i know i shit on people's yaoi parades because i love shoving characters into sibling dynamics all the time but dabi and shigaraki rlly rlly are like siblings its insaneeeeee, they're thematically/narratively speaking as parallel as siblings can be, they are brothers not in the "found family <3" type of way but in the "I dont fuck with you and you remind me of what happened to me but we have to stick together because we need to beat this old man's ass reform this world into one where children like us don't get left behind" way it's so so beautiful to me i wish i had the motivation to word it better but yeah... when shigaraki steps on endeavor and mocks his pose that is personal he does that not just for the greater cause he does that for dabi as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fucking love Critical Role Abridged, oh my god. Finally my cries for a SMIDGE of editing and cutting have benn answered! AND THE ART FOR THE NPCS OMG YES

They really saw my post and were like "let's prove this bitch wrong" huh?

[needcake]

A few fandom pet peeves:

People don't comment on fics they've clearly read;

This is an old grievance, but it’s been getting more and more on my nerves lately. I will never understand the appeal of being a ghost reader and being a silent consumer when you can just leave a simple "this is great!❤️", or even include an analysis of the fic's themes, and make someone's whole day. What's worse is that a lot of times I get the feeling people won't leave comments or kudos or reblogs because they don't want to be publicly associated with that fic or author, because god forbid strangers on tumblr or ao3 learn that you like things.

The slut-shaming;

This bothers me beyond belief. It's just one of those things that just makes me NOPE out of a post so fucking fast. A person or a character enjoying sex and having multiple partners don't make them whores. And prostitution isn't demeaning. Repeatedly labeling someone as a slut just makes me mad (and yes I am talking about everyone calling Port a slut, it does bother me to the point I can’t go into the tag anymore).

The influencer/content creator mentality;

Fandom isn't tiktok or instagram. I don't want to be an audience, I want to be a reader, I want to engage and be engaged in return, I want to make friends with people with the same hyperfixations, I want to leave comments and shower them with love, but I want to receive that attention as well. I don't want to have parasocial relationships where I’m the one doing all the giving. I don't want to feel like I'm being taken for granted for trying to keep up with everything someone does only for them to take all of that and not even give a scrap of attention back.

And lastly, for fuck's sake be fucking nice to people.

What the fuck is this bullshit I keep seeing around fandom of people trying to be edgy and sassy, be goddamn kind and loving, we're all struggling in different ways, being alive is enough of a hardship, just be kind to people - especially in fandom spaces. This is supposed to be a hobby, a place to feel included and welcomed, stop trying to turn this into a competition for who gets the most engagement or whatever the fuck is going on. Be earnest and kind and as weird as you like.

it is really unfortunate the way suicidality is talked about nowadays because it’s either all a joke so it’s hard to discuss in a serious capacity or it’s so upsettingly serious that you can’t even discuss it without fear of like being institutionalized

Depending on my level of sheba-ization there is a 30% chance I reblogged this post with no thought given to op or where its coming to me from, some things just can not be denied. Yes we can discuss astrophysics on fuckyeahmaturenaturals page. No I'm very comfortable right here. You're the one who felt the need to make your emerald boy wank statement. Now let me explain to you why I stand behind them 100%. Lets talk about stem careers and the capitalistic choke hold on technology and our inevitable need to expand into the solar system at the very least. What our friend, naturals here quite correctly alluded to is that musk has actually hindered this expansion.........

Destiel Fic Recs

Let's all pretend that I didn't just do one of these because I have clearly been consuming fic at an alarming rate.

A Beginner's Guide to Communing with the Dead by suspiciousflashlight @huntingthehaggis (Mature, 77k,)

Listen. I am actually mad at all y'all cause this fic has existed since 2013 and nobody told me to read it until now.

Detective Dean Winchester is haunted (literally) by the murder of a little girl. Unable to move on, he makes the decision to summon an ancient creature, Castiel, using forbidden magic. But the murder is only the beginning and he and Cas find themselves in a race against time to fight an ancient evil.

This fic has everything. Immaculate worldbuilding. Trueform Cas. Impeccable humor. Seriously, I devoured it. I'm shocked it took me this long to find it (probably because it's older), but I'm so happy I did.

The Beginning by valleydean (emmbrancsxx0) @valleydean (Explicit, 129k)

A horrorfest Endverse fic, Mallory tackles what happened between the Croatoan infection and Dean and Cas' arrival in Camp Chitaqua. It's canon compliant and it really digs into Dean losing hope and becoming the darker version of himself and Cas falling into addiction and losing his angelic powers. 

It's angsty and brutal and gross in the way zombie stories are. It's also got shining moments of love in the face of hopeless odds. Plus there's a character named River so you know it's good.

I also think watching the degradation of these two characters, and the way their love can't be denied even then is just really a good read. 

Above & Below by murron (Explicit, 45k)

Speaking of older fics to lose your fucking mind over, this fic is absolutely immaculately done. Steeped in canon and set in S6, Dean, Cas and Soulless Sam embark on a journey through the circles of hell. Their mission is to recover Sam’s soul and their brother Adam from the cage.

It's really beautifully constructed with the vision of Hell pulled from various pieces of lore. This is a horror story for sure, but it's not a hopeless one. It's more like an epic mythological journey. And at its heart is the love story of Dean and Cas, and a lot of healing for Dean and Sam.

It's high concept. It's poetic. It's a top tier story to meltdown over.

Sentinel by Followsthebees (Explicit, 15k) @follows-the-bees

A delightful entry from the monsterfluffer bang, Dean finds himself increasingly enamored with a gargoyle on the roof of his work. What he doesn't know is the gargoyle feels the same way.

This has some absolutely delicious smut. 10/10 magical creature porn. But also Dean is so cute and lonely and full of love and Cas us such a delightful little creature. A fantastic time was had by all (me). Canon is integrated in a really fun way in a few places and the humor is fantastic.

Just a complete romp.

A pun regarding the word "bull" by zation @zationao3 (Explicit, series 41k)

Smutty and fluffy and oh so horny, this fic is a fun AU with light angst, a lot of sexual tension, but ultimately it's just a fun ride with a happy ending.

Castiel doesn't have time for attachments, but his money does afford him all the comforts of wealth and a string of casual lovers. When he spots Dean on the back of a mechanical bull, he decides he's found his next conquest - and a very willing one at that.

But after that night, both men can think of nothing but a repeat performance. Unfortunately, they failed to exchange numbers. Even more unfortunately, Dean just happens to be the new contactor engaged by Cas' company and therefore off limits. 

There is some delicious smut in this one. The angst is counteracted with a sweet, soft pining and a profound bond type immediate connection that is a delight to read. 

You Better Not Stay by FriendofCarlotta @friendofcarlotta (Explicit, 17k) 

A fantastic horrorfest thriller, this one delivers jump scares and teen scream delight.

Dean and Cas have been best friends just short of forever and lovers for a year. But now that high school is behind them, Cas wants to leave to find freedom from his fucked up family. Dean can’t bring himself to join him. There’s Sam and the family business.

On the cusp of separation, Dean decides to take Cas on a little date to the abandoned skating rink they used to love when they were kids. Only they aren't alone, and if they're not careful, their last night together could be their last night on earth.

This one is great for the jumps and screams. But it's the soft way they love each other and the vulnerability that make this one memorable. Dean is heartbreakingly earnest trying to impress the man he loves. And Cas is sarcastic and sweet in a perfect balance.

And you're the sky by Desirae (Explicit, 28k)

Quite by accident I have two fics on here following the missed connection/one night stand reappears in your life trope, but they are very different. This one has a lot more roommates to lovers domesticity and some delightful Wings (the show) vibes.

Dean’s best friend, Gabriel, has been grounded due to medical issues. In order to save his small airline, he calls upon his estranged brother, Castiel for assistance. Being a good friend, Dean happily offers up a room in his house to Cas. Only when he shows up, he happens to be the one who got away - a hookup who was going by the name Jimmy.

This fic is soft and sweet. There's a lot of caretaker Dean and domestic vibes. It has the soft vibes of a fic where the two main characters are circling one another and you almost feel like it's inevitable that they will eventually find their way to each other. There is some family trauma, but the angst is largely countered by a lot of intentional healing. Throw in a fantastic cast of characters and this one is definitely worth the read.
