Thank You, Everyone At Bloomingcon!

Hey, everybody! Only a few more days until Evil Walks premieres! Are you excited? I am. Excited and freaking out so much.

I just want to give a big shout-out to everyone who came to support me at Bloomingcon this weekend! Cosplaying fem!Castiel both days, I was selling bracelets and protection bottles for Hell's Bells and giving out free Tarot readings, as well as also running a booth of Japanese snacks and drinks for the Asian grocery store where I'm manager. It was a great weekend, so thank you everyone who came, and especially a big big thank you to the wonderful staff and fellow vendors and artists in the vendors' room with me! It was great working with all of you, and you were a wonderful help! I still have Hunter's Bracelets available to buy if anyone wants one, and of course if anyone wants a tarot reading, please contact me.

And don't forget: Hell's Bells' first book Evil Walks starts on Thursday!

Until later, then, readers!

So Last Night's Supernatural Season Finale...

Spoilers ahead. Last night was intense. Very, very intense. I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel about the SPN season ten finale.

Let's start with Death. Death was awesome. Death loves Mexican food. Death just revealed a massive amount of mythology, telling us that God and the Archangels, including Lucifer, fought back a Big Bad called the Darkness and that the Mark of Cain is the lock keeping the Darkness at bay. Then Dean killed Death.

What does killing Death mean? Are we facing a Death Takes A Holiday/Reaper Man situation? They didn't explain the consequences!

What can the Darkness do? What kind of an entity is it? Are there multiple branches of it, like the Leviathans? Is there a connection to demons? It looked really demony, didn't it?

Let's talk about Cas. My poor baby. Hurting him weighed heavily on Dean, but Dean didn't call to say goodbye to him. He was kind of left out of the action with Dean, and that really bothers me, and not just because of Destiel. Dean couldn't kill himself without saying goodbye to Castiel. He just couldn't. And then that watch dog spell-- it kills its victims! Is Rowena killing Cas? Is Cas going to kill Crowley first? He has an angel sword; he could kill him permanently!

And WHY didn't they cycle back to Metatron taking the Demon Tablet? Why did they leave that dangling?

And every time I think about that scene with Sam and Dean, talking over their codependency issues. That and the very words "She's all yours" are making me cry again as I write this. And I already cried myself to sleep last night.

And WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY that cliffhanger?! Now we have to wait forever for season 11! Damn it, SPN!

So that's a brief summary of my reaction to it. What was your opinion of last night's finale? What do you think of the Darkness? What do you think season 11 has in store for us? Let me know in the comments.

A Day In The Life

So I finally got myself a copy of Rags and Bones, the anthology of twists on classic stories, and I'm so excited about it because it's full of dark fantasy authors I absolutely love and who completely inspire me, included the incredible Neil Gaiman, the amazing Melissa Marr, the fantastic Holly Black, Kelley Armstrong, Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl, Garth Nix, and more, and it is awesome!

Seriously, Holly Black retelling Carmilla and Neil Gaiman's version of Sleeping Beauty, how much more perfect can it get?

But now I have a problem. I don't know where to put it on my bookshelf.

Do I put it with my Neil Gaiman books?

That is, in my non-graphic novel, short story collection of Neil Gaiman books. I have multiple Neil Gaiman sections on my many bookshelves.

Do I put it among my Melissa Marr books?

Among the other Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong short story collections?

Among my Holly Black books?

It's too big to fit with my Garth Nix books.

And too small to fit with the Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl Beautiful Creatures books.

 So where do I put it? Decisions, decisions... This is going to be plaguing me all day as a way of distracting me from the inevitable pain of tonight's SPN season finale.

Where do you think I should put Rags and Bones?

A Day In The Life

Of course I have a Supernatural phone charger! Obviously I do! Why does this surprise you? Have you ever met me?

You mean you don't have a SPN phone charger? WTF not, dude?

Judging By Appearances

I am at Hot Topic looking at the Game of Thrones and SPN Funko Pop! Dolls, when a sales associate approaches me.

"So," he says, "do you watch Supernatural?"

I pause before answering, taking a moment to glance at my SPN Team Free Will graphic tee, my SPN earrings, my enormous SPN backpack, my Dean Winchester-inspired army green motorcycle jacket, my angel wing necklace, and the keys in my hand from which two SPN keychains are dangling, one of which has the same anti-possession symbol as on my earrings. 

"What gave me away?" I reply in a deadpan manner resembling Raven's from Teen Titans. 

"I just didn't want to assume," he assures me and proceeds to show me the new Leviathan!Castiel figurine. Which is awesome and makes me cry cuz of season seven feels at the same time.

And yeah, that's what it's like to run into me shopping.
