You never know what color pallette someone's Tumblr is till ppl are screenshotting posts and tags
do u like mine
Oh wow.
Some people on tumblr are reading ancient scrolls and you'd never know
some people will be like “I wonder why fanfic writers don’t share their works anymore😔” and then this is them when a writer is kind enough to share something they write — as a hobby, for their own enjoyment — with them for free.
some people really don’t realize how privileged they are that they get fanfics for free. imagine having access to something for free because someone is kind enough to share it with you… and then being rude, entitled and an ungrateful pos to that person who was kind enough to share their creation with you for free
“almost 1 year is a lil too much for me” fuck off. fanfic writers don’t owe you anything. one of my favorite fics was updated after 13 years, and what I did is that I thanked the author for choosing to continue the work, I didn’t act like a spoiled toddler by asking why they didn’t update sooner. and even if a writer chooses to abandon their fic permanently with no explanation, that is their choice, their hobby, their decision. they don’t owe your entitled ass anything.
you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.
The answer is also in the lines because he says, "I knew it would torture you. I want to see you tortured. I want to see you suffer. I want that. I want to see you fucking beg." Which is, really, the best response that Armand can get out of Lestat. That's what he wants.
We all agree, right?
AI to write your novel is wrong
A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay
Only if you specify in the contract that the demon can't use chat-GPT
I've been thinking about this - and why asking the demon is also a bad idea
Tartini was a composer and violin teacher and no one respected him, he was generally broke, and he started having weird dreams in which the devil asked him to teach him violin
despite being catholic tartini agreed - although everything told him this was a bad idea
so he taught the devil violin in his dreams and when he had taught him everything he knew the devil offered him payment, he played an original composition in his dream
Tartini woke up weeping and struggled to write it down
we have a historical version of "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just its tribute", and the song he wrote down made him "Sonata in G Minor, aka the devil's trill" it's usually played by 2 violinists because it's evil difficult,
now imagine you make a deal with the devil to write your novel, he writes it but only lets you read it in a dream and you have to transcribe it from memory the next day.... 150k of the best prose and plot you've ever seen in your life and you have to remember it
chatgpt is evil, but that's just mean
This brings a whole new element to my understanding of Devil Went Down to Georgia
So fun things about the devil went down to Georgia is it's not a violin contest. It is a fiddling contest. Back in the day before radio if people wanted music at an event you had to have musicians. So a fiddler is more like a DJ in function. A fiddler would play the music and know all the hip songs of the time.
That's actually what Johnny's verse in the song is, it's all song titles.
Fire on the mountain
House of the rising sun [the animals version of this one is more fun imo]
Chicken in the bread pan (picking out dough)
Granny will your dog bite
The devil may have been the better violin player, but Johnny was the superior fiddler.

This is how it goes: God whispers in Cain’s jealous ear, drawing his attention to the Sin crouched at his doorway. Sin has haunted eyes and a mouth that has been kissed. Let there be no doubt that Sin has been kissed, with a wet-red mouth that may taste of blood or pomegranate or the electric crackle of a stoplight. Cain looks at Sin. He runs his tongue over his teeth.
This is how it goes: Cain leaves the house at one am in bare feet and a hoodie, careful to avoid the last stair that creaks, and treks out into the Field. There are many fields in the world but there is only one Field. Cain feels the difference in the grass when he crosses the border from field to Field, the way the grey-green blades stand up at attention in his wake, the way the dirt turns ice-cold and furious beneath his heels. The earth is good with foreshadowing. The tree of Knowledge has deep roots.
This is how it goes: God says, I will take you or your brother.
God says, You get to choose.
And Cain says, “When you split me and my brother in the womb, you did not divide us evenly. He got kindness, and I got longing. He got complacence, and I got ambition. I want to kill him sometimes. I think sometimes he wants to die.”
I have never made brothers before, God explains. That is how I thought they were made. What more do you want?
“I want to steal some of his kindness,” Cain says, and shakes his pocket knife out of his sleeve.
Back at home, Abel sits up in his bed with a start, heart racing. That was close, he thinks, that was a damn close one, and does not know why.
In the Field, the ground warms as blood seeps into the dirt.

Video Clips from the J2 VIP Panel at Purgatory 10 on May 23, 2026
These are all on TikTok. I'm going to link them rather embedding them since there are so many. Also, the fact that I even saw these is thanks to this post on X who drew attention to them.
Clip 1 Clip 2 Clip 3 Clip 4 Clip 5 Clip 6 Clip 7 Clip 8
One more clip has been added by the same account. This follows at some point after clip #8 I think. It also has the bit where Jensen kills the fly. Not in the way I'd pictured when I heard the story!
Clip 9
There's also a very short clip which I guess is either their entrance or exit or at some point during the opening or closing ceremony or something. It's set to music so you can't hear what they're saying and I haven't watched through everything through in enough detail yet to recognize what it's from or if I've seen it before.
They've added a couple more!

New Enhanced Edition - LACON 2009 - Main J2 Panel
Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (37 videos available.)
Here's a new J2 video! This is very close to the full panel, although about 7 minutes' worth will be audio-only coverage. If you weren't a fan back in these earlier years, or if you've never run across the audio recordings, some of this coverage may be new to you.
There's also a short gap with no coverage at all when they were giving their closing remarks, but thanks to j2wiki's transcript from back when more footage was available, I was able to put a transcript of what was missed in the sidebar
The video quality is quite low (when it's not absent altogether!), but there's so much hilarity in this panel that it's still worth watching. The above thumbnail will probably remind you of one of the funny parts if you've seen this panel before.
What's Next?
Next up is Misha's solo panel. It took place later in the day after this J2 panel. This was only his second convention.
I have about 43.5 minutes' worth of coverage with a gap of unknown length somewhere in the middle. About 12 minutes of the coverage will be audio-only. 11 minutes is all in one big section with no video and the rest is scattered across very small bits of video gaps. That extra audio content is a major reason why I decided to do Misha's panel too; I like it when I feel like I can add something that isn't readily available to the fandom and probably hasn't been seen (or heard in this case!) by as many people.
I'm going to aim for a 6-week turnaround time. I'll finish sooner if I can, but I'm still having some trouble keeping up with everything on my plate at the moment. I'll also be out of town for a few days soon which means I'll lose some video editing days. I'm trying to give myself some breathing room to keep the stress levels from climbing too high.
After I finish Misha's panel, I plan to tackle Asylum #3 from 2009 which should be quite an endeavor! I haven't watched those videos in a long time, but I remember them as being in bad shape. I'm pretty sure there won't be any complete panels, but I'm not sure how bad it will be. I'll see what I find once I start digging into the footage in a few weeks. They had a J2 panel, two solo Jared panels, and one solo Jensen panel.
Before/After Comparison Photos
This source was used for about 6.5 minutes' worth of the video. I also used 14.5 minutes' worth of their audio. I used bits and pieces from several other sources that are credited in my video description on YouTube. I also used about 9 minutes of video from various clips that Candygramme sent me from her archives. They appear to be from a few different sources that I didn't see on YouTube, with different angles and different levels of quality.
If you're unfamiliar with this project...
Check out the pinned post on my blog. It has more details about what I'm doing. I also keep it updated with links to all my videos and a note about which panel I'm currently working on.
Serial killers had a 120 years or so "golden age" where forensic technology was good enough to detect them and give them fame by connecting their individual murders to one culprit, but not yet good enough to reliably catch them.
I would like to share the story of a very understandable but unfortunate mistake i made at work recently
So I'm weeding our ancient and terrible collection of children's books for the first time in possibly ever, and I'm making a decision about a book about migrant workers by Sandra Weiner, called Small Hands, Big Hands. And I'm not 100% sure and I go to just see if there's anything out there about this book's being notable in any way so I do an open web search for
"small hands big hands weiner"
And then I look at my results for a moment
and then at last I somberly add to the end of my search, "BOOK"
I have one like that:
In mathematics, you often consider the two-dimensional plane - you know, the idealised flat two-dimensional object that extends infinitely - which can be real or complex (doesn't matter what that means)
On this, you can perform a mathematical operation called a "blow-up" (resulting in a more complicated geometry)
I needed to look up a formula related to this, so I confidently typed into the search bar:
"Blow up real plane"
The results were not what I wanted and I am not sure if I'm on a terror watchlist now.
This reminds me of my corsetmaker days when i found myself searching for "extra thick boning."
well i've decided i am just gonna manually paste all my created html files of the j2 con panel youtube transcripts into blogger because it's silly how much time i put into it and it only being available to me locally. and realistically, i'm very fast and efficient at data entry stuff, so me just pasting 500 some odd files and doing a few bits of typing with each one won't take me very long
and also gotta refresh my memory on how i made them to begin with so i can grab the latest panels since i did the big bulk go
Typo of the century
I thought it was the mother of all shitposts for a second there lmfao
