Sp happy to find your blog, it's fantastic!

Thank you! I am happy that you're happy!

Did you have a tags page with all your neat otp names on it? I don't seem to be able to find it!

Sadly, no. Many years ago, I did used to have a tags page but it stopped working, so I deleted it.

Do you ship Destiel

Yes. I've also read enough to know that if I ever say "yeah, I ship it," it means I'm just going with the flow, not doing any sort of deep thought about it -- which is true enough -- but what I mean is that I enjoy seeing their relationship develop and watching it mature.

I love all your gifs! They're so gorgeous and remind me of all the great shows that got uh shafted. And the xf stuff is great too!

thanks, i love sharing my obsessions with others!

9 people you want to know better!

Thanks for the tag @lonelylonelyghost 😚

Three ships: oh god anyone who knows me already know this but: zhoudu (mo du/justice in the dark), chengyi (under the skin) and pingxie (dmbj), i feel so obvious and simplistic and tacky—

First ship: this will tell you how old i am, but batman/catwoman from the 1966 series; also robin hood/maid marian from the 1973 disney movie, which was the first movie i ever saw. later and for most of my life it was kirk and spock, even though i didn't know what that meant.

Last song: all weekend i was hung up on "emily i'm sorry" by boygenius but also i had a dive back into "suburban legends" (from 1989) and billie eilish: "the greatest," "skinny," and most of all: "chihiro" with which i'm obsessed, i want to make a hundred edits with it. (i want to make edits all the time but it's just so time consuming...)

Last movie: probably one i taught in the spring semester? we ended with everything everywhere all at once, which the students loved. i haven't really watched movies this summer. but my bff and i are going to see shichinen no samurai on a big screen at the art museum this weekend and I AM BESIDE MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT.

Currently reading: ten danmei at once (case file compendium and little mushroom, also qjj and spl and erha as each book comes out) but then i got distracted by an accidental mo du reread, waylaid when i went into the pdf just to search for a quote and whoops now it's three days later and i'm nearly finished with book 4, and also wrote a ten-page meta last night that i don't know what to do with? how did this happen to me? why does this novel GET TO ME?

Currently watching: i stalled out like halfway through kinnporsche for no clear reason other than that they're happy and it's kind of a nice place to stop? because i'm pretty sure all holy hell is about to break loose and the thai mob is going to try to crush their young love. but look, here they are being happy boyfriends! a nice place to end it.

idk i keep bouncing off dramas but i really want to watch killer and healer, the chinese hikaru no go, and finish the spirealm. my MDL watchlist literally has 70 things on it, it's so tragic T_T

Currently eating: a square of dark chocolate with iced coffee, but i should go make lunch, i just don't want to cook anything, it's hot

Currently craving: another extra month before the fall semester starts in two weeks and i have to teach. can i just have july back pls

Amy Amy it's driving me crazy there is a finished Black Widow movie out there that maybe looked pretty good! that I have been waiting OVER TEN YEARS for, and it's DONE and *I can't see it* -- it's just in a vault or something....

The one thing I am appreciating is that we’re getting a slow roll-out of merch.

Or, well, that’s not true. I’m very impatient to get more canon, and to have something that’s actually about NATASHA be real and exist outside my head, and have new things to analyze every moment of.

But at the same time, I am kind of okay living in this in-between space right now. I can be reasonable enough to acknowledge that the canon we get is not going to be exactly what’s in my head, and I’m going to have to decide what I have to throw out from what I believe and what I’m going to play with in canon to find an angle where it works for me. Right now I don’t have to justify anything that happens to make it fit with the headcanons I have devoted ten years to developing, and I am forcing myself to appreciate that right now.

Such a great hat in a great movie

theredshoes replied to your post “Maybe I shouldn’t focus on this negative stuff so much, but then, I...”

L was so great and they did her so wrong

The writers had some BTS issues they were struggling with, but I do think they really tried - just having such a range of women at all is really trying - and the actors certainly really put their all into performing the material.

The writing certainly went places where I think it could have been much better, but what other show even bothers to let a female character like L’Rell exist at all? :-/

For me, the real sin lies with fandom and the sub-set of people who think it’s okay to say mean things to an actor for a job she’s doing. It’s work, she doesn’t have creative control? FFS.

LOL I am never sure if I am doing Tumblr messaging right. But yes online life is often SO confusing!

You did it right! :D I was just elsewhere. But yeah, I got it!

(And yes. Yes it is.)

About "The Red Shoes"

Edgar Allan Poe: YOU CUT HER ANKLES OFF?!

Hans Christian Andersen: Yes. It's part of the story.

Edgar Allan Poe: But you...YOU CUT HER ANKLES OFF!!

Hans Christian Andersen: Well that's what happens when you're vain. Besides she was warned not to wear them.

Edgar Allan Poe:...
