I also wish I had done more. Wish I had cared more about my future. I miss the people more than the school itself.

Do you still talk to people who you used to go to school with? I think the last time I saw any of the people I graduated with was… summer before I went to college. 

Thoughts on high school? More specifically, is there anything you miss?

I don’t miss high school. I’m always going to wish I had the opportunity to do *more* stuff, like I kinda wish I’d done light crew in the theater or went to more debate competitions or whatever, but honestly I don’t think that would’ve done me any good. It was an awkward, confusing time for me. 

I guess if there’s one thing I miss it would be the fact that the world seemed simpler and brighter and I went to the movies more. 

Thanks!

Ask me “thoughts on ___” 

Thoughts on phrases like everything happens for a reason? 🤔

I understand the sentiment behind it but I kind of hate it. Like, I tend to want to believe that there’s some kind of grand plan and all but a lot of the time the phrase “everything happens for a reason” is used when you don’t want to hear it and when you don’t need it. “Everything happens for a reason” kind of implies that there’s something to be gained or learned from even the worst experiences and I just… can’t wrap my head around that. I don’t really feel good about the idea that there’s a silver lining to everything because sometimes there’s just not. Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes we’re dealt a bad hand and given things we can’t handle on our own. It makes me unsettled. 

Thanks!

Would you ever write a survival / wilderness fic? It doesn’t have to be shippy. Maybe there was an accident and the main character or characters are forced to power through and survive. Maybe the character is running away from a marriage. Who knows. But they get lost and shit hits the fan. One could argue that The Dragon’s Keep counts but I’m thinking less supernatural creatures, more fear of the unknown.

Potentially.  

If it’s a fic that’s just one or two characters against nature I probably could but I tend to find those kinds of stories a little boring. It’s like camping except nature is trying to kill you, like the gods intended. So there’s a good angst factor, but I don’t know if I could maintain that for very long without getting bored myself. Maybe a one-shot or short fic but probably not something that stretches beyond three chapters or so. With stuff like this I’m always more interested in what’s required of the characters not just to survive, but to understand the person they’re trapped with. 

Let’s Play Writer’s Would You Ever!

1 – winjimstiel (or, if you’d rather, wincestiel, wincest, jimstiel, sastiel, sam/jimmy) 2 – pirate au, creature au, or serial killer au. 3 – haha, good luck keeping that three sentences 😉

“Sam – no – “ Jimmy tries to shove at Sam’s chest but it’s as if all strength has left his body. Somewhere, deep in his awareness, he’s panicking, screaming, thrashing against the magic that makes his body feel weak and numb, but that voice, that understanding of the situation, feels far away. Jimmy mumbles something and relents only vaguely conscious of the warmth of his own blood running down his neck and Sam’s suckling.

*shrug* If you’re apprehensive give Dean a different mental illness/issue to struggle with. Because… Yeah. People don’t become serial killers if they’re stable, ya know? It’s generally a mixture of nature and nurture.

Yeah, it’s true. 

This may be a controversial statement, but I don’t believe anyone is just evil, you know? People choose to do awful things for a wide range of reasons and often times some of those reasons are undiagnosed/untreated/incorrectly treated mental disorders. Obviously, not everyone who struggles with mental illness will do bad things… duh… but some do. I feel like, with this AU specifically, Dean would have to have some form of delusion probably with religious overtones, in order to do what he does. If I did, no matter what issue I choose for Dean, I would do the best I possibly could to be accurate. But therein lies the issue for me; I don’t know if I should. It’s a bit of a moral issue. The things that Cas, Jimmy, and Sam struggle with in the series are noticeable but not in your face the way all my ideas about Dean would be. I don’t know if that makes it better or worse, but that’s the reality of it. 

I dunno. It’s something I’ve been struggling with for a while.
