Pixlriffs esmp s2 backstory HC where he was a student & teacher at an University :)

The College of Archeology, History, and Research was known worldwide as one of the best universities (and also one of the most difficult ones to get into). It was a gigantic university mixed with an archive and research facility, all in one building. When Pix was but a youngster, he dreamt of going to that college. So he was ecstatic when he got accepted basically immediately.

This is also where he met Winchester. The college -their main goal being preserving the past- had taken it upon themselves to hold and look after a family of almost extinct dodos. The dodos had their own area in the courtyard and all students (no matter which course they followed) had classes on how to take care of the creatures.

The family existed out of the two parent dodos, their three daughters, their two sons and.. Winchester.

See, Winchester siblings were very social and always absolutely delighted to see students. Perfect examples of how dodos truly were. Smart, kind, and helpful. Winchester was the complete opposite of what a dodo should be. He was an absolute menace.

He'd scream through the teachers' explanations, bite students and steal people's pens and notebooks. The college didn't quite know what to do with him. After all, getting rid of one of the rarest creatures on earth simply because they were uncooperative would be horrible for their reputation.

But everything changed when Pix joined the university and had his first lesson with the dodos. Because Winchester was obsessed. For the entire duration of the classes, Winchester would just stare at Pix with wide eyes and very silently follow him around the courtyard. Sometimes, when Pix would be standing still and Winchester got brave enough, he'd stand behind Pixl and observe the notes that were being taken.

To this day, no one really knows why Winchester was so mesmerized by Pix. But the college was more than delighted with the news and heavily encouraged Pix to continue attending the Dodo classes, even after the classes had been completed. Pix, although slightly hesitant at first, accepted and continued going. He got a bit more comfortable when being allowed to spend time with the bird alone and eventually they got very close. Pix learned Winchester multiple tricks and eventually, Winchester proved himself to be rather useful during research. He would be more than happy to carry books, retrieve items and chase away the other students if Pix felt like he wanted to have the archive for himself (which was never the case, but Winchester still did it for him with love).

When Pix graduated and applied to the college to become a teacher, he got Winchester appointed to him as his personal assistant. After a couple years, Pix moved on from giving classes to actual field research where he was allowed to take Winchester with him. That's how he ended up in the Ancient Capital :D

There were things...people, feelings that he wanted to experience differently than he had before. Or maybe even for the first time

Oak Statuette of the Goddess Epona from Winchester, England dated to the 1st Century CE on display at the Winchester City Museum in Winchester, England

This small statue is thought to be the Gallo-Roman goddess Epona who was a protector of horses and goddess of fertility. While Epona's origins are from Celtic peoples the goddess proved to be very popular amongst the cavalry regiments in the Roman army. She was the sole Celtic diety worshipped in the city of Rome due to this.

Did my (other) civic duty and rewatched Despair.

Richard Speight Jr I’m in your walls for the shot of Dean dropping the phone where Sam is calling. The whole world is gone and it doesn’t matter cause Dean’s world ended when Cas got dragged away for loving him

[syn4k]

had a bad day so i made this as a reminder to myself

[sleepyeepy]

do you think cas felt it when jimmy died ? how long did it take for him to realize the weight in the back of his being had disappeared ? or was it gradual.. did cas feel jimmy dying ? this light of faith and loyalty blinking and fading out , overwhelmed by inhuman grace for just a little too long ? does cas feel lighter after jimmys death , no longer sharing a home in his body ? or is the absence returned tenfold with a guilt so intense it takes everything in cas not to buckle under it ? how does cas mourn him once he realizes what has happened ? does he ignore it , the pain too much and he too busy ? does he take a page out of the winchester book of grief and drink himself silly (ridding an entire town of liquor for a week) ? or does he try and do his best to give jimmy a proper funeral. a handmade headstone in a flower field out in the middle of nowhere reading ‘in fond memory’. what about heaven ? does cas visit jimmy to beg for forgiveness ? do you think that cas did everything in his power to make up for this one transgression by making jimmys heaven a work of art tailored to relieve an innocently devout man of the tragedy he’s faced. do you think that jimmy , with time , learns to have faith again ? from heaven does he watch cas try to protect claire and realize that maybe things will be okay ? does he see cas’ unyielding love for jack and think to himself that he might have played a hand in that love , that cas holds onto the parental love he saw in jimmy and use that as a foundation for his own ? do you think cas is grateful for jimmy , knowing that his first experience with humanity made him into the man he became ?

DOES ANYONE THINK OF JIMMY AS MUCH AS I DO ? NO ? OKAY THATS COOL

My Roman empire is Supernatural. I will never stop thinking about it. I will never shut up about it. It defined me any ways that no other show could. I will always go back to it. I hate it but I also love it.

[soullessjack]

actually i think Jack’s whole psychotic meltdown after killing Mary makes a lot more sense when you remember that this was one of his worst fears:

i don’t have the exact scripts but suffice it to say, this is not the first time michael has insinuated that jack is his only equal/match/rival in terms of power, and it’s also not the first time he’s insinuated that jack would simply outgrow his sense of humanity and turn on everyone that he’s claimed as family; the fact that jack is even human to begin with is more or less a glitch in the system to all other angels. it’s “just a phase.”

and then on Jack’s response, all it says is that he doesn’t want to admit it could be possible. i feel like in most other scenarios like this, where the Hero has some connection to the Villain that’s used against them, the Hero usually just dispels the Villain’s claim of connection with some easy shit like “you’re wrong! i have confidence in myself to stay by my friend’s sides forever!” the villain is then defeated and the hero’s connection to them (and all that implies) is never brought up again. but here, with jack and michael, jack is clearly doubtful of his own humanity—I mean, he has been for a while, he’s just afraid to admit it to anyone because it holds too much risk of losing everyone he cares about.

jack has pretty much dedicated his life to proving that he isn’t evil, that he is trustworthy and safe and that he isn’t like Lucifer. however, while he and Mary are in apocalypse world you also get the sense that he now has to prove he isn’t like Michael—despite them being equals. but his dedication and determination are very much rooted in/responsive to fear, not just of losing everyone he loves, but for his True Nature to ultimately be evil and of his father.

so, of course killing his mother figure causes jack to spiral out of control and into psychosis, because he hardly understands what’s happened—he’s literally debating whether or not he intended to kill Mary while at Rowena’s flat—and he’s very jarringly faced with the potential reality that he had finally lost humanity and turned on everyone just as Michael had said.

and despite his literal subconscious telling jack that he’s as good as fucked, he can’t come back from this and he can’t call the Winchesters or the Bunker his home ever again, he obsessively tries to fix it and desperately denies that he could have actually wanted Mary dead or intentionally hurt her (remember he tells Rowena he just wanted her to “be quiet”) because how is he ever supposed to be seen as trustworthy again after possibly-deliberately hurting Mary (and later with Duma, the “nonbelievers”) when the entire reason he wasn’t trusted to begin with was the fact that everybody saw him as something dangerous/truly evil and merely choosing not to act on his true nature, and now if he can’t fix it, then he’s inevitably back in the pigeonhole of a dangerous monster, and Michael was right.
