tbh I just don't want dean winchester to be happy I don't want tenderness to solve him and I don't want him to settle down with a dog and a soulmate. I want him to be a miserable nomad in that damn car forever building his own cage and every so often lifting his head and being like wtf who built this cage before he gets back to building. this guy is awful. also he is profoundly unstable. his world is governed by twisted impenetrable dream logic based on cartoons and cowboy movies. he's violent and scary and tragic and I love him so so much. every time he does something controlling or self righteous or manipulative I clap and cheer so so loud.

Still a huge fan of the way Sweet Enchantments took the concept of humans being spirited away by the fae, never to be seen again, and said "That does happen, but the thing that traps you isn't eating the food, it's callous bureacracy."

Whatever you do, don't cross over into the world of the fae folk. That's a breach of s 34(2)(b) of the Magic Secrecy Act and you'll have to wait 2-12 months before a likely moderately bigoted clerk bothers to file the correct paperwork so you can go home, it's such a pain in the ass.

I was looking back through runa's tag on tumblr and it's actually comical how much of my "shit I would spend the next five years unpacking in therapy" I put into her route. A lot of stuff around being afraid of anger, a lot of stuff about anger and a destructive and a liberatory force, a lot of stuff about the way that self-hatred can ruin your life by making you lash out at other people, a lot of stuff about how toxic the fear of vulnerability is. Like I look at these screenshots and I just have to laugh. Legitimately hilarious how on-the-nose it is and how unconscious that was at the time.

And like, I'm never gonna stop wishing that more of this had been planned, that the production team had had a clear idea of what runa's story would be from the start, rather than stumbling into this issue without recognising how much it would antagonise readers and then scrambling to fix it. But if I could go back in time I wouldn't change the core of her story, I'd just tweak the details so it hit better faster. Because there's something so fascinating to me about the way that giving runa these huge, catastrophic missteps in her life and then getting to spend six seasons working through them and learning to evaluate herself more fairly, more generously, acts as a magnifier for very real feelings that a lot of people have dealt with.

It was so, so cathartic actually to take a charcater who really has done awful things and say "yes, she can learn and grow from them and she deserves not only to be loved by others but also to love herself". Like if she can do it, maybe any of us can.

And really what better production limitation for that story than to start from such a messy and chaotic accident of storytelling and to spend another five seasons picking at it and turning it over and examining it, and to get to somewhere good that I'm still really proud of.

Love you forever runa, you helped me work through some feelings and you definitely made me a better writer.

I was reading the Orphic Argonautica last night and the author has mentioned the various methods of divination Apollo knows and guess what? One of them is prophesying by studying the entrails of organisms. As soon as I read that I was reminded of your headcanon of Apollo being into hepatoscopy for divination and I giggled.

Awww 😳😳It's so nice of you to think of me!

Hehe, so fun fact, the overall practice of divination by studying the entrails of animals (including blood, lungs, intestines and so forth) is extispicy while hepatoscopy is specifically using the liver in prophecy and divination readings.

If, like magic in old text exactly like the sort Medea is described as using, the types of divination spoken about in the texts are reflections of the popular divination cultures of the time, I much rather prefer ascribing those to Apollo than I do some vague, somewhat mysterious power which he uses to see the will of the fates, especially since it's mentioned a few times that he'll teach his sons the language of the birds and how to read their signs and so on and so forth.

In short: HEPATOSCOPY APOLLO IS COOL!! HE'S SO NEAT!! Apollo at the altar who predicts the coming droughts and famines from the entrails of his flock!! It's just such a neat little image (to me)!

Also the Orphic Argonautica bangs, genuinely I hope you enjoy it! Orpheus is an insane man and I do not think him along with the collective subspecies of mythical man known as 'sons of Apollo' get enough credit for how truly unhinged they are at any given point in time.

I’m SORRY hugh dancy your character is a sweetheart BUT I hate what they did to my darling Char. Prince Charmont of Frell. a guy who comforted a weeping girl at her mother’s funeral even though he didn’t have to. a guy who bought her a centaur bc they had a sweet conversation about them one time. a guy who was so impressed and delighted by how clever and brave and funny Ella was at every turn. a guy who was able to capture a cohort of ogres BECAUSE of how ella managed to get them defenseless and asleep. a guy who admired her so much and wrote her so many letters and sent them all to Ella via the cook (Mandy) so it wouldn’t garner the interest of her step family. a guy who fell in love with Ella through almost a year’s worth of letters to each other, through her humor and her wit and her kindness and her insight and her cleverness. a guy who didn’t have any suspicions about her curse because he rarely ever ordered her to do anything despite being a prince. a guy who was up front about his own failings (loyal to a fault, difficulty forgiving after a betrayal) and loved Ella because of her flaws not in spite of them. that’s MY prince charmont.

“Isobel, I love you wholly. I love you eternally. I love you so dearly it frightens me. I fear I could not live without you. I could see your face every morning upon waking for ten thousand years and still look forward to the next as though it were the first.”
