As the strange world around you flashes, you close your eyes and open them again to the sun setting on the first day of the new game.

You are back at spawn and you are not alone.

This is just a short message to everyone.

It’ll probably be fine—it’ll work out. But even if it doesn’t, that’s really okay. Your best doesn’t have to be perfect, at times it’ll be messy or less than what you hoped for. And that’s still enough. Our best can look different depending on so many things.

And in case no one’s told you this lately, I’m proud of you. Proud of how you’re still here, still trying, still making the most of what you have, even with your worn out tools. That quiet strength, that resilience—it matters so much. And whatever happens, you’ll find your way, one small step at a time.

[opheliasam]

The thing is that the ways in which dean and sam need each other are both compatible and parallel in their nature.

Dean needs sam to stay with him (let him take care of him look after him and be with him) and sam despite all his need for autonomy and freedom which he does desire of course (he needs dean to respect his choices and see him) also needs dean to need him—choose him. It’s always been that way—something we see from the very pilot itself. He goes with dean in the pilot after dean admits that he doesn’t want to do it without sam even if he is capable for it.

It affects sam profoundly when dean gets close to other people—especially men because it threatens the idea that dean could need people other than him (even the mere desire to want for others apart from him is distasteful even if he doesn’t want it to be—he just can’t help it, it’s the way they are.) Of course dean has never needed for anything more than sam, that sam and just sam has always been more than enough but sam needs that from him, constantly and actively.

In Sacrifice (8x23), when he reveals that the fact that dean chose to turn to people (an angel, a vampire) apart from him was unbearable to him was just so.. much. And it’s interesting because we know that sam too is friends with cas, has never been shown to consider him a rival in any sense (but just the mere possibility of sam and just sam not being enough for dean is devastating for him.) He doesn’t harbour any resentment or competition towards cas, it’s just that he needs to be the choice over everything else from dean. He needs it because he chose that too, even when he had a chance to get out—multiple times over. And yes, the circumstances shaping his choices are often not ideal, are sometimes not even entirely choices but he always stays because of the knowledge that dean will always choose him.

The conflict then is often caused by doubt—dean, deeply insecure about sam’s loyalty. For him, it’s a given—that sam will always be first, has always and forever been above everything else but he expects sam to know it too. Despite everything he puts on him and says to him, despite the fights and the anger and the mistrust. None of that will ever change this one fundamental thing.

But Sam doesn’t (!!) Maybe at one time he did, before the demon blood and the soullessness and the countless countless ways he thinks he fucked up but somewhere along the line it became clear to Sam that he could not trust it to always be Dean’s first choice, can’t know it for sure.

Doubt again, Sam—unable to know if Dean will always choose him over all else and Dean unable to verbalise that enough because of said insecurity (the fear that he needs sam more than sam needs him) and unable to understand why Sam would feel this way because he expects him to already know that Sam will always be above all else, at the end of the day despite whatever happens because that is who Dean is.

The Pitch of the Shrieks - Some Thoughts on Fandom and Fans

I like Lando Norris, but don't worry. I'm not one of those fans.

You know, those fans? The crazy, delusional ones? The ones who think that he's a good driver, the ones who watched Drive to Survive and thought he was hot? The ones who were excited that he was fighting for a championship? Ha! Those fans are horrible, I hate them, they're completely insane. I'm a Lando fan, but I'm not one of those fans, don't worry.

Sometimes I wonder why fans of other drivers are allowed to be delusional, though. Why other drivers' fans can do equations to prove that they can still win the WDC, but if I say I think Lando might still have a shot, I'll be told to kill myself. Why another driver making a mistake is an unlucky miss, but Lando making a mistake is proof that his delusional evil stupid fans are clearly so insane for thinking he's a good driver that they shouldn't even be watching the sport. Why, when we're all in the same circus, Lando fans are so often laughed at the most. Don't worry, though! I'm a Lando fan, but I'm not one of those fans.

Who are those fans?

"the pitch of the shrieks makes all the difference—male fans are not punished or shamed for their fandom involvement, while female fans are."

Oh. Those fans.

Those fans are stupid. They don't care about the racing. They don't actually care about the drivers. They just want their precious Lando to win because they think he's hot! Those stupid delusional fans. Those evil dumb useless women invading our space and daring to think a driver is good.

Those dumb fucking females daring to pretend to be interested in sport.

I hate Lando Norris. I hate Lando Norris and his stupid fucking delusional evil fangirls. I hate Lando Norris because his fucking fangirls are so delusional, they hope he's going to win, what kind of fucking fan hopes a driver will win? His delusional fangirls who only like him because he's hot, because they couldn't possibly watch the sport for any other reason.

I hate Lando Norris fangirls because they're all whiny delusional stupid girls, and you know what? I think Charles fangirls are stupid, too, they only like him because he's hot, too! Fuck Charles fangirls and Lando fangirls- girls like Lewis as well? Well, they must be stupid, I fucking hate fangirls and how they're ruining this sport. What other drivers do those evil fucking stupid useless bitch fucking whining girls like? I'm sure they're useless and stupid and the girls only like them because they're hot. I fucking hate fangirls.

I fucking hate girls.

I will once again reiterate that Lando is not a perfect person and deserves valid criticism and skepticism, just like every other driver. However, a lot of hatred of him does stem from real studied ways in which female fans and fandoms are treated and thought about, and to pretend that isn't the case is to ignore one of the biggest issues in f1 as both a fandom and industry. If you have found yourself separating the ways certain fans (not just Lando fans) act from the ways the rest of the fandom acts, maybe consider what biases you're subconsciously sustaining.

poverty au alternate names:

Empty Pockets

Sleep is for those with money

Fuck Coffee is expensive

giggles cause i got a name idea (thank you for the crane wives and thank you specifically that person who recommended mad dog to me. ive taken to calling it the kickback universe in my head so i guess that's what its called now) but that is definitely a vibe. i bet they splurged on that coffee machine soooo hard but they have like dollar store grounds and it tastes like shit and no creamer could save it. donnie drinks it black anyway which is a sin

its not like i could call it the "donnie is the only one with college opportunities because mikey is barely skirting by with Cs, leo had to drop out because unmedicated adhd, and raph skipped most opportunities for higher education especially with sports to focus on providing for the family, so donnie's doing running start while also working a job because his father's dercums progressed to a point where he cant even really go outside without being in immense pain because they dont have enough money or insurance to afford any real care (and no extended family to fall back on because splinter was cut off from them, other than a cousin across the country) and rely on april to drive them around, and then the landlord unexpectedly raises rent in an attempt to get them out and donnie because he's taken on the job of managing their finances decides to hide this from them and start working a SECOND job under the table that includes the fucking graveyard shift with a boss that barely pays him enough under the table and its partially because he's blasian AND trans, and this is also while he's going to running start college, while having a job to go to right after running start college, and also he has to worry about tutoring mikey and helping leo get a GED and groceries and like everything because he doesn't want to put more undue stress on raph who is the only line of support he would normally have here" au. although maybe it would be funny if i did?

i got carried away when making the joke. there's the premise i guess. i'll probably just write one big oneshot but because all of them have Prablems maybe i'll expand a little, right now im keeping the scope small so dont expect anything for a while since i have so much to do atm, i'll talk about if people want to hear more though! .... i did not expect to get as invested as i did.
