Wow. I can't believe it's been a year already. It's been... Interesting. Rough. To be honest, I'm kinda surprised I'm sitting here at the tail-end of December having come through in relatively one piece. So that being said, here are some specific awesome people from this past year that I'm going ramble about a little bit.
For the purposes of not having this being too crazy-ass long, EVERYONE on this list posts awesome awesome awesome stuffs. And obviously you should follow all of them because they are some of my favorite people of this past year <3
Oh man. Circle. Circle, Circle, Circle. I don't even know where to begin. You're wonderful and amazing and this past year of being your friend has just been beyond compare because we just clicked so well. And you're always there for me, always sending me the best texts and emails full of help for physics, and giving the best advice and virtual hugs when I need it. Whenever I'm falling apart, you don't let me. And that means so much to me <3
And you're just fun. I love talking to you, just our random little conversations during the day (especially about your bus driver ehehehe) and our Tumblr conversations and seriously, I brown you more.

XIKI WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR LIKE SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS HOW FUCKING CRAZY IS THAT!?
I know this year has been rough, but we made it through and our friendship is still going strong. Which means the world to me, because I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. You've been my own constant throughout the years. I'd do anything for you, and I know you'd do anything for me. And like it or not, you're stuck with me for as long as you'll keep me around <3
One day we shall actually meet in person, and there shall be all the snuggles and tea-drinking and it shall be glorious. Until then, just know that I love having you as a friend, and I absolutely love you and trust you, and I wish you all the best in 2013.

Okay, I have no idea how I found your blog or what got me to follow, but I'm so glad that I did. Because you are just wonderful and so nice, whether you're leaving little replies to something I post or answering questions I have. You're so easy to talk to, and you always have really intelligent commentary to provide on just about any subject. And I love absolutely everything you post, it's all just awesome.
Also. Meeting up with you over the summer was the best, especially just being able to talk about Supernatural and season 8 theories in person. I'm a bit sad that you've moved now, but I hope you do well back in Australia and I can only wish you all the best!

BECKET. When I first started writing this list I was all "Omg I haven't seen Becket in forever and I miss him!!" and now I've seen you and it was wonderful :D But that's part of what's so awesome about our friendship, we can not see each other and not talk to each other for months and then pick right back up where we left off again.
And you're going to college next year! Which is exciting and wonderful and ahhh I'm so happy for you! :D And I know that the end of your senior year at Housy is going to be great, and you're going to do so well at Cornell. Literally my only complaint is that I have to remember to send you harassing asks more often so we keep talking <3

And I really appreciate all the little encouraging messages you've sent me, I've hoarded all of them and reread them when I'm feeling down. Basically, just keep being the awesome person that you are :D

WOW it feels like I've been following you for a lot longer than I have. I know we don't always talk a lot, but it seems like whenever I was freaking out over the summer you were always there with a lot of awesome helpful advice, which is definitely appreciated and was definitely very useful!
And you're very nice to everyone! And it's awesome how you don't jump to conclusions about things either, and stay level-headed (at least when I've been talking to you) and you're definitely someone that I know I can go to if I have a question and you won't yell at me or anything, which I definitely appreciate :)
Also. Best posts and seriously best fic recs ever. Basically you're just all around awesome and nice and I hope things go wonderfully well for you because you deserve it! :D
Jared spends the first summer watching the cubs of other weretigers back at Jensen's home. They're adorable and he loves them to death, loves playing with them and having them crawl all over him. But it's frustrating because he knows that the weretigers can communicate with the cubs but he can't, because he hasn't been turned.
That's what changes his mind about being turned, actually. Because he doesn't know if he wants cubs of his own just yet, but he wants to be able to talk to Jensen and his family without them having to shift back, and he wants to be able to communicate with the cubs he's watching.
And, though he'll only ever admit it to Jensen, he wants to have that deeper level of intimacy with his mate that can only exist between two weretigers. And he wants to be able to curl up with Jensen without worrying about being crushed if Jensen rolls over. He wants to groom his mate, and be groomed, and play-fight with him and having stupid roaring contests, and even help destroy the last of the feather cat-toys that Jared knows Jensen stashed away in the house.
Jensen doesn't believe him at first, when Jared tells him he wants to be turned. He's still afraid that Jared is going to leave, and he doesn't want to turn Jared and tighten that bond if Jared is even the slightest bit unsure. But Jared wheedles and begs and slowly wears him down, until Jensen agrees to turn him.
The first thing Jared does, once he figures out how to walk in his tiger-form and after being coddled by Jensen for a few days, is go back to the cubs he was watching and lie down, letting them crawl over his new tiger-form. And he smiles because, for the first time, he can hear their excited chatter.
filthyimpalaporn replied to your post: So like, can someone tell me what the trick is to...
wear tights or leggings underneath? if you don’t want to do that just fucking s t r u t man who cares, you can always adjust your hemline.
I'll sometimes wear a pair of thin black yoga-style shorts under, but never really got the hang of matching up what leggings would look stupid when paired up with skirts/dresses. :(
I may end up just having to lounge around in a skirt to get used to it or something...
