It's time to take to the skies, in this spicy piece by Ethereal and VampAmber! Hold on tight, deers.

A criticism I've seen of Charlie since the middle of Season Two is that she's incapable of really helping sinners because she can't understand what they go through due to her privileged background. I....don't exactly AGREE, but I think that does hit on a REAL issue Charlie has when it comes to reaching out to or connecting with sinners:
She isnt willing to use to her negative emotions to connect with them. Only her positive emotions.
What I mean is, Charlie is unwilling to share any of her pain, her flaws, or any of the personal suffering she's went through in life and only tries to appeal to people through kindness and happiness. But that makes others unwilling to share their real feelings with her because it comes off as her being shallow and not having any "real" problems.
There are two perfect examples of this in the show itself:
In both these instances, Charlie is SUPPOSED to be letting out a REAL part of herself to the group. And in both instances, she gives a superficial, shallow answer. Not because she doesn't have something more deep to GIVE, we KNOW she does. But because she doesn't want to give the impression she doesn't have a handle on herself, she sticks to an easy non-personal answer. Now, admittedly, with the trust falls, MOST of the answers weren't actually something vulnerable, but since Charlie is the one running the hotel, you think she'd want to lead by example. But she can't here. Because deep down, she's SCARED of actually opening up to her friends. Doesn't want to drop her negative emotions on them. Same with the venting circle. She could CHOOSE to vent about the deaths of Razzle or her mom not calling her. But she ISN'T. Because she doesn't want to expose herself like that.
And I'm sure, to her, that seems smart. Act like everything is okay, and people will think you can help them....but its the opposite. Instead she comes off to people as shallow. As not having "real problems." After all, if the worst she has to vent about is a Koala at the zoo, how can she help someone with REAL issues both in life AND death?
And some might say "But Charlie CAN'T understand things Sinners go through because she isn't one." And...No. She CAN'T. But she can understand the major emotions they all feel. She can understand failure.
Understand feeling helpless and powerless.
Understand having regrets
Understand feeling alone in Hell
And most all, understand the pain the extermiantions cause and how terrible it feels to be unable to do anything about them:
To paraphrase @aspoonofsugar , Yes, Charlie can't understand the Microcosm of a sinners pain (Drug addiction, death, gambling addiction, their soul being owned etc) but she can understand the Macrocosm of emotions all sinners feel (Shame, regret, self loathing, guilt, anger at other) and she COULD connect with them THAT way.
But she doesnt. And thats partially just because she doesn't fully grasp how negative emotions CAN connect people. Just look at Vox. Yes, he used Sinners anger and sadness at the exterminations to nearly cause a war....but he DID manage to make a large number of sinners start working together and connecting over their pain and loss over the extermiantions. And Charlie isn't incapable of that. She clearly feels a ton of pain and anguish over them. But she'd never express that publicly out of fear of seeming....not WEAK, but....incapable. Like, during her interview while she talks about the exterminations being bad and makes a mention of how much it hurts to see it comes off a bit like a celebrity talking about a disaster they were running a charity fore. They "care" but don't really "care." And thats because she's trying to....present herself a certain way to the public. And then her trying to act all excited and bubbly about her hotel just gives the impression she's kinda airheaded or isnt THAT serious. When we KNOW she cares. THIS is how she was in her last scene
Morose. Heartbroken. Looking like she desperately needs a cigarette to take a long hit off after EVERYTHING she just witnessed. That's something im sure EVERY sinner could connect with feeling. Imagine if THAT'S how she came to news station and gave her speech. Just let out all the raw emotion she had inside during her talk about the hotel. Sure, people might still see it as crazy, but its less "Ha-ha, the princess is delusional" to "Ouch, the princess is....really desperate to try, huh?" Maybe it'd even get her SOME support. But she wouldn't do that because Charlie doesn't UNDERSTAND how negative feelings can help connect people.
If someone told her "someone else feels lonely and you should talk to them about how you used to feel lonely", she might question why. She'd think that would only make them feel worse and she should just try to make them feel less lonely. Charlie needs to understand that showing or telling others you experience the same negative emotions as them, even if not in the same way as them, can make them not only feel better but see you as someone they can talk to about things because they KNOW you experienced similar feelings. People don't need to go through the same things to have felt similar emotions. But Charlie ONLY tries reaching out to or connecting with sinners using positive emotions instead of the more negative ones that both sides can more relate to.
Something i mentioned in chats, once again with @aspoonofsugar , is that deep down, both Charlie and the sinners are unhappy with themselves. Just in different ways. And Charlie can connect better to sinners if she becomes willing to admit that. Because just as Vox tapped into Sinners pain to make them lash out, Charlie can tap into their pain to help them heal. But ONLY if she taps into her own pain and admits it to THEM. After all, who wants to be told to "share" by someone who wont share herself? She has to present herself more to the sinners of Hell, not as The Princess, not as an authority figure or just someone trying to help put a smile on their face. But as the sad, scarred, starved for affection person who can understand some of their sadness. As Charlie Morningstar.
i saw a post about wikipedia losing site visits to slop generators. some of us are on wikipedia like white on rice but i think it'd be fun to encourage everyone to start reading a random wikipedia article every so often. yknow, help out their metrics. learn random shit. click to get a random article!
what kind of article did you get?
a person (or a group like a band)
some sort of animal, bug, bacteria, etc (viruses can go here)
some sort of plant, fungus, whatever the fuck seaweed is,
a location
an historical event
some sort of device, contraption, vehicle, etc
a company, organization, government, etc
any type of game (board, table top, video, etc)
any type of art form (writing, music, theatre, painting, etc)
a scientific article
something that doesn't fall into any of the above categories???
and if you read it, feel free to expound in the tags on what it was about and if you learned anything!
I got an article about yuebeipotamon, "a species of potamid crab from hill streams and pools in north Guangdong, China." đŚ
He is just a silly little guy. I love him so much.

This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people donât realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

Forcing schools to out students six weeks after learning about their sexual orientation puts LGBTQ+ youth in danger. Florida schools should be a place where kids feel supported, not scared.Â
This bill already required schools to inform families that their children identify as LGBTQ+ upon coming out. Outing students was not a requirement when believed that doing so might lead to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. With this amendment, there is no longer a way around it.
This bill will force children to hide who they are in fear of being outed. Our youth will be at an even greater risk of abuse, neglect, and even homelessness. This bill is dangerous for LGBTQ+ students and harmful to education.
Floridaâs Donât Say Gay amendment is not okay. Do better, Ron DeSantis.Â

The letter didnât come from the Nazi party, but from the publishing house which had expressed an interest in the German translation of The Hobbit. Tolkienâs response really is a thing of beauty, though, so it deserves to be quoted in its entirety:
25 July 1938Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 20 Northmoor Road, Oxford
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your letter. ⌠I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject - which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.
Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearings whatsoever on the merits of my work or its suitability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.
I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and remain yours faithfully
J.R.R. Tolkien.
(Letter 30)
The Hobbit wasnât published in German until 1957.
This might just be the politest âfuck youâ ever written.
W.h.a.t.
Not just âI wish I had Jewish ancestors, but I donât,â but also âyou do realize thatâs not what âAryanâ actually means, right,â and âyou guys are making it pretty hard to be proud of my German heritage.â
Nazis: Are you Aryan?
Noted linguistics freak Tolkien: Are you?
Pointing out the Romani, a group explicitly targeted for genocide for not being âAryan,â were more Aryan than the white supremacist should be included as an extra fuck you
In a battle of words against Tolkien, sir, it would appear that you came unarmed.

It was the Apocalypse. Dean was in heat. Alcohol was involved. Their instincts insisted. Those were among the many excuses the omega came up with to explain why he and Cas had had sex (because there was no way his crush on the angel was requited, cuz he was a freaking angel). And when Dean showed up on Lisaâs doorstep, he already knew he was pregnant. But Cas had left after the portal to Hell closed back up again, and Dean really didnât think heâd ever come back. No reason to, now that the Not-pocalypse was over, right?
Being with Lisa helped Dean deal with some of the grief, even if their relationship wasnât really too much past platonic yet. Trying to move on hurt, but Lisa was awesome. Especially with her being so understanding about everything, even Deanâs reluctance to take things any faster than a snailâs pace.
Only, Cas never really left, and he always made sure to check up on Dean whenever he could. His alpha instincts wouldâve never let him do otherwise, even if theyâd never actually mated. Or worked through any of the fifty fucktons of miscommunications from that one night.

I wrote for almost 9 hours straight, and got an entire 13k a/b/o Destiel mpreg fic that's mostly in canon. I still can't 100% believe that I actually did this. I'm gonna wake up from this dream come true any minute, but until then, holy fuck I wrote a 13k fic in a single sitting! And holy hell, did I need to pee when I finished it...
my favourite posts are the ones like "something something profound about angels and the fragility of humanity etc etc" and someone adds something really prophetic or intriguing and OP comes back like "that's nice but this post is about castiel supernatural thank u"
