lmao I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that being an adult means I’m no longer allowed to enjoy things. What am I supposed to be doing? Taxes? Canning peaches? Moving into a nursing home?
Believe it or not, getting older doesn’t mean you stop having fun or that you can’t have a multifaceted life that includes fandom. Pushing 30 doesn’t mean you have to be boring, and more to the point, the things that I enjoy are – and stick with me here – none of your fucking business.
Pretty sure I’m not the one who needs to grow up.
Anon would be stunned as hell to know that my parents watch GoT and Dad is the one who introduced me to anything from BtVS to TWD to SG1. Not to mention Dragonriders of Pern and other science fiction novels.

The densest people on the internet are the ones who say sci fi and fantasy are are getting too political. Why can’t we go back to the good old days of The Twilight Zone, with its various episodes about mob mentality and the danger of mass paranoia that totally weren’t about the Red Scare. Or Star Wars and its genocidal empire of racially homogeneous Aryan men. Or Dune with its religious tribal peoples who live in a desert that contains the galaxy’s most valuable resource and the wars with the foreign colonizers, that was purely from Frank Herbert’s imagination. Can you imagine how much Star Trek would suck if it was packed to the brim with ham-fisted allegories of every societal issue of the 20th century. Not like all this modern ultra-political stuff, like a woman hero.
Anyway so I’m calling Rep. Farenthold later to accept on Sen. Collin’s behalf and I’m choosing Fists. Can take place in Iowa because if two parties agree to mutual combat, under state law it is totally legal here.
And if he accepts yes I will stream that shit live don’t be silly.
And after I beat his ass once for Collins, I will duel him again on Murkowski’s behalf.
Square up, bitch.
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH GOD CSPAN BOUT TO BE LIT

SO I CALLED HIS DC OFFICE AND SAID BASICALLY THE SAME THING I SENT VIA EMAIL.
After about 20 seconds of dead silence, the staffer let out kinda a little laugh and said “Well ma’m, I’ll be happy to pass on your…”
“I’m not joking.”
“Ma’m?”
“You think I’m joking. I am dead serious. You want my address? Or I’ll meet him at the airport. I am absolutely serious about this. Oh, and as the challenged party, I get to pick weapons. I choose fists.”
Another 20 seconds of somehow even deeper silence.
“I…I’ll pass your challenge on to the congressman.”
“No. He issued the challenge. I’m accepting. Unless he’s backing out like the spineless coward he is.”
More silence. “I…I’ll let Congressman Farenthold know, ma’m.”
“You do that.”
ANYWAY SO HOW DID YOU ALL SPEND YOUR LUNCH BREAK TODAY.
HOLY MOTHER
OF CHUCK! I just rewatched 12×02 and noticed something I didn’t when the
episode aired. Lady Toni Bevell insinuated Dean was not straight.
She thought
she knew Sam and Dean. When torturing Sam, there was a moment when she told him
this:
I would
like names and locations of every Hunter… the passcodes to each and every Men
of Letters database held in the bunker, and then – oh, yes – let’s do discuss your relationship with the
demon Ruby.
After the
ridiculous hallucination Lady Bevell gave Sam, it’s not surprising she mentioned
Ruby. She probably thought that sex was the easiest way to get Sam to
cooperate. The interesting thing is that, according to her, she used the same
kind of information with Dean later in the episode. This is what she told Dean:
See, I
thought you might be on for a little
chat about your mate, Benjamin Lafitte. I’m sorry. You called him Benny.
You know, the vampire whom you released from Purgatory and… befriended.
What caught
my attention was the little pause she made before she uttered the word “befriended”.
I know the word “mate” can be used to refer to male friends, but that’s not the
only possible meaning.
You see? The thing is the contempt Lady Bevell showed
when she said that word along with the ‘befriended’ part. (How many queer people have heard the word “friend” casually said when the conversation is about their partner?)
You can say that of
course she would see Dean’s friendship with Benny as something worth of rejection. Dean was
a hunter and he became friends with a vampire, a monster that Dean was supposed
to kill, no questions asked.
But… don’t
you see the parallel? Tony Bevell mentioned Ruby and that was a call back to Sam’s
sexual relationship with her. Then she mentioned Benny and that was a call back
to Dean’s…buddy-buddy relationship with him?
All I’m
saying is that, subtextually, even the British Men of Letters thought Dean wasn’t
straight.
