it ever hit you out of nowhere that castiel is living in a dead guy's body and the show just does not care. it does not care. jimmy novak might as well not exist the moment he or claire is out of sight. cas stole a guy's body and his face and his life, and we can't ever talk about it or discuss it in detail because of how fucking horrifying it is that sam and dean's best friend just walks around in a dead guy suit. there's not even a human soul in there anymore. it's just a corpse. stone-cold body snatcher indeed.

#castiel spn #spn #this is not like a Castiel Crime (tm) to be clear. this is more me being (un)surprised that the show is Like This.#castiel is a horror story he is so much a horror story in the rapture #and then they just uh. never bring up again how horrifying and fucked up this is for another like 7 seasons #and when they do its to briefly go :( claire lost her dad :) but its okay! she forgives cas for it!#which!! NO SHE SHOULD FUCKING NOT!!!#but we can't have that discussion. we can't talk about that. because to acknowledge that it's fucked up would mean making cas kind of. evil #in a way that would vastly improve his later character arcs btw. if we had to reckon with not only this massive transgression #but with the fact that cas himself STILL DOESN'T SEE IT AS ONE.#that on a lot of fundamental levels. he is still functioning as he did in s4. a lot of that base programming is still there.#something something how cas never changes out of his suit under his trenchcoat #but it's like. jimmy said yes. so it's fine. that's what it is to him.#anyway. i wish they hadn't been scared of making all three of the boys more fucked up in later seasons.#thank GOD for dean being interesting in how he becomes Worse <3 because they were not bringing that for castiel.#again. good version of spn where jimmy's bloodline is an off-shoot of the lucifer vessel bloodline. explaining a) how lucifer Got In There #and b) letting lucifer possess claire later so that the two of them can have daddy issues together.#something about cas being the monster-not monster that jimmy let in that destroyed his life.#something about lucifer being the monster-not monster that castiel lets in later. the cycles. they are cycling.

In 2011, I started writing a thing, on a whim. In 2013, I finished it. A lot of people seemed to love it? Then over the next decade, I put a lot of work into expanding and editing it, with plans for a complete physical book release that didn't happen. Well, here it is again. As an internet novel. A finished novel, this time.

I will start posting the story on May 21st, 2024. May 22nd will be a day of rest. And then, from May 23rd until October 21st, every day will see a new chapter-- a new log. ("F-Five months?? How long is this novel?" Oh yeah, good point. That won't actually get us to the end. There may be another eight, ten days of chapters afterwards. It is important, however, to emphasize the May 21 - October 21 model.)

I will make sure to put the bulk of the contents under "Read More" breaks, so each log won't clutter your browsing experience.

The logs will have art in them. Not as much as in the original draft, but there will still be some. As of May 1st, I expect art by Rappu, RealaChao, Wiratomkinder, and Vis.

I plan on supplementing the logs with the occasional post talking about the making and intention of the story. I dunno, it's gonna be a five-month distribution period, I'm gonna get antsy during that and am gonna want to ramble. That'll be separate content, though.

And when the story is fully and completely posted on tumblr, I will release the full novel on my Website, where I like to keep the rest of my creations. Both the tumblr novel and the Website novel will be free reading, forever. I reserve the right to try again at a paid physical edition afterwards.

So! That's it. Rapture is coming. OH GOD THE RAPTURE IS BURNING is coming.

Trigger Warnings: Sex, Gods, and Rock & Roll. (violence. some swear words. teenage angst, cringe. death. insects. surrealism. symbolism. unpredictability of what will be explained and what won't. sexual acts with dubious consent-- you will be able to skip that part. religious iconography. and so much prog rock.)

Get ready for it.

#writing #tumblr novel #the fear mythos #you do not have to know anything about the fear mythos to read #books #i have worked on this for 13 years. you would be surprised at just how much work went into it.#horror #anti-horror #comedy #anti-comedy #'what the hell does that mean. anti-horror. anti-comedy.' rapture is sprawling and does not like to stay in one place.#rapture is like. honestly just my attempt at art. at making statements about genre and boundary and limit.#maybe i should say 'trigger warning: art' as a joke. but that sounds even more pretentious than anything else.#longpost #there... will be longposts. this longpost is nothing in comparison to what is to come.

going to bed thinking about him.

#im adding this as one of the things im grateful for today in my gratitude entry #i haven’t been able to move on and im not planning on moving on tbh #i have the image of him sitting on the train with his lil notebook and jacket on the seat next to him #with his sunglasses on and his soft unstyled HAIR #he’s just a little guy on a train. I shouldn’t be so in raptures but here i am.#he looks so soft and content and that’s what i wish for him

i know we all rightfully love the bj and hawkeye shot that came before these, but the shots at the end of deluge while the pa announcer reads off the meritorious unit commendation they earned are so good

#the one of radar with his cracked glasses finally getting to sleep #and the patients listening rapturously to mulcahy reading to them #are just. very dear to me.#mash

They've lit fires for the night; just a few low-burning ones that everyone tells the children are for hiding from the monsters because it's not as scary as thinking too hard about their caravan's dwindling supplies. Pix is in one of his grimmer moods.

"What if," he says in an undertone, "our empires die with us, Joel?"

He and Pix are huddled at the edge of firelight, by the small wagons and hardy pack animals. (Pix volunteered for first watch, and Joel doesn't particularly want to look bad next to Pixandria's king.)

"I mean, I don't know about Pixandria, but Mezalea will," Joel says. "Lizzie-- Lizzie's not exactly here, is she?"

Pix turns his head from where it was tipped toward the stars, and the fresh wave of grief that washes across his face feels nearly tangible. (Where does he get off acting like the whole world's mourning has to be his, anyway?)

"There's no one...?" Pix shakes his head, cracks a mirthless smile. "Sorry, that's a terrible question."

"Won't be. Won't ever be." Joel shrugs. "Figured I'd get people somewhere safe and... let them sort it out amongst themselves."

"Where would you go?"

"Well, let's not scare the children," Joel mutters.

"Your people need you."

Joel's sure Pix has said as much to himself more times than either of them can or will count. Because he isn't cruel, he doesn't say, Do they?

He says, "What about you, then? Anyone you wish were here?"

For just a tick, Pix looks stricken, as if it's a question with real consequences. As if either of them could really do that, could tear through time and space and haul out of the blood and wreckage one single person from thousands.

"I think I could sit here for a thousand years searching for their names and I would still fall short." Pix runs a hand through his beard. Idly, Joel wonders if he's cleaned his hands since this afternoon.

One of the Mezaleans, earlier today, tipped over the side of a wagon like a fish tumbling out of a bucket. A burial, someone insisted. We have to have a burial.

So they had a burial, and looking at his hands, coated in the grime of the badlands, Joel glanced at Pix's hands and thought, Ha. We match.

At any rate, it's clear Pix understands the importance of letting other people mourn properly. It's strange to Joel that he won't extend the same courtesy to himself. Joel's no good at it, but he's here, still. He's counting it for something.

"I'm sorry about..." Pix doesn't finish the sentence, doesn't even seem to notice that the sentence went unfinished.

"Yeah," Joel says. "Me too."

#sparrowsong #one time i thought about a version of this scene too hard and got so sad i felt vaguely physically ill #pix and joel escape the rapture etc etc it's done this is the whole thing i don't have more to add here

I cannot express the anger I experience being unable to do anything about anything while Christians salivate over the idea of the Israel-Hamas conflict being a sign of the Rapture

#anyways Free Palestine #Hamas attacked innocent people #The Israeli government is terrorizing innocent civilians that just want the right to live #Jewish people deserve to have land where they are safe to go to if there is another rise in antisemitic attacks in their current home #Palestinians deserve to have their homeland respected and safe for them to live on #All of these statements can be true at the same time #and I say all of this from the safe comfort of the US #I am not the one that you should listen to about the situation.#I am not the one who you should trust to give correct information about what is going on because I get the same information you do #We should be listening to Palestinians and the Israeli civilians affected #And unfortunately the news in the US is based on Christians who want nothing more than to escalate this #They do not want to recognize Palestinians unless it brings about a world war that triggers the Rapture #And I am enraged by it #I know people currently living in Israel #I know students from Palestine #And I am infuriated by christians treating them like pawns in their little Jesus War #These are people. These are fucking people #They are friends and family and lovers and so much more #I genuinely cannot express just how frustrated I am by my inability to do anything as I sit in safety #If you get nothing else from this post please listen to Palestinians and the war crimes they've experienced for decades now #If you get nothing else please listen to Israeli civilians begging for their government to stop escalating this conflict #Please listen to Jewish people and Muslims when they say shit like this increases violence against them around the world #Anyways I'm at the doctor and someone had CNN on and I'm tired #antisemitism tw #islamophobia tw #israel-hamas war tw #rapture tw

the anger and hatred i feel for the "robin wouldn't date nancy cause of steve" rhetoric is literally unmatched by any other force on planet earth

#I will murder each and every one of you with a chainsaw this isn't even about shipping this is about the way you guys talk about shit #I will fucking have your head I will grow a garden of violets and lavender and use your mashed up bones as fertilizer #I will drown you in a pool of your own blood #I will carpet bomb your house I will visit a rage upon you so horrendous it will make the rapture look like a nice family vacation #I want you people to eat shit #<-that. is all copypasted from discord bitching #but anyway. steve has moved the fuck on and if he hasn't he should it's been like 2 years #and while there's obviously a statute of limitations on dating friend's exes st*ncy ending has exceeded that #now we're at the point where it would only matter if it was a shitty ex which nancy is NOT.#“she broke steve's heart🥺” this literally ain't about him idc quit making robin's dating life about steve #also you guys just don't get lesbians if anyone is gonna date a friend's ex it IS a lesbian #you literally don't have to like ronance but I am so tired of people talking about it like this situation would be wrong somehow #they're literally already friends dating isn't even that much of a jump #also you guys have no sense of fun I like messy shit you could make that messy if you wanted #stranger things #ronance #anyway. tis the misogyny hydra again I think

new contender for funniest book quote:

Just Fontaine seeing Tenenbaum dissociating in front of him and thinking: "she looks AWFUL. I should bone her. I bet that would make her feel better. She keeps rejecting me tho. WHICH DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL (blatant lie)"

#bioshock #bioshock rapture #frank fontaine #brigid tenenbaum #fontbaum #cardboard cutouts #SORRY ITS SO FUNNY SHDFJSHDFKSDHFKJDSF #book fontaine is so funny. one of the better characters.#if only the book would let him have original thoughts tho sjdfksdlf

rewatching Supernatural but this time I pay attention to all the cities they drive to and how long it takes from one city to another by car pt1.

Season 4 ep 20: The Rapture.

at the end of this episode Sam and Dean drive from Pontiac, Illinois to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When they arrive at Bobby's house, he just says "thanks for shaking a tail". but it's a freaking 8-hour drive. The boys starts driving at night but it's unclear at what time they arrive at Bobby's.

God, how I wish they gave us just ONE episode completely about how tiresome all this driving is, all the issues inherently connected to this lifestyle, how Sam needs to stop every 2 hours otherwise his gigantic legs start aching (this is just my hc but I know it in my bones that's true) ... I'd love it hahaha!

#rewatching Supernatural but this time I pay attention to all the cities they drive to and how long it takes from one city to another by car #supernatural #spn season 4 #spn #dean winchester #sam winchester #spn the rapture #spn s4e20 #these guys are insane #I think about their knees all the time lol #bobby singer #spn rewatch #supernatural rewatch

do people who weren't raised evangelical Know that the main reason why so many evangelical christians support israel is bc they see israel as a pawn in enacting a prophesy to bring back jesus and cause the apocalypse? bc that's very much A Thing

#eliot posts #exvangelical #christianity cw #it's fucking BATSHIT and cartoonishly evil but it was a real fucking thing we were taught growing up baptist #''support israel so that the battle of armageddon can happen and then we can have the second coming of christ''#(all the while hating jews + believing that they will burn in hell for not following jesus)#antisemitism mention #rapture mention #current events #for more information you can look up christian zionism #i think understanding christian zionism is very important in understanding why the usa (espexially the right wing) is Like This w israel #it's not the ONLY reason (ie oil lobbying and the military industrial complex also play a role)#but it's a big one

can i offer you a singular lagombi gauntlet in this trying time

#this costume is making my blood pressure rise to unsafe levels #its not really the costumes fault per se its just that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong on this project and its been a grind #just a bitter slog and tbh i have no idea whats going to be on the other side #and work has been crazy so i can only work on it in little chunks so its just managing one problem after another slowly and bitterly #also my apartment looks like several furries got raptured in their fursuits and dissolved into a carpet of polyester fiber
