The irony is that all of these are on my lists of comfort shows...🙃

Do you know this queer character?

Castiel is Queer and Agender or Genderfluid, and uses varying pronouns based on presentation!

If any one of my posts is to break containment, make it this one.

Before January 2025, download your favorite fics, especially those with smut or queer content.

If Project 2025 goes into effect (which it very likely will now that we have three red branches of government in the US), they may attempt to restrict the use/sharing of media on sites like ao3.

This particularly applies to fics with smut or any type of queer content, because the official Project 2025 document states, "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance... has no claim to First Amendment protection... Pornography should be outlawed."

Now, I don't expect ao3 to disappear or go anywhere without a fight, but it's best to be on the safe side these days.

To download your favorite fics:

Go to archiveofourown.org and open the fic you want to download.

At the top right corner, to the right of the 'subscribe' button, is a button that says 'download'. Click it.

A drop-down menu will give you the option to choose the format of your download. Choose your preferred format (.epub and .pdf are my personal favorites -- .epub lets you open a fic in the apple books app and .pdf is compatible with like every device and program out there).

When you click the button for your preferred format, a pop-up window appears confirming your choices. The title of the document will default to the title of the fic, so be aware of that and consider changing conspicuous titles to something ignorable, especially if you share the computer.

You're done! Now do this with all your favorite fics!

Stay safe out there, your favorite characters are rooting for you <3

there is something to be said about the fact that it's now been more than 4 years since supernatural ended and we are still not safe from misha collins. every day we live in fear

[thenightisland]

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist

[leoisalright]

this took me 13 hours and i almost lost my mind but it was worth it for cas <3

[mylittleredgirl]

even if you're not a supernatural fan, if you've been on tumblr long enough you are, like, culturally. like cultural christianity in america except it's the cw's supernatural. you may never have watched an episode or set foot inside the tag but your regular life shuts down on their holidays and all of your world news is delivered through that point of view. something to think about

[strawlessandbraless]

Misha admitting he played Cas in love with Dean since season 14 but this is how the Angel looked at his charge in season 8:

You just know this is one of the Still beautiful, still Dean Winchester moments

[bob-soup]

I truly love how tumblr has kept parading the corpse of the supernatural fandom around as a way to share world news. it's like the town yeller using the court jester's bones to get attention when yelling the news

[adeptune01]

When Amara said “I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except, it’s cloaked in shame.” And later we find out Dean was never in love with her…yeah so what does that mean exactly

[watcher0033]

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

[heliotrope155]

Cas would have a fucking aneurysm if he knew all the gay shit Dean gets up to specifically when he's not there. "Thirsting over Dr.Sexy? What's this about riding a mechanical bull? Your siren was a man?? Why is Sam telling me about how gleeful you were about our friendship under amnesia? You tried dying when I wasn't here (followed by: wait till I fucking kill you)?? Who was your gay thing Dean and will there be another? You told a murderous alter ego Zachariah cooked up a story about pink panties but not me? Orgies?! You helped Charlie flirt with a man, help me please, I need to flirt with a man too."
