Not all who wander are lost. Some who wander, however, are extremely, extremely lost.

Lawlight likers may be an insufferable presence in the fandom to other kinds of Death Note heads, but be serious, how much of the longevity of the fandom do you think this ship is actually responsible for?

honestly the more i skim the surface into the beat generation writers, the more i become astounded that Supernatural was EVER considered to have been intended for a straight audience

let me back up

Kripke, creator of Supernatural, has cited Jack Kerouac's On The Road as a major inspiration for the show. Dean Winchester was named for Dean Moriarty, and Sam was inspired by Sal.

The general premise of the novel is, at first glace, a story about two men roadtripping around 1940s america. (supernatural: the show about two guys roadtripping around america hunting monsters)

But the novel was ACTUALLY a roman à clef based on Keroac's own experiences with his friends, the Beatnik generation writers. The novel's main character Sal is Jack himself, Dean Moriarty is Neal Cassady, and a side character Carlo Marx is their friend Allen Ginsberg.

Allen Ginsberg, who, notably, had a sexual relationship with Neal Cassady and who published a poem extremely famous for being censored for its depictions of homosexuality: Howl.

So once you scratch the surface of Supernatural's "major inspiration", there's easy ties of gayness to Dean Winchester. Just like that. Dean's namesake is the stand-in character for a guy who fucked the guy who wrote one of the most famous queer poems of all time.

I think we all like to think of supernatural as this show that started as For The Guys that we as an audience turned gay by shipping two characters too hard. but i think that the gay undertones were ALWAYS there, whether intentional or not. we just uncovered them, brought them to light, celebrated them.

if that isn't a beautiful metaphor for queer self-discovery then idk what is

:) N’ephele gives G’raha a flower before he goes to sleep. G’raha plants / propagates it to remember him. By the time N’eph makes it to the First the Crystarium is absolutely covered in them.

He cross pollinated with, like, Il Mheg flowers to vary the color so it’s less suspicious, but he keeps the original plant in his office.

For aesthetic reasons I pick rhododendrons because 1) I love big ass flowers 2) they make huge bushes that don’t stop growing, some hundreds of years old the size of small trees 3) they’d fit right in in Lakeland.

If propagating an entire plant from one bunch of flowers is unrealistic… Allagan technology beam. The tower has already proven cloning technology, it can manage a flower.

We found an amazing place to camp on the first leg of TET Norway. This is a municipal campsite, free to visit. Our plan had been to drive further, but we stopped when we saw how well-equipped this place was, and spent an afternoon mucking about in our packraft with Max.

Do y'all think object heads have a peculiar vision? Well I certainly do!

If DJSS is actually a supernova then assumption probably brings with it the idea they were a star, and being a star where it sends light in every direction and vision is directly correlated to light, what if that means omnidirectional vision?
