My brain opens for thoughts from 11:20 to 11:30 each night and it just gave me a huge one: pen pal friendships/long distance relationships for Sam

𝚆𝙸𝙽𝚃𝚁𝚈 𝙿𝚁𝙾𝙼𝙿𝚃𝚂 』 『 @demonstigma asked: [ ESCAPE ]: as a surprise to the overworked receiver, the sender treats them to a weekend away after renting a winter cabin.

IT'S EASY TO COMPLAIN when it isn't like he does this kind of thing often. the eldest winchester can't remember when he'd last voluntarily taken a day off, let alone a weekend. he works on cases to distract himself from his ever-increasing sense of ennui ; but apparently this is frowned upon in hell, because kage has an issue with it, & has basically said so with this trip. it's only under the guise of research that dean begrudgingly follows him through the woods.

they make their way up a hiking trail until they reach a clearing with a winter cabin, looking like a pretty picture. ❝ i don't get why y'had to drag me all the way up here, ❞ dean says before he turns around to look behind him, & finds a view that spans for miles upon miles of wintry forest. even he can't deny the value of the view, & he says as much, giving a soft whistle. ❝ okay, fine, this is nice. but really, a whole weekend here ? i'm gonna go stir crazy, kage. ❞

Everyday I want more lucifer!sam.

[fairlyxlocal]

so i lost the canvas on the left. found it. dont feel like finishing it (think that great british bake off meme)

some fun quick genesis stuff. it would look so much better if it was colored but i need you to understand. i will die.

-- so! genesis' dad is a vampire. mom is a human. genesis is a dhampir as a result. teeth are just great. long lateral incisors and long canines. yes i sat there and did math and calculated based on the average size for those teeth + the teeth next to them. my visual reference was the lost boys. uhhh the lower canines are also long. does have the "bloodlust" but scientists in another region developed a serum to subdue that. can be out in the daylight. has an unnatural charm(?), bascially able to calm people down with a look. think the vampire encounter stories people have been sharing. it's this feeling of warm honey, its not just calming you down, it is a very physical sensation. otherworldly presence.

-- HOWEVER. genesis dies (ikik not canon but look at my blog. look at it.). so genesis gets spit back out into the universe as a succubus (this is in the jennifer's body sense, THAT was the point of inspiration). cannibalism for survival, sex also works but genesis is more of an eat someone's flesh kinda survivalist. its more effective. i say sex but it can also be a kiss if they so choose. THAT end of it is very much just stealing energy. its the eating flesh that matters. mouth tears way open. only thing keeping the jaw from bouncing around is the masseter muscles. in that feeding form, genesis also has to actually be mindful of their tongue so it doesn't just flop out of one of the holes in the mouth. rows of razor sharp teeth. like a shark-- can like..... not eat? but hair starts to fall out, looks super sickly. more likely to just start crying. a MESS. whereas fully fed, looks very good, arguably the best genesis has ever looked (in terms of my genesis but man i have so much to do.)

teeth fall out too but its more of a like. how a shark is always regrowing teeth and losing the old ones. just its more bloody.

Today’s throwback is to Jenson Leonard’s solo exhibition Workflow, at Wood Street Galleries in Pittsburgh, from the beginning of February.

From the gallery about the work-

Workflow, the first institutional solo exhibition of artist Jenson Leonard, centers on a titular film that explores the velocity and momentum of Blackness as it relates to the philosophical concept of acceleration—the notion that the only way out of capitalism is through its intensification.

In Workflow, a spectral Michael Jackson Halloween mask recites a surrealistic quarterly earnings reports. Building on a 2017 essay by artist Aria Dean titled “Notes on Blacceleration,” the short film centers on the ways in which the Black subject grapples with its commodified status within the labor market despite—or, resultant of—its own history as a commodity, stemming back to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Completed during Leonard’s residency at Pioneer Works in 2021, the video utilizes uncanny humor as a mechanism to expose the shared grammars inherent in Afro-pessimism and speculative finance.

Within the exhibition, the film repeats simultaneously across two grids of computer monitors situated on ergonomic desks that flank the gallery, mimicking the workstations that can be found ubiquitously across stock trading floors and financial institutions. Sculptures modeled after computer keyboards and mouses are displayed on the desks, each rendered inoperable by concentric riffs that symbolize the erratic transformations caused by the flows of capital. The appearance of Jackson represents a transmogrification of its own; whereas many have aligned the controversial pop icon’s bleached skin and surgical procedures with Black self-hatred, Leonard positions his bodily modifications as a radical rupture from racial paradigms of being.

In Leonard’s own words, “Workflow is defined as the sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. My film seeks to disabuse notions of completion, whether it be completion of the human, the nation state, or civil society. As Dean notes, Blackness is ‘always already accelerationist’ via its incongruence with Western humanism, a wrench thrown into the locomotive gears of ‘capital and subjecthood.’ Her essay prompts us to look toward the way that the Black has been historically constructed outside of the human, as coterminous with the slave. Slavery therefore represents a kind of proto-automation, a mass forced coercion of labor, and the Blacks’ transition from object to subject calls for a reappraisal of accelerationist ideas about the (non)human entity and its revolutionary potential.”

The artist continues, “There is something about going to work—the repetition of it—that gets inscribed at an epigenetic level, as an everyday, embodied violence. From there, I thought about the panoptic workplace (open air plan, transparent yet closely surveilled, management that does not have to be in the room to be monitoring you), the fetish of efficiency (ergonomic mouse and keyboards so you can work longer), biometric data of a labor force (fingerprint and facial scans to help reduce repeat processing tasks). All of these methods to maximize profits and production can be traced back to methods worked out and perfected in the cotton and sugar cane fields hundreds of years prior.”

The text from the video was included on one of the gallery walls (image above) but I’ve included it below as well as it is definitely worth reading.

“Looking out across the macro- Panoptic eyes are everywhere. Predictive models rendered bilious, You are scalable, You contain platitudes. Clean and renewable, black from the waste management down. These are micro-credentials too big to fail. Angel investors watch over you, guide you through your webinar. You are green with infrastructure. A Nick Land acknowledgment. A multiprocession of the tiniest micropixels in all of the Anglosphere. Plan your obsolescence. Chitin’ circuitry courses through you. Wayward modulation thrumming, throbbing like an old techno spiritual. A Self driving mythology Keloid optimized. Upload speeds faster than Drapetomania. A contactless, decentralized, hands free accumulation. The base salary determines the superstructure of your beast of burden of proof of concept. Perfection is the enemy of egress. Pay the heap of flesh no mind, live in the nanosecond. Fake it till you’re skeuomorphic. You’re more than the sum of your outsourced manufacturing components. Know your neural net worth. Walk with your overhead held high. There’s never been more exciting growth in the excrement sector! It is easier to imagine the end of the world than to unsubscribe from my Onlyfans. Rather, If you can’t handle me at my Linkedin you don’t deserve me at my locked in chastity. Will you risk it all to manage my assets? Are you willing to do my taxes from the back? Tax to mouth? From the overton window, to the overton wall, to the overton sweat drop down my overton balls. Going, going… Zong.”

So what if Sam is a Friends fan. What if he watched the show about 100 times on dvd. What if he’s a Chandler stan. Why wouldn’t it make sense

[mvcleod]

“see, i told you i was a better ally than a corpse. aren’t you glad you changed your mind and let me live after all?”

no thoughts, just smiling to herself watching sam be the nerd that he is. maybe things haven't changed as much as she worried they had.
