FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.

[youtube with closed captions]

dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.

(via @closetoyou1970)

#spn #vid #mind the warnings on this one for real #woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye. #pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl. #also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise #anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator #is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else #and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters #that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's #not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under #alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does #because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it #so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way #i am using them to make my argument. #oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to. #i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through #into everything in his life #that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.

Clockwork sneezed.

Then he paused. He never sneezes. He’s a ghost; ghosts don’t get sick. Not since he locked up the last Ghost Virus in his vaults. Why did he sneeze?

He sneezed again. Oh no, was that a headache coming on? His eyes felt tired and his skin was itchy. Was that a tickle in his throat?? Were those spots on his arm?? Shit, time to go check on his vaults to make sure nothing escaped. All hell would break loose if there was a ghost epidemic again.

Clockwork turns to leave the room, and in his haste, his scepter taps the very edge of a tall and thin grandfather clock he’d just been working on. The clock was made from a red-stained cottonwood he’d procured from the heart of Kansas many years ago, and it was gilded in delicate gold that shone with age and looked well-loved. Despite its height, the clock was a strong one, and didn’t tip over when the Ghost of Time bumped it.

It did, however, shift a few of the loose cogwheels inside. A few of them dropped out of the clock, and one even fell to the floor and rolled away. The ones that stayed inside rattled ominously for a moment before settling into their new spots. The clock kept ticking, but the time was off now. It skipped a few seconds, just enough for a listener to notice, before suddenly reversing the hour and minute hands.

Too bad there was nobody nearby to pay attention to the now-broken clock.

—

Danny was a strange boy. He knew that. Everyone in Amity knew that. Even his mentor, Clockwork, called him strange every once in a while. He liked being strange. It was fun being unpredictable. Having a Time Medallion stuck in his chest certainly helped in his shenanigans, since it meant he was technically separate from the time streams. He had pulled off more than one prank on his pseudo-grandfather by using this to his advantage.

Sometimes, however, Danny’s freedom from the time stream caused him more trouble than he thought it was worth. Like right now, for example.

He was simply at home, battling dinner with his sister while his parents were making a batch of fudge. Suddenly, Danny felt the time stream shift and writhe in a way he’d never felt before. He shivered and sneezed, thinking nothing of it. Clockwork made tiny adjustments all the time, there was nothing to worry about.

Except there was. When he opened his eyes, there was now a baby in his house.

One minute it was just him and Jazz at the table, the next, a baby in a red high chair was giggling and clapping along with Jazz as she tried to cut up the double-dead hotdogs into smaller bits for the child to eat.

The baby wasn’t a ghost, Danny knew. But when he looked around, evidence of a baby living in the Fenton house laid everywhere. The rocking chair in the living room now had a side table with two empty bottles on it. Pictures hanging in the hall had been changed to include the child. Toys were scattered around every corner, just waiting to be stepped on. Neither Jazz nor his parents had blinked at the sudden change.

In fact, Danny discovered, everyone in Amity Park seemed to think that this baby had always been with them. Even his best friends and rogues didn’t bat an eye! Danny was now a middle child, while everything else stayed the same.

But Danny knew. He knew something was wrong. This baby didn’t belong here.

He had to talk to Clockwork. He had to find out who this child was.

The child named Clark K. Fenton.

#DPxDC #pondhead blurbs #okay stay with me here #clockwork was adjusting Superman’s clock and bumped it #this messed up the timeline #so baby Clark ended up with the Fentons in Illinois instead of with the Kents in Kansas #Danny: who the fuck is this child #Sam and Tucker: >:0!!! don’t talk about your baby brother that way!!! #oh and the K in Clark’s middle name is literally just the letter K #it does not stand for anything in this timeline

See, in the second episode of s4 we see that the panic room actually looks sort of cozy. It's fortified like crazy and whatever, but inside there's beds, there's a couch, there's a desk and books and pictures!! So my question is - why did they take all this stuff out when they threw Sam in there?? I mean were they scared he could use something in there as a weapon?? He was already locked in a steel metal box what was he going to be able to do - even with his powers? Did Dean call Bobby up and was like alright Sam is sucking demon blood we need to lock him up - make sure it's as uncomfortable as possible tho. Lets go to the extra effort of taking everything of comfort out of there so this detox is as uncomfortable as possible. Like sure, take dangerous stuff out of there but they couldn't have given him a book or something? Why did he have to sit there with nothing to do but focus on his horrific withdrawal symptoms?

#supernatural #spn #sam winchester #dean winchester #look i get it #it was not one of sams brightest moments #but the way he was literally treated like a feral animal here was crazy #or like they couldn't have left the valve open and talk to him a bit?? #keep him company for a little wee bit #idk man like i just think he wouldve liked to have a book or something to do #or at least an extra pillow #like they gave him some water and a bare prison bed and were like yep lets help him detox this will make him comfy as he pushes through <3

just been thinking about the road goes on and specifically frodo's wistful, longing-for-adventure acapella bit at the start...

vs. sam calling it out to frodo, using it to say goodbye as frodo makes his way to the boat, and frodo's harmony with sam, and how much it just WRECKS ME

#loren talks #LOTR musical #the lord of the rings: a musical tale #louis maskell #nuwan hugh perera #IDK IDK MAN THE //FEELING// IN NUWAN'S VOICE AT THE END. CRYYYY. cry!!! and the DIFFERENCE between louis at the start vs the end. CRY! #ik in at least some version of the west end they use the 'so beyond the moon and behind the sun' as the goodbye but frodo DOESN'T harmonise #with sam and. i just. this. the way they did it here. SOBBING!!! WEEPING!!!

I genuinely feel like Alan Wake 2 has reconfigured my brain chemistry on a completely new level. Like no joke, I feel like I was one person before this game and now I’m someone else after. No I am not being dramatic

#alan wake 2 #maybe it’s just the hyperfixating talking #but every time I think about the layers of storytelling my mind explodes #and I gotta hand it to this fandom I’m blown away by the creativity and passion of its fans #it’s fun to be here at the beginning to witness the collective hype and interest #this game is special and deserves all the love #it’s hard to explain but I feel very seen as a writer/creator in a way I hadn’t experienced before with another piece of media #like obv sam lake is not the first to write meta commentary on writing as a whole #but this one just hits hard #and maybe that’s why I’ve written 50k words in one month alone #bc this game is just doing something to my brain to inspire it

[prototypelq]

Reasons to look up/play (if you can) Alan Wake 2:

- this in-universe ad

- multiple music numbers

#this is peak 'the horrors are endless but we stay silly' energy xD #im watching a playthrough and this is the thing #the sam lake genius cringe thing I love it so much #just the first hour and so many name-droping bombs too xDDD #you just know remedy had the time of their lives making this #also the acting and mocap are like extremely good I thought that tech peaked with Death Stranding but apparently not wow #im having a blast here and you will too if you engage with it in any way you like) #playing the game would certainly be ideal but remedy games are also the Real proper inverse of the 'gamemovie' genre #'interactive cinema' games have you walk around and talk and maybe choose something #alan wake 2 is a playable Movie and you're the star/actor/viewer/narrator/4th wall break? #btw just the first hour in and already meaningful questions about narratives characters their agencies inside etc etc are popping up #thank you sam lake #alan wake 2 #alan wake #saga anderson #she's a mom a detective and wears a sweater i like her more than i thought i would #sam lake #remedy entertainment

i've been seeing rumors that apparently discord filehosting will no longer be functional by the end of the year (no source for it yet from discord itself but there are a lot of people discussing it here and on reddit). this means if you're lazy like me and use discord to host the images you use in your games, like so:

it will no longer work. the image still exists, but that link doesn't, and it won't show in my sidebar. this link in the code is from june/july of this year, and here is a different discord link that i just generated today, and you can see the difference with these new query parameters, is, ex, & hm:

i'm not sure if that link in my code will expire in the same way these new links will, since obviously my old link does not have these parameters, but i figure it's better to be safe than sorry. so this is me telling you to get an account on an actual filehosting website like mediafire (that's where im going) or dropbox, etc

even if this does end up just being a rumor/not set in stone, it's a good excuse to move your images onto an actual hosting site.

obviously you may also include your images in the .zip file that you upload onto itch.io, so this may be completely irrelevant for some of you, but i tend not to do that because...? i like to make things difficult for myself.

#actually the reason i did it this way for tnp is bc i didnt know how to do it any other way back then lmfao #and then for bc i just. did it that way again because. thats just how i am #tho i use zip files for both now and do know how to link photos within them again im just lazy #to be clear i am NOT an authority on this i saw another post here talking abt it and looked around and saw ppl on reddit discussing the sam #*same #im just kinda rephrasing their words. im an idiot. hence me hosting my files this way to begin with lmfao #interactive fiction #<- putting it in the tag

actually wait can Jack possess people? I guess it doesn’t really matter because he can if I say he can and anyway what if he possessed Sam :3

#spn #sam winchester #jack kline #he gets in there and goes oh!!! it feels like Lucifer in here!!! comfy!!! #and then refuses to leave. Sam is safer with him in there!!! #and dean has let angels possess Sam before so why not Jack! they know Jack! Jack won’t lie to them or trick them! he’s only going to help!!! #Jack grace-soul curled up inside Sam’s chest in a way Sam can never not feel. he doesn’t or can’t hide like Gadreel did. #he’s not taking control of the body all the time either he’s just always in there #….Jack taking control of Sam’s body to go talk to Lucifer. Lucifer being affectionate with Jack-in-Sam’s body #hugs for Jack! forehead kisses! Jack is so touchstarved and thriving! Sam is screaming! #this is not a pregnancy thing but it’s not not a pregnancy thing? Jack runs from his body and hides inside Sam. maybe to heal inside him? #the reasons don’t matter the possession does

thinking about college-era mattkey when nobody can tell if they're actually dating, and asking feels too direct but matt almost never goes anywhere without mike and mike starts every story with matt's name and sometimes jam breaks into their apartment in the afternoons so they can crash before theater rehersals and finds them napping under a shared blanket on the couch or in matt's bed, so tangled together as to be almost indistinguishable and their fridge is a myriad of the life they've spent together with polaroids and blurry printed-out phone screenshots and movie tickets and handwritten notes in matt's messy scrawl and when matt's hair gets long, he lets mike braid it even if mike still isn't very good.

and when anne makes a joke about them acting like a married couple they share a look and mike says something about tax benefits and matt doesn't play guitar for anyone except mike and mike never goes to their favorite coffee shop without buying matt a drink too, and once they live off-campus they adopt a cat and say they're her dads, and matt's her favorite even if mike is usually the one to feed her in the evenings and they take family pictures for the holidays to send to all their friends and professors, from the walters family, and they visit each other at work when their schedules are different because they live in one another's pockets and eight hours apart feels like a lifetime and they're not even sure if this is what dating is, if they're boyfriends or something else, but they're both so flighty they'd rather keep their domesticity without having the conversation they both think about far too often.

#sam and i have been talking about them. if you can't tell #mattkey #finch chirps #when the first of their friend group gets married they decide ​to really commit so. intentional/accidental fake dating turns to #''oh we've been wondering how long it would take for you to tell us'' and ''when are *you* two getting married'' and their families and #friends are asking questions online and they don't have any answers so they just say. they both like their privacy. and pretend like it #hasn't been way too real for them this entire time. yknow #finch's headcanons #< this can go here i think. lol

[ask-the-sexyman-squad]

you feel better now sam?

"..."

She...doesn't feel better, really. She stopped the heavy crying, sure, but she hasn't fully calmed down. It might take her some time...no one can blame her: personal jabs at her regarding her familial issues just...triggered something horrible in her, and she still feels very hurt. Now she's just tired...she needs the rest.

"...she's been crying for two hours, Alastor: we can't even calm her down."

"..."

"Alastor? Hon?"

"...I..."

...the smile on his face dropped the moment Sam closed her eyes, and he wiped her tears.

He had to stay strong for his little girl...his little girl. He never would've thought he would use those three words when speaking about her. Yet he simply did so, and it made him all the more soft. She was sweet, quiet, and had bursts of energy: he admired that. She was a good dancer, a singer, and loved anything about the Roaring Twenties: but she clung to him and trusted him, and that's what drew him to her.

This was his adoptive daughter now...his and DT's. He had to show her love, and not break promises. She didn't have to worry about him and DT drinking...which was good.

He was swarmed in his thoughts, he was tuning them out unintentionally. He was focused on getting Sam to calm down, but the more she cried, the more his heart shattered.

"...I failed her."

The tears said it all: literal. Tears. He cared for her more than he let on, and it was making him sentimental...in the best ways, however.

"You didn't fail her, hon."

"I did. I should've been there when that wretched anon shattered her with their commentary. I should've been there to comfort her sooner...but I wasn't."

"That doesn't mean you failed her. You found out when you could, and what matters is that she's safe in your arms. That she calms down."

"...but what if she doesn't...?"

"...you're going to hate this idea."

"How so...?"

"If she doesn't calm down in the next twenty minutes, we...we take her to Black Hat."

"...Black Hat."

There's fear and nervousness in his voice now. They tried to ease their husband by gently placing their hand on his leg.

"If she doesn't calm down. If she does, then disregard. I mean...everyone has already tried getting her to calm down, or talk...Mordecai hugged her for Christ's sake, and that didn't work! Ghirahim tried calming her by taking her hair down, but also nothing! Another person she confides in is Black Hat. He'll surely be able to calm her."

"...if you say so, my love."

"We'll get her through this...trust me."

The struggle between being happy that all kinds of aspecs are talking about aspec experiences more and barely being able to stand the way people talk about aspec experiences

#i don't know how to say it but like. i'm aro and i hate how nobody ever. talks about us except us #if i was the type of person who comes out and if i didn't already need a powerpoint to explain asexuality #i'd start telling people i'm aro and not aroace #like just. the way i feel towards both alloallos & alloaces who try but fail at being inclusive.... #towards alloace and sometimes aroace communities & the way they are & act.... #legit making me think about identifying as like. non sam aro or something #yeah technically i'm asexual but i'm going to take that word away from everyone #my allo friends are trying bless their heart but they DO NOT GET IT!!!! #they're trying and they're FAILING!!! BADLY!!!! #i understand people who use certain sets of pronouns but only with specific people. holy shit #like if i see one more time that asexuality means not being interested in relationships. #if my friends ask me and only me if i'm comfortable with a sex discussion when i am participating in it #if i get told 'no bitches!! :D' as a pride thing ONE MORE TIME #i'm sorry if you're seeing that m btw. on the infinitesimal chance you do see it. it's not against you it's my aro rage #i just. i'm not ace and then aro as an afterthought. #i'm ARO and eventually if it comes up i'm ace #'oh but no bitches isn't necessarily about sex it can also be about relationships' #yeah okay. well. i'm interested in both of those. i do want bitches. not like allos but i'm not signing up to be a nun here. #the flattening of the aspec experience to 'asexual and possibly aromantic' is making me want to tear things apart with my teeth #hate hate hate hate #and let's not forget adolescent romances. listen. i'm a teenager and i love romance #but all the stuff where the 17yo alloace teen feels broken and ends up dating a comprehensive partner...... #i keep seeing it like you see the fin of a shark. and that's already more than i can stand #i'm happy it's resonating with people but it's exactly as insipid as bland straight love songs to me #anyway. i didn't get everything i wanted out but i chipped away at it. #wow i have a ramble tag now

hussie's author notes make me burst out laughing way too often

#i am genuinely obsessed w the way hussie talks about their writing #because they are sooooo self-aggrandizing but it's like 10 levels of irony #therell be some weird writing decision and theyll be like #'that was weird. actually no it wasnt heres an explanation that justifies it that i just came up with. i was actually a genius all along #and if you thought that was bad youre actually stupid' #like yeah ok. i love that shit actually sorry #i feel like a lot of ppl take the self-importance shtick way too seriously #like they think he actually means it every time #and its like man come on. #like i remember ppl criticizing AH (character) for being like AHAHAHA I KILLED EVERYONE U CARED ABOUT for being like tacky or whatever #as if thats not hilarious #sams reading homestuck again

one aspect of lucifer rising that I love but I don’t think is discussed enough is that the function of the voicemail was to drive sam to suicide. Sam didn’t think he would survive killing Lilith, but it’s better to die as a monster who saved the world than die by his brothers gun

#Idk I remember like the second time I watched lucifer rising and went oh #OH #this was a suicide mission #Sam wanted to die here #and then I watched the commentary and kripke confirmed #and I was like #the way that Sams objective here was to die and also save the world #but instead he condemns the world and is given the promise of Never Fucking Dying from lucifer #like that’s SOOOOO #that’s So Fucking Sad #and so so good #that’s the type of storytelling that makes me vibrate bc I’m so !!!! Over it #Anyways this isn’t to excuse sams actions or anything. He shouldn’t have killed the nurse #but it is a damn good aspect of the show #spn #suicide #Also Ik this isn’t new I just always want to be talking about it #Therefore it isn’t discussed enough #Snsnsn
