Coming Soon!

When putting together this Bingo, I knew that I wanted to include followers as well as creators. So as part of the Jensen Acklesverse Bingo, I've made a card - All About Ackles - for all you fabulous followers.

I hope you are getting as much enjoyment out of this bingo as I have so far. Several wonderful creations have already been posted, and many more are on the way.

Followers do not need to sign up. The bingo card will be posted on November 15 for your use.

As a creator, the support I receive from my followers is always appreciated and a great motivation for me to keep creating. To show your love and support for the creators participating in the bingo, find and reblog pieces that fit the prompts then mark off the bingo squares. If you want, please share your progress throughout the bingo.

To count as a square fill, reblogs should be pieces made specifically for the JAcklesverse Bingo. Follow the @jacklesversebingo blog or look for the hashtag jacklesversebingo23 to find submissions.

You will have until the end of the Bingo - September 1, 2024 - to fill your squares. If you fill out the card before the end of the Bingo and would like another one, DM me or send an ASK.

Have fun!

Autumn looks up from her book when Mal flops down on their bed and sighs. Twice.

"Uh... Mal?"

He mumbles something that sounds like, "Yes, kit?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Something wrong, she asks. Yes, there's something wrong!"

"And that would be..."

"It's..." His already crestfallen face falls further. "Nothing. It's nothing."

Concerned, she puts the book down and lays a gentle hand on his cheek. "Mal, you know I'm here for you."

"You'll laugh."

"I promise you I won't."

"Fine. Is..." He pauses. Whatever the problem is, it's hard for him to talk about. "Is Tyril funnier than me?"

"What?"

"Tonight, everyone laughed at Tyril's joke, but only Nia laughed at mine!"

Autumn claps a hand to her mouth to avoid her own burst of laughter. "Mal, are you telling me that you're jealous of Tyril?"

"Do not even suggest that," he says, aghast. "I'm not jealous. I'm simply... confused."

"About what?"

"I'm the funny one! Not Elf Boy! So why was everyone laughing at his jokes!"

Oh boy.

"Come on, love, you know you're hilarious. This one joke didn't land, that's all."

He sits up and glares at her. "My jokes always land."

"And Tyril was in rare form tonight. There might be something to that fancy elf wine after all."

He gasps. "You think the wine bewitched our crew?"

"That's not what I..."

"Of course!" He slaps a hand to the mattress. "That explains everything! It wasn't the joke, it was the wine!"

"Mal, I don't think..."

"Thank you, kit!" He presses a kiss to her forehead and scurries out of the bedroom.

Autumn picks up her book again. He's lucky she loves him.

GGGAAAAHHHHH!!!! OH MY GOSH DID YOU HEAR ME SCREAM??!!! I woke up to this absolute gem of my Autumn and Mal!!! 😍🥰❤️

Autumn looks up from her book when Mal flops down on their bed and sighs. Twice.

Mal, my king, always so dramatic!! I swear I could see this whole conversation playing out in my head.

"It's..." His already crestfallen face falls further. "Nothing. It's nothing." Concerned, she puts the book down and lays a gentle hand on his cheek. "Mal, you know I'm here for you."

This!!!! Autumn and Mal will always be there to support and comfort each other - no matter the, er ... scope ... of the problem 😅

"Fine. Is..." He pauses. Whatever the problem is, it's hard for him to talk about. "Is Tyril funnier than me?" "What?" "Tonight, everyone laughed at Tyril's joke, but only Nia laughed at mine!" Autumn claps a hand to her mouth to avoid her own burst of laughter. "Mal, are you telling me that you're jealous of Tyril?"

I died right there. Of course Mal is jealous of Tyril though he'll never admit that. But of Tyril being funnier?! This is art and I am so here for it!

"Come on, love, you know you're hilarious. This one joke didn't land, that's all." He sits up and glares at her. "My jokes always land."

Gotta love that self confidence! And then blaming it on the elven wine??!!! Mal, you are lucky Autumn loves you and was able to navigate this whole existential crisis of yours with a somewhat straight face 😂

(I HC Autumn goes right back to reading the Crown & the Flame while Mal "practices" his jokes on the children.)

Thank you so, so much!! You made my day, quite possibly my month!!💛💛

READ ME. And Please Repost!

Hey y’all!

I’m feeling sharey today. I’ve got a book of postcard stamps and a bunch of random postcards I’ve collected.

If you want to receive something besides a bill in your post box then realign this post and message me your address!

I’m US based but I will be willing to send outside the states depending on what the postage situation is lol.

Also if you have a theme or something you want to receive or DONT want to receive include it in the message and I’ll do my best.

No obligations to reply or send anything back. I just think it will be fun to send some things out and brighten some mailboxes.

Hoping my smile can be contagious! The world needs more kindness!

Make a post recommending a fic you love from at least a year ago. Dust off the archives, dig through your AO3 history, and share those old fics with newer fans who might not have seen them - and the fans who’ve been around forever and might want to revisit an old fave.

4/11/24.

New label alert. Inscrutable Records is a St. Louis, Missouri based label run by Martin Meyer (Soup Activists). Pleasant Mob (Chicago, Illinois) is one of four new releases on the label. Lead song "#3 Dream" reminds me of The Clean, and "Mob" has a Bats feel. And while the other songs do have a Flying Nun feel, the other songs on this release fit the indie pop genre, but bounce between styles throughout.

Pleasant Mob's frontman, Raidy Hodges (of Spread Joy) has a new surrounding band for this release. Mikey Young mastered this.

Inscrutable Records first four line-up is solid - Pleasant Mob, Famous Mammals, Soup Activists and Tia Rosa. Their bigcartel website also looks like the dabble in distribution too.

Fandom Thank-Yous!

Thank you for sticking around! The Choices fandom has clearly been through so many ups and downs in the past, so let me take a moment to say, thank you...

To those writers who write for the "less" popular books, with so much love and care.

To those wonderful fanartists who bring the characters to life in their own ways.

To creators who go through so much - life, school, anxiety, work, depression and so on, just to make people happy.

To those motivated creators who program and develop their own unofficial sequels for FREE! Going through all that effort to assemble a team, get the best artists and writers and programmers to work on it and bring joy to the fandom! Thank you so much!

To those skilled graphic designers and writers who bring their characters to life, through their innovative designs, Pictagram edits, moodboards and so on! Your efforts will never go unnoticed!

To those kind souls who host challenges, prompts and send out Asks to motivate everyone. The fandom would practically be dead without your intervention. Thank you for everything that you do.

To the people who've already left us and have gone inactive. It's heartbreaking, yes, but their efforts and works will never die or lose their positive impact. They've all done a lot of brilliant things and the fandom would never be the same without them.

To the commenters and rebloggers and simply, people who leave a little heart and a nice comment once in a while. Thank you so much for providing your eternal support to these lovely creators! You are a pillar of strength in this community. You've brought so many writers and artists an insane amount of joy through your little words of encouragement and support. Thank you for everything that you do!

To the people who've been here since the early days, when the fandom was barely crawling. You are just downright awesome - having seen the good, bad and the ugly in this fandom and staying despite all the odds.

AND TO YOU! Even if you aren't a pioneer or a graphics artist, your everyday contributions to the fandom KEEPS IT ALIVE! Whether it be a meme-post on TNA and its obscure plotlines, starting an Is-Blades-Cancelled Support Group, fangirling over fictional pixelated love interests, bringing up "It's indescribable" as frequently as possible and are responsible for nearly 16384 inside jokes, you are just frickin awesome.

I love our little community so much, despite being here for a couple of months. Sure there's bits of the Bad, but the Good doesn't necessarily make the Bad so bad, because it brings me insurmountable joy to see everyone sort of crowding around in the reblogs and comments whenever someone commissions a piece of art, taking part in these long introspective discussions but at the same time being memeing trolls who embrace the chaos.

Thank you for everything and thank you for making everyday a little wonderful.

I'll be tagging everyone in my list, if that's okay! I might've definitely missed a bunch of people and I sincerely apologise for that ^_^

Fic Rec Wednesday

(I have a busy weekend but I still like to do fic recs for those who will want to read fics to avoid our families)

Blue by me!

Listen, I have no sides in the Dance - but I love Rhaena and Aemond together and I really like Alicent. So I wrote this!

See, What Had Happened Was... by @daylander1000

Love this - it's darkly funny and another really good Rhaena x Aemond fic. I love the introspection of all the characters who are beginning to realise that those two like each other.

white noise. by parlamante (@hysteries)

really well written rhaena x aemond fic that is a really good read!

A Touch of Homesickness by @spitefularmand

A crossover of my two favourite fandoms! Dr Marcus Whitemore gets a new patient in Miss Edwina Sharma. Love this!!

The Right Regrets by @dreamofme9

This is such a wonderful and heart wrenching look at Louis' emotions and thoughts before episode 7. I love Louis and this is so beautifully written! Also, check out their other fic - The Embers of Our Love!

Only You Always by @datsusara84

Read for the most two recent chapters - I love the whole fic but I had a good read of the most recent chapters and I can't wait for the next!

Marriage Broker by @waterlilyrose

Been loving this so much. Jealous dumb dumb Anthony features!

love came back to me by @suitsusboth

Again, another Kathony fic full of yearning, Anthony being an idiot, Kate doing her best and being amazing.
