If you want someone to sound like a therapist in your spn fanfic, use Garth.

Garth is like the only person in the supernatural world that can get Dean to do something healthy.

chilean poet, pedagogue, lesbian, rebel, gabriela mistral, who should be remembered not only as an female icon of chilean literature (as opposition of neruda, who was a rapist, abuser and dead beat father) but as a woman who loved another woman, despite being forced in a asexual box by men who couldn't accept such an incredible woman not being straight.

the woman who gained a nobel in literature, who wasn't appreciated by her own country because she was a woman.

I remember her, today and ever.

(gabriela mistral on the left, her partner doris dana on the right)

“don’t project YOUR issues onto that fictional man” i’m not even doing anything. he’s doing all that shit himself. sorry for spotting patterns. observing. understanding nuances. i guess
