That one is a part of my Peacemaker ‘verse! (Poly Serial Killers)
It will have to be re-worked before I actually post it because I changed details but it’s essentially PWP and Cas retaliating against Dean for the events of What You’re Good For (wherein Dean humiliates Jimmy). Cas gags Dean, canes him, and might choke him (I haven’t decided yet), so generally not good BDSM.
It’s a very… not good ‘verse lol.
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |
Totally counts! I love witch/familiar AUs. I just love witch fics in general but the animal transformation part really makes me happy. Especially when the grumpy familiar is a cute, cuddly animal.
Thanks!
Trope Rates!
Honestly I have no idea… Sometimes I just can’t make words work for a certain project. That’s part of why I work on multiple projects, so I can move *somewhere* and write *something*
I know that feeling. I’ve discovered that I can’t not have multiple projects to work on because sometimes I just need a break. It helps tremendously.
I’m just really trying to get one thing done. I want it out of the way before the end of the year and the finish line is in sight but that’s one of the times I tend to freeze the worst.
flannel: what’s your favorite day of the year? is there a reason it’s your favorite?
Halloween. I fricken love Halloween. It’s always been my favorite because it’s a great excuse to dress up and be spooky and scare yourself. Also fall is my favorite season.
apple picking: if you could go anywhere, where would it be and why?
The answer to this around this time of year is always California. Why? Amusement parks and scare walks. I highkey love the scare walks at Knott’s and Six Flags. I haven’t done Universal’s yet, which is really a shame, but I plan on it. The only thing better than roller coasters is roller coasters at night while dudes dressed like scarecrows sneak up behind you and go “boo”.

o.O that book (and class) sound fascinating. i’m by no means a civil war buff, but i am insanely curious to find out more about it, y’know?
Oh definitely. If you want I can see if I can dig out some book recs for you? Obviously it’s not gonna get into all the little things that make the war so interesting but there were actually a few factors that went into the whole thing. Like, it’s both too simplistic and also very accurate to say it was a war fought over slavery because while Southern landholders were absolutely enraged about the potential to not be able to expand slavery further into the West, Northerners by and large still wanted to compromise. There was still this attempt to balance the wants of two different wealthy classes but no one could maintain it. Something had to give and well… the South was the first to snap. The war itself was brutal and nasty. Human rights violations up the wazoo on all sides. Racism. Surgery in a time where surgery was still dangerous as hell in places that weren’t sanitary. And the Reconstruction of the South was pathetic and absolutely part of the reason we *still* have issues in the South today. (And not just race problems, either. Poor whites were still poor and racist and beholden to wealthy whites. Former slaves got fucked over into sharecropping and the cycle of poverty that created. The infrastructure was pitiful. Andrew Johnson was an awful president. Sprinkle in some of the Gilded Age economic boom and practices that benefited the North and West while leaving the South in the dust… well it’s not hard to see why we have issues.)
Sorry, I went on a bit of a ramble lol. But the American Civil War and it’s consequences are some of my favorite things to look at in American history.
So there are two big reasons my city became the metropolitan area it is now: tuberculosis and World War 2. I live in the Southwest, so when tuberculosis was endemic people tended to move to hot, dry climates to stop the disease from advancing. My city was home to 16 sanatoriums, two of which are actually still operational, they’re just hospitals now. (Another was torn down and a hotel was built on the grounds but they haven’t torn down the crematorium yet. So there’s literally a hotel with a crematorium like, two miles away from where I went to college.) By the late 1920s, 50% of the population of my city was either TB patients, their families, or other “health-seekers” hoping for relief from things like allergies and asthma. By the time WW2 rolled around, the city was also a home for military scientists and by the end of the war a new military base was set up where an airport used to be. We had a huge population growth after the war and we’re still working on science and technology in all different kinds of areas.
The American Civil War. One of my favorite courses in college was on the American Civil War and one of my favorite required readings was about various battles and sieges through a sensory perspective. It’s called “The Smell of Battle, The Taste of Siege” by Mark M. Smith. (I still have it somewhere in my “books I bought that the university won’t take back” box.) It really puts into perspective how brutal war was on different groups of people, including those who weren’t fighting it. The chapter on “taste” was all about the Siege of Vicksburg and how civilians were pushed to starvation. I know we don’t really think about it anymore, but the American Civil War really was brutal. It was also incredibly stupid for the South to fight given their infrastructure was shit and they needed the North to make any profit off anything.

can’t say i disagree about some of this… especially the michael dean. i’m interested to see where that goes, but i agree it didn’t feel like they adequately laid the groundwork for dean’s decision (though honestly i felt the same way about dean killing death or whatever a few seasons ago). all the meta writers were talking about it throughout the season, but i still didn’t really see the “hints”… how would a casual viewer feel about the finale if they don’t have (1)
the benefit of reading the meta writers who predict and harp on why/how/whatever of dean saying yes weeks before hand? (2/2)
I think about this, too. In some respects, it’s an easy prediction to make because as soon as they showed Michael and his wasteland world you could probably guess he wanted out. But at the same time I really hate things that are “shocking twists” just for the sake of shocking twists. In my opinion, meta should be a supplement. It should be there so you can get a better understanding of references that were made or how themes were laid out or things you might’ve missed. You should’ve have to rely on it to understand where the story is going or make a guess as to what’s ahead. I don’t know how casual viewers feel about the season 13 finale, but my inclination is that it probably felt like it was out of nowhere.
And I totally agree with you on the killing Death thing. The didn’t do very well with building up Dean’s loss of control imo. If they did that better, summoning Death and killing him would’ve made more sense.
Destiel, Fantasy AU
Dean and his brother Sam are young adventurers, sent out by the King to find the mythical Land of Sapphires, the place where all light magic is born, in order to save the kingdom from the darkness that’s been creeping into the land. But upon arriving to the mystical land, it’s clear that things are just as bad here as they are everywhere else.
The young prince Castiel has been taken, and with him the lifeblood of all magic. The Queen spares the last of her magic and her best mage to help the young adventurers find the wayward prince and save both worlds before it’s too late.
🙂 knew i could count on you
hehehe. There are two things I will always love 1) Terrible puns 2) Monsters
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |
Doesn’t even really matter what kind of creature, imo. Vampires, werewolves, demons, tentacle monsters, that fish dude from The Shape of Water, gargoyles, whatever, I’m up for it all.
