Supernatural is not a good show. In fact, it is pretty objectively terrible. It has moments of brilliance and potential, but it squanders it most of the time.
But there will never be another show like this one.
Supernatural was a show where pretty much anything could happen, and it went on long enough that pretty much everything did. It went from a straightforward, procedural monster-hunting show to a weird, meta parody of itself where the main characters beg for freedom from a cruel and all-powerful writer controlling their fate.
Supernatural was a show made for cishet white men that gained an audience of anything but, and spent years struggling with that dissonance. It became multiple shows at once to appeal to its vastly varied fanbase and, when faced with the need to choose an ending and decide its identity once and for all, ended up angering everyone.
Supernatural was a show that the writers completely and utterly lost control of. I don't think the writers of 04x01 Lazarus Rising could have ever in a million years imagined the events of 15x18 Despair. It became a monster bigger than itself because of the energy of its fanbase. The show itself briefly became a mirror of this dissonance in its final season, before the show finally tried to regain control and ended the way that it did.
Supernatural has had an impossibly impactful mark on internet and fandom culture. It has changed this website in tangible ways that won't be forgotten anytime soon. It was the 12-year-long queerbait, the one that would serve as the scale against which to compare all queer ships before and after. It spawned the only ship to date with over 100,000 fanfics on ao3. It was the homosexual homophobic show. The world's longest, most drawn-out hate crime. And it ended it all with superhell, tetanus, and party city wigs.
Supernatural is not a good show. But it is undoubtedly fascinating and influential. I want to study this show endlessly. It is just so fully insane to me.
Anyways, I'll be posting about this show A LOT tomorrow as well so sorry to my non-supernatural mutuals. I'm jealous that you are not cursed with the burden of knowledge that is this show.
Literally. This plot driver is so f stupid it makes no sense. It is in itself a motherfucking plothole. Everytime it pops up somewhere I just laugh cuz it’s do fucking stupid.
I always laugh when vampires plan to block out the sun and make it eternal nighttime because... what are you going to eat? Humans, animals, and plants require sunlight to survive. Soon enough, everything will die, and what will be left?
Nothing but vampires and their shitty plans.

The week before a trip
I have one week left before my 2 week trip to Japan as a foreign student. I’m excited, anxious, sort of scared. Also absolutely overwhelmed by piles of homework the new semester has thrust upon me.
I worry for the coming trip and whether I have the language skills to stand out and socialize with everyone.
The coming weeks will likely determine what the next decade of my life will look like, and I find myself at a crossroads; will I go study a new career or specialization in Norway, or Japan?
I’ve been pondering that question for a while now. Whether I should go spend 4 years studying in Norway or Japan; to which country am I going to dedicate years of my life to?
Which one is safest for me? Which one will offer the most cultural enrichment and knowledge? Which will nurture my true nature?
I don’t know the answers. I suppose time will tell.
Hear me please
“And as your breath leaves you, you’re taking my heart with you.”
“Please Eddie..Please come back to me… Don’t go where I can’t follow!”
“Please.. Please! If there ever was something listening to me, please hear me now! Please… don’t take him..”
‘Eddie damn you you stupid nerd. You stole my heart and now you’re taking my humanity with you.’
[Excerpt from my thought library, where I spend a shit ton of time writing my own fic for Eddie with an SPN crossover, simping for the bambi eyed freak and mourning him.]
All for you
“Anything else to add my love, Countess ruler of my undead heart?”
“I shared the life of me so you may live. You are the best gift the world has ever given me. You will not die today, Eddie the Banished. Because if you did, I’d raze this place to the ground and myself down with it.”
[Excerpt from my thought library, where I spend most of the time writing an Eddie fic with a nonsense setting and simping for my bambi freak.]
A little thought
Time cuts short whatever reverie I chase, every moment’s rest. Swamped by personal ambitions, the strain of a new semester’s pressures and expectations, and a soon coming trip to Japan, I find myself scrambling for something firm to hold on to.
Not because I’m feeling sadness or agony or overwhelming stress. Well, I am stressed. But what floods me is excitement in the uncertainty for the future and my hopes for it. It stresses me out, of course, makes me anxious.
However, I’m excited to discover what the world may have yet in store for me. At this point in my life, I believe the wicked hand fate dealt me is already over, and we’re now playing a new game. No more horrible events in my life will come to pass, I know. All the strife and grief and sorrow I went through is already over.
Now I’m supposed to heal and look for new paths into the future. Decide which I will take. Whether that is the path to Europe or Asia for my future studies; will I go study in Norway or Japan? And if so, will I study the same thing I do now, or something different?
I worry about my worth and skills to survive in the workforce in a crumbling society where there’s barely any difference between middle and lower class anymore. Where everywhere you go you see divides with no bridges.
Hm. Uncertain but excited. Perhaps for the first time looking forward to an uncertain, unknown future. Isn’t that fascinating?
I dont care if this isnt possible irl. But, fr, can they turn them into a balloon dragon??
going to get your tubes tied and when ur done ur doctor shows you an ultrasouns and he’s tied them into a perfect baloon dog :)
Aand ao3 is back!
Go appreciate writers and volunteers!
I wuv this
If I had a nickel for every time an ethereal being realized they're in love with the person they've been dating for centuries but still refuse to acknowledge as their friend, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that Neil Gaiman did it twice.
I have no idea how this came to be, but it’s national treasure now. Gimme gimme more. Now.
Take Your Kid to Work Day (with Dream's decidedly more alarming version of an artist rendering their kid's drawing)
Omg ao3 collapsed cuz of a ddos attack. All the addicts are going crazy without a fix.
I’m one of em.
I’d planned to participate in this year’s wattys, under the fantasy category. However, I revised the rules, checked the deadlines again, calculated how much time I had to work on my entry, and realized that it is wiser to wait until next year.
When it comes to something like the wattys, or any other serious competition you’d like to take part of, you mustn’t rush. I was going to rush to make it to the deadline. I realized that’d compromise the quality of my work and my chances of winning. I want to dish out the very best I can give of myself, by myself.
I cannot give my best if I rush to a deadline without having much time to revise. Sad, but the wattys will have to wait for me.
Sometimes, we all need to hear this. Success, a small victory, is not the conclusion of the journey. And failure is not the fatal abrupt end of it.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

🚨Please stop scrolling — Mutual Aid Request 🚨
I started a new job this week! Yay!!!!!
However I need some help. You see between now & when I get paid, I don’t have any source of income for things like bills and food that can’t be put off.
I need $300 this month for help with expenses that I can’t postpone until after I get paid.
(Originally it was higher, but Twitter helped me get a little over halfway there. I forgot to post here too for a bit. I’m putting off everything that I can afford to until my first paycheck, which should be at the end of the month.)

Please reblog!
If more people see it, there’s a better chance someone who can help even a smidge will see it too. That’s why shares matter. So if nothing else, please reblog! It makes a difference, I promise.
Thank you for your help as I get back on my feet. 💛
Is it just me, or is tumblr infested with bots recently?
I just updated my fantasy novel! (Still working on editing the 1 part cuz I’m not very convinced. Will probably edit this newest one more too)
Me writing the most traumatic experience for my protagonist:
Writer things
Me doing research/studying for my novel:
-I’m just gonna read this passage of this book
Three hours later*
-Oh fuck
no but I adoreeee the role reversal between kitty and puss when it comes to traditionally masculine/feminine roles in the last wish like idk if it was the same in pib 1 but the way kitty takes the lead when they’re dancing?? she’s his equal in strength not ‘weak cause she’s a woman’ or ‘so powerful her personality is overhauled so she can be a cardboard cutout Strong Woman’?? kitty isn’t left at the altar, she leaves of her own volition because she has a strong handle on what she’s worth and what she deserves?? puss gets to be vulnerable and feel afraid and need others help without it somehow being an attack on his masculinity or it detracting from his bravery?? kittys the one who catches puss in that romantic ass dip when he falls on the boat?? by god he even wears eyeliner. bi4bi girlboss/malewife fr
Great analysis, you read my mind. I agree, this movie is a masterpiece when it comes to writing and character growth, mostly representation of fears that stop us from living our lives to the fullest; being vulnerable, showing your weaknesses to others, is a natural, great fear.
As the say, there’s nothing scarier than being known, and allowing yourself to be known.
The amount of details and efforts Dreamworks just put into this comedy fairy tale spinoff movie.. even the whole soundtracks are so great..
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT AND REALIZATION
He’s wearing eyeliner, oh my god?
my thoughts on the movie
I KNOW WE ALL FREAKING LOVED THIS. But also. THE MUSIC. Like, we gotta talk about the soundtrack. The guitar flamenco style was just so beautiful and brilliant, you could dance to the soundtrack.
This is the fantasy novel I’m writing! I’ve been developing this story since it first came to me when I was 14. Now, I’m making the effort to make this dream a reality.
If you want to read a fantasy story with diversity, conflicts, lots of characters, emotional growth, amongst other things, go take a look!
Because we’re on the 2 chapter, and things are about to kick off for real!
Me with my fantasy novel lmaooo
JENNA IS OUR VOICE SAY IT LOUDER
Another instance where Wednesday is comfortable with Enid.
Enid putting her arm around Wednesday and shaking her shoulders so sHES JUST FREELY TOUCHING HER AND WEDNESDAY DOESNT PULL AWAY OR SHOW DISGUST IFNSIDBAIDNA
I just finished Wednesday and I just wanted to share some opinions, My first and this is not even an opinion it’s a fact, Thing is the best character in the whole fucking show. Fight me idc. Opinion two, I think aromatic Wednesday would be literally amazing (or if Enid and Wednesday got together). I just don’t like any of the love interests, the chemistry is just not there. My third and final opinion is that Wednesday outfits slay so mf hard. Anyways that’s it, I love this show.🫶🏽
