DeanCas Reverse Bang 2025!

Fic by @nickelkeep

and i wake, saying your name

It's been a hot minute, but as I promised in my answer to the ask the other day, I submitted my fic for this round of the @deancasreversebang! I had a beautiful piece of art done by the amazing @cyborgartalchemist2! (Link HERE)

Pairing: Dean/Cas, background Dorothy/Charlie, mentioned Sam/Eileen, briefly mentioned past Dean/Ash Rating: Teen Word Count: 9059 Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence, Minor Character Death(?), Major Character Injury, Apparent Major Character Death (Or is it?) Written For: Dean/Cas Reverse Bang, 2025 On Ao3

Summary:

It's not the first time Dean has woken up in a place he doesn't remember being. But when did he get to Moondoor? And why are they going to the Yesteryears' Stronghold? Why does everything make sense when it really shouldn't? And then there's the big question... Where's Cas?

reblog this if your blog is a safe space on april fools and won’t have any jumpers, screamers, or anything scary or anxiety inducing

I was wondering if you ever posted your bang fics anywhere? I know I saw the one you did the art - which was great! - but I wasn't sure about the ones you wrote.

So, the straight-to-the-point answer is no. I haven't.

I can go more into my self-esteem dropping, my impostor syndrome rearing, etc., but I don't want to bore everyone. That said. I have my DCRB fic posting on the 7th. After talking with my shrink and his encouragement, I jumped into an easy bang, grabbed a beautiful art, and I'm dipping my toe back into posting. If my anxiety can handle it, I'll start posting the older fics.

Please don't also take this as me asking for lots of kudos or anything on the new fic when it comes out. This is me overcoming a personal issue. I just want to see if I can hit that post button and not have a meltdown where I go and instantly delete the fic seconds after I share it.

I truly miss writing, be it fanfic or my OC stuff. But the past several months have fucked me up so bad, that, until recently, pulling up a document had literally triggered PTSD Panic Attacks so severe that I needed to be medically sedated.

I appreciate everyone who has sent me messages, who have checked in on me, etc. It's meant the world to me.

my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in

Spin this wheel of like 160ish fandoms of varying levels of popularity.

Extra points for telling me all about your thoughts in the tags :D

Cross-stitch artists of Tumblr-- let's make a difference!

Cross Stitch for Gaza is assembling a pattern bundle fundraiser: cross-stitch designers of any skill level are invited to submit a pattern of theirs (old or new) to be included in the pattern bundle. Once the bundle is complete, it will be offered as a reward to stitchers who make a donation of €15 or more to the GoFundMe of Hadeel Mikki and her family.

More info below the cut, and read the the full details at CrossStitchForGaza.com--

'To the Cross Stitch Community on Tumblr and Bluesky'

Our Goal

This pattern bundle is being assembled (by @mathysphere and friends) to help raise money for Hadeel Mikki and her family-- her mother, husband, two brothers, her two little girls, and her baby-- to escape and find safety out of Gaza. Their goal is to raise a total of €35,000 to pay for passage; as of this writing, they have already raised €20,000, so the aim of this campaign is to help raise the final €15,000. Plus, hopefully, a little extra, so that they will have something to live on once they cross over into Egypt.

If this fundraiser is successful at raising the money that Hadeel's family needs, then later donors may be directed to help with a campaign from another family. In that case, a family or individual will be chosen from the GazaVetter's list of verified campaigns.

The Bundle

For this fundraiser, we are collecting cross-stitch patterns to send as a bundle (one or more .ZIP files) to anyone who donates €15 or more to Hadeel Mikki's GoFundMe campaign during the duration of the campaign (March 7th to April 25th, 2025). Anyone who can make a cross-stitch pattern may 'donate' it to the cause-- you do not have to be an established or a professional pattern designer to contribute!

Once the fundraising event goes live, donors will be directed to give €15 or more to the GoFundMe campaign, and then submit a receipt or screenshot of their donation to the Cross Stitch for Gaza team. Within 24 hours, they will be sent back a .ZIP file or files containing the full set of patterns from the bundle. No money will be exchanged with the Cross Stitch for Gaza team at any point.

Each of the pattern-makers will also receive a copy of the full pattern bundle, as a thank-you. 🙏

The Tumblr cross-stitch community is not a large one, and not a rich one, but it doesn't have to be-- if we work together, we have the power to make a real difference for a family that desperately needs it.

In Hadeel's own words:

Maybe this fundraising effort is like a beacon in the darkness, our sole source of hope that we hold onto tightly. I urge the world to listen to my plea and the sorrowful cries of my Gaza kin. We desperately require the helping hand that can dry our tears and lead us to safety.

Your contribution is more than just money; it's a chance to reconstruct life and illuminate a brighter future. Join us in shaping a tale of hope, as we rely on your support to begin afresh.

Remember whem Tumblr was the dumpster fire website?

It appears that some of the other SMs are in a race towards the bottom. Twitter has Nazi Bootlicker LoneSkum in charge. Meta has Nipplezucker. And, as a part of Meta, Insta has done this:

Something's missing!

So yeah. You can share this post, or I also shared it to instagram, because yes, I had to be lame like that, and you can find that link here.

So much for that free speech, hmmm?

Fave Movies

Fine. I guess I'll succumb to peer pressure. It's not like I'm living in a hole of depression post-surgery or anything. Bitches. Tagged by @imbiowaresbitch and @cr-noble-writes, and not that @bleuzombie or @roxxee13 actually tagged me, but they peer-pressured me. 😇

Ten favorite movies, technically no particular order. Gifs only and no words, hints, or clues. Let's go.

Anyone who wants to play, please play. Don't make me look like the last GIF. It makes me look like the second to last gif.
