Are There Specific Exercises for Breast Enlargement?
Many women wish for bigger breasts like me. When I was young, I saw ads promising bigger busts. These ads suggested exercises and pills would work wonders. Yet, over time, I found there’s no easy way to naturally grow breasts. Our breast size is mostly from genes, hormones, and body shape. Exercising alone doesn’t significantly increase breast size. For a noticeable difference, some women turn to…

The Mean Manual
Tumblr media
“64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69…. Done!” Charlotte groaned as she finished her 10th straight day of her bust exercises. She stretched out her remarkably flexible body and looked lovingly at her big tits. She almost couldn’t believe that two weeks ago she had the body of a flabby no chested geek but that was before she found, the book.
Back then she was know as Charlie, a girl so anonymous you could ask her classmates what she was like and they would reply with, “Who?”
Charlie wasn’t noticeable enough to be bullied, didn’t stand out enough to be noticed, a quiet solitude she had grown to accept. She would spend her free time in the school library, reading her fantasy and sci-fi books away from the crowds.
However that changed when she found, hidden behind several books in the reference section, the ‘Mean Manual’. Its cover was a bright pink that almost glowed amongst the drab covers it surrounded that made it hard for Charlie to ignore.
Pulling it out she blew away the dust that had accumulated over years maybe even decades of neglect. Charlie opened the tome and curiously flipped through its pages. It seemed to be some sort of guide to becoming the ‘Queen of Mean’.
Tumblr media
Charlie chuckled to herself as she skimmed its pages, realizing it had to be some sort of parody book. How could it not be with chapters like ‘Spreading lies to get your way’ and ‘The 10 ways to steal a man’. It was laughable to her that anyone would take the instructions as gospel.
Amused by it, she decided to take it home and read some more. It was there that she came across the chapter on ‘beauty exercises’. There was sections on toning your stomach, getting the perfect tan, how to make your body more supple, but what weirdly interested Charlie was the section on breast growth.
As the other girls in school had all hit puberty and grew reasonable and sometimes outrageously sized tits, Charlie had lagged behind, growing no more than an ‘A’ cup. It wasn’t something Charlie ever cared about, most people didn’t notice her anyway, and yet she found herself reading the instructions on how to increase her boob size intently.
“I’ll give it a try, just as a joke of course.” She said to herself with a half hearted laugh as she readied her body. The excercise involved getting on her knees and pushing out her chest 69 times, which seemed intuitive enough if a little juvenile but what was odd was she had to moan each time she did it. She felt a little silly as she began.
However with thrust of her chest her moans got a little louder, a little more genuine. It felt good sticking out her chest again and again, it felt as though her whole body was getting a workout. She couldn’t help imagine how good it would be to have the perfect tight body with perfect round tits, she found herself getting wet with each shove of her chest. She went into a near trance as she went on and before she knew it she hit 69 thrusts.
She panted in pleasurable exhaustion as she shakily got back to her feet, feeling warm and wet between her legs. She stumbled over to the mirror and gasped loudly at the sight. Her meagre breasts were gone, replaced with impressively big tits.
“No freaking way!” She said as she turned each way to make sure it wasn’t some mirror illusion but there was no denying it, her boobs were bigger.
Tumblr media
She eyed the book out of the corner of her eye, maybe it wasn’t a joke after all, she thought. She looked at her reflection and couldn’t help wonder what she would look like with the long nails, the silky hair, the smooth skin and everything else it purported to be able to give her. She had to know.
An hour and several exercises later, Charlie was looking at a practically different woman in the mirror. Her body wouldn’t have looked out of place on a runaway, there wasn’t an ounce of imperfection anywhere now. She could bend and flex in ways that would make the Hailey the head cheerleader jealous.
A smile started to cross her lips as the idea of making a bitch like Hailey green with envy suddenly made her horny. He mind went to wicked places as she thought about doing more than making her jealous.
She imagined strutting in to school the next day, in a tight shirt outfit, all eyes on her but she would be focused on only one set of eyes. Chad, Hailey’s boyfriend, was a big block headed idiot but did anything Hailey asked. If she could seduce him, she’d have the school in the palm of her hand.
“When I seduce him.” She corrected herself with a smirk, after all no one would be able to resist her looking the way she did now. She’d take Hailey’s friends, her cheerleading position, her power. It would be so easy and fun.
She started to move her fingers down her body towards her increasingly wet pussy when she stopped herself. Something didn’t feel right, why was she thinking such cruel and nasty things?
As if to answer her, a sudden gust of wind started to flicker the pages of the book back to the opening, where ‘Queen of Mean’ was emblazoned in large letters. Charlie drank in the word ‘Queen’ again and again. It seemed to almost put her in a trance as she put her hand into her panties.
As soon as her hand made contact with her soaking wet pussy a sinister grin came across her face.
“Ohhhh fuck yes!!! More, more! I want to be a fucking bitch called Charlotte not some loser nobody called Charlie. Make me a toxic slut, make me a wicked whore, make me the Queen of Mean!” She moaned loudly as she pumped her pussy again and again, her nerdy persona getting weaker each time she did.
The book began to glow bright pink as she continued and Charlotte had an innate knowledge of what it was doing.
“Yesss take my pathetic soul, make me evil and bitchy, I’ll be hot, corrupt and unstoppable!” She moaned thrusting her chest out as if it was being pulled up. She watched in malicious joy as her soul was ripped from her body and sucked into the book. She felt free of morals and doubts as she began to cum harder and longer than ever before.
As the book slammed shut, a surge of dark energy enveloped her newfound form. Her eyes glowed for a moment a deep crimson before settling back into a cold icy blue. A wicked smile curled on her lips as the transformation completed. She reveled in the intoxicating power coursing through her veins, ready to unleash chaos upon the unsuspecting world.
“Bye bye Charlie you fucking dork nobody. No one will miss you and even remember you when I walk into school tomorrow. It’s going to feel so hawt and nasty taking everything Hailey has, in fact why wait until tomorrow.” She said to herself as she picked up her phone and snapped a sexy selfie of herself.
Tumblr media
With an evil grin she started to text Chad: “Hey! I got your number from the school secretary. I’m, like, the new girl in school and she said you would be able to show me around and stuff? It would be totes amazing if we could do something tonight? I’m so alone xxx.” She wrote sending it along with her picture.
She smirked to herself as he quickly replied and made plans to meet up asap. Within the hour she was sucking his dick in the back of his sports car and cementing her hold on him. As soon as she had swallowed his load she dropped her cutesy bimbo act and became more demanding of him. He of course would do anything she asked now.
Now ten days later and Charlotte was the most feared and popular girl in school. Everyone knew her name now and there was no way she would ever fade into the background with her commanding presence and bitchy hot body.
Tumblr media
She didn’t know if she needed to continue doing her stretches and exercises to maintain her evil sexiness but she did them all the same, enjoying the wave of pleasure each would give her. The book seemed to glow happily each time she did as well but she could sense it was growing hungry for more. It had opened one day on a page marked “Beta Bitches”, giving Charlotte the guidance and knowledge with what to do next.
Tumblr media
“Hello girls, welcome to tryouts to be my new friends.” She announced to a group of nerdy girls who had all been lured to Charlotte’s house under the pre-tense that Charlotte would stop bullying them if they did. And for some of them that would soon be true. “You are all pathetic losers right now, adrift, invisible. But after today some of you will be getting a new wonderful purpose; worshipping me. Now do as I do and try and keep up.” Charlotte said to a sea of bewildered faces as she began doing her stretches and one by one they each followed suit.
Charlotte’s book began to glow…

Hehe, now i wonder how the THH girls, Makoto and Chihiro`s clothes are tailored to fit them~
Disclaimer: R18 material! If not to your liking then please do not view!
Consider Junko, she doesn't really bother with adjusting her outfits and is more than happy to wear something smaller/revealing since it mean more of the world can see her beauty...and despair over not being able to have it. Sometimes she'd figure she should just probably just walk around naked to further drive people crazy, but considers that a despair that shouldn't be abused frequently~
Mukuro, whose clothes are essentially hand me downs from Junko (and isn't allowed to adjust them either), also has to put up with showing more skin than usual, especially concerning her freckle butt.
Concerning Asahina, she doesn't usually get any tailoring done, and simply buys a pack of white shirts whenever her boobs stretch them out too much or ruins them. Same deal with her booty shorts, though in that cases, it takes it ripping after one too many donuts or vigorous exercise for her to get the memo.
For Sakura, who has the largest chest ontop of being bulky, she struggles with getting her shirts suitably tailored since her arms have a tendency to just rip through her sleeves and bust just has her boobs pop out constantly. At this point she's resigned to simply just wearing a custom sports bra for her day to day.
Toko spends a small fortune tailoring skirts long enough to hide her voluptuous thighs...and spending a lot to fix them when Syo inevitably decides to come out and 'let the girls down there' breathe.
For Sayaka, her adjustment is usually concerning her new bust which has seen a stark increase (be it due to natural/Junko tampering reasons), and her agency spends a bit trying to alter her idol outfits to prevent any nip slips from happening a she bounces on stage.
Kyoko, Chihiro and Celeste - who either have images to maintain or simply do care about getting the right fit, typically work to get their skirts properly lengthen to avoid their wobble meat for constantly flashing others. The price to pay for being apart of the bottom heavy girls/femboy of the DR1 class...and constant victims of booty related pranks in the Academy.
Finally, Makoto often has to get tailoring done on his pants: something that either gets ripped to shreds do to his own bad luck or because Junko thought it'd be funny to 'adjust' him for the days with medicine or inventions that got him either curvier in the hips, booty or given him increased dick size (the last one the other girls in class can be very partial to~).

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret (2023)
Tumblr media
★★★★☆
Written and Directed by: Kelly Fremon Craig
Based on the Novel by: Judy Blume
I definitely read the book by Judy Blume back when I was a kid, probably around 1986 or so. Unlike other books by Blume that seemed to speak a little more directly to me (the Fudge series in particular) which I read multiple times, I only read Are You There the one time so it never quite embedded itself into my subconscious the way other books did. Which is all to say that I went into this movie knowing I'd read the source material but not sure how much of it I really remembered.
Having now seen the movie, I can say with authority that this is not the kind of review where I have any business bothering to compare and contrast the original to this adaptation. Certain bits like the chest-growing exercise mantra ("I must—I must—I must increase my bust!") were familiar and I did recall there being a lot of discussion about the main characters' first periods and other puberty-related milestones which is reflected in the screenplay. But, for example, I didn't recall the book having religion as such a core factor in the overall plot though a quick scan of the Wikipedia entry for the book indicates it was central to the novel as well.
So I can't say whether or not this film is particularly faithful to the source, but I can talk about how the movie plays as just a regular coming-of-age story set in 1970 New Jersey made in 2023. And from that perspective there is a lot of great stuff to talk about. One comparison I am comfortable making is that this feels a lot like Pixar's Turning Red from last year. In fact, I'd be shocked if Are You There God (the novel) wasn't a huge inspiration to the writers and producers of the animated film. Are You There God is obviously a lot more grounded and aimed at audiences a little bit older (Turning Red definitely Disney-fied the most overtly sexual elements of pubescence which Are You There definitely does not shy away from). But there are parallels between the friend groups the protagonists rely on, the meditation on the changing nature of relationships between mothers and their children as those daughters begin to grow up, and the awkwardness of youthful forays into romance and relationships.
Are You There God? It's Me Margaret tells the story of Margaret Simon (played with fearless gusto by Ant-Man alum Abby Ryder Fortson), who comes home from camp the summer before sixth grade and finds out her father (played affably by Benny Safdie) has been promoted and they're moving to the New Jersey suburbs before the start of school. Margaret's dad is Jewish and her mother, Barbara (Rachel McAddams, bringing an earnest but lived-in energy to the role), is a lapsed Christian whose parents ostracized her when she chose to marry a Jewish man. They've chosen to raise Margaret without a formal religion and are allowing her to choose when she's older. As such, Margaret has forged a unique relationship with God, where she has casual prayer-conversations that serve as sort of a verbal diary.
Immediately after moving into the new place, Margaret is introduced to a neighbor girl her same age, Nancy Wheeler (played with complicated mean girl perfection by Elle Graham). Nancy inducts Margaret into her tight-knit circle and they begin a club in which they talk candidly about their crushes, the size of their bras, and the status of their first periods. A lot of the second act of the film is comprised of a series of loose vignettes where Margaret and her friends try to buy sanitary napkins for the first time to practice with, or prepare for an awkward birthday party where the class plays spin-the-bottle type kissing games. Margaret visits her paternal grandmother (portrayed with force-of-nature aplomb by Kathy Bates) back in New York and asks to accompany her to Temple. She joins one her friends at a raucous southern baptist service, noting afterward that she isn't sure she feels closer to God as a result, but she sure enjoyed her time. She learns about her maternal grandparents and why she's never met them, and struggles with jealousy and mistrust among her close friends.
Eventually Barbara stumbles into a partial reconciliation with her parents, leading to a tense scene where her parents and grandparents share an uncomfortable meal together before the religion issue rears its head and forces Margaret to question whether there is value in religion at all. In the end, she adapts as best she can and the film ends on a positive note where it's clear not all of Margaret's problems are completely solved, but she's in a better space and looking forward to middle school.
The film is sweet, funny, and utterly charming. The cast is great all around and McAddams in particular does some excellent work elevating a role that could easily have been buried in the editing room but works to provide a wonderful counter-weight to Margaret's tale as it highlights they way uncertainty and indecision can have repercussions long after adolescence is through. There is one scene in particular where Margaret is asking about the grandparents she's never met. Barbara is trying to calmly and dispassionately relate the high-level version of events but it's obvious the wound she thought was so old and unserious is far more painful and present-tense than she expects. She casually swipes the tears away, tries to change the subject and downplay the impact her parent's intolerance has had. But as Margaret grows incensed on her behalf, you can see Barbara's pain begin to overwhelm her even as she's touched by her daughter's indignant rebuke of people she's never even met. It's such a real-feeling, dynamic bit of screenwriting, directing and acting.
Even bit players like Isol Young (as early bloomer and source of savage envy from Margaret and Nancy, Laura Danker), and Kate MacCluggage (as future blueprint for Nancy, Jan Wheeler) bring a little something extra to their roles. Director Kelly Fremon Craig wrings every bit of sincerity and warmth from the film's modest hour and forty-five minutes.
The complaints I have about the film are sparse and relatively minor. A few of the more emotionally intense scenes feel a little choppy (which may be the director/editor working around some young or inexperienced performances), a handful of plot threads seem a little under explored (Margaret's crush on someone other than the class stud causes her to break her own "no lying" rule but this isn't remarked upon, even when Nancy's own lies cause a rift between Margaret and Nancy, as one example). I also wondered if the old-fashioned feel of the movie (in terms of filmmaking, pacing, and direction, not setting) might make age-appropriate middle school audiences a bit restless. I suspect this film plays best for adult audiences—particularly those who grew up in the 70s and 80s pre-Internet/mobile phones—for whom I suspect this will be ridiculously nostalgic even if they hadn't read the book. But none of it sours what is otherwise a fantastic bit of filmmaking.
In the end I recommend this movie. It's exquisitely crafted and wonderfully entertaining for most audiences, though younger viewers may find the laughs a bit too spaced out and the prominence of the adult characters a bit perplexing for a movie about kids trying to grow up. But I suspect that even though I can't remember it well enough to do a thorough comparison, if you or your kid enjoyed the book, you'll have a great time with the movie as well.

Episode 62 Transcript: Dean's Best Friend That He Just Let Go
[intro guitar music]
G: Hello! My name is Grey.
C: And my name is Crystal.
G: And this is Busty Asian Beauties, a Supernatural commentary podcast where I, somebody who has seen the show several times...
C: And I, someone who only knows the show through social media, discuss every single episode of Supernatural from start to finish. Also, we are both Asian.
G: Both Asian! Okay! So for today's episode, we will be discussing Season 4, Episode 2: "Are You There God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester," written by Sera Gamble, directed by Phil Sgriccia.
C: Mm. [laughs] Phil's made some choices with the flashbacks in this episode.
G: The flashbacks are so funny because they're like-
C: They're so fucking stupid! [laughing] Like, I remember who these people are! You put them in the “Then” sequence, too!
G: I think maybe perhaps it's like, a fact- the fact that Supernatural is a- what do they call this? An episodic show? [laughs] Like, whatever. You know what I mean.
C: Yeah.
G: That's the reason why. Because not everyone watches every episode.
C: Which is why there's the “Then” sequence. But the "Then" sequence is pretty fun this time.
G: It's so fun! What song was in it?
C: It's “Lonely is the Night,” according to tunefind.com.
G: I don't think so.
C: I- did we watch-
G: I mean, maybe it's a different “Lonely is the Night.” [typing] "Lonely is the Night." I mean, like, “Lonely is the Night” is like, an Air Supply song, right? Maybe it's different.
C: It's says “Lonely is the Night,” remastered by Billy Squier, according to the-
G: Yeah. I think it's Squire.
C: Squire? Maybe.
G: Well, maybe, perhaps. It's a good song. It's super fun. We'll talk about it later. But for now, I want to talk about the title.
C: Yes.
G: Love this title. Have you read the book?
C: Yes, I've read, "Are You There God? It's me, Margaret" back when I was a little girl, as many people did with their lives. [laughing] I remember that they had exercises to increase their breast sizes to which they would chant, [overlapping] "I must, I must, I must increase my bust," and I remember that she lied about having her period. Which is such a common feature of like, young cis girl books, and I don't get why.
G: I think for me, what I remember a lot about that book was- Oh, to be to be clear, I read the book after I watched Supernatural because of Supernatural.
C: Oh my god. G: I was like, "This is such an interesting title. I wonder where it's from?" And then I realized it's a book, and I was like, "I must read the book then." But like, so I was a bit older. What I remember the most is how they treated the girl who was taller than everyone. Do you remember?
C: I don't remember that.
G: Like, there's a girl in the story who's like, taller than everyone and she's more physically mature than everyone, and like, they treated her like a piece of shit. Because, like, they treated her like, "Oh, she's dating someone older." "Oh, she's like, seducing the teacher because she's" blah blah blah. And like, I just remember, like, that was such a like- like, it zinged my brain because I was like, that person in grade school.
C: Yeah.
G: But, like, you're right, like, it's such a fascinating look into like, cis girlhood. Fascinating book.
C: Mm-hm. I read the Wiki summary for this book in preparation for this recording-
G: [laughs] Yeah.
C: And that girl- didn't she end up- It was like, they found out that she was like, deeply Catholic, and therefore felt like, extra hurt by all the rumors going around about her.
G: Yeah.
C: Is that part of what zinged your brain? [laughs]
G: I mean, is it- are you saying that it's because I'm Catholic? [laughs]
C: Yes. [laughs] Yes. I am putting you in a box, and I'm telling you to stay there.
G: Okay, so that's enough for our book review of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret."
C: That book is not at all related to this episode.
G: Not at all.
C: I don't know why Sera Gamble decided to snatch it.
G: No because like- Well, because in "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," like, she has this like, whole thing because her parents are different religions, right?
C: Yeah.
G: And it's like, "I want to decide what religion I'm gonna have and if I believe in God" and all that shit, and it's like, here in this episode, Dean is like, "Is God there? Do I believe in a god? What's the deal?" I think that's the thing that they're aiming for.
C: Yeah, but he doesn't menstruate on screen [G laughs], so like, I don't get it.
G: Yeah. But it's a completely fascinating title by itself. Like, if you- Even if you don't know what it's referencing, it's like, a good title. “Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester.”
C: Yeah.
G: It slays.
C: And all that credit should go to Judy Blume instead of ignorant people just watching Supernatural and reading the book after the fact. [G laughing]
G: I mean, it's a very American book.
C: [laughing] Yeah, I don't-
G: And I'm not American. So fuck off [C laughing], as, you know, Logan Roy would say [laughing] in episode 4 of-
C: [laughing] Rest in peace to that man!
G: [laughing] No! No! We're not allowed to say that!
C: Wait, sorry, Succession spoilers- Rest in peace to that man! [both laughing]
G: We're not allowed to say that! It's a spoiler! We're not allowed to say it.
C: Alright, alright, fine. So are you gonna ask me what I know about this episode before going in?
G: Yeah, yeah. What did you know?
C: Nice. So first, I knew that this episode would contain what I consider the horniest Deancas moment in all of history.
G: Oh my god, yeah.
C: Which is, you know, Cas shows up when Dean's sleeping, they have a very tense argument/conversation, and then, like, the camera gets the closest it's ever gotten on anyone's face in the history of Supernatural, and then Cas tells Dean that, like, he pulled him out of Hell so he can throw him back in. So I knew about that. And then I knew from our Season 3 Q&A that this is the episode where Henriksen comes back as an angry ghost, and I guess other people do, too.
-
G: Okay. So we start with the "Road so Far," and as Crystal said, it's "Lonely is the Night" by-
C: Some guy.
G: Some guy. Not Air Supply. [both] Billy Squier.
G: Yeah. I need to imagine if it was the Air Supply song, though that would be wonderful.
C: I don't know what song you're talking about, sorry.
G: It's the one that goes like, "Lonely is the night when I'm not with you / Lonely is the night / There's no light shining through / Til you're in my heart, til you're here by my side"-
C: Sorry, no, I don't-
G: It's so good. It's a karaoke song. It's wonderful.
C: Mm.
G: But the "Road So Far" is super good this episode.
C: Yeah.
G: Yeah, like, they- because I don't even know that the theme of the episode is going to be like, the witnesses. So I thought they were just doing the whole bit of like, "We can't save everyone" and then them not being able to save everyone, just for fun, just for the kicks. [C laughs] Like, I didn't connect the dots that like, "Oh, this is that episode." And also the part where like, Sam, goes like, "You're not going to go to Hell, Dean," and it cut to Lilith opening the door, and it's like, [both] "Sic 'em, boy." It's so good! It's so fun! And then Dean goes to Hell, and then he gets rised up, and then Cas is there. And honestly, seeing Cas in a "Road So Far" is so so so so fun.
C: Yeah. Yeah.
G: It's like, he's there. He's a part of the show.
C: He sure is. I feel like this "Road So Far" sequence does a really good job at like, setting up just the general arc of the episode, because, like, Dean shows up at the end of, like, the list of like, you're introduced to a character, and then they die. Like, Dean shows up like, in the exact same way. You're introduced to a character with Sam's line about him not going to Hell, and then he dies. So like, here he is in just this long list of people that they weren't able to save. But then he gets risen up. And now we have to think about that. It is fun.
G: Yeah. It's so fun. But now, well, the teaser. You know, there's a lady, she's on the couch sleeping, and we can see that the lights and everything are flickering.
C: Yeah, the book on her chest is "The Secret Teachings of All Ages," which is like, a lore like, a mythology book. So like, we already get a hint that she is a hunter before she wakes up.
G: Whoa! That's a nice catch.
C: Yeah.
G: And it's all flickering, and then she wakes up, and she like, goes to this corner of the room where she opens up a cupboard, and it's all weapons. And the phone is ringing, and there's like, a voice- what do you call this? A voice-
C: A voice mail message?
G: Voice mail! Yeah. A voice message that's like, from Bobby, who's saying like-
C: This is a voice mail. Make your voice a mail.
G: Yeah! Yeah. And Bobby is saying like, "Call me back. I've got something big." So, you know. We know she's a hunter from everything that has happened. And then suddenly, like, a guy shows up. He's a ghost. And, like, the lady tries to shoot at the ghost and all that shit. Tries to salt the doorway. Which, now, every time they salt a doorway, I just think about what you said about ghosts respecting the architecture. [laughs] Like, they literally respect the architecture.
C: I don't remember what I said about that.
G: You said like, "They could pass through the walls, but they don't. Because they respect the architecture."
C: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that is true.
Also, like, the way that she does the salt. Like, she picks up a pillow that was on her couch that, like, she was sleeping on, and it's full of salt, and she just pours it out all over the ground. And I think that it's so fun that, like, this is like, her home, and she clearly like, is a hunter but lives in this home. And that she hides her salt and hides her weapons means that, like, she probably has a lot of interaction with the civilian world, so like, I don't know. She's very interesting to me. Like, all new hunters are very interesting to me, and it's sad that she dies immediately.
G: So, Olivia- that's her name, by the way. Her name's Olivia, which we learn from her voice message answering machine message. And she goes like, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." At this guy. And then another, like, person grabs her, and then she like, starts screaming. RIP.
C: Yeah. After seeing how much talking the other ghosts did at like, Sam and Dean and Bobby, like, I understand that cold opens need to be short, but like, wow, they really did Olivia dirty here.
G: Yeah.
-
C: So we get to Bobby's house, and Sam and Dean are having an argument about Cas. And also, Grey, you told me that Dean's hair looks like shit in Season 4, but it didn't that much in "Laz Rising." It does in this episode. He looks terrible in this scene.
G: Whoo! I win. [both laugh]
C: So Sam's on like, the "Yes, this was an angel side," and Dean is on the "All I know is I was not groped by an angel" side. Fascinating way to put it. And I don't- this whole argument, I enjoy it after "Houses of the Holy." It's a good argument. So, you know, blah blah blah, Dean thinks that if angels were real, a hunter would have seen one, blah blah blah. And Bobby eventually tells them to like, shut up and come over here.
The, okay, why is- Okay. So I guess we sort of learned why Dean is so anti it being an angel, but also like, at the end of "Houses of the Holy," he was like, "That bar going through that guy's chest just like that makes me think that there is a divine force out there," right? He forgot. [G laughs] He did have 40 years in between.
G: I also forgot about the "Houses of the Holy" end scene, so, you know.
C: Okay. Alright.
So also, another thought I had during this scene: I feel like part of why Sam's so insistent that it's an angel is because- Okay, we know Sam prays every day, from "Houses of the Holy." He probably prayed every day for like, an angel to bring Dean back. Like, probably part of him wonders if this is like, the answers to his specific prayers.
G: Oh, that's sweet.
C: Yeah. Oh, also, Sam's wearing like, a fun shirt in the scene. It's like, some faded denim wash, like, JC Penney ass shirt. Big fan.
Okay, right. When Sam says that they have a theory, Dean tells him to give him one "with a little less fairy dust on it." Literally clocked Cas as gay within 5 minutes and is also calling Sam a homo.
G: Sastiel.
C: Sastiel. [laughs] So Bobby says that his lore says that angels can take a human soul out of Hell and literally nothing else has that power, and Sam looks pretty psyched about this. He says that this is good news, because “For once, this isn't just another round of demon crap. Maybe you were saved by one of the good guys.” Aw. Well, that's sad.
G: You know, there's a part when it pans to Bobby's book, like, the image is that of an angel rescuing, you know, a soul from Hell, and they have- the angel has their hand over the person's shoulder. And then Dean, like, looks at this, and then puts hand on the shoulder.
C: Oh, yeah.
G: And I was like, "That's cool shit." That's cool shit!
C: That is cool shit. Still so mad the makeup team wouldn't spend an extra 2 hours per episode putting that on Jensen Ackles's arm for every single episode of Supernatural for the rest of eternity, but oh well.
Sam starts saying that this is less and less about faith and more about proof. And then Dean reveals that the reason that he's so like, adamant about this not being an angel is because, [dramatically] "Because... why me?"
G: And then the sad piano-
C: [overlapping] And then the dinkiest sad piano music starts playing [G screams], and I had to pause the episode to laugh and laugh and laugh.
G: It's so funny! It's so funny. It's so funny. Like, it's the most dramatic music ever. [C laughs] "Why me?" Duh-dun, duh-dun. Like, [laughing] what the fuck?
C: And it cuts to like, Sam and Bobby reaction shots, too. They're like, "Oh, wow! We're learning so much, Dean's being so vulnerable-" like, shut the fuck up.
G: Literally.
C: Yeah. He says if there's a God out there like, he doesn't see why he would care about him specifically. He says that he saved some people, so that maybe makes up for the "stealing and the ditching chicks." [laughing] It doesn't.
G: The stealing is fine. Who gives a shit.
C: Yeah, stealing's fine. And then he says that he's just some guy.
G: He's just a regular guy! Regular guy.
C: He's just a regular guy. He's just an innocent man. So Sam says, you know, blah blah blah, “You must be important to God.” Dean says that that creeps him out, and Sam does like, this sigh thing on that. And like, do you think Sam's jealous of Dean?
G: I have thought about this.
C: He just- he wants to be God’s special little guy, doesn't he? Like, a little bit.
G: I think Sam wants to be holy in some way. Like, I think- I think it's reasonable to think that he's thinking like, “Why does Dean get to be God's special little guy, and I'm like, literally demonic?” But like, I don't think that's something in this episode. Like, I don't think that subtext is in this episode. I think that's more towards, you know, the rest of the season. And the show!
C: Yeah. Yeah. That is true. If Sam was asked to be an angel vessel in like, an earlier season, he would hop on that shit so fast, though. Like, I know that in my heart.
G: I don't think so. I think he'll be wary of it, but I guess what you're saying.
C: "Houses of the Holy," like he saw that the supposed angel caused like, three people to go to jail or a psychiatric ward for the rest of their lives, and when he saw like, revelation or whatever, he was immediately like, “Oh my god! Yes, baby, I will kill that rapist!” you know? [laughs] Like, he seemed very willing to do God's will as soon as he believed that it was God's will.
Okay, Dean finally acquiesces and ask Bobby to give him the angel readings, and Bobby like, slaps a big old pile of books on the table. And then Dean decides that he's gonna try to be funny. Jensen Ackles decides that he's gonna try to be funny [G laughs] by saying to Sam, "You're gonna get me some pie." And then, like, slapping the book pile a bit-
G: No, no! He grabbed a book. It's just that the topmost book is the thinnest book of all time. [C laughs] Like, it's a fucking pamphlet.
C: I see, okay.
G: And he's like, "I'm gonna read this, and I deserve some cake for it."
C: Yeah. The thing about this episode is that-
G: Did I say cake? I meant pie.
C: The thing about this episode is they try to make jokes, and I don't find a single one of them funny. Like, it's not a bad episode, but every attempt at humor falls incredibly flat for me.
G: It's completely fascinating to me that, like, they're really hammering home the pie thing this episode.
C: [laughs] Yeah.
G: Why? And also, in relation to that, I don't even know where I heard this, but like, maybe it's one of those like, YouTube shorts, which is my TikTok, as I like to say, where like, it's a podcast, and they're talking in the podcast, and it's like, a clip of the podcast episode, you know? And there's one where they're talking about how cake vs pie. With cake, it's very easy to have bad cake. Like, if you just go to a diner and buy and get some cake, it's probably gonna be shitty, but when you get good cake, it's really really fucking good. But good cake is expensive, good cake takes some time to bake, good cake takes a lot of like, effort, blah blah blah. But like, with pie, whatever tier of price point or like, effort, or whatever you're making pie with, it's always going to be good.
C: McDonald's pies do slap.
G: Yeah. But like, the maximum goodness of a pie is lower than that of cake's. And I thought about Dean while listening to that. And I was like, "Well, I guess it makes sense he prefers pie over cake, because, like, if you go to a diner and you get a pie versus a cake, chances are you get a better pie."
So Sam goes forth into the world to buy some pie, and like, it's a whole thing. Like, he's on the phone, and he's like, "Yeah, Dean, I'll get the chips. [C laughs] When did I ever forget the pie?" And then, like, he turns around to look at the diner, and Ruby is there. And his face like, goes like, all serious. And he goes, "I gotta go." And then he walks over to Ruby!
C: She looks great.
G: So Ruby starts asking- Do you think Ruby looks great? I mean, she looks great, obviously.
C: Yeah, she always looks great.
G: Genevieve Padalecki is a very wonderful woman. Like, looks-wise. [C laughs] I love how I had to clarify that. [laughs] Looks-wise! That's horrible.
C: Yeah. She's wearing like, a black t-shirt with like, rhinestones on it. Like, very 2000s. And she has a black jacket with it. And, I don't know. She's such an alive girl. Good for her.
G: Mm-hm. I think I just really don't like her acting.
C: It is a little bit rusty in this scene as well, I think. Like, when she's trying to like, portray strong emotion like, she tries too hard, I think.
G: When, do you think, will she unrust?
C: I don't know. I think we'll just get used to it. {G laughs]
G: This is just the new Ruby.
C: Yeah.
G: So she asks if it really was an angel, and Sam’s like, “Oh, you heard?” And Ruby says, “Who hasn't?” Which I thought was so fascinating, like, how did everyone hear? Like, was Cas going to that bar such a big commotion?
C: Huh. Well, he did burn out the eyes of those demons in the diner. So it's possible that other demons found the bodies and was like, "I recognize this as like, angelic interference."
G: An angel? Yeah, I suppose so. And then Ruby immediately goes, "Okay, bye, Sam!"
C: [laughing] God, she's so fucking real.
G: And Sam's like, "What the fuck? What's going on?" And then she, you know, explains that she's a demon, they're angels, and angels are like, ferocious creatures, and that they smite first and they ask questions later. They're not gonna care if she's being helpful. They're not gonna care if she's one of the good guys. And she says she's never met one, but she doesn't intend to, because they scare the holy hell out of her, so. And she says, “Watch yourself, Sam.” And Sam said something that I was like, “Aww.” He says, “I'm not scared of angels.”
C: Yeah, sorry, babe.
G: I love that. I love that.
C: Yeah, I like this whole exchange very much, because Ruby's saying like, “You are collaborating with me, and you are drinking demon blood, and you had demon blood in you as a baby, like, their 'smite first, ask questions later' thing might apply to you." And Sam just like, doesn't even comprehend that that could be the case, you know? Like, he's like, “I'm like, pious, and I'm being a good guy. Like, I'm not scared of angels. What? We're the same? No, we're not.” But like, not even like, that self-aware. And it's fun. I like to see it.
G: Yeah.
-
C: So Sam comes back to Bobby's place. They're like, in the scrapyard, and Bobby comes over and says that they're gonna start driving directly to his friend Olivia's house because she knows about angel lore and stuff. So he's been trying to contact her, but she hasn't gotten back to him for three days. Sam knows Olivia Lowry to be a hunter. I guess, I don't know. He probably heard about her from Ellen or something. Where is Ellen, by the way?
G: I don't know. She's chilling. She doesn't have a bar.
C: Or a house.
G: Yeah. I mean, are they gonna show up in Season 4? Who knows?
C: I don't know. I don't think they do.
G: Who even knows?
C: Where have they been for three seasons or whatever? Yeah. Right. So also, like, to note, Sam is in the Impala, and he's the one who's like, driving it back. But then Dean comes over and tells Sam to scoot so that he can get into the driver's seat. So, you know, I guess another tick mark in the “Who is driving the Impala shows the power and balance between the brothers” thing. And yeah. Sam has forgotten the pie. It's very, very sad. So they show up to Olivia's, and they go inside, and she's dead on the floor. Incredibly gory. Like, so fun gory.
G: Yeah. Bobby immediately walks out. [laughs]
C: Yeah. And Bobby just takes one look and immediately walks out. And we find out later that it's just because he was like, calling other hunters in the area. But like, I like it better as just like, an emotional response to his friend being dead and very gross on the ground. Like, the seconds during which I thought that he just left because he was overwhelmed was like the most human I'd ever seen Bobby so far. But no, he was just being another plot utility guy.
So yeah. Sam and Dean see that there was a salt line, see that the EMF reader is like, burned out, meaning that, like, whatever ghosts were here were like, extra extra powerful. And then Bobby comes back in and says that “Oh, like, what I did during the five seconds I was outside was call a bunch of hunters nearby and found that none of them were answering their phones. So something is up.” Sad! That nobody replied to Bobby's call.
G: Yeah. And they do a whole sequence of like, phone ringing for like, another hunter. And then it's like, while the phone rings, it goes to his body, and it's torn apart. It's pretty gory. Gory stuff.
C: It's an incredibly ugly scene editing-wise-
G: Yeah. Cuts.
C: - because they just do a bunch of like, flashes of parts of his house like they're on a fucking BBC Sherlock episode, [G laughs] and then to be like, "Clues. Look! There's blood on the floor. I wonder what that means?" And then we see his body. It's quite fun. Like, it looks like his entire ribcage has been like, pried open to expose, like, his intestines and shit, you know?
-
G: Yeah. Sam and Dean are talking to Bobby on the phone again, and they're like, "Yeah, we visited someone, and, you know, they're torn to shreds." And then, like, Bobby says, “I checked on Carl Bates and R.C. Adams."
C: "They redecorated. In red.”
G: In red.
C: It's bad.
G: And it's like, stop! It's so bad.
C: It's not funny. It's boring. You said a boring thing, Bobby.
G: Yeah. And then, you know, they're like, trying to brainstorm what's happening. Bobby's like, "Just go to my house until we find out what's happening because like, this is obviously attacking hunters." And then we go to Dean sleeping on the passenger seat, and Sam is like, driving, which I thought was so fun. Sam, like, goes out to get some gas and goes to the restroom. Okay, fascinating thing. Did you know that like, in the Philippines, we call the restrooms “comfort rooms”?
C: Oh. Huh.
G: Which, like, I don't know. I brought it up once to someone, and they were like, "What a weird thing to say!" Like, they didn't know that I was talking about the restroom. Because I was saying like, "Oh, I'm going to the CR. The CR." They're like, "What the fuck is the CR," and I was like, "Comfort room!" [both laughing] And they're like, "What the fuck is a comfort room?" I thought that was so funny.
C: Yeah.
G: Yeah. I think we should integrate that to the vocabulary of every English-speaking country.
C: Let's- sure, let's do it.
G: It's a fun thing to say.
As Sam like, goes to wash his hands or something, we see that his breath becomes, you know, foggy. Which is a whole thing this episode. Like, every single time a ghost shows up, they do it. Like, there's just a foggy breath thing going on. And then he sees Henriksen.
C: Henriksen!
G: From the reflection of the mirror. And, like, my first thought was, "It's fascinating that they send Henriksen to Sam." 'Cause I didn't know how the rest of the episode will pan out, and like, spoiler! Henriksen ends up being like, Dean's final foe. And then Meg, who shows up with Dean first, becomes Sam's final foe. Which is what you would expect, you know. But I think it's fascinating that they start off with it reversed. So we get both's reaction to the information, and, you know, it's super fun!
C: It is.
G: And then Sam at first think that Henriksen survived, which he didn't. He starts flickering, and it's like, obvious that didn't. And Henriksen is mad. He's mad at Sam for leaving like, people in the police station to die. "In your place" is what he calls it. And he's like, "You did this to me. It was your fault." And they start fighting. Like, Henriksen starts attacking Sam, and he's super powerful. Sam sees like, a little brand on Henriksen's hand, and then, like, they're being thrown around, they're being thrown around.
C: Yeah. I thought that the reason this confrontation took place in the gas station bathroom was so that they could recreate the Henriksen toilet face shot but with Sam being drowned in the toilet-
G: I know! I know!
C: But he did not. Sam did not get drowned in any toilet, and that's a shame.
G: When when they hit some in the head with the sink, like, my first thought was, "They should have done it in the toilet or in the urinal. That would be more fun."
C: Yeah. [both laugh]
G: Yeah, that's my only hot take. Anyway, Dean shows up, shoots, and it's a whole thing. The ghost disappears.
C: Oh, wait we didn't mention, when Henriksen showed up, we get a bunch of stupidass flashbacks of him.
G: Oh, yeah! The flashbacks. We didn't mention it because it's stupid as fuck.
C: They're black and white, and they're fucking dumb. They're terrible. And it undermines every time a ghost shows up. It undermines, like, the shock and like, interest of their presence so much by having those stupid ass flashbacks.
G: Yeah.
C: The worst one when Meg tells Dean like, "Hey, remember, when you threw me off a building?" and then [laughing] it flashes back-
G: [laughing] - to her fucking falling out of the window.
C: - to her being thrown out of the window! Like, in case people don't understand what the words "threw off a building" mean? Like, in case people are visual learners? [both laugh] Like, Jesus.
G: Yeah.
-
G: We go to Bobby's house, and he's just hanging out when, like, laughing noises start happening. Is that right? But, like, you know, he hears some noises, and he starts walking. And he sees that there are two little girls, like, behind him. And it's a whole thing. It's like, you know, usual horror. Like, two little twin girls, and they're wearing twin dresses.
C: Yeah. Sam Sam and Dean are back in the Impala ‘cause Dean shot Henriksen, etc., etc. Sam has like, a little cut over his eye, and he looks real cute with it. And Dean's been trying to call Bobby, but he's not picking up. Sam does not have a concussion, which is fun. And Dean says to Sam “Henriksen?” which is fascinating, because when he meets Henriksen again, he only calls him Victor.
G: That's fascinating.
C: So... they had sex. I don't know when in that episode they had the time, but they did.
Sam says that Henriksen wanted revenge because “we got him killed.” And Dean goes like, “Sam,” and Sam goes, “Well, we did, Dean." Which, you know, as you said, Sam only blames himself for things that he hasn't done and does not blame himself enough for things that he has. [laughs] So Dean's like, "Shut up, stop with all the self-loathing. Let's just keep on truckin'." And then we cut to the Impala driving later, and like, Sam and Dean were talking- like, it was night. And now it is day.
G: Yeah. Now it's day.
C: [laughs] How far away were they from Bobby's house?
G: Maybe it was midnight. Maybe it was like, 4AM and now it's 6AM.
C: Okay, fine. I'll take it.
Right. They go in. They're looking for Bobby. There's an iron poker that was dropped on the ground. Dean-
G: Also, I want to say when Dean like, tries to shout Bobby's name, he does it in a soft voice. Like, he's like trying to whisper, but he's trying to shout out at the same time, and he goes, "Bobbay!" [both laugh] And I love it. It's literally Bobbay.
C: It's literally Bobbay. So Dean says, “I'm gonna look inside. Sam, you go search the junkyard.” And Bobby is in the junkyard. He's like, trapped in a car, and, like, the twins are like, covering his mouth, but Sam cannot find him. And Dean, upstairs, hears a sound, and somebody appears behind him, and that somebody is a Meg Masters, the human vessel for the demon Meg, and she looks different than Meg did in that she has like, longer brown hair instead of cropped blonde hair, and like, she's wearing a different outfit than Meg usually is. But she still has Meg's voice, which is a very good voice. Thank you for having that voice.
So, you know, she appears and greets him, and then we get some ugly ass flashbacks to Meg. And then Meg Master says, “This is what I looked like, before that demon cut off my hair and dressed me like a slut.” [screams]
G: And then they do flashbacks of Meg, and she's literally wearing like, a full-on jacket, full-on-
C: Yeah, a jacket, like, a high-collared shirt. Like, a higher collar than like, human Meg is wearing. [laughs]
G: Yeah, wearing jeans-
C: [laughing] What does it mean to dress her like a slut? What are you saying?
Right. Okay. So, and this is the first time that- Okay, I really enjoy Meg and hair throughout Supernatural, because we know that in Season 8 after Meg is captured by Crowley, her hair has been dyed blonde, and, like, she says that like, Crowley did it to her, right?
G: Yeah.
C: Which is like, fucking wild. But I feel like, that- I think a lot of what is happening here is just like, the Meg actresses having different hairstyles for different, like, roles, but like, them, choosing to incorporate that into the plot so that it becomes a motif throughout her story.
G: Yeah.
C: And I do find, like, the voluntary, you know, bleaching, like, turn-around while being captured by Crowley very interesting for her as a character. And I also feel like this is like, sort of the first we've heard of a demon really doing a lot to modify the appearance of their vessel, because a lot of times it's like, "This is a meat suit and I just use it to get around." Like, they don't change their outfits or anything. But like, Meg, like, she customized, you know?
G: Yeah.
C: And I like it. I like it a lot. And also something else that this makes me think of is the headcanon that Meg 2.0 is not the original demon, but is like, Meg Masters the human after she died and went to Hell, like, becoming a demon.
G: Aw.
C: Which I like, because like, that, maybe explains why the new Meg’s vessel has like, long dark hair, and like, she doesn't want to bleach it or anything because it seemed like that was her preferred look before Season 7. So yeah. I missed her. Good to see her again.
G: Yeah.
C: And Dean goes, "Oh my god, Meg?" And she says, “Hi!” And then, there's like, a cut to ads.
-
G: And, you know, Dean realizes that this is not demon Meg. This is Meg Masters, as in the girl that was possessed by the demon. And Meg is angry. She's saying that like, “I was a college girl. And then one night, I just got jumped by the demon, and I was a prisoner for the whole time." And she was saying that she was awake the whole time and she watched the demon murder people. And then Dean says, like, “I'm sorry.” And this is how Dean reacts to everyone. [C laughs] Like, he just goes like, “I'm sorry. I'm sorry.”
C: Sowwy.
G: And like, at some point like, we see it like, be a trick in a way. Because he's like, saying, “I'm sorry. I should have saved you” while trying to reach out for a weapon. But like, in general, this is the vibe with Dean. Like, “Sorry, my bad!” [laughs] He literally says "my bad." [C laughs] And then Meg is like, “Oh, yeah, you're so sorry you had me thrown off a building?"
C: Stupid ass flashback.
G: And she says that, yeah, she said that she was waiting and praying that somebody would help her. But, you know, Dean, who was supposed to help people, didn't help her.
C: Yeah.
G: She's mad Dean keeps saying sorry, and it's a whole thing. And like, yeah. It's like, just her kicking Dean around and shit.
C: Mm-hm. She's so right.
G: And in the car, the two girls are like, holding the Bobby down-
C: Hold on. The last thing that Dean says before it cuts to Bobby is "We did the best we could." Fuck off. [laughs] No, you didn't.
G: I mean, they didn't know. They were unaware.
C: It's true, they didn't know.
G: But like, they should have known. They should have known.
C: Yeah, it weird- in "Phantom Traveler"-
G: Yeah, exactly.
C: They exorcised a demon from the co-pilot, and he was alive after that, and he was a person before and after that. Like, they should have known. There's no reason that they wouldn't have known.
G: Yeah. They just didn't think about it that much, which is what Meg is talking about. "You just didn't think about it."
C: Yeah, hunters just try to focus on killing the demon and consider the vessel a lost cause most of the time already. Which is highly unforch.
G: Yeah. And then back in the outside world, Bobby is being held down by like, two girls. They're like, they have their hands on his mouth, in a like, “Stay silent, Bobby,” that way. And then they're saying like, “Are you scared, Bobby? Because we were scared when the monsters came for us, and you were right there, and you passed by our door, and you didn't do anything. You could have saved us, but you didn't do anything,” [C laughs] and it's a whole thing. And we start cutting back and forth from Meg to Bobby. With Meg's side, it's like she's saying that she had a little sister who loved her so much. And then, when they found Meg's dead body in the morgue, the sister killed herself.
C: Yeah. And Meg, you know, appeals to Dean's mirror instincts a lot with that when she says like, “You know how little siblings are, right? How they'll do anything for you.” And I like, this a lot because I also think about how like, when Meg was a demon, like, she tried to trigger Sam’s mirror instincts in “Scarecrow” by being like, “Oh, like, my family like, wanted to hold me back, but like, I needed to like, get out and be independent and stuff.” And I don't know. The way that human Meg fits into her human family structure also makes me think about how like, right now, she is like, an older sister so she's being a Dean mirror, but like, back then, like, she was Azazel's daughter, and, like, her demon brother sort of seemed like her older brother in a way, so like, how Meg's family position determines which brother she decides to like, try to like, relate to or whatever? Anyway.
G: Yeah, but this is not Meg. That's a different Meg.
C: Yeah. That is a different Meg. But I feel like they are considering both of them in the way they write either of them, I would assume.
G: She's saying that like, the reason why her sister is dead now is because of Dean, and it's a whole thing. And then back in the car, like, Sam just starts opening up random ass cars. I respect that. I respect that.
C: Yeah, same.
G: He's like, "Bobby, are you here? Bobby, are you here?" And he's prying open trunks and everything until he sees like, a reflection up in like, an elevated car? I don't even know what the positioning is here.
C: Oh, I thought what he noticed was that the car mirror was frozen over for that car only.
G: Oh! I didn't know that. I thought he saw Bobby from the mirror.
C: That's probably also part of it.
G: He opens the door, and then, like, it's a whole thing. Like, Sam falls down, and then we see a shot of Bobby, like, overlooking Sam. And I thought that was like, so goofy for some reason. I don't even remember why. I was like, "That's goofy."
C: Indeed.
G: Yeah. And then Dean takes a gun out and holds it over Meg. And Meg says, like, “Silly. You can't like, damage me with a gun.” And then Dean goes like, “I'm not shooting you,” and then he shoots upward to this iron, like, fucking chandelier, and it falls over Meg. And as he falls backwards, he goes, he says, [dramatically] “Iron." [laughs] That's so stupid!
C: The damage that Sam and Dean have wrought to Bobby's house over the years is incalculable.
G: Incalculable. But also just the fact that he was like, "It's iron," like, no one. To no one. Nobody's there. It's just him. "Iron." He's so stupid.
C: He is quite stupid.
-
C: So we cut to a little bit later. Everyone's safe, and Dean mentions seeing the brand, and Sam is able to recreate it from memory-
G: He's so smart.
C: - and Bobby says, “Okay, let's go somewhere safe.” Yeah, he's so smart.
G: This guy has photographic memory or whatever that's called. Photogenic memory? [laughs] I don't think so.
C: No, it's photographic, I think.
So Bobby takes them to the basement, and then he takes them to the famous panic room! Which I know of as the place where they hold Sam for all his demon blood detoxes. Whoever came up with the ceiling fan, like, moving a lot, and like, light coming through so like, there's like, a shadow that's ever-shifting, and like, the sound that's there the whole time, like, deserves a raise. Like, whoever on the set design department did that. Because it is such a good feature of this space.
G: Yeah, and like, it's fun, like, right now, because it's like, the boys are super impressed by this, and they're like, "Wow! This is so cool, Bobby! I can't believe you hid this from us, Bobby." And it's fun. And I just, like, you know, once you watch the rest of the show, you kind of remember this room specifically for housing Sam later.
C: Yeah.
G: And so like, it's fascinating that this is how it begins with like, Sam and Dean super super impressed, and then it like, becomes a room where Sam is imprisoned. Like, it's fun.
C: Yeah, I agree. And it's like, circular, and apparently it's built like, entirely of iron and coated in salt, so like, it is safe from ghosts and demons. Right. And it is pretty cool, but Sam and Dean call it like, the coolest thing ever like, 20 times, in the next like, 5 minutes, and by the end of it, I was sick of this room.
G: Yeah.
C: There's like, some stupid bit where, like, Dean notices that there's like, a poster of a woman in a swimsuit like, on the wall. Does Bobby not know about the Internet?
G: I don't think this is like, a pornographic thing. Like, you can just have a picture of a lady in a swimsuit.
C: The way Dean reacts to it, though. And also, swimsuit magazines, like, back in the day, that was the closest that a lot of people got to porn or whatever.
G: Yeah, I don't think Bobby- I mean, do you do you guys have in the US, like, those beer calendars? Where it's like a lady in a bikini?
C: Probably? Probably.
G: Yeah.
C: But this was just an image from a magazine. [G laughs]
G: I mean, yeah, I suppose. You know what's fascinating is that we have those calendars- We don't put them up. But like, we have a relative who works at the beer company. [laughs] And like, it's so funny to say "the beer company" as if there's only one-
C: There is only one.
G: - but like in the Philippines, there's like, one big one, and like, he works there. So we always have at like, Christmas gatherings, it's like, "Oh, the calendars for the next year are out!" and he's like, distributing them to everyone, and it's a whole thing. I just think it's so funny.
C: That is pretty funny.
G: And it's like, "Oh, who's the model this year?" And it's like, "Oh, it's her! Hm, hm," and it's a whole thing [laughs], I think it's so fucking funny.
C: [laughs] Good for the model this year.
So later, Sam and Dean are like, making like, either iron bullets or salt bullets for beating the ghosts. And Dean says- well, Dean, just rediscovers the Problem of Evil or whatever again.
G: Yeah. Didn't he discover this earlier in the show?
C: In "Sin City"?
G: Yeah.
C: I think so. And probably also in "Houses of the Holy." [G laughs] God.
G: Yeah.
C: It's so annoying when people do this. Like, everyone's already gone through the "Why do bad things happen to good people?" debate. Like, Dean thinks he's being soo smart for this. Like, shut up.
G: Well, we all have to start somewhere.
C: [laughs] I guess so. Alright. So he says that he can't believe in God because if everything's random chance, then it's okay for like, random, horrible things to happen to good people. But if he does exist, then why isn't he stepping in when everyone is getting torn to shreds? So yeah. I mean, this is the free will show. We'll find out the answer.
G: Yeah, at some point like, Sam just looks over at Bobby, in a like, "Bobby, can you answer this?" type of way. [both laugh] He's like, "Bobby, you can go talk to him. I don't wanna." And, Bobby just goes, "I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole." [laughs] I thought actually that was that one was pretty funny.
C: Okay. I am glad you found it funny. I feel like, it fell pretty flat for me. I just don't think that-
G: No, what I found amusing was Sam being like, "Um... Bobby?" [both laugh]
C: Yeah. That part was funny.
G: Like, not Bobby's comment. But Sam being like, "Well, I mean, Bobby's here. Maybe he can answer." So real.
C: Right. "What does the lore say about the Problem of Evil, Bobby?" [G laughs]
G: Yeah.
-
C: So Bobby finds out that the brand on the ghosts the Mark of the Witness. So, apparently, if someone dies of supernatural causes, they can be forced to come back as ghosts by someone. And when they wake up they're in agony. “Like rabid dogs,” he says, so their actions are not their own fault. And they don't know who exactly rose these ghosts up. And apparently, this event is called the Rising of the Witnesses. That is part of an ancient prophecy from “Revelations” in the Bible. He makes like, some like, joke about the Bible, where, like, Dean asks, “What book is that from?” And Bobby is like, “Well, the widely distributed version’s just for tourists, you know," like, okay, haha, whatever. And apparently, this is a sign of the Apocalypse.
G: You know what I was thinking this scene? I was thinking, “Goddamn. Bobby is so good at research!” [both laugh] Like, what the fuck? Could never be me.
C: He doesn't even PDFs. He can't even Ctrl+F. Like, he has to flip through books with his hands.
G: He can't even Ctrl+F, he can't even look shit up in Google Scholar.
C: He doesn't even have those little rubber thingies that you put at the end of your fingers to make it easier to turn pages.
G: Yeah, he has to lick his finger! [laughs]
C: Yeah.
G: Ew
C: Ew.
G: So they keep on talking about what, you know, the Apocalypse is. And well, Sam’s like, “Okay, so what do we do now?” And Dean goes, “Let's go in a road trip, baby! Like, I don't fucking- Grand Canyon, Star Trek Experience. Bunny Ranch!” And I thought that was funny.
C: Well, do you know what the Bunny Ranch is? 
G: No. No. Is that a bad thing?
C: Well, it's not- It's one of the few legal brothels in the US that is located in Nevada.
G: Oh!
C: It's like, very expensive, I think. But apparently, the owner, who, I think, was alive at the time this episode aired is like a- was. He's dead. - Was a fucking creep who like, raped his workers a lot. So yeah. But that was not known yet. I feel like that came out around 2015.
G: Got it. Yeah.
C: But yeah, no, it'd be so fun if Dean just wanted to go to like, a petting zoo with bunnies, [G laughs] but I don't think that's what he's saying.
G: Yeah. Bobby, like, you know, refocuses their discussion from like, the Apocalypse back to "What the fuck are we going to do with these witnesses?" And he says there's a spell, but they need to get out of the panic room. So they go to the library, where there's a fireplace where they control the- I don't know, spell after. And then, as they go out, we see Ronald. [C laughing] As in like, they're walking out of the panic room and up the stairs, Ronald’s just sitting there. And Dean is like, happy to see him!
C: If you don't remember who that is, that was Dean’s best friend who he just let go [laughs] in "Nightshifter."
G: Yeah! I can't believe Ronald come back! I can't believe our best friend is here!
C: Yeah. Yeah. And I think he literally was Dean’s best friend who he just let go.
G: No, but like, do you see the way Dean, like, fucking lights up?
C: Yeah.
G: Like, he's like, "Oh, Ronald!" Like, he literally was so happy to see him. That's literally his best friend. [C laughs] And then, you know, Bobby shoots Ronald while he's saying like, “I was dead because of you! You're supposed to help me!” And like, Bobby shoots, and Deans like, “[gasps] My best friend, and I just let him go yet again.” [C laughs]
C: We know from like, the lore that these ghosts are like- they do contain the original consciousness of the people in them.
G: Yeah!
C: So why do they all talk exactly the same? Why did Ron and Meg have the exact same line about how “I died because of you, and you were supposed to help me”?
G: Well, maybe like, that's the mark talking, you know. It's the brand talking or whatever.
C: Interesting. So like, you think that there is sort of like, a script that Lilith fed them that goes with their consciousness now?
G: Yeah. I suppose so.
C: Okay. Alright. I'll take it.
G: It adds to the creep factor because, like, I don't know. They're all the same, I think the only unique one was the kids, actually.
C: The kids were so boring, though.
G: Yeah, they're boring because we don't know them. But like, it's like, unique in a way, you know what I mean? Because it's like, they're not like, kicking, screaming. They're like, "We're gonna do the thing that you do when you're kids where you cover your mouth and your nose until you pass out," or whatever. Do kids actually do that?
C: I don't know.
G: I used to do that to myself, like, "I'm gonna see how long I can not breathe," and you just cover your mouth and your nose.
C: Yeah, I think I've done that, but I was always a weakling, and I never succeeded at getting past like, 20 seconds, so.
G: Yeah. And then they go to the library, and they start setting up. So like, Bobby sent Sam to get something, and then Dean to get something as well. The girls, like, the twins show up at Bobby, and they talk to Bobby, and then Bobby shoots. Like, Meg shows up-
C: To Sam, who's upstairs.
G: At Sam. She says that, like, “I suffered for months, being possessed by a demon. And now you're just doing the same thing- you're just like, hanging out with Ruby. How many girls has she fucking burned through for kicks like me? And then you're not sending her back to Hell. You're a monster!” And then Sam shoots.
C: Yeah. Two things about this. Like, first, I'm surprised that since she apparently can like, read his mind and know everything, I'm surprised she doesn't bring up that he also got possessed by Meg. Or that he doesn't bring it up.
G: Yeah.
C: Like, they're one of the two people around who have had that experience. Second, we learn later from "I Know What You Did Last Summer" that Ruby is currently very ethically possessing her body.
G: Yeah!
C: And that Sam was the one who urged her into that.
G: They specifically do that to make sure that, like-
C: They can fuck.
G: - when they eventually have sex, like, it's like, not fucking weird and bad, you know?
C: Yeah.
G: I respect that. I respect that.
C: I respect that. [G laughs]
C: What?
G: I mean, they do that to Cas as well. [laughs]
C: Oh, right. They kill Jimmy Novak off, so that in 5.03, Dean can make sure Cas doesn't die a virgin.
G: Yeah.
-
G: Henriksen shows up at Dean, and Dean goes, "Victor!" and Henriksen goes, "Dean!"
C: It's insane, the- okay, like, Deanvictor is so fucking real.
G: Dean starts saying, like, “I know it's my fault” and blah blah blah. “The minute I heard about the explosion, I thought, ‘I should have known. I should have protected you.’” And like, he tries to reach out for his gun, but like, it gets flung out of the way. And then Henriksen says and reveals that they didn't actually just die like, from the white light. They were fucking tortured for 45 minutes. And then, like, Lilith skinned Nancy, and then made everybody watch, and Henriksen was the last one to get flayed, I suppose.
C: Yeah. We saw the white light, though. This is a retcon.
G: Maybe it's like, white light is like, to get them to another place where she can do her bidding or whatever.
C: Okay, sure.
G: And like, maybe it's like, soul, though. Like, maybe like, the souls, are the ones that were tortured. Like, that's also a possibility. Because they- their bodies exploded. Like, when it exploded, they were able to recognize the bodies as like, Henriksen was here, and Nancy was here-
C: I don't think they were able to recognize the bodies 'cause they said that Sam and Dean also died.
G: Oh, 'cause they said that Sam and Dean are there. Yeah, I suppose. Anyway, Henriksen says that like, “Why is it that I had to suffer and I had to die, and then you were raised from Hell? Like, it's unfair. Why do you deserve another chance, Dean?” And then Sam comes in, shoots Henriksen. And then they go back to the library. It's a whole thing. Bobby's chanting, and then like, wind is happening everywhere.
C: This is the last line Henriksen says, right?  We promised in the Q&A that we would actually talk about him this episode, right?
G: But I have no idea what to say. I don't want to force like, a conversation.
C: I mean, yeah, I feel like the main things to say about Henriksen is just that, like, he was set up as like, a potential future hunter and ally, but they only did it to make his death more tragic, which is annoying.
G: I don't even think they made his death tragic.
C: That's true. They didn't make his death tragic. It was just like, sudden flash, whatever whatever.
G: And like, even now that, like, he got tortured like, the whole point is still like, about Dean, you know, and all that shit.
C: Yeah.
G: And like, "Why is it that Dean gets to have another chance?" Like, that's the main question.
C: Yeah. That is true.
G: Yeah. So they're back at the library, wind is everywhere, Bobby's chanting. The salt line is being un-salt-lined. It's a fight scene, basically, where all the ghosts are trying to attack, and they're losing salt bullets. And, like, Dean picks up a fire poker and starts slashing at these people. Sam gets cornered to a wall by a desk, [C laughs] and like, he goes, "Dean, protect Bobby!" And Dean literally does such a bad job. Like, bang-up job there, Dean. Like, because, like, a ghost literally tries to get Bobby's heart at some point
C: Oh, yeah, Meg-
G: Which we forgot to mention-
C: Oh, yeah. The way Henriksen tries to kill Dean is that he like, reaches through his chest to try to stop his heart, and he's only stopped by Sam shooting him with salt. And for Bobby's case, Meg, I think, like, tries to grab his spinal cord through his back, which I think is very neat. But then, yeah, doesn't happen.
G: Like, Bobby accidentally lets go off the bowl, and then, like, it's a slow-motion thing where he tells Dean, "The fireplace!" and Dean like, gets the bowl and throws it to the fireplace, and the fire burns blue, baby! And then the ghosts disappear.
C: Yep.
-
C: So-
G: Oh my god, you're taking the scene!
C: I guess I am taking The Scene. So we cut to later that night, and Sam's asleep on the couch and a little T-shirt, and he looks so cute. And Dean's asleep. But then he wakes up, and... guess who's in the kitchen, guys? Guys, guys. Who's in the kitchen? It's fucking Cas! It's fucking Cas.
G: It's Castiel!
C: Ahhh! He's literally there!
G: It's so-
C: He's wearing his trenchcoat, his hair is messy, he looks amazing. Yeah?
G: They do it so well. Like, the vibes of Season 4 Cas is so immaculate.
C: Yeah.
G: Like, especially in this scene, I don't even know how to describe it. It's almost- it's electric. It's like, when Dean was walking towards him, and it's like, so quiet and like, Dean is whispering and Cas is just speaking in his normal voice, like, I don't know. It's like, oh my god! It's so good!
C: His presence is just like, so like, captivating, and I don't- What did they put in the water? God, it's so good. It's so good.
G: Literally.
C: Yeah, Dean makes sure that Sam's asleep before he goes to talk to Cas, which, like, why? [G laughs] Whatever. Who cares. At least we get this scene out of it. So Cas lets Dean know, "Excellent job with the witnesses." He says that he was “uh, made aware” of what happened. Agh, I love what he talks vaguely and in his dry little voice with his little face. He's soo good. Dean does like, a sarcastic like, "Thanks a lot for like, helping like, save us" blah blah blah like, his general like, "Why, isn't God interfering?"
G: Yeah, he says, “You know, I almost got my [both] heart ripped out of my chest!” And I was like- I like that line delivery. Like, I like it.
C: Mm. And Cas basically just rolls his eyes and goes, “But you didn’t.”
G: “But you didn’t.”
C: Ahhhhh! I want him sooo bad. You know, Dean's like, “I thought angels were supposed to be nice and stuff.” And Cas says his iconic line of “Read the Bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a soldier.” Yeah you are, baby! And, you know, Dean is not satisfied with this, because Cas did not perform his soldierly duties, but Cas says that he is not here to perch on his shoulder and that “We had larger concerns.” And ah. No, okay. The way he goes he goes like, "I'm not here to... perch. On your shoulder."
G: "Perch. On your shoulder." Yeah.
C: Like, I love where he chooses to like, pause in his sentences. Like, he's very good at drawing out the tension, and like, making it seem like he's being very deliberate with all his word choice-
G: Yeah!
C: And also like, barely- it's like, every word he manages to say, it's like, he's just- he's deigning to give Dean like, a sentence. You know what I mean? Like, he seems like, just mildly annoyed the whole time, and I love that vibe.
You know, Dean's mad that, you know, "There were people getting torn to shreds down here.” And he also asks, “Where the hell is God, if he even exists?” And you know, Cas says immediately, “There's a God,” but like, we know that he is doubting somewhere inside of his mind, or that he will be doubting, and that is fun.
Cas says like, his whole “The Lord works-” and Dean says, “If you say mysterious ways, so help me, I will kick your ass," and then we get a fun second after he says that where like, his eyes flicker a bit and he looks a little nervous, where he goes like-
G: Yeah!
C: - "Oh shit, I just told an angel I was gonna kick his ass even though the last time we saw him, literally no human weapon could work on him, and he was exploding the entire sky." And Cas does like, this thing where he like, makes an annoyed- I don't know how to describe it, but he like, lifts both of his hands as like an, [annoyed] "Okay."
G: He's amused. He's amused.
C: He's amused.
G: He's like, "Look at this little guy. Look at this guy. Threatening me, making- like, telling me to fuck off and die." Like, it's fun. He's a hater for real. Dean's a hater, and Cas is enjoying the haterisms.
C: Yeah, truly, truly. And he asks about, you know, the Sign of the Apocalypse stuff. We get like, a fun shot where, like, after Cas does his hands thing, he's sort of looking off to the side, and he sort of turns his neck back around to talk to Dean, but like, something about the way he swings his neck in that scene, [laughing] I'm just obsessed with it.
He, you know, confirms that the Apocalypse is happening and that there are 66 seals that, once they're broken, will start the Apocalypse. And apparently, Lilith did the spell, and she killed 20 other hunters. Fuck yeah, baby! He also says that Lilith has a certain sense of humor, which is fun. Because we also know that Uriel’s the funniest angel in the garrison. Like, I want to know what like, the idea of humor is in angels’ brains. Cas finally reveals that what happens after you break all the seals is that Lucifer walks free. And Dean does not believe in Lucifer, and I choose to believe that it's because of that one time in Season 3 when he said “Speak of the devil” when Ruby showed up, and Ruby said, “I don't believe in the devil.” [G laughs]
G: I love when she lies.
C: I know. What he says is that he thought Lucifer "was just a story they told in demon Sunday school." And, like, you know, a demon if like, they're being genuine, saying like, “Oh, I don't believe in the devil,” like, does give that exact impression.
G: Yeah, like, it's like, atheist vibes. Yeah.
C: [laughs] Yeah. But Cas says, “You know, three days ago you thought there was no such thing as me.” And he reveals that this is the first time angels have walked among humans in 2000 years.
G: Untrue.
C: Which, I guess Lily Sunder doesn't count 'cause they don't actually interact with humans besides taking them as vessels.
G: Ah, that's true, that's true, that's true.
C: Well, I guess Lily Sunder is a human. Is she a human? Akobel’s the angel and she's a human, and they shack up? Is that right?
G: Lily Sunder is a human person.
C: Okay. Then yeah, I guess he is just lying.
G: Yeah, they retconned that.
C: They retconned that.
G: And I love that. Thank god they did.
C: Yeah. I'm glad.
G: That episode’s so fucking good.
C: Dean’s really mad about how, you know, the witness seal got broken, even though they were able to send them back, and how the angels have done a bad job at preventing Lucifer from rising again. Cas says that they tried, and he also mentions that 6 of his brothers died in the field this week, which is the first time we hear about other angels, right?
G: Yes that's true. But also, I want to point out that, this scene, like, starting from the "There are other battles. Other seals."
C: Oh, the zoom?
G: Dean- like, the choreography of this scene is such that Dean goes from looking at Cas from like, in front of Cas to going at Cas's side and leaning against like, a kitchen calendar, or wherever they are. And then Cas moves to move in front of him. So the camera angles in this scene are very close to their faces-
C: Yes. So close.
G: - and it's like, super tense. It's super tense. And it's so good! Like, it's so good! [laughs giddily] It's so good.
C: Yeah, they are like, breathing each other's air. They are- it is intense. And I really don't think Supernatural ever gets more close up on a face than it does in this scene.
G: Yeah.
C: We see  Cas's beautiful, beautiful eyes. He's the only person in the world who doesn't have to wear brown contacts. [both laugh] I will allow him to have blue eyes.
And he says, “You think the armies of heaven should just follow you around? There's a bigger picture here. [both] You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of Hell. I can throw you back in.” [both] And then he disappears! Oh, god, he's so hot.
G: And like, there's also a moment there where he like, leans in further, and Dean turns his face away before he says, “You should show me some respect.” And it's like, so threatening. Like, they do such a good job of making Cas actually like, this cosmic being that's like, he's not out to get Dean. He's not bad. But he’s still terrifying.
C: Yeah. If he happens to kill Dean, like, because he's being annoying or an inconvenience, then so be it.
G: Yeah, like, he's not like Lilith, where he's taunting Dean, and he's just like, “I'm just gonna stand here. And also, if you're annoying, guess you'll have to die. [C laughs] Guess you'll have to go to back to the 40 years of torture.” And it's like, it's true- it's like, I don't know, because, like, at this point in this story, it's not like- We know that's not true. Seeing it here now, it's like, "Ooh."
C: Ooh.
G: And like, we see that Dean is obviously shaken, because, like, Cas disappears, and he like, looks around like, in a way that's like, almost head-shaky. And then he jolts awake.
C: Yeah.
G: And he's like, it's the same face he's making at the counter that he's making as he jolts awake, and it's so good
C: It is. It's very good.
G: It's fascinating how they do like, an entire episode that was so boring- [C laughs] Like, not boring, but like, the case, wasn't like, good. As we mentioned, like, Henriksen comes back, Meg the vessel comes back, Ronald the best friend comes back, and it's a whole thing. But, like, as you said, all their features were so generic where like, they didn't feel like real people, or like, they didn't feel like the people that they were. And they didn't feel genuine in their anger. So like, it doesn't really impact you as strongly. And then, at the end of this episode, you just have this scene tagged at the end, and it's fucking amazing. And I'm not even saying this in like, I don't know, like, Destiel goggles or Castiel goggles. But like- Maybe I am. Maybe I am. I can never remove them. [laughs] But like, it's just- It's excellently shot. It's like, I don't why, but like, having Cas around in Season 4 at the very least really just elevates it so much.
C: Yeah.
G: I feel like it's a similar effect to when Ruby comes in and then goes like, "I'm the girl who just saved your ass." It's like the same feeling, but like, obviously, it's a different vibe, you know? But like, the feeling of like, "What is that?" That's the feeling that you have for Cas right now. Like, "What is going on with this guy?" 'Cause like, technically right now, he's not a character yet. He's just a vessel for plot, you know? But like, even then, he's brimming with personality, he's brimming with character. And like, not to give Misha Collins credit, [C laughing] but I think it's his fault. [laughs] Like, I think it's because of him. He did a good job of portraying Cas. Just like how I think if, like, we got to Ruby 2.0 to play Ruby 1, it wouldn't be the same. Like, I wouldn't be as attached to Ruby. 'Cause like, Ruby 1, Katie Cassidy- that's her name, right? Like, she does- she did such a good job of portraying like, Ruby, that even when she was like, being a vessel for the plot only, and she wasn't like, a fully fleshed-out character yet, we still thought she was like, amazing. And that's kind of what's happening to Cas right now.
C: Mm. I will not give Misha Collins anything. The spirit of Castiel, who's a real guy-
G: [laughs] Possessed him.
C: - who exists possessed him.
G: Yeah.
-
G: So Dean wakes up, right? And Sam like, walks over him. Well, first of all, fascinating that they don't have rooms in Bobby's house.
C: Yeah. [laughs]
G: Like, I think it's implied that they did at some point.
C: Right, they stayed there after John's death. Like, did they just sleep in the living room the whole time?
G: Yeah, it's fascinating. Like, to be clear, like, Sam is sleeping on the couch and Dean is sleeping [both] on the floor. In front of like, the divider of the kitchen and the living room. And I respect that.
But like, basically, Sam is walking over to him, and you see the cut of Sam's jeans, and it's like, a bootleg cut. I love that.
C: Yeah. Good for him.
G: He's so Y2K. [C laughs]
C: Also, like, more Sam things. After he sits down, you know, he's pulling his flannel on, and then he, like, smooths out his bangs in like, one quick gesture that I thought was soo cute.
G: And Dean says like, “So you got no problems believing in gods and angels?” to Sam. And Sam's like, "No." Dean says, "So I guess that means you believe in the devil, huh?" And Sam is like, "Why are you asking me this, Dean?" And it's just Dean, like, close up. Not close up, but like, it's on Dean's face.
C: Yeah, and it's zooming in.
G: And that's what ends-
C: Weak ending. You should have just ended it in on Cas.
G: No, but I liked him waking up.
C: That's true.
G: Like, it adds to the feeling of like, "Is it even real?" Like, "Is it even real? Is it like-" what's the term? You know, like, the confusion of the situation, it adds to that. So I love that.
C: Yeah. That's true. The ambiguity.
G: Yeah, that's the term. The ambiguity of the situation.
C: True.
-
G: So, what do we think about this episode?
C: I liked Meg- Meg Masters the human- coming back, I feel like, because I liked Meg, and I also care about demon-vessel relationships a lot.
G: Yeah.
C: I am glad to see Henriksen again, but I think he, Ron, and the twins just really did not have that much going on in their dialogues. Like, I feel like, if they talked more specifically about the things they lost, like, I'd care more. But it's just generic, like, "I died, and it sucked." Like, okay.
G: I think with Meg, I like- 'cause like, I don't know. Like, I think there's this assumption that if you're- or maybe it's my assumption- that like, if you're a vessel for a demon, and then, like, the demon unpossessed you, you're like, a good person. Like, you know what I mean?
C: Yeah.
G: Like, the demon is like, worse than you. So like, I think, a part of me, especially because of how we saw Meg the vessel die, she was still trying to be helpful, she was like, nice to Sam and Dean. And maybe that's what she is like, when she's not a "rabid dog," as Bobby you put it. But seeing her be like, angry, and be like, pissed off at Sam and Dean is like, fun because like, a part of you thinks like, "Oh, she's not Meg anymore. So she's gonna be nice," and then she isn't. Like, I like that.
C: Yeah, I do like that.  Cas section was good.
G: Cas section was fucking excellent.
C: Yeah, I mean, I feel like I generally did like this episode, but I feel like a lot of what they tried fell flat for me. It's just that they tried so many things that enough things worked for me that I was still interested.
G: Mm-hm. Okay, what's our Best Line/Worst Line? At the top of my head, I have a best line and a worst line.
C: Alright.
G: My best line is, "I am not here to... perch on your shoulder."
C: God, he's so hot.
G: Because it makes me think of Cas like a little bird. [laughing] And he's perching on his shoulder. It's cute.
C: Yeah. Yeah. Build a little birdhouse in your soul.
G: Also, like, the whole implication- like, you know, thinking about it moving forward, like, "I'm not here to perch on your shoulder," but like, Cas literally does become like, the angel on their shoulder.
C: Yeah, he'll just wait here, then.
G: Yeah. Yeah! God! [C laughs] You just reminded me of that fucking episode. I know people hate 10.05, but have we considered that, like, I'll just wait here, then / that's what I'll do?
C: Yeah.
G: Have we considered that John and Mary, husband and wife, as that one Tumblr post said?
C: Bringing home a brand new life. Yeah.
G: Yeah. His name is Sammy, and I'm [both] big brother Dean.
C: A perfect family, or so it seemed.
G: So it seems. Ah! So good.
C: Ah, god. Best line? I feel like for equality, I feel like I should pick a Meg line, but I can't- I can't find one. I just liked the general vibe of what she was saying.
I think, okay, I'm gonna go with- Dean goes like, "Well, we thought," and she goes, "No, you didn't think." And she says, like, “I was trapped in there, screaming at you, 'Just help me, please.' You're supposed to help people, Dean. Why didn't you help me?” Because, okay, that stuff gets old once more characters reiterate it throughout the episode, but I feel like at that moment, it was quite impactful. And hopefully, it shapes the way Supernatural talks about vessels in the future, and it shapes like, what Sam does with vessels throughout Season 4, but I have no hopes
G: For me, my worst line is [dramatically] "Iron." [both laugh] It's so stupid!
C: Yeah, it's pretty dumb. I guess mine is "This is what I looks like before that demon cut off my hair and dressed me like a slut." But just the "dressed me like a slut" part. The "cut off my hair" part, I'm quite interested in. But like, just, "dressed me like a slut," being juxtaposed with like, the flashbacks of Meg like, having no inch of skin showing [laughs] is just incredibly stupid.
-
G: Okay, we have our spreadsheet.
C: Yes.
C: I mean, there were tastes of misogyny, but like, very small ones, I'd say, compared to usual Supernatural.
G: Yeah, I don't think it warrants a point.
C: Yeah, and I don't- Well, we said that for the last appearance of every character, we would evaluate their storyline, so this is the last appearance of Henriksen, kind of.
G: But it's not even Henriksen. That's not even him.
C: Okay, so let's just skip that also.
G: Yeah.
C: Okay. And I don't remember any homophobia. So I guess we've got zeros across the board.
G: Oh my god, Sera Gamble! She won today.
C: She did win today.
G: I mean, the episode was boring, so like, not that much, but-
C: It wasn't that bad.
G: It's not bad! I mean, last episode was masterful, so, I mean.
C: That's true.
G: Okay, IMDb. What's your guess? I would say an 8.4.
C: Okay. I feel like it's gonna be a bit higher than that. I'm gonna guess a- because people are still riding the high of 4.01, and they still think that Cas is interesting, and they might enjoy seeing these characters come back. So I'm gonna go an 8.7, actually.
G: Okay. Let's see. It's an 8.5.
C: Oh, nice, you win.
G: "Editing weakens an otherwise great episode."
C: Yeah, the editing sucks.
G: "There is something that bugs me so much. This is an otherwise fine episode of an entertaining program." Is it? "I simply cannot forgive media representations of events whose primary basis is Biblical mythos,  [C laughs] misnaming a book in their primary source material."
C: Oh, was it not-
G: "The name of the book is The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John the Apostle."
C: People fucking call it Revelations!
G: [laughing] "The only acceptable truncation is The Revelation. I immediately lose respect for writers of Bible-themed fiction who don't get this simple fact straight."
C: God, that's so funny. Someone ended their review with, "And Sam, you always forget the pie. And why do you get to sleep on the couch and Dean on the floor? The man just got out of Hell. [G laughs] He needs some rest. :("
G: So real. [C laughs]
G: "Misha Collins is so great as Castiel [C sighs], that even on the third viewing, this episode's greatest scene remains the single one he appears in. That should be telling enough."
C: That's literally just Cas. I don't know who this other guy you're naming is. [both laugh]
G: "It's so heartbreaking that Dean thinks he doesn't deserve saving! The backstory is far more interesting than the main ghost story, although it's a neat little horror piece." That's true.
C: Yeah.
G: Yeah.
C: Yeah.
G: Okay, I think that’s it for this episode of buh-buh-buh-buh-Busty Asian-
C: [laughing] Why? Why did you do that? [both laughing] Go ahead.
G: [laughing] Next week, we will be discussing-
C: Is this your thing about how you want to be a DJ? [G laughing]
G: [laughing] Next week we will be discussing- what is it? Season 4, Episode 3- oh my god!
C: Oh! Fuck yeah.
G: "In the Beginning." Leave us a rating or a review wherever you get your podcasts. C: Follow us on social media! We are on twitter at twitter.com/BeautiesPodcast and on Tumblr at bustyasianbeautiespod.tumblr.com. Our official tag is #BABPod, B-A-B-POD.

Searching for the Right Fit: Plus Size Strapless Bras and Underwire Sports Bras for Maximum Comfort and Support
Fit and comfort are of utmost importance when selecting the appropriate lingerie and activewear, especially for fuller figures. Finding a plus size strapless bra or underwire sports bra that meets those criteria can make a real difference to how confident, supported, and relaxed one feels throughout their day or workout session. Femmeline understands these unique needs of plus size women by providing an array of stylish yet functional bras to meet them - this blog will explore key features of these essential pieces of lingerie so that you can select those best suited to you and your figure!
An Essential Plus Size Strapless Bra
A plus size strapless bra should be an essential wardrobe staple, especially when attending special events or wearing clothes that require strap-free support such as strapless dresses, off-the-shoulder tops, or sleeveless blouses. When choosing one for yourself, it should provide reliable support without slipping into or digging into your skin and should offer comfortable support without slipperiness.
Why Select a Plus Size Strapless Bra?
Support for Fuller Figures
Many strapless bras fail to provide sufficient support for women with larger busts; however, Femmeline offers quality plus size strapless bras designed specifically to meet this challenge with wide bands, additional support panels, and reinforced cups that ensure all-day comfort and support for larger busts.
Comfort and Fit
With advanced designs and adjustable features, plus size strapless bras offer unparalleled comfort without compromising style. Breathable fabrics and seamless construction minimize chafing for an optimal, flattering silhouette under clothing.
Versatility
One of the great advantages of wearing a plus size strapless bra is its versatility. No matter if it is for attending a wedding, partying at a venue, or enjoying a casual night out - this bra provides support while still allowing you to wear strapless clothes!
Plus Size Underwire Sports Bras Are Essential for Active Women
When it comes to high-impact activities like running, cycling, or any form of intense exercise, having the proper sports bra can make or break your workout. A plus size underwire sports bra offers firm support and structure required by larger busts during high-impact movements; Femmeline provides a selection of plus size underwire sports bras which combine performance with comfort.
Benefits of Plus Size Underwire Sports Bras:
Enhance Support
Underwire can often be misunderstood; in fact, plus size underwire sports bras are designed to lift and support your bust without digging into your skin - offering better fit, reduced bounce, and increased stability during physical activity.
Breathability and Moisture-Wicking
Our plus size underwire sports bras are constructed using moisture-wicking fabrics designed to keep you dry and comfortable during even the most intense workouts, enabling you to focus solely on improving performance without distraction.
Sleek, Shaping Designs
These bras offer sleek yet shaping underwires to not only support but also shape your bust for an aesthetically pleasing silhouette in and outside of the gym. A plus size underwire sports bra provides you with confidence to move freely while being stylish at once!
Choose the Perfect Plus Size Bra for You
Both plus size strapless bras and underwire sports bras offer specific advantages; choosing one to meet your specific needs depends on personal factors like lifestyle and desired benefits.
Special Occasions
When wearing a strapless dress or top, a plus size strapless bra is an essential element to the ensemble. Look for features like silicone lining, wider bands, and additional cups to ensure an ideal fit and secure comfort.
Active Days
If you want something supportive during exercise, a plus size underwire sports bra may be exactly what's needed to keep your bust secure while also offering shaping and comfort.
Femmeline provides an expansive selection of plus size strapless bras and underwire sports bras in various styles, sizes, and colors - ideal for support under evening attire or providing comfort during workout sessions. No matter what you need for daily fitness activities - Femmeline has you covered.
Conclusion
Investing in high-quality plus size strapless and underwire sports bras will give you the support and confidence that's needed throughout the day, from dressing up for an evening out or staying active with exercise.

[ad_1] Title: The Truth About Breast Enhancement Creams: What You Need to Know Introduction: Breast enhancement creams have become a popular option for women looking to enhance their bust size without undergoing surgery. But with so many products on the market, it can be overwhelming to know which ones actually work and which ones are just a waste of money. In this listicle, we will uncover the truth about breast enhancement creams and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. 1. Understand How Breast Enhancement Creams Work Breast enhancement creams work by stimulating the growth of breast tissue through the use of ingredients such as herbs, botanicals, and vitamins. These ingredients are absorbed into the skin and work to increase blood flow to the breasts, resulting in firmer and fuller breasts over time. 2. Look for Clinical Studies and Research When choosing a breast enhancement cream, it's important to look for products that have been backed by clinical studies and research. This will help ensure that the product is safe and effective for use. Be wary of products that make bold claims without any scientific evidence to support them. 3. Check the Ingredients Before purchasing a breast enhancement cream, make sure to check the list of ingredients. Look for natural ingredients such as fenugreek, fennel, and saw palmetto, which have been shown to promote breast growth. Avoid products that contain harmful chemicals or artificial fillers. 4. Be Patient and Consistent Breast enhancement creams are not a quick fix and results may take time to see. It's important to be patient and consistent with the use of the product in order to see the best results. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and apply the cream regularly as directed. 5. Consider Potential Side Effects While breast enhancement creams are generally safe to use, it's important to be aware of potential side effects. Some users may experience mild skin irritation or allergic reactions to certain ingredients. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional. 6. Combine with Exercise and Healthy Lifestyle In addition to using breast enhancement creams, incorporating exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help promote breast growth. Exercises such as chest presses and push-ups can help strengthen the chest muscles and improve the appearance of the breasts. 7. Consult with a Healthcare Professional If you have any concerns or questions about using breast enhancement creams, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your individual needs and concerns. 8. Set Realistic Expectations It's important to have realistic expectations when using breast enhancement creams. While these products can help improve the appearance of the breasts, they may not provide the same dramatic results as surgery. Remember that every body is different and results may vary. Best Trending Tips for You: If you're considering using breast enhancement creams, do your research and choose a product that is safe, effective, and backed by scientific evidence. Be patient and consistent with your use of the product, and remember to combine it with exercise and a healthy lifestyle for the best results. And most importantly, always consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions about using breast enhancement creams. Conclusion: Breast enhancement creams can be a safe and effective alternative to surgery for women looking to enhance their bust size. By following these tips and guidelines, you can make an informed decision about which product is right for you. Remember to be patient, consistent, and realistic in your expectations, and always prioritize your health and safety when using any new product. [ad_2]

Bust Max: Natural Ways to Enhance Your Bust Size
Enhancing bust size is a common desire among women seeking to improve their body image and confidence. While genetics play a significant role in determining breast size, there are natural ways to maximize bust size without resorting to surgery. This comprehensive guide covers effective methods, including exercises, diet, and lifestyle changes, to help you naturally achieve your desired Bust max.
Understanding Bust Size
What Determines Bust Size?
Several factors influence bust size, including genetics, hormonal levels, body weight, and overall health. While it's challenging to alter genetics, other factors can be managed to enhance bust size.
Tumblr media
The Role of Hormones
Hormones such as estrogen and progesterone play a crucial role in breast development. During puberty, pregnancy, and menstrual cycles, these hormones can cause changes in breast size and shape.
Natural Ways to Enhance Bust Size
Targeted Exercises
Specific exercises can strengthen the pectoral muscles beneath the breasts, making them appear larger and firmer.
Practical Exercises for Bust Enhancement:
Push-Ups: Strengthen the chest muscles and improve overall bust appearance.
Chest Presses: Use dumbbells or a resistance band to target the pectoral muscles.
Chest Flies: Open and close your arms while holding weights to work the chest muscles.
Balanced Diet
Nutrition plays a vital role in overall health and can influence bust size. Consuming foods supporting hormonal balance and essential nutrients can promote breast growth.
Critical Nutrients for Bust Enhancement:
Proteins: Essential for tissue growth and repair.
Healthy Fats: Support hormonal health and breast tissue development.
Phytoestrogens: Found in foods like soy, flax seeds, and chickpeas, they mimic estrogen in the body.
Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamins A, C, and E, along with minerals like zinc and selenium, support overall breast health.
Herbal Supplements
Several herbal supplements are believed to enhance bust size by mimicking the effects of estrogen.
Popular Herbal Supplements:
Fenugreek: Contains phytoestrogens that may promote breast tissue growth.
Fennel Seed: Known for its estrogen-like properties.
Saw Palmetto: Balances hormones and supports breast growth.
Wild Yam: Contains diosgenin, which can be converted into estrogen in the body.
Massage Techniques
Regular breast massage can improve blood circulation and stimulate breast tissue growth. Natural oils, such as almond or olive oil, can enhance the massage's benefits.
How to Perform Breast Massage:
Use gentle, circular motions.
Apply consistent, moderate pressure.
Massage for at least 10 minutes daily.
Proper Posture
Maintaining good posture can make your bust appear larger and more lifted. Practice standing straight with your shoulders back and chest out.
Myths and Misconceptions About Bust Enhancement
Only Surgery Can Increase Bust Size
While surgery can provide immediate results, natural methods can also enhance bust size, though they may take longer to show results.
Supplements Alone Can Increase Bust Size
Supplements can aid in bust enhancement combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, but they are not a standalone solution.
Exercises Make Breasts Smaller
Targeted exercises strengthen the chest muscles, making the breasts appear more prominent and firmer, not smaller.
Scientific Insights into Bust Enhancement
The Role of Estrogen
Estrogen is crucial for breast development. Foods and supplements that increase estrogen levels can promote breast growth.
Impact of Nutrition
Adequate nutrition supports overall health and can influence hormone levels, indirectly affecting bust size.
Tumblr media
Tips for Enhancing Bust Size Naturally
Incorporate Strength Training
Include chest-focused strength training exercises in your fitness routine to enhance your bust appearance.
Eat a Balanced Diet
Ensure your diet includes sufficient proteins, healthy fats, and phytoestrogens to support breast tissue growth.
Consider Herbal Supplements
Before starting any herbal supplements, please consult with a healthcare provider to ensure they are safe and suitable for you.
Practice Regular Massage
Incorporate breast massage into your daily routine to stimulate growth and improve circulation.

Ready to Ditch the Diets? Myth-Busting Your Way to Sustainable Weight Loss
Ugh, diets. We've all been there, counting calories, swearing off entire food groups, and feeling like hangry zombies. But what if there was a better way? A way to lose weight and keep it off without feeling deprived or miserable? Enter myth-busting! This guide will help you debunk common dieting misconceptions and pave the way for sustainable weight loss.
Tumblr media
Diet Myths Debunked: Freeing Yourself from Restrictive Regimes
Myth: Carbs are the enemy! Busted! Complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and veggies provide essential energy and fiber for a healthy diet. Method: Focus on limiting refined carbs like sugary drinks, white bread, and pastries.
Myth: Skipping meals speeds up weight loss. Busted! Skipping meals can actually slow your metabolism and lead to overeating later. Method: Aim for regular, balanced meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism humming and prevent hunger pangs.
Myth: One-size-fits-all diets work for everyone. Busted! What works for your best friend might not work for you. Find an approach that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Method: Instead of a restrictive diet, focus on developing healthy habits you can maintain long-term.
Myth: Detox diets are magical cleanses. Busted! While a temporary cleanse might make you feel lighter (due to water weight loss), it's not sustainable. Method: Develop long-term healthy habits like eating whole foods, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise for lasting results.

Sustainable Weight Loss: Building Healthy Habits for Life!
Find Your Why: What motivates you to lose weight? Having a clear goal, whether it's improving your health, boosting your energy levels, or feeling more confident, will help you stay committed.
Small, Sustainable Changes: Instead of a drastic overhaul, focus on making small, gradual adjustments to your diet and exercise routine. These are easier to stick with and lead to long-term success.
Fuel Your Body Right: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. These foods nourish your body, keep you feeling full, and provide essential nutrients.
Move Your Body: Find activities you enjoy like dancing, swimming, or brisk walking, and aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Every bit of movement counts!
Strength Training Matters: Building muscle mass boosts your metabolism for increased calorie burning. Start with bodyweight exercises or light weights and gradually increase intensity as you get stronger.
Hydration is Key: Water is essential for health, including weight management. It can also help you feel full. Aim for eight glasses of water per day.
Indulge Mindfully: Enjoy treats in moderation and focus on making healthy choices most of the time. Deprivation can lead to cravings and overeating.
Prioritize Sleep: When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces more ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and less leptin (the satiety hormone), making you crave unhealthy foods. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.
Track Your Progress: Keeping a food journal or using a fitness app can help you stay accountable and motivated.
Find Your Support System: Having a friend, family member, or online community to cheer you on can make a big difference. Share your goals and struggles with people who understand and support your journey.
Remember: Weight loss is a journey, not a destination. Celebrate non-scale victories like increased energy levels, improved mood, and stronger muscles.

Pushups with Weight: Get Stronger, Build Muscle
Tumblr media
Push-ups are a classic exercise for a reason, but have you ever tried pushups with weight? Turns out, a little extra resistance can seriously boost your strength and muscle gains. If you want to level up your workouts, weighted push-ups might be what you need. Let's explore how to do them safely and get the most out of them! Why Try Weighted Push-ups? Here are some big reasons to add weighted push-ups to your routine: - Build Strength: Your muscles have to work way harder against that extra weight, leading to better strength. - Gain Muscle: All that effort is rewarded with a boost in the size of your chest, shoulders, and triceps. - Bust Through Plateaus: Stuck on regular push-ups? Weight can push you to the next level. My story: I've been into fitness for years. I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself, and weighted push-ups have become a staple in my workouts. How to Do Weighted Push-ups Let's break down the basics of weighted push-ups: - Start Simple: If you're new to this, add just a little weight (like 5-10 pounds). Your form is way more important than lots of weight. - Perfect Form First: Even with the weight, your chest should nearly touch the ground, and your lower back should maintain a slight arch. - Ways to Add Weight: - Weight vest: Easy to wear, even distribution of weight. - Backpack with plates: Budget-friendly option, make sure it's secure. - Resistance bands: Provide varying resistance throughout the movement. Progression is Key As you get stronger, gradually add more weight or increase the number of reps you do. It's better to take things slowly and avoid injury! Adding Weight Safely Experience LevelRecommended Starting WeightBeginner5-10 lbsIntermediate10-20 lbsAdvanced20+ lbs Important: Listen to your body! If you feel pain, stop and rest. Variations to Try Once you get the hang of basic weighted push-ups, try these variations: - Weighted Incline Push-ups: Put your feet on a bench for an easier version that builds upper-chest strength. - Weighted Decline Push-ups: For a challenge, put your hands on a bench and your feet on the floor.
