if dean had to die he should've died in the impala

#he's bleeding out but refuses to let sam drive #both hands on the wheel music playing just quietly on the radio (he never could stand the silence) he drives them until he can find #a nice place to pull over. he actually saw it a few hours back when they were driving up to the hunt and thought it might be a nice place #to stop and have a beer at on the way back because the view is gorgeous #so he drives them out and pulls over on the side of the road and there's a field which slopes and drops off #and then hills that are almost mountains in the distance. the sky is so blue #and he parks up and opens the door so he can get a better look but he's so groggy now he can't be bothered to move #so he's just staring out #no glass obstructing his view but still sat safely within the home which he's always taken care of and which has always taken care of him #and he leans back and says to sam #i always wanted to see the grand canyon. but this is better don't you think? this is our grand canyon. #and the sun is warm on his face and sam is right there next to him and for all the ways to go out bloody #this is the kindest he ever imagined it #dean winchester #ola.txt

What’s the farthest you’ve traveled out of your hometown? My sis is currently on her way to Washington D.C for a field trip, we live in Ohio and from here it’s about a 9 hour drive

A few different directions. I live in the very NW parts of Washington State, and I've been down to Arizona a few times in my life-- about 22-24 hours worth of driving. That's probably the furthest distance-wise I've been. (Although I also used to live in Texas, I am taking this question in relation to where I live currently.)

I've been pretty high up into B.C. (Canada) a few times as well, and into the islands too where ferrying can take quite a few hours.

Oh! And in about a month, I will be visiting two states I've never been to before-- Into Montana and Wyoming to visit family. Really excited to go through the Rockies, I've only ever seen them from a distance in Idaho. This will be the second longest distance traveled for me, as it takes about 16-17 hours to get to our Wyoming destination.

I probably elaborated a little more than you asked for, but I really love traveling!

#eastern washington is my faaaavorite place to go #over to spokane about 7-8 hours out. the journey is beautiful #going through mountains and then canyons and then flat nothingness is just the coolest fucking thing #i wanna be able to visit every state one day #right now i have washington oregon california arizona new mexico texas and idaho checked off #basically all of the west coast + the adjacent #anyway i hope your sister had a fun time on her field trip! #i only ever went on one long distance field trip into the islands off the shore of washington #for a week long camping trip. HATTTTED it but thats bc i had so many medical issues at the time it was just a miserable experience #what i would give to revisit and try again though....... man

Congrats me for going on a stupid little walk for my stupid little mental health.

While I was on said walk a nasty little thought popped into my brain, saying I needed to pack up and go home. For good. I was thinking about how Im having trouble identifying my thing to look forward to, remembering how my trips to melb were always exciting, not just for home cooked pasta but for getting to do other fun activities and live the lifestyle I want, when all of a sudden the "i need to go home" appears. It was weirdly upsetting and anxiety inducing and i dont know if its true or not.

#after i got my breathing back and wasnt in danger of crying anymore I had to poke a little deeper #with a 'he won't BE there even if you go back' and i was even very good about not mountaining the mole hill of appartment sesrching #i thought I'd have to start all over again with a workplace and friends #but i left friends there i wouldnt be starting from nothing #but now i need to wait a bit and see if the thought wanders off #or takes of the mask revealing a 'you dont want to go to Melbourne you want to go to one very specific apartment' #'with a sunny balcony and tomato plants and walking distance to the market and all the asian food you could also for' #or maybe actually take root as a move back to melb and live between the 3 bouldering gyms i used to frequent before moving #and bike to the gardens every week #and go to the bathhouse and DONT have a panic attack every time you go near the museum

Back in my wanting more Infinity Train phase

#i’m rewatching #and there’s so much of the lore that we don’t know! #like every time anyone gets off the train and tries to go into the desert wasteland thing it’s in #they get forced back to the train #but you can see mountains in the distance! #and maybe if we’d gotten more seasons someone would’ve reached those mountains! #idk they’re really interesting to me for some reason #if we had more seasons maybe we could’ve found out how the train came to be! #infinity train

i like to play a game in which i ask myself "are you actually insane or have you been talking to white people too much"

#i dont mean it in a bad way but— yeah it has very specific affects on me #my culture is very warm blooded and fiesty #on a good day these people's breath could melt off the snow on the tips of the mountains that surround us #and white people make me feel like i have misplaced my rib bones #sometimes in a good way. my warmth can be unconventional and unexpected #but sometimes it's insanely lonely to be in the psychological and emotional vicinity of whote people #you've built a thousand years culture around distance #distance between yourselves and distance between you and your emotions and distance between you and the environment #on an individual level that's as foreign and fascinating to me as watching a north pole animal #(and i come from a desert culture) #and on a social level it's pure cultural shock; in my country i'm considered very very normal #for my need to express emotions and hug and kiss and touch people and be loud #and i start to feel like an three headed alien when i'm around white people mentality for too long #like no i dont understand your incessant need to be mild and moderate and ''sensible“. i dont want to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's not how we do it here

what do u do on days u wake up feeling empty and the only things that stir smth up in ur brain and body are memories of times/places that are long gone…. like what am i supposed to do with that….. i don’t feel like a person today i just wanna wake up in my childhood bedroom and smell the way it smelled in winter but i can’t do that so i just go through my day feeling vaguely nauseously unsettled and untethered…. and that doesn’t feel fair but i don’t know what can be done about it

#i know i sound like a broken record but i miss my trees. i miss feeling like i’m home. i miss feeling safe in my body. #i miss the owls and doves that fill the morning by my grandma’s old house and the smell of the co-op and the river #and the way the mountains look surrounding the valley. protecting me. #i miss the feeling of my hands on the window in winter and reading my favourite books for the first time i miss chris i miss my old bed #i miss myself. i feel like i’ve been lost for years #sometimes i wake up distracted and i fill my brain with anything i can find and i cheat the system and i feel things #for a little while. if i keep moving fast enough i forget that i’m lonely. i forget that i’m lost #but sometimes i stop and it catches up to me and i have to sit on the floor #sometimes i realise how far from home i am in every sense of the word and i feel like a child lost in a supermarket #except this time no one is coming to find me if i just stand still #i wake up and everything i can think of that would make me happy is a mirage #i wake up and the music isn’t enough and i want to start pedalling backwards and i feel like i’m floating very fast downstream #and there’s a waterfall looming somewhere in the distance and i can’t grab a log #im not gonna fall off. nothing is ever bad enough for anyone to worry about me drowning. but i am still very wet and very far from home #so what. do. i. do. ? #when i was a kid we lived in a house that had a very large oak tree out front (this was before the house with the willow tree) #at the base of the oak tree was a small fairy pond. we moved in during winter and it was frozen solid and u couldn’t see anything in it #but come spring it melted and we discovered the fairy pool was chock full of marbles of all colours and sizes. hundreds of them. #it was so thrilling to know they’d been waiting for me all winter to find them in the warmth. where are the marbles now #is anything waiting for me? is anything hiding in the frozen pond? #@the universe: i need a little help now pls. pls send me something small and colourful i wasn’t expecting. hundreds of them. or just one. #i am open to it all #because i can’t go back in time and smell my childhood bedroom in winter. and i will not go over the waterfall. so bring me marbles #~ signed yours truly. ps tell the trees i’m still the same

I want to go home so I can actually fix this but I blinked and there was a background. All these years and all I needed to start practicing backgrounds was an obsession with silly little fish dudes. Whatever it takes I guess.

#2 more hours and i can go hooooome #i was rewatching episodes and in one of them there was a little bitty boat waaaaay off in the distance in the harbor #so i wanted to put a little bitty boat way off in the distance #posting it like this makes it easier to see what i need to fiddle with later #mermen will just sit on rocks #im thinking about where franklin lives his little grotto isnt super close to any merfolk society #its closer to a little harbor but on the other side of a mountain so theres still some sense of security #right around the corner id say he likes tricking sailors out of trinkets but he also likes watching the boats #he really wants to ride on a boat

Kirk and spock are really the ideal will they won't they couple because they both have reasons for why they wouldn't confess (spock is embarrassed by his own feelings and kirk WOULD be the guy who goes 'it's not anyone's business but my own how I feel for mr spock' and also because he's captain he's not allowed) but they also have reasons for why they would be the first to confess (spock is very logical and would come forward with his feelings if he thought even for a second they were interfering with how he does his job and kirk is. Kirk.)

#random thoughts #star trek #fucking love this shakespeare episode #but anyway i think spock confesses first. for the hilarity #he confesses fully thinking he's gonna be shot down but also knowing kirk won't make it weird and they can still work together #but like just as a 'im gonna just get this off my chest' moment #kirk goes from stunned silence to angry sputtering to hysterical laughter to both at once #because kirk is emotionally constipated you fucking KNOW he is. he's so mad about it #but like his main rationale for not confessing was that he's not allowed and spock doesn't feel the same way #BUT KNOWING SPOCK FEELS THE SAME WAY??? OUGH HE'S SO MAD #not like at spock but at himself and at starfleet and at just the universe in general #like after spock confesses and kirk's in the room they were in by himself he looks outside at the great wide universe he's exploring #and he hates it so much. fuck the universe fuck starfleet fuck EVERYTHING #my interpretation of kirk is very angry so far. im still on season one #but like kirk turns him down of course and they're very chill about it until eventually they're macking on each other like teenagers #like on a mission on some planet somewhere #kirk DOES pick spock up and he DOES slam him against the wall. very brokeback mountain of him #they're disguised as cowboys or something i've decided. mccoy is very much there but like in the distance #it's strictly making out for like a WHILE. and they never mention it #kirk thinks it's like this unspoken thing between them and it's mutually understood. it's NOT. #spock just had NO REASON to bring it up so far #idk WHY he brings it up. probably just during a casual convo while playing chess and kirk immediately gets weird about it #and spock's like 'is there something wrong jim' and kirk's like 'no i just thought we weren't gonna talk about this' #and spock's like ' . . . do you want me to . . . stop?' and kirk's like 'no you can go ahead i just thought we weren't talking about it' #'did we ever agree to never talk about it?' 'well . . . maybe not VERBALLY per se but' 'ah yes one of your earth customs of tacit agreement' #spock is just very casual about the whole thing because spock is very good at compartmentalizing his emotions #does spock understand WHY kirk doesn't want to date him? no. #does spock understand WHY kirk is making out with him spending all this time with him and also HOLDING HIS HAND??? also no #at one point spock asks about different types of human relationships and kirk gets into the distinctions including greek shit #it does not clear things up like at all but spock relates to agape love

I'm rly glad I have the patience to deal with rich people bc a lot of the clients I interact with at my job have more money than I could ever even hope to imagine having and it's. it feels fucking weird. it's just so strange. for the most part it's actually fine but. not to sound like a greedy peasant but I can feel my patience severely wearing thin every time one of them tells me how much they appreciate the work I'm doing at their 7k square foot seasonal mansion but they can't drop like 10 bucks as a tip ever. do you know how much 7k sqft is. that is approximately 35 of my apartments. and you may be thinking 'echo that's like 200sqft that's a tiny ass apartment that's your problem' and you are correct! this is because it was the only decent place within a reasonable distance I could feasibly afford

7k sqft. 35 of my apartments. of course I wouldn't expect to be able to afford something huge. I'm just starting out. but 35 of my apartments. no tip. idk what kind of point I'm trying to make here, maybe nothing, maybe this is stupid (and I'm probably going to delete this whole rant in 5min anyway), but it feels. weird. and I keep thinking about it every single time I clock in to work

#misc.txt #idk. working in airbnbs that are $500+ a night for rich ppl coming up to wine taste n I'm lucky I even get to SEE the interior #spending 4hrs working on some asshole's estate and getting 'tipped' w a half eaten box of stale cookies. yes this actually happened. #like this job is.....fine. (at least it's not retail) #+I dont plan to have it for more than a year ish so nbd. but. like. idk man. it's just. it's something. yk? #overhearing the client is absent on a 6month luxury vacation in spain. vs. #me being able to take 1 week off to 'camp' in my cold ass car in the middle of the mountains #and yeah! I'm lucky+privileged to have the time and money to blow on even that tbh! I have spare money! #but. there's. something about this job. idk if it's really jealousy. it's something else. the customers arent mean. they're giving me work. #supposedly we get large tips towards jan/feb so maybe they tip then. I can hope. just. weird as hell experience #and let me restate I'm not like....poor. it's just #the sheer distance between me and them. wild shit

Across the Canadian Rockies (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the west while taking in views across a forest of evergreens to more distant ridges and peaks of the Waputik Range at Hector Lake Viewpoint. This is in Banff National Park along the Icefields Parkway. In composing this image, I decided on a more leveled-on view with the horizon. I felt I could capture a view looking over and across the forest to the more distant mountains. I liked how there was that little sliver of the lake to highlight a contrast between the forest and mountains.

Athy i do have to say that changing your pinned post from your fic to an ask from me is making me feel like i’m a trophy wife in the best and most flattering possible sense of the term (EA [not the gaming company])

ea unfortunately i’m one of those embarrassing people who will not shut up about things i adore i would shout your name from a mountaintop if i could so i suppose you’ll just have to get used to that ehehehe

#athy texts #elevator anon #e.a. for elevator anon #not the gaming company #brb i’m off to climb a mountain #and stare longingly into the distance

wicked and lazy bastard in my heart whispering to me "the tokyo cityscape can just be boxes" shut up king I appreciate the input but when the cylinder of the water tower turns into a box that's just going a little TOO far my love

like!!! I drew better pictures for breaking stasis!! come on don't be lazy now. don't be lazy now!!! ! !

#just thinking thoughts... #I fully intend on fleshing out the cityscape. don't worry. #it's just like. this IS actually pretty good I think. compositionwise. #I think the cluster of taller buildings in the distance pulls it together #real cities are like that!! I think living in taipei for a while helped me get a better idea of what cityscapes look like #unfortunately it also makes me want to slap mountains everywhere. and well I AM just looking at tokyo on the satellite view on google maps #but like. there doesn't seem to be THAT many mountains I don't think #we need an in between of street view and satellite view. 30th floor view. #they were not kidding when they said write what you know... I think I could draw a much more characteristic taipei. #I mean it's a distinctive place. the whole 7 bridges leading from new taipei to taipei I mean. #WAIT I'M STUPID. I THINK I LOOK UP PICTURES OF TOKYO. LIKE PHOTOGRAPHS. LMAO #<- guy who is stupid ? ? ? ? ? ? ? #I like that my layers are a lot more organized this time around. #see I can turn off everything in the foreground and just complain about the bg. spoiler free... #NOT THAT LIKE. I THINK ANYONE CARES. OTHER THANME ! ! !

can’t believe my friends being this big of a cunt because of pop figures but okay

#like i get that i’ll probably only get £5 for each of them #but i need the money #i can’t give her them for free #i don’t care if she’d do the same #i just spent £15 to drive her into the mountains #don’t see me asking for that back #she said she drives me places too so it evens out #1) everytime she drives me i buy her at least lunch #2) she has driven 2 kind of not really long distance places (like an hour and a half) #i do literally all the other long drives #3) she can’t say that her dropping me off home (like a total 15 minutes extra driving for her) equates to me driving her around the hills #for 4 hours on a day out which was her idea to begin with #i talk and its probably something weird

Thinks so hard abt swap au Wendy... Worlds lamest trans person sees being turned into a robot as a bad thing smh

#rat rambles #starve posting #now that my friend is an over simplification and in truth his situation is indeed deeply extistenstially horrifying #especially for a child who in no ways could ever be expected to process this at all but is left with nothing else to think about #long story short one night abby was like hey hey wendy you know what we should do? we should go camping!! #and packed a bunch of things a kid would think you need for camping and dragged wendy off into the woody mountains by the cabin their #family was vacationing at despite wendy saying thats a dumb idea and he doesnt want to go #eventually abby chose out a camping spot and ran off to get some firewood leaving wendy to wait and watch their stuff #then webber who as Ive barely but technically explained only half exists is watching sadly in the distance sad he can't join #and wendy sees him and is like wtf and webber gets super excited because wendy can see him but that ends up freaking wendy out more #leading to him backing away as webber tries to get close and slipping and falling down a very steep slope and bonking his head rip #he was basically dead and webber was upset and felt bad so he took it upon himself to save wendy's brain and make him a new body! #but since wendy's brain was pretty fucked a lot had to be replaced with robotic parts and pretty much all of wendy's memories were lost #he has some very very corrupted memory from the last night before he died and some scattered memories from when webber was testing shit #before his body was fully made and thats everything he could remember when waking up in his new body for the first time #to be clear he wasn't conscious the Entire time webber was working on his new body since webber kept him in a sleep like state mostly #only pulling him out of it for certain tests where he wanted his brain to be more responsive #mostly just to test like his eyes and ears and such #but yeah he got seperated from webber in a ~wild wacky storm~ and woke up alone in the constant proper #he is like soooo fucking miserable like all the time hes constantly feeling phantom pain and remebers just enough to know hes missing smth #and it only gets worse after he and abby are reunited because despite this being the one person he can vaguely remember being important to #him he cant seem to feel that same sense of familiarity he remembers feeling before and it just makes him more miserable #this ofc makes abby also freak out and since her way of dealing with things she doesnt know how to deal with is hard denial it gets worse #I <3 tragic siblings #but yeah wendy mostly copes with his situation by mangling critters into fucked up drone things to feel in control of smth #asside from the abby situation tho in general things start slowly getting better after he joins the other survivors #mostly just because he actually has to be like. a person. and while it is rly hard for him and he doesn't see himself as a person anymore #that doesnt stop unoticed progress from happening just due to the nature of being a person in a group of ppl who treat him as a person #and he and abby slowly start to bridge the gap between them but its very very rough for the first good while #its mostly a matter of abby calming down enough to realize that wendy is stressed out by this just as much if not more
