Wen Ning's greatest skill is something he doesn't have the fine motor control for anymore. His aspirations of cultivation and leadership died with him. His bravery and willingness to act radically in the face of injustice were consumed by Wei Wuxian's necromantic control and the resentment he can no longer suppress.
Do you think he congratulates himself on being able to live without it? On being able to handle Wen Qing and Wei Wuxian deciding how his life will go and not considering his feelings? Does he mentally tell himself, "at least I'm not like Jiang Cheng"?
That speech didn't come out of nowhere. Do you think about him often, Wen Ning?
Does it burn to know he doesn't think of you?
(What would it mean to you to know that Jiang Cheng did try to save you, after all? That he did think of you?)

Things I have heard from white cis men in academia, and from them only :
What are even "emerging voices" ?
Are you sure there is any Euro-centrism to push back against, in this discipline?
I mean I've never done it, but I might as well apply for it ! *gets an interview for the job*
I don't think there really is an issue of gender at the Department [gender balance: 80/20]
Writes an article about gender bias - with three other men only.
But why would you put so much effort in that

What if Sam told Jess all about hunting? What if, in the years they were together, they encountered a ghost or a werewolf or something else? (Not a demon; they don’t know that’s what’s wrong with Brady, they don’t know that there are others, waiting and watching and planning.)
So when Dean comes to Stanford, “Dad’s on a hunting trip,” Sam doesn’t respond with secrecy. He asks “What was he hunting?” and “Where?” and when he leaves with Dean, Jess goes with them. Because she knows, because she’s seen a few things too, because Sam needs her support if he’s gonna get in his brother’s car and sit beside him and feel the guilty longing again.
What if Sam told Jess everything?
What if Jess wasn’t there to be killed, what if she didn’t burn on the ceiling of their home? What if it was someone else - a friend, a family member, a sister - and she’s got a need for revenge now too? So she goes on the road with Sam and Dean. And Dean tries not to be jealous every time he sleeps on the other side of a thin motel wall, hears Sam and Jess in bed together, wraps a thin pillow around his head to try and muffle the sound of them.
What if he can’t take that distance after Bloody Mary attacks Sam, pretends the motel they stop at doesn’t have two rooms available, stays awake to watch Sammy sleep and he didn’t expect Jess to be the big spoon and stay awake too. What if Jess and Dean get talking, and the only thing they really have in common is Sam so that’s what they talk about. And he doesn’t quite know how, but he finds himself talking about how he always feels like a piece of him is missing if Sam isn’t next to him (and it might be a chick flick moment but that’s okay because he’s talking to a smoking hot woman) and Jess gets a thoughtful look on her face before saying “You can hold him, too.”
And… “what?”
“He almost died today. I need to hold him, I bet you do too. You can, if you want to.”
What if Dean climbs into bed with his brother and his brother’s girlfriend, wraps an arm around them both because Jess is tight against Sam’s back, hooks his leg over Sam’s the way they used to when they were kids. And he’s finally able to sleep, with Sam’s head tucked under his chin.
What if Sam never mentions waking up pressed between the two of them, but they start sharing a bed regularly and Dean’s never slept better and Jess is smiling because neither has Sam.
What if Sam had told Jess everything, and she can see that Dean wants the same thing, so she decides to help the man she loves with her whole heart get the brother he loves with his?
And it works out, because somehow they’ve ended up with Sam burying his face in her pussy and Dean holding Sam’s hips while he fucks into him. And when they fall asleep sated, in a tangle of sweaty limbs, something about it feels more right than anything they’ve ever had.
They feel whole.

WAIT GUYS IT'S LIKE 1 AM AND I NEED TO SLEEP BUT OH MY GOD TMA COMMUNITY AU
Jon is abed nadir
Brown
Autistic
How much different is film making and an entrenched need to See and Know everything really?
Vaguely off putting
Gets bitches when he wants to
Listen abed is just college Jon, back when he was less traumatised
Evil abed would be Jon in like S4/5 I guess
Does that make Martin Troy Barnes????
It doesn't quite work cause Martin is neither athletic, nor a himbo and Troy wouldn't know how to use a kettle
I don't know
ELIAS IS DEAN PELTON. FUCK YEAH
GAY
(well pan technically but comes off as A Gay Man)
Tell me that when the jig is up and he's like ah caught them might as well enjoy tormenting them while I can, he wouldn't be a fucking nightmare boss dressing up in costumes
He'd be like how's my favourite archival team?????????
Low key evil and high key manipulative
But super pathetic in the end
Oh my god guys I'm so right
Sasha I think would be Britta
I know Britta was made fun of a lot for her feminist views and stuff but obviously nowadays those views are more accepted
She's got the same level of fierce determination and love for everyone around her, even if she doesn't go about it right
She would totally hack into somewhere if she could
Yeah it makes sense...sort of
Wait would Peter Lukas be pierce???
Old racist white man
Homophobic gay
Has a dynasty
Yeah
Tim could be Jeff I could maybe see that
THE RAGE
THE SUAVE
THE DADDY ISSUES
That one time where Jeff just
WAIT FUCK NO. JEFF ATTACKS A TABLE WITH AN AXE. HES JON.
Wait wait wait this makes a bit more sense
Cause Jeff cons his way into becoming a lawyer
He has huge imposter syndrome, he's faking it all
Just like Jon is
Except he's doing a better job
So imagine Jon if he had major daddy issues and a bit more charisma
They have the same level of not chill but desperately trying to cover it up
Like that one episode where pierce tries to find his dad
And he freaks the fuck out
That's such a Jon coded freaking out
He literally tears a magazine in half and then shrieks into mid air
YESSSSSSSSSSS ugh I'm such a genius
Also Jon and Elias relationship mirrors the deans and jeffs
Like the homoerotic favouritism guys
How the dean blackmails Jeff into doing karaoke with him OH MY GOD.
He only difference is the faked confidence and charisma, Jeff does it better
Oh my god wait is daisy fucking CHANG????
Insane
Murderous
Chang once chased a monkey through a vent
The hunt vibes
Or maybe chang is michael
They're both completely and utterly nonsensical
Just sort of appears and everyone is worse for it
Makes everyone's head hurt
I'm 10000% certain Chang has stabbed someone before and would do it again
Yeah that man is the most avatar of the spiral I've ever seen
Basira could be the sane security guard
Georgie is that one girl in season 6, the one who used to be a IT person
Melanie would be Annie I think, she's definitely murderous enough
This has GRIPPED me and will not let go.
