So this is the pinned post

Welcome to my blog!

I use it to post and reblog fandom stuff mostly, but it can get personal. I do what I want. I'm a proshipper, although I prefer to call it "having the common sense to differentiate between reality and fiction". RPF is fine, as a great man once said.

I love Supernatural, the Fetch Phillips archives, Black Sails, LOTR and a many other things. I'm a wrestling gay. I tag everything by fandom and/or ship.

I'm a printer guy 🖨 (interpret that as you will)

I do ficbinding for my personal use. Sometimes I bind fics and am too shy to tell the author, but I post pics and notes about the finished projects on my blog. If you happen upon a fic of yours in my binds and want pictures or mentions of it taken down, tell me.

I love meeting and talking to people, so never hesitate to reach out. If you reblog an ask game from me, play with me. Be polite, be kind.

drawing someone else's sword from the scabbard suddenly and without permission

using someone else's sword as a way to remember them after they've passed

you're not worthy of me drawing my sword/it's almost always left in the scabbard

sword with some measure of sentience e.g. ability to jostle/laugh/purr

emotionally significant "may I please borrow your sword" moment

plot-significant sword name change

Alright tell me in the tags, what’s Your Poem? That poem you heard once and it has dwelt within you ever since?

[kinky-cas]

i think we as a society have evolved past the need for spn cons with actor q&a panels

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

[Image description: a video followed by 6 flags.

The video, described by @holyfunnyhistoryherring, is a captioned tik tok by @thatrobinhood, showing a white guy with short brown hair and a longer beard, wearing a bathrobe, holding a drink and talking to the camera. He says, “So I was at a tractor-pull one time (yes, I am exactly the kind of redneck that goes to tractor-pulls) and this guy showed up, I guess with his boyfriend, um, I’m not a 100% sure. But he was wearing, uh, pink cowboy boots. He had homemade cut-of jean shorts, he had a, uh, flannel crop top, and he had a pink John Deer trucker hat.Anyway, one of the rednecks behind me was looking at this guy and he’s like ‘I don’t know why anybody would come to a tractor-pull dressed like that’ and the other redneck who’s behind me goes ’listen, if he wants to come to a tractor pull dressed like that, it’s his God given right. What the fuck do you think freedom, Earl?’ and now I really want a pride bumper sticker that says ‘What the fuck do you think freedom means, Earl?’”

The flags are the rainbow, bi, lesbian, pan, trans, and ace flags. The bi and ace flags have a different font from the others, but they each have “What the fuck do you think freedom means, Earl!?” written over them with uppercase black text.

Best followup I could have possibly asked for. No way I'm letting it stay in the tags.
