Since you're here, check this out:

This is a vetted fundraiser. Low on funds, €3,145/€50,000. More info under cut.

Please read this story from @kahlilahmad420 and @yahyaahbil and share.

This is a displaced family in Gaza. Recently a storm has destroyed this family's tent, and they are totally homeless. Kahlil tells me they need €2,000 for a new tent urgently.

This fundraiser has been vouched for by these vetters, 90ghost link, and gaza-evacuation-funds link . 90ghost is a trusted Palestinian blogger who has vetted other legit fundraisers.

Here is the description on the campaign:

"Hello, My name is Yahya from Gaza, I am 20 years old, a student in the Faculty of Pharmacy. I had ambitions and dreams and I was living a happy life with my family in our simple home, but something like a nightmare happened. The war came and took all our dreams and destroyed our home. Our life became very difficult and arduous. We lived in tents in the extreme heat. My father suffers from chronic diseases, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and a defect in two cartilages in his back and a cartilage in his neck. He needs medications that are not available. My little brother suffers from visual acuity, meaning his vision is very weak and he needs an operation abroad. Please help me save my sick family. My father and brother, I ask you for support and participation. Thank you all ♥️"

even though I'm a very avid reader, I have the horrible habit of skimming and it came back to bite me today bc I'm rereading darkest minds and I got to the part where ruby is telling liam about her parents/Sam and am sobbing bc I had never read the part where ruby says that she was "Sam's 'Chubs' until she wasn't" and for some reason I had never realized how close they had been(even though im also pretty sure they have a cute reunion scene in ITA but i need to reread the whole book too bc its been forever and tbh i dont remember how it ends) and it just broke my heart idk...anyway don't skim your books kids

In 1945 World War II had kept front line nurse Claire Randall and soldier husband Frank apart. Now that the war was concluded, the two embarked on a second honeymoon. Not only did Frank hope to reconnect with his wife, but looked to reconnect with his family’s past so chose to visit his ancestral home. Things seemed to be going well until Claire suddenly found herself hurled back to the year 1743 where she met one of Frank’s ancestors. ("Sassenach", Outlander, TV)

What is the Landlady

It’s a suspense short story written by Roald Dahl about a 17yo boy, Billy Weaver, who recently moved from London to Bath to become a businessman. He was too focused on becoming a “brisk” businessman he didn’t realize that the bed and breakfast he was staying at was a tad… Peculiar. As was the landlady.

I’d highly recommend it, here’s a link to a pdf for it! :3

Before you next vote, you must read this from The New Yorker

By STEVEN DOWNES If you live in an old country, it can be easy to succumb to a narrative of decline. The state withers. The charlatans take over. You give up on progress, to some extent, and simply pray that this particular chapter of British nonsense will come to an end. It will. Rishi Sunak, the fifth, and presumably final, Conservative Prime Minister of the era, faces an election later this…

Ambush, 1950, Is Playing on TCM on December 26 (USA)

Ambush (1950) is playing on Turner Classic Movies on Monday, December 26 at 2 p.m. There are at least two versions of Ambush. The longer one contains the opening scene with an Indian attack on a wagon train and the kidnapping of a woman. It also has a fairly long scene of Robert Taylor and John Hodiak in the shower, behind a modesty wall. However, for us of the female persuasion, they both…

I love these polls so I wanted to do this one again but without Franklin who won last time. I also added some roles that I got in trouble for missing out last time 😅

[fictional-library-tournament]

Prelims round 2, poll 2

Propaganda:

Downing Hill Public Library, Hello from the Hallowoods by William A Wellman:

It’s the largest collection of secret and occult texts on the planet and also a school teaching those of covenant blood (aka their ancestors made a pact with Indescribable gods) to become witches. Their motivations are shady and unknown, but they seem to believe all forbidden books should be under their control and have no qualms about working with some very evil individuals to gain those books. You can check out a spell book of dark magic pretty easily but if you don’t bring it back in time, they will send a horrible raven-amalgamation called the Omen after you.

Mrs Phelps' library, Matilda by Roald Dahl:

Matilda's safe place

Bag End library, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien:

Not the largest collection, but in possession of THE primary sources regarding the Fellowship of the Ring and the adventure to the Lonely Mountain, as well as several other historical texts and translations that may otherwise have been lost to time without the care and keeping of Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam.

The Black Archives, Doctor Who:

Contains so much alien stuff! And you have to have your memory wiped after every shift so I imagine it messes you up a bit

SCP-4001 "Alexandria Eternal", SCP Foundation

Its books contain the entire true events of all humans dead and alive, its space loops around on itself, the decoration fits the current times at all times, there are about 120 Billion books!

It's the place of all truths of this world but the lighting is shit.

happy wincest wednesday!!! i really want to pay it forward from the ask you sent me last week and ask what you (both?) think sam and dean's favorite books are! i mostly answered based on what books i had already read, so i'm really curious if in the books you've read you'd have different opinions! if not though (or in addition if you'd like!), i'd love to know what you think their favorite movies are, too :) give dean's favorite medium a moment in the spotlight, too 💖 (@incesthemes)

hi! happy wincest wednesday!

hmm--i think sam has a long, enduring, passionate love affair with the hardy boys and nancy drew books. i think he longs in some ways to be the hardy boys/nancy drew, because they get to solve mysteries and be hypercompetent while also having a secure home environment. in nancy's case, she's popular and has a boyfriend and also gets to explore thick tomes of town lore. they were so easy to find at libraries across america, and super easy to steal/shoplift because of how thin they were.

(dean also makes fun of him by calling him a hardy boy for a long time, i imagine. you also cannot tell me dean would not get an absolute fucking kick out of calling sam "nancy")

i also think that as he gets older, he gets more bitter/disillusioned about both series, but still has a secret fondness for seeing their covers in bookstores.

as he gets older (high school age), sam definitely gravitates towards more gothic, as you mentioned! i think he finds wuthering heights compelling, but can't quite put his finger on it, and never tells dean because dean would make fun of him for liking such a girly book. science fiction/horror novellas are also fun to him (frankenstein, poe, dracula, jekyll, the murders in rue morgue).

we know dean is a closet intellectual at his own choice, so i imagine he steals/lifts books from libraries/stores, and keeps them in the bottom of his duffle. i think a lot of this happens after sam leaves for college and dean suddenly has 80 hours of free time a week now that he's not huffing sam's boxers and staring at him lovingly in the rearview mirror.

in terms of books that they had to read (and inevitably read/reread over and over again as they move to schools that haven't read them yet):

sam likes: tale of two cities by dickens, telltale heart by poe, in cold blood by capote, inferno by dante, to kill a mockingbird by lee, yellow wallpaper by gilman, matilda by dahl sam HATES: romeo and juliet by shakespeare, heart of darkness by conrad, a separate peace by knowles (he hates that he finds himself in gene), tess of the d'urbervilles (bc he also hates he strangely relates to it)

dean likes: in cold blood by capote, hamlet by shakespeare, 1984 by orwell, lord of the flies by golding, and then there were none by christie, count of monte christo by dumas, any western he can get his hands on dean HATES: frankenstein by shelley, a good man by o'conner (HATES IT), catcher in the rye by salinger (it makes him angry that he gets called out), lolita by nabokov (it makes him a little nauseous how much he likes it, he agrees that humbert is a pedophile, but the depth of the "devotion" there makes him ill), dense histories like war and peace/tale of two cities/les miserables, etc.; he hates anything by dostoevsky--he finds the morality to be posturing and tiresome

i think they BOTH love the LOTR series--books and movies. as they both canonically watch GOT together as adults (and considering dean is more into LARPing than he likes to admit) i think they both love fantasy.

dean saw two towers while sam was away at college and has been dreaming nonstop of dying in an epic battle protecting those he loves in heroic and sexy ways like in the battle for helms deep.

but he still mostly refuses to watch the parts with frodo/sam in return of the king because "frodo is annoying" (because he gets uncomfortable and scared when frodo and sam touch foreheads and cry and sam picks up frodo because he can't carry the ring but he can carry frodo, and hearing frodo scream sam's name in agony makes him nauseous)

dean swears he likes LOTR for the fights but sam knows better.

(secretly, i think dean used to read chapters of the hobbit to sam when he was really small. it's the first book john buys him after the fire because john grew up with his own dad reading it to him before he disappeared.)

i think as an adult, dean gravitates towards more crime thrillers. they have clean cut endings, and he likes how the main character is usually a grizzled, alcoholic washup looking for redemption with his estranged wife (he completely cannot relate). he also likes brandon sanderson until he finds out Nerds also like them, so he gives up on them.

and i think sam might gravitate towards nonfiction/realistic fiction/historical fiction. he doesn't want to read about quests, he doesn't want to read about chosen ones, he doesn't want to read about brothers having to watch each other die, he doesn't want to read about how Bad is Always Bad.

bonus: they both read 50 shades after the craze in like 2015, and dean was scandalized to read this in a book while sam was like...this is it? he hits her a couple of times??

i've mentioned this a MILLION times, but i think they both love the die hard movie series. mostly the first one, and mostly dean, but they try to catch the marathons on cable every christmas.

dean loves the lost boys (because COME ON OF COURSE HE DOES!!! little brother and vampires and the good guys win! no moral complexity!), ghost busters, roadhouse, quick and fast murder mysteries with easy solutions, dirty dancing, tombstone, rocky, jaws, and--secretly--little women. he cries like a fucking kid being dragged away from a candy store.

sam loves indiana jones, star trek, friday the 13th (bc if he follows the Horror Movie rules, he and his family are safe!), the rear window, ET, it's a wonderful life (a movie about how your life has meaning even if you think you're making everyone's life worse...come on...), and a million arthouse movies about how life is strange and vulnerable.

they both like/watch together: star wars, bill & ted's excellent adventure, die hard, jurassic park, LOTR, the early 2000 fantastic four movies (they're not good, but they're mindless; dean wants to be johnny storm and sammy would DIE to be reed; dean likes to joke that sam's jessica alba instead), oceans 11

sam doesn't like monster movies anymore. dean doesn't like war movies anymore.

THIS WAS SO MUCH LOL I'M SO SORRY--i have a lot of thoughts about their favourite books/movies apparently! thank you so much for this ask--it was SO FUN to answer, lol! <3

i have texted charlotte and will reblog with her opinions when she responds! (she is busy gworl)

Okay dudes, queens, mortals, and gods— hear me out.

I had a dream many months ago on a Thursday and by golly it put me in a tizzy.

The dream was a fusion between DC, DP, and Roald Dahl’s The Witches, specifically the 1990 movie with Mr. bean.

In it Damian (15), Danny (15), and Grandma Mason (???) were placed into a dreamscape/vision by the spirits of all the children the Witches had killed— and a third party— to warn them of their newest scheme.

We all know Manbat, right? Good, because the Witches took inspiration from the serum but made it less monstrous and created Formula 86 out of it. Their plan is similar to the movies and books, just buy candy stores and turn all the kids into rodents— except they turn into a different species of bat instead.

Danny, Damian, and Grandma Mason work together to stop the threat with a few twists and turns along the way. And yes, the boys get turned into bats.

Along with that, Tim and Tucker become coffee buddies and discover a big coffee syrup manufacturer may have more secrets then what they let on.

Also Sam, Jazz, and some of the batgirls uncover a mysterious set of giant figures wondering about at night. All the while, Sam and Grandma Mason talk magic.

All these stories connected into one another and it’s been in my mind for months. I’ve been struggling to write this. It’s chaos incarcerate, and that Death by Coffee Post and little blurb I posted after it are from this puzzle of a wip. I’ve been calling it, ‘The Witches did What?’

Here is the unedited summary I have written for it:

Danny and Damian share a mysterious vision/ dream that quickly turns into a nightmare. With both too many and not enough clues to make sense of the horrors that lied before them, they tried their best to navigate it before they ran into a danger neither of them were familiar with. That is, until they find Sam’s grandmother in the dream too. With the promises of an explanation and guidance, the three make plans to meet again in the waking world.

Little did the two boys realize just what type of trouble they’ve uncovered, wether it be on purpose or not. A type of trouble with a sizzling hatred unlike any hatred felt by either the living, or the dead. A sizzling, burning hatred towards children, and apparently… Teenagers aren’t excluded from it. They may have grandma and their various abilities…

But will it be enough to fight against The Grand High Witch?

If anyone is interested in hearing more, let me know. I have like, around forty something pages written out at this point, but I’m not confident in the beginning part of the story. The pacing needs work. But I do have a full chapter.

I guess this is a call for help? Ehh?

I don’t know, I just live here.

Thanks for listening to me rant about a fic idea at the very least!

spn/Gotham crossover AU

concept :

Ed ( Gotham ) and Sam ( Spn ) were classmates in a human rights course at university. They worked together on home-works and class projects and were sort of each other’s bi awakening. They almost were a thing but Sam already had a date with Jess when they figured it out, then, well, spn pilot episode happens and they get separated.

years later ( Gotham post-canon, somewhere in spn canon ), Sam and Dean pick up a haunted mansion case in Gotham, it’s the Van Dahl manor they were requested by Oswald Cobblepot ( partner of Ed ) so they meet again.

( Sam doesn’t realize Ed and Oswald are criminals, and only Oswald believes that Sam and Dean hunt ghosts. Ed refuses to believe but humors Oswald. )
