All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

A departure from my usual stuff but I read this poem and I couldn't stop thinking about our complex relationship with computers and machines so I had to make something about it.

[sheepstiel]

sometimes it hits me how many cool writers and artists are in this fandom and how lucky we are to have them here

Lambing Season

little poem written on a train yesterday, about the changing springs of late <3

transcript below cut!

Lambing Season

It is lambing season.

Out between the flood plains, swollen with spring water, 

the babies on their flimsy legs stagger 

through their short green days.

It has been a warm, wet winter

and it will be a warm, dry year.

Everything warm, everything wrong

and the fields weave in and out of each other 

along the horizon from the train window.

The bridges have flooded too.

Last night, the extra hour unfurled out towards me 

surprised even at itself,

at all the time promised to us

and the blueness of the sky between the grey 

grey clouds coming in to harbour.

The lambs didn't notice, of course,

they are just learning how to walk.

I'm here to beg everyone to watch this masterpiece, and then watch everything this creator edited.

Arcane | A Visual Poem

There is blood down in the river Blood on knuckles; sister’s teeth A clash at hand of Pink and Blue A war of Gold and Green The greed is thick as smoke in pipes The air is smogged and sour Forget me not, inhuman eye Inject me on the hour The greed in wisps as clouds in sky Permeable as power Forgive me not, inhuman beasts In sacred blimp or tower The Pink: unleashed in every vein Fist tight and open palm The Blue: unstable Rubik’s cube A child’s atom bomb But hold me now, in all I am Remembered as I was Forgiven now, in chaos: We. Because. Because. Because. But not forgotten, years Arcane And not forgiven, she In arms besides the one who left One choice, five chairs, two pleas The madness and the gleam of peace The magic, human-made The orange moon, the rocket path The perfect world repaid.

A broken heart is all that's left I'm still fixing all the cracks Lost a couple of pieces when I carried it, carried it, carried it home I'm afraid of all I am My mind feels like a foreign land Silence ringing inside my head Please carry me, carry me, carry me home I've spent all of the love I saved We were always a losing game Small town boy in a big arcade I got addicted to a losing game

A Distância

Quase 3h de viagem. 500km distância. É isso que está me impedindo de te pegar em meus braços e te beijar avidamente sem parar. Até te deixar sem fôlego.

If I was born as a blackthorn tree

I'd wanna be felled by you, held by you

Fuel the pyre of your enemies

- from NFWMB by Hozier

this song has me in a chokehold ngl

Do you want to discover all sorts of things...

[cherryblossomshadow]

you like it and it's unfamiliar, and then suddenly it's familiar too and you love it (comment courtesy of @earhartsease)

.

as you get used to a sound, it get's easier to process, and the easier-to-process a stimuli is, the more you like it (processing fluency hypothesis) (comment courtesy of @detectivejenko)

.

My logic's always been that it takes time for me to process all the different sounds (and the lyrics if the song has any), once I've done that I can appreciate them as a whole, if not they sound a bit jumbled (comment courtesy of @coffee-addict-kitten)

.

Your brain learns just enough of the patterns to get a feel for the song overall, so it starts to appreciate the deeper parts of the music that aren't as obvious upon first listen. You'll notice that it works in the opposite way for super catchy music. (comment courtesy of @despondent-beauty)

.

The mere exposure effect also works on people - this is why you are more likely to be friends with the people you hang out with every day, be it coworkers or high school classmates etc (comment courtesy of @selkienight60)

.

its because you found a character to imagine an AMV to it with (comment courtesy of @orchuris)

.

Listen 1-2: gaging the overall vibes, possibly assessing the band's overall style if its your first time listening to that band, or judging its vibes compared to other songs from the band if they are familiar to you.

Listens 3-5: pouring over the lyrics for narrative substance, trying to decide of you morally agree with the song's messages. Also checking for how well the instrumentation supports the themes of the song, and if the pacing of the rhythm and melody either matches or contrasts that messaging enough to make a meaningful harmony between the two.

Listen 6: recontextualizing the song for how you want to listen to it in the future; if you were to put that song on a Playlist, would it be a "chill study" or a "hard-core party" mix? Often the reason why we don't vibe with a song on initial listening is because we simply heard it in a time or a place where it didn't match the energy you were hoping a certain, different type of music would bring.

Listen 7: True enjoyment. You know the melody, the meaning behind the lyrics, and you have made a conscious choice to play it in a setting that compliments those elements . It was always a good song, but now you have unlocked its full potential (comment courtesy of @enby-denby)

the idea of music growing on you is so weird. what's going on in your brain that makes it go "mmmmm :/" for the first 6 listens and then "ok!! ❤️" on the 7th

In the spirit of Making Things as a form of healing, whether through stories or art, or memes that make us laugh, I present to you:

✨ Electric Boogaloo: a destiel event ✨

This event welcomes any type of fan content: fic, art, amvs, poetry, memes, edits, web weaves,… silly or earnest, whatever works for you!

Obviously, given we’re celebrating the latam dub, this event focuses on destiel. You could use this opportunity to use a Spanish song, lyrics, or whatever else for your creations, but don’t worry, this is not a requirement.

The main theme is of course reciprocation but if you need more inspiration, here are some prompts you can use:

bisexual lighting

darkness before the dawn

gentle touch

tacos for two

whispered conversations

🌈 this is a low-effort friendly event. we're all going through a weird time right now. fandom is an escape and should be something joyful. it's not work, i'm not your boss. go have fun!

🌈 given the theme of this event, the focus is destiel, but definitely feel free to include other characters in your work. this goes without saying i think, but this event is not inc*st-friendly

🚫 Obviously, AI is not allowed

Please use the tag #boogaloo25 (and feel free to tag me) so i don't miss your post!

Note: there are no restrictions on anything ns*fw. I trust everyone to use their own discretion both in creations and in who you reblog things from. Try to respect other people's "minors dni" where relevant.

This Meghan Fitzmartin quote is what I keep thinking of when I think about why seeing Dean's explicit reciprocation is so important to us:

hope any of this inspires you! i'm excited to see what you come up with. happy creating and happy celebrating of one of fandom's wildest broken destiel seals ❤️ see you all on nov 25th, 2024!
