I’m very picky about the Disney films I watch. I really dislike their mainly musical nature. Makes me cringe so much.
Really? That’s interesting. I usually prefer the musical ones.
What are some of your favorites then?

I’m going to have to go with Some Things Last, because it’s the longest thing of yours I have read and I just finished it today. I know I left a comment on AO3, but I wanted to use the ask game as a chance to reiterate that I loved how not easy you made things. That everyone had to work through things, and how Dean didn’t believe, originally, that he could be a part of anything with Jimmy and Cas in each other’s lives. Seriously <3
Thank you!
It’s also the longest thing I’ve written to date. Maybe that will change but as of now it’s the longest thing I have up.
Some Things Last is so special to me. I really couldn’t make it easy on any of them because well, that would be too easy. 😉 They all had to grow and work through their own issues alone and together. And yeah, it was important to me that Dean not only has some issues believing that he couldn’t be a part of what Cas and Jimmy were together but that he act on that. All three of them are ridiculously stubborn and that had to have consequences.
Sam’s room in the Bunker has never really been made his space. Unlike Dean, he hasn’t put anything up on the walls…
Sam doesn’t decorate his walls because Jess was an artist and she used to decorate their walls with her original art. Sam just doesn’t feel right hanging anything on his walls, because what if something happens and he has to leave it all behind? His space is utilitarian because all it needs to do is provide him with a place to sleep and change clothes.
Sam does, however, have a special box under his bed, almost like a hope chest. It’s about the size of a cigar box and he keeps things from cases or people he’s met. Inside this box are some of Dean’s old jewelry, one of Bobby’s trucker hats, a charm bracelet Madison wore, ticket stubs from a movie he and Jess went to (they were still in his jeans when their place burnt down and it was just luck he still had them) the ugliest postcard he’s ever seen (Arizona if you’re curious), and a menu from the best bar and grill Sam and Dean ever visited (New Jersey, believe it or not). This box goes in the bottom of his duffle bag every single time he and Dean go on a hunt because he never knows if he’ll be able to go back to the bunker, but he’s got his most precious possessions with him everywhere.
I can handle PDA, cuddling, hand holding, but that’s because I want people to know who’s mine… And I really enjoy physical contact.
That makes sense. I myself need more personal space.
As well as identifying as demi, I know I’m towards the aro side of things too. A lot of romantic gestures make me feel awkward and uncomfortable in RL. My SO and I have a weekly date night for his benefit, but he’s done a lot to ensure that it’s quite low key so it doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I get what many romantic acts and gestures are but much of it really does make me shudder.
I feel ya. I’m aro but I didn’t know that was an actual thing until about a year ago. It might’ve made my last relationship better if I would have understood that and my fiance wouldn’t’ve felt like I didn’t want to with him because cuddling and PDA and romantic gestures make me super uncomfortable.
It;s good though that your SO keeps it lowkey and helps you be more comfortable.
Like you, if it’s a plot point I get it, and I can read it. However, IRL I’m useless. I can never tell if I’m flirting or being flirted with unless I’ve been drinking. Then I know I’m flirting (because I am super obvious and my flirting is like “you have pretty eyes and I think you’re super hot”).
Romance is… Tricky to write for me too.
How so? Is it that it’s kinda squicky for you or that it feels fake or that it’s hard to tell what’s romantic?
Because I have all of those problems.
Welp. I completely lost one file I was working on. Awesome.
@unforth-ninawaters
Yeah. It was my fault cause I had half a million tabs open but stil. It’s annoying.@samanddeaninpanties
I’ve used docs before but I kinda hate it. It’s useful for sharing with betas and stuff but I don’t like it. I dunno why. There’s no good reason for me to hate it, I just do.@samanddeaninpanties
😛 You say weird like it’s a bad thing, lol. I know I’m odd, I take great pride in that.@unforth-ninawaters
Drop box is great. I used to use that for sharing class notes in my giant history classes all the time. I don’t much anymore but maybe I should try it again. Usually I use the microsoft onedrive cloud. Microsoft has it’s issues, but it’s convenient. If I can’t take my laptop places I can take my tablet so I’ve definitely used it to get writing done in doctors offices from time to time. It wouldn’t hurt to save stuff in the drop box, too though. I’d probably lose fewer files.I’m starting to migrate over to Dropbox and LibreOffice for most of my fic writing needs.
I often have connection issues with Google Drive on desktop, and I’m already paying for a Dropbox so that all my photos are backed up.
Also switched to Linux Mint for main writing PC and Dropbox is available for the OS.
I don’t think I’ve tried LibreOffice. I know I downloaded another program in the past, (on a different computer) but it was difficult for me to use. (I don’t remeber what it was called.) I tend to get headaches if I stare at a white screen for too long, and the program I used didn’t allow me to change the color of the papre. I know it’s a super minor thing, but I like what I like.
Definitely willing to try LibreOffice, though.
You come first, always. And it’s totally fine to drop out… I’m considering dropping from DeanCas. I still want to write the story I’ve got, but do it at my own pace and it means I can focus on my TFWBB. *hugs* you do what you need to do.
*hugs* Thank you.
Same goes to you, of course. Working at your own pace is probably the best idea if you think you need to do that.
7. On salty asks…
7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
Meta. (This is gonna get me some shit, I know it.)
I really used to enjoy meta, and to some extent I still do, but I feel like the meta I like now discusses previous seasons and character development over time. I used to enjoy meta that was speculative, things that discussed what might happen and why, but these days that kind of thing irritates me to no end. Like, it’s one thing to speculate and talk about what you want to happen, that’s totally fine, but I feel like spn has let me down a few too many times in terms of me being able to see a cool plot that could come out of the stuff they’ve laid out only to lose their minds and pull something out of their asses last minute and not follow through with something that would’ve made more sense with the story threads.
Not only that, but spec meta is usually pretty ship focused and I’ve read the phrase “ship what you want but I don’t see it” way too many times. Like, sure, it’s okay that you don’t see it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there *cough cough* gothic themes of seasons 1&2 leading to an interpretation of a certain ship *cough cough*.
I don’t have anything against people who write and enjoy meta, that’s fine. We all engage with fandom in our own ways and if it make you happy and you’re not being a dick, have fun with it. I’ve just fallen out of love with it. I’d rather discuss themes of family sins in early season or hints of mental illness in characters than speculation. That’s just me though. Everyone is allowed to enjoy the show as they will.
Thanks!
