#I think I failed

[such-a-daydreamer]

@skeptiql I saw Ford in the "I make bad science jokes periodically" shirt and immediately thought of the science joke mugs. He needs them. All of them. So does Fidd.

I also felt like drawing this, from a comment about Bismarck’s presence making Joker a Hungry Boy.

Sleepaway camp in August.

We’re doing introductions in the cabin.

“...but I was wondering, if I could try a different name?” I ask quietly when it’s my turn.

They all nod and their looks nudge me encouragingly, saying that it’d totally fine.

I feel bad for not telling my parents.

I meant to.

“I want to try the name Casey.”

Just saying it makes me smile.

“Hi Casey,” David, the camp counselor, says.

A warm feeling wraps around my heart, and the camper next to me introduces themself.

We make name tags, and I don’t hesitate to carefully write out a big ‘C’ to start my name, decorating around the letters with stars.

I add “they/them” underneath, adding more stars.

I hesitate, before writing in small font underneath- “star/stars/starself”

I don’t feel embarrassed, and I don’t worry what other people will say as I smile and clip it onto the lanyard, pulling it over my neck.

I hardly take my lanyard off all week.

It quickly becomes my normal wear, only taking it off to sleep or when I’m on the lake.

I wear it, over and over.

“Casey,” it reads, in my big loopy letters.

‘Casey,’ I repeat inside my head.

I’m crying on the porch of the cabin, it’s the second to last day before we go home.

My sibling will be leaving for college by the time I get back.

I will be leaving ‘Casey’ behind once camp ends.

The counselors check in with me.

David sits on the porch, and we talk.

I tell him how I don’t feel ready, and how I’m so scared.

How I don’t know what life will bring, and how I don’t know if I’m ready to face it.

He tells me about his wife, his kids.

How he misses them, how he’s glad he took this opportunity.

He looks at me, and says that he knows I will do great things, because he can tell I’m a good person.

I don’t know if I believe him, but I���ll try.

I tell him how I’m not really ‘Casey,’

and how I don’t know how to tell my parents that here, at camp, I was.

He thanks me for the talk, saying he’s happy we spoke, and that it helped him think about things in a different way, and keeps calling me Casey anyway.

I ask him and the other counselor, Momo, to pick me out a rock from the camp before I leave, a keepsake.

I hold them and my tearstained name tag close on the way home.

Now that I’m home, I long to go back.

Where for once, I didn’t think about school, or what I would need to make myself to eat today, or what I was going to do with my life.

Where there was a schedule I slipped right into.

Where I could just be Casey.

And no one gave a second glance.

Where for once, I was surrounded by kids who were like me.

They weren’t really like me of course,

but they were more like me than all of the kids at school.

more like me than all the people I had ever met.

So I wore that name tag all week.

Because at camp, I was Casey.

And I will never, regret being Casey.

Editing 15x18

I've thought about this and don't think there was any day-of fuckery, so something got lost in editing. I'm also taking Jensen at his word that he just wanted it recorded to have the raw footage of his friend saying goodbye, but he has said he was "right there" with Misha.

The network already knew this was happening, but like a lot of you guys I'm really curious if cuts were made because of the CW. And this is because:

Speight is an incredibly gifted director. (If you watch "Just My Imagination" the camera looks down at Sam, making him appear more childlike, which Rich came up with and was a challenge since Jared's enormous.) I asked him in July what the director's involvement is in editing and he said they get 3 days. In my heart I don't think he would edit out emotion.

Basically we need someone to get a Rich M&G and ask about editing this scene.

these two break up and make up more than Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson (I hope someone gets this)

When i first read this, my brain go brr

Ok just a random idea that I had to put down before I forgot it- and it feels so silly but it makes my brain go brrrrr

So, Kitsune AU Danny after a classic reveal gone wrong, the kitsune is from a meta gene he discovered while on the run. He winds up in Gotham, hiding his ears and tail as he starts trying to settle in. Cue Red Hood’s gang approaching Jason, telling him he needs to get himself a body guard, because everyone knows he has a thing going with sweet book-nerd Jason Todd. Red hood catches Danny saving a child, and just goes, “ya I’d let him protect me.”

I will flesh this out more later I swear-

( psssss @stealingyourbones can I has opinion)

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

One of my all time biggest pet peeves with historical(ish) fantasy is when the writer constructs a religion with a clear bias that it's stupid and false and therefore only the Stupid People and/or commoners believe in it and all the smart/elite main characters are like, quasi-atheists or otherwise just routinely flout established religious conventions of orthodoxy and/or orthopraxy because they're Too Smart for it or etc.

It's usually an extension of assumptions that people in the past were just less intelligent than in the contemporary, just being like "I know that the sun is a star millions of miles away that the earth orbits, but this ancient religion describes it as a chariot flying through the sky" and not really bothering to learn the context and just (consciously or subconsciously) settling on 'that's a crazy thing to think and was probably believed in because they were Stupid'.

And that whole attitude pisses me off so much. People were as 'smart' 10,000 years ago as they are today. These beliefs aren't just desperate, random flailing to explain phenomena that could not directly be accounted for either, it's not like people just looked at the sun and went "Uhhh I don't know what the fuck that thing is, actually. I guess it might be a chariot or a boat or something?? Yeah let's go with that." and based entire religious practices on this. Every well-established belief system exists within broader contexts of cultural values/subjective perceptions of reality/knowledge systems/etc, and exist as part of a historical continuum of religious practices that came before. Even when not Materially Correct, they have context and internal logic, they're not always dead literal with zero levels of allegory, and they're never a result of stupidity.
