Hello all! Let us see, what is there to report ... Things are a little better, well, hopefully. *knocks on wood* I don't know yet for sure for sure if everything is golden but I feel a little less stressed, so, bonus.

I posted a mix over at spretendn yesterday. Of all of the mixes I've made it's one of my favorites. Even if the character doesn't interest you, the music may very well be relevant to such.

Spent the bulk of today talking with baylorsr about Skip and Castiel being Q in our SPN/ST fusion 'verse. [FYI by Skip I mean Skip. You know, the Trickster by any other name.] It's been a lot of fun and may have involved Skip dressing them up as pirates.

Remember that DS9 episode where Sisko punched Q in the face and Q was all "Picard never punched me in the face" and Sisko was like "I'm not Picard." in that great Sisko way of his? Yeah, it's kind of like that, except for how Q was already in love with Picard so he just never felt like bothering Sisko again and Skip has all kinds of time to bother John and the Impala had Dean on it and, well, we all know what that means for Castiel.

Yeah, good times.

I don't really have much to say beyond that. I've kind of decided to ignore the wilds of fandom, they seem to be fairly screechy and offensive of late, what with all of their wanting to kill Lisa Braeden and screaming about how people pointing out their racist/sexist/transphobic stories/beliefs/actions/behaviors is oppressing them. I, just, seriously, what the fuck? I know there are a lot of stupid, privileged people out there but, damn, do they seem to be popping up all over the place this summer.

So yeah fandom, do what you've gotta do (and thank all that's holy for the awesome people who have stepped up and continue to step up to school these morons, you guys rock in every possible way). I'm going to be over here, playing quietly in my corner of the sandbox because there are only so many battles I can fight and RL is beating enough stuffing out of me as it is.

In conclusion: Winchesters in Space for all!!!!!!!

Thank you for this, seriously, and especially that it's coming from someone who is controversy-avoidant for reasons I totally understand. I've seen posts and comments (a lot from my own corner of fandom) on how the fans who post about the fails are ruining the fandom happy and I'm boggling because hey, maybe it's the *fails* that are ruining the fandom happy and maybe it upsets some of us to have fails in our shiny happy place and so we need to talk about it.

But very few people seem to get that.

Anyway, I hope real life stops beating the stuffing out of you.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! There are people who are pointing fingers at the people who are pointing out the fail and not the ones who are actually failing?

*headdesks* Of course there are. Just because you (the generic version) have the privilege to ignore fail-y behavior doesn't mean that other members of fandom should have to deal with slamming into it on any given day. Personally, I'd rather side with the people who are trying to make fandom a safer, more inclusive place for everyone, not with the people who are either failing or willing to ignore the pain the fail causes.

But yes, preaching to the choir. And we're at least having the discussion, which is something.

I've ignored "the wilds of fandom" for eight blissful years. :)

I kinda wish we had a picture of Skip dressed up as a pirate. Richard should do a pirate movie, just to make this happen for us. Or just wear that pirate costume Xander wore in the Halloween episode. Why is that the pirate outfit I see Skip wearing? I was gonna say here is a picture of what I see Castiel wearing and then insert a picture of a pirate costume that looks like I would wear and then the sister would prevent me from answering the door in and then I would complain that I was cold. But I thought it might scar you to actually see it and then picture it on Cas...so I didn't.

You know what they need? A space monkey. To sit on Skip's shoulder.
