OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

truly impressive how d&d persuades so many people to willingly participate in both math AND improv, two things that most of the population goes out of their way to avoid

some much needed positivity

a little list of some positive projects coming out of the spnfamily right now:

- The Castiel Project: A fundraiser for The Trevor Project, an organization for suicide prevention for queer youth. The Castiel Project is a positive outlet for the outrage at the CW’s homophobia. Donate here if you have the means. Reblog this to signal boost.

- Ramble On: A WIP rewrite of s6-15 of SPN by @rambleoncas and @thiscastielhasflown along with the team they’re assembling. Find details @rambleonspn and drop an ask if you have questions or words of support.

- Superior Natural: Similar concept to Ramble On, but from the beginning. Find them @spnrewrite and on their discord linked on the blog if you’d like to support or contribute. I don’t know as much about it or the people involved but I’m happy to signal boost as it seems like a positive effort.

This is by no means a complete list! I encourage you all to rb and add anything you want to signal boost as well!

i love tragedy i love circular narratives i love ppl who cannot escape their fate & characters that have been dead since the beginning

“they” (1 word) is shorter than “he or she” (3 words)

“they” is more inclusive than “he/she”

“themself” flows more naturally than “him or herself”

“they” is less clunky than “(s)he”

it’s time to replace the awkward “she or he”

Hello, I'd like you to publish my story. I'm from Gaza, Palestine, I live with my parent's , wife & three brothers.

Suffering from the scourge of war in GAZA 10/2023 to Now that's 304 Days.

Words can't describe the life we ​​live & the pain. It's like a horror movie, & death grabs us from every side.

Many of our Children & Women, died due to the war.

The sewage is drained into the Drinking Water & sea. Many of people infected with hepatitis & the deadly polio virus.

Therefore, Please help us by sharing or donating to travel from Gaza & build a new life.

Your presence by our side makes our life better.

Thank you.

pick-me-ups for writers

for the self-conscious beginner: No one makes great things until the world intimately knows their mediocrity. Don’t think of your writing as terrible; think of it as preparing to contribute something great.

for the self-conscious late bloomer: Look at old writing as how far you’ve come. You can’t get to where you are today without covering all that past ground. For that, be proud.

for the perfectionist: Think about how much you complain about things you love—the mistakes and retcons in all your favorite series—and how you still love them anyway. Give yourself that same space.

for the realist: There will be people who hate your story even if it’s considered a classic. But there will be people who love your story, even if it is strange and unpopular.

for the fanfic writer: Your work isn’t lesser for not following canon. When you write, you’ve created a new work on its own. It can be, but does not have to be, limited by the source material. Canon is not the end-all, be-all. 

for the writer’s blocked: It doesn’t need to be perfect. Sometimes you have to move on and commit a few writing sins if it means you can create better things out of it.

for the lost: You started writing for a reason; remember that reason. It’s ok to move on. You are more than your writing. It will be here if you want to come back.

one of my greatest hits, tbh

take me with you. : road trip plot where muse a and muse b are like college roommates/best friends x1000 like they practically spend every moment with each other and everything and stay up all night watching reruns of their favorite shows, sharing almost every meal bc they’re cheap like that and don’t mind, having shitty jobs with huge dreams and all that. muse a has a long distance high school sweetheart bf/gf who moved across country for school/job and when their relationship starts to strain, muse a reallllly feels strongly about driving across country to see them to try and fix things (they also might suspect the person is cheating on them). flying ain’t an option bc they’re intensely scared of being in the air & also they have no car. that’s where their partner in crime, muse b comes in. muse b has the car, soundtrack, and the navigational skills, muse a has the money, the lively company, and the snacks. they ditch classes for about a week or something and plan it out vaguely but end up just bullshitting the rest of the trip there. 

attention: this is the MEAT of the plot!!!!! they go clubbing, visit lame museums, become extras in a movie, get kicked out of zoos/parks or some shit, stay in crappy motels, get stalked by someone who muse b is convinced a total psycho, attend festivals and act like total kids, are forced to take lots and lots and LOTS of detours, end up fixing the car once or twice, go camping in an abandoned barn/middle of nowhere/other shady place, crash random weddings, get arrested, almost start the apocalypse, and so much more. 

of course tons of weird, sexual tension and maybe even some things happen on the trip that they don’t wanna speak about which kind of adds some tension there (hell tbh they might not even reach their destination and decide to turn around) BUT if they make it to where they need to go in a matter of what was supposed to be a week trip ( now probably 2 or 3), muse a goes looking for their long distance bae when they get there and then gets their heart broken while muse b is there to help pick up the pieces. and then muse b picks this time when they’re gong back home to confess how they’ve always loved muse a but the past week(s) they’ve started to really, really fall in love with them and they don’t wanna ruin what they have and blah blah. muse a is confused, vulnerable but can’t deny that they’ve always felt this stronger connection with muse b compared to everyone else in their lives. then the two of them start to figure out their lives from there and learn how to love and give and GROW and accept and celebrate and so many fluffy and angsty things. FUCK. 

bonus points if: 

it’s a f/f or m/m plot and they have to do a lot of coming out to each other and then to family and friends back home

muse a does not feel the same way when muse b confesses their love at first and they have a really big, emotional, enlightening blow-upppp

when/if they get back home, muse b’s ex comes back in their life and becomes an obstacle between them and muse a

i know everybody is excited about potential victor/benji scenes, but i also hope we get to see more romantic interests between other characters of color. especially the queer ones.
