#they want what we have (critical thinking+analytical skills and enjoyment) so bad fr. if they really didn't care they'd let it be#gotten a lot of mileage out of it so I repeat: spn was poetry they couldn't read#when it feels like too much I'll remember everything that's happened to us happened to Star Trek first. we'll prevail too#wank adjacent
