Hi, I'm Tayber! Writer, editor, and fandom old-ish. I value kindness, effort, nuance, good faith takes, and taking opportunities for growth.
I spend a lot of time examining writing, queerness, storytelling, censorship, purity culture, the closet, community-building, and fandom. I'm deeply interested in the way that these things intersect, and the role that censorship and morality policing play in oppression.
You can expect to see me reveling in a wide range of film, art, books, video games, poetry, meta, fanfiction, and fanart. I love all forms of storytelling & expression, across all mediums and genres. I don't just read things โ I like to read into them.

Imperfect Winchesters headcanons are my favourite kind. Because these guys grew up on the road, sleeping in the cheapest motel rooms, and eating trash. They do not have perfect skin, no visible scars on their hands, arms, and legs. They're not jacked, they have work muscles, at least Dean definitely has. Sam's hair gets easily greasy, and Dean's is cut unevenly. Their teeth are not perfectly straight, Dean has an overbite and Sam has a little gap after the one time he broke a tooth in middle school. They have crooked fingers, veiny feet, sometimes too much hair on their asses. They're human.
To anyone who wants to comment more on fanfic but doesn't know what to say, here's the trick:
Just tell them the same things you would tell your friend.
Imagine that you're telling your friend about this great fic you just read. What was the plot element that got you excited? What emotions did it make you feel? What was your favorite part? What made you cry, or laugh, or kick your feet in glee?
Sometimes that just means saying "This was really sweet!" or "This moment made me cry and I loved it."
Like, fic writers aren't like actors or revered authors or something. We're not famous, we're not untouchable.
We're just other fans, just like you. We're your fandom friends, showing you something we made and hoping you liked it. That's all.

the fun part of trying to archive old pockets of your obscure old fandom is when you accidentally find your own twenty-year-old shit in some pocket of the internet that you forgot you put it in. when i tell you i gasped in horror and am still reeling i mean this in the most literal sense. I thought i deleted those yeeeears ago. literally was editing the revised version of that fic yesterday for re-release why is the OG still posted?? Some of this i don't remember posting at all. and yet!!
Please know this sites hashtagging system is categorical and NOT clout based
Aka if I look up the โWendell and Wildโ tag, I should find clips, media, art and posts related to Wendell and wild ONLY. Same with any other random tag searched
If I spy a selfie, a random neighborhood, or any other kind of โinstaโ post trying to take likes for a popular hashtag, Iโm reporting you for spam. Most other long term users will too and your acct will be fast tracked as a spam blogger and blocked.
You will not ruin the last non corporate site for us, especially by trying to treat this site like influencers matter. If you get popular, itโs bc youโre a clown w a skill not bc your hot or rich or skinny, got it?
#holy shit at people in the notes this isn't 'tyrannical' it's basic courtesy AND against the tos #the spam report button is easily accessible for this exact reason #cross tagging is absolutely reportable spam according to tos so just don't do it #it also doesn't get you any more notes it just pisses people off
People (me) will report you for this (I will). If you are spamming the tags, someone (again, me) will click the little report button (and I will enjoy doing it) every time they (I) see your unrelated posts clogging their (my) search.

this year for my birthday (the 27th) I get to go spend a little over a week with my bestie (who i haven't gotten to see in person since last january) and I'm counting down the daaays
A moment where Cas learns that blanket forts arenโt just for Samโs kids, but that theyโre a magical date spot, tooโฆ
This necessary dose of fluff brought to you by my latest Patreon commission winner @burrsmom. Thank you for this wonderful prompt, my friend. I hope these soft boys keep you smiling for a long time, and thank you for helping me bring it to life.
The "Cas/Kelly with weird Destiel feelings" fic is here.
Big thank you to my mutuals who encouraged me to post it: @em-bitterred, @borrowedlifeonearth, @2fear2gach, @beatsheetromanroy, and @scifiromance7. <3 Y'all are seriously the best!
โCastiel?โ she whispers. Theyโre close, sitting side by side on the bed and leaning into one another.
โYes, Kelly?โ is his response. His voice is dark and low, surprising even himself.
โIโI want you to be the last person I sleep with,โ she breathes out nervously, round eyes glinting in the low lamplight. โNotโฆ him.โ
It takes Castiel just a split second too long to respond to what sheโs saying. Heโs distracted by her green eyes. He hadnโt noticed the color until nowโitโs familiar and unnerving. By the time he realizes that sheโs waiting for a response, sheโs moving to stand up.
โIโm so sorry,โ she stammers, with her hands covering her face. โThat isย suchย a weird thing to say, I know. Please forget I said anything.โ
