Just a pinned post to let y'all know that I am currently posting more on my sideblog @wellofdean because I launched what I thought would be a low stakes Supernatural rewatch in the summer just to turn my brain off because work was stressful, and then it became a full-on, compulsive story obsession, and I can't stop.

I watched it as it aired, and kind of never participated in the fandom, but apparently that is all over now, and even if I am late to the party, I have A NEED.

I'm posting into The Empty over there because like, 1 person follows it, so... I dunno. People followed! I am honored! Please join me there if you want to!

I need Supernatch obsessed fellowship!

Not for nothing, friends, but I just received an email telling me that one of my poems has been accepted for publication in a journal I really like, and I am SO EXCITED about it.

Your girl will soon be PUBLISHED. AS A POET.

anne carson: simple moving poem about awkward dinners with not-quite-friends and the ennui that comes with realizing this mundane unhappiness is all adult life is sometimes

insane people on twitter: has she ever tried being happy? i like going to dinner with friends, what’s wrong with her? she can afford to go out to dinner, she shouldn’t complain. just be a cooler hang, skill issue. this isn’t my exact experience (i like my friends) therefore this poem is bad and unrelatable and pretentious. she can’t debone a fish? loser.

going through the quote tweets with my jaw hanging

The poem's about feeling disconnected and rejected, and the audience stumble over themselves to avoid connecting with it and to reject it. I kind of like how closely the sad fictional world of the poem and the callous reality dovetail together 💔

#i would never be sad i would never be sad i would never be sad <- internal monologue of the commentary

So fucking dumb. Is it so impossible to acknowledge being sad, vulnerable, lonely, imperfect, disconnected? These things are part of life. It's so ridiculous that just being human is so unacceptable. I blame capitalism.

colin / roy / ted (and bonus jamie) + touching their chests on “i have this ache” / “i give him love” / “sometimes i’m scared to get close to him” / “it’s like i got it in my soul” — requested by anonymous

I love this trend in all different manner of men having soft feelings and emotions and shit that we got going on lately in the TV box. That's a nice shift.

Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.

I’m curious!

Over 20?? Ok, Wow. I didn't START reading fic until I was over 20. Sheesh. You know people are actually still human beings until MUCH LATER in life right? Living, breathing human beings?

Tagged by @eiael-thinks ❤️ thank you!

Last song: Shrike by Hozier. I'm a little obsessed with it TBH. Also, Roses are Falling by Orville Peck.

Last show: I just finished the new season of Queer Eye. I'm never going to get tired of watching people being genuinely kind to others in my TV box. It was so sweet, as usual.

Current show: Black Sails. I'm rewatching it with my mom who's visiting me and had never seen it, and goddamn. Better than I remembered. Just so, so good. Also, Ted Lasso.

Currently reading: Eros the Bittersweet by Anne Carson, which is straight up 🔥, and as many collections of contemporary poetry as I can lay my hands on. Especially loving Ellen Bass's Mules of Love.

Current obsession: contemporary poetry and Supernatural. Yes, still. Come on, brain.
