rewatching s1 and in ep2 w*ndigo, dean makes a joke about not bringing provisions into the woods just to pull out a bag of peanut butter m&m’s and stick with me here, it’s why the later seasons’ “goofy dean” loses me

this moment is clearly a joke but if you think about it too much, it also makes some sense; a family size bag of peanut m&m’s is calorie dense and even the high sugar is good to keep you moving which they need on an overnight hunt. it also shows how due to their upbringing, they’ve had to eat lower quality food, things they always had access to that was cheap and also in bulk

what does dean eating ghost pepper jerky then tipping water on himself exist for other than to be a cringy joke? what does smelling old chinese food, testing to see if it's still good then shaking his head with cabbage hanging out his mouth when it isn't serve? it's just to make him look stupid and contrast sam's healthy/clean diet (and superiority but that’s another conversation) which has always existed but it used to be nuanced and natural

we see dean as a child give up the food he wanted to eat so sam could eat it. (“i’m sick of spaghetti-os,” “you’re the one who wanted them,” … “i want lucky charms!” “… there’s only enough for one bowl and i haven’t had any yet!” proceeds to give them to sam, 1x18) we know he hustled and stole food to ensure sam ate. (“so, what’d he take?” “get this- peanut butter and bread.” 9x07)

we also see throughout the early seasons dean teasing sam about his salad or healthy choice while he eats some form of burger or other fast food (or notably, cheerfully eating prison food that sam won’t touch, 2x19). it's typical sibling teasing but it also shows that it isn't new for sam to eat like that and for dean to know he eats like that

sam being picky isn't just a character trait they chose for him, it's a result of how dean raised him; he raised him to like and want healthy food and be food secure enough to reject food he didn't want

but dean eats anything he is given and seeks out unhealthy - cheap, plentiful, filling - food

he is the opposite of picky to the point of it being a consistent bit; they show him multiple times eating when it's socially frowned upon to do so eg. questioning a grieving victim when they're trying to be discreet (1x14, 2x15, 2x18)

a similar moment to the chinese food is in 4x19; dean wakes up in the car while sam brushes his teeth outside and is hungry. sam says there's a sandwich in the backseat, dean smells it and recoils bc it's an old tuna sandwich. the moment is funny on its own but it also exists as a comparison of their lives to adam's; he has a loving mother, goes to school and importantly, a steady stable childhood

it’s a joke with a purpose

it also supports dean's food insecurity; he wakes up and is immediately hungry, enough to complain about it and seek out food before anything else

dean is always hungry bc he never has access to nutritionally rich foods bc he got used to using the money he earned to buy sam's more expensive food. he got used to his cheaper, denser foods and grew up with (and continues to live with) intermittent access to said foods. think of how long it takes to drive from one state to another; how many hours it can take to see another town that offers food, if you arrive at a reasonable enough time for anything to be open. also think how they can’t keep any food beyond what fits in an esky; nothing that needs defrosting, nothing can be heated up. it’s bags and jars and take out for as long as they can trust it

then they get the bunker which has its own kitchen

dean even describes himself as "nesting" when he decorates his room, something he hasn't had since he was four years old, and he uses said kitchen to cook a burger from scratch that he is proud of. he is food secure for the first time in his life and it shows in how often he cooks for both himself and sam

so these moments where they have him acting goofy regarding food are no longer character driven and only exist as a joke which is why they come across as cringy and out of character compared to similar earlier moments

a lot of my issues with dean's characterisation started when they introduced the bunker. the argument can and is made that the reason these jokes happen is bc he feels safe in the bunker, that bc he now has a home he can relax and unmask but that still doesn't feel sufficient. they crank up these sillier moments for both of them, giving them a sort of playing house comedy vibe of two roommates with completely different personalities but it doesn't feel like an authentic progression. it feels forced; an attempt at humour for humour's sake

food stopped being an informed part of their characters and their trauma and instead became flanderised; sam is the judgy vegetarian health nut and dean is his borderline slovenly carnivore counterpart

Me now: I tolerate coffee, I need Energy to stay alive.

Couple thingies of sorts

I know the standard nowadays is having a carrd but for now I'll make sure pages are easily accesible on desktop and mobile. Frankly at the moment too tired to mess with carrd like at all. I'll make one in the future when I'm not sleepy.

First things first is probably changing up my rules a bit: I'm far more lax than I was when I originally made those rules. For now the only major things that pop into mind issss: my muse is probably easily adaptable into any settings she's just a regular shmuglar gal that likes fighting people so don't be afraid by chance if you dunno her or even the franchise she's from. Admittedly my grammar ain't the besstttt so if that's a deal breaker then you don't gotta follow or follow back.

I'm rewatching and replaying Street FIghter stuff. Some things bout how I write her may or may not change tbh. The idea is sticking to canon, but also she'll be portrayed with divergence here and there.

Lastly I am workin' on her and my very impulsive choice of creating a Silver the hedgehog blog (hella wip) if anyone here is also a Sonic head lmao. In the air if I also wanna rp Sonic as well lol.

EDIT: totally forgot to mention all this being said I don't mind if by chance people wanna poke or bother Sock with a ask or random starter !

//def part of the problem i think im having with sending folks memes and stuff is that so many of them seem to imply, to me anyway, some kind of existing relationship between characters and i never just wanna assume someones chill with jumping ahead like that... im sure itll clear up a little more once ive actually been around long enough to build some more established connections lol

((I tried to draw the cuddle beanbag pile but I'm stopping here bc I hate this now but it's still a cute idea in my head that I can't portray lol

I tried to make it doodly and cartoonish but I'm just not gonna be able to get it. if you use your imagination it's cute tho

I have a thing abt awkward complicated poses bc if photos are candid and the characters are chilling out then they're probably in a really weird position that's not great for photographing

also wtf are wings these sprites are killing me

Tii (middle) is showing Davepeta (right, also my muse but not on Tumblr atm) something NSFW. whether its furry porn or if its something more. personal. we'll just never know!

Tii is wearing a sparkly dress and DPS is wearing a cute lil jumper and skirt, but isn't good at remembering to be polite and sit w their legs closed. I was gonna try and put a santa hat or one of those cracker paper crowns on Davesprite (@asskraehe) but idk why I just could not draw his face after like 5 attempts so I gave up 😭 he is getting all of the attention from the kitty cats tho

Hey loves- I know I disappeared again, and I am really sorry about that. The past few weeks have been really hard mentally, and I've been so stressed out about so many things it's been unreal. Most of that stress was from needing money and the only way I could get it was to obviously get a job and luckily, I found one pretty quickly. It's somewhere I worked before that's now under completely new management which was the entire reason I quit before because the job was pretty easy and I enjoyed it. But there were some issues with it at first that were stressing me out even more (I didn't hear from the manager for almost 3 days on when I would start) however now everything is settled and I start tomorrow- I don't think I'm gonna have a super set schedule besides closing shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday so I will put whatever days I work each week on my pinned post so y'all know when I won't be around, at least for part of the day. But it truly feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest knowing that I'm not gonna have to worry about money anymore.

And because of that I finally feel okay enough to start to get back into the swing of things with rp- I've hated not having the energy to do it recently because I love it so damn much but I never want to get on here and not fully be here, you know what I mean? It just doesn't seem fair to any of y'all for me to do that, nor is it fair to my muses. Anyways, I think that's all for now- I am going to be heading to bed as soon as I get something to eat because I have to be up early to get ready for work (I had to take an earlier shift for this Tuesday cause otherwise I wouldn't have a ride home-) but I will most likely be on here after I get off work while I'm waiting for the fireworks to start with my family and probably also when I get home depending on how tired I am. I hope everyone is having a great day/night and a great July so far- and if you are celebrating tomorrow or anytime this week, please be safe 🖤
