For your writer asks (because I'm nosy, too - I loooooove to read writers on writing!)

14) Is there something you wish readers would pick up on more in your stories?

18) Are there emotions that come to you easily while writing? Or ones that are difficult for you to describe?

Thanks for the ask @fizzyginfizz!

14) Is there something you wish readers would pick up on more in your stories?

Hm, easy answer is I wouldn't expect readers to pick up on certain things right now! But particularly in the last 5 chapters I've been pushing some themes and foreshadowing now that I've got an outline for my Ginny POV story for Deathly Hallows. I'd never presume that someone would read my works twice! But in the future (once I get to the DH story), if they did, they'd find some cool nuggets. Truly, in the end, I do it because it's just fun for me to play with the execution :) Also in the last 5-6 chapters, I've come up with little tricks for myself to help fuel inspiration. These I'd never expect anyone to pick up on. Maybe they do, and I'm not as clever as I think? Idk. Like for instance, in my last chapter. I wanted to run with the "glowing hand" idea and use it to contrast Ginny's reactions to Harry vs. Dean and her personal battle vulnerability overall. So, I made Ginny's left hand the warm/Harry hand. And then later her right is the one stretched out the window, gets cold, and is warmed by the left hand. Then I imagined Dean was holding her right hand, making her feel cold, stiff, and fragile - mirroring her changing view of him. Just something I did in my mind to make myself feel more *creative* and craft elements of the chapter. And in Hermione's last chapter, she's holding Jane Eyre and there are a few motifs from that novel sprinkled throughout (burning sheets, porridge, "emotional home", etc.) that I felt fit the scenario and character. But those are just for me and I'd never expect people to actually pick that up! And you might've seen when you beta'd for me, but I also imagine the Gryffindor Quidditch team like individuals from a "royal court" which helps me frame how I might make them interact (but not in an obvious way). Ginny = warrior princess, Demelza = lady in waiting, etc etc... Just silliness because I'm not terribly creative on my own.

18) Are there emotions that come to you easily while writing? Or ones that are difficult for you to describe?

Humor is so tough for me! Knowing how to craft a funny situation or exchange can take me quite a while. My day to day humor is very inside-jokey and dry. So it's a challenge to make humor that I think a wide audience might find funny. So that's why I admire your writing! Because you do have a good balance of comedy and depth. Come easily? Ah, the morally grey comes easily (what does that say about me? 🫣). I need to keep myself in check with the darker, more angsty side of things.

[explainslowly]

Unironically using "no kissing on the mouth" in fics is stupid, however it would be funny if you did it correctly

I think Dean would blurt it out in a moment of panic when things get too real during a "guys helping each other out" type of hookup with Cas because he has seen that movie a lot of times (internally justifying it to himself as being into Julia Roberts, but really it's just that he would loooooove to be Pygmalioned, he would love it so much)

Bonus: if post Metatron pop-culture download, Cas would defo ask "are you quoting a movie, Dean?" and Dean would have to pretend he never heard of Pretty Woman

[dean-winchester-is-a-warrior]

Hiiiii !!! 👋 I'm here to try and give you some inspiration as you asked !! (I didn't pick the angstiest prompts because it didn't match well with the other prompts and you would have broken my heart but let me know if you want me to pick more angsty prompts!)

So ! I made 3 pack of inspiration, I always loooooove to read about Dean but if you're inspired by someone else, real or fictional, follow your desire 😊 :

First proposition : 2 “i believe you.” (fluff), 41 “call me that again.” (smut), 44 “can’t you listen for one second?” (angst)

Second proposition : 21 “you remembered?” (fluff), 38 “as beautiful as you look, all i want to do is rip that dress off right now.” (smut), 4 “don’t lie to me.” (angst)

Third proposition : 34 “i just wanted to make you laugh.” (fluff), 50 “i thought your laugh was the prettiest sound in the world. i was wrong, it's your moans.” (smut), 24 “you deserve better.” (angst)

Happy writing !!!

OMG!! You are the BEST, Eva!! Thank you so much for these! They've sparked a lot of ideas, and I can't wait to write them! I love these combinations! I have an idea that would involve a 3 part drabble series that would include all 3, but I'm not sure yet if that will work. If not, I'll just write 3 separate drabbles. But I'll have to wait and see how the muse strikes! 😊

Thanks again, beautiful - I so appreciate it! ❤️

[rennerator]

Oh My!!!!! Oh Cas... This is SOO COOL!!!! SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! But, in a way, SO TRAGIC TOO!!! It has SUCH AN IMPORTANT and STRONG MEANING!!! (at least for me) Cause, it feels to me like Cas sees himself as just a "toy" a "weapon" a "doll" that would do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING for his LOVED ONE(s) (in this specific case Dean), but, I ALSO FEEL like, at the same that he seems himself as ONLY THAT too... Like, he is NOT "allowed" to have things, because he is not "like them"... That is WHY, I WANT Cas to HEAR, not ONLY in "speeches but in ACTIONS too", ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I want SO SOOO MUCH for someone to go there and SAVE him from the Empty, he ALSO deserves to HAVE THAT!!! To HEAR that he is LOVED and that he MATTERS and to be SHOWN all THAT TOO!!!! Sorry for all that!!! I got a little too into it!!! XD But, OH MY, I LOOOOOOVE THIS!!!!! I LOVE THIS SO SOOO F* MUCH!!!!!! SOOO GORGEOUS, SOOO EMOTIONAL!!! SOOO STRONG!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Thank YOU!!! THANK YOU SO SOOO MUCH for this!!! You are INCREDIBLE!!!! :) <3

duvet, toasted, december for the ask 💖🖤

Hi!!!! Thanks so much for asking!! 😁

duvet— what fictional character would you want to spend a day with and why?

I have two answers of varying seriousness lol.

1.) Robin Buckley from Stranger Things. She's fun, hot, and I think our personalities would mesh well. Plus, I want to kiss her.

2.) Dean Winchester from Supernatural. That man needs to talk out all of his feelings! I always yell that at my screen when I watch the show lol. If I could meet Dean, I would get him to talk. I don't believe monsters are real irl, or have any interest in them. I just want to help this man be less emotionally repressed 😭.

toasted— what is your favorite type of cuisine and what dishes do you like?

I loooooove Italian food. I'm a big pasta and pizza fan. Also, every Italian dessert tastes like heaven. Tiramisu and gelato my beloveds.

I also am required to talk about Polish food. My favorites are barszcz, naleśniki, and gołąbki!!

december—describe your favorite movie or tv show in a few words, or in a nutshell

Cartoon, spanning several decades, comedy, family-centric plots, quotable (The Simpsons)

x-men comic finished the vault arc synch/laura and darwin went through

darwin's suffering sucked, but wow his evolution was clever.

dissapointed they didn't go god mode with him, and let him go through all that shit int he first place.

Yeah, their continued refusal to categorize Darwin and Synch as omegas is glaring and not cute. Like, bullshit is bullshit. But I do agree that at least Armando's glow-up seems particularly plot relevant....can't help but think his dataform is going to be key to defeating Nimrod, Karima and/or the Phalanx.

I have no strong feelings about Synchverine as a pairing, though I kinda hate it just on the basis of the shit being flung at Ev by racist Laura stans....its like umm you guys are fine shipping her with HELLION but Everett Thomas, you object to? Okay, that's a Choice, alright. (And I say that as someone who LIKES Julian, lmfao, but like. Let's be fucking real here, can we?)

Personally I've always shipped Ev with Monet and I'm always gonna be annoyed the two of them haven't gotten a single scene together since his resurrection, but oh well. And idk if you're familiar with her, but given Ev's age because of the Vault, alternatively if older Laura doesn't stick around (we know this X-office isn't a fan of duplicates so part of my wariness about this ship is I feel like its headed for Angstville in a way that won't do either character any favors), I would loooooove for them to bring back Gaia. She was a reality warping mutant from Gen-X that had a will they/won't they pseudo relationship with Ev back in the day....

Ironically, the reason they never got together was because Gaia left to travel the world because due to comic book typical Shenanigans, she was several centuries old and yet had barely any life experience....and hmmm, who is now also several centuries old and yet limited to a very narrow parameter of life experiences? I'm just saying. HERE'S HOW GAIA/EVERETT CAN STILL WIN!!!

But yeah, I'm kinda tired of the whole Vault thing because it continues to be just a wasted opportunity that they seem to have no interest in using to its fullest narrative potential and just keep coming back to anyway, and its not exactly making any characters look good. Was not a fan of Forge's storyline here, though at least he didn't go full Hank McCoy with Caliban and pulled back before he crossed too many moral thresholds there. I did like Caliban's dynamic with Serafina though, and I'm a big fan of Forge's vision for a future Krakoa.....like.....one of the weakest aspects of Krakoa as a paradigm has been the lazy efforts at nation-building, there's no real infrastructure to it, and I'm not really talking physical infrastructure so much as social, but making Krakoa look more along the lines of what Forge is picturing could go a long way towards breaking writers out of the rut they seem to be in with seeing it as fully formed as-is, when its like.....really, really, not.

But also I just love Cassara's art and worldbuilding so I'm just kinda like....any chance for him to do backgrounds is a Yes Please from me. I think he and Reis have done the best renditions of Krakoa to date, and with Caselli coming over from X-Men Red to do the tie-in Brood storyline issues when the book crosses over with Captain Marvel in a couple months, I would looooooove it if Cassara goes over to X-Men Red for a couple issues too. I wanna see his take on Arakko.

Anyway - the BS with Darwin and Synch remains my biggest pet peeve, tbh. The omega list is waaaaay too white, and there are so many options for omega characters of color. The two of them, Laura Dean aka Pathway from Alpha Flight, Willie Evans Jr., Joseph Calhoun, etc, etc. And with several Great Ring seats up for grabs on Arakko, they're introducing more omegas there, which is good because I don't think there should be any more Krakoans on the Great Ring, Ororo and Roberto are enough as is. But one of the new Arakkii omegas is the old white guy with a beard from the Sins of Sinister promo, his name is Jon Ironfire I think and that's just his design from Year 1000, when we meet him in the present X-Men Red he'll of course be much younger. Still, the point is, they keep making new white omega mutants when......seriously. There are so many characters of color they could be upgrading instead.

[slashermary]

just cried to ccr…i have become my father :/

[rennerator]

I wonder how they would do it! Probably would be like how Bobby and Jack appeared there in the last episode of Season 1, right? But, the thing is, would Cas and Dean "interact" there? It seems like, no. I wonder if maybe then it would have been a "tease" for Season 2, or something like that! But, if I am not mistaken, Berens has said that they would do the Season as having an "ending" without things "left in the open" or something like that. BUT, I LOOOOOOVE that Misha is, YET AGAIN, showing HOW MUCH he cares about Cas and wants RESOLUTION for his character!!!! I hope that the "fans" that were being AWFUL and DISGUSTING and HATING on Misha for "not WANTING" to be Cas anymore or for NOT CARING about Cas and the Show, ARE EATING THEIR WORDS NOW!!!!! Thank YOU MISHA, THANK YOU!!!! S2 Thank YOU for FIGHTING FOR CAS and for wanting GOOD and MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION for Cas!!!! I LOOOOOVE The Winchesters and I AM still SO SAD that we didn't get a Season 2 and onwards!!! But, again, they WANTED Cas THERE, and they would have made a little cameo with him, why couldn't they make a LITTLE NOD to him then in the Finale there, when they knew they wouldn't have Cas in it anymore? They didn't have Sam in it, BUT, they made SURE to have him been mention and have IMPORTANCE related to the plot of the show! I wish they could have put just a LITTLE nod to Cas there. Like I said before, it could have been just a dressing choice, a PHRASE CHOICE, a LITTLE PAINT IN THE WALL... I would EVEN take Baby's plate as a NOD to Cas, IF someone in it had brought attention to it! Anyways, I am rambling... I LOOOOOOOOVE that question there!!!! YES YEEEES YEEEES!!!!! Thank YOU SO SOOOO MUCH for asking that question there!!! And, THANK YOU MISHA, for that answer there!!! I gotta say, maybe I am just too naive and too trusting, but I do BELIEVE that they wanted to do more with Cas, maybe for the next seasons and all that... But, like I said before, it is just weird that they didn't try to just put a little nod/importance to Cas there even more knowing that it could have been the finale of the show... I have to be honest here, me as a fan of the show and a fan of Cas, I felt hurt and excluded there when there were mentions and nods to Jack, Bobby and Sam but NONE for Cas in the Season 1 Finale... Let's HOPE HERE for the anime sequel! \o/ XD I have to say, THIS MADE ME HAPPY!!!! Hearing Misha say ALL the things that WE, Misha and Cas fans having been saying ALL ALONG, IS a very good feeling!!! Again, I am hoping here that ALL of the "fans" that were dismissing Misha and being HORRIBLE to him and saying how he didn't want to be Cas anymore and didn't CARE about Cas or the fans are EATING THEIR WORDS now and being ASHAMED for HOW VILLE they were to him!!! Thank YOU SO SOOO MUCH for sharing this with us!!!! You are AMAZING!!!! :) <3 Also, I WROTE SOO MUCH but forgot to talk about HOW PERFECT that answer from Misha is!!! YES, MISHA, YEEEEEESSSS!!! I am ALSO on the train for Cas still being in The Empty and seeing him being RESCUED!!!! I would like Dean to rescue him? OF F* COURSE, but if "not possible", AT LEAST, let us have SOMEONE rescuing Cas there and it BEING SHOWN!!

The Winchesters were going to have Castiel on(they knew his popularity), but only for ratings and only for a one off moment while avoiding anything from before. They were gonna do to Cas what they did with the other characters from og spn, just have Cas on for a couple of scenes and say a few lines. Seems like Misha was like "naw" and went to Jensen letting him know if his show was gonna have Cas, they're not doing some cameo and avoiding canon moments from spn. Misha wasn't doing it that way and it seems Jensen agreed(had no choice, really) when Misha went to him about it. They talked that out and agreed more would be needed for Cas. As it should be.

[ragnarssons]

Everytime I watch Swan Song I cry like a bitch. Because I KNOW it was supposed to be the end of the show. Not “dum dum duuum Sam is back!” more like, Sam is freaking dead forever tortured by Lucifer and you have to live with it and Dean went to live his dumb apple pie life with a character you met once and you’re supposed to be okay with it. As a Sam!Girl, I would have NEVER been able to handle this ending. My baby deserves better than this, they BOTH deserve better than this (don’t get me wrong, Swan Song is an amazing episode). Idc if it’s optimistic or doesn’t suit most of the fandom, I want the show to end with Sam and Dean, BOTH alive, TOGETHER (”against the world” as said in Fanfiction). Seems simple enough, tbh!

Shawn Michaels x Fem Reader- "Problem"

I've created this female professional wrestling original character that lives rent free in my head, and my wrestling original character's gimmick was a slut/nymphomaniac.

However, I've wondered if she should play this Dean Yeagle's Mandy bimbo-type character, or play a "Three's Company"-esque jiggle TV character.

Then again, the Attitude era was about shock value and sexual content, and went on during the same time "South Park" was at the height of its popularity (and a running gag on "South Park" was that Cartman's mom is a slut), and was going on during the same time "The Jerry Springer Show" and Howard Stern (which invited porn stars, nymphomaniacs, sluts, strippers and hookers), Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown (who started the trend of sexually explicit female rappers) and "Sex and the City" were all at the heights of their popularity.

______________________________________________________________

One of the most iconic, notorious moments in professional wrestling history was on a "Monday Night Raw" episode that had aired on September 15th, 1997, where Shawn Michaels strutted to the ring wearing these tight black biker shorts that showed off a huge, massive bulge in his crotch area.

That bulge was a sock stuffed down his bike shorts to show off the outline of his penis, and when he stood in the ring, he eventually jumped up and down and kept pointing to his huge bulge, eventually to lay on the ring on his back and thrust and hump the air while his hands motioned and pointed at his crotch.

That moment caused a lot of controversy even back then---so much so Shawn Michaels was fined for it.

However, when Vince McMahon saw that moment, he soon stated that the World Wrestling Federation needed more attitude and that aforementioned Shawn Michaels moment is stated to have started the Attitude era.

When Vince McMahon saw that moment, he said the WWF needed more edgy content, and that's what lead to the Attitude era.

Even though you were happy about the WWF becoming edgier and more adult oriented, especially considering you felt like you weren't really being yourself in the WWF in 1996 and 1997, there was a problem you had related to the WWF becoming edgier you had to address to.

But not to Vince McMahon.

Shortly after that "Monday Night Raw" episode where Shawn Michaels kept pointing to his bulge while wearing biker shorts and Vince McMahon said the WWF needed more "attitude", you stood with Shawn backstage and talked with him.

You weren't talking with him during a "Monday Night Raw" or "Shotgun Saturday Night" episode or even a pay-per-view, and your discussion wasn't filmed and broadcast on television for people to see.

"I looooooved that moment when you put a sock down your shorts to make it seem like you have a boner" you confessed to Shawn with a naughty smile on your face, your eyes looking into his eyes, standing close to Shawn until your chest was touching and nudging his chest.

Your confession made Shawn sheepishly chuckle and smile.  

"I knew you would" Shawn said with a smile.

"Vince McMahon said that he wants the WWF to have more 'attitude'" you mentioned, your fingers crooking like quotation marks when you said the word "attitude". "And I'm okay with that, in fact, I'm happy about it"

"Me too" Shawn agreed, nodding his head. "I wanted the WWF to be...edgier before you even joined the company"

Before you probably even started watching the WWF.

Shawn paused his sentence a little while to think of a word to describe what he wanted the WWF to be like, and he decided on "edgier".

"Seeing you with that fake boner bulging through your shorts" you mentioned, your index finger running up and down his chest as your mouth smiled and your eyes looked at his crotch. "Y'know how female wrestling valets flirt with opponents to distract them?"

Shawn nodded his head.

Of course he knows that

"I'd love to suck on and lick your cock covered by your tights in the ring as a distraction" you confessed, your eyes scrolling up to his eyes to look into them, you put emphasis on the word "love" when you confessed that and placed your hand on his chest. "Especially considering the WWF now wants an edgier direction"

Shawn's eyes grew wide and his eyebrows raised when he heard that you'd love to suck his penis covered by his tights.

"But...there's a problem" you argued, although not sounding angry, your mouth pouting and your voice sounding less sexier than before. "Hunter and I sometimes help you out and join you in the ring, and I can't really probably suck your cock if you were Hunter's opponent since I'm Hunter's valet"

Shawn nodded his head, agreeing with you.

"And you'd probably get fined a lot of money like I did recently" Shawn added.

"Fuck those people who fined you!" you exclaimed with an angry, disgusted look on your face and in the tone of your voice.

Shawn nodded his head, raising one of his hands to give you a high five, to which your hand collided into his hand and gave him a high five, although you didn't hit his hand too hard.

Eventually, you couldn't suck on Shawn's dick as a distraction if he was Hunter's opponent since he as well as you were members of D Generation X.

"Even though I love being Hunter Hearst Helmsley's valet and all" you mentioned, your face and your voice looking and sounding calmer. "Not only would I love to distract Hunter, but since Hunter does the pedigree, where he, y'know, put's someone's head in between his thighs and holds their arms, I'd love it if in a wrestling match Hunter spanked my ass when he's about to do a pedigree on me"

"I know you'd love Hunter spanking you in a pedigree" Shawn brought up with his head slowly nodding.

"I don't have to wrestle against Hunter" you explained. "I can just be a valet for someone else and try to distract Hunter, and then Hunter will pull me into the ring, put my head in between his thighs and then spank my ass"

"I understand" Shawn replied. "Would you try to suck on Hunter's dick if it was covered by his tights in a pedigree?"

"Hell yeah!" you stated, although not sounding so angry.

"A lot of wrestlers' tights and singlets are all sweaty from all that wrestling" Shawn mentioned. "You'd be tasting nasty, salty crotch sweat on their tights and singlets"

"I know" you admitted, pouting your lip. "Plus, I'd be tasting the fabric of their tights and singlets, which isn't a pleasant taste, I'll just have to pretend it doesn't taste nasty"

"I bet the WWF is going to make you play what you're really like backstage" Shawn referred, referring to how you're a very sexually promiscuous slut and nymphomaniac behind the scenes backstage and when the cameras aren't rolling.

"Oh, without a doubt"  you said. "Even if the WWF didn't make me play that, I'd come up with that idea for a gimmick, like how Stone Cold came up with his redneck gimmick"

"And how Razor Ramon's Tony Montana character was Scott Hall's own idea" Shawn added.

Even though you eventually and unfortunately couldn't suck on and even lick Shawn Michaels' and Triple H's penises covered by their tights in the ring due to you being a member of D Generation X (as well as being the Sunny to their Bodydonnas and Stacy Keibler to their Dudley Boyz), you playing a promiscuous, slutty nymphomaniac came true.

And even sucking and licking male wrestlers' private parts as a distraction in the ring came true next year by the time the WWF changed its logo to that scratch logo and its name to "WWF Attitude".

In fact, sucking on a male wrestler's penis covered by his tights or singlet was your signature distraction, like how Stacy Keibler's signature distraction is turning around, grabbing her skirt, lifting it up and showing off her ass cheeks, and Debra's signature distraction is opening her top up and showing off her puppies (and I don't mean baby dogs), albeit her breasts are covered by a bra.

However, on a "Monday Night Raw" episode broadcast and aired on television in August of 1998, during one of those "coming up next" vignettes where the guitar riff to Slam Jam's "We're All Together Now", you were backstage in the locker room sucking on Triple H's penis covered by his jockstrap.

At the beginning of 1998, you, Shawn and Triple H did this photoshoot for a magazine, where you were squatting in between those 2 and sucking and licking their dicks covered by their tights.

Sorry for answering only now ! 😱

I actually reaaaaaally loved how you chose to make the reader a FBI agent because YES when you really think about it, those guys are looked for by the while country ! Between bank robbery and the way everywhere they go there are dead people, Sam and Dean should have never been left alone, the FBI must have always looked for them ! So it's so interesting that she followed both of them through the years, tracking them down with Viktor 👮‍♂️

I think you did an amazing job at the whole criminal/cops vibe and how she was a real threat at first (until she fell in love with him 😏) and I loved how she analyzed him, making him aware of his coping mechanisms and all, it was very interesting ! And I'm amazed how you managed to write those things so well, I was really into it and felt like I was analyzing him with her !

Ahah yeah, I can see why you feel like he needs someone tough that would argue with him when he's doing stupid things again 🙈 but this little baby also needs cuddles and comfort 🥺 but I truly like their relationship and how quickly he's been head over heels for her ! And she's got a kid, of course he would fall in love with her, his daddy side came back to life !

Wow. So once again, you put so much time and energy in this story ! I love that you did "researches" for it ! And it didn't feel forced at all, I love where you picked up their story and how you created another ending for them (wayyyyy much better than the original one, of course !)

Yes and that's also why I love her ! She can protect herself but it's not too much either, you know ? They have similarities and I love how they managed to meet in the middle 🥰

Ahahah "treat hunting as a hobby, like golf" 😂😂 Oh my god, really ?! He's gonna be REAL FBI ?! No, don't tell me ! I mean.. no ! But how will they manage to do so ?! I guess I'll have to read, then 😏😉

Ahah but we loooooove drama, so 👍 I can't wait to continue reading this series, definitely hyped me again !

I loved this director's cut ! 😚🖤

Hey ! Can I have the director's commentary on Don't Blame Me and maybe how you got the idea ? :) (I absolutely need to continue this series, so feel free to tease me all you want !)

Hi sweetie 😊 Thank you so much for the ask! It was so fun to think about the beginnings of this story again 🥰

I got the idea for DBM in early 2021 while doing a Supernatural rewatch. I always found the storyline around Henriksen and the FBI hilarious and thought the perspective of an agent who treated them as serial killers so interesting. I always loved crime shows and true crime documentaries and really wanted to do a story along those lines! Secondly, it was inspired by that shapeshifter therapy episode with Jack and Dean’s attitude throughout. That’s when I really wanted to expand on the whole psychologist idea and thought it’d be so fun if a therapist was living locked with them in the bunker. I knew Dean wouldn’t be amused, so I figured the best way was to have the reader just observe and then offer “innocent” side commentary that would drive him a little nuts until she eventually wears him down. I always thought he needed someone super stubborn, who wouldn’t take no for an answer or put up with his bullshit 😂

My goal was just to give both boys a happy ending they deserve, but I didn’t want it to feel forced. I wanted it to be a natural development. So I rewatched the whole show and took down notes of everything Dean said he either felt towards the hunting life or wanted for his future. The reader’s main job was then to correct some misguided notions and basically show him there’s another way 😉 I also made her a mom on purpose to draw parallels to Lisa and why (in my opinion) it didn’t work out between them.

That’s why I figured an FBI profiler would be the perfect occupation for the reader character. She can handle herself in dangerous situations and even has an itch to constantly help people, albeit she’s risking her life, and she also has the mental skills to navigate everything Dean may throw at her. I really liked the idea that both of them would be giving something up that made them comfortable in their respective lives. The reader was supposed to love her job until she realized she loved Dean even more and was willing to sacrifice her career for him ❤️☺️

And lastly, after Chuck and with Jack/Cas/Rowena in charge, I figured it’d be a good moment for the brothers to (half-)retire. There are no more big bads, only a few monsters around. They could easily have normal jobs and do something they really wanna do and treat hunting as a weekend hobby like golf 😅 For Sam, I always saw him getting his law degree (about damn time!). And for Dean, well, there might be a badge in his future… 🤓

I know exactly what the last chapter will be, and I’m so excited for it! But before that, we still have a lot of drama ahead of us 😈 There’s one big storyline still coming up for season 3, and I can’t wait to write it 😁🖤

[diminuel]

Every once in a while I pop over to your tumblr to see what adorableness you've cooked up this month! I (belatedly) saw you were taking prompts a few days ago. I adore your naga!verse, and me being me, if you feel up to it, would loooooove to see a pop of naga Sam! (But I totally get if that's not your spin right now.) Anywho, I love your stuff and it always makes me smile!

;w; Thank you!

It's funny because the last time I asked for ideas to draw I thought "Dean's alright to draw, but Sam? So hard. Sam's impossible to draw. Unless you're quickreaver I guess" *gigglesnort* I mean, logically the Sam focused artists/ those who have Sam ships are gonna be much better at Sam art than I am. Even though I started SPN as a Sam girl haha)

I'll definitely have to draw Naga!Sam ♥

Rating Exorcisms and Spells on Supernatural as if I am Grading Them on Their Latin

Basically, this is just a review of some Latin incantations on the show.

Disclaimer: Latin is a hard language. I’ve been studying it for 6 years and I am by no means an expert, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. That being said I do have a background in Latin and Linguistics so I do have a good idea of how the language works. I’ll include the Latin, my translation, and then my opinion on each incantation.

Here’s some general background information about the structure of Latin for any of those who are interested:

Latin typically is a Subject-Object-Verb language (as opposed to English which is a SVO language) but it does have free word order so the words can be rearranged into any order

Nouns and Adjectives decline in terms of case, number, and gender (aka each noun/adjective has 10* forms)

Verbs are conjugated with person, number, tense, and mood (aka each verb has 120+* forms)

word choice is important because of the relatively limited lexicon so many words hold several meanings that depend on context

1. Shortened Exorcism

"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica, ergo draco maledicte, ut ecclesiam tuam secura, tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos!"

We exorcize you, all foul spirits, all satanic powers, all hellish enemy attacks, all legions, all congregations and devilish sects, therefore the evil serpent, in order to make you serve liberty in your secure church, we ask you, hear us!

The classic (shortened) exorcism that appears a few times throughout the show. Generally a good message for an exorcism it makes sense. Technically all of ‘omnis... diabolica’  should all be in the accusative case (not the nominative) to agree with te ‘you’, and the number (sg/pl) is inconsistent so a few points off. Good use of the vocative for draco maledicte, though! The purpose clause at the end of the exorcism is a little clunky, but they did use the proper ut + subjunctive structure. Extra point for being a legitimate exorcism but minus a point for being Medieval Latin bc I’m a hater.

2. Rowena’s Curses in 10x16

Torture and a violent death, torturing

Now this first one just doesn’t quite make sense: it is not a complete sentence so I am confused by the use of the participle at the end and it’s case. It does seem to be effective though, Olivette sure is getting tortured.

2/10

Your fate is a journey without end towards nothing. 

I like this one! For some reason all captions/scripts write iter sine as one word not sure why? Only thing I would change is use nihil for ‘nothing’ instead of nullum (lit. ‘no things’). (Could also put est at the end of the sentence but that’s more of a style choice.) Not sure how this incantation turns someone into a hamster specifically but a solid curse nonetheless!

3. Belphegor’s Spell

Spirits of hell, souls having risen from the infernal pit i confine you within the boundaries

Solid translation for someone who is not familiar with the language. Since hell is singular, inferorum should instead be inferni. I would have either used an ablative absolute (which we don’t have in English) or a relative clause in the first part making it animi inferorum spirito [ex] abysso surrecti ‘sptirits of hell, having been risen from the pit…’ or animi infernorum cui spiritus abyssi surrecti ‘spirtis of hell whose souls have been raised from the pit’. Also I would use a different verb than defigo, maybe something more like coherceo/conpesco. 

7/10

4. Dean Summoning Death

I call upon you now, Death.  I enchant you in my power, now and forever.

Pretty baller summoning spell if you ask me. Personally, it added to the experience to know what exactly Dean was doing before the spell worked. Since this is a direct invocation of Death, Mortem should be in the vocative (Mors). Nice use of the idiomatic in aeternum for ‘forever’. 

9.5/10

5. Sam’s Warding Spell

Bind together these powerful warding sigils. Renew them. Strengthen them. Save us all.

This actually reads like real Latin; Latin looooooves using pronouns (has, eas). It’s all in the imperative (mood used for commands): sounds good, very direct. Extra points for being the first correct classical pronunciation of the Latin <v> in the whole show (<v> makes a /w/ sound in Latin)! Excellent Job Samwitch! (apparently Jared took Latin in high school so good job buddy)

2, 10, 18 and 30!

2. What is the worst episode (excluding bugs and the last two episodes)?

i’m going to limit myself to kripke era here because i have not watched large chunks of s6-s15 and have pretty much only seen the good episodes from those seasons. and the answer is fresh blood. gordon’s whole storyline is horrifically racist and ending by turning him into an actual monster as defined by the show so they can kill him without regrets is cruel and disgusting to watch.

10. Baby!Jack or canon!Jack?

so in fanon i loooooove baby jack art and headcanons i think they are very cute and fun. but i think canon!jack is more interesting and has more narrative potential. first of all it’s very fun to explain to my non-spn friends “yeah they’re raising the son of lucifer together and he’s a very special boy with powers and he’s three years old but also an adult man.” second of all it’s interesting that he’s a kid and an adult at the same time! he had to grow up fast because he was in danger but growing up fast puts him more at risk from the winchesters (well, dean), his supposed allies, because dean will take any excuse to label him as a monster and it’s easier to do that to an adult than a child. also the possibilities of post-canon if they’d actually delivered on the free will and not having to live up to your destinies themes...what do you do when you’re a superpowered adult toddler and you don’t have to save the world anymore? high school???

18. Ideally, what season would have Dean and Cas gotten together?

s13 when cas comes back from the empty 🥺 in my ideal world he would have been gone for longer and dean has to help get him back (i’m taking inspiration from all the 15x18 fixits i’ve read) and the season conflict is about dean reconciling with jack and forgiving him while cas is still dead. and then they get cas back and they get together either ambiguously or unambiguously and the show ends <3

30. What destiel fic are you currently reading/wanting to read?

i am currently reading On Labor and really enjoying it! but i am getting a little tired of fics where Dean Has Issues and would love some more cas-centric stuff so i’d like to try teaching poetry to fish next. i’ve just had too many library books out recently to read long!fic.

New tag game: Post pictures of your first ever (fictional/celeb) crush to the latest one and tag five others to continue the game

Thanks to @minmoyu for tagging me and ooof, are you sure you’re ready for this?!! :D I have been around/in fandom for a loooooong time and at first I thought, okay, no way I can list all my crushes, there have been SO many and we’ll be here all day but then as I started compiling a list I found I was having fun reminiscing and decided, what the heck, yeah, let’s do em all... or at least all I can remember! :D

There have absolutely for sure been other more minor crushes and passing fancies along the way, but these are the big ones that I remember (and that, in more recent years, I can track by going through my posted fanfics on AO3 and even *shudder* FFNET and seeing which shows I was into enough to want to write fic about the characters).

[Quick note: with rare exceptions, for actors I am listing them by the character they played rather than just the actor. Whilst there are actors that I like in multiple roles (and conversely, characters who on paper I would normally be into but are played by actors who do nothing for me, and hence the character generally does nothing for me either), for the most part it is the character I really have the crush on.]

I’m going to put this under a readmore cos it has gotten ridiculously long:

So... without further ado:

1. MORTEN HARKET from a-ha - OKay so, dating myself badly here but... I had the *biggest* crush on Morten Harket when I was a teenager. Pretty much the entirety of my side of the bedroom I shared with my sister was covered in posters of a-ha, and Morten in particular. I even had a heart-shaped Morten Harket pillow! :D I loved a-ha’s music (still do!) and I wanted to go see them in concert when I was 14 but my parents wouldn’t let me (*sob*). I did finally get to see them in concert in the early 2000s and they were BRILLIANT live (and Morten was still very very pretty)! 

2. RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON as MACGYVER - MacGyver is the first tv character I remember being really into and having a crush on, to the extent that I would record episodes of the show off the tv (onto VHS tape - yes, I am *that* old!) so that I could rewatch them (especially the ones where he got hurt - yeah, I was a whumper even then! :D)

3. KEIFER SUTHERLAND - One of my rare exceptions. I think I first saw him in Lost Boys (and loved him in that film) but it was his role as Doc Scurlock in Young Guns that really made me fall for both the character and him. I definitely remember seeking out any and all films he was in and buying any magazine he was interviewed in (and knowing far more facts about him than was probably healthy! :D) and even drawing a fanart portrait of him. :)

4. KYLE MACLACHLAN as SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER - I remember hearing about Twin Peaks before it started airing in the UK and it sounded so different and interesting... I watched it from the very first episode and very quickly developed a crush on Coop.  

5. BRENT SPINER as DATA - I think ST: TNG had been airing for a while before I stumbled across it but I quickly became hooked and Data was my favourite character right from the start. I definitely remember at one point buying an (unofficial) episode guide book so that I could look up which episodes were good Data-focused ones (especially ones where he got hurt! :D) so I could go out and buy the videos that had those episodes on (at the time the show was available to buy on VHS-tape with 2 episodes on each tape).

6. DAVID DUCHOVNY as FOX MULDER - Another show that I heard the buzz about and started watching right from the start and, like so many others, I immediately developed a crush on the snarky, enigmatic, troubled FBI agent with the weird name. The X-Files was the first show I ever tried writing (one, never-finished) fanfic for.

7. PAUL GROSS as BENTON FRASER - Man, Due South was such a good show! It was so quirky and clever and funny and Benton Fraser, with his huge heart and his serious demeanour and his gorgeous blue eyes, was just so darn attractive! He also got whumped a fair bit too! :D Due South was also the show that introduced me to the music of Sarah McLachlan (I was enough of a fan that I bought the show soundtrack on CD).

8. HUGH LAURIE as DR GREGORY HOUSE - This was a bit of an odd one for me because I had grown up knowing Hugh Laurie solely as a comedian/comic actor, known mostly for playing buffoons and genial idiots. And suddenly here he was with stubble, an American accent, and a limp, and he was hawt AF! :D It caused quite the feedback loop in my brain for a while which pretty much went “Wow, House is hot.... but it’s Hugh Laurie... but he’s hot... but it’s HUGH LAURIE!!1!”

I *loved* House (the first few seasons, at least) and oof a character with persistent pain (and a self-destructive streak a mile wide!) was a whumper’s dream. House was the first show for which I wrote - and published online - completed fanfics.

8. JOE FLANIGAN as JOHN SHEPPARD - Stargate Atlantis was my first proper online fandom, the first show I prolifically and repeatedly wrote fanfic for, and the first time I ever met in person an actor I was a big fan of (and while the show was still airing, to boot!). It was also my first introduction to the online community of whumpers! A bunch of us from the Shep Whump thread on Gateworld heard that Joe was going to be at a convention in London and we decided to book hotel rooms and meet up and go to the convention together and it was AWESOME! I can still remember seeing Joe *in person* for the first time and just,,,, struggling to believe he was actually here, in person, in front of me! He was super super lovely and humble too and took time to chat to everyone at the signing table and I clearly remember my brain just pretty much fritzing out during the photo session and being intensely aware of the sensation of Joe’s hand on my shoulder....

It was also super lovely to meet fellow fans, and online friends, in person for the first time and we had so much fun, and it kickstarted me going to lots of other conventions, including specific Stargate/SGA ones where I got to know lots of other lovely fans and online friends. I’ve met Joe about 4 or 5 times in total now and he’s been lovely every time.

9. PAUL BLACKTHORNE as HARRY DRESDEN - Gosh I loved the shortlived tv adaptation of The Dresden Files. I loved the fantasy aspect, the stories, the humour, and I especially loved Harry Dresden and how often he got whumped! :D 

10. DAVID TENNANT as THE 10TH DOCTOR - I had watched the Christopher Ecclestone revival of Doctor Who and enjoyed it well enough but I can clearly remember watching David Tennant’s first episode as The Doctor - on Christmas Day, at my brother-in-law’s house - and being aware, as I watched it that... ooookay, yes, I’m in trouble here... I like him... I like him a lot... :D I mean, I’m sure the fact that he got whumped so thoroughly in his very first episode had nothing to do with how quickly I fell for him... right? :)

11. ALEX O’LAUGHLIN as MICK ST JOHN - Another show that ended far too soon and just as it was getting *seriously* good. But also a prime example of my point about having a crush on the character not the actor. I looooooved Alex as Mick St John... and yet in Hawaii 5.0 he pretty much does nothing for me (the character is too stoic and the whump often too unrealistically glossed over). Anyway, in Moonlight he was my favourite kind of character - angsty, brooding, dangerous AF when he needed to be... and essentially immortal so you could whump the heck out of him and he’d recover so you could whump him again! :D

12. SIMON BAKER as PATRICK JANE - There is so much to love about Patrick Jane... his smarts, his sass, his angst... and Simon is a rare “against type” blonde crush for me (you may have noticed by now that most of my crushes follow a similar physical aesthetic - tall, slim/wiry, and dark-haired) and again here I think my crush is almost all to do with the character rather than the actor.

12. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH as SHERLOCK HOLMES - I’m almost ashamed to admit it, given the clusterfuck that both the show and its fandom became, but in the earlier seasons I had quite the crush on Benedict’s Sherlock (and okay, a little bit on Benedict himself - I did definitely enjoy some of his other roles too). It helps that I was already a huge fan of the Sherlock Holmes character (I’ve read all the stories and novels multiple times and was a big fan of the Granada adaptation starring Jeremy Brett - whose Holmes would definitely count as one of my more minor/passing crushes) already. Benedict is another crush that I have met in person, at a (actually, the first!) Sherlock convention and he was lovely in person - very genuine, very articulate and thoughtful.

13. TOM MISON as ICHABOD CRANE - I was excited for Sleepy Hollow as soon as I heard about it and I was SUCH a fan for the first couple of seasons (before TPTB completely destroyed it and it inevitably got cancelled (I didn’t even watch the last season and a half)) and Tom’s Ichabod (and his amazing chemistry with Nicole’s Abbie) was a large part of why. I also quickly became a big fan of Tom himself as he came across as so witty and self-deprecating and *fun* in all the behind the scenes/convention clips etc. I was lucky enough to also meet Tom at a convention and he genuinely is that witty and charming and lovely.

14. TOM WISDOM as ARCHANGEL MICHAEL - I think Dominion was possibly the first show that I got sucked into by seeing whumpy gifsets on tumblr! :D It was such a great show and also to date the most immersive, welcoming, cast-and-crew-interactive fandom I have ever been in. The cast and crew regularly live-tweeted the episodes, and interacted with fans on Twitter, and it was SO much fun. And Tom’s Michael was my favourite character right from the start - seemingly aloof but so much going on under the surface... and some really nice whump, especially in season 2! I was heartbroken when it was cancelled after only 2 seasons (and just as the plot was getting *really* interesting).

15. OLIVER JACKSON-COHEN as LUCAS - I was hooked on Emerald City right from the first episode. It was visually stunning, so atmospheric, and really intruiging. I love love loved Adria Arjona’s Dorothy (ngl, I had a bit of a crush on her too) and she and Lucas together were just... *chef’s kiss*. I mean... what an introduction to a character... she finds him crucified, bleeding, his wrists tied with barbed wire, and amnesiac.... and the whump only gets better and better from there on in! Like the entire first two episodes are just... Lucas whump! :D And his devotion to her... Emerald City was honestly the first show where I really got into a ship. I was *invested* in Dorcas, dammit! Aaaand sadly another excellent show that never made it past its first season.

16. JASON RALPH as QUENTIN COLDWATER - Another show that I watched right from the start, was heavily invested in.... and that the writers absolutely tanked and destroyed in later seasons. *cries* Quentin was such a brilliant viewpoint character for the show and I loved his awkwardness, and his angst, and his enthusiasm, and his adorable floppy hair... and how often he got whumped! 

17. COLIN MORGAN - I fell for Colin in Merlin (which I stumbled upon late, long after it had finished airing, and hence was able to binge-watch the entire 5 seasons!) and liked him enough to seek out his other works, such as The Fall, and Humans, and The Living and the Dead, and he was brilliant (and very pretty) in all of them... and his characters also seem to get whumped quite a lot! :D 

18. MATT LANTER as WYATT LOGAN - Wyatt was another of my favourite archetypes... absolutely badass and competent... but also tortured and angsty and capable of intense devotion. Another show that I watched because of whumpy gifs on tumblr and the second ever show where I actually got invested in a ship - Lyatt all the way, baby!! :D - aaaaaand yet another show cancelled before its time.

19. NOCTIS LUCIS CAELUM from FINAL FANTASY XV - my very first video game crush! I was recommended to play FFXV by fellow whumpers on the whumpshire discord because it was whumpy... and they were not wrong and I loved the game and I absolutely adored Noctis. FFXV is one of very very VERY few video games that I have actually played right through to the end. And possibly the only video game that has ever affected me to such an extent... I became so invested in the characters and their world and I actually found the last couple of chapters really hard to play because it was actually upsetting me emotionally. I had to take a break for a couple of weeks before I could go back and finish it!

20. CONNOR from DETROIT BECOME HUMAN - and from there I jumped straight into another video game crush! DBH was another game recommended to me for its whump potential and I, and many others, immediately fell in love with the quirky, sassy, self-sacrificing (if you play the game right!) “android sent by Cyberlife”. The game itself is really good too... although, I have tried to play through all the different endings to the story but have never yet managed to make myself play the machine Connor storyline.... I want to complete all the story branches... but I also just want Hank and Connor to be friends and to be happy! :D

21. ZHU YILONG - Ahhh... the beginning of the asian drama arc of my fandom life! I first came across Zhu Yilong after getting sucked into watching Guardian because of pretty (and whumpy) gifs on tumblr... and I’ve never looked back. He is one of the rare entries where I am pretty much guaranteed to like him in pretty much anything he does and my crush extends beyond Shen Wei, or his other characters, and into reblogging his fashion shoot photos, and keeping up with news of his work in general. He’s just... so darn pretty! And also so... blur! :D And the behind the scenes stuff and interviews of him with Bai Yu, during the Guardian era, just made me fall for him all the more. He’s also ridiculously talented - not only a fantastic actor, but a really good singer (I love his singing voice), he plays guitar and piano, and he can paint too!!

He’s also pretty much what made me start learning Chinese... because after Guardian I went seeking his other dramas to watch... only to find that many of them are only partially, or not at all, subbed. So I thought... why not try learning Chinese and then I’ll be able to watch his other shows? :D

21. JI CHANG WOOK - My first kdrama crush, and what a good one to start with! Healer was the first drama I ever watched and can you blame me for falling for JCW... especially when I followed up Healer with The K2?! I’ve liked him in pretty much everything I’ve watched him in. Although I do wish he would go back to doing more action-based shows as he is sooo good at them... but he seems to prefer the romcom genre these days, which is something I am nottt always a fan of tbh.

22. JAKE HSU as MENG SHAO FEI - Yet another show that I got sucked into by tumblr - and also one with a great, fun fandom through which I met lots of lovely people who I still follow/am mutuals with to this day. I just *adored* Jake’s character in History and I also loved the ship - Tang Fan and Meng Shaofei were awesome and adorable together and I was totally invested in both the ship and the gangster/cop/what happened years ago story happening alongside the ship. And Jake is just all kinds of cute.

23. XIAO ZHAN - Aaaand we are pretty much up to current day now... where The Untamed took over my life in the summer of 2019 and has yet to let me go. Xiao Zhan is another disgustingly talented human being - a fantastic singer and a really good actor, and also an artist - and he also just comes across as a genuinely sweet and charming person, and a very thoughful and earnest one too. And lbr he is ridiculously pretty, and his smile is just pure sunshine. 

24. LEE DONG WOOK as LEE YEON - The most recent entry to the charts.... a Korean actor I was aware of but whose work I hadn’t watched and whose looks didn’t particularly seem to grab me... until I watched Tale of the Nine Tailed and fell head over heels for Lee Yeon (and daaayum does red hair suit LDW!!) and very quickly began to find LDW’s looks very appealing (and oh my, does Lee Yeon whump well!!). And yes, I have now started watching Goblin. :D

Phew! Aaaand we are done! I’ll admit, I did think of a few more as I was compiling this list but I decided to categorise them as more “minor” crushes and not include them... otherwise we really could be here all day!!

I’m going to tag: @sarah-yyy​, @arlothia​, @howdydowdy​, @thepromiseweheldforlife​ and @the-wandering-whumper​!
