"First Blood" car ride back home scene but instead of Cas finding out about Dean's deal with Billie, it's Dean discovering Cas put to use Mick's business card and called him for help. Of course he then proceeds to ask Cas for Mick's card, immediately burn it and delete all of his contact info from Cas' phone.

I've seen that you ship Namor/Dorma. Could you please explain their relationship and dynamic. I've only seen them in some early Kirby/Lee Fantastic Four. Could you also please do the same with his other love interests like Marrina Smallwood. Thanks.

Canonically Namor's only had three major love interests; Betty Dean, Lady Dorma, and Marrina Smallwood. (I'm just counting actual on page relationships, not short romance flings or flirting moments).

Namor/Dorma is my canon endgame. (art by @pointdotiozao )

(If Marvel ever brings her back in the comics then I want it all, Atlantean Wedding, Emperor Namor/Empress Dorma, them having kids, everything.)

Dorma and Namor grew up in the Atlantean Court together and she was one of his few friends.

Dorma is such a great character, she's high maintenance and very confident (like Namor, lol), dramatic, loyal, with a deep love for Namor and for the Atlantean people. She's very beloved and respected by the Atlanteans and she was Namor's greatest true love. Namor literally chooses to save Dorma's life over finishing his quest to finding Neptune's Trident and regaining his birthright as Prince. He gave up his chance to be ruler of Atlantis once more for Dorma.

Dorma was always there to save Namor's life, she loved Namor deeply and even died to save him from Empress Llyra. Here's a reading guide for Lady Dorma if you want to read up on her. I know she's a very jealous and possessive person when writers have other women around Namor but honestly I see Dorma as this old school glamorous hollywood diva, she's very fierce and always believes in and supports Namor and her goal is the safety and care of her people and her Prince. She was Namor's first wife, and he's often shown to have a deep grief over losing her, often remembering her.

Dorma and Namor had a very dramatic relationship with Dorma pining over Namor alot in the beginning until he began to court her and returned affection, they were deeply in love.

Marrina Smallwood was Namor's second wife, and Namor fell in love with her after he invited her to spend some time in Atlantis with him following her rescue. I'm very fond of Marrina, and theirs was a very gentle love, soft and joyful. (Namor hadn’t fallen for anyone since after Dorma, he had tried to move on once with Valkyrie but he was still grieving over the loss of Dorma at that point.)

The Avengers/Alpha Flight Namor/Marrina arc is:

Alpha Flight (1983) #3-4, 12, 14-16, 35-40 Avengers (963) #262-270, 272, 282-293

Even though Marrina would slowly turn monstrous, Namor would never abandon her, and would try to help her. He loved her so much!!!

I find their romance so sweet but also very sad with how it ended. It also has one of my all time favorite Namor lines “Woe to love that it should demand such a price. For surely I must now cut out my living heart!”

Betty Dean was Namor’s first surface world friend, later lover. I love Betty Dean, she is also a wonderful character! She’s very feisty and never let’s Namor get away with anything, lol, but also she loved Namor very much.

The first time she met Namor she put a gun to his head and was ready to shoot him if he didn’t listen to her! She was a cop sent out to stop Namor. lol. 

Betty was very influential in getting Namor to see that not all humans were bad, and their friendship continued even after decades. I’d say read Marvels Snapshots: Sub-Mariner for a recent look at their relationship as it was, or even read Sub-Mariner Comics 70th Anniversary comic, I don’t have a Namor/Betty reading list since her appearances are mostly golden age and some silver age with a pop up here and there in the modern age.

She would later reconnect with Namor when she was older and she becomes the adopted mother of Namor’s cousin, Nita.

Namor loved them all deeply and each loss hurt him, each one had a different dynamic but I love them.

The Bag and the Box

We're back to me just sharing my micro comments about the episode, because why not 🤣

Beau calling the guy's car "his cherished baby" maybe went straight to my heart 🥺💘

Was that Jenny trying to make Beau jealous with the "you mean the car, right?"? Because I think it was 👀

Dean Winchester's "Murder. I'd murder 'em all. There'd be torture first. There'd be like, a lot of torture. And then there'd, it would end up with death." 🤝🏻 Beau Arlen's "Savages! Oh, that is a hanging offense."

The way this cop is flirting with Jenny and she's having none of it. I wonder why 🤔👀😏 And don't think I missed Beau's little smirk/smile when she shuts the guy down with the "I'm a tea drinker actually."

"Hoyt always gets her man. So to speak." Beau realizing she's got her manz' heart or........???? And her little flirty smile after he said that.....😉😘

"You are a mystery wrapped in an enigma." Considering he's the sheriff and his literal job is solving mysteries, I'm going to take this as a sign, she's the biggest mystery he has to solve 😌💕

"I don't date cops. At least not anymore." Or, is this Jenny creating an obstacle simply to protect her heart from getting broken again, because she knows there's something here? 🥺😌 And "Copy that." No, don't. Beau, I repeat, do NOT copy that.

"We still have a few secrets and mysteries up our sleeves." Beau trying to simultaneously flirt with and impress Jenny? Without even realizing he's doing it? More likely than you'd think 😌😏👀💕

Beau smiling so happily looking at Jenny after he got her laughing has my whole heart 🥺😍🥰💕

The way Beau jumped on that car, seriously risking himself, it just goes to show how he'll do anything to protect people 🥺💘 Which simultaneously makes me love him even more and be scared for him, because if something happens to him...... 😱 Beau Arlen must be protected at all costs 🥺💘

I like that Beau was just chilling there, in the middle of the road, and that calling Jenny was a priority before getting up 🤣 How's he so cute? 🥺💟

The scene of Beau and Jenny in her office is so cute, him being so hurt but still on the case, her teasing to lighten the mood, being impressed with him putting the lo-Jack on the car 💯👌🏻

The way Jenny kicked in the door because Beau was hurt has me on the floor bawling. They care about each other so much 🥺💕

"My daring ingenuity. And her smarts." The dream team 💟👑🏆🔥💯

Beau's excitment over the legendary baseball card is so adorable, as is the fact that he actually kept his deal? Let the old guy have one last peek 🥺

"So, really, you're never gonna date a cop again?" "Why, would it break your heart?" "Oh. You wish." His lips are saying "you wish", but the tiny cautious glance Beau takes at Jenny right before asking her about dating cops again and the fond way he looks at Jenny right before he says it is saying something else 😌💕👀

Jenny telling him & herself that she's never going to date a cop again to try to ignore her feelings for Beau 🤝🏻 Beau pretending that the thought of her never dating "a cop" again doesn't break his heart to try to ignore his feelings for Jenny

And believe you me, it does matter to Beau, because after his "copy that", not only did he bring it up w/ Pop at some point, he also asked Jenny again at the bar. Clearly, it's important to him, for Reasons™️ 👀😌😏💕

You guys know that meme like "we were dating, but it was a secret. And it was so secret that even we didn't know about it."? That's Beau and Jenny 🤣😘😏😎

Cormac's about to end up in the crossfire between Cassie and his parents, and I'm intrigued to see how that goes......... 🧐

Oof, Paige really working that reverse Stockholm Syndrome thing, and I like it. Very devious

Donno and Walter are my new BrOTP. Unhinged besties 🤗🔪

"And you've got that "I live in the woods." vibe." Donno is so iconic for this.

Something tells me Donno and Tonya's plan to retrieve the journal, to return it, might've changed a bit 👀 (they plan to find it and then make a run for it, don't they? 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️💨)

People excusing the way Emily is rude to Beau by saying she's just a moody teenager is so baffling, because actually, we see her with Carla and Avery and she's totally nice and happy? Maybe it's time to admit that Beau just deserves better than the way she treats him 😢

Not going to lie, Sunny and Buck killing team was not what I expected. I really thought it was going to be Sunny and Walter 🔪😱

Beau saying "Hoyt always gets her man", complimenting her smarts for helping them solve the case, her getting called pretty several times over the course of the episode. Love it when my girl Jenny's appreciated 💛😌

For the five headcanon meme: Jack in Ruby's Terror Twins verse xD

-I imagine both twins would be hurt by/jealous of Sam's relationship with Jack. They would wonder at it. Is it because he's part angelic, "clean" in a way? (even if, ofc, that doesn't stop other people from treating Jack as a monster, maybe they can be forgiven for their lack of nuance there xD).

-However, as per their personalities, they would react to that jealousy in very different ways. I think Lucille would subconsciously see the new role as a (technically) older pseudo-sister as a way to prove herself and her own goodness, something she constantly worries over. Not that she wouldn't grow fond of him, but it would take time (for all that she's outwardly nicer, it takes time for her to come to really care about a stranger).

-Angelica would be much more hostile about it. Except that Dean's treatment of Jack would make her feel protective of him COMPLETELY against her will lmao. Angelica can't take that kind of unfairness.

-Jack often wouldn't know where she stands with them due to all this lmao. When is Angelica going to be mean? When is she going to snap in his defense? When is Lucille going to be perfectly nice and helpful but then go weirdly cold and distant? Who knows!! xDD

-I'm trying to imagine how Jack's dynamic with Ruby would be, but it could go so many ways lol. Especially depending on what I settle on for her to be like by then. Ruby would see him as an asset and endear herself to him, IMO. He'd be wary of her, especially after some warnings (from Sam, Dean, Castiel, maybe the twins even xDD), but I think there are circumstances where he could see the advantages of having someone like her on their side (guess who would've agreed with Jack that if it came to them having to kill Dean to get rid of Michael, so be it? LOL).

send me an au and a ship/character and i’ll give you five headcanons.

People are upset about Rio behaviour but I'm not. Would we realistically expect Rio to say that Beth is more to him ? after all the thing she done to him (act in a very cold way with him after having sex, ending things with him personally and professionally, blocking his number..). she doesn’t deserve it, but he has just returned the favor there.

Let me start by saying that these two are the biggest, pettiest babies of all time and wow would both of their lives be so much easier and so much more enjoyable if they just f*cking talked to each other

But that’s not them, is it? So we gotta watch and suffer.

Honestly, Rio has every god damn right to be mad.

They’re stuck in this game of Get Even. They have sex in the bar, Rio can see that obviously Beth hasn’t told Dean in the car smashing scene (and is obviously a bit peeved/jealous), so he gets even by flaunting Dylan. Beth gets even by strong arming the 50/50 deal -- while also showing Rio that Dean is still in her house with her kids. Then she invites him back to that house and makes love to him and then pays him off and breaks up with him and Rio gets even by harassing her until she caves and then playing 20 questions with her and kicking her out. And this all goes with their back and forth professionally, too.

This whole time, Rio has been pretty visibly salty about being her side piece and a dirty little secret. He respected her choice and didn’t reveal anything to Dean -- despite having multiple opportunities to do so. She obviously hasn’t been forthright about the state of her marriage and I doubt she said a word to him about the divorce. She’s withheld info that would confirm to him that he means something to her and she -- from his perspective -- deliberately slept with him and let him think it meant something then walked away without a backwards glance, oh and then blocked his number. Then she has the gall to follow him around and break into his apartment (the fact that he was likely also impressed not withstanding) and think everything is okay and he’s gonna just kiss her and make it better??

At some point after this his inside man must have told him what was going down with the FBI, so now he’s got that shit in his lap, too?? Her refusal to listen, to take care of her bad eggs, to be a Boss Bitch -- all of it is now causing even more headaches on top of their personal shit.

AND THEN -- again, from his perspective -- she harasses him endlessly (despite ignoring him and blocking his number) and expects him to drop everything for her.

She is a lot of work! That double entendre was painfully obvious.

Now, if they would both be adults and bigger people, they would stop this shit and just have a conversation. And honestly? All things considered? Rio could have been a lot nastier to her in that car scene. But he was subdued and almost tired. There wasn’t as much venom behind his words as he’s capable of. He literally couldn’t even look at her while saying these things, he only looked at her for her reaction. Was he being dismissive? I think his “I don’t work while on vacation” line was meant that way, yeah. But the “pretty much, yeah” and the “that’s it” were not. They were almost fond (the first) and defeated (the second). It felt more like him closing off and trying to wipe his hands of her. Shove her away and pretend like he’s not feeling any type of way and hopefully she’ll get it.

My biggest take away is that he was more hurt by her sleeping with him and acting like it meant nothing than her turning him into the feds. Let that sink in.

I wanna print this post and highlight my favorite sentences and scribble along the margins hhdh bdkfjfjbd

🥺🥺🥺 ahhh 🌹🍓🌹🍓🌹!! @elwing

Halfway reading this got me thinking "Sam would be thrilled to be the one thing to truly quench his brother's insatiable hunger" and then got to where you mention him being jealous of the very juice he's covered in dhbdfhfd... "mouth firmly closed so he tastes neither the fruit nor his brother’s tongue" << OBSESSED with this sorry aaaaaah

Honestly, that reading - Sam viewing himself as the cure - is so perfect? You are so right. And I've been thinking. He might actually be able to make that work without the jealousy (of the...fruit juice..) because 1) he's the one who made that plan 2) he resisted temptation / was strong enough to actually go through with that plan - ergo: he's the one who saved Dean. No one else would've been able to do it. And that means he's the cure. Which means, in turn, that he deserves to (grimly, self-righteously) enjoy getting kissed and sucked to pieces. On that note -

Dean can’t move while he’s being devoured, I think. It’s too much, he can only stand and tremble — but that’s also because Sam’s hunger is so well hidden usually. Getting to experience it this suddenly, this intensely, ought to overwhelm Dean. So trembling it is.

He himself, though, never lets anyone forget just how hungry he is. Greedy eyes, a flash of his teeth in those slow smiles, a hint of that pink tongue. Which makes me wonder if Sam reaction to being devoured so greedily would hold just a little exasperated fondness to mix with that enjoyment of a well-deserved treat. Hand cradling his skull, steadying him, tilting his head this way and that so Dean can lick broad, hot stripes up his throat. [MAYBE!: in the Sam scenario, all bets are off, it’s an overwhelming situation. But in the Dean one, now that Sam has presented the cure and the beastliness has faded (Sam shooting the crossroads demon, stabbing the other demon through the hand in irrational yet cool acts of rage), this is almost…normal? Taking care of Dean? Yanking his shoulder back into place, letting him dip his tongue into the hollow of his throat?]

(also god can you imagine what poor dean is going through, getting manhandled 😳🥴 and kissed 😍😵 and having to keep his mouth closed? poor thing.)

Lizzie with both hands on Laura’s cheeks, leaning in and they would, they would kiss, but they can’t, because Laura’s tongue is still drenched in juice and they can’t risk Lizzie tasting it so oh, they would’ve crossed that line. Silent understanding, they’ve would’ve. But they couldn’t. << good bye ⚰️

The idea of that missed opportunity has not left me!! It's so good ahhhhh!! Dripping-sweet and greedy, clinging to each other and holding back. (also I have to say I was thinking mostly in D/S terms here but there is something to be said about describing the sisters as dripping-sweet in this context. I shall not say it but it has to be known that I'm thinking it 👀🦪)

Save this ask for when you're in the mood (if ever), but I'm considering... Indulging in... Thinking of... the Clown Boys and the Goblin Market 👀 I feel like multiple people in this fandom have thought about scenarios that touch on something similar with, say, Ruby and Sam, and Dean having a different attitude towards demon blood... Or the episode My Bloody Valentine and the idea of unnatural craving... But I haven't seen anything that gets at the heart of the sensuality of the goblin fruits in the poem!

Because of Canon parallels I immediately want to think of Laura as Sam, our honorary Eve eating the fruit, and Dean being Lizzie, wiser about the tricks played by devils... but the opposite -- with Dean prey to his hedonistic appetites, having to feed off the juices smuggled by a more temperate/cunning Sam... Also good...👌

Babe when I tell you I’ve been thinking about this for days too……I’m so happy you brought it up and img your mind?!?!

Firstly, I have to admit that I have a notebook lying around somewhere with a draft called Midsummer’s Metamorphosis that centred around Dean eating Fae food and disappearing (and Sam looking for him and both of them losing their humanity over this etc etc). The plot of it was different but can I just say that there is SO MUCH to the idea of consumption of forbidden fruit. Absolutely obsessed with it. And I’m so happy your posts made me aware of Goblin Market because, as you said, the sensuality… unmatched!!!! Incredibly inspiring.

Also I love both of the options you present. (And this got a little long so I’ll add a read more..)

🌬🌙🍊🍇🍓🍯✨

“Our honorary Eve” — that got me, godddd. Sam is a character that relies so heavily on his rigorous self control and seeing that stripped away will never fail to just be utterly breathtaking. Plus, Dean in some way matches that innocent wisdom Lizzie has. They know about the taboos, but in some way they don’t understand the allure of that forbidden thing? Thus, it takes them both a moment to realise what’s happened to their sweet, curious sibling. Followed by that, Dean’s self-sacrificing nature. Whatever option we go with, be it actual goblin fruit juice clumping his lashes together or demon blood dripping from his chin, I can picture him so so well in that eat me drink me love me scene. The drawn brows, the lowered lashes, the soft mouth, letting Sam pull his hair, cradle his skull with those big hands of his, sucking, kissing the forbidden juices from him. So close, yet not quite… Dean is so good when he’s trembling with disappointed desire. (And Sam is so good when he lets loose, strong and desperate, devouring)

But also yes!!! The other way around, you are so right. We’ve seen Dean stubbornly and stoically wasting away in Faith, it fits those few days in their hut, one warbling for the mere bright day’s delight, one longing for the night. Trying to ignore that something is wrong to keep going, yet barely holding on. And Sam is willing to endure so much for Dean, turns into such a cool-cruel beast for him when he has to. I could see him with that determination, that cold little smile, dripping with juice and bruised like a peach, but not tempted, not driven by anything but thoughts of Dean. And then, Dean’s initial fear that Sam made the same mistake, but even that deeply ingrained worry and love and care being overridden with desire — flaring nostrils, feverish eyes. I really wonder how Sam would react to being sucked and kissed, though. Because I feel like he’d indulge Dean’s hunger for him with a smile that’s maybe just a little pleased with himself (I’m the sun that’s chained to your ankle, I can never leave but in turn I’m the centre of your universe), but in this particular case there’s a barrier there because Dean isn’t driven by hunger for HIM, you know? I feel like Dean in that position would be thrilled and trembling either way (because he is maybe more used to not thinking that he’s deserving of that kind of hunger, so he’ll take it either way), but is it enough for Sam?! Is it enough to carry the cure when you’re supposed to be the cure?

I’ve run myself into this corner where I think Dean would be delighted to get that almost-taste of something forbidden (mouth firmly closed so he tastes neither the fruit nor his brother’s tongue), but Sam — I’m not sure!! I keep thinking he’d be too jealous to enjoy himself? Or, naturally, too worried. If you have a solution to this…please tell me 😩

Either way. You know what would be absolutely showstopping? If this could’ve been their first kiss. Lizzie with both hands on Laura’s cheeks, “I was so worried about you”, etc, leaning in and they would, they would kiss, but they can’t, because Laura’s tongue is still drenched in juice and they can’t risk Lizzie tasting it so oh, they would’ve crossed that line. Silent understanding, they’ve would’ve. But they couldn’t. :V ahhh!!
