You guys know the salt thing isn't only from Supernatural, right? The superstition of if you spill salt, throw some over your left shoulder?

Obviously the story's stupid and mostly a joke, but let's not assign attributes to someone just to make them more pathetic.

if you see anything that's from tumblr that could possibly in any way be referencing supernatural or that superwholock poo poo, it is

I've always wondered what the limit was on crossing a salt line. Like, is it possible to go under or over it? If you can go over it, wouldn't jumping work? If you can't, would a demon that tries to take a plane suddenly get smeared across every aisle when the aircraft crosses over a salt mine?

Travel by plane was uncommon when the myth was invented.

It's a sphere, so how ever wide your circle is, is how tall the dome is. It has to be ionized salt, so going over a salt flat, or the ocean is fine.

Does it count for UNDERNEATH the salt?

Can we construct a global orbiting ring of ionized salt that constantly spins around the earth instagibbing any demon summoned, is what I'm asking.

The solution is to both surround the earth with an orbital layer of salt to counteract alien demon ghosts and to coat the surface to deal with their terrestrial counterparts.

I think what actually happens when you smash Sherlock and House MD and Christian Grey together like this dipshit tried to do is that you get a guy standing creepily-close to the woman in front, then leaning over and mumbling while staring at his shoes- "I watched you going to the bathroom just now, do you enjoy being tied up?" and then when she's fled in horror he goes home and writes out this version.

I do love the part where "the conversation had turned awkwardly flirtatious" because you just know he's the kind of person to mis-construe awkwardness conversation as ~sexual tension~ rather than being creeped out.

Unless you're a demon trying to get people to wander endlessly through supermarkets looking for "ionized" salt so you can eat their souls while they're distracted, in which case, carry on.

This is why I don't tell everyone I like to write. Unless the other person is a hobbyist writer there's no way to say it without it coming out like this.
Like, I'm sort of embarrassed by it.
Unless you are a well-known published author, the next question is them asking if they may have seen any of your work.
Then you say, "do you still visit LiveJournal?" before slithering away. Or how about, "actually, I write things for myself, not for other people." Which means 'even I know I'm a hack.'

I'd rather tell people I'm a gamer.
