@eddievenombigbang is over and @cupidsbower and I have made a fic!

Join us for aliens, journalism, courting, and a battle for the throne of the galactic empire.

The fic contains several more illustrations, which will be posted here eventually but for now are an AO3 exclusive.

Read The End of Happiness HERE!

Hey, how are you feeling about Supernatural and the looming ending? I was just coming out of a marking fugue when I answered your question the other day. I didn't want to leave it any longer, as I enjoy our conversations, and it felt like too long since we'd last had one. But I'm pretty sure I answered like I was responding to a student asking for a clarification about feedback. Sorry if that was the case. I genuinely want to know where you're at with it.

Well, I’ve decided to catch up on episodes so that I can watch the finale with everyone else. Originally I was going to wait until I had the whole last half of the season saved up and do it all at once. But... it’s a cultural phenomenon. It’s not like I’m going to be unspoiled, so I might as well join in. And I think my whole take will really depend on what they do and don’t do. I have an essay that I already wrote up, but it’s only valid if Cas comes back and Dean professes his love in return. And that’s a pretty big IF. The story is a certain sort of story if that happens and it isn’t if it doesn’t. 

I don’t feel like it’s out of the realm of possibility any longer. As in, they’ve paid all the dues. Dean’s grown up emotionally. He decided years ago that he didn’t have to be who his father wanted him to be.

And Cas said “I love you.” He started the conversation. 

Dean either finishes it or he doesn’t. Either is an easy choice for the show to make. One is easy politically? Commercially? Whatever the right word is for making network-types feel safe. The other is easy narratively. 

I don’t know if I feel trepidation or excitement. I don’t want them to go out like Game of Thrones, which was the height of cultural relevance for years, ended badly, and dropped off the face of the earth. Like who reblogs GoT content anymore? Who even talks about it except network execs who want the next cash cow? How many people regret that their kid is now named Khaleesi?

These characters have been my friends for a long time. Some of my oldest friends, in fact. I want them to be remembered fondly. To have done a good thing. 

But like much of this year, all I can do is sit and wait.

Hi Zine Team. Can you please let me know what you mean by "merch" for artists? I think you mean making additional art to promote the zine and/or put on mugs and stuff as fundraisers for charity. But you might mean converting the submitted art for that kind of purpose.

Hey there! What we mean by merch is extra physical goodies you can buy with the zine, like keychains or stickers. So when we ask on the application about artists designing merch, we’re asking if they would want to create art separate from their zine piece to go on things like that. Hope that answers your question!

cupidsbower replied to your post: I agree with what you said about it being “him”.....

interesting, so if the actors change a line a bit, the captions will be wrong? surely there’s some additional checking to make sure that doesn’t happen, but it sounds like there could easily be minor discrepancies

the article goes into detail about that, and that's why they listen as well (and also to make sure the dialogue lines up on screen correctly while the lines are being spoken. that the lines are attributed to the correct speaker, etc.). But if an entire line is changed from the script, they will edit it. I don't know if they have the sort of leeway to interpret a potentially misunderstandable word however they please, and the article doesn't address that specifically. I don't think it's as common an occurrence as most folks think, though. Like meta!Robert Singer in the French Mistake said, they couldn't just make up their own lines. :P

Also tree magic. Tree magic everywhere.

duck in plum sauce vs your fave dessert

Now the biggest question here is what is my favourite desert. Is it cheesecake? Is it rice pudding? Is it Eve’s Pudding? 

I honestly don’t know the answer to that question, but I do know that I’d choose any of them over duck in plum sauce, even though I do really like duck in plum sauce

[I can’t imagine why you might have been thinking about duck in plum sauce :-)]

Hey thanks :)

cupidsbow/er on everything

An update on non-Tumblr stuff.

The hub

I’m cupidsbow over on Dreamwidth, and I’ve been actively updating over there. I’ve just moved my Venom stuff from Tumblr so far, but will also try and capture some of my Supernatural and Teen Wolf as I get time.

Also over on DW is the symbrock community I created. It’s only been up a few days, but it’s coming along nicely.

cupidsbow over on AO3.

cupidsbower on gmail.

Now and again

cupidsbow#8377 on Discord, but I’m just on Symbrock Squad right now and pop in maybe once a week.

cupidsbower on Twitter, but haven’t used it much lately.

cupidsbower on Youtube, where I host my vids. :)

cupidsbow on Vimeo for back-up vid hosting (everything is password protected on Vimeo, so the account looks blank -- passwords are on AO3 and DW posts)

cupidsbow on Diigo, but I’ve not used that much lately.

cupidsbow on FanFiction.net. I flirted with this site briefly when scoping out features for AO3. I don’t use it much.

I think that’s it. I’ll probably try out Pillowfort once it’s a bit more stable. I don’t want to add to the load right now. I’ll let you know once I’m there.
