all my keysmash are belong to you

1) Do you guys have that picture of Dean that's taken from the side and it looks like he's clasping his hands above his head in prayer or something, and his arms are big and sexy all over the place? You know what I'm talking about. Or do you know what episode that's from?

2) Important question: WHAT THE HELL WAS CAS DOING ALL HIATUS? Post your speculation here:

THE BETWEEN SEASON CASPARTY


3) santapocalypse: A STONEHENGE APOCALYPSE SECRET SANTA. I always feel like I'm doing Stongepocalypse fandom wrong, the same way I'm doing Sassy wrong, because everyone seems to be like, "Ey, it's all for the crack! Bring on the lulz." But I would love to see srs bsns Sam/Cas and Jacob/Joseph erudite darkfic, and Jacob/Jimmy twincestuous angstfests.

4) SPN 4x17verse commentfic meme

5) ( Vampire Diaries 2x02, 2x03 )
( Hawaii 5-0 1x02 )

6) This is an interesting slide show about the Bajau, who are sea nomads in Southeast Asian waters. The lifestyle's dying out, though; there are only a handful of Bajau now who have spent most of their lives out on boats. Check out the picture of the boy who is playing with HIS PET SHARK, OMFG. I am also very *_____* at this: "Traditional Bajau cosmology – a combination of animism and Islam – reveals a complex relationship with the ocean, which for them is a multifarious and living entity. There are spirits in currents and tides, in coral reefs and mangroves. Such reverence and knowledge could be used to conserve rather than destroy."

I am, however, rather :-/ at the article byline: "Now these marine nomads risk destroying the reefs that sustain them." Most of the damage done to coral reefs in Southeast Asia is inflicted by commercial fishers and illegal trawlers. Communities that directly rely on the the sea to survive, like the Bajau, too often get scapegoated for it. This isn't to say that subsistence fishers never resort to destructive fishing practices (dynamite, cyanide, etc.). Quite often these days they do, out of desperation and perceived necessity, because the Coral Triangle's fish yield ain't what it used to be. I'm just saying that to finger one culture for ecosystem destruction without also accounting for the economic and political systems to which it is subject seems pretty sloppy and insensitive.

FILE THIS UNDER "THINGS THAT ARE INEVITABLE".



ONCE UPON A TIME, Jimmy had a falling out with his twin brother and didn't talk with Jacob for years. That other time, Jacob and the Winchesters traded tips on how to make the best home-made EMF. AMIRITE?? There was also that difficult time in his life when Jacob was the Ghostfacers' summer intern. And Stonehenge was totally a seal.

One prompt per comment is awesome, multiple fills per prompt is even awesomer! Fills can be in any format ever: fic, art, descriptions of fic, chatfic, round-robins, haiku, sonnet, CAPSLOCK (which is totally an art form), sculptures out of nosehair and bottlecaps, etc. When filling, it'd be magnificent if you did this in the subject line: FILLED: title, characters, rating.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, TELL YOUR FRIENDS:
