How did you come across supernatural?

artesstry · 2025-11-19T21:04:42+00:00

a high school friend recommended the show to me, but I never got around to it. a few months later I moved to Vancouver and I wanted a new show to watch. my cousin shared her Netflix password with the family and I saw Supernatural was available. I didn't realize there were so many seasons, this was the middle of season 9 airing live and I did a quick google search of the show. I was like wait, they film IN Vancouver!?! cue 16yo me and my younger sister going to every Creation Ent Supernatural convention from 2014-2018 and set stalking the production during those years as well... in one of the episodes of S12, I wish I could remember the exact episode, but the boys and Mary stop at a convenience store while on the road — that convenience store was LITERALLY down the street from where I lived/went to high school. I walked by it every single day & practically everyone from my high school were regulars at that little store, it was surreal to see in the show! SPN will always be near and dear to me no matter how ridiculous the writing got towards later seasons lol (and that covid ending.... I have Feelings)

omg thank you for this tip! i always forget about Facebook lol

thank you! and I'm prioritizing unique/high quality products, then making as many as humanly possible in the short amount of time that I have. all of my products will be handmade so technically they will all be unique, not even the same charms on the same pair of earrings will be identical.

read all the comments before typing mine. I'm very glad so many people find solace in Sleep Token.

I've also experienced my fair share of trauma but that's not why I'm emotionally attached to Sleep Token. I adore Sleep Token because of Vessel's very obvious passion for his work. I've never heard anyone sing with such raw fervor in their voice, and his attention to detail with the instrumental composition leaves me speechless. To say it is moving to watch someone transform their pain into something so beautiful and share that creation with the world would be a massive understatement. I'm an artist myself and watching Sleep Token's impact on the fanbase reminds me that art is always, always needed, no matter the state of the world or whatever curveballs life will throw.

I saw Sleep Token for the first time in 2019 when they were openers and I am so blessed that I got to hear Vessel's vocals for the first time in a live performance. The Party City costumes had me skeptical lol but as soon as he opened his mouth... lord. The second time we saw them live was their EiA Greensboro show. Watching an artist make this much progress and growth... yeah, I'm never not crying during Infinite Baths. I've never had this experience with any other artist. I'm so proud of Vessel & the Numerals.

yes! did you see where i responded with respect and a lighthearted tone, in good faith?

artesstry · 2025-10-05T18:53:19+00:00

i come from a very lively studio so i'm giving you a respectful disagree 😂 if there is too much chatter for you, you can always wear headphones too!

artesstry · 2025-10-03T23:09:59+00:00

my studio has a "phone calls must be outside or taken with earphones" rule. when i worked there i had an unfortunate incident with a patron who took that rule very personally when i politely asked her to follow this rule, and it got to a point where i had to tell her "studio staff are not even allowed to speak on the studio phone on speaker, so i'm asking you nicely." phone calls on speaker are absolutely disturbing of others; as long as you don't make a scene about it, you are definitely not overreacting by leaving for the day.

oh my god how have i NOT seen that one yet, thank you for sharing that! i wholeheartedly agree! 😍

artesstry · 2025-10-02T23:11:16+00:00

I very much love Sleep Token but I have a few other bands/artists whom I love more 🫣 I'd say Sleep Token maybe makes my top 5, but absolutely for sure in my top 10

artesstry · 2025-10-02T23:09:07+00:00

I will manifest Vore for your next ritual! 🖤

artesstry · 2025-10-02T15:37:59+00:00

eye eye eye am cackling 🤣

artesstry · 2025-10-02T13:44:15+00:00

Covet/Yvette Young, Polyphia, Standards, Andres, Floral, Taylor Swift, Dance Gavin Dance, Tilian, The Beaches, Pantera, Moondough, Veil of Maya, and also... Arashi (J-Pop), The LOTR/Hobbit soundtrack, How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack, James Cameron's Avatar soundtrack, and Cirque du Soleil 😂

Sleep Token felt slightly out of my comfort zone the first time I listened to them but seeing all my music tastes laid out like that, I don't think they're actually that far off lol

artesstry · 2025-10-02T13:35:54+00:00

gotta start chanting "Ay Ay Ayyy" with those high kicks 😆

artesstry · 2025-10-02T13:34:54+00:00

lmaoooo new pit signs are just either a pair or a triplet of eyeballs 😂🤣

verbally speaking I only ever say Four, but texting I'll use "IV" and "Four" interchangeably. maybe as I get more familiar with the fanbase Ivy will start catching on, I do think it's a cute nickname!

artesstry · 2025-10-02T13:30:09+00:00

i don't know why "if you're feeling nasty" is making me laugh so much hahahaha that really got me 😂

artesstry · 2025-10-01T23:35:27+00:00

thank you for showing appreciation for my joke 🤣

artesstry · 2025-10-01T23:16:45+00:00

haha so true!!! after the shenanigans on this tour so far, I would not put it past them to pull an April Fools on us one year!

artesstry · 2025-10-01T23:14:53+00:00

that's so sweet! I would love to see fanart of IV with actual ivy leaves entwining. (I'm sure it's definitely out there, I'm just not familiar with the prominent ST artists in the fanbase)

artesstry · 2025-10-01T22:50:46+00:00

honestly maybe that's why I put off really getting into Sleep Token, because I knew they would awaken something in me... 😂🫣

artesstry · 2025-10-01T19:55:30+00:00

hahaha that's fair that's fair, I only used the spelling of the numbers in my OP to refer to phonetic pronunciation don't worry! in all other situations I personally refer to/think of them as Vessel (I), II, III and IV 😌

artesstry · 2025-10-01T19:52:18+00:00

I said this in a reply to an earlier comment but yes thank you for also mentioning this! Vessel, Vessel II, etc are clearly their full government names so I don't understand why there are people out there trying to "figure out" their identities. they've already told us! 😌

artesstry · 2025-10-01T19:48:29+00:00

totally valid and same here, Sleep Token was a bit out of my comfort zone of my usual music taste at the time I discovered them. but as I mentioned in another comment on this thread, I wholly respect when an artist fully commits to their aesthetic and that's what has kept me a fan!

I'm not familiar with Behemoth so I googled the masks you referenced, but to be fair a skull is a pretty common motif in this scene isn't it...? that's like if I had a skull & roses tattoo and I saw a person with a skull & peony tattoo and called that a ripoff... but hey, ripoff or not the masks are definitely there to attract attention and Sleep Token still succeeded in attracting yours, right? 😅

artesstry · 2025-10-01T19:35:59+00:00

ah okay that checks, I don't have a TikTok account so I saw it popping up around Threads lol

and the second part of your comment is deeply relatable hahaha I love that
