[postmodernmulticoloredcloak]

What about Jensen body language before the fallout though? I'm a new fan, pls tell me more?

Alright, disclaimer: I'm not a scientifically accurate watcher of cons, I barely watch con videos because i have the attention span of a fungus, i have auditory processing issues+I'm not a native english speaker so i understand shit of what they say without transcripts or subtitles, but i do exist on tumblr and have seen snippets, gifsets, and I did watch an entire (or at least a good part of it, idk) j2 panel once for some reason I don't remember rn, and that was really the time where I got stuck with the most clarity of how wildly different Jensen's body language in j2 panels was to other panels that i'm more familiar with because we gif them more or simply talk about them more.

I don't want to sound like I Know(TM) Jensen or have special access to his mind, so please keep in mind that this is basically my theory based on how I perceive the little I see of him, but this said - my impression is that Jensen was uncomfortable in Sunday j2 panels, long before the post-finale fallout with Jared. Jensen and Jared usually stand up in front of the audience and answer questions, and Jensen looks stiff and, well, like he's not enjoying himself. I'm used to seeing a million snippets and gifs and pictures of him in panels with Misha or others, and he's relaxed and cheerful. When asked questions in the j2 panel sometimes he looks downright defensive.

Oh, right *facepalm* I just remembered that I watched that j2 panel because someone asked Jensen a Destiel-related question (with the word Destiel in it) and Jensen basically snapped and shut the question down and it was uncomfortable to watch because he was obviously not comfortable with the entire thing. The audience in j2 panels is NOT a Destiel-friendly audience in general. (Of course there's going to be exceptions in the crowd but as a crowd, the alignment is not pro-Destiel, alright?) While the audience in Cockles panels is obviously a pro-Cas, pro-Destiel crowd. Pick some Jibcon videos, j2 panel and Cockles panel from the same jibcon if you want, and compare the atmosphere and body language of the two. I think you'll notice a difference.

Now, Jensen is not comfortable with interacting with fans like this, in general. His solo panels can get uncomfortable for him at times (at least once that I remember Misha went to support him during a solo panel because he was clearly nervous). His levels of comfort obviously depend on whether someone is with him, and who, and also on the audience he's facing. Again, the audience of a j2 panel is not the same audience in a Cockles panel. I think the difference in Jensen's comfort levels comes both from whom he is with, and the crowd.

I'm aware I'm not saying anything substantial but... just have a look at old panels. Compare j2 panels and non-j2 panels. I think that the difference is pretty noticeable. I'm not surprised at all that j2 panels spew drama and negativity because that's the norm. Now this is my theory but I'm pretty sure that Jensen needs to go with the wishes of the crowd (that's what he's paid for, entertaining his audience, right?) and he doesn't like it when it's a j2 crowd.

Take all of this with a fuckton of grains of salt because I don't have a magical access to Jensen Ackles' brain but... I don't think the guy's ever been particularly relaxed and happy in j2 panels, because j2 panels lean Jared fans/J2 fans/brothers-only fans, and they're basically Jared's kingdom, not his. He's comfy when he has a pro-Misha crowd in front of him.

As an old fan the J2 fallout is coming like the least surprising thing ever because Jensen might have played along the marketing strategy ~the amazing J2, brothers in the story and in real life!!~ thing all this time because it was literally his job, but I think that he's grown apart from the Jared side of things a long time ago and has been personally feeling a lot closer to the Misha side of things. By side of things I mean both the person and the fandom that aggregates around the person.

The difference now is that he seems less inclined to keep up the ~brothers in real life!!~ act (look at the various 'oh my brother' tweets he's made recently, they sound so authentic and genuine like he put negative amounf of effort in sounding genuine), probably because a) the divide between him and Jared is getting wider, b) he literally doesn't work every single day of his life with the guy anymore, so he has no reason to avoid conflict that would destroy his daily life.

It's still his job to do j2 panels, so he'll do that job, but he'll also storm off when it's over. I ain't watching the panel video, but apparently Jared acted really inappropriately (getting involved in a question that wasn't for him and didn't have anything to do with him and derailing Jensen's answer bringing it into a direction Jensen wasn't going) and Jensen liked it even less that he usually likes doing a j2 panel. I'm not surprised. I think the finale just exacerbated things there.

I hope I answered your question!

[deep-slept]

You know what's funny?

That I come back with this ship re-energized. Why? well Let me tell you: Personal feelings undercut

Every time, in all my years as a fan, I've seen some posts or things that makes me doubt or that speaks ill of one another, something will come in and WHAMO! new info or pic comes in and that contradicts it.

I was disconnected from the fandom since 2015 after giving up hope on destiel and cockles' romantic friendship.

But let me tell ya somethin';

an*** would say: "He dislikes Misha in real life" - I believed it, can't say Misha was well-mannered sometimes and he did somethings that...weeeren't a good idea but ( after some fan vids and JIB10 )

I was like "seems like it" and I believed those stories.

Then this happens:

I'm...in shock.

Going through that mindset I was like:

(why why why why would he post this???? )

(Wasn't he uncomfortable with him?)

(why are your chest so close together? the hell? who does that?)

I was happy, but still doubtful (maybe misha told him to take the pic)

THEN Then... THIS:

uh...

...Why would you post about your friendship anniversary of ten years with Misha? why not with...J*red? who does that? wasn't J*red your friend first?

THAT post made me very happy but melancholic because I knew at the time that SPN was going to an end this friendship would fade.

Then November 5th 2020...

Twitter expoded, Tumblr exploded! CHAOS

The confession I was waiting all my high school & college years to happen , happened.

I WAS IN DISBELIEF

I wouldn't have EVER thought Jensen led this happen, the cast let this happen, the PRODUCTION!!!

Cas was able to say his piece.

But then again I thought, still skeptical;

"Well, now Jensen can be in peace with all this"

After all has settled down, I was doing my own things (work, hangouts, a bit of gossip from local news) when on June, I stumbled upon a pic on Instagram;

Jensen...what's wrong? coping with shit? what does that mean?

In the comments I see someone asking :

-"hey, you good?"

Someone replies: "J2 breakup"

huh?

Breakup??? that's impossible!

I thought

And what place can I lookup that would have this info on the matter?

Tumblr.

I couldn't believe I had to reactivate my old 2015 account for this but I have to find out what was going on.

And it did not disappoint:

Jensen and Daneel announced with their production studio Chaos Machine a new Supernatural Prequel.

J*red didn't know about it....

Oh dear....

I didn't expect him to react that way...

To be honest I was surprised.(I know some fans can differ)

But my Lord, more CHAOS ensued.

Fans were pissed for various reasons

(Why a story of John [that asshole], Jensen not letting J*red know etc.) J2 fans were sad (understandably) but also LIVID!

They (allegedly) even went to Misha's publisher and said nasty things about him in *checks notes* Retaliation?

the fuck? what did he had to do with any of this?

seeing this while sitting down chowing on some food.

(deep down I was happy an*** got their little bubble bursted into flames)

Well that's it for me.

-I thought.

The next day, SPN is trending on tumblr. Again. And I couldn't believe what I saw:

....

Misha was staying in Jensen's.... apartment?

My world stopped at that moment...

My heart and mind exploded in delight!

The serotonin levels were SKY HIGH!!!

After all these years.....their friendship was real...

I wouldn't believe it.

After this, I searched for all the last details and theories about them. And those started to finally make more sense.

Everything was falling into place.

And I was really happy for them.

Regardless if their friendship is beyond that or not, I'm just glad it exists because thanks to that chemistry and companionship they helped thousands of fans and people in their lives.

And I'm forever living happily in this cockles dumpster.

💙💚

Feel free not to answer I just wanted to say I think the whole approach to "season 16" is very much so an age thing. I PROMISE that's not me calling you old lol I just mean a lot of people who are super into it are in their late teens/early 20s and a lot of the people who are super not into it are late twenties/thirties/whatever. I say this as someone in their early twenties having a blast. I think it might have something to do with how fandom/the ways fans interact with the works is evolving, like me and a bunch of us were on spn tumblr as 13/14/15-year-olds and grew up with that old tumblr energy that invited this sort of mania, whereas people who were older at the time or had been in other fandom spaces before didn't really participate in that. I think a lot of us are very self aware and "tinhat" because it's legitimately fun for us. I'm not criticizing you at all because I totally get what you're feeling, your posts on it just made me think a lot about this.

No, this is great! I am definitely from a different generation of fans - and I’ve noticed a divide in age as well. I guess I’m just curious how people have the energy? Or is it that things aren’t taken so personally?

For context: when I started in fandom, it was something that had an element of seriousness and responsibility because it had to be - it wasn’t something talked about, and you didn’t flaunt yourself because you didn’t want to drawn attention to yourself or the community for legitimate fear of getting your shit taken down and being slapped with a lawsuit. I started at the very, very end of that, and because it was hard to find, and because there was community responsibility involved, there was a code of conduct that had to be learned and adhered to. So like, being a fan is serious to me, and it’s an important part of my identity.

I have been in SPN fandom for the better part of a decade, and on tumblr for longer than that. So I know that energy! It’s great! I just feel that it’s shifted from motivating fanworks to encouraging this weird grief spiral, where everyone constantly seems to be angry and upset, and then couch those emotions in social justice in order to legitimize them - when, to my mind, feeling them should be legitimizing enough! Fucking revel in your emotions, this is a space built to process them, specifically. We made a space for ourselves to do that.

I guess I feel like a lot of engagement in fandom just feels very high stakes now, when it used to be this really nice, low-stakes environment way more conducive to relaxation. Sure, there would be serious drama that would kick up every now and then, but it was never sustained like this. I saw posts of people who seemed to be legitimately upset there was no new drama from the KoC podcast - and I’m confused, because before 15x18, drama was something we all generally agreed to try and avoid. Or at least, we knew exactly who was wont to create it and steered clear if that wasn’t our thing.

But this is everywhere. I’m not kidding; I have probably unfollowed more people than I ever have because I’m trying to get my dash somewhere back to normal and nothing is working. Almost every other post across my dash involves some kind of academic theory or willingly buys into network conspiracy--Jensen’s silence is sexy, but given the atmosphere in the fandom right now, is anyone actually surprised he or Misha haven’t spoken up? No one knows what their NDAs look like, and if it were me, I’d keep my trap shut out of sheer self-preservation. 

And like, I love tinhatting. I have been cockles a cockles tinhatter for a long-ass time and I enjoy the hell out of it. But - and I’m definitely gonna sound old here - I feel like there’s an element of respect, not only for the cast, but honestly, mostly for the community at large, that seems to have been obliterated in the SPN renaissance. I think that because lots of young folks grew up at a time where fandom was generally widely accepted, and now are being catered to, and they have forgotten that this is an actual community, and that what one person does reflects on all of us. Tagging the cast in shippy posts? A big no-no. Because I can tell you right now that the person you’re tagging might see your username and think of you as an individual, but you are part of a community that has been Perceived for a long-time, and your behaviour reflects on alllllll of us. 

And last thing, I swear, but like. The posts. The posts that just say the same thing in different words: from different blogs, from the same blogs, all with this air of manic self-importance that ratchets my anxiety up to 11.... what is with that??? These things rack up hundreds of notes and I am mystified because not only have we covered this years ago, we covered this last week and the post is dated 30mins ago. There’s this obsession with being right and finding the truth and being smart and just rehashing that over and over and it’s exhausting to me. 

And I know I am currently coming off as an old fart who’s complaining about young people and screaming get off my lawn but I am genuinely curious: Is it that I just take things very personally? Is it that everything rolls off you loyal s16 followers? How the hell do you have the energy for this? Don’t you want to process your grief? Are you grieving? How do you interact with works? Like, how, from your perspective, is that changing? 

These are legitimate questions, and this was very long, so if you’re reading this I’m sorry.

My Fic Readers are Making Me EMOTIONAL - Let's Play a Game!

HOLY FRICKING SHIT DUDES [gender neutral]!

I LOGGED ON TO AO3 TODAY AND MY FIC HAS 300 FUCKIN KUDOS

I am not only surprised but also EMOTIONAL

But don't worry, they're good feelings

Anyway, I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Your support is just the coolest and you're the nicest folks. I can't believe you all have supported me so much. I know to some AO3 folks, 300 is nothing, but it is 300 more than I expected and it warms the cockles of even my wicked, bitter heart. 😉

To celebrate, I was thinking we could start a reblog game sharing our other favorite fics and authors! If you're a fellow fic writer, link your own work you're proudest of PLUS one of your favorite fics from another author that has LESS THAN 300 KUDOS! That way we can give them some extra love! If you aren't a writer, link your top two AO3 fics with less than 300 kudos! Any fandom.

My fic: How Long? by MinxyOne93 on AO3 - Destiel smut/fluff, long WIP fic

Summary: "Dean has been going on reckless hunts by himself. Cas confronts him and all those years of unresolved pining come to a boiling point.

____________________________________

"Dean. How long?" The angel said, still quiet but so raw with emotion, eyes still wide with shock.

Dean looked down at the floor and sighed. "Since... always. I knew it for sure in Purgatory. But always." He then added in a near whisper, tears threatening to spill from behind his now closed eyelids, "I'm sorry, Cas."

"Sorry? You're sorry?" Castiel felt dumbfounded. The constant loneliness and longing he had sensed from Dean that seemed to grow worse and worse with the passing of years made so much more sense now.

"Dean," was all Cas could say before releasing his grip on his collar and gently, slowly, deliberately, kissing the corner of his mouth. A shocked gasp left Dean’s mouth of its own accord and he melted into Castiel's tight embrace."

One of my favorites by another author: If Love is What You Need by Felurian1

Summary: "Cas gets a little dinged up on a hunt, nothing too major, but enough that Dean’s carefully patching the angel up in the back seat of the Impala.

And then it hits him that he loves Cas, and not in the same way as he loves Sam. That he has for years, and he’s going to lose the angel if he doesn’t make a move.

Cas is all, respectfully, kindly, finally.

But Dean is wary of how to touch Cas, and his injuries prevent them from being too energetic."

I was going to link some of my writer buddies' works here in tumblr, but I thought I might tag them here to participate themselves and kick this thing off - I'm excited to see which of their works they are most proud of too!

You Made It

The Profound Bond and How Dean could rescue Cas from the Empty

Destiel meta. 15x09 meta. Meta Spec.

Hello my friends! Okay I just had to write this mini meta, walking through the Profound Bond because I really believe, as I believed in season 14, it will be pivotal for the Empty plot and my spec.

First of all, I will need you to read this meta here

Because I talk about the Profound Bond as an link of energy between Cas and Dean.

Now that you are ready, let's began...

Recalling Dean and Cas share a profound bond

Since 6x03, marvelously written by Edlund, we know about this profound union...

Gif by my friend @agusvedder

But I just want you to keep in mind that grimace Dean does... Like .. he had not idea of what is Cas talking about...

Now... We know how many times this bond had been put in danger... Right?

Cain's mark, Amara, AUMichael...

Talking about Amara briefly, she was able to connect with Dean through the bond Dean and Castiel share... Yeah... I'm talking about this scene...

Gif by @subcas

As I explained in the meta I linked at the beginning of this analysis, there's an energy, powerful, union between Dean and Cas. Unbreakable.

When season 14 just started, I was talking a lot about Profound Bond, even before the season started, because that season talked about it, and the first episode, we had one demon reminding us... Cas and Dean share a profound bond.

"I thought the two of you were joined at the... Well... Everything."

Why we should recall that?? Because is very VERY important... Then... There was a scene that caught my attention, and I talked a lot about it... This one...

He talks about Anael as if she was Cas, and Anael was so surprised, because that appreciation wasn't accurate.

So... Why Michael made this mistake?

My theory was because he couldn't complete the bond with Dean, again because Dean is bonded with Castiel. So Michael couldn't have access to the more repressed feelings from Dean, just like Qareen couldn't, remember?

"I see the love that is inside you, but is cockled in shame."

Now... This scene was a recalling to the Destiel Profound Bond too...

Gif by @jensenackles-daily

Okay... Now that I said this... Let's see my point...

The profound bond could be pivotal for Dean rescuing Cas from the Empty

And here is the Destiel meta I wrote where I mentioned how we had be blessed with the Profound Bond in episode 15x09.

But basically... Is this...

Another gif from @agusvedder

And I explained in my meta this... Why is Cas saying YOU MADE IT?

Because Dean followed this profound union they had. Dean followed it without knowing, but Castiel is sure about it. Just like in episode 6 x03... And Dean is ignoring again what is Castiel talking about I MADE IT?

So I truly believe Dean found Castiel through their bond, and Cas was saying YOU MADE IT, YOU FOUND ME BECAUSE WE ARE BONDED.

After Dean recognized he was wrong and asked for forgiveness, the bond got strong again, and through that link, that longing, he was able to find Cas.

Why is this so important? Because this profound bond, always in risk and facing enemies who wanted to break it, is here not just because they love each other strongly but... Because they would use it to find each other, always...

And in my spec of the Empty, that won't be different.

I truly believe IF my spec happens, that Dean will find Castiel in the Empty through their bond. But he needs to acknowledge that to use it. So Dean finding Cas in Purgatory is a foreshadow of Dean finding Cas in the Empty. And because I always talked about dark forest representing the Empty, this time This Purgatory forest could be the Empty too.

Just like they showed us with the Destiel dark mirror Nick/Lucifer.

Nick woke Lucifer in the Empty using their bond, and then he found him through a portal.

So... Let's see what happens...

To Conclude:

This is just an addition to my spec about Dean rescuing Castiel from the Empty, using the Profound Bond, and is so romantic that I just can't deal with it... If this doesn't happen, we can always read fics about it. Right? I already wrote one, because I want it so bad I had to 🤣🤣🤣.

Kisses my friends! See you later!

[destieldrabblesdaily]

hello there (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I'm pretty new to destiel and just found your blog because I wanted to look into some fanfics and someone recommended & turns that you have like a billion one shots for destiel! love your writing style but, I'm not sure where to start in your drabbles tag because it's soooo much (ﾟдﾟ) can u maybe point me to some popular ones or some that you preferred writing or something like that to get me started? thank you anyway (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ✿

Hey friend! 

Ahh, I totally get you. :p A billion is a bit ambitious, but with like 400 stories in one tag and no way to sort, it might get tricky. *sweats nervously for not having a better tagging system*

But anyway, you rock for finding my blog and liking my style, so here is a little something to help you out! For starters, a lot of my stories are also on AO3, which is still a realm of chaos, but is a hell of a lot easier to navigate than my tumblr tag. 

Anyway, here is a little map to get you started, sorted by my most popular Destiel fics (according to AO3), and ones I personally just loved writing!

—

Canon!Verse fics, most popular:

1) CursedTeam Free Will is hunting a witch, but before she dies she turns Cas into a kitten. They can’t find a cure, and after two weeks everyone is losing hope. One night when Cas is sleeping on Dean’s chest, the curse fades and he turns into himself again. As Dean’s luck would have it, Sam walks into the living room seeing Dean sprawled out on the couch with a very naked Castiel on top of him.

2) JealousyWhen Dean, Sam and Castiel are having a drink at a bar after a hunt, Dean finds Cas flirting with a guy, and suddenly realizes something about his own feelings for the angel… 

3) Dream A Little DreamCastiel goes after a Djinn but gets captured, and of course his dream world is all about Dean and him being happy together, so he’s very disappointed when Dean and Sam save him and he wakes up… 

4) With A Little Help From My FriendDean is really nervous about finally telling Castiel how he feels, so he practices over Skype with Charlie. Naturally, Cas chooses that exact moment to drop by, and ends up hearing the whole thing…

5) WhiteboardFor a while now, there has been a whiteboard in Dean’s room. When failing to say the words out loud, there’s always the option to write them down. So that’s exactly what Castiel suggests, and Dean humors him, the two of them finding new ways to understand and forgive each other by working through some issues from both the present and the past.

—

Soulmate AU’s, most popular:

1) What Can’t Be SeenSoulmate AU where you first see color after eye contact: Cas is a famous best selling author and he’s promoting his book, so he’s talking to a crowd of people and suddenly his world is in color, and a lot of his fans pretend to be his soulmate. A Cinderella type situation ensues.

2) The PendantAU where instead of a tattoo/name everyone’s born with a pendant/charm necklace that matches their soulmate’s. Dean walks into their bathroom thinking it’s empty, but there’s Cas taking off his shirt to take a shower and Dean sees his necklace (that matches Dean’s, obviously) and freaks out (because Dean is totally 100% NOT gay at all). Bonus if Cas already knows.

3) Daffodils & Forget-Me-NotsSoulmate AU where when you write something on your skin with pen/marker/whatever the hell you want, it will show up on your soulmate’s skin as well.

—

High School AU’s, most popular:

1) No HomoFor the prompt: ‘I wasn’t gay, but then I kissed you in front of some homophobes to piss them off, and turns out I might be kinda gay for you after all’. In which a kiss makes Dean realize that he has feelings for his best friend.

2) This Game We PlayDean and Castiel have been best friends since they were little, and sleepovers are a common event. They’ve always loved playing the game where they draw out letters on each others backs and try to guess what the other is writing. Even though sixteen seems to be a bit too old to still play the game, Castiel uses it as a chance to silently confess something that he’s been wanting to share with Dean for a long time.

3) Camping and CuddlesDean and Castiel have been best friends since forever, and they decide to go on a camping trip to celebrate graduating high school. When it starts raining and Cas’ tent turns out to have a huge hole in it, the boys are forced to share Dean’s tent, and things heat up.

4) The CallCastiel accidentally butt dials his best friend Dean, and Dean overhears a conversation that wasn’t meant for his ears. Or: the one in which Dean finds out that his best friend has feelings for him.

5) Practice Makes Perfect‘It’s not gay if it’s practice, but shit that was actually really nice wanna practice some more?’ Or, the one in which Dean offers to help his best friend Cas improve his kissing skills, until it’s no longer just ‘practice’. 

(If you are particularly into High School AU’s, I also made a complete list of al my HS AU’s that you can find here –> Click!

—

College/Roommate AU’s, most popular:

1) What It MeansDean’s roommate and best friend Castiel always says ‘I love you’ to him every night before they go to sleep. Seeing as Dean has some serious feelings for his friend, he can’t take the confusion any longer and one night asks Cas what it means when he says ‘I love you’. 

2) If At First You Don’t SucceedFor the prompt: “Wait, did you just flirt with me?“ “Have been for the past year, but thanks for noticing.

”Dean has a huge crush on his friend Castiel, with whom he also shares an apartment. When he decides that he finally wants to woo Cas, everything that could possibly go wrong, does indeed go wrong.

3) UnbrokenDean’s best friend and roommate Castiel is asexual, and it’s causing Cas a lot of trouble when it comes to dating. Cas feels broken, but Dean deeply disagrees; he’d be with Cas in a heartbeat, if only Cas would see him as more than a friend… 

4) Safe And SoundFor the prompt: ‘College!AU where Dean and Cas are roommates and one of them is afraid of thunder, so naturally they have to huddle/cuddle together until the storm is over.’

5) Hot & ColdDean and his best friend Castiel get stuck in the middle of nowhere when the Impala’s engine gives up on them. A snowstorm is raging, and it seems that the only way to keep warm is a method that sounds a lot like ‘naked cuddling’. Not that Dean is complaining.

—

Blind/Deaf AU’s, most popular:

1) Through Your EyesDean’s best friend Castiel is blind, which is why Cas loves it whenever Dean describes the things as he sees them. When Castiel gets curious and wants more details about Dean’s looks, Dean is reluctant to go into detail about them. Castiel’s solution is simple, and demands nothing more than a gentle touch.

2) At First SightDean has been blind since he was four years old, but at 18 years old he regains his sight through special surgery. This also means that he will finally be able to actually see his boyfriend Castiel for the first time. Castiel is excited, but at the same time utterly terrified that Dean won’t approve of his looks…

3) MisunderstandingsWhen the handsome new student Castiel Novak arrives at Lawrence High, Dean has every intention of making him feel welcome. However, Castiel seems to ignore Dean whenever Dean tries to talk to him…

4) DeliciousImagine your OTP, based on this text post: ‘Okay, so I’m a waitress at this restaurant that’s open really late and it’s nearly 1am and this family comes in and I’m so tired that I handed their BLIND SON a menu and he’s like “ah… thank you… I’ll just… read this” in a serious voice and I fucking snorted.'With blind!Dean and waiter!Cas.

—

Personal favorites to write:

1) Her Favorite Love StoryThe story of Dean and Castiel as seen through Mary Winchester’s eyes; AKA how she witnesses her oldest son fall in love with his best friend. 

2) The MatchmakerBased on this prompt: “My cat keeps breaking into your apartment next to mine, so I tied a note to its collar to apologize, and you write back. We keep exchanging cat notes, and you turn out to be pretty cute.” 

3) WingsWhen ten year old Dean Winchester and his family move to a new town, he becomes best friends with the boy next door, who happens to be an actual angel. Dean is fascinated with Castiel’s wings from the start, however when they get older, Cas suddenly starts hiding them and no longer wants Dean to groom them for him.

4) BlackboardsFor the prompt: 'Dean and Cas are both high school teachers, and they leave each other cute notes on each others’ black boards.’

5) To Date a DickCas is out on a date with a complete and utter asshole in a really nice restaurant, and Dean is their waiter who feels the need to intervene.

Might of the Manticore

(Or how a dead Witcher meets a very weird bard)

- - -

No Witcher has died in his bed.

A common saying amongst Witchers of all Schools and all walks of life. They grow up hearing it, they walk the Path spouting it, and they die knowing it as an indisputable fact. No Witcher has died in his bed.

Well. Except for the rare unlucky bastard who didn't hear danger coming while he slept, or made the mistake of trusting the wrong warm body in his bed, but that was beside the point.

A Witcher typically died fighting, be it monster or man, they died with sword in hand.

Except for the depressingly common ones who did what they were hired to do, and were paid in betrayal.

He'd ventured into Novigrad for a day or two of rest after several hard months straight on the Path, coin purse heavy with the spoils of his latest contract. He'd yearned for a hot bath in safety instead of a quick wash in a cold stream. He'd craved fresh baked bread and succulent roasted meats instead of dry trail mix and whatever skinny woodland critter he'd managed to burn over a campfire. He'd wanted to quench his parched throat with a good, sweet mead instead of the swill he managed to barter off backwater merchants at exorbitant prices.

All he'd wanted was a gods be damned break. But no. No, he'd had to go and fall for a few tears from a pretty face and a sob story about a creature making off with a spouse in the dead of night. What was this one last small job before he kicked back and recouped for a few days?

One very dead feral Bruxa and an unfortunately expired husband later he'd returned to break the news to the teary eyed client, only to be met with a small army of gods be damned City Guard and a noose. Disturbing the peace they said. Violent and disorderly conduct within city walls they said. What a load of Chort shit. A Witcher kills a dangerous monster when hired to and suddenly he's a menace to society. He wished he was surprised.

At least they didn't put him on a fucking pyre.

They hung him in the Square, and as he choked, his wild eyes had picked out a smug, pretty face in the jeering crowd. His last thought was that he should have just taken that fucking bath.

His next, upon coming too below his own swinging boots, was that no one had ever said anything about sticking around.

After that, he spent some time trying to figure out what had happened. Had he been cursed? Was he unconsciously pissed enough at this injustice to come back as a Penitent? A Wraith?

No to all of the above, as it turned out. He seemed to simply be. A wandering soul? An echo? Bah, who even cared anymore, it's not like he was obligated to do anything about it.

Honestly though. Who'd ever heard of a dead Witcher haunting a city? Certainly not him, and if his brothers ever had they'd not shared it with him in the times they'd Wintered together at the Den.

And he was. Haunting it, that is. He'd quickly discovered that he could affect the world around him to a small degree. Disappointingly small, actually. His 'ghostly powers' were embarrassingly impotent most days, and so he was limited to decidedly petty acts of revenge. Not that he let that stop him.

He'd started with the pretty face that had led to his unfortunate demise. Her confusion and eventual anxiety at the seemingly random displacement of various items in her abode will forever warm the cockles of his black little ghost heart.

The toad in the lavatory was rather inspired, he'd admit.

It didn't take long at all for her to run shrieking from the house, claiming it haunted by demons to whoever would listen. Smug, he'd eventually moved on from his petty revenge before her panicked ramblings attracted something to worry about. Like a Mage. Or a Witcher.

He rather thought that last one would be the height of irony. He'd almost hung around just for that.

Once he'd left to wander the city, he learned very quickly that he wasn't the only one to wander after death. Humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and one memorable Higher Vampire of all things. They roamed as he did, some seemingly unaffected or simply used to their plight, and others maudlin or mad. The mad ones he steered clear of, especially after he'd born witness to one of them violently changing into a fucking Wraith.

He'd tried talking to some of the stable ones, but he'd been dismayed to find that no matter what he said, or how loudly he said it, they never seemed to hear him. Most of them, he thought, couldn't even see him, their glazed eyes simply passing right over him like he wasn't even there. The ones that did see him usually turned and beat a hasty retreat, which was just rude, he may be a Witcher but he wasn't exactly working anymore, he was very clearly very much dead.

It grew very boring, very quickly after that. Time apparently moved differently in this strange state of limbo; he'd glanced at a notice board out of habit one day and noticed the date on one of the newer listings. He'd been dead for three years, and he hadn't even noticed. He hadn't known how to feel about that.

He'd missed three winters. He wondered if his remaining brothers had noted his absence and come to the correct conclusion. He wondered if they'd mourned him.

He passed his days wandering Novigrad, curiosity and boredom driving him to nose around homes, eavesdrop on conversations and exercise his right to haunt the place.

It was one such day spent shamelessly bouncing small stones off passing city guards helmets that something unusual happened.

A commotion in the tavern he was leaning on drew his attention, and just as he was about to write it off as the usual rowdiness of drunks, the doors were flung open and out was tossed a young man, swiftly followed by a lute, which all but brained the poor bastard on decent. A bard then, and likely a terrible one judging by that rather unceremonious exit.

The bard tossing barkeep spat a few derogatory remarks at the moaning heap of long limbs sprawled on the ground, declared his presence no longer welcome in his fine establishment, swore that if the bard ever touched his niece again certain parts of his anatomy would be severed, and slammed the door shut.

"Tough break, kid." He snorted, paused, took aim, and let loose another stone. The copper sized pebble bounced off a passing guards helmet with a satisfying ping, much to its owners indignity as he whirled around to squint after the perpetrator, only to frown in bewilderment upon finding none. Shrugging, the guard continued on his way. He snorted again- he'd probably have to move on from this street soon; some of them were starting to wise up.

"I'm certainly no expert on the matter, but I do believe that's a very good way to get yourself a cozy corner in the local dungeon."

Maybe he'd pay that vampire a visit today. The man was one of the depressingly few souls who didn't immediately flee at the sight of him. They couldn't hear each other, unfortunately, but they could certainly play a rousing game of charades.

"Well that's just rude. I'm not unfamiliar with poor reviews for the quality of my voice, but I'll say I've never had someone quite so blatantly ignore an attempt at simple conversation before."

Actually, hadn't the vampire hinted at departing the city last time they'd entertained each other with increasingly amusing and sometimes lewd gestures? Shit. He was going to miss that leech.

"Sweet Melitele, you're a Witcher!"

What, where?!

Abruptly abandoning his thoughts, he looked over to see who had made the surprised and unusually gleeful declaration to better track the target of it, only to be met with the unfortunate bard.

Who was staring at him with big, soulful blue eyes. At him. Right at him.

"What." The hell. Surprise apparently rendered him monosyllabic. The bard popped his hands on his hips, quirked a finely sculpted brow and said-

"You truly didn't hear a word I just said, did you? Unbelievable."

Overwhelmed and entirely too confused, he opened his mouth and squeaked-

"I'm… sorry?" Might of the Manticore, hear me roar. Death had ruined him.

[tarthserjaime]

Perspective from an old-timer, c. 2008 dean/cas shipper and part of the old guard in early d/c fandom started on LiveJournal:

I left the show and fandom after season 12, which I only binge watched at the end of the season. I started shipping dean/cas in episode 4x01. I am a Cas girl. I love dean. I also love team free will (1.0, don't know jack well enough to love 2.0) and my heart expands anytime it's the three of them together. Just so you know where my loyalties lie.

I have been in another fandom with another otp* since then, but kept vague track of cas and dean/cas via tumblr osmosis. On Nov 5th I was glued to twitter watching for election results along with the rest of the country, when the events of that night started unfolding immediately upon the confession airing.

So I was one of the ones catfished (casfished?) back into the show, fandom, and the ship of my heart for 9 years before I fell into a new ship in 2017 that took all my attention. And when I returned, not having followed bts events of the show -- minus the occasional cockles cuteness that would come across my dash -- I was shocked to see d/c shippers adulating Dabb, now the showrunner.

Back in the early days, starting from when his first ep (co-written) aired, those of us who were dean fans were skeptical of his reading of dean. Then the next Dabb co-written ep aired, and the next, and the next. The ep that cinched it for many of us was what we thought of as the pudding episode, "sam interrupted": dean & sam, infiltrated a mental hospital as patients, have been caught in a place they shouldn't be. Dean drops his hospital scrubs, presumably commando underneath, and waggles his dick at the person who's discovered them, while shouting "pudding!" to signify his supposed mental illness and thwart suspicion of their real purpose.

If it didn't to later viewers, this left a very bad taste in the mouths of dean fans as we watched the season unfold. Dabb (+ his writing partner, loflin) saw dean in what seemed to be a very one-dimensional way. Dean was the brawn; sam the brain. Dean liked to eat burgers n' pie and pick up chicks, make bad jokes and listen to loud rock. Dean was all smarm and swagger, shouting "I'm a 'ero!" at the retreating back of a girl who wouldn't hook up with him in a high school broom closest.

We did not trust Dabb & Loflin. We groaned when we saw one of their eps on the horizon. They weren't as egregious as bucklelemming, but they were at the bottom of the barrel with them.

They did not respect or seem to particularly like dean. Their representation of dean was not how we saw him, stuck instead on the superficial swagger of early season 1, which we know of course was/is dean's protective screen for the seething self doubt and vulnerability and outright trauma underneath.

So when I stepped back into the spn landscape on the night of 15x18, you can see how it was disorienting to hear Dabb (Dabb!) spoken of that way by d/c shippers who love dean. Obviously a lot had changed in three seasons, and I knew he was showrunner and y'all seemed thrilled with him, so I went with your assessment of things.

But I never lost that kernel of distrust established a decade ago.

So Dabb "betraying" dean, erasing 15 years of nuanced character development, honestly isn't that surprising to me -- although I would place more blame on singer than anything else, just based on my previous years in fandom. I learned yesterday that jensen hadn't followed Dabb on twitter since 2017; not sure what happened on the show or bts then, but maybe jensen also felt that Dabb didn't quite "get" dean the way jensen does. Idk.

All this bit of history is to say that Dabb could and should bear the responsibility of this outrageous turd of a season finale. HE is the showrunner, and his interviews about the finale don't seem to indicate to me (a newb and a veteran) any dissatisfaction about the finale minus some covid impacts re: who else could appear in the ep. (Not misha, ofc. He wasn't deemed "important" I guess.)

Anyway, that's my two cents. I'm interested to hear any backstory of the last few seasons under his showrunning, again because you guys are the experts on that and I'm out of the loop. Just wanted to offer some historical perspective on Dabb and dean from one d/c veteran.

.

Tl;dr - in this old-timer's eyes Dabb never seemed to appreciate dean's depths, at least from seasons 4-12 imo, so I have no problem holding him to account for ignoring 15 years of character development (and jensen's work) in the finale he wrote.

.

.

*feel free to laugh and lament with me when I tell you my "new" ship/fandom is Jaime & Brienne (hence the tumblr name) who, as many of you know, had this EXACT thing happen to them in the final three episodes of game of thrones. Minus the queerbaiting. [Luckily the real Jaime & Brienne are alive and, although not quite well, gallivanting around the riverlands together as they have been since the most recent ASOIAF book was published in 2011, their fates to be determined but already divergent from the final seasons of the show. Phew.]

I'm honestly a bit annoyed at these meta writers trying to take the blame off the writers and put it all on the network/higher powers because of homophobia or whatever. I know the episode didn't match anyone's spec but maybe the writers did actually just write a shitty ending. Until someone comes out and gives evidence, we don't know that they were forced to do this and it's not fair to defend them. Sorry for the negativity, you don't have to post this, I just wanted to vent :(

frankly, the writers are not blameless. having this attitude that the writers are on your team is part of the reason why this fandom got burned so badly. before the finale, there were images of dabb being likened to jesus circulating around and guess what? it was dabb who did us dirty. i fully support at minimum going to him to express anger and frustration. he’s a writer but he was also the showrunner and is therefore responsible. frankly, i do strongly suspect that dabb had a hand in what happened in the finale because:

1) he gave interviews leading up to the finale where he mentioned that when the writers hated female characters, they “just [had] to die.” 

2) he smiled and talked about bringing back characters that fans hated just to torture them (lucifer). 

3) he gave an interview saying that they managed to get back the characters that mattered most for the finale which...wow, he really said that knowing full well that misha wasn’t there

4) he said the finale would be about the brothers and the family that mattered...which again, wow

and then there were meghan fitzmartin and davy perez, who mocked fans and told them they were reading into it too much when fans saw the deancas implications of songs like “the night we met” but who nevertheless queerbaited those fans at the same time 

tbh the only writer who truly felt like he was batting for this fandom was robert berens. the way he handled cas’ love confession and representation of cas’ queerness was refreshing, and he is the only one who directly responded and negated toxic homophobic fans who tried to twist cas’ story into something less than what it was

Residue of ghosts and offerings commission

I've been commissioned to write a short story for a project called Residue of ghosts and offerings by curator Olivia Bright. working with artist Huhtamaki Wab, filmmaker Dom Moore and graphic designer Jordan Wright.

Last summer I worked with Huhtamaki Wab on the Rame Projects residency, and found it incredibly inspiring. I'm really excited to be working with him again on a larger scale project.

As it says in the article above, Wab has put together an exhibition for a tree on Dartmoor. The ancient tree has seen lots of destruction as it's the only remaining old growth tree in a new commercial pine forest. I attended and assisted with this offering last week and am now in the process of writing a short story recount of the event, to be performed at the Exeter Phoenix later this month.

It's quite a lot to be suddenly taking on so I have been focusing a lot of my attention on this. Below I'm going to show where this short story is at the moment. It's quite similar in style to the work I was doing in Rame Projects - attempting to write in a non-human voice - and to the stuff I've been preparing for KARST.

Particularly, this writing has been informed by research into traditional and oral storytelling practices, as well as being heavily inspired by the new translation of Beowulf by Maria Headley.

In preparation for the performance I'll be spending a lot of time on this story, and on practicing my reading. I hope to perform it using live vocal effects to create spacious audioscapes with onomatopoeia. I'm wondering if (since the reading will likely happen on the Saturday after the end of our KARST week) I should use the days in KARST to practice and prepare for the reading?

--

Lo! Overloaded already I spill my sides and send a ‘cuckoo!’ from four upto noon. It’s a sacred day before dawn, every time, everyday, no witching smiles sour at a hundred miles per hour with only occasional cleaving cars, beam on, still in bed, but I get ahead of myself. I just… I get very emotional telling this one, and it’s really a lot to feel as witness and bear… this story, sure, but any day, the morning moors belong to the beings and spirits who built here before, and I don’t mean in my murmur to falter the footfall of foals over silhouette knolls or tents under bridges for I am no rooster. Well… cockle doodle, dude. Your alarm clock dictates your perspective. No wonder you’re so surprised to discover that plants love life. Vroooom coucou coucou. Piu-piu chik-chirik. And for real, boy do they. I haven’t seen every facet of our forest so fired-up like this for quite some time. Rustle rustle twiet twiet siqsiq txio-txio tsiu tsiu! Maybe not since the Meatfree Sausage Clearance Party at the Heggswurmy Sausage Factory, when all the links unwound from skin and mushed backwards into tacky dough, of ghosts and offerings and whatever smear or herby smell is left behind like incense lingering cloudy in the fog and fane. So, it was early morning and light was slipping over the contours of our windswept frames, and we watched and wandered with these animals as they tottered, lugging bubble wrap and water bottles, boxes and backpacks. Hopped up and high-strung on heather, dawn hoarse, I push so hard on a maniacal ‘moooooo!’ that I frighten my friends and the echo sounds from tor to yore, and I wonder, whose love is unrequited? Ours or yours? Not that I’d ask… it’d ruin the mood…. Coo coo tschiep tschiep cheep cheep tsiu. It’s a special day to commune… to levy for lenity. I speak now not because I was treeviously unable, but because I am now sure of the order of my words and the meaning of the story. To garble or spittle the expression of pain is to unlatch the root from the worm in the tooth but leaving it there inside, you see… and I am articulate, by dint of millentia spent in personal poetics, not mewling or foaming, nor chattering splintery wooden creaks. I annunciate meaningfully, and now I continue, as warning never to repeat.

This place is a message… and part of a system of messages that we understood in our time… pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves a powerful culture. The form of this message is a place is an emanation of energy.

’Twas on this morning the procession then pierced the outermost wall of regimented pines. They climbed the gate with careful grip and contorted their bodies to slip between the branches. Kshh fëshh jhir jhir firu-firu fiiuu fuuu fiju fíííí woesh woesj whoo whoosh overhead; krc křup crunch crash crack khryas underfoot.

Destiel Chronicles

(Vol. XXI)

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Kisses, Jealousy and Sexual Tension

(6x10/6x12)

Hi dear Fandom! Are you swimming too in this big pool of Cockles? They want us dead for sure... 😏💙💚

Ok, this is another volume from season 6, we'll have a lot of fun because I'll analyze Caged Heat

With the Megstiel kiss and the jealous 😏.

I want to give thanks to my friend @agusvedder , she's currently very busy with a lot of projects but she discussed with me, as always, the episodes.

Ok, no more cháchara. Here we go!

Working for Crowley, not saying a word to Cas

Ok, just a little reminder, and the beginning of episode 6x10 "Caged Heat", Dean and Sam deliver a rugarou to demons, and one of them mocks Dean, well... We could say he let Dean without words...

DEAN: Wait, wait. Hold up, hold up. Are we ever gonna see Crowley again or is he just gonna keep sending his demon extras to pick up his laundry?

DEMON: I’m sorry. I know you’re speaking, I see your lips moving, but I can’t understand what you’re saying ’cause I don’t speak Little Bitch.

Demons get in their car and drive off.

DEAN: Remember when we used to gank demons?

Here we have the humiliation for working with demons. The humiliation feels Castiel for doing that.

But we have a data here, Dean and Sam didn't tell Cas they were working for Crowley... Unfortunately, we had a big difference between these two situations, as I marked before. Dean and Sam are under threat, and Cas made the deal voluntarily.

The prelude for the Megstiel Kiss

If you recall first episode from season 5, we had Dean and Sam captives by Meg and her demons. In that moment, Meg teased Dean and kissed him in the lips.

This time was so similar. Because Dean and Sam were captured again by Meg and her demons, she was teasing Dean, but she didn't kiss him.

And because we needed to recall that kiss between Meg and Dean, we had the following situation...

MEG: It’s a deal then. Hugs and puppies all around!

DEAN: You gonna untie us?

MEG: Please. Don’t pretend you don’t enjoy it.

She turns to leave. One of her companions walks up to Dean, staring intently at him.

DEAN: You gonna kiss me?

MEG [calling back over her shoulder to the demon]:Come on!

There was this male demon approaching Dean, eye fucking him, and Dean went for that comment about the kissing. Just to remind us, people... Dean was kissed by Meg the first time...and as if this was an indirect kiss, Castiel will be kissed by her too.

Still mad at Cas

First of all, if you recall my Sam and Cas meta, they weren't in the best point of their relationship by the firsts seasons, they barely knew each other and they didn't trust in each other... Adding soulless!Sam condiment to the soup, you have this interaction...

CASTIEL: I’m mid-battle, Sam.

SAM: I could give a rat’s ass about your little pissing match with Raphael.

CASTIEL: Listen to me, Sam –

SAM: No, you listen! I don’t care what you’re dealing with up in Heaven. You owe me.

(For all the times Castiel didn't answer to his prayers...)

CASTIEL: You may not care, but believe me –

SAM: I’m sorry, do you think we’re here to talk this out?

CASTIEL: Sam, I can’t just –

SAM: If you don’t help us, I will hunt you down and kill you.

Gif credit @demondetoxmanual

SAM: I don't know yet. But I will look until I find out, and I don't sleep.

Cas knows Sam's situation and by the end of the "conversation" he shows concern about the younger hunter. "YOU NEED HELP,SAM."

But when they find Dean, we see Dean is still mad at Cas...

DEAN: You actually showed. Wow, Sam, I owe you a chicken dinner. What happened?

SAM: No big. This is what friends do for each other.

Ok... Dean wasn't trying to call Cas for sure, because he knew Cas wasn't attending his calls... And he remained mad at him, but Sam called him with a lie. And then... The sarcastic comment.

There's something symbolic about what Castiel says while watching porn

Ok, I know this was a funny scene, but... Pay attention to the description Castiel does about the pizza man and the babysitter.

Gif set credit @attackofthekillermexisaurusrex

And he ended... "Perhaps she’s done something wrong."

You would say... What this got to do with Destiel, well... If the pizza man truly loves the baby sitter (if Dean truly loves Cas...) why does he keep slapping her rear? (Why he keeps treating him badly?) Perhaps Cas has done something wrong... 😏 This is dirty minded but... A good point.

Now, let's jump to the juicy here, Jealous!Dean.

Introducing Jealous!Dean

Ok my friends..., We will see this season the born of Jealous!Jensen with Megstiel. And this will continue in the following seasons (7 and 8)

Let's check out this... When Meg saw Castiel with them, she was very flirty.

MEG [to Castiel]: Remember me? I sure remember you, Clarence.

CASTIEL: Why are we working with these abominations?

MEG: Keep talking dirty. Makes my meatsuit all dewy.

DEAN: Alright, simmer down. We know where Crowley is.

This scene is witnessed by Dean, and his face is priceless, he sees some kind of sexual tension between the angel and Meg... And that bothers him... And the last flirty quote from Meg, made him cut her out.

Here you have Dean's facial reactions to that dialogue...

After this... We had Meg doing a big check out of CAS...

Gif set credit @angel-e-v-a

And meanwhile Dean like...

What is going on? Are you flirting with MY angel, really bitch?

Now... The kiss... First Meg, it was a convenient excuse to kiss Castiel, she liked him, she wanted to steal his sword... But Cas surprised everyone with this...

And Dean was like...

Gif set credit @frozen-delight

Unexpected aaaand... His eyes at the end are like... Ugh... Maybe CAS likes her...

Another juicy thing coming up..

More sexual tension...

And this is one of my fav Destiel stares... Ok, the discussion was hard, they were talking about Sam, he had recover his soul back, but he was unconscious... In episode 6x12 "Like a Virgen"...

CASTIEL: I'm sorry, Dean, but I warned you not to put that thing back inside him.

DEAN:What was I supposed to do? Let T-1000 walk around, hope he doesn't open fire?

CASTIEL: Let me tell you what his soul felt like when I touched it. Like it had been skinned alive, Dean. If you wanted to kill your brother, you should have done it outright.

Gif credit @some-people-call-it-tragic

Look at this... The dominant energy coming from Castiel, with his fierce words, recalling Dean the first encounters with this beautiful creature. Castiel approaching him and looking at him that way... Dean is speechless... Look at his face, his eyes all over Castiel's eyes and lips. That's, my friends, purely Destiel sexual tension. And we are here for this.

To conclude

Meg came back to reminds us the kiss with Dean in the same episode she kisses Castiel (indirect Destiel kiss).

With Megstiel we had the introduction of Jealous!Dean, so delightful.

We had a curious symbolism in Castiel's description about that porn movie... Hilarious but interesting...

And the sexual tension between Dean and Cas always alive...

I hope you like this volume, c-u in the next one!
