Why are there so many bots lately? Just blocked like 15 that followed me this last week. Meanwhile the only person I've heard from on here in months is my brother who keeps spamming me with cats and incorrect quotes. Is anyone on this site real anymore? Hello??

You know what? the best supernatural spin off would have nothing to do with the Winchesters and instead would be about Samuel motherfucking Colt because dude absolutely had something going on. And was tripping absolute balls all the fucking time
Dude not only builds a literal kills almost all gun (that no one knows how it works exactly), he also built a fucking devil’s gate and the series of railroad tracks that formed a giant devils trap in the middle of fucking nowhere Wyoming that was somehow also a great fucking hotspot to talk with Lucifer in the cage. Why the fuck would he build a devil’s gate and then the devil trap protecting it? Why could this dude not be normal? Not to mention He also fought a Phoenix!!! A Phoenix! The only Phoenix that has ever been reported to exist and whose ashes are the only thing that can kill the literal mother of all monsters. Which he somehow mails to Sam and Dean in the future using a phone from several years in the future that he literally just got earlier that afternoon.
Dude was on some serious shit. Man was definitely receiving the most violently random prophetic visions from god. Dude literally went, it came to me in a dream and built a weapon that’s literally still confounding people generations later and would function as a key to a fucking devils gate that would literally be the first step in so much shit going down in so little time generations later . Wouldn’t have even surprised me if they also said he was responsible for Ruby’s knife.
He also, most importantly, is from the wild wild fucking west!!! How cool would a show about that be? A fucking genius inventor hunts monsters in the Wild West while some being he knows nothing about but deeply suspects is giving him blueprints for big, wild things and weapons for how to stop them, or at least slow them down.

The Madrigal triplets embody the Fight, Flight and Freeze responses a little too perfectly.
Fight - Pepa
We see her under immense pressure to keep her feelings contained, but she is quick to snap when challenged. We see it whenever Alma calls out her inclement weather. She is quick to lash out at her niece who she clearly loves. There is so much she’s barely containing below the surface that it comes out quickly and aggressively when she gets triggered.
Flight - Bruno
This one seems the most obvious. Instead of taking a stance when he has the vision about Mirabel, he leaves. He flees the situation. It’s implied that the first time in his fifty years of life that he has ever confronted his mother directly was for the sake of his niece. His stairs got higher and his room got further away so he wouldn’t have to deal with the situations going on in the family. When Mirabel finds him in the walls, he is reluctant to leave.
Freeze - Julieta
I used to get frustrated with Julieta’s passivity before I started seeing her through the lens of trauma. Just because she seems to have everything together doesn’t mean she does, and she deserves the same level of understanding as her more turbulent siblings. I think there is evidence to support that Julieta’s trauma response is to freeze. For most of the movie, she stays quiet and in the background whenever her mother criticizes her daughter. She may have gotten conditioned over the years to just stand there and take it to avoid escalating a situation.

I had thoughts I needed to get off my mind. I watched Bridgerton season 3, and my heart broke for Penelope when she asked Colin to kiss her. She had not felt genuine love from anyone in a long time. Her best friend had left her, her family belittled her at every opportunity, her father was dead, the Ton made fun of her and looked down on her, and Colin publicly said he would never court her. No one saw her as she wanted to be seen, a beautiful, intelligent, witty woman.
It feels like romantic love is impossible to have when familial love and platonic love are long gone or never felt. When no one sees you the way you wish, you were seen. Or are you discarded by others for someone better. It slowly breaks you down. It makes you feel unworthy of love and attention. Love feels like a pipe dream as you watch everyone else enjoy time with friends and family and find their loves while you're too scared to even act or look for anyone.
Can you even feel romantic love when all other loves have been denied? What does love even feel like? How can you know it's real? Trying to find love when you only see the worst version of yourself is near impossible. Because when the doubts you have about yourself constantly circle your thoughts, you will only believe them and can not accept that someone might think differently.
Maybe you're terrified of being that vulnerable with someone. Of letting yourself feel anything other than disappointment in yourself for not being more than you are, for not living up to the expectations that the people around you have placed on you. Maybe you've been hurt too much by people you thought you could trust, and they abused that trust and left you more hurt than you were before.
I've been through that. I've been hurt, abandoned, broken, and left lonely and isolated, and now I’m now too scared to open up and let anyone into my life. My family barely loved me, and the one person who did love me died when I was a kid. My friends didn't want me around that much because I was struggling to deal with my grief, my depression, and toxic home life they didn't know about, couldn't know about, didn't care to know about. That was my life for the past 16 and a half years. I don't know if it's possible for me to even feel real love of any kind. I can say the word, but I don't know if the meaning is even there. It just becomes a habit of saying it back when someone says it to me. I've never felt romantic love and doubt that anyone has ever felt it for me. I've dated before, a long time ago, and didn’t love them. I was in love with the idea of being with someone because I was alone. I thought it would make things better, but it didn't. I thought it would make me happier, but it didn't. It only made me more scared because I couldn't let myself be vulnerable with someone.
The thing is, I still hold out hope that one day someone might fall in love with me, and I might fall in love with them. It's a pipe dream, but I still want it. I still want to find love because even if it doesn't last, I'd rather know what it felt like for a time than to never have ever felt it. I'm just a long way off from accepting it right now.

my favorite fellow peeps who make themselves sick over the tragedy of the high cloud quintet and especially yingxing who became blade
I bring ya the Korean original musical Frankenstein (프랑켄슈타인) by Wang Yong-beom and Brandon Lee
It's loosely based on the Mary Shelley novel and actually goes almost balls to the wall off the rails unhinged plot-wise, but it does it so WELL and it's made me absolutely insane over the past three days or so and I didn't even like the novel so you know it's good
I'm not fluent in Korean (though I do understand a fair amount) but the songs slap so fucking hard (y'all music truly needs no translation for its emotions to be felt)
And for those songs that do have translations on YouTube,
GOD
WOW
basically, for the uninitiated to either piece of media,
disaster gay(s) decides resurrecting someone they loved from the dead is a good idea and ofc that goes horribly wrong for them and ruins their life and kills/destroys everyone they held dear and changes them irreversibly and they become everything they feared :)
------------
A few songs + English subtitles to get you started (23:16):
------------
Also it's actually being performed rn in Korea since this is the 10th anniversary of the musical
So a couple of the main actors were interviewed recently by an entertainment show and they got to each perform a song from the show (linked below) (no subtitles unfortunately, but there are other videos of these songs on YouTube by other people that DO have subtitles) (I just thought these were best visual + audio quality)
The Great History of the Creation of Life Begins by Shin Sung-rok (위대한 생명창조의 역사가 시작된다 by 신성록) (5:30)
Victor Frankenstein sings abt defying God and shit while creating his creature/monster from his dead (boy)friend
BANGER ass set & special effects
I am the monster by Park Eun-tae (난 괴물 by 박은태) (6:18)
About the monster's loneliness and longing to be loved but even his body is not his own and he's been rejected by his own creator :(
Also THE Park Eun-tae's vocals and acting (worth a watch for that alone)
TW for fake blood & stitches just in case

He walked straight into the lions den and now he's paying for it. Walked in under prepared, and so caught up in his own plans that he neglected to account for how dangerous a place it would be he'd find himself. He should of listened to Arcade. He should of avoided all contact with the legion. Yet here he stands in the tent of Caesar staring down the man who once shot him in the head. Ordered to choose this mans fate. Disparaged for a lack of blood lust when he'd proposed freeing him.
The concealed 22. in his coat feels like it's weighing him down. The 'machete' that's more lawnmower blade that's in his hand- ill-fitting for a physician. He's running through his options. He doesn't want to kill Benny, but... two attack dogs. Five praetorians. Caesar himself. Two other high ranking legion officers... Another guard, another dog, both waiting outside with his friend and robot.
He feels ill. He's overheating. The ground is uneven. Every imperfection of the wrappings around the machete dig into his hand. There is no winning a fight here.
'Close your eyes if you want to.' 'Make it clean.' 'I shall.'
Despite his best efforts - It takes 16 strikes.
16 strikes. Followers coat now drenched in blood. He looks back to Caesar and wonders whether he looks as bloodthirsty as he was asked to be, or simply as terrified as he feels.
