return of the queen

the thing about me is that i really do think of all of my mutuals as friends

etiquette tip for any new people coming in from reddit! if you want to understand anything that happens on here, you have to watch all 15 seasons of supernatural. no skips, sorry :(. it’s just considered really rude here to interact with other posters without having seen all 300+ episodes

genuinely and wholeheartedly i think this is the best scene of the entire season

i am but an old man and tumblr is a construction site in italy

It’s like Dr. House always said

always follow the four g rule .... is it gaudy is it gauche is it grotesque is it godly

I don’t understand why people who cannot accept any moral grayness or complexity decide to join fandoms for the most emotionally complex stories and then try to shame everyone there who actually is able to understand the material.

the club got so crazy last night the dj let us all have a turn petting him

inconsistencies this and inconsistencies that, but having cas say “for the first time i feel” and then later describing him with “too much heart was always his problem”? i think about that a lot. taking both things as valid means having cas go through the same thing over and over and over again. every time he decided to disobey, make his own choices, he had to go through the “for the first time i feel” of it all, the struggles of figuring out what’s right, the struggles of fighting for what you believe in for the first time. except it’s not the first time, it just feels like it. like a never ending loop. cas existed in a constant cycle of self torture in the form of discovery, belief and free will.

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.

it’s so fucking embarrassing to find a conventionally attractive man attractive every time it happens. like oh you think the handsome man is handsome? you find the attractive guy attractive? derivative. passé. pedestrian

i need to press that man like a flower. get in the book boy

But it does.

AO3 does ‘and’ filters.

You don’t filter for M&E. You filter for not the other stuff.

I have never seen so many users clearly baffled by and too skittish to push buttons/toggles that are very clearly meant to be used.

If a trusted website has a button and you don’t immediately know or understand what it does, push it. Check out every drop down, every link, every configuration imaginable. Be adventurous. Fuck around and find out. If it breaks the website, they shouldn’t have had that button in the first place. Not on you. Indulge your curiosity instead of complaining it doesn’t do something it absolutely does if you poke around a little.

You’re not going to get a bad grade in filtering by using interface features from AO3, I promise.
