I know for a fact I've talked about the golden records, but I don't care because here is a sample of some of my favourite greetings on those discs

There is something so vulnerable, precious, and human about sending up pieces of our hearts into space. Even when we know that there may not be anybody out there to hear us, we are still whispering to whomever might listen how much we love them, how much we want to connect. No matter how small the chance is, we're taking it to say that love is real, that we are real.

How is that not something to be in awe over?

Part of me's annoyed that 8R8K didn't use a track from beyond canon (every single track of it slaps btw go listen) and instead used an 8 year old track from before even the epilogues, especially since aggrievocagion's short length probably contributed to the rushed pace of the flash, but I get that none of beyond canon really had the energy they wanted, and also vol 10 came out after homestuck ended so it basically is beyond canon anywayyyy

It was a heartbreaking site. Cas was sitting on the ground outside Jack's door. On the other side, you could hear the muffled sobs and cries.

Armed with two beers, Dean sat down next to him, offering one out. Cas took it but there was no doubt he wouldn't drink it.

Dean cleared his throat. "He gonna be okay?" he felt obligated to ask.

"I don't know." Cas answered. If Dean didn't know better, he would think Cas had also been crying. "Dean, I am so sorry for what happened. All of it. But my son is hurting right now and I don't know how to help him."

Dean felt for his friend, having been in a similar situation himself before. "Yeah... That tends to happen when you get your soul back."

Is it too early to use this?

I'm a many-many-generations-Appalachian, and when I was a teenager, everyone assumed I'd leave, so I thought I should. And then when I did leave, someone called my mama and told her I was the most homesick child they'd seen in decades, that she should come get me. She didn't, because she wanted me to succeed that badly, but I got myself back to Appalachia PDQ. And then I never left again, because Appalachia is where I belong.

I know the stereotypes, but we can be happy here, too. I've got a good life, with a well-paying job I love, a silver anniversary spouse, wonderful children, and a nice house. My mama lives with us and that's just how we like it. Our quietly queer little family is proud to be Appalachian, and our children learn our history, like the recorded story from their great-grandfather who saw the Baldwin-Felts get off the train in Matewan.

Are there problems in Appalachia? Sure. But that doesn't mean we are all living in misery. Appalachian lives are more than poverty porn and strip mines and drugs and Dew mouth. We have our own festivals and music and art and foods and books to celebrate our shared heritage. We have our own holidays, too, like the first day of deer season. There can be a lot of joy in our Appalachian lives, if we let it.

And of course, we can all join together to remind folks that #heaintfromaroundhere ;)

All that clowning we did paid off. We aren't delusional anymore like it's happening and even Kathryn is shocked by it

keep thinking about this page, particularly in conjunction with this post discussing ciel's use of his three wishes when originally creating the guidelines for their contract. to quote:

I love that Ciel gets three wishes from Sebastian and he used them all to make Sebastian into someone he can trust: never lie to him, always follow his orders, protect him and never betray him. He’s a traumatized child with self esteem issues and trust issues, so perhaps it’s only to be expected—but I think that if it had been anyone else; for example if r!Ciel was the one who survived, he might not have necessarily asked for something like these.

the question of Trust when it comes to o!ciel, and specifically who he feels that he can trust following the incredible violation of his faith that occurs throughout his time in the cult, is interesting enough as is-- but especially so when it comes to the topic of his relationship with sebastian specifically.

to state this more directly: i don't think these two points at all contradict one another. ciel isn't lying here when he says that sebastian is the one he can trust the least-- that is exactly why he felt the need to use his wishes to make sebastian any degree of trustworthy in the first place.

you could almost say that what ciel actually trusts has hardly anything to do with sebastian himself, but instead o!ciel's own ability to control him. that's essentially the gamble he's staking his life on-- that sebastian will respect the guidelines of their contract just long enough for o!ciel to enact his revenge the way that he wants to.

the fact that he takes the Earl Ciel Phantomhive name in the process of all this can't be ignored either. ultimately, the one thing that o!ciel can still put his faith in is that of Ciel-- the one person who was always on his side, always supporting him and pulling him along, and never betrayed him.

initially, anyway. clearly, by now, the title has grown to encompass more than the body or memories of the individual it was originally tied to-- the significance is in the Title, the Idea, the spirit and memory and grief entrusted within it. the soul, even? though perhaps that's pushing it a little too much. r!ciel is never coming back, and no recreation, no matter how accurate, could ever truly be him. death is final, and absolute-- it must be.

point is, the trust issues run deep, for obvious reasons. still, i think o!ciel definitely does trust sebastian to some degree-- probably more than he cares to, considering how reliant he is on him and how they've been mutually twisting into something more and more codependent as the years go on, but still. he made this contract at his lowest point, when his trust and faith in Anything was at an all time low-- but o!ciel isn't locked in a cage anymore. which will it be, to win out in the end? conscious, logical aversion to the indescribably powerful being you've sold yourself to? or the incredible force of habit, sinking you back into the comfortable routine of master and servant, give and take?

frankly, in the case of o!ciel this is a pretty fucking obvious answer to me-- he has never once demonstrated himself to give up so easily, and especially not when he has already commit himself so far, to a goal so clear and distinct. on the other side, in the case of sebastian, though... i suppose we'll just have to see how much that demonic hunger tempers whatever sympathy he can scrounge up for the human that entertains him the most.
