#The Tapes

[sweetm0uringlamb]

hey jackles…i have this wild idea for nov 5th…this really funny idea…maybe…you could release the tapes? please?

[deangloriam]

two possible outcomes when jackles releases the tapes. 1) misha tweets et tu brute bc he was hurt tht he wasnt informed beforehand or 2) the tapes are released and then 3 days later they get pulled back saying it was a misunderstanding and Not Real

I bet there was SO MUCH of dean's reaction that we didn't get to see. because they didn't want us to read it the way it had to be read.

and jensen probably has it in his phone and he's never even said anything because he couldn't didn't want to draw attention from misha's incredible performance and the meaning that the scene had on its own, even without dean reciprocating (because it's still SO IMPORTANT)

Ok so listening back over the ending of episode 25, Colin says at one point that he isn’t even sure if the thing listening is just inside the computer servers and it brings back a point my husband had thought of right at the beginning of Protocol. 

He had mentioned that he wondered if they were really on the computers right at the beginning and talked about Jon and Martin being instead on a tape backup. I’m researching and listen to this… 

What Is Tape Backup?

Tape backup is a data protection approach that involves storing digital data copies of primary data on tape cartridges or cassettes. Tape backups are currently used as secondary backups for long-term offsite storage of critical data that doesn’t need to be accessed on a regular basis. They are especially useful for archival and data compliance purposes.

They store on tapes … the tapes make an archive! The one type of Tape Storage is called DAT (Digital Audio Tape) is a storage medium that was initially designed for audio use but has since become a popular backup medium. This tape format has a storage capacity of 1 to 80 GB on a 60- to 180-meter tape.

Colin is right - they’re not on the server… they’re in an archive on tapes! 

Here’s the website I found  https://www.nakivo.com/blog/tape-backup-overview/

The Tapes pt. 2

A slow burn transformation story

“The tapes are working then! This is great news!” Brian gushed as he hugged Linda. Linda’s heart beat quickly as her face became bright red. Linda felt better than she ever had before. She felt less anxious in public places and around crowds. However, Linda kept the other effects from her good friend. “So you actually went to a bar? Did… did you talk to anyone?” Brian asked, adjusting his glasses.

“No, I ordered a beer and drank it and left.” Linda didn’t want to mention Dave and the motorcycle ride. Linda looked Brian in the eye with confidence. Brian smiled believing her friend’s lie. “So do you want to test the new me out tonight?” she asked him. Brian thought for a moment. He was still curious about how the tapes affected her. He looked at her and nodded.

“Good pick me up at seven and make sure it’s a busy place.” Linda smiled, her voice filled with excitement. She kissed Brian on the cheek and left to get ready. Brian watched his friend walk away as he still felt the warmth of her lips in his cheek. He was sure tonight was going to be interesting.

As Linda got home, she put the shopping bags on the floor. She stripped off her clothes and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water wash away the day's stresses. She closed her eyes, reveling in the sensation of the water on her skin, and began to think about the evening ahead. Her heart raced with anticipation as she imagined herself walking into a bustling bar with Brian, feeling confident and beautiful in the new dress she had bought that afternoon.

She felt her hands caress her sensitive skin. She imagined Brian playing pool with her. She smiled as her hands soaped her body. Brian in his leather jacket brought her to his motorcycle. Linda frowned at her fantasy as she knew Brian didn’t have a motorcycle. Linda in her mind took a ride with him as she felt the vibrating machine against her thighs. Linda opened her eyes realizing she was rubbing herself. Linda swallowed as she stopped daydreaming and finished showering.

As Linda dried off, she put on the new dress. The soft material hugged her body. She sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror, feeling fancy but still unremarkable. Her heart raced with anticipation as she brushed her long hair and applied makeup. She slipped on a new pair of heels, taking care not to trip on them.

Finally, she was ready. Brian was punctual as he rang the doorbell. Linda took a deep breath and opened the door, revealing her date standing outside. He looked handsome in a collared shirt and slacks. Brian looked up and down and gulped. Linda smiled realizing her new look had an effect on him.

The bar they chose was bustling with activity. People laughed and chatted as they enjoyed their drinks. The music played softly in the background. Linda felt a thrill of excitement as she scanned the room, taking in the atmosphere. Brian guided her to an empty booth and they sat down, their knees touching beneath the table.

The conversation was easy as usual. Brian was elated to see his friend have such vitality. Linda talked with the waiter with ease. “Do you want to play pool with me?” Linda asked. Brian nodded, pushing his glasses up his nose. She had never played pool before, but she didn't want to let Brian know that. She followed him to the pool table, feeling his eyes on her as she walked. They laughed as they kept missing the cue ball with their pool sticks.

Linda found herself feeling more confident in her new clothes. She leaned against the pool table, stretching her arms above her head. She could feel the material of her dress cling to her skin. Brian smiled as he watched her, enjoying the view. She felt a new sense of power when she sank a ball into the pocket, earning a point. Her heart raced with excitement.

Brian brought her back home at a reasonable hour. Linda tried her hardest to hide her disappointment. “Linda this was so much fun!” Brian gushed as he helped her out of his car. He walked her to the door and they stood there, the silence between them deafening. He finally mustered the courage to speak.

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked up at him. There was a newfound light in his eyes, and a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He reached out and brushed a stray hair from her face. "Linda... you're amazing. You really are." Linda couldn’t help herself as she grabbed Brian’s collar and pulled him into a kiss. His lips were soft and warm against hers, sending shivers down her spine. She could feel his heart racing beneath her palm.

Linda’s hand traveled down Brian’s body as she felt his manhood. Brian instinctively moaned as he kissed Linda. Linda rubbed Brian’s crotch faster. Brian pushed away from Linda. “Umm Linda… we shouldn’t move too fast.” Linda didn't let this deter her. She grabbed on Brian’s belt buckle and looked deep into his eyes. “Come upstairs with me.” Her voice was a command, but it was laced with desire.

Brian looked like he would obey as he closed his eyes briefly. He moved backwards slowly. “I… can’t I’m sorry. I’ll call you later.” Brian walked to his car as he heard Linda slam the door of her house. She raced upstairs to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. “So stupid.” She grumbled to herself. She flopped down on her bed, taking her heels off to get ready for bed. As she lay there, she got her headphones and Walkman ready. She looked at the tape book and pulled a tape from “Standing Out”.

She closed her eyes, letting the affirmations wash over her. The words were so powerful, so true. She felt a renewed sense of strength and determination. She listened as she thought of how Brian backed away. “He was afraid Linda. You are becoming more than he can handle. You need a real man. A man who isn’t afraid to take what he wants.”

The tape continued to play, and Linda felt herself growing more and more aroused. She felt her heart beat faster. A new thought entered her mind. She smiled as she got up from bed. She put on a pair of jeans a tshirt and the same heels she wore to her date. She walked quickly to the dive bar near her home.

She smiled as she saw Dave’s motorcycle parked outside. She quickly walked in and found Dave playing pool. He glanced at her, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "Well, look who decided to grace us with her presence," he drawled. She walked up to Dave with a determined look in her eyes. “Teach me how to play.”

Dave chuckled. "Well, aren't you feisty tonight?" He gestured to an empty pool table. "Alright then, let's show you the ropes." He patiently showed her how to hold the cue stick, she smiled as she felt him behind her. She could feel his strong hands guiding hers. As she leaned back against him, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. His aroma filled her senses, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of desire wash over her.

Dave was surprised by her reactions. He had always thought Linda was a bit of a prude. But now, as she leaned into him, he couldn't help but feel a surge of power and confidence. He watched as she took her first shot, and she sank the ball. There was a newfound light in her eyes, and a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

They played several more games, and each time, Linda seemed to improve. Her confidence grew with each shot she made. She laughed and joked with Dave, her voice bubbling over with happiness. The more they played, the more comfortable she felt in his presence.

Dave offered her a ride home as she nodded yes enthusiastically. They climbed onto his motorcycle, the wind whipping through her hair. She felt a thrill of excitement as they sped down the street, the wind pressing against her back. When they arrived at her house, she hesitated for a moment before getting off the bike.

She began to walk to her house but looked back at Dave. She turned back and kissed him. He responded, kissing her deeply. His strong hands gripped her hips, pulling her closer to him. She felt a surge of desire as their bodies pressed against each other.

Linda put her hand down at Dave’s crotch and began to rub at it. She could hear Dave groan in approval. His hips bucked into her hand, and she smiled as she felt his arousal. She leaned in closer, kissing him deeply as her other hand undid the button on his jeans. She jumped as she felt his rough hands grab her backside.

He pulled her closer and ground his hips against hers. She could feel his erection pressing against her stomach. She arched her back, pressing her breasts against his chest. Dave sat back on his motorcycle as Linda swung her leg around him. They looked at each other as she sat on his lap. Her legs were on either side of his hips and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Linda instinctively began grinding on Dave. Her lips curled as she saw Dave’s eyes roll back with arousal. She gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin. He moaned, and she could feel his hips bucking against her. His erection pressed against her core, and she arched her back, seeking more contact.

Their kiss deepened as their bodies moved together in a rhythm that felt both familiar and exhilarating. The sounds of their passion filled the night air, mingling with the distant sounds of traffic and laughter from the bar. As they continued to ride, she felt the familiar tightening in her stomach, and knew she was close.

Dave pulled back from the kiss, his eyes searching hers. He leaned forward, his breath hot against her ear. "You like to ride don’t ya?” He growled, his hips bucking against her in a demanding rhythm. Linda moaned, arching her back as she felt his erection pressing against her. Linda felt her body start to shake, her orgasm building within her. She felt her panties and jeans soak with her juices as some of it leaked onto Dave’s jeans.

“Oh, fuck!” Linda’s body trembled as she orgasmed dry humping Dave. Linda hopped off the motorcycle as she walked into her house. She heard the roar of Dave’s motorcycle as he rode off. Linda locked the door and collapsed onto her bed, still trembling from the intensity of her orgasm. She had never felt so alive.

She knew she had to have another adventure like that soon. A quiet night at home sounded so boring to the former homebody. She looked at the tape book on her nightstand. She took a tape from the “Grabbing Attention” section. She kicked her heels off and let her jeans fall to the floor. She put the tape into the Walkman she put her headphones on as she drifted to sleep.

[smashstiel]

Say all you want about Jensen Ackles, but he's not insane twitter user, so at least we won't see him tweet something like "i do not have tapes. i happen to be tapeless. but i am an ally to all of your heller mentally ill people and the last thing i want is to falsely co-opt the struggles of you guys. Sorry".
