Iβve decided to create a collective masterpost that links to my separate series masterposts, since Iβm creating fanworks for more dramas than just The Untamed now. π
FANFICTION POSTING STATUS
Angsty SongXue: POSTING (irregular schedule)
Xie'er Deserves the World: ON HIATUS
Yi City It Follows AU: ON HIATUS
Counter argument: Immortal, invisible, malevolent mouse
Ring slips around mouse’s neck and is gone.
The rest of the movie is just the 9 Nazgul trying to capture the mouse while the eye of Sauron watches an extended game of Mouse Trap unfolding before him.
also they should have put dean and cas in a literal closet. dean is hiding in a closet during a case, hiding from a ghost or something, and cas teleports right next to him. dean can barely hold back a very high pitched scream.
they have the personal space talk right after this
“Dude,” Dean hisses.
“Why are we in a closet?” Cas asks, brow furrowed, as near as he can tell in the dim light coming through the closet doors.
“I am in a closet because I’m hiding from a vampire,” he snaps in a whisper. “I dunno why the fuck you’re here.”
“I’m here because you’re here.” Cas looks around. “This man owns far too many ties.”
“He’s in business. It’s a prerequisite.” Dean is, for a second, grateful that it’s Cas who’s in here and not Sam, because Sam would have busted his balls for busting out a four dollar word like prerequisite. “Cas-“
“Where’s Sam?”
“I don’t know. Somewhere in the house. Cas-“
“Dean.” Cas takes a few steps forwards. “It is imperative-“
“Cas,” Dean says. “I’m on a hunt.”
“The fate of all mankind is far more pressing, don’t you think?”
“Easy for you to say, I’m the one with his ass on the line with Edward Cullen out there.”
Cas squints. “I don’t understand that reference.”
Dean huffs and glowers at Cas. Cas takes another couple steps, so close that Dean could count each individual eyelash, if he was so inclined.
Not that he is so inclined.
“Do angels have any concept of personal space?” He asks, trying to distract himself from the funny way the dim light strikes Cas’ very blue eyes.
“Not particularly.”
“You should learn.”
Cas squints again, nose scrunching a little. “Is your plan to survive the apocalypse in this closet?”
Dean scowls. “Alright, you know what, you can kiss my-“
The doors fly open and the vampire lunges. Dean lets out what he’d deny was a yelp, scrambling for a weapon.
Cas reaches out, grabs the top of the vampire’s hair, and yanks his head off his body.
Dean stares, first at the corpse on the ground and then at the head dangling from Cas’ fingers.
“Dude,” he says again, a little awed in spite of himself.
“We have business to discuss,” Cas says. “Find Sam.”
Speak of the Devil (poor choice of words, maybe), Sam comes skittering in. He gapes at the body of the vampire and then at the head.
“Oh. Hey, Cas.”
“Hello, Sam.” Cas drops the head. “We should go. I have things to discuss with you.”
Cas sweeps out of the bedroom. Sam looks at Dean.
“Did Cas rip the head off that guy?” He whispers.
“Yes. Yes he did.”
“Huh.” Sam shakes his head. “Fucked up.”
“I dunno,” Dean mumbles as they go to follow Cas out of the house. “Pretty cool, I thought.”
so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”
but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.
ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.
if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

@cinemairon Thank you for the help and for the tips x3
So, Boris Johnson wrote an essay in which he talked about the Sistine Chapel and then said :Β βThere is nothing like it in Muslim art of that or any age, not just because it is beyond the technical accomplishment of Islamic art, but because it is so theologically offensive to Islam.β
BITCH
NOT TO MENTION the fact that the prohibition against direct images in Islam was actually the reason for the development of the incredible advances in higher mathematics of the Islamic Golden Age because they were required to create these structures. The Islamic World basically took the ban on images as aΒ βhold my beerβ thing and created an entire artistic culture based on mathematics and architecture where art and science fed into and glorified each other, 700 years before the Italian Renaissance.
In conclusion
i will say that islamic art drove me nuts as a kid because i did not have the math knowledge or capability to create such geometric patterns. it may have been the art of my people but by gOD it was difficult and unnecessarily difficult. however my pride in islamic art is neverending. it was frowned upon to be vain in the house, so artists would deck out the places of worship - but places of worship couldn’t be too garishly decorated, or it might detract from worship! the compromise? calm blues and greens, intricate details hidden into the complex patterns. carefully mapped out and planned patterns that were beyond complex and straight into deliberately confusing and practically impossible to replicate. not only that, but verses from the Quran were hidden along the walls, asking god for blessings and care.
muslim art is stunning and i’ll fight the bitch that says otherwise.
Also something underappreciated about the Islamic art is that not only is it geometrically incredible, but the geometry and structure of it has a purpose. In the niches and ceilings, the cascading ornamentation is used for acoustic purposes. In many of the mosques, they are so well laid out and designed that a single person standing on a specific spot can speak/sing/pray and be heard in every single part of the building.
I feel like this should be considered under the same heading as “fascists don’t like abstract art.”
Like, that’s a whole thing. If you look at the art favored by dictators and fascists, it’s almost entirely portraits and landscapes. (Nice, serene, pastoral landscapes, though. None of that war-torn realism stuff.) Rarely still-lifes, unless there’s also a person in the picture. It’s literally common enough to be considered a phenomenon. And while Islamic art isn’t abstract in the sense we usually use the word, it certainly does not include portraits or serene pastoral landscapes.
Just, you know. Considering who said this. Something to consider.
