teen superheroes will always be more compelling to me than any adult heroes because nothing is funnier than someone spending their nights fighting Earth-destroying villains but still having to go to high school the next morning

If you own a car and you’ve “named” it, reblog and put your car’s name in the tags.

Last night I was hanging out with some people and the fact that ao3 won a Hugo came up and there was a mild sense of eye-rolling. No one said anything outright, and one person said they had “softened on fanfiction” lately, so all I said was “I’m very proud of my fanfiction archive and our Hugo award, thank you very much” and the conversation moved on. But in that moment, it occurred to me just how goddamn passionate I am about fanfiction. I felt myself rallying my arguments, girding my loins, ready to go into battle for fanfiction. Because, look, not everyone who paints wants to sell their paintings. Some people just want to paint along with Bob Ross or splatter something abstract on a canvass just to express their creative urges, to *make something.* Not everyone who starts a garage band is going to be the next Jimi Hendrix. The most “success” they may have is playing their cousin’s wedding for the price of free food, but they can still find fulfillment in wailing on their guitars or whatever it is the kids play these days (melodica?), having fun together and *creating something.* It’s not about success and fame and fortune. It’s about community and creativity. But, look, writing is a lonely hobby. You might be lucky enough to find a writing group that is healthy and stable, bit you know how many of those I have seen in two decades of hobby writing? One. Singular. One. And the people weren’t my types. I didn’t have much in common with them. But in fandom, hoo boy. You already have something in common with these people, you like the same dumb show and the same two idiots falling in love over and over. So it gives you a starting point. A built-in audience. And yeah, it can be hard to find a toehold, especially in a big fandom like destiel, but there is always *somebody* who will read your work. That’s not always true of original fiction. It’s a much harder sell.

People have been telling stories about their favorite characters since the dawn of civilization. Why do you think we have such a plethora of tales about the Greek gods and heros? These were our campfire tales. Before literacy, before the printing press, *everybody* was a storyteller. It’s about connection and expression.

There’s this toxic idea that if we’re good at something, we should try to make money off it. I don’t want to make money off my writing. I don’t want that kind of pressure on it. Writing is my joy and my escape from this capitalist rat wheel, and if I can do it for a group of wonderful friends who share in that joy, then by gods I’m going to.

Long live Ao3. Long live fanfiction.

Money, Abundance, & Love Apple Chips Recipe!

A page from my grimoire.

This is a recipe I utilize for manifesting money, abundance, and love. I find it works best to choose one of these intentions and truly focus on it while making them, but its totally up to you.

I use these chips simply for eating as a snack to help with manifestation. But, I make sure to eat them before or after a spell related to money, abundance, or love.

I also cut them up and put them in loose tea for tea magick.

I also add them to spell jars or charm bags.

Bonus: if you have a familiar that eats apples (like my rabbit!), you can cook a few without the herbs and give them a lil’ treat!

What you’ll need:

- Apples of any kind.

- Cinnamon

- Nutmeg

- Baking sheets

- Parchment or cooking spray

- Crystals related to money, abundance, or love (optional)

- Pink, green, white, or gold candle (optional)

How to Make

- If I’m using crystals or candles, I like to set up the crystals around my kitchen and light the candle before starting. Usually I like to say a little something to thank the earth for the gift of fruit and state my intention for making them.

- Preheat your oven to 250 F

- Wash the apples. You can remove the core if you’d like, but its not necessary.

- Slice them thinly. Anything bigger than 1/8 of an inch or so will not get super crispy, but will still be good. You can use a really sharp knife or a mandolin for this.

- Lay them flat on your pan and make sure there are none overlapping. Sprinkle your cinnamon and nutmeg now, as much as you’d like!

- Now cook them in the oven for at least an hour depending on how thick your slices are. The thinnest slices will only need about an hour, but the thickest slices can sometimes need about 2. What I normally do is check them after one hour and see how they are doing. Flipping them isn’t really necessary, but feel free to at the one hour mark if you’d like.

- After they are cooked and cooled, you can store in a container at room temperature.

Now you’re ready to eat them and add them to your tea, spells, and whatever other creative ideas you have! Enjoy!

I was in the shower with my boyfriend and he tried to convince me that a bottle of shampoo was a sandwich. It got super heated and I was pissed, so I yelled at him to “FUCKING EAT IT THEN”. He proceeded to eat the entire thing without breaking eye contact.

I need feminism because...

I need feminism because just recently my sister joined a boxing club which she joined to learn to defend herself. Today she told my dad that she joined and explained why. He immediately started discouraging her, telling her that there is no need for her to join and that men won’t like her for it and that if our mom had been in a boxing club he never would have married her. Like, really!? Unacceptable. My dad disregarded it when my sister told him it was for her own safety and that she will not change herself for a man. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is pure sexism. Disregarding a girl’s safety for the wants of a hormonal man is the reason my sister and I need feminism.
