Summary Of The Last 12 Hours For The Poor/blessed Souls Who Slept Through Everything:

Summary of the last 12 hours for the poor/blessed souls who slept through everything:

Castiel (A main Supernatural character) confess his love for Dean (Main Supernatural character). Castiel is then thrown into the Empty (aka a version of Hell aka Super Hell) right afterwards and dies. It is revealed in the script that Dean thinks of him as a friend. This is very funny because Supernatural has been going on for almost two decades with rampant queerbaiting and decides that immediately killing off the only main mlm character in their last season and sending them off to hell is a benevolent gift for their fans.

There is a rumour started by the New York Post that Valdimir Putin is resigning in the near future due to Parkinson's. This ties in with the Supernatural debacle because people started tweeting about it while complaining/rejoicing at the Gay Representation™. This then became a meme and spread the rumor further.

Georgia and Pennsylvania flipped blue (11/06/2020) and Joe Biden is currently in a good lead.

The Trump organization is suing multiple states to recount the ballots. The majority are overturned, but I think Nevada is recounting.

Pennsylvania says it might take a week or two to count all the ballots.

There was a famous artist on Twitter revealed to be roleplaying as Ted Bundy.

The band System of a Down releases music for the first time in 15 years.

BTS rapper Yoongi goes under surgery for a shoulder problem.

I find out what a brain melting feels like.

I’m sorry the boy band himbos died and all but if you’re gonna eat hotdogs cooked on an exposed car battery that taste funny you kinda had it coming

Romance IS dead. Date ghosts. Living people be playing.

oh no are these not the same thing?

Thesis: the rise of fanwank and anti culture correlates directly with diminished understanding of what “romantic”, in a literary sense, actually means.

It doesn’t mean “this is ideal or healthy or even realistic”. It means “this is beautiful, this is tragic, this is grotesque, this stirs emotion”, even if it’s not, as @starryroom puts it, something you would be comfortable seeing play out in front of you at Taco Bell. It’s about grandiosity and mythology and heroism writ large. It’s about playing with the id, as beautiful and terrible as it can be. 

Reasons to love Mike Hanlon

((CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK AND THE MINISERIES))

- Mike is and always was the only reason that the losers worked out the connection between Pennywise and the 27 years.  (Yeah I’m still mad the movies gave that to Ben) 

- Mike’s relationship with his family is never depicted in any on screen adaptation but is one of the best parts of his character in the book

- the only reason we have the interludes in the book is because of Mike

- he kept a diary for 27 years like that is an achievement and a half

- he went back down into the sewers in the 27 years the losers were away, alone.  in the dark.  fully prepared for the possibility that pennywise would wake up and kill him, just to save the silver bullets.  

- he told the losers at the restaurant that they could go back home, that he was prepared to take pennywise on himself even though he knew it wouldn’t work that way

- mike interviewed literally every person possible to be as prepared as possible for the likelihood they’d have to fight pennywise again

- he got stabbed by henry bowers and yet his main concern was still everybody else

- he stayed in a racist town with a clown living in the sewers for 27 years as a librarian just to protect six people who didn’t remember him.  Six people who protected him once a long time ago.  

- he kept tabs on every single loser watching from afar just to make sure that they were safe

- Mike Hanlon is the most selfless, criminally underrated character who does not get enough appreciation for everything he did.  He’s such a big part of the IT story and I feel like (particularly in the movies) that’s overlooked

Anyways love Mike
