I absolutely wanna write terrible human PearlRose hanahaki fic, solely for the horror potential. Because think about it: what if the object of your love is already dead? :3c (plus That Symbolism. hacking up rose petals and thorns. yes please.)
Similar pearlrose vein. Steven is away on the other side of the universe. Pearl misses him. More pressingly she misses rose and she still has to protect the earth with neither of her reasons for doing it present. Fights with corrupted gems. She gets a chip or crack on her gem. It manifests her pining and obsession in horrible flowery shapeshifting
I don't think this person intended to make this character a huge unlikable jerkoff, but they did have him randomly start talking about how straight white dudes are worthless trash and surely you, dude whom I am transparently hitting on, are not worthless trash, you're definitely attracted to me as well, because otherwise you'd be straight, and we've established that that's literally the worst possible thing you could be. Is that negging? I think it's negging. It's a real awful way to treat a dude you're trying to sleep with anyways, jeezy creezy. Also, the negging jerkoff dude spent a few sentences on how straight dudes treat people who aren't sexually available to them like trash, which strikes me as a touch ironic coming from the dude who keeps implying that this random attractive stranger needs to be sexually into him or else he's a terrible goddamned person.
Okay but 'I'm a psychology major' is unintentionally hilarious because for whatever reason that seems to be modern au speak for 'I'm a psychic.'
Wait, is the fic implying Starbucks coffee is indicative of gayness? That's…I…what? The mind boggles. eta: I mean, the author does know Starbucks is a real business that exists outside of coffeeshop AUs, right?
It's not only super creepy, it's could've been pulled straight from a horrible lovechild of r/incels and grindr for how badly it paints Cas. Like. This version of him goes home and whines about how none of these Dumb Sluts will fuck him, only he makes it sound like they're self-hating and filled with internalized homophobia instead of like... really not buying his shitty sales pitch here.
...but I thought Starbucks was like the poster business of white straight women. Like it's always "Oh them white straight girls and their cappuccinos!"
Yeah, I got no clue what the Starbucks thing was about. I've never actually been to a Starbucks, but I never got the impression that they're anything but a really common, kinda overpriced coffeeshop.
Yeah, pretty much. They're where you go if you want to pay $4 for a cappuccino with a ton of caramel syrup that they call a macchiato.
Also wow is that fic awful to Cas, he doesn´t deserve that. I haven´t seen SPN in a while but I do not recall him being that kind of asshoe.
It's basically just a very common cafe chain that happens to provide pricey but not too pricey coffee via drivethrus like a fucking mickey dee's. It is the home of students and writers who want to make use of free wifi while not writing their papers/novels. And white women who really want those fucking pumpkin spice lattes. those fucking lattes god urgh pumpkin spice lattes
Like I know their dessert coffee is garbage bullshit coffee but jesus fuck just fuck me up on all the sugar and milk and a flagrant disregard for coffee terminology.
I have had Starbucks only once (aside from the cold "discoveries" things they occasionally sell in grocery stores), a pumpkin spice latte, and honestly, I couldn't even taste the spices over the bitterness of their Generic Burnt Coffee. Even though we all know that's communication majors.
i have no idea why places think burning the coffee to ashes and cinders makes it fancy, but i really wish they'd stop.
As a psych major, I'm offended this writer thinks I should know when someone's hitting on me I don't even know when my boyfriend's hitting on me
I have shown up after a Starbucks right after it opened and they still served me burnt coffee. It's unavoidable I think.
