#me finishing a giffing meme? unrealistic.

[crackheadcastiel]

im watching the prequel after I finish my spn rewatch in like idk 2 weeks maybe but By God is it entertaining to watch it all unfold through memes and gifs exclusively like it's made me go from hating jackles with the power of a hundred suns to actually trusting him to (somehow) deliver something that will make that fiasco of a finale better

my clown shoes are firmly in place my clown make up never came off it's going canon again in the season finale and i will fight anyone who dares to stop my delusions

He gives to the courage to gaslight myself into believe anything my brain could even come up with, because no matter what it is, it will never be more unhinged or more unrealistic than whatever his next move is and I love that about him 🤣

ship history meme

Embrace your past and get to know your friends’ fandom origins!

Rules: Post gifs of your fandoms / ships starting with your most current hyperfixation and work backwards. (Bonus points if you share any stories about how or when you got into that ship! But not necessary!!) Then tag anyone whose fandom history you’d like to learn about!

Tagged by the most gorgeous, smartest, sweetest, and kindest person in my life @sightetsound​ <3 Sorry y’all, I have a lot of hyperfixations and I’m on NyQuil!

1. Katsuki Bakugo and Eijiro Kirishima, My Hero Academia - I literally can’t watch Season 4 until it’s finished because my heart will Explode if I’m left on a cliffhanger involving these too!!! (Unbreakable T.T <3) I don’t usually like animes but I fell in love with his trash bastard and his soft rock boyfriend by the villain’s attack in S1. It all started when I got a TikTok because a Very Hot Bakugo cosplayer was on there. (Literally, their rendition of Bakugo is just, umph. They have appeared in my dream.). As she got more popular he started cosplaying more of Class 1-A of MHA, and I kept wondering?? What the fuck is this anime about?? Why is there an alien girl?? I soon gave in and watched the show to gain context to this thirst trap. I have so many feels for these boys, even though I don’t post on them much here, and T.T

2. Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane, Shadowhunters - I literally almost wrote my thesis because of this ship. I got into Shadowhunters because I was depressed in a foreign, racist country where I couldn’t go outside alone because old white men would corner me on the street, and everyone was talking about how Mike from Glee was kissing a guy at a wedding? Instead of partying during my study abroad trip, I gobbled down Malec content. And like who wouldn’t?? Harry Shum Jr. was playing a bisexual warlock?? And he had lines and a main character role??? An interracial couple where the characters are both POC?? Sign me up! But then I quickly fell in love with awkward gayby Alec and immediately knew how it felt to be in his shoes. (Disclaimer: I still haven’t finished the show because I don’t want their story to end, but just seeing their wedding scene????? Tears!!!!!!!!!! Both wedding scenes! I-) I just love how soft they look at each as they realize how lucky they are to be able to fall in love against the odds. T.T They deserve the world and all the warlock and shadowhunter babies and T.T This is just going to devolve into me crying so-

3. Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale, Teen Wolf - I got into Teen Wolf to escape the hellfire that had become the Glee fandom around S3-S4. (Tbh it might have been Dereklei’s constant Sterek content on my dash that led me to give in.) Stiles was bi (through subtext) and definitely turned on by an older werewolf. What more could a depressed Gleek ask for? And listen - now looking back, Sterek is definitely gay Twilight - if Bella was snarkier, had a mental illness, and also a personality. Sterek was the ship to get me back into writing fanfiction and where I could read paranormal characters working through PTSD, ADHD, and other mental illnesses while fighting monsters and having unrealistic sex! I also love those future fics where Beacon Hills isn’t a Hellmouth anymore, and everyone’s alive and just living as one big found family. Truly, Derek deserves the world and I love him so much, and Stiles definitely agrees.

4. Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, One Direction - If it’s a surprise that I’m a dark larrie, please read my bio. HL made me believe that love is real and exists and can last for years. I got into One Direction in 2011 through a Lilo fanfic, but as soon as I watched the Video Diaries,,,we knew. Louis has saved my life in ways I can’t describe and the songs that they’ve written for each other through their tough times are so inspiring to listen and dance to. Seeing how they’ve been dragged apart by management, Sony Entertainment, and the whole music industry as a whole even though they exist in glass closets is very disheartening to see. But their resilience that they show through their art (Only the Brave, Sweet Creature, If I Could Fly, and like so many others) is always there. If you want to fall in this rabbit hole, look at freddieismyqueen on YT and come inside lol. Larry is real.

5. Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson, Glee - the ship that got me on Tumblr! I didn’t start watching Glee until the summer before S2 came out. My whole choir was into it and I didn’t want to be “mainstream”, but Kurt was the first openly gay teen character that I saw on TV. When I heard a character played by Darren Criss, a musical theater YT legend from AVPM, I had to watch it. I ended up binging the first season with those Netflix DVDs during summer break (yeah remember when Netflix wasn’t streaming? lol). I watched every episode of that god-forsaken show the night of (or night after illegally, hidden from my parents) for that ship, and then me and my best friend would rant about it for the whole week: rinse and repeat. The episode they got together made me scream and I definitely put those Glee Rewind songs in my iPhone. (Fun fact: I used to cry at night because I wished someone like Kurt could love me like that because I heavily related to Blaine and his whole situation). I naturally stopped watching Glee the moment they broke them up and I’m still mad at their hasty attempt to marry them out of nowhere with no well-written getting together / make-up arc other than Jigsaw?? and a barn wedding?? As if Hummel would. What a trash fire. But dang, Glee fanfics have some of the dirtiest, kinkiest, forbidden fics out there. If you were ever on Glee_Kink_Meme on LJ, you know.

6. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter - the ship that started it all, the big kahuna, the ultimate enemies to lovers for 90s kids. Drarry got me into the fandom world in middle school, where I basically lived on FFN and LJ while pretending to do my homework. I used to get ready every day by watching the same playlist of “The best Harry Potter videos on Youtube!” (curated by Ariel333Lindt, who was the only queer person I knew but lived in Eastern Europe, where I could see two gay people kiss and fall in love in the safety of my room through badly photoshopped videos. Please check out that playlist). I just love how each fic is a microcosm where they have to construct how magical systems work, the backstories of pureblood families, creatures, or just wizarding culture for the end goal of having Drarry fuck and fall in love! I love redemption arcs that take 200k to achieve, I love dark!Harry takes, and every single different damn take on Narcissa, Pansy, and Millicent - because deep down that’s the writer trying to come to turns on whether or not Draco should be redeemed to get together with Harry. (I mean we all know they’re obsessed with each other, book 6 anyone?) I feel like Drarry fics have the best worldbuilding and characterizations of these characters, and I just love those moments when Draco and Harry take a moment to take a breath together and realize how far they’ve come. No one else can understand how it felt to be the pariah or the chosen one, they both interacted with Voldemort the most, and they have the most history together. They should have gotten together! But I mean the author’s dead, am I right?

So that was a lot! Those are all the ships that impacted me that I still participate with. They have shaped me for better or worse, and have made me learn more about who I am and what I want (or don’t want) in a relationship. This was the most fun essay I’ve ever written on NyQuil!

I’m tagging @homosociallyyours​ because I really want to know your fandom story! Also @stozierbrak​ because I love you and must hear you gush about your boys. I’m also tagging @iamaqualady​ because you’re literally the most intriguing person I know and I’m glad we’re friends even though we haven’t interacted that much? ish?

The honest thoughts I have while roleplaying under read more cause longish sorry:

-Okay cool they replied that’s awesome-and how the fuck do I reply my writing partners are pros  -I’ve been typing and retyping this sentence for ages on this one reply-others might have built up by now-and the gif looks wrong need an better gif -What do people actually think *cue lots of alike questions* -I adore everybody so much for real  -WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE ANON LIKE I CANT SEND YOU THINGS WITHOUT IT UGH then again I rarely send things soooo -shrug-

-Okay I’m not jealous but also tbh all the other Alec rpers are so much better so I’m content with not always being first pick or anything admire the other’s so I’m all good. Mean have you seen the ones who send memes,are main blogs,and talented they’re like wow! and I’m like *deadpan* that sounds fun -Cheat codes are needed and nothing short of trying to befriend people,and likely failing will earn resources *game lingo see this is my issue* possibly accomplish something -I’ll reblog this meme while Alec laughs because ‘you’re like Jace thinking you are hot and then a Maia appears and is like *spits in your drink*’  -I feel bad that we’re dragging this thread out but you won’t say anything and I won’t yet nobody will call it finished either SEND HELP -Dropped an thread and I feel like the WORST plz forgive me I swear I adore you but Alec’s an jerk,and I’m incompetent 

-I typed you something you asked for and suck at keeping track of time it’s been 2 weeks you never replied but it’s okay  -Did they see I answered that ask because you know I get so few it’s not that hard to notice when I answer  -You liked the thing,reblogged it but I’ll still just go ‘nah I’m beneath them’ and just nod -Look at all those sweet friendships and ‘I’m sick’ posts that get loving replies and stuff *is so damaged and thinks that it’s so unrealistic at least for me*/could be deathly ill and wouldn’t say so -I’ve been roleplaying how long and feel like that kid who in an assembly at school would rather be reading cause there’s no whispering friends,or odds I would get to participate and seem like an rookie/newbie *somehow was the source for new rpers at one point like gave great pointers*

-The struggles of being a sideblog I wanna send you off anon url attached asks,reply to posts,like starter calls and such but I’ve made so many main accounts,emails,and tend to forget them -Each follower is precious and appreciated rper,somebody who just likes reading things,and long as nobody reblogs what they shouldn’t,aren’t bots they are welcome -I’m terrified to talk to this personal blog that reblogged that rp what if it goes bad,I’ve had it happen,how do I even mention it when I can’t even send hello to an FRIEND *person is super cool,understanding deletes it* YOU MADE MY DAY SHHH ITS OKAY I’m not mad you were so mature about it and just thanks so very much

(And lots others to conclude I’m shy,awkward,moody adore everybody-would direct you at other Alec’s don’t get jealous if I’m not first pick,understand replies can take time,threads might drop,etc. Understand you get an variety from rping with multiples which is cool each writer’s different for example no two Alec writers/Alec’s will be exactly the same even if they write so close to canon,etc.)

the chocobros as famous vloggers who all have their separate channels but come together to watch terrible scary movies

noctis is the son of some famous ceo somewhere but he’s most well known for his ability to fall asleep no matter what is happening or how loud everyone is being. chainsaws? screaming? doesn’t matter. it’s nap time. gladio and prompto are constantly trying to wake him up to no avail. ignis lets him be.

ignis is super well known for either a. his cooking channel or b. his ability to remain unfazed by anything. he’s most well known for a 30 second clip where he was dead silent watching some movie character get terribly murdered on screen and then blurted, “I’VE COME UP WITH A NEW RECIPE!” right at the climax of the scene. it was the only thing that woke noctis up for the whole 2 hour movie. it became a meme.

prompto gets scared before the movie even starts. “the trailers aren’t even finished yet.” “it’s the anticipation that gets me!” he has some pretty iconic quotes from when he gets super ultra scared and starts yelling at the tv, which is every two seconds often. gladio laughs at him. he clings to whoever is sitting closest. sometimes he has to be shushed because he talks over the dialogue.

gladio always comments that “this is so unrealistic” but then won’t tell the guys how how knows that when everyone asks. “that’s not the sound a bone makes when it snaps.” “how do you know.” “doesn’t matter, it’s unrealistic.” about once a movie he will leave to go to the “bathroom” or something and then sneak up on prompto sometime later. there are many gifs of this. he tried scaring ignis once but it didn’t work.
