it was though.
Guys. Let’s stay positive. All of you. Support your ship. Vote with love. There’s no reason to be upset about any of this. This is for fun and celebration!
-Admin Angel
never thought wincest would do so good, with so much destiel voters. glad to see they have a lot of shippers too 🙂 i know they will never be number one but i’m happy with a 3rd place.
Dean/Cas <3 the greatest love story ever told :'3
Destiel Shippers, don’t stop voting if we get ahead! We need to go really far ahead of Sterek so they cant catch up. No offense to those Shippers, i just want my ship to win.
Dean and Cas are SOULMATES FOREVER!!!!<3<3
Come one Destiel Shippers!!!
I am proud of you<3
Just remember Dean and Cas love for each other:))))
It seems we have been rewarded for getting back in the lead with another Misha/Pie vid. 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9INsWgGRd4g
LOLOLOLOL! These guys deserve to win #1. They have so much fun on set. <3
Vote destiel! We caught up so quickly it’s pretty awesome 😀
Sterek must be an epic ship, but destiel is just so gorgeous I just have to tell you to vote for it!
I just went for a shower and food and suddently damn look at those numbers! Destiel you guys are a bunch of ninja sleeper agents oh my god.
Awesome! *cautiously brings destiel shippers into a hug* o///o;; L-let’s do our best, okay!?
*hugs back super tight* We’ll do our best!
Come on, guys.
Vote Wincest –
CANON SOULMATES <3
We can totally take third.
Man, I just really wish this would end in a tie. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Considering the top ship keeps switching back throughout the day, I think it’s safe to say that Sterek and Destiel are evenly matched. 🙂
Go go go Destiel! It feels so good to see Wincest doing so good at the same time! Everytime I vote Destiel , i also vote Wincest <3
Good luck for Sterek, we're on fire since Jensen pied Misha earlier! <3 Go go go let's keep the party going! Go Destiel ! <3
The Wincest fandom thanks you!
I’m so surprised to see Sastiel doing so well! If it pushes a little more it can even overtake Wincest. That’s pretty interesting!
I think the episode First Born boosted the sastiel shippers’ numbers and energy, since it’s the most time Sam and Cas have ever spent together(not to mention, without Dean there too).
While I’m not a sastiel shipper myself(destiel and sabriel all the way), I hope all the best for both sastiel and wincest. It’s nice to see so many spn ships doing so well. 🙂
I’m so happy that sheriarty and wincest is doing so good! <3
so happy about johnlock! soulmates for over 100 years. such a great and eternal love <333
I can”t see the amount of sterek votes on the poll.
Derek/Stiles (Sterek) – Teen Wolf 33.81% (559,727 votes)
I haven’t done anything in four days but vote on this thing. It’s worse than flappy bird. I wanna kill my computer.
oh my god i never knew that much people shipped destiel
STEREK on the lead yaay!!!
I love Destiel but Sterek is my best!
Dont stop voting destiel shippers if we get ahead! We need to get ahead, and STAY ahead! GO DESTIEL!
Sterek use bots! For 1 click + 500 voted! I shure. For 15 second so many votes are impossible.
Edit:
ADMIN NOTE: Please stop replying to this comment. PLEASE. The anger this thread has inspired is blowing up my inbox. They have been reprimanded and now I have to reprimand people that are responding to it with hate. Please read our site policies before commenting: https://thegeekiary.com/policies
we ar enot useing bots. We have been spreading this thing around all over the net telling fellow sterek shipers to vote. there are alot of sterek shippers in the world. I for one have been votting all day and all night
I don’t want to offense anybody, but how can you know for certain that nobody cheats? What I know is that one moment there were 40 votes difference and after refreshing the page there were 500+ votes diff. This seems very suspicious
STOP NOW. Please read this post: http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76210674054/hello-shippers
They COULD be cheating, but the numbers match up with what we’re pulling in. Any further comments about cheating without proof (either links to where these conspiracies are hatching or by refuting these numbers) will be deleted and repeated posting of these accusations will result in an IP ban. This is getting ridiculous. Please stop.
-Admin Angel
Most likely, There’s no cheating. Just cool people spreading it around.
The Geekiary has already addressed this issue in this post http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76210674054/hello-shippers. For the record, there has been no time when Sterek has gone up by 500+ votes in 15 seconds. Actually Destiel and Sterek have been keeping it very even right now. Both groups of shippers are doing an amazing job. Why not spend the time you took commenting in making a positive comment about the ship you ship, and not a negative and obviously false post. It just makes people feel defensive because Sterek shippers have been working pretty hard to keep up with Destiel. Even I feel defensive about what you posted and this is the nicest comment I can type.
Try and stay classy.
thanks paul . I appreaciate that. You stay class too ^_^
Thanks! I’ll admit I did get a little annoyed because there’s been so many posts in the Sterek tag and my dashboard urging people to vote and to just have a person accuse Sterek with absurd voting numbers gets me a bit ranty.
But I know it’s only frustration on their part. I get a bit frustrated too when we fall behind. I just wish they didn’t have to get mean.
You’re a class act too, dude 🙂
it kinda offended me..but i am not going to let this persons buthurt effect me. im only fueled by derek defending stiles and helping to find him in my love of sterek
Stay positive you guys. I’ve deleted some of the nasty comments left on this thread. Please don’t get negative here.
-Admin Angel
Thanks for that. I know I should’ve probably just ignored the obvious trolling comment but it just frustrated me after seeing how hard the Sterek shippers have been working.
I love the positivity here and to be honest, there have been much less negative comments here than expected. All the shippers have done a great job 🙂
Destiel fandom is rather large as well and have been working like crazy, having posts being around all the time encouraging to vote and even a contest going on for an ipad or something like that, along with fanfics + fanarts up for grabs. It’s kind of annoying to see that somehow Sterek keeps getting comments of them working hard (or even it being implied harder) than the Destiel fandom. Though, I do find it weird how fast, at random times, the Sterek gets a lot of numbers within such a little time frame. Bots can be used without making it look too suspicious, though. But, I highly doubt the person is being “butthurt,” about it, other than pointing something out they think would be unfair (ie cheating).
Also, this site is loading really off – as if bots are being used, I’m not sure how anyone can vote every minute when it the site can sometimes take between 1-3 minutes to load for me, though there are random times where it does load back to back but very rarely.
Botting is done offsite so if the page is loading slowly it has absolutely nothing to do with a bot and actually supports that bots aren’t being used. Bots attack the poll at the host, which means they bypass our website entirely. The website is loading slow because a lot of people are here voting. So you didn’t intend to, but by saying this site is loading slowly you are supporting the idea that botting isn’t occurring.

Thank you for noting that. I think EVERYONE is working hard. And botting in the two big ships is stupid, since they are SO active that I’m sure they’re getting pretty closely monitored compared to those lower down the list.
I think that part of it is just timing and demographics. There seem to be times when it’s more likely that Destiel edges up, times when Sterek does. When they go up, they often go up at a pretty fair pace. Sterek, yesterday, had an 8000+vote lead that was switched over into a more than 2000 vote Destiel lead in less than 2 hours. I don’t think THAT was botting, just someone noticed the lead, rallied their troops, and they voted a LOT.
Same thing here. *shrug* It’s like two heavyweights, just standing toe to toe and pounding each other until the bell rings. *laugh*
Both are worthy opponents, and I don’t think, to any appreciable amount, either ONE is cheating.
I don’t think that is what I said at all, I said that it could be being used since it’s how it’s loading (was merely basing my judgement from other sites with bot usage, it would always cause the sites to take some minutes to load and such), I know that botting did occur on this site since a ship was banned from the poll. Not really sure how my comment could had came off as not saying botting isn’t/can’t occur but sorry that you took it as such.
It’s really a shame that there are digs at the STEREK fandom from disgruntled Destiel shippers? Maybe the incentive needs to be bigger than an iPad?
Please, guys. NO ONE is cheating. Yesterday, I spent my whole day voting and I know that everybody is workin really hard.I know how important it is, I’m waiting for a “I love you” since season four, it’s season nine and all I have is sexual tension. Maybe if we spreed the word, writers forget about taboos (hope is the last to die).
Anyway, I wish good luck for all the shippers. We’re at the same route.
It is people like yourself that spread the bad feeling between ships! I support what Paul has said, I have been monitoring this poll from he beginning and there has never been a spike in either of the leading ships as you suggest. Voting splurges have coincided with time zones and posts by competing ships on Facebook, Twitter, LJ, etc. Both ships are working SO hard and fighting it out neck and neck.
All your post does is make people like myself feel that Destiel shippers are terrified of losing even one for fun poll and will do anything to win, including making wild accusations and attempting to get their biggest rivals disqualified,which is totally ridiculous, The majority of Destiel fans are lovely people and in this for fun. Let the big boys duke it out fairly between them.
Good luck to both ships and Angel all the kudos in the world.
Having said that :
COME ON STEREK!
Blair dude you’re talking through the back of your head. My cousin and I are sitting side by side on laptops voting STEREK and averaging 9 votes per minute so let’s say 3 votes per 15 secs. It only takes 125 others to be doing the same to exceed 500 votes in 15 secs. Not at all impossible, In fact given the awesome response by STEREK fans very possible!
Yo STEREK!
Destiel shipper here. I think they are just spreading it around more. Sadly I noticed on my Tumblr the Sterek followers have been sharing the poll a lot more than Destiel has. And I follow more Destiel than Sterek sites. Not to forget to mention how awesome last Teen Wolf episode was and Super Natural is going to post-pone episodes until the Olympics are done and that’s going to effect the poll a bit.
This is, in fact, what is happening and this is supporting by the numbers here: http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76210674054/hello-shippers
-Admin Angel
Or maybe there are soooo many sterek fans out there!!!! ♥ GO ON STEREK FANDOM, GO ON!!!!
We’re not using bots! If we were we would be eliminated, we are just a very large fanbase and also very dedicated which is why we are in the lead right now.
Sterek not uses bots. just a lot of people from Russia. seriously
Yesterday, Destiel went from being behind 8000 votes to being ahead by more than 2000 in a couple of hours. Nobody accused THEM of botting.
Just be a good sport, expect the admins to do their jobs, and enjoy your ship.
Sterek is botting unfortunately, check for yourself.
i really wish this botting accusation would just stop. Why do some of you Desital fans have to be such sore losers
They are not Destiel shippers but someone pretending to be, and you’re that naive you let them run their stuff here. If you don’t agree, don’t answer to them… they are coming from another site because they are bitter because nobody is paying attention to them and YOU ARE paying attention to them here.
Stop it.
STOP IT NOW. Please read this post: http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76210674054/hello-shippers
They COULD be cheating, but the numbers match up with what we’re pulling in. Any further comments about cheating without proof (either links to where these conspiracies are hatching or by refuting these numbers) will be deleted and repeated posting of these accusations will result in an IP ban. This is getting ridiculous. Please stop.
-Admin Angel
hun, if you have nothing nice to say; say nothing at all.
if i were to say destiel was boting the poll the trend in which their votes go up suggests that, however we sterek shippers know that we are up against a more settled ship with a large fanbase so i and many of the sterek shippers across the globe vote our hearts out for our ship. petty thoughts of your are offensive and hurtful so keep your damn mouth shut.
No, honey. I clicked the vote a lot and following the numbers. Everytime I saw the vote, it went up just 20s or 30s. No bot, just power of sterek shippers. If you want your ship to get a lot of vote, just be cool and click the button, repeatly.
You and what evidence?
Let this go. They’ve already been reprimanded and I’m on your side about this. There have been far too many comments on this thread.
-Admin Angel
me and the admins provided evidence hun if you were kind enough to look at it you would realize that and stop with your stupid and useless argument and vote till your fingers cramp like i do no matter what happens in the poll win or lose sterek shippers areound the world can be proud that they actually tried. people like you undermine feels of others and only think about yourself you give your ship a bad name hun and you are totally forgetting that shipping is a joyous thing which is meant to be shared with everyone so shut it.
I’m pretty sure Ava was asking the person accusing the botting for evidence, not accusing people of botting. Also, while I agree that the evidence points towards not botting, try not to tell people to “shut it” in the comments section of this website. That falls under out ‘don’t be mean” section of our policies: https://thegeekiary.com/policies
But yes, I don’t believe they are using bots and I think Ava agrees with us.
-Admin Angel
alright will do hope 🙂
sorry ava if i offended you
That’s just childish
Ain’t nobody got time for you
Just vote non stop and ask your fellow shippers to vote with ya
All use both, but we dont know true. Stronger win!
So when’s the closing date?
DESTIEL
I’m voting for Johnlock and don’t have a bias against either Sterek or Destiel. But it’s been hard to keep that up because it’s been consistent that whenever Destiel has been behind, nasty comments are written and the geekiary tumblr gets accusations of cheating.
Why don’t you handle your fandom that is showing it’s nasty underbelly when it’s behind? Fans from other ships that have noticed can point out that your ship has some trolling members that the other ships haven’t shown.
I’m equally frustrated with the cheating accusations, but let’s not paint the entire fandom with the same brush here. I’m trying my best to moderate comments. Let’s try to stay positive and not focus on those who are only being negative. I’m trying my best to delete nastiness as it gets posted.
-Admin Angel
Exactly! We just want destiel to win as much as anyone else wants their ship to win. I for one am voting for destiel and johnlock. Sure when sterek takes over destiel I get a bit upset but then I, and the part of the fandom I know, all try and get more people to vote. We don’t accuse sterek of cheating. You could have just left it at you don’t ship destiel or sterek, you didn’t have to put in that negative comment about the whole supernatural fandom when it was probably only a handful of people…
Thanks for keeping things positive. I’m also somebody who is on the sidelines of this Destiel/Sterek competition and it has been a pattern that Destiel falls behind – everything gets mean. I don’t know if this is hate, but it’s an observation. I’m not generalizing the whole lot of Destiel shippers because there have been very nice and lovely messages from Destiel shippers to Sterek shippers. However, there is a section of them that have offended me on behalf of Sterek (and I don’t even know any Sterek shippers). Admin has done an awesome job dealing with it.
Kirk/Bones 5eva! We’re not big but I’m proud of us.
Yeah I guess I just don’t like it when people generalise fandoms! And also, when destiel fell behind I posted it on tumblr trying to get some support and a sterek shipper sent me some really horrible messages about how were losers etc so yeah, it’s not just destiel shippers that can get nasty…
And personally I’m routing for johnlock for 3rd because it’s obvious it’s not coming 1st or 2nd!
Hello, Angel K maybe who should just close the comments sections for the poll for the remainder of it. Before it gets even more nasy and rude. Because there are those that do and pretend to be destiel “fans” just to start something it has happened in another poll before. But there are good and bad fans in ALL fandoms. But I will say that there have been posts that has said how to vote against destiel becasue of hate (there is a screen cap) before. So I get how some destiel fans feel a certain way. Thank very mcuh for trying to keep the peace but it will just go back and fourth with “comments” that may seem alright but are really rude to others. So maybe if there is a way just close the comments for this poll till Sat. It’s really your choice. It must be a headache trying to reading every comment and making sure that it doesn’t come off as rude/nasty. So Thanks Again.♥
Thanks. Yeah I’m very tempted and will keep this under consideration. I have other work to do and this is a lot of effort to monitor. Would you mind sending me the screencaps of people cheating against Destiel? Email me at TheGeekiary@gmail.com Your email address and real name will be kept confidential I promise. I just want to see evidence please. Links would work great too. Thanks.
-Admin Angel
I know that Destiel fans, more often than other ships, can get very rude and violent. I don’t know why, and I know it’s just a few bad apples but there is something about it. Sorry on behalf of the Supernatural fandom.
I don’t watch Teen Wolf but I’ve been considering joining. I’m pulling for Sterek!
I’m in both the SPN and TW fandoms. Yep I love despair and torture. Sometimes SPN fandom can get rude but the good people far outnumbers the bad.
All fandoms have nasty members. TW certainly has them as well but because SPN fandom is bigger the percentage of the bad ones is just more.
But both fandoms are great to be in. In the case of TW, the fandom stuff and the fanfiction is far superior to the actual show.
They’re both full of great and amazing people.
I agree that there’s also some nastiness in the Teen Wolf fandom. I’ve just made it my policy to block most of those people so I never see it in the sterek or the eternalsterek tag (bless the eternalsterek tag) anymore. Ignorance is bliss 🙂
I also agree that fandom output has been a much higher quality than the show. Sterek fanfiction has better continuity and more thought out plot in some cases. Although I may have a slight bias because those fanfictions actually have Sterek 😉
Wow it’s like a one-on-one battle between destiel and sterek! GO DESTIEL!! But for all we know, stecil could encounter a sudden change of events and take over us all!!
Shout out to Doctor/Rose for being the highest ranked Het couple!
You are a special flower and love you.
I know! Sterek may be my OTP, but I still give votes to Doctor/Rose because other than John/Aeryn from Farscape, they’re the couple I’ve cried the most tears over.
Doomsday.
Just seeing gifs of that episode still gives me chills.
It makes me happy to see them so high in the poll 🙂
A farscape fan!!! Hello!
Yeah I am so happy for them, I’ve been voting for Sterek and Wincest nonstop but I’ve been plugging Rose Ten when I can.
Ohhh, Farscape. That show wrecked me like no other and shipping John/Aeryn was such a painful but thankfully very satisfying experience.
You’re voting Sterek too! Yay!
I’m voting Sterek but also Doctor/Rose and Felicity/Oliver. But mostly Sterek. It’s the ship that has reeled me in and won’t let me go 😉
im voting sterek,johnlock and the psych pairings mostly for support…but i want sterek to win..once you go sterek you never go back lol
Sterek has ruined me in the best way 🙂
Psych is awesome. Lassiter is my fave. It was cool to see him pop as Cain in Supernatural. I’m also terrible at finding the pineapple in every episode. Seriously bad at it.
oh i know! when i saw he was cain and how everyone was just talking about him as cain..all i could see was lassie lol i cant belive that psych is actually ending…Sadness. fortunently with teen wolf we are garenteed at least a season 4.
as for those pinapples..im decent but not the greatest
I haven’t found a pineapple since last season 🙁
And Lassie in SPN. I kept waiting for him to say Winchester the same way he says Spencer in Psych.
Or to start tapdancing 🙂 I love when Lassie and Gus do stuff like that together.
i am so far behind..i have only seen parts of this season. …i ushually catch up with my shows on hulu or netflix …since my family hogs the tv..except for sterek. I get that via torenz since i make teen wolf videos…hmm..maybe i should someday make a psych/teen wolf crossover lol
Oh yes please. A Psych/TW crossover where Stiles and Scott have a detective agency and Derek is the cranky cop.
Now as I write that, I think there probably is a fic like that on ao3. I might have to do some searching later 😉
i think there is..i think i saw it yesterday..oh..what if ..someone makes one..where shawn is investigating the missing stiles who disapeared from the hospital..just ignoring the next episode..and he comes across werewolves and all this supernatural stuff and shawn and gus just geek out lol
Yeah I love that show. Gonna have to rewatch it while it’s still on Netlfix.
Yeah go Sterek! I’m there with you! It’s just such a fun ship and the fandom is so great. Cannot wait for Monday (again).
I recently rewatched Farscape and it’s still amazing. John’s ‘nuclear bomb in a field of flowers’ speech still kills me. As does the ‘two John’s’ arc. I am not ashamed to say I cried very manly tears during it.
Sterek really is a fun ship. Fandom has an awesome sense of humour and I am constantly amazed at the talent of our fanfic writers, artists and gif makers. I’m just in awe sometimes.
Monday will kill me. I know it.
Here’s hoping Stiles and Derek are in a scene together. We’ve actually had them in the same building last episode so it’s progress 😉
Oh man that whole thing was just. Tears. All of the tears.
Yeah it never fails to amaze me how clever the fans are. They can figure out an entire plot line by like, a ten second preview. Plus they seem to have a better grasp of continuity and story telling than the actual writers. It makes me sad and proud in equal measure.
Seariously if they hurt Stiles there will be hell to pay. And I am all for Derek fighting to save Stiles. Yes and please.
What seriously worries me is the lack of Derek 3b. Tyler H seems to have been relegated to punch bag extra and I can’t help but think this is Jeff’s way of edging him out and letting him die saving Stiles?Beacon Hills. I think if he survives to season 4 Derek will be lucky 🙁
Dylan and Tyler H have practically confirmed on twitter that they’re in season 4. I’m really worried about Allison.
The show has relegated her to playing sidekick to Isaac and her father, and has sneakily never had it confirmed that she’s not possessed like Stiles. In addition, Kira has almost replaced her in every way, as Scott’s love interest and being the daughter of a family that fights evil.
And the show has a terrible pattern of killing female characters. I’m going to truly be disappointed if Allison dies.
Fandom works out everything.
The continuity and storytelling problems is annoying. Fandom puts more effort in to it than the show does. I’ve given up on getting a list of birthdays and ages that actually works in the canon.
And I’ll never get over the scene of Lydia in Biology class where she calls Harris, the dead chemistry teacher, the old biology teacher and then ends the scene by pulling a Physics textbook towards her to start reading.
And the entire existence of Cora.
There are going to be so many Stiles feels coming up, I don’t know if I can handle it. Just thinking about the Sheriff and him thinking he’s dying is heartbreaking.
And yes, give me all the protective Derek. I’m living to see some of that.
God I know. I can forgive the writers and prop department not paying attention to those minute details during the first season, but the second the noticed how the fandom was they should have stepped up their game. Been more careful. And I know Davis wants this air of mystery of whatever but sometimes a little explination is a good thing.
Like Erica. Derek finds her body right? And Boyd dies in his arms. What, exactly do they do then? There’s no mention of Derek being a suspect of anything else in 3a even though both teenagers were clearly murdered. And don’t even get me started on Cora/the Fire/Paige/etc.
whoops rant, sorry.
But yes. And I hope Derek doesn’t die either. But my money at the moment is that it’s going to be Allison. Not really sure why but it seems where they’re going.
Jeff said not all the main charecters are going to make it to season 4..i honestly had hopped it was Lydia..her charecter ..while enjoyable at first..is starting to become..a bit…off..i dont know if its aiden…..or the fact that jackson left..but im iffy. Although with the way things are going..i am really starting to think its allison who leaves.
Oh yes the Cora/Fire/Paige plot.
I laughed when Stiles had to ask Cora what had changed in Derek’s life since she knew him.
Ummm, Kate… the fire.
Nope. Paige.
Jeff gets bored with canon he’s written and rewrites it.
Boyd and Erica’s plot was a mess. I never understood how Boyd reappears from the vault, his girlfriend still missing, but he’s allowed to be at school. No questioning.
But it looks like Stiles is with his class in the promo for next episode, despite being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and everybody suspecting he’s the nogitsune. Nobody thought to stop him from being around people.
There is so much to rant about. But I won’t because I will just hope for Sterek, read Sterek fanfiction and watch Dylan’s amazing performance.
Allison is definitely the fandom prediction to die and to be the real evil. She’s never been checked by the oni, and there was major foreshadowing when Chris was told that the nogitsune had to be killed, even if it was somebody close to him.
I hope we’re wrong and Jeff doesn’t kill off yet another female character. It’s a bad trend in the show. I love Crystal a lot and I would definitely be upset and disappointed if she was gone.
well in the wolf watch Jeff did confirm Stiles was evil and will be for quite some time if not the rest of this season plus some..so if allison does end up evil..it would be from something else..
So I guess there’s a limit to continuing a thread here.
The plots just are not well thought out. Which is strange because some of the foreshadowing is really clever and subtle (The Darach in the lightbulb for example) but there’s so much ball dropping it’s crazy. I watch the show because I love the characters and I love Sterek.
(plus it’s better to know what’s going on in the show when reading the fanfic)
I don’t know what is up with the female characters lately. I haven’t been an Allison fan for a while, not since she shot up Erica and Boyd and wasn’t called on it. Actually, no one gets called on anything or says they’re sorry. Ever. Jeff really? And I do not like that even though Lydia was all “NO Aiden” she’s still around them. The twins are mass murderers and they are no good.
Erica was my favorite girl and they killed her so carelessly. sad face
I don’t ship either of the top two ships and I’m not really bothered who wins, my ship isn’t even in the poll. I have noticed the unpleasant and accusatory remarks made by Destiel shippers every time STEREK takes the lead on Facebook, Twitter etc.and frankly I’m shocked and very glad not to be part of that fandom. I am sure it is a minority of people who seem unhealthily obsessed and terrified of losing one a poll. But guess what, I’m sitting on my computer day and night and voting STEREK and the negative comments and hate expressed by a few Destiel shipper have prompted me to do that. Well done guys.
While we have no way of monitoring this type of voting, we are definitely against spite voting. Please vote for what you love, not for what you hate. This poll is about love, remember? You are voting with hate and that goes against what this poll is about.
-Admin Angel
You’re as hateful as the ones you’re claiming to be hateful, darling, then.
Vote for what you like and do not spread lies and wank 🙂
Have a nice day 😉
For starters, I don’t ship either one of these ships, but your comment, like some others, has confused me.
So let me get this straight. You’re voting for a ship you don’t even ship because you want to be spiteful against a minority of jerks? You do realize you’re now going against the majority of Destiel shippers who are sweet as can be and have been supportive towards Sterek. Spite is not the way to go. I don’t care what sort of comments you see whenever Sterek takes the lead; both sides have some bad apples, but that said, those are NOT the majority. Plus, for all we know, many of those people may just be trying to make both sides look bad on purpose because they hate either ship or because they’re trolls. Who knows? As the admin keeps saying, this poll is about LOVE, not hate or spite or any feeling like it. You should vote for a ship because you support it or its fellow shippers and genuinely want them to win.
On a closing note, that was negative and rude to say you’re “very glad not to be part of that fandom”. Would you like it if people spoke that way about your fandom for having some rowdy jerks? Supernatural is a HUGE fandom, so of course it has more loud-mouthed “cray-cray” fans than many of the smaller ones. As fandoms get larger, more jerks pop up. That’s just how it goes. I’ve experienced it in every fandom I’ve been in. As someone a part of the Supernatural fandom in general (though not a Destiel shipper), I’m offended and “shocked” by your comment. I sincerely hope you never have to deal with people stereotyping your fandom and judging them as a whole based on a small group of people. It’s not something pleasant to deal with. ):
Hello!
I’m a Brazilian fan. Here we are very committed to vote honestly in Sterek. We just love the ship and we want him to win. Many groups have teamed up with this intention.
Go Sterek, go!
Thanks!
this is the thing i hate about fandoms, one person or group of people will say something harsh about another ship and the whole fandom gets blammed for it. its really horrible but i guess its the price we pay for shipping.
but this poll has ruined me!!!! i started watching arrow a few days before the poll started and didnt even know that Felicity/Oliver was a pairing that others shipped, then i saw them in this poll and have since become obsessed they are now my other OTP (besides Sterek).
Well, I’ll keep voting Destiel no matter what! All the hate and accusations is really starting to get me down though – I wish people would stop generalising Destiel shippers. One or two rude people on a poll that has hundreds of thousands of votes does not a fandom make. Every Destiel shipper I’ve ever interacted with has been lovely and it’s been a pleasure voting alongside them – and I know that I’ve always felt welcomed amongst them 🙂
S-T-E-R-E-K…S-T-E-R-E-K…S-T-E-R-E-K. Come on guys! 🙂
Angel, you know what is happening here? You’re receiving residual comments from another site. I’m sure you’re aware TVGuide chose Destiel as a pairing that “should they or shouldn’t they” be together and people are commenting and voting there and sharing a lot of wonderful comments.
Thing is, tho, comments in that particular poll are administrated by disqus, so people vote them up or down. And the 98% of comments there are positive and awesome, thoughtful and meaningful. There are, tho, the usual haters coming and trying to rain in our parade… but they are simply stopped by a down vote, nobody cares about them and they are at the bottom of the comment section.
And in the poll of that article, that asks if Destiel should or shouldn’t be, there are a gigantic 94% in favour against a 6% of disagreement. And haters HATE that. Much more since said poll is one-ip-vote.
They can’t do anything to stop the love storm there.
So they come here.
They come here pretending to be Destiel shippers and with the solely purpose of creating disturbs, because that’s what they usually do. Much more here that they can comment anonymously, which is something that they love, and no comments are rated.
STEREK SHIPPERS: We are here fighting for our pairing as much as you are. Don’t pay attention to anyone who comes here claiming to be a Destiel shipper while being rude because we are not like this.
Such a coincidence… the problems here started when the TVGuide article couldn’t be taken by them. Classy, and something that is super common in this fandom.
Keep on voting, people, do not comment hate and DO NOT SAY “DESTIEL SHIPPERS ARE AGRESSIVE” or things like that because if you say so you clearly didn’t know a lot of us.
Combat hate with love. And votes.
Seconding this, I’m very active in the Destiel fandom, and I’ve seen zero ship hate from anyone toward Sterek, in fact, my Destiel friends have all been so emotional over the last Teen Wolf episode that I’ve started to seriously consider checking the show out.
It would be super rad if people would stop making things up just to try to turn two fandoms against each other.
Sterek shippers, I’ve got nothing but love for you! Let the ship with the most enthusiastic voting base win!
Thanks for the information. I’m going through and deleting the hate now. The fun thing is that I can block people by IP so if their comments are too outrageous they get blocked. I’ve had to block 6 people unfortunately. I’ve had to delete over 30 comments. This does explain why there has been such a spike in nasty comments over the last couple of days, though. They need somewhere to go to complain.
-Admin Angel
I’ve been voting here these days till my fingers and butt got sore, and it’s really fun seriously. One time Sterek will lead and after that Destiel will catch up, I almost laughing and cursing at the same time, and it really motivates me to vote more. Mine goes for Sterek of course 😀
I’m sure no cheating from both sides and I hope no one would do it, coz it’d ruin the whole fun
c’mon destiel shippers were losing here!!! lets go! spread the love!
and wow congrats on doing so well sterek, let the biggest ship win uwu
challange accepted
Голосую за Дестиэль, потому что это единственный пейринг, от которого захватывает дыхание.
I can’t tell if this is hate. Can someone who speaks Russian tell me what this says and if it needs to be deleted? It’s titled “No Sterek” which makes me think it’s hate but I don’t want to delete it based on that alone.
-Admin Angel
i tried google translating but it seemed gibberish. it basically said something about voting for desital because its the only one worth breathtaking? not sure what that all means
I’m leaning towards deleting here. That doesn’t sound very nice. But the only people who would get offended is other Russian speaking individuals so I’ll wait until one confirms this is hate before actually deleting.
-Admin Angel
Okay. Im not offended by it myself..mostly because..im still confused by the wording…but yea if you are ever confused on what they are saying google translate is a good place to go. ^_^ you are doing such a good job with this. btw
There is no hate or insults, No Sterek just cares too much. It doesn’t sound rude.
“Voting for Destiel because this is the only one pairing, which makes breathless.” Hope it’s clear for you.
I am very much a Destiel fan, but I kinda love that we always end up against Sterek. In my experience, the Sterek fandom (and the Teen Wolf fandom in general) approaches these polls with a lot of passion but at the same time they treat the Destiel fans with respect and friendly banter. Sure, there’s the occasional nasty person that you find in any fandom, but they seem to be few and far between. I see the Sterek fandom as sort of like cousins to DeanCas shippers, and the fandom as a whole is always lovely and easy to get along with (and all the positive experiences I’ve had with the Teen Wolf fandom have convinced me to start watching the show, I’m three episodes in). Thanks to the vast majority of both fandoms who treat each other with kindness and respect, no matter who they ship 🙂
Im glad we got you to join the teen wolf fandom. ^_^
Sterek not uses bots. just a lot of people from Russia. seriously
I’M SORRY BUT IT’S NOOOOT POSSIBLE
FEW SECONDS AGO STEREK HAD 61300 AND SITE DID’NT LOAD WELL AND THEN THERE’S MORE THAN 617.000
EXPLAIN ME THESE PLS
Me’thinks the page just took too long to load cuz’ of cookies?
man..now i want cookies…
I could go for some cookies and a nice bottle of vodka.
-Admin Angel
too bad you dont live near north dakota or i could make you some amazing vaninlla peantu butter cookies
I’m only leaving this comment up to let people know that I’m following through on the threat to ban IPs from people who are doing this.
I’m sorry, but I gave plenty of warnings to stop this behavior and you haven’t.
-Admin Angel
The admin explained that bot voting bypasses the page, so it doesn’t create lag (in fact, since the people wouldn’t do both, it may very well reduce lag). So, the lag was just a LOT of people voting at around the same time, and the server trying to process it. Simple.
Give it a break already! Angel K has explained in detail that bot voting DOES NOT EFFECT THE SPEED AT WHICH THE SITE LOADS! It was slow because of the huge numbers voting legitimately. Both leading ships are huge and have dedicated shippers prepared to sit and vote and vote. My own OTP Johnlock can never hope to catch them but has done an awesome job coming third and I wish the top two nothing but well.
anyone see the latest promo for new teen wolf episode? It only fuels my need to vote sterek..so at least something goes right…although..evil stiles is just so adorable
X2
Love of you guys:))
Destiel shippers! We can win this<3<3<3
Sorry I mean I love every single one of you guys:)
awesome people
Sterek and Destiel hard at work!! Excellent job, everybody!! This is the sort of fanpower that TV people need to pay attention to! LOL I bet since there are already hunters and werewolves in either show, if they made a crossover ep or a video, it’d break the ratings charts! 😀
With the Garth episode that expanded the Supernatural mythos on werewolves (not just out of control beasts that kill during full moons, but can be in control, in packs, have their own culture and history, etc), yeah, NOW there could really be a crossover and work. (In the previous version, the Winchesters would probably just come and try to kill ’em all…because all werewolves are just unthinking monsters).
Wow, that would just…be insane. Too bad they’re on different networks.
could you imagine them trying to fight evil stiles?…just..how epic that would be?
Yes it is too bad, really… If they could make a video, for online watching instead, perhaps that could work? 😀 All the hits from the fans come in, it would be crazy and amazing! 😀
Go Destiel!
Keep voting! 😀
I’m impressed with how both the Sterek and Destiel fandoms have rallied. Good job keeping it positive, everyone! I’m rooting for Destiel, but I would be proud to get 2nd place to such a dedicated fanbase. <3
Destiel is very important, we have so much hope for them to get together as a romantic couple. There’s so much signs and their story is so beautiful, we love them, we love their love, their relationship. How they created it, through the years it became so strong and wonderful. They are already acting like a romantic couple, the schema of their relationship, the way it is written and played is romantic actually, you can see so much parallel with other romantic couple in other tv show and or movies, it’s really not platonic, I’m not just talking about attraction there (there’s that too well) but romantic love is different than friendship or family-brother-father-mother love I’m not saying it’s more or less but it’s different you just don’t act and love the same way and we can see it clearly with Dean and Castiel.
Go Destiel Go!I’m so glad to be part of this fandom.Wow Sterek shippers doing great! Well done guys.And please don’t fight it’s not cool.We are fangirls we should protect and defend each other!
I kinda like Stiles/Derek together. Its cute.. They r cute.
But the feels I get when I see this amazing chemistry between Dean/Cas.. jeez, it just cant be faked!
I’m pushing hard for Destiel, but Sterek’s sure giving us a run for our money! I’m really impressed we should all be seriously proud of ourselves.
Lol whoops almost voted for WTNV’s Man In The Tan Jacket and Dana b/c my mind associated them with Cas and Dean.
That gave me a giggle too 😛
I’m an italian Destiel and Sherlolly fan, and I’m really enjoying this poll.
Please, everyone, don’t be negative or cruel with the others. Keep voting and sharing the love for our favourite OTP :3
Haha! It’s always Destiel or Sterek playing catch-up! Like a long… 2 week marathon.
Hey fellow Destiel fans,
Don’t forget to also vote here 🙂
In the TV Couples, Should they Shouldn’t they?
TV Guide are asking this time about Destiel ;D
92% so far are in favour of Dean & Castiel getting together. heh ^^
http://www.tvguide.com/PhotoGallery/TV-Couples-Shouldnt-1077532/1077544
Yeah I’ve voted off and on on that one too! I’m surprised TVGuide actually put Dean/Cas on their list, quite the pleasant surprise! <333
I love this epic battle, haha (vote for Destiel)
Guys I ship half of the ships above and I am just seriously proud of both the Destiel and Sterek shippers for keeping up such an epic battle.
It’s a little voting for shipping thing, Not like it’s gonna change the opinion of the writers. It’s just for fun, no need to “Bot” it and complain just because your ship isn’t in the lead if its not. It’s not gonna change anything.
I think all SPNFamily should stop splitting their votes and vote for destiel as it is the only ship that has an actual chance of winning…. At the moment, sterek fans are able to catch up to us because at this point it seems all Teen Wolf fandom is voting for that one ship whereas our fandom is still backing our own ships…..
So I am calling on the entire SPNFamily to unite and vote for destiel as well so we can win this….Take one for the team guys…. (and, stop blaming sterek voters if we lag behind you should use it as fuel to motivate your fingers, their loyalty is credit-worthy)
Hi, a Wincest shipper here. While I see where you are coming from, I personally have to decline voting for Destiel, since I never been treated by Destiel shippers as a family member, but rather as an abomination for my own ship.
I voted for Wincest and I support my own ship and the Wincest shippers! You go, guys! Vote for your ship!
Nooooo…. Hugs to you from a Destiel shipper! With only a few rare exceptions, I’ve found the Wincest fans to be super sweet and awesome, and I’m really sorry you have not been treated by Destiel fans as I have by Wincest fans.
I can see where you’re coming from and I’m sure you mean well, but… no. Even if it’s from a fandom I like, I’m not going to vote for a ship I dislike just because it’s the only one which has a chance of winning. I’m just gonna keep voting for the ships I actually like. I do wish you (and everyone) the best of luck, though!
While I’m a die-hard Destiel shipper myself, this suggestion makes me uneasy. Because winning’s nice, but it’s not JUST about winning, you know? Personally, I like seeing the enthusiasm generated when people vote for their own ships, whether or not I agree with them.
Now I think that Destiel use bots. Because it is exactly the same difference between them and Sterek for about 4 hours – 3500 voates.
STOP. Please stop with the bot accusations. Though I must admit that switching it up and accusing Destiel of botting is a change of pace, but just please stop. I am on my last nerve now with these accusations and I can’t take it anymore.
-Admin Angel
Not that I think anybody had any doubt that it would be, but in case any of my fellow SPN fans haven’t heard, Supernatural has been officially renewed for its tenth season!
Now I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that Misha gets signed as a series regular again! >w<
Oh gosh I hope so. 😀
Yep, right there with you!
Once again it’s a matter between Sterek and Destiel, wonder who will win this time? 😉 Love them both and will be fun to see the result! Best of luck everyone!
I’d like to ask for your compassion. Sterek and Destiel are both great ships and I love them. But the difference is that Sterek has a chance of happening in canon. They’ve already implied Stiles bisexuality and just now we got some spoilers about them. Dean and Castiel are great but Supernatural is a show that doesn’t have a lot of LGBT representation and the writers and producers think it appeals more to a heterosexual male audience. They even laughed at that girl for talking about bisexuality at a Supernatural con, while the Teen Wolf cast treats Sterek with respect like any other ship.
My point here, is that I’m asking you guys to help vote for Sterek. It won’t make Destiel any less good, but it will get the word about Sterek out there and maybe there’s more chance of them happening in canon. It’ll be a good LGBT representation and I, as a Sterek shipper, would forever be greatful to you.
I understand that you’re not trying to be rude whatsoever, believe me I do. But it still can come off that way saying one ship has a better chance of becoming canon than the other. Which you can’t possibly know for sure since none of us know what is going on in the writers heads. I’m not angry or pissed, but someone else might be because frankly, there are too many of these “my ship has a better chance than yours” comments going around, and it’s not fun to read.
Um
Hello!
You’re WRONG!
The writers are very aware that their solid fanbase is mainly women, we’ve even had a character that embodies that to the extreme in Becky Rosen. I’m sure Sterek is a great ship, and I fully support you guys and hope it becomes canon.
If it can make a good story line, and if it fits the characters GREAT!!!
But PLEASE do not make the Supernatural cast or writers out to be bigots just because they don’t want to make a fanon ship canon.
They play to the audience sometimes with fanservice, and they are very supportive of the fanfic and fanart communities for wincest, destiel, and everything else. Supernatural had never been a show with the main characters in a romantic relationship, and that’s what it boils down to.
Don’t spread misinformation and hate.
They didn’t ‘laugh’ at a girl for talking about bisexuality at a con. They politely asked her NOT to ask shipping questions, because they had answered SO many previously and they wanted questions about the PLOT.
I didn’t mean to offend anyone by saying Stiles and Derek have a better chance at becoming canon. It’s just that the writers and the cast have actually addressed the ship and bisexuality while Supernatural still hasn’t. It was probably stupid of me to reach out to you guys for help, but as much as I love Dean and Castiel, I don’t think the writers have ever given any signs that they would make them canon. And as for the con part– It was the first question of the day. Jensen even says “Come on, the first question?” so no, they hadn’t answered too many questions about ships.
But at previous cons, that had been what it was all about.
And he had just asked not to ask shipping questions.
And I do not ship Destiel, and do not want it to become canon. And the reason Supernatural hasn’t addressed Dean’s bisexuality is because it is fanon; not canon. It has been said that he is straight, both from the writer’s mouths, the creators mouths, and in character in the show.
But yeah. The possibility of your ship being canon is a stupid reason to vote. As you can see, canon ships aren’t doing so hot on the list here friend.
See, you’ve just said yourself that there’s no chance of Dean and Castiel ever becoming canon. So why not help a ship that actually has a chance of becoming canon win so they’ll get more attention from the writers? Just for the sake of winning a poll?
Because I don’t think a poll will get the attention of any writers? And I don’t like the idea of forcing anyone into making something canon just because people really want it.
Besides. Just because a ship is canon doesn’t suddenly make it good. I love my OTP but I know it will never be canon. I still think it’s the best and most loving ship on the list.
It’s just kinda rude to use this tactic to try to sway people in general.
Sad, too , because I WAS pulling for you guys.
It usually does because Teen Wolf isn’t such a big show, it’s from a small network. We wouldn’t be forcing anyone to make it canon, it would just be a way of showing how much we like them. Plus, it wouldn’t be just because we want it, the characters do have a lot of chemistry together.
It wasn’t a tactic, I was simply asking for help and I’m sorry if I offended you.
Hi sorry to interrupt, but I really don’t think it’s right to be asking the Destiel shippers to forgo their own ship and vote for the competing one. I’m a Sterek shipper myself and I do want them to win, and I do sort of get what you’re going on about, but this isn’t the right way mate. Shippers should vote for what they ship, and not for another ship just because there’s a chance of it becoming canon.
I’m holding out hope for Sterek becoming canon yes, but this poll isn’t for that, it’s for showing our love for the ships we support. If some Destiel shippers happen to love Sterek and vote, that’s up to them! We’ll take all the love we can get.
I’m doubting you’re a Sterek shipper, because I haven’t met a Sterek fan that would go to such lengths of creating tension between the 2 ships. I hope you aren’t just posting these comments to create more negativity here on purpose?
That being said I hope I don’t come across as ganging up on you, it’s just that I don’t want this blown out of proportion. I hope I’m not offending anyone.
Re: the con and bisexuality question, apparently it had more to do with the crowd at the J2 panel being bigots. The other con-goers boo’d the woman before she could even ask her question, from the moment she said “as a bisexual” and the ‘first question’ was apparently addressed to the crowd being hostile, not the woman.
Also convention staff have confirmed that Jensen has never banned shipping or any other type of questions; none of the guests at the conventions have (although fans self regulate, so there hasn’t actually been much in the way of ‘shipping’ questions asked anyway, contrary to widespread misinformation). However because that J2-crowd was so hateful, questions were heavily moderated and subjects banned from some cons by the convention organizers (again, not by the guests like Jensen and Jared) for fear of more homophobia and jeering.
Are you serious?
How do you know if Destiel has a smaller chance of being canon than Sterek or not?
Destiel has PLENTY of chances to be canon as well, so I will fight for the ship I care about.
Sorry.
Sorry to add more to this but the point of this poll isn’t about making a ship canon??? It’s about showing how much you love that pairing regardless of how good their chances at becoming canon on. I realize you probably don’t intend to be rude (though I kind of wonder if you’re a troll trying to make the Sterek fandom look bad, like we have in the Destiel fandom), and I sympathize with your wanting Sterek to be canon. As a Destiel shipper, it is literally the most frustrating thing in the world to see all the potential and material for canon already there in the script and have the writers just ignore it completely. So yeah, I kind of see where you’re coming from, but I have a feeling you didn’t really think before posting this, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re not a troll. I feel that asking Destiel shippers to vote for Sterek just because it may be canon (and like people have said, you have no way of knowing the fate of either ship) is insulting to both Sterek and Destiel fans who have been working their ass off voting. Because I’m pretty sure the Sterek fandom doesn’t want to win just because they got the “it’s going to be canon” pity of the Destiel fandom. That’s like saying the Sterek fandom can’t win on their own and have to rely on cheap tricks to get the opposing party to help them. And it’s offensive to the Destiel shippers, because it’s like telling them that all the hard work they’ve put into the poll (despite all the crap we’ve endured lately that has some of us 9000% done with everything) is meaningless and they should suddenly give up and vote for the pairing they’ve been battling against. Sterek and Destiel are both big ships, both highly beloved, and the writers are already aware of their fanbases. I don’t think a poll is going to increase the chances of a ship being canon by that much, to be honest. Anyway, the point of the poll is showing love for your OTP. Also, the whole “my ship has a better chance of being canon so please vote for it” kind of implies that one ship is more worthy of winning just because it’s canon (which is not true because there are plenty of terrible canon ships out there). I doubt you meant it like that, but there are people who will take it in a more condescending way. I want Destiel to be canon, and I’m not optimistic that it will (though I’ll never give up fighting for it and hoping), but that’s not why I’m voting. I’m voting Destiel day and night because I love this pairing and it’s worth fighting to prove that love. You should vote Sterek if you love Sterek, and Destiel if you love Destiel. 🙂 Don’t vote for something you don’t ship, vote for what you love. After all, that’s in the spirit of this poll. I don’t ship Sterek, and I haven’t even finished S3A of TW, but I hope that both pairings can become canon. They certainly have the fanbase to do so.
Sorry but if this was a race and our ships were althletes you wouldn’t ask us to let you win just cuz’ you have a better shot at going to the olympics, would you? No, b/c its really bad sportsmanship…
what seriously? Destiel has as much as a chance becoming canon as your ship and that’s really insulting to say about our ship considering the amount of work the fandom has pushed behind it. It was never stated that Dean was straight, for sure, as a few writers have said otherwise (about the flirting scene with the guy), including things that have been done in the show itself. Why does it seem like the only hate around here that is okay is the one against the destiel fandom? They didn’t laugh at it, the crowd boo’d because it was a J2 crowd, and those people speak for themselves. they have treated our ship with respect and if you think otherwise, then you need to actually pay attention and go look out for the things that have been said and done. one writer was pretty much like nah because they had no idea what they were talking about, that was even cleared up a few hours after the tweet or so.
VOTE FOR TRUE LOVE THAT DEFIES HEAVEN, HELL, AND PURGATORY! (destiel)
this should be our battle cry lol….
on a serious note, this is a poll to show and express how much we love a pair to be together, it is about love then why the hate???
and wincest shippers pls don’t think all destiel fans are same… we do think of you as part of the family just as much as we think of any crobby, adamandriel, sabriel, balifer, micalifer shipper to be family (there is so many ships in our fandom i can’t even remember them all, ah well)… we can’t all be same as families consist of different individuals….
guys, stop hassling the awesome admin….
Bit confused why people keep saying “destiel shippers get VERY nasty.” A majority of them are very lovely people and I have seen no nastiness from them. Nor from Sterek fans.
They come from a nasty place from the spn fandom that hates misha collins, castiel, destiel and practically the whole universe except themselves. Don’t pay attention to them. They have a lot of different names but they are always reduced to the same 20 persons…
Every ship has it’s anti-groups who enjoy starting wank/rumors. It says more about a person who chooses to judge a large group of people based on the actions of a few than it does about that group itself. Destiel shippers, like Sterek shippers, like Johnlock shippers, like ANY group of shippers has a diverse group of people. Anyway, Thanks for saying we’re lovely. It’s been my experience that overall, my fellow D/C shipmates are wonderful, creative, and – yes – lovely people, too. 🙂
Been voting Destiel and lurking on the comments page for several days now. I just want to say, while the comments section has gotten a bit heated recently, for the most part I’ve been so happy with all the loving comments! And congrats to Sterek for giving us a SERIOUS run for our money…. Obviously I want Destiel to win, but if you beat us, hats off to you. I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff about Stiles recently, and it’s really making me want to watch Teen Wolf, so maybe soon I’ll understand this ship you all are so passionate about!
Wow! it’s incredible that Sterek has come so far that it’s competing so closely w/ Destiel. I love Destiel but I gotta admit, Sterek pulled ahead in my heart <3
As someone who had been following this poll from the beginning I am really upset about how the comments have taken a turn. Earlier it was all friendship and understanding between the ship but now there’s hostility. People are accusing eachother of botting. There’s ship slandering. People pretending to be other ships just to give them a bad name and all other kinds of rudeness. I get emails everytime that there’s a comment& now I don’t even want to read them. I feel so sorry for the admin Angel. I give you props for trying to keep everything civil. ♡
Just a few points, if you’ll indulge me.
The first is that you Sterek shippers are awesome. I’m diligently and happily voting for Destiel, but your dedication, passion, and attitude are truly wonderful. It’s been a joy (albeit an exhausting one) to participate in this poll with you.
The second is that I admire the passion of the other ships as well. So many of you voting your fingers off out of love!
The third is aimed at my fellow SPN fans. Ours is a fairly old and complex fandom. We have many differing viewpoints and often strong emotional attachments to those viewpoints. I’ve witnessed both good and bad behavior on all sides. I’ve seen good things turn ugly fast; often with most participants behaving in an understandable way, but the main culprit is almost always generalizing. “Destiel shippers are bullies!” is not the same statement as “A Destiel shipper said hurtful things to me”. “Wincesters are sabotaging us out of hate!” is not the same statement as “Someone who seems to be a Wincester is behaving badly”. I hope I expressed this correctly, because really, just, “Peace”.
The fourth is that I just saw a rerun of The Daily Show episode with a segment on LGBTQ views in Russia. Mostly depressing (though I know that that most of our countries were in the same unfortunate place not too long ago), but this one Russian Lady just really made me love the human race again. She ended an eloquent response about supporting gay rights so that she could look her grandchildren in the eyes proudly with a quote from the show Angel. “If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.” Words to live by.
I feel the need to talk about the ship who can beat them all Destiel/Sterek. That, ladies and gents, THAT’S MY SHIP ! Really, think about it. Our two fandoms together could take over the world. It would be awesome. 🙂
Sastiel is above Wincest! :,)
5th place oh wow I’m cry
Jimlock and Johnlock are so tough tho ugh XD Come on Sassy!
Proud of you Sastiel! xD
Congratulations, Sassy shippers!
OMG HOW DID JIMLOCK CATCH UP SO FAST
*votes repeatedly for johnlock*
I was conflicted over which pairing to pick, Destiel or Sterek?
I eventually picked Sterek, not so much because I like it more, but because I reaaally don’t want Jeff Davis to forget about Sterek or try to phase it out (although with the cookies and wolf reservation donation, that’s not too likely).
Why not just pick both? You can. You can even vote more than once. 🙂
I WAS going to pick both, but then I saw how they were both so far ahead of all the other pairings, I just picked ONE (and some JohnLock on the side :))
i’m a little disappointed at how little love the other pairings are getting, it almost makes this not fun with how easily one of my two favorites will win.
Go DESTIEL and STEREK, I’ll be happy with either one of you guys.
Yes! I was also first conflicted, but then I remembered how many polls Destiel won already, and how little Sterek did, so I voted for them… I just want us Sterek fans to have “proof” of our want for the ship, one that we can show to Jeff and he can’t say anything about it…
yea thats a big part of why i am voting for sterek. I want this to be shown to jeff. so he can see we are still here and very much in demand..he did say that enough people wanted it..it could happen after all.
I ship and adore STEREK however I think the chances of it becoming canon are nil. On Wolf Watch Jeff indicated that four of the five mains had ongoing stories into season 4. Stiles, Scott Lydia have been mentioned in the cast of season 4. Dylan O’Brien is in the running for the lead in ‘Glimmer’ and they’ve said they’ll delay filming to fit in with Teen Wolf. Jeff also said he wanted more scenes between ALLISON and Gerard with whom he wants to develop a Hannibal Lecter-type relationship. That is unlikely to transpire in the remainder of 3b. Of Derek he mentioned his ‘mentor’ role, which is happening now, he did NOT mention his continuing to season 4. I fear Derek is about to die in a blaze of glory, whether permanently or a Disney death remains to be seen. I HOPE I’m wrong.
GO STEREK!
Just don’t let it be Derek or stiles or his papa. Nooooo!
I had a similar struggle when I noticed Sterek was on here as well as Destiel, which had been my original intention. 😛 I actually chose the other one to vote for (Destiel) though, also not because I love it more, but more because I feel like Jeff Davis will make Sterek happen, or at least is more likely to. He seems a hell of a lot more open to it that the Spn writers are to Destiel, despite the amount of subtext, so I figured they’d need more convincing. 😛 I don’t think (or at least I hope not!) that Jeff will screw Sterek over, after the hints and developement that’s gone into it. :3
After “Blue is pretty” and every scene but one in the last episode and MTV urging on #moresterek on Twitter I feel like right now I want to shower Jeff in motivation.
Because, for one thing, if MTV does it first, and it works, then network television is a lot more likely to take a chance on it.
Years of destiel polls haven’t gotten us anywhere. In one sense I feel like the obvious popularity of both pairings and the fact that I hope fans of either get to enjoy both instead of looking at it as a contest in the long run. But right now it’s like the SPN writers played with my heart too many times and I don’t want ‘destiel’ to be a taboo word at conventions. :\ I used to post so many destiel pictures a day…now I’m mostly on my Teen Wolf blog (…and writing Steter vs. Sterek; although I intended that to be a break from my Mooseley fic, arg).
BUT…Teen Wolf is about caught up to Supernatural in ratings. Off network television. And one of the things that’s mobilized that? Talking shipping, engaging with fans, Crystal Reed asking in a clip during a marathon “Stiles and Deucalion shippers call their ship ‘Stallion’………you just wanted a cool name…..right?” (This is a teenager played by a 22 year old and a werewolf of unknown age played by a 41 year old actor, for context for everyone else.) It’s normalized. It’s a teasing, fun environment. People are entering it and discovering this great interchange rather than standoff.
So now I’m thinking, hey, SPN, look at these guys doing the thing and it’s exploding. I seriously think Sterek is positive pressure for Destiel. Like, maybe we could all laugh and joke around a little more in the SPN fandom. *cough*
Woohoo! Go Destiel! 🙂 So proud of our fandom for doing so well in the polls!
Go destiel!!!! I am sooo happy. My fellow destiel shippers are awesome:))
I have a feeling this article has given a boost to the spirits of Destiel shippers 😉
http://www.tvguide.com/PhotoGallery/TV-Couples-Shouldnt-1077532/1077544
Go Destiel!
OHMYGOD.
This is beautiful! I think it might be the key to making Sterek/Destiel shippers lean more towards Destiel this time.
Wow this is intense! My ship Destiel is ahead right now but I would never relax, I know the Sterek shippers are formidable! This is like competing in an Olympic event. I’m exhausted but I will never give up until we’re at the finish line. 🙂 Sterek shippers made me watch Teen Wolf and fall in love with beauty of Sterek. If you weren’t up against my all time OTP Destiel, I’d vote with you guys. You’re all lovely! And rest assured I’m talking for the Destiel fandom. I’m very involved in it and I see the talk that goes on both openly and in closed groups. Absolutely nobody has suspected Sterek of botting or breathed a word against you whatsoever. Both of our ships have haters trying to psych us from the sidelines, but I know that when this epic race is over we’ll fall into each other’s arms, no matter who wins. Destiel ♥ Sterek!
“Competing in an Olympic event.”
That is the greatest description of these polls I’ve ever read. Ever. IT’S SO TRUE.
Destiel♥Sterek♥
I am sterek shipper and after I had read your post, I need to start watching Supernatural. Seem like a good deal to enjoy shinny destiel even my otp is sterek!
Jesus, guys. Sterek and Destiel fans are going crazy! It’s fantastic!
I’m voting for both of them each time I vote. No one ever said it was wrong to love both!! ;D
Is this the last round?
In the spoilers, Dylan promised ‘deep’ Sterek scenes. If you wanted a motivation (one more), there it is ! 😀 GOOO STEREK !! 😀 (I love Destiel too but the death thing in TW makes me want to vote Sterek all the way for this poll T_T)
After reading Dylan’s comment, I felt like I could pull all nighter.
i know he motivated me too!
can you please tell me where to find that Dylan’s comment? I am soo shipping these two but I’m not really good in finding stuff. btw, I made video about them to warm our Sterek hearts 🙂 youtube.com/watch?v=-76354_O95I
Thank you so much dear Sterek friends 🙂
It always comes down to Sterek and Destiel on these polls. Sterestiel for the win – superwolf is all I need in life 😀
Yeah ! I need to go read some AU… after the poll is closed. 😉
SUPERWOLF that’s great! ♥
So, let me just verify… this poll closes Saturday night at 11:59, correct?
sterek shippers are seriously the alphas of the fandom. an hour or so ago, we were SOO behind.
i know! i wish jeff would see it and offically make it cannon
Or at least have more Stiles and Derek scene, and not force either to got girls.
There have been, without hyperbole, no two characters in ~18 years of fandom that have made me feel like Derek and Stiles make me feel.
Both the characters were there from the beginning so they sparked from all different angles. They’ve changed as people so dramatically over only three seasons and a substantial part of that has been the ways they changed each other.
Stiles especially taught Derek how to trust and has physically been there with him with Derek’s life in his hands (at the clinic, in the pool, in the elevator) even when Stiles was aggro, to say the least, toward the guy in the first season. Derek has thrown himself bodily in the way of Stiles, he’s gone to bat for him (and never won a fight in his life, tsk), but now we’re seeing Derek working ceaselessly to repay those long haul efforts, even going out and fixing Stiles’ Jeep when he couldn’t get a lead on a way to make things right. So Stiles would be able to drive it again. Because Derek will not allow for the possibility of losing him.
Not only that, there’s Derek joking around with him with that little smirk and the charm over Stiles doubting how strong he is, and look…his face is moving! at the scene with the glove and other places. After fiddling with the lock as early as the first season, Stiles at last unlocked the chastity belt on Derek’s eyebrow movement.
None of this to underplay the quiet building of Scott and Derek’s brotherhood, or Stiles and Scott having the most intimate male friendship I’ve seen written on television without a ‘no homo’ in sight, breaking me down into tears. (There was, quite to the contrary, “And I also gotta say that this new-found heroism is making me very attracted to you.”)
Most shows stick to tropish characters so that viewers who tuned out for awhile can tune back in and still know exactly what’s going on. Teen Wolf has magnificent character writing, and you can recognize Stiles and Derek as the two characters that met in episode one and at the same time see where they’ve not just written in each other’s margins but crossed out bad material and added pages in the narrative of each other’s lives.
That has power, and it’s worked its way into an emotional place for me.
Love your comment and feel the same ways.
“Stiles at last unlocked the chastity belt on Derek’s eyebrow movement.” << this made me lol so hard!
this is how johnlock makes me feel <3333
I used to know a thing called sleep. Not anymore. We’ve still got a lot of hours to go but I know all the wonderful Sterek shippers can bring it.
Let’s do this!
I think I used to do the thing you’re talking about. “Sleeping”, is it ? Seems nice… After this poll, I hope they will not open another one for the next six months… My eyes will start bleeding at this rate 😛 But we can do it !
sleep is for pussy lets vote on sterek
You guys vote it like a champs! No rest till sterek win the race!
No…sleep…till…
Ahh. Actually, no sleep. And I can keep voting during the Sweden vs Switzerland game.
Sterek! (♥ω♥ ) ~♪
Go Sterek!
SO PROUD OF THE TW FANDOM LOOK AT STEREK AND SCISAAAAAC! THIS IS SO INTENSE I MIGHT PEE.
Destiel!
Even I am big on Sterek but I am really admire both Sterek and Destiel shippers, we work so hard for our famdom!
Go, Sterek! Show the world how awesome we are and hope for Jeff to realised that he can’t ignore us, we are heavy base of Teenwolf’s popularity!
So I received this error message:
“We have received too many votes from you. You will be unblocked after a cooling off period.”
My understanding is that voting is unlimited for this poll. I’ve been voting continuously for my ship, but now I cannot continue. If there is some kind of restriction, please state it upfront, else I cannot say it is a fair poll. And how long is this “cooling off” period?
I haven’t gotten that message, but I know that usually polldaddy polls will block you for a while if you’re voting too fast and seem like an automatic bot. The cooling off period is usually an hour, but in the Backlot slash poll it was often longer.
It’s over an hour now, but I’m still blocked. This is really frustrating. 🙁
You might have to clear your cookies. That solved the problem a lot of times during Backlot slash madness. Also it’s an hour after the last time you pressed vote or checked the results. A lot of people in the other poll were constantly checking results, not realizing that they were extending the cooling off period because polldaddy was still picking up the IP as participating. It didn’t happen to everybody but there were quite a few complaints about it in the Backlot’s comment section.
Oh, I didn’t know that. Thank you!
i got the same message! I was disappointed in it and hope that it won’t be too long, because all I was doing is refreshing and voting and re-voting as I read that it was “unlimited” and then got a message accusing me of “suspicious behaviour” 🙁
I’ve been voting non-stop for Sterek and haven’t gotten a message, but Kat’s right that the message appeared during The Backlot poll alot. The admin’s there just said that polldaddy has the period if the votes are fast or seem automated. It wasn’t anything too serious and after an hour or so you were allowed to vote again.
Apparently, you cannot vote too fast. 🙁
This is a polldaddy spam prevention measure. We unfortunately have no control over it. Polldaddy also doesn’t say how exactly it’s set up, but I’ve heard that you need to wait 10 seconds between votes.

Good to know. Though I have to say, my server kind of ensures that’s going to happen. *laugh* Some people have MUCH faster connections than I do.
Destiel, go! We can!
3 hours ago, i was surpised to see destiel up by nine thousand votes and was fearing bots. Now i see them lagging by nine thousand. So in a matter of 3 hours sterek got 18000 votes. I am not accusing of bots. I am really happy if both fandoms are really going all out. But some times the votes diference make this seem less fun than what it is supposed to be, because the gain and losses in votes verges on unreal. Sorry if anyone including the admin is upset with my opinion.
Big groups of people in both fandoms are voting from different timezones, so it naturally goes back and forth during the course of the day. And every time a rallying post or something is made in one of the fandoms, it causes a surge of votes. Polldaddy has measures in place to counteract botting (measures that err on the side of caution, if anything – as you can see from comments above they are inflicted on perfectly innocent voters who are just a little too quick), and also the geekiary moderator is keeping a very close eye on voting and IP numbers. I don’t think you need to worry about bots.
That time zone and no sleeping…. now I am a zombie. But anything for Stetek.
This /\
But I just missed at work today. I got a day off and then … here I am!
# Sterek
Just an insane amount of people voting on BOTH sides, in different time zones. They do posts and such and you’ll see the ‘troops rallying’, etc. Don’t underestimate the number or the insane level of devotion of fans. 😉
hi .. what time does this poll close uk time ??? thanx xxx
Go, Sterek!
We are the champions – my friend
And we’ll keep on fighting till the end (c) Queen
Although I ship Destiel like no ones business, I wouldn’t mind seeing Sterek win because last year there wasn’t a poll that Destiel didn’t win so I think we’ve made our point that there is a large number of shippers but maybe it’s time to let Sterek make their point and instead of making it turn nasty of either of them win to just be happy for the other ship.
I also have to say I’m quite impressed with the Sterek shippers. now I’ve done my research and it is clear there are less Sterek shippers than Destiel (by looking at posts, blogs, other polls, tv rating etc) but they have managed to get a good bit ahead and I have to say that is impressive.
So as much as it would be nice if Destiel won I’m still going to be happy for the Sterek shippers. 🙂
So I’ve literally been voting nonstop for destiel by just refreshing the page and re-voting, and apparently I’ve “voted too many times” and have been blocked for a short amount of time to “cool off”, but then it said that I’ve been marked for suspicious behaviour! Ah! I just want to make sure that it’s clear that literally all I’ve done is just vote and re-vote and re-vote and re-vote, just FYI :s No bots or anything 🙁

Shoutout to those ~10 Dean/Cas shippers voting right now. You lovely, non-sleeping Angels, you. <3
im wokring on a sterek video. so i am up and rearing to go and vote as i eddit.
Repeatly voting for sterek, hope no one think we use bot. I am so sleepy but we need to show our love and devoting!
you can do it fellow sterek voter! It ends tomorrow so we have to vote our hearts out
I’m an Aussie here for the long haul tonight waiting til the Americans wake back up. So great to see Sterek so motivated right now. I’ve had three different voting posts on my dash and I hope that keeps people coming.
Mexican right here voting for sterek, I also think I saw a Brazilian voting for sterek too?
Yeah!
Brasil is voting for sterek.
We love them and after spoilers of 3B, I think that our shipp is in a hurry to show to Jeff, that we have what takes do make sterek canon!
Yes!!
Brazil is back on the floor!
C’mon Sterek fans!
And Australia’s still here!
Sterek fans are getting all international up in this place 😉
So cool!
OMG!
That’s so funny!
It is the first time that I interact with people from so many different countries.
Love for a ship doing wonderful things!
#Sterek
And I’m Sterek’s fans from Indonesia. I think Australia is the closest one to my country for Sterek’s fellows here. Or is there anyone from the same country or Asia? It’s really hard to find friends who have high passion of Sterek here 🙁
hi neighbor! I’m a Sterek fan from Philipines!
wow awesome
hello to neighbor!!
Hey guys! Voting here from Italy! 😀 Sterek fans all around the world wow! 🙂
Just goes to show that Sterek fans really are worldwide! So cool!
And I’m not so sure if there are plenty of Sterek fans here in pH, though the LGBT community here are rapidly gaining recognition, most people here do not even know what Teenwolf is, let alone Sterek. Same goes for Destiel and Spn. Very sad, i Know.
But still, I try to make up for the lack of knowledge of my countrymen, that means I’ve gotta vote vote vote and vote till this poll is finished or i drop dead from exhaustion. Whichever comes first. 😀
me and my sister started watching supernatrual about..4 seasons in. We finished all in two weeks..it was pretty good..but after awhile it lost its charm ..that i liked about it..I used to love how they fought a new monster every episode…but than after the angel arch came..it was mostly just them fighting the same people and i lost intrest..but than i found teen wolf and i was like yes!!!!!!!!! teen wolf is so nostalgic to an old show i used to watch as a kid called big wolf on campus..only much darker.
It’s a little bit strange that Sterek is now winning by over 15000 votes? I mean I know it’s a popular ship but it and Destiel have always been so close in numbers (by the hundreds) and suddenly they’re streaking ahead?
Please don’t do this. It’s rude to the shippers who’ve been voting for their ship, even if you don’t mean it as an accusation.
Destiel pulled ahead earlier and now Sterek got a second wind, that’s it.
Don’t get discouraged and keep voting for the ship you like. 🙂
I replied to this but didn’t realize that if you put more than one link in a comment that it requires moderation. So I’ll post them separately http://torakodragon.tumblr.com/post/76157426364/torakodragon-did-you-guys-know-about-this-poll That post has hit my dash a few times in the past few hours.
http://sinyhale.tumblr.com/post/76550778945/valentines-shipping-poll-round-2-vote-sterek This post has also started going around in the last few hours.
http://jdthegiftontherocks.tumblr.com/ And this tumblr is devoted to doing nothing but posting a voting reminder every hour in the tags.
Sterek fans have gotten organized in the last few hours. That’s all. No doubt Destiel will do the same before this poll is over.
I have been doing nothing but voting for the 3 teen wolf ships and learning how many different comedies on Netflix my friends recommended that I do not enjoy since midnight and it is 4 AM. This may break me psychologically but not my Valentine’s Day spirit!
I think I’m gonna watch Family Guy or something. Luckily, soon, I will be voting as Sweden beats Switzerland in hockey. Like I said above, I’ve never felt this way about a show or its characters and I do fandom like its my job. I’ve been worried somebody from another ship has been running a bot to get us disqualified but then I saw the amazing support down here. I hope more than anything else it’s the rest of us feel the same way. xoxoxo
[Note: The voting will not break me psychologically. Disliking so many television shows in a row will. The voting sustains me. 😐 ]
DO NOT DO THIS. DON’T. I am getting tired of my inbox being flooded with messages like this. Just stop.
-Admin Angel
Why is there so many comments on how /weird/ it is that Sterek is winning atm? When Destiel is, it’s not weird, but when it’s us, it must be the cheating?
I don’t get it, you can’t just say that there’s more Destiel shippers, cause /of course/ for you there’s more. And maybe there’s, i really don’t care about that much, but using that argument is really weak.
So yeah, can we just end this poill without all those stuff, cause it has been really nice so far and I would love for it to stay that way.
Of course it’s weak because it’s no argument, they’re just some peeps who want Destiel and Sterek shippers to fight. Happens in every poll unfortunately, so I, for one, I’m very glad for this site’s rules about rude comments.
Nevertheless, I apologize for the fandom and wish you luck.
I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s only when Destiel are behind that the botting accusations start. Nothing was mentioned when they were ahead. But it’s only a few frustrated shippers (as annoying as they are) and the rest of the Destiel fandom are being great and voting like crazy.
Don’t let a bad few distract you.
I know right? Trolls these days can’t even bother for creativity, so sad. Same messages all the polls, for years now I believe.
They could try to put a real bot for Destiel and get us disqualified, or something else new and daring but no; I found this routine stale when it first started, now it’s just pathetic… ;P
Putting a bot on Destiel to get it disqualified would also disqualify Sterek. Admin has already said that if either Destiel or Sterek get disqualified, the poll is ended and 3rd place gets announced as the winner. I don’t think anybody would do it.
I was just kidding around. 😉
Sorry, I forget sometimes that my sense of humor is not for public consumption. But to clarify: I don’t want anyone to put a bot anywhere.
hey fellow destiel shipper!
read my posts, i have written a few to you about tumblr don’t wanna waste time repeating… XD
scroll all the way down pg
Ah, sorry, sorry! It was at the end, didn’t know it was for me.
I’m very sorry, lovely shipper, but I don’t have a tumblr. You know someone with my name?
no, no one has your name…. I just thought I’d get you to go over to tumblr coz from your posts i could see your destiel shipper…. do you know anyone who can go on tumblr for us as my tumblr is not working….
Ok then, um, the ones I know on tumblr have noticed already or been notified.
Don’t worry, I think we are waking up slowly but surely. 🙂
Try to have fun and happy valentines!
to all the shippers all the best and vote your heart
WELP i have posted on twiter,tumblr,youtube,archive o our own..and facebook. hopefully its ennough
Am I the only one who just really likes the idea of Scott/Isaac?
oh wow, sterek shippers have been busy….. I should not have slept…..
destiel shippers, where art thou??? if we have to lose, which i sure hope we don’t, then at least make it a close one…. spnfamily loves sleeping too much i think….
GET VOTING FOR DESTIEL!!!!!!!
OMG, all of you voting for Sterek are so awesome 🙂
Wonder how many votes are coming from Tyler “I sure love stiles a hell of a lot” Hoechlin 😛
Your Sterek fics are amazing! (I’m assuming that you have the same name on ao3).
Tyler Hoechlin is definitely the biggest Sterek fan out there. I swear he gets a little disappointed when people don’t ask him about. But he often finds a way to bring Sterek or Stiles up 😉
I had watched TH interview and blush everytime he talked about Dylan. He was like, Dylan is very excellent actor and so funny. And Dylan was like, TH is so hot, Omg, look at his 200 pounds pure muscle, gotta lick that!
Hobrien is so on the ship, us fangirls live in heaven.
Freaking hell, why does this mean so much to me that DESTIEL win or at least don’t lose so badly…..
PouncingMinion, go back and read posts from a ‘MIKE’, the sterek shippers have got so much done for this but it feels like we are letting our hunter and angel down….
Everyone lets them down… Ah hell, I am already depressed with all that is happening in SPN and I don’t need a loss to add to it…
When is the poll closing, tomorrow night or tonight???
Hi there Destiel shipper.
I’m not sure what time zone you’re in, but the poll closes Saturday February 15 at 11.59pm EST. Which is about 42 1/2 hours away (I think. Maths is not my strength.)
I’m sure you’ll be keeping it close with us in no time. I know how passionate the Destiel fandom can be.
Good luck from a tired Sterek shipper 🙂
Thanks Mike!
and good luck to you all sterek shippers too, you might actually win this time and if we were to lose, I can’t find a better opponent to lose against….. XD
Thanks!
I think we’ve only ever beaten Destiel twice – the first slash madness poll and the last big eonline non-canon couples poll – so I’m hoping we can get a third. But I know that the Destiel fandom is gonna make it pretty tough for us. With so many hours left I can just feel that damn SPN army amassing 😉 Hopefully we can hold you back a little.
Good luck!
you’ll need to call upon Gandalf for that! 😉
ANOTHER THING I WANNA SAY WHICH IS NOT REALLY RELATED TO THIS POLL BUT I DARE ANYONE ON THIS SITE TO WATCH DESTIEL INTERACTIONS AND TELL ME IF IT ISN’T THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER -AND I MEAN EVER IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER- TOLD IN ALL OF CREATION…..
I TOTALLY DARE YOU ALL….
I will check out sterek for you all….
Check Hobrien (Dylan and Tyler) vid out! You will died from fluffyness and UST.
seen the interview and yes they r awesome… and tis very fluffy and feels inducing….. but we are voting ships here of the fandom not the actors XD (cockles are very fluffy too, mind you)
One thing I definitely want is networks not to be afraid to explore chemistry that appears between characters of the same sex and/or gender. As a long time SPN fan somehow Sterek bowled me over, and right now is such a vital time for us in terms of long term prospects. The communication between the cast and crew, MTV, and the fans is just so blissful and MTV gave support for #moresterek trending worldwide a couple weeks ago.
The thing is if sterek OR destiel go canon just one show showing that can happen or work is great for all of us.
Hmm, the thing that really sold me when I started watching the series at episode 3×05 was actually being blown away by the relationship between Stiles and Scott. I’d just never seen a male friendship written that realistically or intimately. And I was hooked.
—-
Stiles and Derek have a lot of little interactions over time, but their first episode they carry together 1×04, “Magic Bullet”, is a ton of fun. When people first recced me ‘sterek’ episodes and I watched them in a row out of context it didn’t really ‘click’ for me, but as I kept watching Season 3 I became…emotionally attached. It seems like it’s the nuanced reactions between the crises where they feel each other out at new stages of their relationship that are the glue.
Otoh, for people who’ve never seen Supernatural I’m one of those naughty fans that says “Ahhhh, just put on the first episode of Season 4!” (And it happens to be when Dean and Castiel meet, so you’re golden.) I feel like the show really found its tone and a consistent pace then like is happening with S3 of Teen Wolf, even though I love the early years of SPN and they were vital to my life.
—-
What you said though, I have to reflect the two pairings can’t really be compared. One is a match made in Heaven, a rescue from Hell, two soldiers wearing battle scars uncovering humanity and compassion in each other. They grow closer on the battlefield under fire, taking heat, sharing victories and standing shoulder to shoulder.
The other is a story earthy and gritty about two young men out of their depth plunged into circumstances beyond their control who have to learn to accommodate each other’s flaws or die. Their greatest bonding moments are elemental and when they’re at their weakest, body rotting, Derek throwing himself between Stiles and a werewolf he doesn’t have a single chance at fighting, paralysis, an unconscious body on an elevator floor, an eroding identity.
And the world takes both kinds. xoxoxo
Does anyone have the admin’s email?

HAPPY VALENTINES!
Whoah mad props to you sterek shippers, the last time I checked we had a good 2k lead, now we’re like 12k behind 😮
Almost to 1000 thousand comments shippers! I wonder what the record is?
I’m voting Sterek and i have the feeling someone just ran a bot to get this ship disqualified and whoever’s doing this neEDS TO STOP
If they did it’s over. The Mod said if either Destiel or Sterek had a bot both were out and the ship in third would be the winner. But I really hope you’re wrong because I haven’t moved in seven hours to vote on this and that’s just to day so I really hope someone didn’t just waste all of our time.
I’m not being funny but there is definitely cheating going on here. They’ve jumped ahead thousands of votes in such a little space, oh very realistic. -.- c’mon it’s pretty obvious the same happened in after elton’s poll and they fixed it.
i think we are just being lazy…..
sterek shippers are way more active today because it seems they have found their motivation……
just keep spreading word and keep voting instead of letting the fandom down and making us all look bad…..
I’m not being lazy, I’ve been voting like hell 🙁 I work 8+ hours everyday and I come home knackered but I still do it. it friggin hurts to see all that effort wasted. like sterek are the only important ship. we mean something too. sterek aren’t the only ship in this world.
I’m sure everyone knows we exist…… we always win everything…… even if we don’t this time at least we did show our love…… look at all those other ships in the poll……. i think sterek fans are younger hence they have weekend advantage of no college/ school etc so they may have more time
Please calm down, last year you won every single poll that Destiel competed in, it’s not like this poll is going to kill you, besides it’s only about the love for our ship and it’s not the only poll out there
пусть стерек победит дэстиель,но мы то знаем,кто лучше с:
тем более,что мы голосовали честно
Destiel shippers!
Stop blaming us! This is not good.
PLEASE STOP ACCUSING PEOPLE OF BOTTING WITHOUT PROOF. Either point me to where people are conspiring or refute the numbers outlined in this post: http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76210674054/hello-shippers
If you can’t do either you are just spreading anger for no reason. Your comment will be deleted and you may be subject to IP ban.
PLEASE STOP RESPONDING TO TROLLS. I’ll delete them as soon as possible.
-Admin Angel
I love both lead pairing with just a little more preference for Sterek but a very little difference, i’m happy for them, they deserve it.
Who remember when the backlot (former afterelton) was shipping Destiel and Sterek, i want to read all the fics of that.
Thanks to the admin to make this place polite and save for the shippers, some ships wars can be ugly.
Go Go Go Destiel/Sterek !!!!!
Come Sterek fans! 😀
Angel, I am not accusing anyone ok….
but, i have a really bad feeling that us destiel and sterek shippers are voting like crazy but last few hrs the third or fourth ship will use a bot so we get disqualified…. I think ANGEL, you should have not let us know that both would be disqualified but then again whose to say one of them wouldn’t have done it anyway….
I think another ship is using a bot on sterek so destiel shippers go crazy mad and we both get disqualified…. I am so sad…. I hope this isn’t the case….. after all this effort……we deserve one of them to win……
I’ve been informed that the third place shippers are doing this, but I haven’t been shown proof. I won’t be disqualifying either Sterek or Destiel. If a bot is happening on either this poll will end in a tie. I still haven’t been shown proof that third place shippers are doing this, but I’ve had enough tipsters in my inbox and verging on suspicious behavior in the poll (the numbers still generally match) that I’m not discounting it. If a bot is detected I will close the poll early and it will be a tie. I won’t let lower placed ships ruin it for either of you.
-Admin Angel
thanks Angel….
you really are an angel to be putting up with all this…. I’d have probably done something by now….
Whether Sterek and Destiel tie or are first and second place, could we get a picture that isn’t Derek slamming Stiles into his door from season 1? They’ve both gotten so much insanely hotter since then. Especially Dylan!
°˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
(I swear it’s the only pic I see; I’m like “But Dylan went through several Pokemon evolutions since then!”)
…hour eight of voting. Sweden and Switzerland one period down and no score. Have discovered never to watch anything anyone I know recommends to me after Netflix marathon. Sterek and Sweden I’m relying on you to wash off the unenjoyable television exposure. (◡‿◡✿)
I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT ABOUT SHERIARTY BEING INCLUDED IN THIS WOW
O,G TELL ME ABOUT IT I SHIP SHERIARTY SO HARD BESIDES STEREK AND IM LIKE SHERIARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
🙁 uh, I’m voting my assbutt off everyday and I went to bed last night we were winning by miles and now suddenly we’re thousands and thousands behind… that’s why I’m upset. I was happy that we were finally getting somewhere, showing that Sterek isn’t the only big ship in the world of fandoms, but apparently I was wrong. Sterek is obviously the winner here, the ‘best’ and we stand no chance against them. The same happens every time and I’m beginning to feel that polls are quite pointless if every time we know who is going to win.
I’m just stating my opinion, tis all.
Opinions are fine. I appreciate you not throwing around accusations of botting. I’m sorry you feel so depressed about it. There’s still more than a day left of this poll, though. It’s not over yet.
-Admin Angel
I am sorry if any of my comments seemed that way, I do have severe depression and when I’m in a dark spot I can’t control how I feel, I know it’s not an excuse but it’s like everything gets boxed in one place; and I’m incapable of seeing any happiness or any differently. Things that used to make me happy well I see the bad instead, through everything.
It’s just who I am. I don’t have the optimism to see this changing.
I think they will win and probably the next poll after this. I’d love to believe that within this next day things could change but I doubt it. I only wish that the show would see the potential they have with Destiel, that we’re not all going mad.
Sometimes feels like we take a few steps forward and several back the only thing that makes me smile is the cockles pie in the face video from Misha.
Please see this post: http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76625682264/regarding-botting
-Admin Angel
Actually Destiel won last time, and a few times before as well. Perhaps this time around the problem is really just that either Sterek shippers networked better or because people have started to get frustrated with Destiel. (I’m assuming that’s what you ship.) I used to ship it really hard but I kind of gave up because of both the massive queerbaiting and the attitude it received from both other fans as well as the cast.
But you shouldn’t give up! There’s still a whole day! Do what the Sterek shippers are doing and make a bunch of posts in the tag, send the link to your friends on Skype! It’s only futile if you let it be :3
That is what upsets me though, how people have given up because of that. I adore Misha because he’s our little guardian angel, he understands us. I don’t like how people say Jensen hates Destiel because there’s no evidence of that. I know some cast members and writers have said things to only take them back after but yeah it seems some get it more than others. Ben Edlund was one of those, there was no character he loved writing about more than Castiel and he appreciated the profound bond I can only imagine if he was still here we’d get a ton more Cas scenes and Destiel scenes.
I know that in the After Elton poll we took a lot of hits from the nastier side of the fandom, we still do in polls I read comments on one and they said ‘f*** off with all this gay shit’ and stuff like that :l
meh :3 i wish, we have tons of posts on Tumblr & Twitter with thousands of reblogs and what not I post the link everyday on my Twitter too, I am trying and getting no where.
Yeah, all gay ships tend to get hits from the nasty sides. When we pointed out the similarities between Jennifer (Derek’s love interest in season 3a) and Stiles, people kept saying that we were delusional. And now that there’s a genuine possibility that Stiles will come out as bisexual on the show, there are people saying that they’ll stop watching. It’s ridiculous. The least we can all do though is try to support each other. I’ll certainly be happy for you guys if you win this one (screw happy, I’ll be freaking ecstatic if you guys win because that would be such a good job!), just as I was happy for you when you won the After Elton poll. Good luck!
Hi Unicorn-who-I-hope-won’t-be-disappointed-soon 🙂
I read your comments and thought about it a little. I am shipping Sterek, because of many (for someone incomprehensible) reasons. It’s my favourite. But at one point, I realize that even if it could be MY otp, it’s not same for others. What you said about Supernatural and your ships… I like it. A lot! It’s not about who you ship or some inter-TV shows battles… It’s about the fact, that this makes up happy 🙂
I once (really, just once…) talked to a person who said: “I hate Supernatural” When I asked why, she said: “Because it’s constantly beating us (Sterek) in every poll and is everywhere! Sterek is better!” And I DIDN’T agree. She didn’t even WATCH Supernatural. She knows nothing about it, she just hated it. Isn’t it weird?
So, I want to thank you, that even when you ship Destiel (is that right?), you don’t openly hate our ship (and whole Teen Wolf). I’m doing the same, I ship mine ships and playing in my own pool, but that doesn’t mean I hate everything else. I have a lot of different ships, and I’m quite sure one day, Supernatural characters will be on my list too (I’m going to watch SN soon!).
I wish there are more people like this. Why is being hater so popular these days? :/
And if are some of that bott-users reading this, I have something for you too:
What’s the point of botting, if your pairing win in a mean, low way? Is that making you happy?
Even if Sterek won’t win, I just will try harder next time. Not plaguing everyone with hate.
I wasn’t really planning on commenting, but I saw this and felt I had to.
Hi! I’m a Destiel shipper too. I just wanted to say, you shouldn’t feel down about this! Even if we do lose (there’s still time yet!), it’s just a poll.
Have you any idea how many polls we win? You say Sterek always wins, but I actually can’t think of a time where they’ve beaten us before. Destiel always wins usually, cheer up 😀
I don’t watch Teen Wolf (yet), but from what I’ve heard… Stiles is now strongly hinted to be bisexual? I think someone asked and he didn’t deny it or something. As Sterek was such a popular ship in the TW fandom anyways, this news must be absolutely amazing, right? So people are probably just really, really excited.
Go watch some Destiely episodes and read some fanfiction, cheer up, hon 🙂
Hey, that’s not totally true! Look at the results right now! We’re not so far behind. We still have a chance 😀 cheer up, mate
But no it’s impossible to beat Sterek now, it’s over. well done to you guys pulling it off like that 🙁 you’re lucky. we just don’t see to have the support like you do.
Honestly, I just think we are better networked. I’m not sure how it is with Supernatural since I left the fandom four seasons ago, but Sterek or Teen Wolf has an especially large fanbase outside of the US. Which is why when you guys go to bed, it’s our time to shine.
Maybe that has something to do with it?
This is usually the case. However the past 3 hours have far outpaced the usual lead. And it’s also overshot our page hit counts which leads me to believe there is, in fact, backdoor botting going on now. It’s not your fault. Please see this post: http://thegeekiary.tumblr.com/post/76625682264/regarding-botting
-Admin Angel
Awww, shit. That is so not cool, whoever is doing it 🙁
Does it continue counting page hits if you’ve already visited? I started refreshing after hitting vote when I thought about it but that’s one IP address for 8 hours.
Both ships are worth celebrating! After all this voting it’s depressing to think of it going to a tie but if it’s a vote off it’d need to start now to cover multiple time zones. So many people voted overnight. 🙁
On the bright side repetitive action settled my massive anxiety attack I had back around 11:00 PM eventually. I have that. 😐
What I meant was, for a long time I was just hitting “Return to Poll” on the poll and not refreshing the page at all. Until the past two hours or so.
yes, refreshing the page still registers as a new visit/page hit. that can’t be used as an excuse to bat away botting – it’s what EVERYONE has been doing consistantly throughout this poll from day one.
you can refresh the page and vote again as many times as you want – that will still register as being fair and legit voting. what Angel k’s saying is that there’s evidence of botting going on, which is computerised voting far outstretching the page hits
I’m not sure about that. I just spent 4 hours voting non-stop for Sterek and reblogging links on Tumblr. I think we’re just motivated and that nothing is settled yet. Destiel can still win this, they have a strong fanbase so that’s no problem on this side. I think my fingers are gonna fall off from voting so much and I know 7 friends who were doing the same as me so… if people I don’t know were at it too… This is not impossible that we took the lead fearly. But good luck, Destiel 😀 (And other than the AfterElton, I don’t remember Sterek winning anything against Destiel.)
I’ve been voting my butt off for sterek for the last few hours and were making such a lead!!! WAY TO GO GUYS! SO PROUD!
cmon guys dont give up yet!!! destiel could still win, we just have to keep trying!!!!!
If someone things about bothing for Sterek just stop that thought right now! Come on guys! We are a huge ship, we are the Alphas and we can win this in a FairPlay game!

I’m just being realistic, we’re not going to close that gap now. Last night there was 4,000 votes Destiel in the lead and suddenly Sterek is winning with a very high gap. It’s suspicious to me, I’m not going to say any more, but there’s no chance of us taking the lead again now. The only way you’d do that is if Misha tweeted about it but he’s not gonna do that either to be honest.
I’m not going to look back here again because it’s just gonna depress me, leaving it at that. Well done Sterek guys, as I’ve said. Maybe one day we can only hope to be as good as you guys. :l

Shame on you:( We are not scammers!
Pleasepleaseplease, don’t tell sterek is boting! They are voting their asses to win this. I am hardcore destiel shipper and I am really sad, yeah, but also amazed by how much effort they make to win this. I don’t really like that show, but sterek fans i saw were very kind and excited! And remeber, its just a poll! If destiel wont win this what will happen?

VOTEVOTEVOTE 😀
Hello everyone. First of all I wanted to say that i loved this poll from day one. It’s been awesome to vote and to fangirl over my ship (sterek) Today is Valentine’s and I just wanted to say that i loved all the ships i knew (tw mostly) and as a Sterek shipper i voted twice for Destiel, because we need to support each other. We’re like brothers, and I love how passionate both of us are.
Don’t use Bots please. We’ve been fair and lovely (at least) for all the time, supporting each other.
Guys spread love, not hate or bots.
♥
destiel fansm you had years and years of winning EVERYTHING. losing a few polls now doesn’t erase that, please stop making mean accusations with no proof when teen wolf fans have done a lot of voting to be winning right now. you still have a great active ship with tons and tons of amazing fans and fanworks, try to focus on that and be positive!
are you SURE Sterek was botted, or just was kicking major butt?? trying to show Destiel there is room for a new ship in this town????
i voted Johnlock, but Destiel is my second in comand :p but im totally hooked on Sterek now, thnx guise.
Sucks that Sterek couldnt win something for once, Destiel always wins it seems and then everyone else couldnt help being sore losers i guess? 🙁 now im sad at my own species
guess we always have next valentines poll to try again FAIR AND SQUARE?!
The amount of votes in the poll suddenly overshot the amount of hits on our site by several thousand. The steady back and forth was suddenly thrown extremely off balance with no legit link back indicating that something large happened somewhere. I’ve also been pointed in the direction of certain third place ships that are actively trying to throw the competition so that they will be declared a winner. They actually bought something to give them anonymous IPs. Unfortunately it looks like Sterek was botted, but not by Sterek shippers.
-Admin Angel
oh no! But we sterek shippers have worked so hard!!! are you sure its not just our amazing work? I posted the link to this sight everywhere Facebook on sterek videos on youtube,fanfiction sightes tumblr, twitter. i mean everywhere just within last ngiht and i have been voting none stop
Can you explain why our website view hits don’t match the votes?
-Admin Angel
I dont know . I am not really good with those sort of things. to be honest. It just frusterates me this whole buisness that is going on..because alot of us shippers destial included has been voting none stop to show our passin and even to show our show creators and for what?…
Actually, I was wondering about how that works exactly. My method of voting has been to just click ‘return to poll’ after every vote and repeating that process. Like that, the page isn’t really refreshed with every vote, so would there still be a new view hit every time then?
I also want to say that you’ve really done an amazing job being the admin of this poll. It seems like a daunting task to do something like that and you’ve really been incredibly open, enthusiastic and communicative. So thanks, Angel =)
I’ve been clicking ‘return to poll’ over and over again after voting, does that count as a new page hit? Because the page doesn’t reload then. I would think it doesn’t right? I’m think that shippers are voting that way and not reloading. It would make sense right? I’m not very good with computers…
I think that destiel and sterek both are winners. Amount of votes is practically the same, it is more about who is faster now, not which fandom is bigger.
But GO STEREK ANYWAY!!!!
Right now I’m so pissed, that I don’t even care anymore.
For me, this poll is closed and the winner is NOBODY.
Even if declares a tie, is a injustice to the shippers that work your ass off since 04/02.
I’m tired, “morta de raiva” and for me is done.
I’m giving up. I don’t like beying a foll by people who doens’t understand that you don’t need to cheat to win.
Sterek is much more than that. We win without this, we win with our heart and spirit.
The worst: I know that this bot is not something made for someone from our shipp.
I think we should call it a tie. Despite the fact that this poll is about love, it seems like some people don’t understand that 🙁
And I just want to say thank you for everything Angel – you’ve done such a good job in running this poll, and I’m sorry it’s been so much hassle. I’ve had a lot of fun voting alongside my friends but maybe now a tie would be best.
could just refreshing the page and voting again effect the numbers? i mean i do that. i just refresha nd vote and repeat and i know others do.
Refreshing counts as page views, yes.
-Admin Angel
huh…okay but honestly there have been alot of links out on both sides but i have seen alot of sterek ones errupt since last night
I’m a Sterek shipper, however i’m also a Destiel shipper. ^,^ So since sterek is in the lead ( May be due to backdoor botting. ;c ) I’m going to vote destiel untill it’s at a fair place. :33 Whoever is backdoor botting it’s not cool, this is supposed to be alittle bit of fun to show you’re love to a fandom. ^,^
Sorry for bad english … First, thank you for organizing the administration of voting Second, I congratulate you on the day February 14, Valentine’s Day. All real and strong feelings, love knows no boundaries. Third, all Pairing worthy, but voted for Sterek represented by one adult guys too. From Russia with love. Let win the most diligent.
This poll ended up getting real ugly really quick, I’m kinda sad. I believe it would be better to call it a tie, or, even though I’m a Destiel shipper, give the win to sterek. We’ve won a lot already. Both sides have fought really hard and it’s been a really close race and I proud of that.
I say give it time, looks like destiel is doing good at getting the voting up. I think they’ll catch up in no time, we’ve still got loads of time. If things go horribly wrong again either call it a tie and do the poll against just Destiel and Sterek. 😮
Yeah, we might be even able to pass even with that botting thing that happened (assuming it’s over with?), which is just amazing! Go destiel go!!
I’m sorry, I know these comments are supposed to be positive only, but I’m absolutely disgusted with whichever fandom it was that decided to try and sabotage Sterek just because they had no chance of winning through actual voting and Sterek got to the top of this poll through hard work and dedication from it’s fans and now someone wants to ruin that? Get a life.
I too am disgusted so I’ll let this comment stay. And I’m not going to point fingers but I know which fandom is responsible and I’m horrifically disappointed.
-Admin Angel
which fandom is it?
It’s the exact same ship that pulled this in both AfterElton Slash Madness polls and got that fandoms poll frozen in both cases. They tweet tips and programs they can buy to put bots on other fandoms. Just look through the previous slash madness polls comments section and you’ll see which smaller ship causes the issues. The only strange thing is they’re not currently in third place right now. They were but they must’ve moved all their botting resources into sabotaging Sterek. So very tired of that ship.
Can we not accuse entire ships because of a few bad apples? 🙁 It’s not ships and fandoms that are the problem, it’s the few overly obsessed people who care far too much about internet polls.
^ This. It’s not ships, it’s few people obsessed with hate who give bad name.
But it always happens to be the same ship. Every time. They don’t denounce those members at all. Members who use the same twitter accounts every time and are well known in the fandom.
I know this is going to be deleted but it’s become tradition at this point to see the [redacted by Admin Angel] fandom posting tweets and links of bots to buy and which ship they should put it on. It’s getting frustrating and the fandom as a whole just says that it’s really Destiel and not their members, even with the clear proof of tweets.
I’m just over it.
Not deleted, just redacted. You are correct. The fandom you pointed out in this post is the fandom that was trying the throw the poll, but we don’t want to name them here on this site. I’m going to allow the comment to stay, but just redact the name of the fandom. That specific fandom has been spreading massive amounts of misinformation about this website on Twitter, so I don’t want things to get worse with screenshots of us trash talking them here. I’m sure you understand.
But yes, you hit the nail right on the head. You are correct.
-Admin Angel
“But it always happens to be the same ship. Every time.”
No, not the same ship, the same PEOPLE within that ship. Fandoms and ships don’t have control over each individual. I’m probably way more sorry that these people do what they do than you will ever be, because I can’t do anything about them and it’s because of them that 99% of the shippers who haven’t done anything and are voting just as passionately for their ship as the rest are always, ALWAYS suspected of cheating. I voted in the Slash Madness poll last year, neglecting sleep and all, when all of the sudden everyone in the comments started calling my ship cheaters. I felt so bad I actually cried. So please, remember that you’re talking about a few individuals and ships and fandoms are MUCH larger.
Yes, this is an IMPORTANT distinction. And I feel like most of us know who we’re talking about even if I refuse to let it be named. Not all people who ship that are cruel and petty. There are plenty of fabulous people. It’s the same ~20 or so members of that ship that bounce around the Internet spreading hate. The entire fandom and ship shouldn’t be blamed for a small amount of angry people.
-Admin Angel
Or you could be active about it. Address these people head on instead of making people feel bad here for calling out the SAME fandom. These people aren’t hiding. They’re posting this stuff openly on twitter. I don’t understand why no one in the fandom ever tweets at them to stop it but you’re all quick to smack down anybody that has a problem with it from other fandoms. You can do things about it.
And the Slash Madness cheating was obvious and people were posting links and photos of their tweets in the comments but all of the *** shippers in the comments started hating on Destiel saying it’s really them pretending to be *** shippers. Even though it is blatantly clear what ship they are a part of.
It’s hard to know if I’m more annoyed at the cheaters or the fandom that ignores it and hates on people for pointing it out.
I don’t have a Twitter. I have no idea who these people even are, they have NOTHING to do with me or any of my friends within my fandom. If I see people hating on other ships, I do tell them not to, but do you know what that does? Absolutely nothing. Do you really think that people who publicly admit to cheating and using bots are suddenly going to stop and feel bad because a few people in their ship chastise them? The fact that they’ve been doing it for so long tells me that they really don’t care.
I understand your frustration, it does become tiresome.
Even so I don’t believe in punishing the majority for doing what should be done with all trolls, ignoring. (Of course if you get hate or threats there is spnantibullying.tumblr.com)
Think of it this way, at least they are wasting their money on cheating instead of chocolate on Valentines Day.
Try for a good day, and see you next poll (if you feel like it, of course). 🙂
I’m not going to state it publicly. I don’t want to bring any more rage down upon this site.
-Admin Angel
Is this poll ending? I know a lot of Sterek shippers have stopped voting because it was announced on the geekiary tumblr that you were closing it.
Sorry to be annoying but I just want to know because of sleeeeep reaasons.
Go to sleep, honey. I’ll be closing it down shortly.
-Admin Angel
You are truly an Angel.
My eyes and everything hurts.
Thank you for keeping this as fair as possible for as long as you did with unlimited voting. I don’t know how you managed it.
Good night.
Regardless of the result, these sorts of polls always make me smile when it comes to Dean and Cas.
At a time where their relationship has been forced into something of an awkward standstill- some might argue a difficult corner- It’s amazing to see the extent of the fandom who are willing to show their support. Despite its occasional hiccups, this fandom can be, seriously, SERIOUSLY awesome.
Let the poll continue!
xx
Im so dissapointed this is happening. Me and a lot of other shippers have been passionately voting for their ships and now we wont even have an honest winner. Althoug i would really hate for it to be a draw or a repoll. Just wished things like this never happened in the first place. We have spend so muc h time voting and it feels like such a waste now :/
This is the first poll I’ve both (A) done honestly and (2) gone all out in.
I wish I could find the book “Why Nations Go To War” because there’s a brilliant quote, at least in the edition I have, that if each side accurately and exactly knew the other’s strength there would be no wars.
Back in the SPN fandom (and once in the Avengers fandom) it appeared clear that the other team was botting, and I’d get annoyed and run a bot. I think a lot of the time neither side starts botting first. As in, someone who gets really paranoid another team is botting starts botting…and unfortunately at that point polls ARE conducted like wars. (The “Willy-Nicky” Telegrams of World War I are a tragic example of two people making friendly exchanges to prevent a war and eventually panic because they can’t know what the other is really doing.)
After all these years I wish there was a poll system that tracked IP addresses, especially that could be sorted by multiple variables and integrate web traffic to the page in…It’s really frustrating. You could click “most votes cast by IP address” and, you know, see this one person cast 5,000 voted in 3 minutes (nobody can actually do that) and strike the votes from inside the poll and a rainbow would permanently appear over the house of the programmer and they’d be given an Oscar and be given a high government position.
The thing that’s always gotten to me the most, that gets under my skin, is how poorly polls are programmed. In this case Angel has done a fabulous job monitoring traffic and where people are coming from and seeing how it correlates with votes cast, starting out with unlimited voting (there was an Avengers arms race where people continued to find new ways to exploit the poll harder, which got very ugly), communicating with everyone and still we have this poll set-up that has so many security flaws that’s the part you just can’t get around.
Everyone’s been so polite and positive and they’re both deserving ships and the shows are for the same audience! There’s no reason everyone shouldn’t be watching both and enjoying both. And if destiel /or/ sterek goes canon it’ll let the other show’s staff evaluate things. The chemistry between the couples is so different, they’re such different people, I wish Destiel and Sterek could be each other’s Valentines. :\\\\\
This is a very long comment. I just have a lot of feelings. And voted so long. @_@
Why isn’t hannigram included in this????? (I love Sterek and Destiel as well though) But like seriously
Because they weren’t voted in as the top 10 fandoms in round 1.
-Admin Angel
Hmm, I don’t think any botting is happening with Sterek because my dashboards been filled with requests to vote (not to mention a few I’ve posted myself). Many of my Sterek friends around the world have rounded up together and are voting over and over again for the whole day, and I myself have been voting consistently.
What I do know is that last night when I went to bed (I live in the UK) Destiel was far FAR ahead, as per usual for the hour I’ve noticed, and Sterek always makes a comeback by the time I’ve woken up. I’m thinking that it’s possible and probable to be in the lead right now, and it’ll be a shame for making it a tie in the end when a lot of the shippers, both Destiel and Sterek have been voting their butts off. If there’s evidence of botting however a tie it should be, though it’ll make a lot of shippers upset a little. From the trend of the past few days Destiel shippers are definitely going to make a comeback. It is the last day after all, and it’s very possible that Sterek and Destiel are voting more than usual today! Plus, people like us from the other continent are very obsessive sometimes too!
Doing a Destiel and Sterek rematch is gonna be a bit difficult, cause I for one know I’m not gonna be able to invest this much time again so soon when I’ve been shirking my schoolwork… ;D
I remember staying up ’till 2am this Tuesday thinking ‘aw yiss, Supernatural tonight after a hard day of lectures’ and then… I remembered.
~HIATUS~
As a Brit, might I voice my intense confusion at US TV scheduling?
TV seasons have gotten SO weird. Shorter (12 episode seasons are now so common, especially in genre shows. Probably the cost of making them?), which means that they spread them out with frequent hiatuses, and then a HUGE break. Makes it hard for new shows, as people can’t remember when they’re on, if they’re on, and keeping the interest high..
Over here in the UK you’ll get tv seasons of around, 10 or 12 episodes, at the most? It seems like the 22-episode fall-to-spring thing leads to many episodes being completely pointless, badly thought out, or underdeveloped. Is that really cost-effective? I don’t understand.
Think about how many episodes of Supernatural that could have been cut, and the season would still have been good, if not better? I mean, I love this show, but I probably wouldn’t make it in the same way.
I kind of like what Teen Wolf did for its one 24 episode season (something about winning a tax lottery or something?)
They just did two 12 episode plot arcs. Kept it tight, focused, and still took advantage of the increased time.
Of course, some shows aren’t about a single plot arc. Supernatural seems to balance its main season arc with interspersed ‘monster killing’ episodes (Other shows, like X Files, used to do that). And some don’t have a single arc in the first place, like the original Star Trek, in which most episodes worked as stand alone. So, it depends on the show, I imagine.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. I’m doing a Performance Studies assignment on postmodernism and cult tv; once you start taking it apart, Supernatural takes such a massive lead from the X-files, and you can play match-up between the episodes from SPN’s level of pastiche.
I’ve never seen Teen Wolf, so I wouldn’t know about that, but that sounds like a good strategy! And I guess you’re right about the stand-alone thing; an advantage there I guess is that it’s easier to watch just the one episode in isolation and get into the show from there. The downside of that, of course, would be that there are so many plot arcs that a good few get dropped or ignored before they’re given proper closure, which is always frustrating when you’d just thought that they were on to something good.
Thanks for indulging me! My assignment’s gonna rule with you guys helping me out.
Our hiatus’ confuse me as wel, don’t worry. ;D But I do know that this current hiatus is because of the Winter Olympics.
Maybe just proclaim the winner to be ‘Sterestiel’ (Or is it Desterek) and mess with spite botters and cheaters alike. *grin* They’re BOTH great ships, and I’m glad to see my third favorite (I flip between Sterek and Destiel, myself, for first place) of Jorian (Kennex and Dorian from Almost Human) to make it into the top ten in their FIRST SEASON.
Good for you!!
This this this!!! I just said this.
I think Destiel and Sterek have proven they are each other’s Valentines. And so many of us love both ships. And that seems like such a more positive ending to this story. @_@
Well, see now Destiel is catching up again! It could be that Sterek has dropped back on the number of votes now with the assumption that it’s not worth it regarding the botting issues, but come on guys! Just a little bit longer? 😀
I ship sterek and destiel so I’m incredibly conflicted. They are both wonderful tv shows and incredible fandoms so why don’t we just support each other instead of getting mad.
I’m commenting on several things serially because I’m loopy after split attention between TV shows and a hockey game and this webpage since yesterday in Alabama.
Sterek and Destiel have one thing in common (besides genre): Both couples generated a tremendous amount of on screen chemistry that is undeniable, nobody denies it exists, but which has not been acted upon in either case.
I’m a lesbian and a fanfic writer, and personally I think both naturally developed homosexual relationships AND the couples women want to see, women’s romantic fantasies, equally deserve representation, this massive community of mostly women, fandom, is here because elsewhere women’s fantasies are buried six feet under. (Romance has the largest print and e-book market share and look at how people talk about romance as ‘less than’. Less than what?)
The Destiel and Sterek fandoms should be natural friends. Embattled LGBTQ folks who would please like to watch a relationship grow over time and be consummated playing off this amount of spontaneity and chemistry and women who wanna see two sexy guys in a passionate romance generally /are/ natural friends except for the occasional kerfluffle.
I don’t even understand why we can’t have nice things. Like somebody cut me a break I’m 30 and Xena was now almost 20 years ago.
Is there even a point of voting anymore? Cause it doesn’t seem to.
If Sterek got unfair amount of votes before, now it seems we’re losing it in the same way, so it’s just the matter of who (and why, cause I hope both fandoms directly involved are not cheating) is cheating the best.
I’m really upset, but I quess I can’t be surprised, I just want to thank again for making that poll in the first place, it was a lot of fun for quite some time 🙂
I thank the Admin for keeping on top of this and making that post.
I do not see a point in continuing this any further.
I am sure the lovely shippers of both Sterek and Destiel have stopped trying as much as they would have, if this remained fair.
I always thought, the most fair way to do this, is to limit one vote per IP.
Some ugly souls have taken the fun out of this and keep forgetting, shipping is about love. People ship two characters out of love. If you don’t love them, it is fine, but why do damage out of spite and hate.
Until yesterday evening, it was so pleasing to see Sterek and Destiel fans going for it out of love and fun and all of it got ruined.
But I wish Sterek shippers well and Destiel shippers well. Both fandoms won in my opinion because, 90% of votes each ship got was, out of love and that is the positive from all of this.
Aaaaah Destiel is catching up on Sterek! This is so thrilling!
I’m gonna keep on voting for Sterek with all my passion. I’m fired up!
I voted for Destiel as well but right now I honestly don’t care anymore who wins. This was so much fun, seeing the fandom connect, seeing people encourage each other..and I guess it’s the same for ..Sterek (?) So whatever you choose, Admin, I’m fine with it and thanks for this great work. I hope you get some sleep the next days.
And I think I’m going to start watching Teen Wolf now…
OMG
I vote and press F5.
So the options for shipp change order and so I’m hunting “Where is Sterek? Where is Sterek?”
Is up there?! No!! Is downstairs?! NOOOOOOO!!! Is in the middle! 🙂
LOL
It’s a little funny. And desperate xD
# Sterek
lol I know right! I’ve just started doing it the lazy way. ctrl+F type sterek press enter and voila!
That would have made my life easier
LOL
For the Sterek fans who need a bit of positivity after having another fandom put a bot on us http://sinyhale.tumblr.com/post/76635566876/sinyhale-sinyhale-derek-hale-vs-chris The ‘Derek protecting Stiles from Chris’ scene we were hoping for looks like it’s happening!!! That video (click the link) and gif is just what I needed.
I *LOVE* that gif set! Tyler Hoechlin is the most beautiful person alive!
I’m still so mad over the deliberate sabotaging of Sterek by another fandom; it’s so pathetic. People seem to be scared and/or threatened of what our fandom can achieve!
Or in other words, keep voting Teen Wolf fans – lets show the sad little losers who tried to sabotage us just what we can do!
Did you watch the video? It has Derek saying he’s looking for Stiles and flat out asking Chris what his intentions are with Stiles if he finds him first! I can’t wait!
http://stileslovesderek.tumblr.com/post/76636966389/extended-promo-x-and-then-this-happens-and This scene is everything for the next ep.
OMGGGG! I hadn’t seen that part of the promo! 😮 Thanks for pointing it out! I love how much Sterek this season is delivering already without them even being in the same room together!
I believe it’ll be huge moment when they met. And thanks for the video notif. Really made my valentine day. Sterek’s taking a step forward 😀
Ollie/Dinah? Laurel’s mom, Dinah? Or should that be Ollie/Laurel? *confused*
Hi Admin Angel, I’m not pointing fingers or being negative or anything but I wanted to know if there’s an explanation as to why Jimlock suddenly ranked so high since yesterday? I’m just curious cause I didn’t see them in any ranked position until yesterday, or maybe I’m just unobservant… but yeah, I’m just being curious! Is there a plausible explanation?
(I hope I’m not being rude to Sheriarty fans or anything, really)
Honestly I’ve been so concerned about the Sterek/Destiel issues I have’t been paying attention to the others lately. I’m not sure. But it hardly matters now because the poll had to be shut down early. Sorry.
-Admin Angel
We organized into shifts of dedicated voters and used some basic math to figure out when and how much to vote in order to gain momentum.
We mobilized together to vote our butts off. We’ve been in the top 6-7 ships for a few days now.
Just a quick but heartfelt THANK YOU to Admin for keeping this poll clean and nice for as long as you did, I and I’m sure many others appreciate your hard work.
Thank YOU for being a positive member of your fandom 🙂
-Admin Angel
i always had a worry right from day 1 (which i commented about at the start) that if either one of sterek or destiel displayed signs of botting, that it would be as a tactical move from A DIFFERENT ship – i.e. someone petty and bitter that their ship isn’t as big and popular as those 2 king daddios, and deciding to go for a sabotage.
i think we all know that it’s fairly obvious the amount of hard work and dedication both sterek and destiel fandoms put into this – and both sides have rallied their forces to do it all honestly. neither would be insane enough to destroy all that by using botting. it’s a ****ing stupid move, plain and simple, especially when we all know it’s being so closely monitored after the stydia-gate…..UNLESS it’s DESIGNED for sabotage.
like i said – it’s obvious neither destiel nor sterek would want to muddy their hands using bots……so it’s got to be the work of someone else….
therefore, may i make a simple suggestion? we know that there IS clear evidence of botting….but as it’s not coming from the fandom themselves and is infact being used as a tool against them….can’t you simple take a measure of the vote-hits discrepancy and subtract that rough figure from the end total??….meaning that the fandoms aren’t punished for something they didn’t do, but that the voting (or as much as possible, at least) isn’t skewed, giving a fairer result?
Unfortunately no, it’s not possible. There’s no way to tell how many votes exactly were botted. Unless you want to pay $200 to upgrade our polldaddy account and THEN we’ll be able to tell. The votes and views were always off by a few thousand, but this time it reached up into the 10’s of thousands which was very VERY off. But thank you for your feedback and suggestions. I do appreciate hearing new ideas on the matter. At this point the poll has been closed and a decision has been made, though.
-Admin Angel
What is going on?I Wwas voting Destiel and share it at tumblr.What happened?
WELL DONE everybody!! This has been fun plus ça va sans dire I’m quite a proud Sterek mum at the moment *_*
-Plus special mention for…CALLIE K. !
You wrote great comments sweetie, you’re a star! From a fellow S. fan (who thanks to the closeness with Destiel fandom in every poll has done vice versa too, LOL ;-P) I wanted to thank you for your dedication to the show & our special guys…despite the results & some inevitable trolls around, I say don’t care & congratulations to us!
Let’s just all move on with the flow of the positive attitude of these super pairings (& kudos to the others nice fans around from different shows, we’re all a big family afterall, we share a similar attitude & care for our fictional heroes <3): here's hoping that our efforts will be rewarded with on screen canon sooner or later, this would totally be the best gift. *_*
PS_ANGEL uber thank to you & THE TEAM for making this possible; so let's do it again next time then…with luv!!<3
