Hi I have a request for Dean Winchester!

Maybe reader and Dean have like a frenemies relationship and the only reason she hunts with them is cos like her and Sam are close friends.

Naturally her and Dean get into alot of arguments and they would always end with the reader saying somthing in Latin or ancient Greek or another dead language that Dean knows some stuff in but not conversational words. He thinks it's an insult but it turns out it the reader calling him beautiful or like complementing him begrudgingly. One day Sam witnesses this and is like "Dean..."

Amd bish bash bosh dramatic confessions or something.

Or somthing along thoes lines my main request is that you have fun writing and go wherever you want to with it!!!

Candidate for Completion - Theodicy

Theodicy

People like to think - in the way that people like to avoid uncomfortable notions - that this is just the way things are now, that this is the way things will stay. Sure it’s bad but now it’s normal and normal is livable. Normal doesn’t need you to get up and get out of the house to take a chance on trying to fix it and maybe failing. Normal means that your peaceful life can continue. Normal is comfortable.

WHAT

Diag Fol, you see, was progress given form in this backwards world. A shining beacon of what was possible with just a little bit of human effort and a pinch of ruthless, merciless liberation. Diag Fol was proof that another way was possible, nay, preferable!  Superior!

Knowing this, how could the fine, bold, inspiring leaders of Diag Fol ever stop at just one?

That the Diags are full of small gods is just a fact - they’re everywhere! They are part of the fabric of life. They’re vital! They look after every aspect of everything, and all it takes is a little acknowledgement of this. Is that so hard?

No, no it is not, and life has continued in this way for generations. The Diags fight, they stop fighting, they trade, one of them is invaded by Those From Across The Sea again, the land between the Diags remains small godless and wild and dangerous, life trundles forward, all is well.

Or rather all was well. One day, out of nowhere, Diag Fol is overthrown! And not in the normal way where one group of small god-fearing people swap out one set of leadership for another. That’s normal.

No this time they killed the small gods. All of them. Every last one in the Diag, every single one. This should be impossible. It has to be impossible! But they did it. And they didn’t stop there - all priests killed, all icons smashed, all signs of piety purged.

A free Diag now, they claim. And they have devices now. Amazing devices! Devices against which no one Diag can stand. And can the Diags unite to fight back? Like fuck they can.

And just as things reach a boiling point - just when Diag Fol prepares to roll out the liberation of humanity from the yoke of oppression - a priest of an obscure, forgotten small god who survived the last eighty years by being dead wakes up in a box in a cupboard, and finds himself charged with a mission to, well...

Not fix things, it’s too late for that.

But they can be...

Manipulated.

WHO

Amphibalus had  never met anyone From Across The Sea, of course. Very few people had. But he’d heard enough about them to know he wouldn’t ever want to. Strange people. Long fingers, big boats, deep eyes. Questionable theology.

There is a handful of characters in this one...

There’s the main chap, the priest. He’s killed before the story really starts and first shows up as a corpse. His name is Amphibalus. Prior to being killed, he was an old man. Strange events lead to his corpse getting stuffed into a chest in an abandonned house and forgotten about for, ooh, about eighty years.

He later wakes up in a healthy, young man’s body. Also naked. Also very confused. He’s nudged in directions without a clear idea of what he’s actually meant to do. There’s an idea, but he can’t grasp it. And he’s in probably the most unfriendly place possible for a man of a small god.

Then there’s some others. There’s the leader of the god-killing revolutionaries who overtook Diag Fol and who is kind of an unhinged lunatic with some very high-scale ideas for what should happen to the world. There’s a lady weapons developer who works under him who will do...something.

There’s a spy in Diag Fol who’ll meet up with Amphibalus. She has a pidgeon.

And there’s some other guy who wanders around killing people in the name of his small god, who lives in his sword. Think he’s called Ronan. He ends up getting into Diag Fol somehow, I think.

Eh, stuff.

Oh yeah, now I’m remembering that the small god who lives in the sword is probably one of only two small gods who actually get lines in the story and I forgot how much of a bloodthirsty mad bastard I made them.

But who else would live in a sword but a bloodthirsty mad bastard?

WHERE

“I’m hiDing IN youR SKin, ronan.”

“I know.”

“i aM swiMMIng iN yOUR BLOOD. I fEEl safE.”

Ronan shook his head.

What I need is a very definite idea of the structure. There’s a lot of rambling that kind of hints at the nature of the world - and a whole chunk which just out-and-out explains the whole structure of the UNIVERSE and HOW THE SMALL GODS ACTUALLY FIT INTO IT - which might be a little on the nose.

But what really needs nailing down is just the through line.

Amphibalus wakes up. He wanders around. He bumps into some IMPORTANT PEOPLE. He runs. He obliquely speaks to the lunatic leader guy. He rusn some more. He meets the spy. He finally learns something about the world he’s woken up in. He sees a sign. Bish bash bosh, some hints at the lunatic leader’s plan, some way of stopping it, blah blah whatever.

Oh and I need a new title because, as I remembered too late, Small Gods is a Discworld book - whoops!

WHY

There’s very little as terrifying as being in a place where every single other person present believes the exact opposite about everything that you do and them all realising this all at the same time.

Many, many pairs of suddenly unhappy eyes all turning in the same direction. Fists clenching. Bile rising in the back of throats. Righteous indignation building in the bosoms of people who heavily outnumber you.

Nothing good can come of this.

The basic idea of “There are gods and they are known to exist but one day they are all murdered by humans and one priest survives and comes back later in a godless world to do a thing” is an idea I’ve had for a while and never really been able to do anything useful with.

Originally the idea involved humans cannibalising the dead ‘bodies’ of gods for power purposes or something suitably grim. This time it’s...not quite that...but still something.

This isn’t a commentary on religion or anything like that. It’s just a lark. There’s no points being made. Or if there are, I ain’t the one makin’ ‘em!

WELL

“For I am a godly woman, and my god travels with me. They’re strange like that. Pigeon is the name they go by. I serve them well and in turn I am provided for.”

“Pigeon?” Amphibalus asked. He couldn’t help himself. The woman looked a touch sheepish for a moment but then straightened up.

“Unusual, yes. Perhaps even humble. But who are we to question? Certainly it is appropriate. My small god’s domain lies with pigeons, you see. An animal with which they have a certain natural rapport and an uncanny ability to manipulate. Very useful for someone in my line of work.”

“I can imagine,” Amphibalus said.

He was lying. He could not.

To do this one I’d need to CARE, and the circumstances needed for me to CARE are very specific and esoteric. It usually only happens at night, and I have to be sitting in a chair at a table or a desk. And I have to be on my own and in a fairly cheerful state of mind.

You think I’m joking but I’m not.

Theoretically I don’t mind this story much, but nothing in it has GRABBED ME and the characters are just kind of bleh to me right now. None have formed yet because I haven’t done enough of it, and I haven’t done enough of it because the characters aren’t formed enough to grab me.

Irony!

Chimps McGee

You know they say in about ten or fifteen years time, one of the first world problems that our children or grandchildren will have will be picking out their usernames when signing up for social media or games. Luckily for me I had my username picked out and stamped in right at the ripe old age of twelve. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, you name it I’ve got it locked in. To be honest with you, it’s probably not the best idea to have a twelve year old decide what online moniker you’re going to be rocking for the rest of your life. But hey, over time it slowly grew on me (or I’ve been too lazy to change it after all these years). Chimps McGee. Damn, what a name (is what twelve year old me definitely thought when I locked it in).

A lot of people always get asked how they came up with their online usernames, especially if it happens to be one that comes from out of the blue or from out of left field. Well for me, when I was a kid one of the hottest commodities at the time was a little thing called Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo GameCube. A fighting game filled with an all-star roster of Nintendo’s finest. You had icons such as Mario, Luigi, Samus, Link, and my all-time favourite banana loving ape, Donkey Kong. Bear in mind, I wasn’t the best at video games, and the only time I could play was when I went over to a friend’s house that had the console and the game. Because of this, I really wasn’t that great whenever I grabbed a controller and started pressing buttons. However that didn’t matter with the Kong, as you could just run around and charge up a giant swing and wait for any unlucky passerby to catch a fistful of supreme ape power. I loved that guy, and would snap him up at any opportunity I could.

When Super Smash Brothers Brawl came out for the Nintendo Wii I was ecstatic to see my ape friend back at it again in the starting lineup. Bish. Bash. Bosh! Again, every chance I could I’d snap him up and take the king of the jungle for a spin. Whenever another Nintendo game came out I’d always look for my furry friend. Mario Kart? Donkey Kong. Mario Party? Donkey Kong. Mario Tennis? Donkey Kong. With every additional game that I played with him I fell in love with him more and more.

“Hey who do you wanna pl-“

“Donkey Kong.”

“You sure?

“Yeah gimme the Kong.”

“But he’s one of the wor-“

“Kong time monkey time.”

Given my Kong filled obsession, by the time I was old enough to start picking usernames and social media handles there was no question as to what I was gonna pi-.

Oh. Donkey Kong’s taken?

Oh… well… man…

What about Chimps McGee? It’s free? Okay well then that’s good enough for me too.

And so, whenever somebody asks me about how the name Chimps McGee was born, I tell them its origin story that involves a monkey brained twelve year old child and his fond memories of an even bigger monkey brained king.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Good God.

I finally managed to watch the final episodes of the show, and even though it wasn’t the most pitch-perfect ending ever (and even though I skipped like all of the final season), I still gotta dish out my thoughts on the whole thing. It’s not my tippy-top most favorite show, but it’s definitely the one with the most lasting impact on me. I mean, considering it created one of the biggest fandoms of all time, I’m pretty sure I’m far from alone there.

Obviously have to start from the beginning. I think I got into MLP around the 2nd season, maybe in the middle of it but definitely before the 3rd. I don’t exactly remember, since it was so long ago, but the first two seasons might hold some of the most saccharine, mindless nostalgia of all. Every single episode holds some spot in my memory, even the filler episodes with the cheesy notes to Celestia at the end of them. Honestly those were adorable, even if they were the classic kid’s show trope of “Let’s explain the moral to the kids who don’t have half a brain” but it’s actually pretty charming. That’s nostalgia talking, by the way. Obviously. If I found a new show today that did that, I’d roll my eyes a little, and I probably did when I was first watching the show. 

But, it’s an understatement that this was my life. Of course, I was at that time of my life where one thing could very easily become my entire world, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t matter to me. The pretty solid, unchanging artstyle gave me an opening to try and draw it, and for years I exclusively drew ponies, and even when I had a human character, I’d only be able to draw them in pony form, so I ended up meshing their stories into fanfiction on how they could become ponies. My “Icon” character at the time, Satyr, was probably the first original character I drew, and I can still remember the exact drawing I made of him. Obviously a pony, he was sort of larger and masculine, conveniently blinking eye so I didn’t have to deal with that, basic hair/tail styles, and for some reason a jagged zig-zag pattern going laterally across his body, like those “How would a horse wear pants?” memes. I thought it was really good, so I kept going, and here I am ages later still drawing stuff. I couldn’t even bare to fully ditch the shitty characters I made (and I’m going to explain them without context because I just feel like it): Satyr got split into his immortal and prince-ly side; Diane, a manic serial killer, shrunk down but kept her impossibly anxious personality; Gaseous is basically all the same, except he doesn’t meet the rest of the crew in what parts of his story I know about; Sistenagon (here we go with the weird names, they don’t mean anything) still kept his (her? Don’t actually remember which I called it) wasp-y nature, except in the form of an insect-based fairy tribe leader; Stelerachyt, who I drew as a Diamond Dog, is still a big, fluffy, dog, but turned into a more regal and kingly type of person; and Myriad Alloy (the only one with an actual pony name) got a complete makeover, and actually became my favorite end result after all is said and done.

Like, I love ranting about these guys. They were basically my own Mane Six. And yes, Satyr TOTALLY dated Twilight. Why wouldn’t he? Main character a Main character. Plus, he was supposed to be me, and I totally wanted to hit that. I’m not ashamed to admit it.

I mean, I guess a big part of why I actually went down that path was because of the large fanbase. I didn’t begin with the beginning of the show, but I guess I came in with the first large wave, so all of the stuff I made got just enough attention to make me think people wanted to see what I was making. If I started out with OCs, no one would’ve cared, and I very well could’ve stopped.

Even apart from that, this show definitely kick started my downward spiral into femininity. I mean, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Everyone “knew” MLP as being something super shallow, only to be enjoyed by shallow little girls, then they pumped out Friendship is Magic and everyone else loved it, so I gave it a shot, and I loved it too. Obviously every fandom has the people who openly, irrationally hate them, but the whole thing was welcoming enough to keep it solidified in my mind, and bish bash bosh, it kept going and will probably keep going into eternity. It’s funny, even then I drew Satyr with the more feminine pony design (not entirely because drawing the male pony type was harder), so I was setting myself up for the future.

I guess this kind of gives me a window to talk about My Life as a Teenage Robot, because for as long as I could remember before actually watching the show, I seriously despised any instance of XJ9 I could find. If an image of her popped up on screen, I would close it faster than if it was porn found while around my parents. I don’t know why she was so harshly ingrained in my mind. You could argue I just hated “girly” stuff before I realized I actually loved it, and didn’t want to face my emotions, but I wasn’t exaggerating at all about that porn thing. I actually couldn’t look at her for more than a second. But, one day I decided to cave in and see what was up, and soon enough she became one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time.

Back to ponies, some of the content produced by the fandom also had some extremely fond memories in my mind. I think I still have some songs by The Living Tombstone and WoodenToaster on my MP3 player (partially because it’s just good stuff) and for some reason playing on MLP-themed TF2 servers was actually really fun too. Some notable fandom people reacting to recent episodes was a spectacle I always looked forward to, and I still am subscribed to Saberspark and Ratchet on Youtube after all this time, probably as well as various other people who are still there but haven’t posted anything since the settling of the fandom. I just remembered, Hotdiggetydemon probably qualifies for all that too, since his .Mov series was the talk of the whole fandom. That, and Friendship is Witchcraft. I had to re-look up the name of that one though, but I still loved it.

I guess I should play favorites, huh? Favorites was the one game everyone in the fandom played. 

Favorite episode: Can’t not be a tie between the 2-parters of Season 2. Discord is a riot, and Chrysalis is actually one of my favorite villain designs of all time. I’m a sucker for both shapeshifters and bugs, so you can’t expect me to not like her. Glad she rode the villain boat till the very end, although reformed Discord is definitely fine too. Plus, the rest of the Changelings turned anyway.

Favorite song: You expect me to not tie things up here? The Flim Flam brother’s Super Cider Squeezy 6000 is great, as are the brothers themselves, and I also love This Day Aria, since it’s the focal point where people realized this show seriously wasn’t just colorful, cute ponies. The Art of the Dress is also pretty catchy. 

Actually, just remembered. Under Our Spell might be it. Took me a while to remember the EQG stuff, but that song is seriously good, and unironically better than the generic dribble that somehow magically beat it.

Favorite background pony(ies): Vinyl and Octavia are a pretty cute duo, and with the killer duet in the Slice of Life episode, ya gotta love em. Funny thing, though: There’s this background pony that looks almost identical to my current self-insert pony OC, with purple hair and a grey coat, with a seemingly writing-based cutie mark and green eyes. He’s even a unicorn too. It wasn’t intentional, I swear.

Favorite CMC: Sweetie Belle is too much. Her little squeaks are too pure. I can’t take it. Applebloom has nice colors, though.

Favorite Princess: If you don’t say Luna you’re a cop

Favorite non-pony species: Obviously Changelings, but after their reformation the honors actually switch to the Kirins, just because of how cool they look. The Yaks are pretty fun too. Speaking of…

Favorite nu-Mane Six (or are they called the School Six? Whatever, you know what I mean): All Yona. And yes, I had to look up her name was, who cares? She’s adorable.

Favorite of the Pillars of Equestria: I honestly love that they made Starswirl an actual character in the show. For the longest time, people just assumed he would stay in the form of Twilight’s Nightmare Night costume forever, but then they actually made him real! That’s really cool.

Favorite Equestria Girls design: Once again, Sweetie Belle steals both this spot and my heart.

And, of course… Favorite of the Mane Six:

Honestly, it just depends on the mood I’m in. Not even remotely lying there.

Fluttershy would’ve been my answer way back then, since I was into the shy types. There’s definitely something still there. You can’t deny that she’s the most cuddly of them all.

Twilight might’ve been a tie for the top around then too, since I was also the too-smart-for-humanity type. That leads into you liking the “smart” ones. Plus, in the latter half of the series, she did feel like she was put one step above the rest of the cast. That kinda makes her feel slightly off, I guess. Still like her, though.

Pinkie Pie’s one of those that I can imagine liking, but if I ever actually had to deal with that much energy I might actually melt. And, not in that I’m-totally-in-love kind of melting. Literal, actual melting. 

Rarity, in terms of concept, is easily my favorite type of character for the show. On the surface, she’s the generic fashionista type that every girl’s show has, but instead of her being someone who “just makes clothes” she’s actually seriously hard working and goes through all the regular motions you’d expect from an artist. Turning such a cliche on its head and giving it a much more realistic image is perfect for this show. Also, she’s purple. I like purple.

Not much really needs to be said about Applejack. She really seems like the most logical one of the group, even at the very beginning. That’s great to have when everyone else is acting like spoiled/sheltered brats (at least, when she’s not acting that way either).

But, I really gotta be honest… I’m never really in the mood for Rainbow Dash. She’s like the opposite of AJ, where she’s always some degree of arrogant, and even though watching her achieve her dreams is nice, her big head gets a little annoying for side gags. Also, if you showed me a plain picture of the Mane Six, I would’ve told you she was the main character instead of Twilight, just because she stands out so much more. I mean, the show isn’t called “Twilight Sparkle: Friendship is Magic,” but still.

If you really want a straight answer, I’m in a Rarity mood right now, so I’ll go with that. It’s probably the safest bet, because, like I said, I do love purple. Not just purple, but purple AND white put together. One of my favorite color combinations. Just add a little gold, and you’re, well, you know...

But… Yeah. All good things had to come to an end. I feel like its time came. Plus, they ended the show with the little story book thing they did in the very first episode, so as far as I’m concerned the series is complete. It did its job, anyway.

Match Report - 24 November 2017 - 9 Knees FC are Premiership Champions & The Not So Bright Sparks are Champions of Division One

PREMIERSHIP

On a highly pressurised Black Friday, the Premiership questions were answered but at times it was more like black magic at play, in an unexpected sequence of events.

But it says so much about the quality of the FNL since there are no easy games, in all three divisions, and irrespective of league positions, every team battles right through to the end of the season.

It would have been right to have ‘expected’ Expected Toulouse to defeat Always Passing Borussia Mönchengladbachwards in the 7.00pm kick off to keep the pressure on 9 Knees FC to win in an equally tough fixture against Lioncourt Veterans at 7.30pm. With only one point between the top two teams the Premiership climax was on a knife edge! It appeared that the enormity of the occasion got to some of the key players and there is no doubt that their opponents were really fired up to produce two intriguing contests.

Expected Toulouse were 2-0 down at the interval against Noah’s well drilled and efficient Always Passing Borussia Mönchengladbachwards team, who have also had a very impressive season. The ‘Frenchmen’ clawed themselves back into the game only for Always Passing Borussia Mönchengladbachwards to pull away again and win the match 5-2. In a highly competitive game, Always Passing Borussia Mönchengladbachwards finally ended any chance of Expected Toulouse winning the league and also ensured that they would finish a credible third. Special mention also has to be made of Adam Foster in the Always Passing Borussia Mönchengladbachwards goal, who was again absolutely outstanding.

It was a cruel end to a fantastic season for Elliott’s Expected Toulouse, who have produced some scintillating performances and at one stage looked uncatchable at the top. In the end, they have to settle for runners up but they will be major challengers again next season. There is no doubt about that!

Within minutes, the jungle drums were beating throughout the Five Valleys and 9 Knees FC arrived knowing that they were Champions in their first season in the Premiership. This is a fantastic achievement for Luke’s young team. Congratulations lads, you are worthy winners and you have been an extremely exciting team to watch throughout.

But if they thought they were going to get the respect, that champions deserve, from their opponents then that was quickly dispelled by Lioncourt Veterans. 9 Knees FC got off to a good start and were 1-0 ahead at the interval. But The ‘Veterans’ are made of strong stuff this season and they bounced back with a second half goal to draw the game 1-1, leaving Expected Toulouse with the feeling of ‘if only!’

It was also a very tense affair at the bottom of the table with Coaley Crows taking on Randwick Warriors. Quite simply the ‘Cricketers’ had to win to move off the bottom of the table and avoid relegation, whereas a draw would be good enough for Coaley. The ‘Crows’ scored first but just before the interval Matt hit a clinical penalty to pull it back to all square at half time. Game on! But in the second half the revitalised Coaley Cows, driven on by James Little, who again made the long journey to play, eventually pulled away to win 5-1 with James claiming a hattrick.

This result condemns Randwick Warriors to relegation, which is particularly disappointing to report since they have been such great competitors in the top flight and at times were at the wrong end of extremely close results.

The other game in the Premiership was between two of the teams that were expected to challenge for the title, Bright Sparks and Lioncourt Legends. In another close game, the ‘Sparkies’ won 7-4 to condemn the ‘Homebuilders’ to sixth position in the league and below both Bright Sparks and Lioncourt Veterans. I didn’t get much time to watch this match, in fact only 10 seconds. If was 10 seconds of supreme class by Ollie for Lioncourt. What a skilful player he is and during that 10 seconds he scored 2 goals whilst attempting to be marked by ‘bish bash bosh Josh.’ Ollie had a wry smile on his face and Josh looked totally bemused! It was worth the entrance money just to witness those 10 iconic seconds that were shared by a number of us!

Bright Sparks play Lioncourt Veterans next week to decide who will finish fourth in the final game of the Premiership season. That will really kick Christmas off with a bang!

DIVISION ONE

The Not So Bright Sparks and Making Emile Of It met in the top of the table clash but the ‘Sparkies’ proved to be too strong and ran out 5-1 winners, with their leader and commander Josh claiming another man of the match award! As a consequence, The Not So Bright Sparks are champions of Division One and they greatly deserve this success. They have been the outstanding team in Division One this season and after losing their first two games have bounced back to dominate the league. Congratulations lads.

Ebley Street Elite claimed a significant scalp by defeating Slumdog Mignolet 5-1 and in doing so put a major dent in the loser’s chances of claiming the runners up spot.

Hardly Athletic claimed all three points and a 3-0 win against Fatdads.

Next week, Making Emile Of It, Hardly Athletic, Fatdads and Slumdog Mignolet will all battle for the runners up spot and a coveted place in the Premiership next season. It’s going to be a fascinating conclusion to the season!

DIVISION TWO

Hot Coles may still be top but they look like they are running out of steam! In fact, the Coles don’t look much more than luke warm at the moment. Tonight they were outclassed by the strong and impressive Grace Network, 8-3, to close the gap to just 3 points between them.

This result also helped 3 Stripe to close the gap on the leaders to just three points as well, as they defeated SWR Youth FC 9-6 in a fantastic match. 3 Stripe look every bit ready for the higher league and SWR proved again that they will be a match for anyone in Division Two next season.

Spartans were good value for their 6-1 victory over Renewables First but the ‘Engineers’ proved again that they are only marginally short of claiming their first win of the season. Sam claimed the man of the match award for Spartans, with energetic performances, as normal, from Jack and Lawrie.   FRIENDLIES

There was also a very competitive game between our two new teams, that will join the league in January, Breakaway Boys FC and Not So Athletic. There was very little between the teams and there is no doubt that we have two great additions to the FNL. Breakaway Boys won 6-4 and it is clear that both sides will fare well in the league next season.

There was another close encounter between Hardly Athletic and The Misfits with the Hardly lads surrendering a 5-2 interval lead to lose 9-7!

Overall it was another great night of football and whilst some of you will now go into your Christmas break there is still much to play for over the next two weeks, particularly in Division One and Division Two.

The new season starts on Friday 5 January.
