I have no mouth and I must scream about my fandoms

I promise I’ll draw them happy soon

Sam Winchester Appreciation Week 2026: Day Seven- happy birthday sam!

It doesn't matter what you are. It only matters what you do. It's your choice.

- Physical therapist (I was in a physical therapy course when I watched the movie and one day when I was at physical therapy I had this lovely realization that he would be EXCELLENT at that)

- was the only one to get an A the first grading period. had to stop them from putting me on their shoulders

- became the official classroom mascot on account of i was the only girl. this meant i was an integral stop on any and all workshop tours. was referred to as “Our Lady Helena” on these occasions

- almost set myself on fire once bc my prof stood behind me watching me try a skill he’d just demonstrated and he shouted very suddenly very loudly. restarted my heart and asked WTF WAS THAT FOR JOHN and he called me a “goddamn wonder”. i almost got third degree burned over a compliment

- mentioned offhand ONE TIME that swords were cool. also mentioned my birthday offhand ONE TIME. one of The Guys remembered both instances and also happened to find a sword in a dumpster so he gave it to me for my birthday

- came in fifth in an arm wrestling competition

- french braided my hair in class bc i didn’t have time to do it beforehand. ended up with an audience of like 5+ guys trying to figure out how tf i was doing it

- told The Guys my college friends call me barbie. Mistake. suddenly had all 12 of them calling me Barbarian

- had some down time and made a silly little sculpture with some scraps. The Guys were endlessly intrigued by this and demanded to see some of my art school stuff. had a small crowd around my phone cheering loudly every time i swiped to a new picture

- accidentally mentioned the cafe i worked at. Mistake. several days later all 12 of them came in to bother me

Their message to all of us:

"When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."

taking "do whatever you want forever" to the max. the defiance of social norms surrounding behavioral conformity and passivity. their all black attire and masks. the fucking power pose at the top of the empire state. gazing down at an entire city of people who works themselves to death on the streets and in corporate offices.

their message is simple. our connections to each other matter more than any position of power and control. the only thing that will save us is each other.

between this and the patriot games it really feels like we're in a hunger games timeline or something. but. i'll never complain about rebels showing themselves. even if all their message ends up "doing" is giving people hope and inspiration, that's the point.

they took a risk. they did it out of passion for what they do and their love for each other. i dont care if they're not the leaders we want to see. they're people living at the same time as us, who used their voice.

any of us can do the exact same thing. we could go to the cities near us right now, do something crazy, and send a message. obviously it takes a lot more planning and social support to pull it off, but.

like most people. they got arrested for this, with multiple serious charges. its ok if you cant take that risk right now. id rather people stay alive first. you're too valuable to this world to lose, and you deserve a fighting chance.

idk man. To Love. To Life. To a Future for Us All. as an avid book reader this feels like the Writer giving us some foreshadowing on what's to come. we can still win.
