Just FYI
This is a one time post we are making to be clear about something. We don't fuck with negativity and nasty comments, and we have both reached an age where we are not wasting our breath on defending or explaining anything we have written and posted for free on AO3 together.
If you leave a negative comment, a nasty comment, or basically use the comment section of one of our fics to bitch about what you did not like about the fic (why are you here? No one is forcing you to read), engagement stops there. You will be blocked and the comment will be removed.
Concrit on free fan works is a fallacy. Constructive criticism is part of a workshop process that happens BEFORE publication or posting, so all you are doing when you leave a rude comment on someone's work is writing a 1-star yelp review like the Karen you are.
Kindness costs nothing, and what's that old saying? If you don't have something nice to say… maybe grow the fuck up. Peace and love!
look at those eyes
This is just both tender and somewhat confrontational. Like, he's daring you.
"Celebrities standing up for Palestine are so brave."
Nah, not really. Following the crowd and doing exactly what everyone else is doing isn't bravery. Culturally appropriating a keffiyah and wearing pins calling to mind the lynching of Jews isn't bravery. Boycotting art and blacklisting artists for their nationality isn't bravery. Parroting blood libel and terrorist propaganda isn't bravery.
Bravery would have been for any of them to acknowledge, for even a second, the terror and the pain and the trauma of the victims of the atrocities of October 7 or along with their (obviously warranted) concern for Palestinian civilians, the suffering of the hostages for over 700 days and counting. Bravery would be for any of them to condemn the appalling rise of violent antisemitism in the guise of activism.
Bravery would be for any of them, in their calls for the rights of Palestinians to live peacefully, to acknowledge the rights of Israelis to have the same, instead of living under the threat of constant terror attacks and rocket fire. Bravery would be for a single one of them to stop and say "None of this is right and I won't participate."
Bravery isn't what I see. It's cowardice. It's hatred and ignorance disguised as concern.
There's a lot of posts going around right now begging fanfic readers to comment on the fics they read. Engagement is stressed as the bare minimum you should provide a fanfic author, so they know they are not posting into a void. "A simple heart emoji or I loved it will do," these posts stress. All the authors are looking for is a bit of attention in return for the hours, days, and weeks they spent writing the fic in the first place.
I'm grumpy about that.
I guess I like attention well enough. Who doesn't? A heart emoji at least pings that a real human person is trying to assure me of something, presumably that they liked my fic. Kudos are nice! They reassure me that all those hits aren't just bots crawling the site. That's nice.
But it doesn't really get at the reason I write fanfiction.
I write because I'm trying to have a conversation with you. If I just wanted to publish a story, I could do that in a lit mag. Hell, I could pursue traditional publishing. But I'm writing fanfiction. In a fandom. Where you are. Because I want to hang out with you!
I want to actually hear what you think about my characterization of our shared blorbo. I would genuinely love your opinion on the moment I picked to deviate from canon. I want to know whether you, too, think these two characters would have made an interesting couple. Do you think my jokes are funny? Do you think I'm making our special little guy suffer enough?
I'm not out here craving validation. I don't even look at my statistics page very often. I just want to talk to you!! So if you leave a comment that actually expresses your opinion or emotion, I'm over the moon. Because now I can respond. Now we can have a conversation! I hope we end up having to take it to Tumblr or Discord so we can talk more! I hope you and another commenter start talking to each other right there in my fic's comment section, and I hope you two also wind up having to move it elsewhere. I hope we wind up all participating in the same fandom event because we can't get enough of talking about this. I hope I get to know you well enough to write you a drabble for your birthday. I hope my idea gave you an idea and that you also write a fic.
I do see and appreciate everyone who leaves a heart emoji or an "I loved this." I want to be clear about that. You guys are wonderful and it cheers me up enormously to know that someone is out there, enjoying what I made for us. And I know not everyone wants to get involved to the degree I'm talking about.
But I also want to be clear that you can. Taht I want you to. It's not a social faux-pas. It's fandom. Fandom only exists in the spaces we make to share with each other.
The comment section of a fanfic is a community space. If you ever want to come over and play blorbos with me, I'd love to hang out.

This is just stunning. I love how much expression the artist has managed to capture in a side profile. It very much reads as Castiel, Angel of the Lord here.

Announcing Lebanon Fic Week!
In light of recent political events, @butch--dean & I have been talking a lot about the importance of fandom and transformative fanworks in building community and mutual aid.
We've worked in close collaboration on this project and have put our heads together to develop a short event at the end of December for the release of Ten Minutes from Home: Lebanon Coda.
I had planned to release the fic over the course of two weeks, but have condensed it down so that all of the chapters will be coming out between Christmas Eve and New Years, with the hope of adding some extra seasonal cheer to a fairly bleak time.
Lebanon Release Dates:
December 24th: Chapter 1 & 2
December 25th: Chapter 3 & 4
December 26th: Chapter 5 & 6
December 27th: Chapter 7
December 28th: Chapter 8
December 29th: Chapter 9
December 30th: Chapter 10
December 31st: Chapter 11 & Epilogue
On the days that each chapters release, I will be reblogging related content to @lebanon-wip with an optional tag to block if you don't want any spoilers (#lebanon fic spoilers). Anyone who wants to share related content is welcome to send it to me via ask or in DMs and I will share it! If you want to create original content, you can tag it with #10MFH (and/or send it directly to me). @butch--dean has pointed out that tags on re-blogs don't show up in the Tumblr search function (thank u taylor) so reblogging existing posts with the #10MFH is not trackable. You've gotta send them in asks or be so so brave and DM.
We've also got a couple of commissioned artists who will be sharing work inspired by the fic. I will be adding links to interactive bonus content on this master list and on the chapter announcements as they are released, along with a couple of low-barrier participatory events planned (like sharing a photo of your favorite holiday or seasonal mug). The purpose of this event is to be in community with one another, be ourselves, and have fun! Any and all original content is encouraged. Please come as you are <3 Lastly, thank you so so much for all of the excitement and support around this fic! She has truly blossomed from your love and encouragement, which has warmed my heart and made all the difference <3
Thank you for being so so so niceys to me! Please enjoy my little gift to all of you.

Making vegan stuffed cabbage for the Simchat Torah kiddush in bet knesset tomorrow (hey, Hamas, Iran, don't send us missiles okay?). Cabbage weighs just over 3 kilo... which is heavier than many newborn babies. And yes, I have a pot large enough to boil it whole to soften the leaves. Filling will be rice, zucchini, carrots, and onions.
So let me get this right, someone asked an intriguing question about the possible deeper psychology behind Cas removing Sam's wall, and everyone is demonizing them?
It is interesting how some people want Destiel to be so deeply etched in every non-relevant piece of subtext, projecting their own desires for self-actualisation on moments that mean nothing beyond the text, right up until an idea they don't like is presented.
The psychology of psychodynamics underpins that behind every behaviour - every thought - there's an obvious concious thought process, and a less obvious unconscious thought process. On the surface we see Cas remove Sam's wall because it will distract Dean, however, it is clear there are deeper thought processes happening because he could have done so many other things instead, up to and including killing the Winchesters.
Cas wouldn't do that! I hear you say.
Yes, he wouldn't, and why wouldn't he kill the Winchesters?
Because he's in love with Dean and Sam gets a pass for being Dean's little brother (remember Cas saw Sam as an abomination for the first couple of seasons).
Let's also look simply at Cas' life, he has spent millenia serving and devoted to a father he never met, pouring love and his existence into an entity that never gave the same in return, just commanded he have faith. Cas has never known what it is to feel loved, to be seen and acknowledged as an individual rather than part of the collective. He is touch and affection starved, and the human he's fallen for has shown time and time again he's willing to throw away his life and his purpose for a brother tainted by the Devil.
If Cas kills Sam he knows Dean will hate him, but breaking Sam's wall doesn't end his life and Cas still isn't human enough yet to realise that won't matter to Dean. So yes, it is entirely plausible that in that moment the unconcious part of Cas' mind preocupied with base instinct, fear, desire and selfish motives considered how removing Sam from the equation might balance out more of Dean's attention on him.
If any of you are baulking at this question because you're seeing implied wincest, that says more about you than the person asking it. Sam is Dean's brother - arguably his surrogate son - Dean feels a familial and parental need to guard and protect him. Sam has always come first to Dean at this point in the show, it has been the two of them against the world so of course that is a difficult dynamic to find your place in. It's a similar concept to a single parent dating for the first time since the break-up, the age old tale of animosity between the step parent and child. There is so much psychology to it (beyond Freudian) I'm not even going to start delving deeper.
Point is this question was intriguing and founded in sound thought that raised a multitude of possible answers depending on the branch of psychology - and fanons - you subscribe to. It's a different and more complex take on s6 villain Cas that actually makes his journey in that season more sad to think about. He was alone, he was scared, he was fighting for his life with the weight of heaven on his shoulders so yeah, maybe a deep dark part of his still barely human psyche wanted Dean all to himself.
I have already seen a post CELEBRATING that tomorrow is October 7th. The one year anniversary of the day that over a thousand people were slaughtered, many more wounded and tormented. The day that people- MY people- were taken hostage.
I am going to put this as plainly as I can. If you in any way support what Hamas did on October 7th. You are a monster. If you in any way excuse what Hamas did on October 7th of last year, you are not worth the fucking air you breathe. We have not had a chance to mourn because the SECOND our blood was spilled, people started cheering for more, and instead of having the time to process and grieve all those we lost. Jews around the world had to turn and defend ourselves, justify our existence over and over again.
No more. I will not justify my right to live, to exist, to be Jewish.
We will dance again. Am Yisrael Chai.
