November 5, 2023 - If you know, you know. If you don't, log off now and save yourself.
Tumblr media
It's been 16 years [x] since the WGA strike of 2007 set a chain of events that led to Castiel the angel saying he loved Dean Winchester and promptly dying exactly 13 years later on the night of November 5, 2020, nowadays known as the destielputinelection night.
It's been three years. For some, the night of November 5, 2020 has become no more than a blur of chaos, whilst for others, the memories of that day remain as vivid and raw as back then, even three years later.
It's time to make peace with the fact that there will be no peace. The ghost of destiel has not left and has contaminated the internet, going so far as to causing Supernatural to trend solely because of the use of the Destiel meme to convey the news [x] [x] [x].
Just this morning, it contributed to Putin trending on the hellsite alongside BBC Sherlock.
Tumblr media
At this point we might as well just accept our fate.

i started putting this in the tags of another post and then it was too much so here we are but; i think one of the big problems with fic recs on tiktok is that fanfic authors have no control over how their fics are being presented or what other media they're being put in conversation with and this sometimes results in people reading the fics that were recommended and feeling they did not get the story they were promised. And when this happens the person they get mad at is not the person who recommended the fic but the author. it takes on this very transactional tone of "i did not get the service i was promised" or "you sold this to me using false advertising" which is a) yet another way fanfiction is being packaged and understood as a commodity and b) is not what happened, fanfic authors have no control over how other people present their fics to you or how the fandom has decided to talk about their fics etc. etc. etc.
another thing that fic recs tend to do, is come in list formats, very "top five fics you have to read" or "the best wolfstar fics" or "my favourite fics ranked in order" which creates a hierarchy that should just not exist in fandom. at least in my personal opinion. and lots of times, even if the video itself is respectful, the comment sections are not. and they will tear down the fics on the list that they feel like don't deserve to be there or should have been ranked lower etc. etc. which i think is just like, idk, in bad taste?? and fostering conversations and attitudes i don't think belong in this space. and not for nothing, but i personally hate it when people compare me and my friends and like, pit us against one another? like i know i'm being a baby but i can't help it. it feels awful and it makes me anxious. so it's like, yes, of course, i love it when people recommend my stories because it's so lovely and flattering and makes this feel like a big book club. but the flip side of that is i hate it when people present my stories as products that you "just have to buy" or make promises about them that i have never made, or use them to put down other fics. which i fear is almost an inevitable part of recommending fics on tiktok where the rec video itself is content that they are trying to sell, to get views and likes, so they need a hook, they need something to make it interesting, and fanfic authors a lot of the time i think, end up being the victims of that. which isn't me saying that no one should recommend fics on tiktok. or that people who do are somehow doing something wrong. cause i dont think either of those statements are true. but i do think that these are things that the people making these videos aren't necessarily considering, and that maybe, it would be good if they did????? I DON"T KNOW I DIDN"T REALLY COME UP WITH A CONCLUDING ARGUMENT I"M SO SORRY thanks for coming 2 my tedtalk

inside the sealed envelope with the application form were a collection of sticky notes and printed photographs. they had scribbled handwriting all over them..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
daithí murray for @rainymoodlet​​’s daniel | bio under cut
Tumblr media
name: daithí murray
age: 46
traits: lazy | party animal | bro
height: 5′8
applying for role as a contestant
daithí is a single dad living in henford with his teenage daughter felicity. they’ve got a quaint house on a quiet road with an open garden.
things had always been rocky with his long term girlfriend. hoping that things would get better between them when felicity came along, they soon realised that things just weren't going to work. they split up not long after felicity turned four, and daithí decided it was best for her to stay with him because her mother travels for work. nowadays they co-parent with felicity staying with him on the weekdays.
daithí is a veteran daniel stan. he’s been following daniel’s career since before his big popularity boom. he has very proudly collected every single episode of ‘your dad’s garage’ and has them neatly arranged in order of their release date. he bought a very pricey signed poster on e-bay that probably isn’t even legit and he has a little backyard space dedicated to crafting items made on the show. he’s not great but he tries! he doesn’t really watch them for the carpentry tips anyways, there are more interesting things to look at in the show.. 👀 he also made some bootleg merch from a t-shirt printing store that says “#1 daniel fan” 
Tumblr media
up until last year daithí worked as a caretaker for the library across the road. he had no problem with the job but decided to give it up to pursue his hobby as a career. he’s always had a passion for drink making, and now runs his own craft beer business from his backyard. he sells it on to local pubs and its been pretty successful!
seeing as he works from his garden and he’s in the house alone on the weekends, he decided to partner up with the nearby vet shelter to take some dogs off their hands. he fosters puppies and tries his best to house train them alongside his own four dogs. the place is usually pretty hectic with dogs doing zoomies throughout the whole house but it’s something he’ll never regret getting himself into.
daithí has absolutely no idea any of this is happening. he doesn’t know what ‘kiss me in komorebi’ is, nor does he understand the concept of a bachelor challenge. felicity’s decided not to tell him about the application unless he secures a place, fearing that he might get his hopes up too much. 
some fun facts:
everyone always asks him what the meaning behind his face tattoo is. he tells them that it’s a very personal and meaningful reason that he’d rather not share, when in reality he just got it on a drunken night out as a teenager.
he’s the calloway twin’s uncle on their mom’s side. cillian thinks he’s cool but cathal is scared of him. he thinks he’s too loud 😭
he has the strongest accent in the family, and it’s really bad. like it’s difficult to understand what he’s even saying if you don’t know him.
felicity really wanted a septum piercing for her birthday one year, but she was too scared to get it done. daithí made a promise to her that he’d get it done with her so she wouldn’t be as nervous. so now they’ve got matching piercings!
if he does get a part in the show, it’s going to be very difficult to get him to do any of the ‘outdoor enthusiast’ challenges that the producers might have in store. he absolutely hates the cold and is very much a comfort zone kinda guy when it comes to danger.
he’s a big grump in the mornings, but a cup of tea will usually fix that.
also dear lovely shan i hope you don’t mind i used your pic for the poster and tshirt! ❤️ but this was so much fun to make. i’m looking forward to kmik even if daithí doesn’t make it!!! it’s gonna be so good i can already feel it. everything abt it is just mmmwah, not to mention daniel.. what a hottie

the thing about the dudebro discussion, the aita post, the willingness to just take at face value any accusations directed at a person you don't know, is that it's all so painfully transparent, it's so obvious that those conversations are happening at this scale specifically because it's about trans women. maybe it's just me, but you generally shouldn't be using certain terms for people unless you know that they are comfortable with them, and if you fucked up then apologize and move on (if we pretend for a second that the majority of dudebros weren't feign ignorance or just actively malicious to begin with). you should be aware that some things don't affect you the same way they affect other people, and you definitely shouldn't be giving those people potentially dangerous advice on topics that you personally aren't familiar with, this is the baseline, at least don't fucking put other people who were misled into trusting you in danger. and if an anon barges into your inbox with some wild accusations then you should stop and think "hey, why are you coming to me anonymously with no evidence to back any of this up, and in such a way that i have to reply to you publicly so more people get to see this" regardless of who it's directed at. like, those are all pretty simple things, or they should be at least, but because the targets are trans women and transmisogyny is so fucking rampant everyone has to bend over backwards to come up with excuses as to why treating trans women this way is perfectly normal and justified.

one important thing about work emails is that whoever you send them to can forward them to anyone else, or reply to you and copy other people. so if you're going to talk about a third party in your email, only say things you would be okay with the third party reading. because people can and will just suddenly CC brand new people on a long email chain, who will then be able to backread anything you've ever said in any of your previous responses that you were sending to only one person. word to the wise.
#i mention this because this just happened to me today BUT it was fine because i already do this#i was writing to client A and mentioned client B who has been making both of our lives harder#but because it's my policy never to trash talk one client to another client (they all know each other btw)#(and some of them are contractors for others of them)#the thing that i said about client B was not something i had to then regret a few days later#when client A for some fucking reason CC'd client B in her response to me#i worded it like 'i'm sorry this has been so hectic and last-minute. it took me a while to understand what client B wanted.'#which has the virtue of being true and also not denigrating client B in any way even though what i meant was#'client B has been so confusing in everything he has said to me that i couldn't give you any advance warning'#but i didn't SAY that. so we're golden#the thing is you will be SO tempted SO often to tell someone that something is a third party's fault#because it will often be a third party's fault!!!!! but you must resist every time. especially in writing#<-this is not universal advice bc sometimes you need to stand up for yourself or whatever. i just mean in venting situations#no venting to clients about other clients. sometimes you need to vent with them in order to build rapport and get them to see you as#an ally rather than an obstacle but you cannot vent ABOUT other people. they can do it but you can't. you have to find other things#to vent about#my posts

I've watched and adored Encanto, Wolfwalkers, Across the Spider-Verse, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. All absolutely incredible animated films that I'm sure will be held up as classics even 20 years from now.
With that said, Nimona is frankly a good step above all of them and my choice for animated film of the decade so far (at least for what I've heard of). An absolutely stellar film on every level. Do yourself a favor and watch it all on YouTube these next few days!
youtube
Does it stand a chance at the Oscars? Absolutely not, especially since even the Annies were dominated by Spider-Man. But it would absolutely deserve to. (And again, I adore Spider-Verse and still think it's 100% worthy of the Oscar on its own. It's basically the reverse of the Puss in Boots vs. Pinocchio situation last year. They're both masterpieces, only this time the slightly better masterpiece is almost certainly gonna get left in the cold.)

(This meta went from being one structured thought to a lot of rambling about Kieren and Rick, so I’m sorry.)
I wonder if Kieren would have ended up staying with Rick if Bill Macy hadn’t killed him.
Kieren’s resurrection after his suicide means he has a chance to start up again where he left off. When he first comes back that doesn’t really mean anything to him; he didn’t want to be alive in the first place, he’s scared and alone and uncertain and as far as he knows, everything is still as shitty as it was when he left, plus now everyone also hates him because he’s PDS. He meets Amy and that puts some light back into his life, of course.
But the revelation that Rick is also back is massive at first, because it means that the Rising not only undid what Kieren did to himself, but what happened to make him do that in the first place. He’s not starting where he left off, he’s backing up even further.
To Kieren, this is a chance at a do-over. He can rekindle his relationship with Rick and maybe it’ll be better this time and maybe they can be more than they were before and do more than they did before.
Only, Rick sees it in essentially the opposite way. He’s more beholden to his father, and the only times he does stand up to Bill is when Kieren is in (potentially) mortal danger. Kieren tells Rick more than once that he doesn’t have to listen to Bill or do what he says and Rick responds with “He’s my dad” or gives him a look or whatever.
Rick is 100% right when he says Kieren shouldn’t blame him for his own death. But Kieren is also 100% right when he accuses Rick of not saying goodbye (and implies that it’s not the first time something like that has happened) and without saying it outright essentially accuses him of leading him on.
Which is why I feel like if Rick had lived, Kieren would have ended up leaving anyway. Every single scene has Rick unable to meet Kieren emotionally. Rick is not wholly to blame; he was under Bill’s abusive, controlling thumb before and he is again now. But even the brief scene when they’re alone, Rick can’t meet Kieren where Kieren needs him to. Kieren loves Rick, but he has an independent, rebellious, self-aware streak that Rick doesn’t have. He wants to fit in, sure, but he also can’t help but stand up and call bullshit if he thinks that needs to happen. And I think if Rick had lived, Kieren would have been less and less interested in hiding, in trying not to rock the boat, in having their relationship confined to the den or the dead of night or “day trips” or whatever.
This was supposed to be a do-over, starting again from before they left off. In fact, starting again from when Rick left off, not Kieren. But Rick is unable to to change the cycle while he’s still alive, and I wonder if he’d ever be able to even if he stayed alive. Because that conversation in the car, and the confrontation in front of the cave, all of that reveals to Kieren that maybe the do-over isn’t all that worth it, because he’s not being treated like it’s worth it. Rick is treating him just as distantly as he was before -- maybe even more distantly, since his relationship with Kieren and Kieren’s feelings for him are 100% confirmed by Kieren’s death, so maybe he’s trying even more to hide their relationship now that it’s known. And he now has this outsider perspective of Amy to show him what she sees and thinks about it, and I think even in the brief time Kieren and Rick have together in series 1 he’s already kind of frustrated that nothing seems to have changed for the better. The good thing is that Rick is back, and it certainly hasn’t been long enough that his love for Rick has waned in any way, but I think his expectations went from “What’s the point of coming back when I wanted to go anyway?” to “If Rick is back we can start over again and things will be better.” And when things aren’t better, when they’re the same as they were before and in fact are maybe even worse because now their relationship is out there which means Bill is watching for it even more, that massive upswing Kieren experienced is now deflating with each pinprick of frustration or disappointment or physical threat or whatever.
So if Rick had lived for this to be a proper do-over, Kieren would have expected change, would have expected something that would make their past actions and their present state worth it, or that would change the path they had been on before to some other, more positive direction. Would Rick have been able to do that?
I don’t think Rick ever expected to have a sustainable future with Kieren. He sort of says so in the car when he talks about Kieren getting into art school and leaving for “new places, new people.” But it’s not even the expectation that Kieren would have a future and he wouldn’t or something like that. Aside from Rick’s fear of his father, I don’t think he was ever comfortable enough in himself and his own feelings to be as in love with Kieren as Kieren was with him, and I think he either expected for Kieren to go away to uni and find someone else, or for Kieren to go away to uni and Rick would gradually be able to comfortably distance himself.
Because Rick had friends in Roarton, had a social life and some sort of positive status in school and in the town, in a way that Kieren obviously did not. Kieren talks like Rick was quite literally the only thing he had in all of Roarton that was keeping him grounded and who accepted him and even bothered to speak to him. He talks like without Rick he was completely alone. But it also means that Rick’s friendship with Kieren, in the eyes of the rest of Roarton, was a weird little black spot on his otherwise acceptable self. So if Kieren went away to art school, found someone new who loved him as much or more and could actually express and match it, Rick would have been able to just continue to exist in Roarton. The hiccup of course is always Bill, and would Rick be able to even have a happy existence in Roarton always under his father’s eye and thumb, I don’t know.
But it certainly seems as though he was very aware of the intensity of Kieren’s feelings for him and the way his own for Kieren didn’t match in strength. (Side note: I’ve always wanted to know if Kieren was at all self-aware of being in Rick’s shoes re: Simon’s feelings for him at the start.) And they were both young and I’m sure it was something Rick both didn’t understand how to and just plain couldn’t handle. Especially when something like that was so obvious to someone like Bill. So his own escape to Preston (whether forced by Bill or by his own will) is not only an escape from Bill but also an escape from having to confront Kieren’s feelings for him and his for Kieren.
And since Rick didn’t know about Kieren’s death until he was already back in Roarton, his reaction to the lack of letters as well as the comments about what he expected Kieren to be finding at uni means that he fully expected to return to find a (living) Kieren who had moved on from him or at least whose all-consuming inferno of love had cooled to easier to maintain coals. Perhaps he even expected to return to no Kieren at all, since it’s 5 years later and Kieren could easily have stayed in whatever city he would have gone to art school in.
Instead he finds a Kieren who has not only not moved on, but who died because of his feelings for him (among other things). Is Rick able to give Kieren the kind of do-over he wants at this time? I doubt it. Would he have ever been able to give Kieren the kind of love that he wanted? I sort of doubt that as well. Even without the stifling, toxic influence of Bill, I think Rick’s love for Kieren was much tamer, more casual.
But Kieren’s intense love and need for that love to be returned also means that I think he would have been much more aware of the things that he wasn’t getting in this do-over situation. The first time, he was just taking whatever he could get. This time, it’s obvious that he wants to be able to be with Rick (literally and metaphorically) in certain ways and he’s going to push until that happens, more than he did before, and I think if his pushing affected no change he would have eventually said “fuck this.” Not because he doesn’t love Rick just as much the second time around, but because I think he gives slightly less of a fuck about how people see him, since he’s already been through that pain once and he’s still gay and still an outcast the way he was before and he’s PDS on top of it all. Rick still very much cares about how people see him. Especially his dad. And if none of that is able to change and somehow meet Kieren in the middle, he’s going to realize that it’s just never going to happen and he’s going to have to deal with that disappointment and then he’s going to say “fuck this.” Because the benefit of this second life is the chance to change things and I think he kind of already has that thought in his head to some extent, and if he’s the only one trying to take advantage of this second chance and it’s not being reciprocated with the same energy, he’s not going to be able to emotionally stand the stagnation, even if he desperately wants to. And I think if his trajectory still wound up in a similar place that he is at the start of series 2, he’d be self-aware enough not to want to stay because there’s a difference between wanting to escape and wanting to grow, and Kieren before his death was the former but Kieren after, especially in series 2, is definitely the latter.

Let's try and unravel this
Why fake his death? To force the minor family into acting. Korn knows there will be losses but doesn't care. If he pushes Kan into attacking then he has the perfect excuse to reveal that Namphueng is still alive in front of everyone and most importantly control the narrative. Then he can kill Kan, the traitor, before he is contradicted. Keep everyone in a state of emotional imbalance so they believe what you're saying. Kill anyone that might dispute it.
Tumblr media
This THIS is the mystery for season 2. What was Kan about to reveal that Korn couldn't allow Kinn and Porsche to know? I have lots of speculations.
Then Korn has dealt with the traitor and shows mercy to his son as proof that all of this has been for the sake of his family: his foster sister, his sons, his nephews.
Tumblr media
There's no doubting that removing Vegas and making Porsche the head of the minor family was Korn setting up his chessboard how he wanted from the beginning. It was risky after Kan told his version of events but Porsche's memories are so scrambled, like Thee said it's easy to convince him he saw something different to what he did. We see throughout the episode different versions of the memory/flashback, but history is written by the victor.
("It's your fault for knowing too much" is implied to be the real memory, which only appears in the version where Korn is the shooter. Because that version was Kan telling the story it's unclear how much Porsche can really put this together.)
Korn now holds all the cards against Porsche. He has his mother, he no doubt knows where Chay is, he has Kinn's loyalty and he's the only one alive apart from Namphueng who can give him answers. Porsche has no choice but to accept. And while I don't want to speculate too much (lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Porsche still does not define himself as a mafia leader or as loyal to either family. I think Porsche knows he's being manipulated. He broke away from the main family once to find answers, but he can't risk doing it again when Korn holds so much against him. Korn has what he wants: a united family ALL under his control but I think he's underestimated Porsche. He won't stop looking for answers.
Tumblr media
Whatever Korn's secrets, Namphueng also knows. She is the lynchpin in all this that could send Korn tumbling.
Oh and as a bonus:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What did Korn and Kim talk about last episode.
I think Korn told him he was going to fake his death, and that's what this look between him and Chan means. Our Kimothy is notoriously hard to read, but I think he feels exceptionally guilty about putting his brothers through this grief. Why tell Kim his plan? Again, control the narrative. Kim was getting too close to something and whatever Korn said to him in this conversation either convinced him or threatened him back on side.

I don't necessarily support the reading that Crowley somehow wasn't aware of his own romantic feelings at all until confronted by Nina/Maggie but indulging for a moment bc it's really funny to imagine a reality where Aziraphale has known about his own feelings since 1941 and thinks they're on the same page of mutual unspoken agreement not to do anything about it while Crowley has no idea. Like Aziraphale truly said "you go too fast for me Crowley" with all the devastation of someone who knows what he's really saying and it went clear over Crowley's head. Can you fucking imagine. What did he think they were talking about
