We all know the last episode of the season is going to be extremely emotional. Luckily, I’ve got a handy guide of things you’ll need and things you’ll can do to help you get through them.
1. Kleenex.
2. Keep all throwable objects out of arm’s reach.
3. Chocolate.
4. If that doesn’t work, alcohol. Copious amounts. Find a liquor store and drink it, if you have to.
5. Warn all pets and other members of your household that promptly at 10:00, you will be yelling KRIPKEEEEE! GAMBLEEEEEE! very loudly. Board up windows, if necessary.
6. Second box of Kleenex. One isn’t going to be enough.
7. Curl up under a fuzzy blanket and repeat to yourself, “it’s only a TV show. It’s only a TV show.”
8. Laugh at Ardeospina for suggesting such a ludicrous thing. Even she doesn’t really believe that.
9. Hum Metallica to yourself. It's supposed to calm you down.
10. Aspirin for the massive hangover you get from imbibing an entire liquor store.
11. Watch the Pilot again. Marvel at how young they are. Staunchly refuse to think about how bad things are going to get for them.
12. Third box of Kleenex. In fact, just buy a whole car full. Possibly buy stock in Kleenex as their stock is sure to rise the next few days.
13. Keep your computer handy so you can come to the WFB on a regular basis and commiserate with your fellow heartbroken fans.
14. Waterproof mascara. Unless you dig the raccoon look.
15. Draw a bath, light some candles, lock the bathroom door, and just let it all out.
16. Repeat any steps as necessary. Except the liquor store one. That should probably be a one-off.
17. This is the most important thing to do to get you through the end of the season, so if you do nothing else on this list, at least abide by this: under no circumstances should you listen to “Carry On Wayward Son” until you hear it in the finale. Just don’t do it. You’ll thank me later.
And remember, we’ll get through it together! You’re not alone! *gathers fellow fans in a big circle, starts singing Kumbaya*

Also, leave landlines off the hook and turn off all cellphones. (Or in my case, have SPN-clueless hubby screen all calls).
I will be a mess of cry, I'm sure.
check list : alcohol, cigarettes, a bunch of kleenex, and WFB to cry with somebody.
ok, I'm ready.
Bring on Friday and then bring on July cause I want my vacation AND my convention already.
2. Keep all throwable objects out of arm’s reach - Check
3. Chocolate – Big time check
4. If that doesn’t work, alcohol. Copious amounts. Find a liquor store and drink it, if you have to – Ah come on now.... (cough, whispers ‘check’)
5. Warn all pets and other members of your household that promptly at 10:00, you will be yelling KRIPKEEEEE! GAMBLEEEEEE! very loudly. Board up windows, if necessary. – It’ll be 5am here, Last time I did that I think the neighbours called the guards. (They don't watch...)
6. Second box of Kleenex. One isn’t going to be enough – I’m not that posh, I’ll just get a roll of toilet paper....
7. Curl up under a fuzzy blanket and repeat to yourself, “it’s only a TV show. It’s only a TV show.” – Might work for you, not for me!
8. Laugh at Ardeospina for suggesting such a ludicrous thing. Even she doesn’t really believe that. – Mwah haw haw haw. Ardeospina, how could you suggest such a ludicrous thing!
9. Make an appointment on Jas’ couch. She’s an amazing counselor and will help greatly. Be sure to pay her in chocolate, books, cookie-scented candles, or pictures of Sam looking hot. – I'm going to have to come to some sort of agreement with Jasminka to pay her in instalments cos I think I’ll be living on that couch. (Especially if there’s chocolate and pictures).
10. Aspirin for the massive hangover you get from imbibing an entire liquor store – Diet Coke, a couple of runny fried eggs and potatoe waffles also work.
11. Watch the Pilot again. Marvel at how young they are. Staunchly refuse to think about how bad things are going to get for them – Jeez, they’re nowt but likkle babies. Time has been good to them...
12. Third box of Kleenex. In fact, just buy a whole car full. Possibly buy stock in Kleenex as their stock is sure to rise the next few weeks. – Might have moved onto the sleeve at this stage....
13. Keep your computer handy so you can come to the WFB on a regular basis and commiserate with your fellow heartbroken fans. – Do harassing and commiserating both mean the same thing cos I’m pretty much down with the harassing thing.
14. Waterproof mascara. Unless you dig the raccoon look. – Or be ultra prepared and just colour your eyelashes. Get the mascara look without looking like your eyelashes melted!
15. Draw a bath, light some candles, lock the bathroom door, and just let it all out. – We just took out the fecking bath! Drat. Crying in the shower just doesn’t have the same emo factor to it.
16. Repeat any steps as necessary. Except the liquor store one. That should probably be a one-off. – Not at all. We will need to prepare ourselves for the rewatch.
17. This is the most important thing to do to get you through the end of the season, so if you do nothing else on this list, at least abide by this: under no circumstances should you listen to “Carry On Wayward Son” until you hear it in the finale. Just don’t do it. You’ll thank me later. – But it’s on my running playlist! Though, I’ll probably be so full of chocolate, alcohol, fried eggs and tears I won’t be running for a while. Maybe the boys won’t be able to run after this cos they’ll be so hurty and brokeny. Or they’re too sad to run. Or Lucifer/Crowley/Castiel/Moses etc won't let them run.
Oh God, I’m crying again. And it’s only Monday. Those poor boys. Us poor fans...
So torn up inside. Looking forward to the con but not being able to see the final till Monday. But I take you up on those Klinexes. Quick everybody rush and buy some Klinexes stocks.
I´ll be there too and I bring my Laptop along so we can watch together, if you like.
Meet me in the cbox tonight or tomorrow night.
I already have my weep boxes (that's what the Kleenex boxes are called at my home and at my office, patients love it), still need to stock up on chocolate and booze... oops, wait, y'all be paying me soon in chocolate... hehehehe (*evil scientist's snicker
nay, I'm just joking. I'll be most happy to provide my very comfy couch for all the broken or breaking hearts out there.
Joining in your Kumbaya-circle, lovingly, Jas
P.S.: great thing you wrote here, Flamey! Love it to bits
Everything you have in it is already checked on my list, well except for the #7 'cause really?! Since when does that work?
hummm..... you know what? I'm thinking that the only one that might actually work is #4 finding a liquor store and drink it will probably put us in a happy drinking haze long enough until the beginning of season 7.
I'm dreading this last episodes and all the promos that come out are making it worse *sight* Think I can start damning Gamble and Kripke already?
Thanks for this Arde.
Love, Jas
Dawn
sniff, Jas (already pretty emotional...)
I can only imagine how many of us will need Jas's couch when the show ends completely
Love the list!
I think I pretty much have everything I'm going to need to survive these last two episodes.
Then of course there is the (whispers) 'hiatus' to content with next.
In Britain researchers were trying to prove that hard rock/heavy metal music provokes aggressivity. So they played loud rock music to monkeys all day long and observed their behaviour.
None of the bands played had any effect whatsoever, except for Metallica. It calmed them down.
So Dean was on to something. Absolutely, hum Metallica to yourself.
Thanks for the list. I know nothing about the finale being a spoilerphobe, but the vibes I'm getting say we are going to need the kleenex, the chocolate and the liquor store. And the Metallica.
Forgive my lack of faith. I went looking for your research Mickey, and it's TRUE!!!

Incredible.
Thank you for bringing it up.
It does sound just too perfect to be true, doesn't it?
Thanks for the hug felt around the world.
