;_____________________;
IT’S NOT IN ANY OF THEM how did you manage to pick the one thing
For the fandom meme: J, Q, T.
J – Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr
coughcoughspncough
Q – A ship you’ve abandoned and why
one fandom I’ve mostly abandoned altogether is teen.wolf. I got really really burned out on stiles.derek in the space of a couple of months/about six pinch hits because I tried to mod a fic/art/etc exchange mostly by myself, and I stressed myself out to the point where I couldn’t even read it anymore.
T – Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)
definitely not for top/bottom/seme/uke because that’s some seriously dumb hetero-normative bullshit— deprogram that ASAP, fandom. writing spn, castiel is always a little demi to me. dean is so so smart. not original, I know, but they’re mine!
Au for 5 headcanons – Mermaid Cas and Sailor Dean go! :D
- Dean appreciates being rescued, really, he does, he’s not at all trying to look the gift fishperson in the mouth here, but could the man have stashed him someplace with something more than sand and frigging coconuts? It gets cold in the middle of the ocean at night, go figure, and he’s starting to have near-sexual daydreams about the ship’s tiny kitchen. Raw fish is fucking disgusting.
- The human keeps making unhappy mouth sounds and flailing his arms whenever he sees him, but really, what else could he possibly want? Castiel brings him fish, which he hardly eats, and handfuls of the shiny rocks that fill the wrecks below. Nothing seems to satisfy. The rocks at least make his eyes go huge and stop his incessant throat noises for a few moments, but only a few.
- Fucking rubies the size of his fucking eyes. What the fuck is he supposed to do with these?
- The soft metals don’t seem to satisfy, either, nor does the sharkmeat, the squid, or the precious pearlbearing oysters. No, he isn’t courting anyone, Hannah, and no he does not want advice. Go back to your own brood and stay there. Stop laughing. It isn’t funny.
- Somehow, the fishperson finds him a single intact granola bar; it’s not even expired. Dean tries to stress through pantomime that wherever he got it, he needs to go back and get more. When the guy solemnly passes him an unopened bottle of Jack one day, Dean says, “Oh god, I could fucking kiss you,” and how is it that this is the phrase that makes it through the language barrier? Maybe he was going to kiss him anyway. Wait a fucking second, is that what the rubies were for?
What about an au where Dean is a mortician and Cas is a priest?
(for the five headcanons meme)
- the first thing Castiel notices about Dean is his easy laughter and friendly demeanor, which seem out of place at windy gravesites in the dead of winter. It’s only later, when summer lets him linger there, that he sees it’s balanced by what seems like an infinite capacity for empathy, for compassion. It’s incredible.
- the first thing Dean notices about Castiel is that the guy is probably the most awkward human being he’s ever met. No wonder the bishop or whatever sent him to bumfuck Kansas, you never greet anybody for the first time by telling them what a godly soul they have. Christ.
- Castiel finds Dean’s lack of faith somewhat disappointing, but it’s his coffee habits that are truly appalling. Whiskey does not belong anywhere near a thermos, and certainly not before eight in the morning, Dean.
- It’s only a little, and only when it’s really fucking cold, Cas.
- there’s a gazebo behind the church that skirts the edge of a marsh, cattails bobbing through the slats of the railing. Dean and Castiel like to meet there after services in summer. There’s a wooden statue of St. Francis in robes there, about three feet tall, with a birdbath in his hands. Dean calls him Yoda. Castiel doesn’t get the reference.

1. Smut, Fluff, or Angst: Pick two. Why?
sorry, it’s fluff and smut all the way. I can’t do angst, I just can’t I hate it and will never choose it of my own volition
2. Have you ever made a conscious decision to leave a fandom? If so, why?
I sort of… eased myself out of the tw fandom. it wasn’t fun anymore and was just kind of uninspiring. I was never part of the more major drama, but the source material eventually fell past the event horizon of shit I was willing to put up with. I still occasionally write things for it, but they’re all AU or stuck in the first season
3. What’s your favorite board game?
hmmmmmm. HMMMMM. I’ll tell you what it definitely is not: monopoly. there has never been a single game of monopoly that ended well, if it ended at all
4. Pick a song lyric or movie line that sums up your life at the moment.
always look on bright side of life (Monty Python, Life of Brian)
5. If they made a movie of your life right now, who would be your choice to play you? Your love interest/best friend?

do you have any idea how hard it is to be average height???? you’re not tall enough to reach shit the Tall People can but not short enough that the Short People let you commiserate. it’s awful
8. If your parents saw your tumblr, what would they say?
somewhere on this site is my great aunt the former Catholic schoolteacher, and she’s taken great delight in telling my mother what fanfiction is, how raunchy it gets, and how much she loves it. my great aunt has dean, cas and sam funco dolls. she’s singlehandedly removed any fear I once had over parental reactions to my fan activities, and for that, she has a very special place in my heart and in heaven, amen
9. What is one treasured item you own?
