I'm a mom, and there's a mom at the school pick-up area who named her firstborn son Castiel.

why was there a mental health helpline bar below the video???😭😭💀

As a recovering rabid Johnlock shipper who spent a decade in Johnlock hell, wrote a massive amount of fanfic, believed in it till the end, and is now still nursing the burn of queerbaiting and bad writing, I don't know if I am brave enough to watch this one. The second hand embarrassment might obliterate me.

So grateful that I was a lurker! There is NO digital footprint of my thoughts and actions during this time!

My inner tumblr youth was literally triggered by lack of David Tennant and I haven’t felt that way since 2013.

Unfortunately as many of you may not know, superwholock is still VERY much alive. It’s like that one roach you keep spraying with raid but its legs just won’t stop twitching

"It's just a slow burn!" MAN THERE AIN'T EVEN EMBERS THERE!😨

WHAT THIS IS THE BIGGEST CROSSOVER OF THE CENTURY WHAT IS HAPPENINNGGGG

"if these words mean nothing to you, congratulations, you're normal" yeahhh it's like that lmao... The amount of stuff around today in tropes that were spawned because of superwholock... It's basically the Spirk of the 21st century.

Fun fact: The current count for destiel Fanfics on Ao3 is 116,580 works!

My boy you diving into super who lock???? In 2024???? IN THIS ECONOMY?????😭😭😭

The way i’ve been binge watching nikki and uncarley for my whole depressive episode the past few days i’ve been going through and now i get this. nobody is excited as i am.

Carly: How baby girl can be a murderer? NBC Hannibal: Let me introduce you - Will Graham and Hannibal Lectеr

WAKE UP NIKKI POSTED !!!!!!!

If you make a part 2, please cover the insane Supernatrual finale and the "Castiel goes to Super Hell(tm) on election day" fiasco, still lives in my brain rent free ✊🏽😔

It's honestly hilarious that supernatural wrote an eleven year long slow burn romance but could never commit out of fear that there might be a random homophobic dude who's accidentally still watching

unhinged superwholock in 45 minutes? Nikki, girl, I love you, but as someone who was DEEP into this cesspool back on tumblr in the early 10's - there is no way a 45 minute video is a deep dive. Still gonna watch the fuck out of it though, cuz I know you're gonna have some great content regardless lmao

THIS IS MY MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

I am thoroughly ashamed to admit I never learnt about SuperWholock back in the day 'cause I was too busy playing on FRIV in my defense I killed it at Papa's Cupcakeria

Honestly so brave yet so true about Amy. Her early writing was genuinely so gross; she was just constantly cheating on the absolute angel that is Rory while harassing the Doctor, who canonically views her as a child the whole time. She gets more likeable after she chooses Rory but god that era of the show would have been ten times more likeable if they'd written out Amy and River's abusive tendencies

shoutout to my 15 y/o self for getting a "complete this story" prompt about sherlock on a standardized test and taking my opportunity to submit johnlock fanfiction for it. i don't remember my score, but it was still somewhere in "advanced proficient." the best part was that i never watched sherlock.

posted just when i needed it.... (when i have 5 hours before a major assignment is due and i don't even have half of it done.)

as someone who was on tumblr during peak superwholock years, my #1 bit of shipping hipster cred has always been that i shipped johnlock based on the original books before the BBC show even existed. i didn't even know what shipping was because i was like 11, but as a little growing gay boy, for some reason i couldn't stop thinking about them as a couple. i didn't even find out that this was a common idea until i was 15 and joined tumblr 💀

A Nikki Carreon video collab with uncarly with a reference to Nicole Rafiee is MY superwholock

How the f did you made 2 unhinged deep dive back to back? What are you doing with your free time?? 😂

i literally escaped super who lock by a NOSE hair, yet the name brought chills to my spine

My girlfriend wasn't a superwholock but she was a superwho. I still make jokes about it sometimes. Growing up my oldest sibling watched supernatural and my mom liked Dr. Who, so I know a lot of the references, so sometimes I'll sneak in esoteric references to either show just to give my girlfriend flashbacks lmao

fuck it, invested for part 2, this is the type of shit i was just oblivious of it existing lmao

hearing you talk about destiel when i’ve been suffering alone in an inescapable destiel relapse for the past 3 months is healing me

I can't believe my tween years are now part of internet history.... Did I actually know all the lore, yes Did I still watch the whole video for nostalgia, absolutely

9:37 "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition." This quote stayed with me till this day

I've been on tumblr since the early 2010s (it's changed a looot over the years) and superwholock to this day pops up every now and again, usually in the form of classic decade-old posts full of superwholock gifs being passed around with reverence. It's a stink (affectionate) you can never really wash out. Can't wait for part 2!

Thank you for the comments against claiming real humans can't queerbait. It is really fucking weird when people do.

My two favs talking about my childhood

Feels illegal to be this early, esp with Nikki making a video about my 14 year old Roman Empire

a nikky and nicole overlap is one I knew I needed and finally got 🙏

The most embarrassing thing is some of us on that site weren't even teenagers. Some of us were in our early 20s. I never liked Superwholock, but I was definitely still cringe.

bro as a former supernatural girly i WOULD listen to you talk about it for hours

I was in so deep with SuperWhoLock and Harry Potter Tumblr and Instagram. I literallt had a pretty big roleplaying account 😭 such a wild time.

Oh man, we gonna cover the mishapocalyps aren’t we 🙈 the dark times

After finishing the video, we are all needing this part 2

Of all the deep dives I've watched discussing this stuff.... (i lived thru it but was never in the fandoms lol so I like to rewatch ppl discuss it for nostalgia) I've never heard that Castiel was given the plot line of a Dean Love interest that is so hysterical

Super who lock sounds like a max-security jail

literally begging and pleading for a part 2

holy shit its classical studies time

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I NEED PART 2 RIGHT NOW GIRL PLEASE IM FIENDING FOR IT

Thank you for being the first one who started the donation. You are a beautiful kind.woman. I am really appreciating your contribution to the world and people who are in need. You guys are the reason why there's a hope for humanity. Let's hope your donation campaign will the most successful campaign ever.

I remember being on tumblr in 2013-2014 just witnessing everyone loving Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Supernatural and I could never escape the gifs of them 😭 Around 2015, that’s when I got into Supernatural but I was never a rabid Destiel shipper, nor did I ship them at all. I really enjoyed the show though. This video unlocked a memory I buried for so long. 😭 thank you for talking about this, I rarely ever see people talk about niche topics like these ❤

I was on the precipcie of becoming a SuperWhoLock fandom member. Then I learned about the fandom sending death threats to the actress who played the character of Hannah because she was "a threat to Destiel." That was my cue to run like hell and never look back.

unrelated to most of the video but one time i went to a local thrift store and found some supernatural merch, i thought “wow that’s an …interesting thing to donate” and kept sifting through clothes but to my dismay for the next like 10 pieces of clothing it was just supernatural merch after supernatural merch there were like 15 different shirts with supernatural quotes and icons on them on multiple racks 😭😭😭😭😭

PLEASE make part two. i only ever experienced suoerwholock from an outside perspective and this inside look explains so much

I was about to object that the biggest queerbaiting of the bunch was Sherlock.. but then I remembered the entirety of Supernatural. And that finale. yeah. EDIT: You got me there at the Duke of queerbaiting ngl.

i hope Dr Who fans are called Whooligans

I'm glad that I've left multiple engagements, because for the amount of work you've done recently the least I can do is feed the algorithm.

I called myself a superwholock but apparently I barely scratched the surface of the iceberg in some areas

that moriarty impression was it 😭🙏🪦

Nikki’s channel is so comforting 😭😭

Omg I love hearing about this it unearthed something in me… I literally had the term “superwholock” blocked on tumblr when I was in school

Why is this video coming out just when I started rewatching Supernatural 😭😭

We need part 2 plssss 😭 I'm incredibly invested and your storytelling on this tragedy is gold

Need part 2 neeeowww im so invested

I haven't seen a single episode of any of these show (actually I might have tried watching one Sherlock episode but I certainly didn't finish it), yet I found myself nodding along to your video. That's how prominent the SuperWhoLock trinity is.

i'm glad i joined these fandom in 2017/2018 bc the most of the toxic fans weren't there anymore, or I just never saw them! but I was a young french dude who weren't as fluent as I was in english back then lmao

i admire carely's explanation of tjlc but i feel like you can't talk about the apple tree yard conspiracy without going into detail of what happened with the last episode of season 4 because yes we were crazy but my god it cannot be overstated just how bad that season and particularly the episode of sherlock was. the major reveals were that sherlock had a secret sister who was so insane her parents shipped her off to an island in isolation and only mycroft remembers here. it's also revealed that the dog sherlock kept thinking about wasn't actually a dog. no no that was his BEST FRIEND who he used to play pirates with and who fell down a well and died. so he forgot about said best friend and imagined a dog anyway. the reason this is absolutely absurd is because the entire show hypes up how much of a genius sherlock is. he's soo smart he's actually infuriating. but he somehow forgot both a sister and best friend. but that's not the only thing that got us to the secret 4th episode theory. season 3 had a special 4th episode so it wasn't unheard of. (or season 4 had an episode 0. however you look at it.) BUT ALSO it leaked like a few days before it was supposed to air. so the fandom watched it and was like this is actually the worst television i've ever seen in my entire life, it has to be a fake leak right? so we waited for the episode to air and it was the actual episode. and again this has to be some type of trick. well the episode was airing in theaters and they wouldn't put literally the worst episode of probably any television show to ever exist in a bunch of theaters right? they aired the fake one as a scapegoat and we're all supposed to watch the real episode in theaters. i went to the theaters. it was the actual episode. so desperate to salvage what's left of this show, we managed to connect some dots with mary's character and the plot of apple tree yard and we were so hopeful that maybe just maybe that was our saving grace but alas.

Please release a part two, I’ve NEVER clicked so fast on a video in my LIFE!!😂😂😂

love how nbc hannibal didnt make the cut for this amalgamation of teenage girl madness by an inch.... guess it was too ahead of it's time

i love these being posted at like 4 am. Nikki is on that grindset mindset fr theres been so much great content lately, night owls are being blessed truly. also for what its worth, your old tumblr pics are cool as hell. I can attest to not being in this fandom (i was in the emo sleeping w sirens, black veil brides, bring me the horizon, pierce the veil etc etc side of 14 yr old edginess)(i still am tbh) but i could not escape it on my tumblr and it annoyed tf out of me not understanding or wanting to understand superwholock fandom inside jokes 😭

PLEASE PART 2 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

9:31 "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" How could you not take the opportunity to use that line here?? Iconic start to Destiel 😂

Just woke up after a horrible night just to be greeted by your yt vid. You made my morning so much brighter nikki

I will come back to this once I watched Supernatural

Girl it is 2am for me rn and i have class in 7 hours but i dont even have to say what im about to do

i love these multipart vids, PLS DO MORE, i love hearing your talks!

Oh boy, we started off with Tumblr circa 2011-12, this is gonna be a rough one huh?

You have no idea how hype I got seeing this notification! we all love u and hope things are going well❤️❤️

I was really hoping I would never hear the word "Superwholockian" ever again in my life, but here we are.

Yesss please do a part 2 I have listened to half a dozen creators, at least ten hours of videos and I will listen to ten more!

I'd rather bump into a former superwholock fan that a disney adult if I was walking down a dark alley at night tbh

Thank you for saying that an actual human doesn't queerbait, character representations do.

PLEASE DO A PART TWO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NIKI I BEG YOU

i read the title and STILL got 'nam flashbacks when she said "superwholock" 💀💀😭😭😭😭😭 i literally blocked that term from my memory stop-

i just morphed back into the sherlock kid in me like gregory in metamorphosis

CROSSOVER OF THE CENTURY

I not only need a part two but also need more fandom deep dives please!!!

This is the video I didn't know I needed. If you do the continuation, I'm going to be so happy.

please make a part 2 i am begging i dont know anything about superwholocke and i require your wisdom nikki

I'm honestly surprised you didnt mention that Misha Collins literally ripped the cast apart, everyone started to dislike him, he would sexually harass Jensen Ackles, especially on stage at cons, he would literally sign destiel nsfw at cons and then run over to Jensen Ackles and harass him with the art. Misha Collins became OBSESSIVE over the Destiel ship, Jared spoke on it a few times, Jensen started literally leaving stages at cons due to being tired of Misha groping him. They ended up making up but it was a HUGE issue, a lot of Supernatural fans quickly picked up on

I’ll take a part 2! Love the two of you in this

the collab the people needed. cant wait for pt 2!!

I AM ALSO AWAKE AT 4AM NIKKI!!!

You neeeeeeeed to talk about misha Collins’s absolute cult following. Oh and that time he was bisexual for two days !! I wonder if it made him think he was actually queer since he said the f slur yesterday

i cannot express enough how i will listen to you talk about anything at all please make more of this i am INVESTED

Please do a part two! I want to see a part two to all of your part ones!

girl, you have to stop doing part videos

NIKKI & UNCARLEY MOTHERSSSSSSSSS

I will definitely watch part two. Thank you for the awesome video.

Your deep dive videos are my lifeline girly i dont care if you release 10 part essays just pls keep spoiling us!!

nikki dan and phil deepdive when.

YES I WOULD LOVE A PART 2 IM SO EXCITED
