WIP - Don’t Say Goodbye

Hey everyone! 

With the start of Season 15, and the release of the Season 15 pin/charm by Stands, I figured now is a great time for a new giveaway. 

Giveaway Guidelines

Giveaway will run from now through Saturday 10/19/19 @ 12PM CST

Likes/reblogs will be counted as *one entry each for a maximum of two entries* – if you are reblogging to signal boost and NOT entering, please tag your post so I know not to count you in the drawing.

You do NOT need to be following me in order to enter – I understand that a lot of people have reasons for not following others, and I’m not going to force you to follow me to receive kindness in the form of merch

You must feel comfortable giving me your name and your shipping address. I promise that I do not keep that information, and I do not use your information for any purpose other than shipping the package. If you have any concerns, please let me know. I have done a few giveaways before and I think any of the previous winners would vouch for me.

Entries are open Internationally!

10 winners will be drawn via random number generator. First five winners will get the choice of a Season 15 pin or a charm (see above photos), and the second five winners will get the remaining five pieces. I will also be throwing in some fanart in the form of postcards or prints that I’ve purchased from some of my favorite fandom artists!

Thanks for participating, and Happy Season 15 everyone!

Always best til last…

Adults: you’re just not trying hard enough

Made a profile on Indeed.

Crammed that fucker with every damn skill and job I have ever had. That time I ran roller-coasters for a month? On there. “Property Managing” my mother’s rental for six months because she was too lazy to drive over? On there. ALSO. If you are skilled in, say, Photoshop, don’t JUST put Photoshop as a skill. Also put Adobe Suite, Adobe Photoshop, etc. Put every possible term for your skill under the skills. Google skill lists and start slapping them in there if you have even a tiny bit of skill in them.

Downloaded the Indeed app on my phone.

Set up a saved search to show me all full-time jobs paying $15 or more per hour in my area, and set it to only show jobs with instant apply. I did not narrow it down by field or anything else. Just full-time, my area, $15/hr.

Wrote up a three sentenceish generic cover letter that was basically “I am good at customer service, client management, and handling the variety of tasks this job will involve. I will be available on X date and would love to speak to you about this position at your company.” But slightly more professionally put.

Just fucking clicked apply on everything. Anything that sounded like something I’d be willing and probably able to do. Like, I wasn’t applying to mechanic jobs or anything. But front-desk at a mechanic shop? Sure. Towing dispatcher? Sure. Print shop coordinator for some fancy real estate agency? Sure.

The beauty of Indeed’s mobile/quick apply is that once you’ve set up your profile on there clicking apply is literally all you have to do for about 75% of the quick apply jobs. Some will have a couple additional questions like how long you’ve done certain things, or when you’re available to start. Some have random fun questions like your favorite superhero (usually startups). You click that button and off your resume goes.

I spent about an hour every day doing this, submitted several hundred applications in the process, and heard back from…maybe 20. Got an interview at 4 or 5. Got hired at an insurance company that pays RIDICULOUSLY WELL. Took about a month.

Do I want to sell in insurance? Not particularly. But this job will support me, my art, my ability to buy a house, and PROVIDE RESIDUAL INCOME ONCE I RETIRE. Which. If I play my cards right I could do in as little as ten years.

Your mileage may vary with this technique, but given the way job hunting is set up now carpet bombing an application site like Indeed is always worth a shot. I will note that when I came across a job I thought sounded extra interesting and more in line with the fields I wanted to be in I’d save the application instead of applying, then take the time that night to put together a better full application.

It took Cas a while to realize why he was always pulled to Dean. It took him years to notice the string that attached his wrist to Dean’s. It took him longer to confine in Sam about it. Because Cas knew what the string meant. Cas knew the fates. He knew what they did to soulmates. He knew that they attached bright red strings to them. 

He also knew that some mates never found each other, and the longer they were away from their mate, the string would lose its glow, and the people would be thrown into a deep depression. 

Which is why he got so scared when Dean didn’t get out of bed for a whole week. He knew how suddenly the depression could hit. He knew what it looked like. So when he walked into Dean’s room, seeing the man curled up in the bed, the covers up around his body, pillows surrounding him, pieces of Cas’ clothing in the bed, he knew. 

Dean’s part of the string was a deep blood red. It wasn’t glowing. It looked like it was fraying. And Cas couldn’t move. Because the string was fraying. And Cas knew what that meant. 

When one of the soul mates string began fraying, turning a blood red, it meant the mate was dying. 

And then Cas’ mind ran to the hunt Dean had recently gone on. How he’d come back to the bunker, not looking at Cas, his arm pressed roughly to his side. Cas felt himself go pale. 

The wound had been bad. 

And Cas couldn’t even heal it now, because he was human. He would have to watch Dean…he would have to watch it all without being able to heal his mate. 

Because whether Dean knew it or not, he was going to die. 

And Castiel - a former angel of the lord, a solider of the former heaven, brought back to life by god himself multiple times, the only thing that had ever protected Dean Winchester, a god at one time, taken over by Lucifer, the angel who went against god, the angel who went against heaven, the angel who went against hell - was going to have to watch the love of his life die. 

Was going to have to watch the love of his life go, so slowly, because he couldn’t heal him. 

He couldn’t do anything.

Cas turned out of the room and walked back to his, sitting on the edge of his bed silently. He bowed his head. He couldn’t even pray, because there was no god. He was gone, and there was no one else Cas trusted enough to heal Dean. 

The angels, anyways, would kill Cas on sight.

As would the demons. 

Cas was lost. 

Dean was dying

He couldn’t heal his mate.

And all he could think of was ‘there is no god’.

It took him a minute before he stood again, walked himself back to Dean’s room, and crawled into the bed. 

He wasn’t in his usual trench-coat and dress suit - instead in the only pair of sweats he owned and a shirt Dean had got him.

He pulled Dean close, and he heard the sharp intake of breath from the other man.

They both knew.

They had almost no time, so just being close, after all these years of denial, was as much as they were going to get. 

Dean was dying.

And Cas couldn’t do a thing about it.

Hi, most of you have probably seen my last post that looked like this:

So the post now has over 12 thousand notes, and as great as it is to have that many notes..

I'm not getting anymore donations or notes from it and I'm really scared that it's because it has so many notes, that people are just looking past it now.

So I'm starting over with a new post.

About a month or two ago I made that post when I had absolutely nothing, and through a LOT of peoples kindness, I was able to buy my medicine and get a months worth of cancer treatment done.. but now it is September 1st and here in a couple of days I will be out of my medicine and due for my blood treatment but I once again have no way of paying for it.

I genuinely need donations again!!

My treatment involves draining my blood, because of the Polycythemia Vera, I have too much. I am at a higher risk of a stroke, and with my heart disease ontop of that.. the risk is even higher.

My medicine, my treatment, all of that.. is working!! Let me repeat because I am so happy to say this, but the treatment that I have been getting HAS BEEN WORKING FOR ME!! My hair has been growing back, my energy has been coming back, I've been able to eat more, and I've been able to get out of my house let alone my bed more and more thanks to being able to have my treatment.

But it costs money, and until I am approved for disability (which I have a working case for) people like you, spreading this post and donating to me.. you are helping me get better!!

So please, donate if you can to my PayPal account. I tried setting up a venmo account as well as a GoFundMe page, but my bank keeps assuming it's a fraud and canceling my accounts. So PayPal is all I have right now.

Please donate or spread this post instead of my last one, thank you for reading.

P. S.

To those I promised a tarot reading to for donating to me, please send me a message and I will get you, your reading asap. And to anyone who wants a tarot reading for a donation, genuinally, just one dollar will get you a full reading of your choice. Thank you.
