castielfest is DONE, baby, BOOM, baby, chyyyeeeaaahhh. Here is the masterlist, which consists of 11 fanarts and 83 fanfics HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. AH CASFEST, I remember when you were but a germ of an idea being batted around chat. Won't you look at you now! If you had cheeks, I'd pinch 'em!
For Casfest I received an excellent fic from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gabby_silang called Elysium, which is everything I've always wanted from expat!Cas. It is rarefied and sharp, and I love it so. YOU SHOULD TOTALLY READ IT.
In other news, I sank further into the depths of the intertubes and got a tumblr. Same handle as my Twitter, that's right. Dunno what I'll do with it yet, but so far it's full of caves, deserts, and angels. By the way, explain to me how this is not Castiel/Anna fanart, unless it's Castiel/Claire fanart. Or Castiel/Scully.
While merrily tumblring, I stumbled across this and was like MUST FIND MOAR, and lo, I did! Kolmanskop, the abandoned diamond mining town in southern Namibia. In 1908, Zacharias Lewala found a diamond in the Namib Desert, and he showed it to his German supervisor August Staunch, who was like, "oh that's nice I guess," and mysteriously thereafter, a bunch of German miners settled in the area and began to exploit the land. The town declined by WW1 and was ultimately abandoned in 1954, after which the land began to reclaim it. The desert sifted in through the windows and doors, and settled where people used to. It's not that the sand fills up the silence; the desert brings silence with it.
Or it would, maybe, if Kolmanskop isn't now a tourist attraction. oh god I wanna go.
So yeah, I'm totally late to Kolmanskop appreciation hour, but here's a picspam to make up for it:
What kind of a tree is this?
Speak up if you got a tumblr!

Oh Tumblr. How addictive you are. I added you, I'm "theopensea" because I like to confuse people.
How's the RL situation for you dear? Have things calmed down at all?
