I mean, that’s the beauty and the inconvenience of multishipping, right? I think of an AU and I screams a different pairing because the personalities of certain characters just work better, you know? So it’s cool I get to explore other ships but then I forget about my favorite ship b/c these other ships work better or something. I don’t love my otp less or anything, I just get distracted, kind of.

@samanddeaninpanties
My tagging is a fuckin mess so you’re probably right. I’m probably forgetting some things and I’m too lazy to check my ao3 rn.
I don’t feel bad about it at all. I love writing rare pairs. I think I just kinda realized the last destiel one-shot I did was in October and I guess I miss that? Like, I haven’t wriiten more on that competition semi-public sex series and I kinda want to but I’ve been busy with other fics. I don’t feel bad, I just guess I miss them, if that makes any sense at all. I mean, UtS was finished in May so it’s not *that* long since I’ve written them, I’m just angsting I guess.

@samanddeaninpanties
Yup. That was me. I still haven’t written anything from Cas’s POV either. Stupid finale. *kicks rocks*
It is pretty dumb isn’t it? I keep thinking “I haven’t done anything this year!” But I’ve put out at least two short fics every month and a new chapter of a work every month except for April and June. And I’ve posted two bangs already. Plus whatever else I’ve thrown out just ‘cause. Like, the word count is obviously evident of effort this year.
I think a lot of it has to do with how easily distrated I am. I write a whole bunch on a fic, get bored, write something else, get bored, lather, rinse, repeat. So I *feel* like I’m not doing jack squat but I *am*.
*sigh* But you’re right. I’m not giving myself credit. I’ve been doing stuff and that stuff hasn’t been nothing.

@samanddeaninpanties
I am. I mean, I know that I have had several large projects I’ve done this year and a lot of little ones I’ve thrown out there, too, it was just kind of an interesting observation I made while looking at my ao3 works. Of 41 works, 38 are complete and most of those aren’t Dean/Cas. Or, if they are, they’re Dean/Cas/Sam or Dean/Cas/Jimmy or Dean/Cas/Jimmy/Sam. (13 of the finished things are tagged Dean/Cas. Idk how many are *just* Dean and Cas though.)
I dunno. I guess it’s just odd. I haven’t even had AUs I just *have* to write for Dean and Cas. I’m not out of ideas, I’m just not playing with them as much as I expected to, I suppose. I do have one of the follower fics that’s destiel so that will be new and fun.

I love that it went to charity too. I spent most of year suicidal so I wanted to get the semicolon to commemorate that because I survived dammit. My hold up has been that I want to get a variation – like, I’ve seen pictures where it’s integrated into a picture of a butterfly, that kind of thing – but haven’t yet decided what I want. That and money. 🙂

I can completely understand that. If there’s ever a reason to get a commemorative tattoo, surviving that year is definitely it!
I’ve seen those variations, too. I really like the Sol Invincus one, (the one with one dot and six tails around it in a circle) but I just haven’t added to it yet. You could always just get the semicolon and add a variation later, if you wanted. (But it’s probably easier to get the whole thing done at once.)

I know people in my high school that look like you or older. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found you sitting in 11th grade classroom in a little less than two months.
(I don’t mean to offend, you look young, that’s a good thing. 😉 )

Oh, no worries. I’ve looked pretty much the same since I was sixteen, basically. If I can find them I might post one of my junior prom pics. I pretty much look the same then as I do now (or at least I think so)

I’ve been wanting to get one of those…

I got mine about… two years ago? I think? It was for a fundraiser for the local suicide and crisis hotline in town. If you went to one of the tattoo parlors they specified on a specific day the profits on the tattoo went to the help line.
I think I paid $70 for the tattoo and tip.
I got it for the charity and the symbolism, as someone who’s struggled with mental health issues basically all my life. It’s been a good reminder that nothing is really permanent unless I choose to make it that way on several occasions.

You look so young though! You’re so pretty, too!!

Thank you!
I’m only 23, actually. (24 in two months) It’s funny though, because when I was a teenager I was always mistaken for early 20s. I have no idea how old I look now, though. (People I’ve talked to on the phone or the internet before I meet them in person usually assume late twenties.)
