So I have this fic idea of Cas being magically kicked from his vessel somehow and desperately seeking Dean's help, even though he's weak and tired and stuck in his true form and its not like Dean can see or hear him anyway, but he needs him. so he tries to talk.
While Dean's driving.
Of course Dean nearly crashes the car because the windows explode and Sam is clutching at his ears, but Dean can hear something....
He pulls over and Sam's still in pain but Dean can hear....
And Dean is absolutely on board to help Cas however he can.
He asks how he can hear Cas' true voice and Cas doesn't know. He asks if he can see him, and Cas says no, because he can't risk his eyes, and Dean points out that if he can understand what he's saying he can probably take a peak without the whole eyes burning up in his head thing.
But the wind chime tinkling can somehow sound exactly like Cas without sounding nothing like Cas when it says. No.
Dean has mixed feelings on how the familiar and unfamiliar overlap. He feels fond. "This is what you really sound like? Like a friggin' music box? That's what blew out all the windows and nearly exploded Sam's ears?"
The following silence shouldn't remind Dean of the squinty eyed stare he knows well, but it does.
So Dean is now the only one who can understand Cas, who is hovering nearby, invisible. he learns how to speak to just Dean so that he stops exploding all the glass around him. and the race is on to find his body and get him back inside before it's too late.
Why can Dean understand him now?? Interesting question.
(He secretly wonders if this is what his prayers to Cas feel like to him.)
He does in fact convince Cas to reveal his true form and of course he can see it just fine. It's a fun moment of really seeing the person you've become so familiar with in a new light. (You know the drill.)
(Also Cas' line about how big his true form is was hugely exaggerating for Samuel's benefit. Angels are big glowing multi-winged bird-like creatures with a halo on fire above their heads.)
Cas has to communicate with Sam via Dean and they have conversations that sound bizarre to Sam because he can only hear Dean's side of it. but it's also kind of normal and on brand for the two of them really.
It'd be a fun time.
When Cas does eventually get his body back Dean gets a little sad about the loss of the voice in his head and the cool bird creature, but he's happy to see his friend is okay. and that he's in a form he can hug with relief now.
then when he goes to sleep that night he has a dream. that Cas walks into. He hints at the reason Dean could understand him (their bond) and thanks him again. Finally they sit together on a sunny grassy hill in Dean's dream - Cas in his true form and Dean petting his feathers gently.
I feel like ppl watched ep 11 of dff and rly jumped on the 'Phee clearly didnt care abt Non and totally gave up on getting revenge' train. which like. i get in a way. But i've been thinking abt Phee and New and their motivations for revenge bc, ultimately, neither of them are really getting revenge FOR Non - both of them are seeking revenge for selfish reasons, however their circumstances and the direct effects of the group's actions change how they feel about exacting their plan, I think.
Phee is largely seeking clarity and wants to clear his own conscience. Obviously he's (rightfully) vengeful towards the group bc they hurt Non so deeply, but to me it felt like throughout the series Phee has really come to realize that there is not a single "innocent" in the house (except perhaps White). Also, in spite of himself he rly did catch feelings for Jin, and may even feel some level of genuine affection for at least some of the other group members. So yeah, he falters in their revenge plan and I rly think he's just questioning Everything by the end of ep 11. Like who is he rly doing all this for? What role did he play in Non's death? What will revenge get him really? and then obviously we kinda see him decide that killing the whole group isn't going to help him so he turns the gun on New, but he still hesitates.
Meanwhile, i've seen and heard so many people rly like praising New for being ig decisive, vengeful, there's been a lot of praise for his absolutely ruthless approach to revenge. but i feel like everyone's kinda overlooking that he's also seeking revenge for purely selfish reasons?? like he basically said "fuck what Non might've wanted, i want you all dead bc you ruined MY life." it all came back to how the group's actions towards Non had a negative impact on New's life, like he goes on abt how he could've been in London, his parents could've been alive, it's just wholly selfish. Like obviously he cares about Non and what happened to him or else he would've just fucked back off to London - but the revenge he wants really has very little to do with Non. New seems to care more that his own life was fucked over than that Non's was lost. So, he wants to find out what happened and take out the people that forced him to come back to Thailand and deal with his family. He is I think a much more black and white character compared to Phee. New is on the you all fucked up? cool time to be punished, whereas Phee seems to be more empathetic to the gray zone surrounding every character (except maybe Por - i still haven't found a redeeming quality for him oop). This is likely bc Phee was directly involved w/ the events leading to Non's disappearance whereas New only came back to the aftermath, after his life abroad had been interrupted.
Gordon should NOT get a biological hand back(if he does it’s busted to all hell and mostly numb). And any prosthetic he gets sucks ass unless it has a cartoony switchable feature that lets him adapt to certain tasks because even high tech prosthetic hands with the correct reaction speeds will never beat gun arm if your goal is shooting something.
What im saying is he makes a million different hands for himself to the point where he has “fork hand” and “screwdriver hand” and “scissor hand” ect
as someone who cannot deal with mobile gacha games post-2016 I AM cautiously intrigued by infinity nikki. visuals look fantastic and so cute, the platforming in the ign gameplay i saw seemed a little rough but as long as its not too hard i'll be fine (<- said as a person who is shockingly bad at 3d platformers) but i am hopeful. if its a fun game to play i'll be really excited, as someone who's only played nikki up2u ive always been curious about how that normal girl dressup game turned into like. nikkis hellscape or whatever ive heard about it. nikkis torture dimension. nikkis purgatorial plain of endless suffering. thats my understanding of the franchise at least.
ooc. Do you ever think about how a.kihiko's weakness is not fire but ice. I think about it a lot. I know he is electricity but think about ice aki though. Like ... THINK ABOUT IT. MANEFESITING THE THING THAT COULD HELP YOUR SISTER IN THAT BIG ASS FIRE. I wonder why a.kihiko manifested electricity instead hm. Was he influenced by something when he was a kid--growing up in the Sanada family??? Hmmmmm. I wonder if it is something his foster mom kind of influenced on him because let's be real. I can't imagine that there is no mention of the foster mom that 'saved' from that orphanage life ... Mama Sanada I love you. I will think about it more later. You can think with me ofc.
most of the time i have zero understanding for the want to read bad nromance novels im like. why would you do that. what do you get out of that. but last night i was going thru the markwardo tag on ao3 and i was . utterly and completely charmed. by how many were like. eduardo works at a coffee shop on campus and mark sits in the corner till close on his computer! au where they're born with their soulmate's most important words on them! au where they get stuck in a timeloop and mark spends it trying to give eduardo the most romantic day possible so that he can always remember it and be happy!
accessibility doesnt make words have different meanings. stop stigmatizing not being able to do things. if someone can't read that's fine, just like if someone can't walk that's fine. having a disability means you can't do certain things. you need to make that okay and it starts with you changing your mindset to get rid of social values like that. make it easier for people who can't do stuff, and don't judge them for not being able to do them.
despite her jokes the sounds upstairs were.. suspicious. should really check now. what a pain... better not be any fuckin burglars here or whatever. rude to rob a kid who aint even here. whos presumed dead.
she gets up and starts to creep upstairs... or try to at least. why the fuck are the stairs so creaky? swear it wasnt that damn loud before.
upstairs. she slowly opens the door at the top, hoping not to be noticed. from this angle she can see the living room... and the person in it. someones actually here? ..seriously? he looks sketchy as fuck.
rune steps out and draws her ornate dagger, pointing at the weird man. "who the fuck are you and what are you doing here."
she squints her eyes. now out in the light and closer to him he seems a little... familiar. rune lowers her dagger a bit. "do i know you..?"
