#antipossession symbol

[shellhawk]

For the folks who can't get enough of Sam and Dean, a pair of stoneware handmade coffee or tea cups suitable for your Bunker! Both mugs hold 18 ounces of your favorite hot or cold beverage, and with the antipossession symbol carved into them, you can be assured of a demon-free drinking experience! The copper-colored glaze contrasts beautifully with the glossy black, and the red antipossession symbol and nicknames are hand-carved into the mugs, making for a gorgeous and unique set. To my knowledge, I'm the only person who handmakes and handcarves functional SPN pottery!

Episode 141 - 7.15 Repo Man

Does this make Dean the dog again? Also, a very good reminder that antipossession symbol tattoos are a thing in this universe, and maybe it would've been a good thing for them to have shared with a heck of a lot more people than they did, you know?

Also, some very interesting parallels through the MotW, a guy who went to extraordinary measures to bring back the demon (angel?) because he was in love with him. Two episodes before Cas comes back...

LINKS!

The Superwiki page (including links to minutiae and trivia about the episode, transcripts, promo clips, etc. as usual… I stopped adding all those things separately a while back, so every once in a while I like to remind folks how much interesting info is on the Superwiki page for every episode!)

@star-trekkin-across-theuniverse I hadn't thought of those!! But I did get one of those knives that has the antipossession symbol on it. Waiting on shotgun shells gull of rocksalt rn

@feelmyroarrrr I ordered a samulet necklace!! I should get the John Winchester journal I feel 🤔

Ok, I need help for a Christmas present.

Idk who is in the Supernatural Fandom here, but I want to put together a small "Hunters Survival Kit" for the godson. As much as I love Supernatural I haven't been really involved in so long that the only thing I can really think of to put into it is Salt. Haha, maybe a lighter and flint? 🤔 if there is anything that anybody can think of and will throw an idea at me I'd be so grateful.

uhhhh my cat likes to hang out on my bed before I go to sleep at night and he's pretty much always purring when I'm around (the poor vet a couple weeks ago had to squirt alcohol fumes in his nose, like, four times to get him to stop so she could listen to his heart lol) and I'm about ready to go to sleep and my cat's purring as always except ? it sounds weird? idk what exactly is weird about it but for some reason it doesn't sound like his normal purr? it might just be because he's purring louder than usual but idk it just sounds weird :/ also cat tax here's the old man

I was curious if you have any theories on why Bobby and the other hunters don’t seem to have anti-possession tattoos? Bobby didn’t have one as of his possession in s5, and in 12.05, a bunch of hunters were possessed during Asa’s wake.

I mean it seems downright dumb, doesn’t it? I’d been flipping my shit for YEARS over the fact that Jared would tweet out once a year since 9.10 when Cas burned off his tattoo, something along the lines of “So do you think Sam got his tattoo back?” AND NO. JUST NO. With everything Sam’s been through since 9.10, if he hadn’t had the tattoo redone through EVERYTHING (and ESPECIALLY through his rampage in early s10, torturing demons for info on Crowley, and then Demon Dean, I mean... Sam is just not that stupid, you know? So it was EXCELLENT to finally get confirmation in 13.02 that yes he does have the tattoo again already.

He’s got ALL the personal reasons in the world for wanting that extra level of protection against possession.

Then again, we’ve also seen how easy it is for a very determined demon to bypass that particular security measure... just burn it off. Linda Tran demonstrated that to us in 8.02. So while it’s GOOD to have, it’s not foolproof (and may result in even WORSE things happening to one’s body as a result. I mean, that’s why getting it done in a visible spot such as a forearm seems to make less sense than having it in a place that’s usually covered up (like on your chest, like Sam and Dean have it). Make it that much harder for a demon to get at it, or to just lop it off >.>

Bobby was the one who gave them the charms in the first place, and taught them most of what they know about demons. And as the resident “Paranoid Bastard” and demon expert, you’d think He would’ve jumped at the chance to protect himself even more than Sam and Dean did. Yet he never did... (he was possessed in 5.01, but we don’t know if the demon had to first relieve him of his antipossession charm, you know? I’m assuming Bobby was jumped by the demons at some point, and they were pretty damn determined to possess him. Worse came to worst, I suspect they would’ve happily carved Bobby up to remove that tattoo if he’d had one, because they had reason to possess him SPECIFICALLY in that situation. Maybe it was for the best in that case that he didn’t have the tatoo...)

As for other hunters, it’s quite possible that most of them don’t have REASON to get the tattoo. In addition to all the hunters we met in 12.06, we also met folks like Wally who were specialists in their fields. A hunter who primarily goes after rougarou or vampires and never has any dealings with demons wouldn’t even think to get one. I don’t think the Witch Twins necessarily had a specialty, but as Bobby said way back in s1, demons weren’t even really a thing most hunters ever dealt with in their entire careers until the apocalypse prep started shaking things up...

But even by 12.06, we learn that even POST-apocalypse, most hunters still consider demons Big Game above their pay grade. Sort of like Sam and Dean vs Specky the Wonderdemon in 1.04.

The ones that really bug me are the people Sam and Dean KNOW have had dealings with demons, specifically Jody and to a lesser extent Max and Alicia, and haven’t encouraged them to get tattooed. And heck, even MARY.

I’d love to see it confirmed that Jody’s had the tattoo since 12.06, and that Mary also went out and got one done since then. It’s just too easy to pull off a charm during a fight with a demon, and the tattoo is just an extra measure of safety (though still not infallible).

i see you

on march 14, 2013 my daughter died. she was 2 1/2 years old. i was in shock for days. after they took her body away, i removed her bed from my room and set it outside in the backyard. i packed up her medical equipment, threw out her food that went into her feeding tube, and stored all her clothes away in my closet. that was just day 1. she was born with many disabilities and it was a miracle that she was born breathing at all. i was lucky to have her for 2 and a half years, knowing she was going to die before me. i remember feeling broken. i was making plans to move out of my parents house because i knew that being in that home where she lived and died was going to be too hard on me. and i didn’t know how to be myself. i lost the one person i loved with my entire body and soul. and then the bloody mary episode was rerunning on tv. my uncle was watching the episode and i hadn’t really sat down and watched it before. i was an avid anime fan for literal years prior to this. so i knew the fandom existed, i just didn’t know anything about it until then. after looking it all up on tumblr (like one does of course) i realized there was more to see. and it began my journey in overcoming my loss.

i found out what i wanted to do thanks to the show and the fandom. i wanted to create. i discovered my identity. i learned how to communicate and i actually made friends. i was more open and honest about myself and my relationships. i remember being scared of GISHWHES and when i first participated in it in 2014, i was happy.

my first tattoo after a shift at my first job, i got the antipossession symbol. october 1, 2014. 

after joining the fandom, i was able to be me. i was able to grieve the loss of my daughter and learned that just because they are gone, does not mean they are forgotten. 

i may not have any financial support, but i have emotional support for you. we are all a family here. and we are here for each other. i may not understand the abrupt loss with no warning, or the fact that it happened on what was supposed to be a happy day, but i understand your pain, losing someone you love.

i don’t know you personally, and you may never see this, but i just wanted to voice my thoughts somewhere. i won’t post this on twitter because its too open. and i would never share something like this on tiktok because thats all too open. here, its safe for me. i’m able to say whatever i’m thinking without someone telling me i’m a piece of shit for “making it about me”. 

ok, i’m done talking for now. i’ll share my thoughts again someday.

thinking about on september 13, 2005, my mom asked 9 year old me if i wanted to watch the premiere of this new mystery solving show called supernatural with her because it was created by a guy from our city. little did i know that very show would be my place of comfort for just shy of 15 years. here i am at 24 with an antipossession symbol tattooed on my chest, pondering about how the thing that’s been a constant in my life for so long wrapped three days before the anniversary. the finality of it isn’t going to hit me until the premiere of the final episode on november 19, but it’s already feeling very bittersweet. thank you fellow toledoan eric kripke for creating one hell of a ride.
