hello i'm jack, i use all pronouns, i like to write and also draw sometimes
i cannot ever say anything in a concise way, i apologize in advance, i love to ramble :’)
i tend to jump from fandom to fandom a lot, so i'm pretty inconsistent with what i reblog
if you ever want to send me a message or ask, even if we're not mutuals, go ahead!! i love talking to people and making new friends!!
i love to do art trades, so if you like my art or writing and have anything you'd like to do in trade (art/writing/editing/playlists/moodboards/crochet/secret family recipe/fancam of my cat/etc) always feel free to ask me about that!! i also do art commissions which you can find here (if you're interested in a writing commission, msg me and we could work that out)

feel free also to friend me on discord (crystalrainwing) or email me [email protected]
userboxes from @mountaingoatsuserboxes :3
i only post my fandom-related writing online, but i also write original short stories, poems, and personal essays, so if you'd like to see any of those feel free to ask :3
i have a bad habit of not using punctuation when i'm just typing casually so if that makes it hard for you to read what i'm saying you can tell me to knock it off. additionally i like to play fast and loose with regular word order so sometimes i say things in a way that is terrible and bad to read. sorry!
if it is a thing that makes a difference to you, i am a grown adult who pays rent, so i guess don't follow me if you're an adults dni person
some of my favourite characters, from current and past fandoms: hollyleaf (wc), klaus (tua), sam (spn), jack (spn), jenny from thebes (tmg), stan (gf), mabel (gf), hellen (lo), sam (lo), mob (mp100), gtws from 3rd life specifically, maxwell (w359), minkowski (w359), pepper (wayfarers), sidra (wayfarers), the distortion (tma), tomura (mha), yokafee (ysmp)… and many others
they call me 'guy with dietary restrictions' in my case specifically i strictly cannot have gluten and non-strictly cannot have meat or dairy so if you have any recipes or tips that fit those restrictions please hit me up
if i mention something in the tags of a post, generally that means it’s something i am fine with talking about, so if you’re curious feel free to ask! even if ive tagged it “the [redacted] incident” or something, that’s usually because someone involved uses tumblr, not because i can’t/won’t talk about it. i am nosy and always wonder, so here’s full permission to shoot me a dm or an off-anon ask and i’ll probably tell you
they should invent a high ponytail that doesn’t give me a headache and they should invent a low ponytail that doesn’t make me look like a miller’s apprentice going off to enlist in the continental army
canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana
a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.
an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.
fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
these are all different words with different meanings.
Also, for an interpretation to be valid it needs to be based on the text. It cannot just be a vibe. One can disagree on readings of the text, but if someone comes with quotes and/or historical context and you just have vibes, then sorry, your interpretation is inferior and may in fact just be a headcanon.
phone in bed can range from comforting to mundane but phone in parked car will have you feeling like you've never done anything right in your entire life
My beloved wife and I were at a coffee shop waiting in line. The person in front of us had big friendly energy and was chatting with zeal to their friend.
At a certain point they turned to look at us and said, “So can I say hi, or is that not alllowed?”
I was utterly baffled but willing to say hi to this exceptionally friendly person, however before anything came out of my mouth my wife laughed and said, “You have to say it first, then I can.”
And that’s when I remembered that my beloved wife, a doctor, cannot acknowledge their patients out in the wild but can say hello if they initiate and we all had a good laugh.
