I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory - Episode 3x14 (Part 3)

Even though I think Lorelai is a great mom and no question. She's a, an outstanding person, a strong, loving, single mother doing a fantastic job of raising her daughter. I, I, so let a Jess into the life of your daughter, you know, your precious daughter, boy, that's, that's a tough one for a mother. That's a tough one for a mother to swallow...Yeah, no, it was heavy. It was it. See that's the Dan Palladino trick man. He really, he gets you. He gets you laughing harder than you thought you could ever laugh. He's creating this wonder. He's he's, he's refreshing. He's putting a new coat of paint on the Gilmore characters. You know, and you know, when things were getting heavy and then he comes in and lightens everything up and puts a fresh coat of pain on everybody gets you laughing and then Ba-boom lowers the Boom. Big life moment...But, but just, but just think about the, the, the fear on Lorelai's face and her thoughts and all. She didn't even have to verbalize anything. She's so good that you can just read her thoughts. And the situation is, is screaming. So they didn't have to do much...And she was oblivious to, you know what, Lorelai was going through her mother. It's like, I'm gonna lose my daughter. She's not gonna be here much longer. She's gonna start having sex. And she might, she might get pregnant and screw up her life. Like I like what happened to me? And Is it so bad. No, I have a great kid, but Jesus, I want her to go to Yale and I want her to go to Harvard, whatever she does. So that moment was just so full. -Scott

It was later than he’d liked by the time he finally got back to the motel. With muscles that ached from the day’s strain, brain fogged from how tired he was, Sam honestly just wanted to call his girlfriend and talk to her until he fell asleep.

He’d meant to text her a couple of hours prior to let her know the hunt was dragging on longer than expected, but his phone had fucking died when he and Dean were two hours into their trek into the woods to find the pack of werewolves they were hunting, and he’d been pretty miserable ever since.

Dean had disappeared off to the nearest bar after dropping Sam off at their room so he thankfully had the place to himself to mope around as he plugged his phone into the charger and showered whilst he waited for it to get some power. The shitty water pressure and barely lukewarm water did nothing for his aching back, so he was even more agitated by the time he got himself settled onto the uncomfortable mattress twenty minutes later, hair wet and skin still damp beneath his clothes with his eagerness to call her.

As much as he hated being away from her for so long, and too often, it was the safest thing to do. Sam wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something happened to her because she was too close to his shit. He still had dreams about Jess, about how that was all his fault. He couldn’t let it happen again.

His phone hadn’t even reached twenty percent but he was impatient and shuffled over to the edge of the bed so the phone cord would reach and held the phone to his ear as he called her, propped himself up against the headboard.

The phone didn’t even ring twice before she answered.

“Sam?”

“Hey, baby.” The words came out in an exhale, most of the tension left him just at the sound of her voice, the ache seeping out of his bones like a relief. It was what kept him sane whenever he was away. Her picture in his wallet, her hair tie on his wrist, her voice in his ear.

“Hi, Sammy. Got worried when you didn’t call on time.”

He winced at the thought. She worried for him, of course she did. Sam understood how horrible it must have felt for her, knowing what he was going off to do. He could only imagine the dread that must’ve curled inside of her whenever he was late calling. Too many things had happened in the past, too many things could still go wrong.

“Sorry, my phone died when we were still out, didn’t get back until way later than I thought,” he groaned, sank down the headboard a little to stretch out on the bed. The agitation still hadn’t quite left him, the stiffness in his muscles prominent. He wanted nothing more than to curl up with her in his arms and he couldn’t have it. “Miss you, honey.”

He could hear the smile in her voice as she responded, “Missed you more. Wish you were here, it’s cold at night without you in bed too.”

He snorted a quiet laugh. “That’s why you miss me?”

“Mhm,” she giggled, though her voice turned a little coy as she murmured, “among other reasons.”

“Yeah?” An automatic smile was curling at his mouth.

Another little giggle through the receiver. He didn’t even need to see her to know that she had that little bashful smile on her face. He also knew exactly what was on her mind, it was on his too.

It wasn’t the first time they’d have done this. He was on the road so often that their sex life wasn’t as amazing as it could have been, and it wasn’t like he didn’t pleasure himself when he was away on hunts anyways.

There had been many many evenings he’d spent in the shower, hot water rolling down his back as he had one hand pressed to the tiled wall whilst the other pumped his cock until his cum was washed down the drain along with his shampoo bubbles. It wasn’t ideal — bottom lip tucked between his teeth to stifle the heaving breaths and quiet groans, trying to get off as fast as he could before the hot water could run out or Dean could get back to the room. It was even worse when it became a result of having her on the phone. There had been many occasions where her soft voice and giggles in his ear had been enough to get him hard, on nights when he was really missing her and it had just been too long since he’d kissed her.

It turned out she did the same as him. Though when Sam pictured it, it was a lot more graceful than his time in the shower. Laid out all pretty on their bed, legs spread, fingers wet with her own arousal as her head tipped back against the pillows. Sometimes if he got a little selfish he pictured her voice all whimpery saying his name as she came, but he couldn’t get lost in that daydream often, or he’d get hard over that, too.

“Miss you,” she breathed again, and the shift in her tone was palpable. “I… I tried touching myself earlier but I couldn’t cum without you on the phone.”

The groan that left him was automatic and his cock throbbed, hardening beneath the material of his boxers. The idea that she couldn’t even get off without his voice in her ear did wonders for him, it was a wonder his ego wasn’t too big already.

“You need my help, honey?” He crooned into the phone, settled into the tone of voice he knew she liked to hear, the voice he used more often than not when he was whispering in her ear, hips slotted between her thighs, rolling in a rhythm that left her whiney and panting.

Her soft little “mhm” was enough for him to move his other hand down and palm himself, hissing in a breath through his teeth.

“Go ahead and lay down for me, pretty girl. Wanna tell me what you’re wearing?”

There was the rustling of sheets over the phone before her voice spoke up again, “Just one of your shirts.”

Another groan. “You trying to kill me, baby?”

She giggled and his cock twitched beneath his palm. Jesus Christ he needed to get back to her, he needed her in person, to sate the need that wouldn’t be doused thoroughly enough over the phone.

“Go ahead and spread your legs for me, sweetheart,” he breathed, palming his cock again as he spoke, eyes squeezing shut as his head knocked back against the headboard. “Did you get yourself all worked up earlier, hm? Are you all soaked already?”

There was another hum, though he could hear the way her breathing had deepened, deep and heavy in his ear. He could picture the tickle of her breath on his face, the shape of her lips, the taste of her mouth after she’d just brushed her teeth. He needed her.

“Why don’t you start touching yourself for me?” He murmured, voice low with his arousal. Her resounding moan was enough for his cock to throb again and his hand finally dipped beneath his waistband, freeing himself with a quiet groan.

“Are you touching yourself too?” She whimpered, and it was a miracle he didn’t just cum there and then.

“Yeah,” his hand lifted and he tipped his head down to spit into his palm, groaning softly the next time he pumped his cock. “Yeah I am, dolly. Your pretty voice got me all worked up— fuck.” He breathed out the word between his teeth. He was already leaking pre-cum, thumbing over the head of his cock in a move that made him shudder, though it felt nice when she did it. Stroked his cock with her pretty hands, her pretty lips that wrapped around his head when she was on her knees for him, licking along the length of his dick in a way that always made him weak in the knees.

She moaned again and his hips jerked, rutting into his hand with a filthy groan. “How’re you feeling, honey?”

She whimpered, and Sam felt another dribble of pre-cum slide down the length of his cock. “Good— mm, good, j’st—” she took in a shaky breath, “feels better when it’s you, baby.”

“Oh yeah?” He grunted, pumping his cock just a little faster. “Why’s that, dolly?”

“Bigger hands,” she breathed. “longer fingers.”

Sam moaned, the idea of his fingers nestled deep in her wet heat enough for his cock to throb in his hand, and he knew he wouldn’t last long. But from the sounds of her pretty little whimpers, neither would she. “Can’t fill that pretty pussy up as nice as I can, hm?” He took in a shuddering breath. “Play with your clit for me, sweetheart.”

He could hear the moment she did, the sharp inhale, the whimpery moan, the rustling of the sheets as she, undoubtedly, spread her legs wider. “Oh god, Sammy—”

“Are you close, sweetheart?”

All he got in response was a high-pitched “uh-huh.”

“That’s it— shit, that’s it, baby,” he panted, pumping his cock faster, moaning softly as his head arched back. “Go on, dolly, make some pretty sounds for me as you cum, won’t you? M’gonna cum just thinking about you making such a mess of yourself, c’mon, baby—” he was practically begging between sharp breaths.

It only took a moment before he heard her sharp inhale and the whine that followed, and all it took was a few more quick ruts into his hand and the sounds of her before he groaned her name, toes curled and eyelids scrunched as he came. He could feel the evidence of his orgasm dribbling down his cock and his fingers as he shucked a few more times, hissing through his teeth as he finally stopped.

“Oh sweetheart,” he breathed, panting, not unlike her heavy breaths into the phone. “You sounded so fucking pretty, honey. That feel good for you?”

She took a shuddery breath and hummed again. “Yeah, thanks baby.”

Sam couldn’t help the breathy chuckle. “Don’t need to thank me,” he murmured. “M’always gonna take care of my girl, even if I’m not there. You made quite a mess of me, too.”

She breathed a laugh, and a moment passed of just their shared breathing as they both calmed down. Sam’s cock had softened completely against his abdomen, and he’d have to change his clothes and have another shower, but fuck was it worth it.

“I’ll be on my way back to you tomorrow,” he promised once his breathing had mostly evened out. “Should be with you before dinner, then you get me all to yourself.”

She yawned into the phone before mumbling, “Good, want you back to me as soon as possible.”

The sound of her so sleepy just left him so soft. “I promise I will be,” he breathed. “Why don’t you get some sleep, okay honey? I’ll call you in the morning when we’re on the road.”

“Okay,” her voice had completely softened, coated in a sickly-sweet fondness that left him putty in her hands. “I love you. Get back to me safe, okay?”

“I always do,” Sam smiled. “I love you too. Night, gorgeous.”

She yawned her own goodbye before the line went dead, and he let the phone drop back down onto the mattress with a heavy breath.

Just one more day, then he could have her in person, help her in all the ways he wanted to on the phone.

"Rory flirted non-stop with Jess in front of Dean! He had every right to be mad and react the way he did! He was a saint for putting up with it for so long"

Let's unpack this claim, shall we? After reading fantastic Gilmore Girls recaps by @saltygilmores my memory to Rory's shameless and scandalous flirting with Jess in front of Dean is refreshed, so I can list it here:

2x05 Rory and Jess first meet, he tries to get her to ditch dinner with him, she convinces him to stay. She is nice to him but not flirting. He seems interested in her though.

2x05 Rory and Jess run into each other at night and he is flirting by showing her a magic trick and giving her a book with his notes in the margins. She calls him "Dodger" which could be considered flirty, but it's not something I can't imagine her doing with Paris or Lane.

2x06 Jess dresses up as Luke and Rory looks at him and laughs. Oh the horror! How dare she look at another man! Doesn't she know she should put blinders on whenever Dean isn't around?

2x08 Rory runs into Jess in front of Doose's and rips him a new one. She tells him off for making Luke's life more difficult. She does admit that the prank he pulled was a little funny though. Then Dean runs into them and Rory isn't ashamed to introduce him as her boyfriend. She in no way, shape or form flirts with Jess in front of Dean in this moment, but Dean seems territorial and antagonistic to Jess from the start.

2x08 Jess takes Rory's advice and makes Luke's life a bit easier by fixing his toaster. On the way from the diner he smiles at Rory and she smiles back. Kind of flirty

2x10 Jess arrives at Bracebridge dinner and waves at Rory and Dean which makes Dean lose his mind. Rory does nothing.

2x10 Jess jumps into Rory's carriage which is not something she was expecting or could prevent. She tells him off for it and for fighting Dean previously. She becomes more understanding when he tells her he was really fighting some other guy who is allegedly a jerk. Jess proceeds to asks her what she has in common with Dean and she tries to find an answer. She defends Dean when Jess calls their relationship a "teacher - student" thing. They talk about Jess's family. Again, not really flirting.

2x10 Rory and Jess make eye contact across the room. Dean almost loses it. I will admit the eye contact was kind of flirty in an 18th century romance novel kind of way.

2x12 Rory laughs at a prank Jess pulls and Jess says: "you owe me an egg roll". Rory smiles as she watches Jess walk away. Kind of flirty territory.

2x13 Jess runs into Dean and Rory making out in Doose's and Dean gets mad because Jess "bugs him" and "is always around". Rory minimally interacts with Jess in this scene and tries to console angry Dean.

2x13 Jess bids on Rory's basket which makes Dean fly into unprecedented levels of rage. He should be mad at Jess but he chooses to yell at Rory who didn't even know about it instead.

2x13 Jess appears and Rory chooses to go with him to lunch over angry Dean who is throwing a tantrum. If he hadn't been so mad beforehand I would have understood him, because it is kind of shitty that his girlfriend is choosing to go on a lunch date with another guy over him, especially given the romantic nature of this event. Dean then storms off to tell on Rory to her mom. He says that he is worried that Jess will get Rory in trouble. What kind of trouble you ask? Well for starters realizing he is mediocre, dumping him, dating Jess and experiencing a healthy relationship and an orgasm in her life.

2x13 Rory and Jess go on their lunch date during which Rory starts out very cold to Jess, defending Dean and asking Jess why is he messing with him and tells him it's not funny.

2x13 Rory warms up to Jess and they have conversation about recommending each other books. Not something she wouldn't do with Paris or Lane too. But I will admit: "Earnest only has lovely things to say about you" and the look she gives him after IS flirting. But Dean is not there to see any of it.

2x13 after their lunch they go to a bookstore and then to get pizza, but sadly we don't see any of it to determine if Rory was flirting with him or not. It can be argued that hanging out alone with another guy is flirting, but come on book buying? In broad daylight? How scandalous! It is unclear if Dean ever found out about this.

2x13 okay this is one of the few times Rory is overtly flirty with Jess. She calls him on the phone and tells him that if he reads the book she recommended and doesn't like it, she will "make it up to him". What was she planning to do?? I guess Jess must have loved the book in the end because she never "made it up to him" (if you know what I mean wink wink)

2x15 Rory gets flustered when Jess compliments her hair. She also tells him off for not being nice enough to her mother and tells him to make an effort. Later in the episode she tells him she lost the bracelet that Dean had made for her and is scared that Dean will be mad. If you don't count getting a bit flustered after Jess complimented her hair, there is no flirting on Rory's part in this entire episode. In fact she spends it scared of Dean and trying to please him.

2x16 Jess brings Rory food because he knows she is alone for the night. Then kind of rudely invites himself over for dinner (three people invade Rory's alone night in that episode). Rory convinces Paris to eat with them just so that she is not alone with Jess, presumably because she knows that if Dean ever found out he would fly into Godzilla levels of rage. Dean does find out and does fly into Godzilla levels of rage. And it's very fortunate that Paris is there and covers for Rory. But I will admit that Rory making excuses as to why Dean shouldn't come over and then coming out of the house with Jess does look suspicious. Still Dean didn't even try to find out the whole story or let her explain, he just started yelling.

2x16 Dean watches through the window as Rory talks to Jess over the counter at Luke's. Their conversation looks flirty but Dean has no idea what they are actually saying. I will admit here Rory does flirt with Jess in front of Dean but she is not doing it on purpose. She doesn't know Dean is watching so she is not doing it to "provoke him" or anything like that.

2x17 Rory bosses Jess around throughout this episode and calls him all sorts of names like "despot" and "punk". In the end she tells him "welcome to the town". It is kind of flirty but again, Dean is not there to witness any of it and probably never finds out.

2x18 Rory blows Dean off to hang out with Lane at the diner. It is unclear if Jess will be working a shift there at the same time. Dean mopes on Lorelai's porch and asks her: "she likes Jess, doesn't she?" to which she looks sad. Mind you, he continues dating her for 11 more episodes after this. No one asked him to do that. He did no one any favors.

2x19 Rory asks Lorelai to lie to Dean about her tutoring Jess. Suspicious but justified given that a season ago Dean completely lost his shit upon seeing another guy next to her holding her books and Lorelai does it anyway. Jess flirts with Rory while she tries to tutor him and tries to impress her with magic tricks. It charms a smile out of her once, the rest of the time she is annoyed and throws his cards away.

2x19 Rory does however agree to get ice cream with him and stupidly lets him drive her car. She also agrees to continue driving in circles with him instead of going back to the diner to study. In the car she asks him flirty questions such as: "why aren't you going to college?" And "why don't you try harder in school?" She does have a lot of fun with Jess in this episode, much more than with Dean but apart from one instance of prolonged eye contact it's not the kind of fun she wouldn't have with Paris or Lane too.

2x20 Rory is terrified to tell Dean that she got into a car accident with Jess in which the car he had built her was totalled so she writes him a letter. It is unclear to what extent did she say what happened between them in the letter. Dean responds as any rational and stable person would- by throwing a bag on the ground and kicking it. But to be fair, after he finds out that Jess is really gone, he gets eerily calm.

2x21 okay here she does flirt with Jess. She skips school to go see him in New York where they spend the day together. I would understand Dean being mad if he ever found out about this, but to our knowledge he doesn't.

2x22 Rory kisses Jess! She soon realizes what she did and pulls away. This is the only instance she physically cheats on Dean yet Rory antis never shut up about it.

3x01 & 3x02 Rory talks quite loudly in public about having kisses Jess, both to Lorelai and Jess. With Jess they have an argument about it in Doose's! Despite this, we never know if Dean ever found out, but my guess is he didn't because I don't think he would keep quiet about it and not fly into unprecedented Godzilla levels of rage over this. Seems very out of character.

3x04 this is one of my least favorite Rory moments. She acts like a Karen and tells Jess's new girlfriend/hookup off while she is at work. Lane is also yelling at Jess and mad at him on Rory's behalf, but iirc all Rory tells him is: "you left your bra in the backseat!"

3x05 Rory is looking for Dean to help her fix the sprinklers but runs into Jess instead. Jess offers to help her fix them. They make eye contact while they are soaked in sprinkler water. Once Dean pages her, Jess turns the sprinklers back on so that Dean can be the hero and save the day. Dean never finds out about it.

3x06 Rory eggs Jess's car. That's not flirting, that's a felony!

3x07 here Rory does banter in a flirty way in front of Dean. And she does obviously use Dean to make Jess jealous. It's also the episode Dean finally has the balls to break up with her, which he chooses to do publicly by airing out how she is obviously in love with Jess in front of the whole town. Was it wrong to flirt with Jess in front of Dean that evening? Yes. Does the punishment fit the crime though? I'm not sure.

So to sum up, as far as Dean's concerned Rory's "unabashed and shameless flirting" with Jess includes: eye contact across the room, having lunch together at a town festival, having dinner together during which she tried to set him up with Paris, talking over the counter at Luke's, crashing a car together, and then bantering at the dance marathon. And we know how he reacted to these things. I am not defending lying to your partner but in this case I understand why she felt the need to. Imagine if he had known the full extent of it.

Tags: Sam/Dean, Stanford Era, Hurt/Comfort, Mainly comfort, but like it starts with some angst I guess Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Word Count: 703

Sam paces back and forth in front of his phone on the counter. He thinks back to Jess and hearing her talk about her brother dying over the weekend, lost to a car accident. Immediately even though he'd tried to stay focused on Jess and offering comfort, his mind had jumped to Dean.

Dean, who spent more time than even the odd person between the four doors of a car, traveling down more highways than most would in their entire lives in the span of a single year. Zeppelin playing loudly through the speakers, and driving at least 10 over the speed limit at all points in time.

Dean, who Sam had tried not to think of in months, who he'd long since gotten used to the possibility of losing to their family's obsession with the supernatural. An old wound that still smarted when you pressed on it, but that Sam had learned to ignore with time and distance.

Dean, who Sam was now realizing, might not even be alive anymore. 

That had been the final thought that had led him here, pacing in front of his phone that he'd never managed to replace, even after 2 years of being here, in hopes that it might ring someday.

It never had and that fact was now working Sam up even more.

It's not like he expected Dean to call him up often because of how he’d left things, but since they were younger Sam had always known that no matter how many times they fought, Sam always managed to get Dean to come around to his side. No matter how many dates or hunts took away his brother's attention from him, when it got to be too much, Sam could use a few words and a look and he'd find himself on one of their beds, legs swung over Dean's lap as they both sat down to watch whatever they happened to be able to catch on the television.

He might not have the bed or Dean readily available, but he’d never doubted that Dean would one day be the one to finally call.

That confidence was being shaken now though. Sam couldn't be sure that he'd never pick up the phone to see Dean's name flashing across the screen, because Dean was still holding out in the same way he was, or because Dean had held out to the end, setting his foot down in the worst way Sam could imagine.

Sam thinks about the fact that if Dean never spoke to him again, he wouldn't be sure what the last thing his brother had even said to him was. That last night was bathed in crisp detail and out of tune nothingness. His father's face as he told him if he walked out not to come back, interspersed by the fact he didn’t remember what tone he’d even been using. Dean standing there, with the most fragile look he'd ever seen his brother have, frozen and never stepping in between him and their dad even once like he normally would. 

The bus station, broken into snippets of images that blurred in and out with his tears, but with the stash of 600 dollars he'd found stuffed into his duffel still in perfect detail. Stashed there by Dean no doubt, which Sam read as his brother keeping good on his promise to always take care of him. A promise he read as Dean being sure they'd talk, see each other again.

With that thought Sam is grabbing his phone off the counter before he makes the conscious decision to, pressing 1 and seeing Dean's name pop up the same way it had since he'd gotten the thing. He presses call because he knows if he doesn't he'll lose the nerve. He hears it ring out twice before the line clicks and he hears his brother breathing on the other end.

Shaking with a mixture of relief, anger, and loneliness he's managed to keep locked inside his chest since he's gotten to Stanford he just breathes with his brother, matching his breathes to his like Dean used to have him do to keep him calm when he'd first starting coming on hunts.

"Sam?"

thoughts on today’s volume ! now why the hell are we a girl going to casa and not a casa girl !? we didn’t even get the season 6 treatment of being able to show up first. FB is so nasty for this

moving on, yash, larson, and caleb are all very cute !❤️ everyone’s already pointed out that yash looks like zeph, but how about larson lowkey being the guy version of lisbeth 😭 just imagine him with amber eyes

raunchy races was pay to win, to absolutely no one's surprise. the free option text being something among the lines of "i am not a main character" truly sums up this season 😭 i chose to have the underwater kiss with lisbeth

bare minimum but i love when the islanders actually remember specific things about MC, like her job

dean is… let’s just say liam-esque 😬 i actually don't mind islanders that are not romanceable, not attracted to MC, whatever whatever, but disrespecting her by acting like she doesn’t exist is not it. at least tristan served cunt 💔

up next is tea spilling with lisbeth, one of many "pay to find out what happened" scenes. i have no idea why MC couldn’t have just watched this stuff happen on the TV in the hotel, even if it was still paywalled it would've made more sense. also tristan and sofia being dumped offscreen is some of the most ridiculous bullshit ever, especially if they don’t end up returning (which i'm not sure about honestly, i'm split between either #tristofia coming back, or dean & whoever is stupid enough to bring him to the villa replacing them) why couldn’t MC take them down herself ? why couldn't we witness them melt down ? there's no way FB seriously thought this would be satisfying to players

anyways, the game does acknowledge that both jesse and lisbeth are into MC ! but the way it's worded would make more sense if MC hasn't been pursuing him at all, like idk why my girl is so confused. i literally picked the "reveal that you've always fancied him" option before leaving the villa 😭

party time ! i chose to dance with lisbeth, and then there's a diamond scene with dean spilling the tea in the most obnoxious way possible. moving swiftly on

then there’s some more grafting on the guys, i really enjoyed the scenes. afterwards we reach the point where we’re forced to pick a casa guy. i like all of them but they're just gonna be a placeholder for me. i used a number generator and got a 1, so caleb it is !

we have a compatibility challenge, and obviously MC and caleb won ! the drink was cute lol

but where is the option to throw hands with dean ! i can deal with him treating MC like trash, but lisbeth ?! 👹👹👹 he is legit a liam clone, down to the weird "tormenting our female LI" thing

(and isadora & nyah being like “he’s just joking teehee 😍” is so gross)

i chose to sleep with lisbeth ! i only snuggled her because FB’s lazy asses keep reusing whatever MC does at bedtime in casa for her movie night clip. i may be romancing everyone in sight, but i'm evading the consequences of my actions classy about it 😏

…as an OG islander ??😭 we were a bombshell, the AI is AI-ing. anyways, i wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up exactly like “umagate,” where we meet the casa girl that wants our partner. it would be nice to see jesse though 🤞🏽

overall, we're at the point of the story where everything starts taking a complete nosedive. call it the casa curse, i guess. and to make matters worse, a bunch of the worst plotlines from previous seasons have been reused, this is certainly the season of all time 😃 but for real, the only upside to this volume is that we could spend a lot of time with lisbeth ❤️ (and for me that's pretty much the only positive thing about us not being a casa girl) also, caleb's such a sweetheart, he deserves the world ❤️

Happy Wincest Wednesday! I have my first appointment for HRT today (eeeee) so everyone's getting the same question: thoughts on trans wincest? Is it something you like to think about? How do you trans the Winchesters? Which one(s) and which way(s)? And of course, most importantly: how does that impact the sex?

- schizosamwincester

Happy Wincest Wednesday and congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!!

I do have trans Winchester headcanons! My favorite are trans girl Sam and transfemme genderfluid Dean.

For Sam, I like to imagine she's known vaguely that she's trans forever and feels like it's something wrong with her, exactly like the demon blood feels like something has always been wrong with her. I think she's deep in the closet (is that still what the kids call it these days or is it "stealth"? or is "stealth" only when you present as your real gender but you pass as cis so well no one knows you're trans, not if you're presenting as your AGAB to keep being trans a secret? terminology changes so fast and I am so old and slow lol). Anyway, I think Sam is deeply ashamed of being secretly a girl on the inside until she goes to college and meets Jess. Even after Jess encourages her and tells her its alright and then dies, she still has deeply complicated feelings and presents as male to everyone except Dean, and later Ruby. (And later still of course Lucifer finds out while they're in the Cage and uses it against her to make her feel even worse).

I love that in this scenario, Dean calling Sam bitch and teasing her about her soft girly hair and skin etc is secretly gender-affirming. It looks to outsiders like just brotherly teasing, but to them it's a sign that Dean loves and accepts her as his sister.

Jess, Dean, and Ruby all top her because that's what Sam likes. Jess and Dean are both slow and gentle and say what a good girl she is, how pretty she is, etc. Ruby is more the forcefem type, but also gives Sam lots of the same kind of praise she did in canon, but for being femme and compliant during sex as well as drinking her blood. This is both deeply satisfying and gender-affirming for Sam and also makes her more ashamed and fucked up about it even than she was before, because it links the dysphoria and the demon blood even more tightly. (Poor Sam, nothing is ever easy for her).

For Dean headcanons, I see him more as the type of person that in my generation used to conceptualize themselves as a "man with a crossdressing fetish" but who now would be more likely to say they are genderfluid. Maybe he secretly tried on Mary's high heels as a little boy and then later as we know he loved it when the infamous Rhonda Hurley "made" him wear the lacy pink panties. I think he loves for Sam to "make" him dress femme for sex too or wear panties under his FBI suit etc.

Unlike my Sam headcanon though, Dean isn't actually ashamed of who he is in this scenario, it's just more of that paper thin veneer he layers over so much of his interior life but that people who are close to him are allowed/encouraged to push right past and share in his joie de vivre. He loves cosplay, and his everyday macho masc hunter presentation is just as much cosplay to him as his/her femme presentation for kink or relaxing around the bunker purposes is. Unlike the Ruby/Sam scenario, the amount of ordering and convincing Sam needs to actually do is zero. It's more like, Sam and Dean will get back to the bunker after a case and rather than watch a horror flick in the Dean cave on some nights, Dean'll be like

THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING GILMORE GIRLS-SEASON 3, EPISODE 1: LAZY HAZY CRAZY DAYS (PART 5)

Faces of Fear. Bozo got an early flight home, bringing with him an immovable stench cloud that is hanging over the day's festivi-titties. The city of Chicago is letting out a sigh of relief, though. In the middle of her crisis, Lorelai immediately abandons Rory, who is shaking in Dean's presence like a flu-stricken chihuaua. But not before reminding Dean how much she's missed him.

I heard there's a vacancy at the Shane and Jess Tree now, why don't you two make a reservation?

What the what! They're still going, in the same spot, completely uninterrupted! The Foreplay King and Queen! I am not worthy! Have they been making out in public so frequently that they just blend in with the scenery and hundreds of people walk right past them without even glancing? They've fused with the FuckTree. The 69 Pine. Witnessing this peep show, Rory experiences an instantaenous full blown sexual awakening so seismic the earth threatens to crack open beneath her. At FND, Emily and Richard take the news of the Lor & Crusty breakup just as well as anyone would have expected, which is to say, Not Well. When Lorelai returns home...presumably after 8 pm,as it's pitch black outside but the summer festival is still underway, somehow, with hundreds of people roaming the streets. The Barbershop Quartet is still singing "Lazy Hazy Crazy Days" into the night sky, creating an eerie scene. This is like something out of the Twilight Zone. The festivals never end, Taylor Doose in his never ending quest for power and money is forcing the citizens of The Hollow to listen to the same song (actually, more like two lines from the same song) on a loop until they go mad, forced to sell corn dogs and cotton candy until they drop dead, while Shane and Jess are still making out against the Poke Oak.

Again, the last few episodes have been making me feel like something was missing, then I remember Luke still exists. Hi Luke! Why don't you put a light on or something, why are you working in the dark?

Looks like someone decided to put on her big girl panties and be brave. With Lorelai breaking in and Jess always escaping it seems like Luke doesn't know what a lock is. Lorelai states she isn't there to beg for forgiveness or have a conversation with him or to talk to him or interact with him in any whatsoever, but she had a bad night so she wants him to make her coffee. DIdn't you hear the man? He's closeddddd.

When Luke won't budge, Lorelai asks him to just pretend she's some other random customer she made up called Mimi, as if it's in any way possible for Luke to imagine this ridiculous woman as someone else. There's no way these two have ever successfully engaged in role play. I guess he could pretend she's Kirk, both of them take up space for hours at his establishment and don't tip and make him want to lay down face first on the grill with his hand in the deep fryer. Luke won't assist her, so Lorelai helps herself to a pot of tepid coffee, sits down at his counter and starts crying about all the fucky guys she's dated in the last two years.

"Crusty's gonna have a baby with this woman" True "He's gonna be there for her when she's pregnant" False "He's gonna be there with her to see his child grow up" False "He's gonna be there for her while she does whatever it is she does." You mean be super duper creepy? #CreepySherry

Am I supposed to feel sorry for you or something? Go cry to Dean Forrester.

You got a LONG wait ahead of you, sister.

Wah wah wah. I want a Tyrannosaurus to storm the streets of The Hollow and swallow your boyfriend Dean Forrester, then I want the t-rex to spit him out so he can be eaten a second time by another t-rex, but we can't always get everything we want, right Lorelai?

Here. Have a 14 hour old donut to ease your pain and hopefully make you go home.

Me, Outloud (Very Animated): What the what, she was about to pay you for the first time ever and you stopped her?! A flipped script, but that's more or less the same reaction I have during A Year in the Life when Jess offers Rory money. “Why aren’t you taking her money” vs “why are you giving her money”

Is she gone? Lorelai returns home to find Rory in the living room. It makes me verrrry nervous when Lorelai and Rory meet on the couch at the end of an episode. Shit always goes down on that couch. It's the Scary Couch. The couch where Lorelai imparts horrible wisdom. It turns out my intuition would be correct in this instance. So horribly, horribly correct. Lorelai apologizes to Rory for reacting in the town square earlier, even though for once in her life Lorelai was actually the reasonable one who was totally in the right about Rory's behavior being slimy, and even if Lorelai is a hypcorite of the highest magnitude to try and impart on her child that you shouldn't mess around, cheat and play games. We can throw her a sprinkling of "Do as I say not as I do" points as long as she doesn't fuck it up in the last two minutes of the episode.... Hahahahaha. Ha? LORELAI GILMORE GO 15 SECONDS WITHOUT MENTIONING DEAN FORRESTER CHALLENGE. GO! Lorelai plops down on the couch with 2:58 left in the episode. *starts timer*

2 minutes and 43 seconds left. From sit-down to How's Dean was 15 seconds, she then asks "How was Dean" three more times. That fucking couch! Oh, and of course, after she took off and abandoned Rory earlier when Dean approached, Lorelai has yet to ask Rory how she's feeling.

Yay.

Unfortunately, yes. I called the T-Rex to eat Dean but she's booked to the gills, like, you really gotta know someone to get her to show up in your sleepy Connecticut town. 17 seconds from the last Dean mention to the next.

Oh..honey....

It's crazy NOW? No one tell her what a Three Ring FuckCircus the Jess Thing is going to turn into. She has to find out on her own. It's the only way she'll learn.

She says "I love Dean" with as much conviction as someone saying "Yes, I love walking around in wet socks."

But..ya kinda do, miss "just because you and Rory broke up doesn't mean we did, Dean." Lucky for you your daughter is a pathological people pleaser who won't dare to upset you or Dean, So you can rest easy knowing your precious Dean won't be going anywhere, for like, another 7 episodes.

He deserves to have his nuts crushed by a wooly mammoth.

You know what *deep breath* I'll choose to hear "In this alternate timeline, the HPV vaccination has already been invented in 2002 and I'm going to take you to the gynecologist to get it because I want you to be safe in case you one day decide you want to have sex with Jess" instead of unleashing Double T Rex's on Lorelai.

[stellaluna33]

have you ever heard that song Bless the telephone by labi siffre? i was listening to it earlier and thought about jess and rory and their recurring thing with phone calls and how you mentioned they would never run out of things to talk abt on the phone after two weeks. and i think the act of the Phone Call in some way symbolizes the unique intimacy they have with each other that they can’t exactly find with anyone else. like with rory she tries to mimic her and jess’ phone calls (and relationship) w dean in s4 + gets tired of deans clingy 27 missed calls everyday in s2. and with logan. like you said. in s7 rory has to bring phone sex into the game because they… kinda got bored of talking to each other. and the only phone call jess and rory have in which they cant connect. is when she’s breaking up with him and cant even be 100% sure it’s him because he can’t make himself say anything at all. being on the phone is their thinggg hi hey is their thinggg n no matter what it will always be ^_^

Ooh! You know, I MIGHT have heard that song before, because my husband was going through his discography a few months ago, but if so I didn't really pay close attention to the lyrics at the time! But YES! 🥺. This is something I've been mulling over a lot recently, between that post and seeing a gifset of all the Literati phonecalls, and I think you're absolutely right. And it makes perfect sense for them because there's a certain intimacy that comes with telephone conversations, where it's just the two of you, and everyone else is, by necessity, excluded. Only YOU can hear their voice (I'm ignoring the existence of speaker phone here, haha, and I can't imagine Rory and Jess using it? It's not private or intimate enough), they are connected to YOU ALONE. You're alone together, even when you're not. Yeah. 🥺

And, apart from that last tragic call (where Jess can't even speak! 😩), don't you kind of get the impression that they could go on talking forever? Like, even when Jess calls Rory from NY, the call is only short because Jess ran out of money- they were already spiraling off in new directions (David Lee Roth etc. haha) and I get the feeling they could have rabbit-trailed indefinitely if they had the time! Even when Jess called about seeing Rory's name with Dean on the poster, after the "business" was concluded, they kept talking and talking about other things! For both that scene and their first phone conversation, the SCENE ends before the call does, and you're left with the feeling that they're still there, in their own little world. Yeah. 🥺

And even though Season 7 is... to be taken with a grain of salt imo, haha, I keep thinking about what Amy said about Rory and Logan... That their relationship isn't built on "deep talkin'," haha. So what happens to a relationship like that when Talking is the only thing LEFT? I don't know, sexting, I GUESS. 😅 Because is physical intimacy the only kind of intimacy they had? I suppose it helps if you have a private jet and a helicopter, haha. BUT I DIGRESS! I am DEFINITELY biased, I freely admit! But... I just can't help my preference! I love lovers who connect soul-to-soul.

She Thought She was Normal

A/N: Splitting Chapter 23 into 2 parts. It was another long one.

Story Summary: Maria really thought she was normal, for most of her life. It was normal for people to have natural talent, she would tell herself the older she got. Many things came easy for her, and that was probably how their rivalry began when she was five and he was seven and she met the Winchesters. Little did either of them know that it wouldn't stay like that forever, both having a far larger destiny than they could imagine

Word Count: 5091

Please don't take my work. I'll post warnings for each chapter. Will eventually be 18+!

Warnings: Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), Angst, Fluff (some), insinuating sex

----------------------------------------- Chapter 23 Pt. 1

Sam peaked in Dean’s room the following morning as he and Jess headed toward the kitchen, “Looks like it went well last night,” he chuckled, looking over at Jess, as she’d shared the suggestion that she had given to Maria.

“Guess we’ll find out when the two crawl out of her bed,” she giggled as they continued to the kitchen.

“Either of you two seen Dean this morning?” John asked them when they entered the kitchen.

Jess giggled quietly, heading to get her and Sam coffee as he went and sat down at the table, “Not yet. I’m sure he’ll turn up eventually,” Sam told his dad, doing his best not to chuckle.

Bobby raised an eyebrow, “Not sure I’m liking the sound of that,” he told them, not amused at Sam’s insinuation.

Jess gave Sam his cup and sat down next to him, then looked over at Bobby, “I know I’m new around here, but I know Maria. She knows what she’s doing-”

She didn’t have a chance to finish before Bobby cut her off, “And I know Dean. That boy isn’t the settling down type and I’ll be damned if I let him break her heart,” he almost growled at her.

“I know Dean too, Bobby,” Sam said, managing confidence and not anger, “He’s been in love with her since he was sixteen. He’d never admit it to anyone but you didn’t see how he looked at her that morning. Did either of you ever think about how things changed after that between them, at least on Dean’s side?” 

Sam managed to stay calm as he had explained things, Jess smiling softly at him, then squeezed his hand, a silent “I’m proud of you”. Bobby wanted to argue but he knew that Sam had a point, as did John. They’d seen it the entire time at the bunker and on that last visit when she was fourteen. John chuckled a little but Bobby still wasn’t entirely happy, although, if she was going to end up with anyone, he had to admit that Dean wasn’t a bad guy and would do anything he could to protect her.

She stirred first, nuzzling a bit more against his chest, her hand near her face. Maria had no idea what time it was and didn’t care, she was warm and comfortable, cuddled up under the blankets with Dean. She smiled a bit, and let her fingers lazily move along his chest with her hand where it was. There was peace at that moment for her, even if he was still sleeping or so she thought. She opened her eyes and watched his breathing for a bit before she moved her head just a bit and gently kissed his chest. Dean was doing fine so far, pretending to sleep, that was until her fingertips slowly moved to his side. Her nails lightly ran across his ribs just right and he had to grab her wrist when she accidentally tickled him. She jumped though, and tried to move away, but he held her close.

“It’s okay. I’m uh, a little ticklish,” he told her lazily, lacing his fingers with hers on the hand he had grabbed.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled, getting comfortable again.

Dean opened his eyes and smirked, “That’s one way to wake up,” he chuckled before he rolled her onto her back and kissed her. 

It was soft and gentle, and he caressed her cheek. She did freeze up a little, but quickly relaxed again, kissing him back. Maria let her hand move along his side, without tickling him, and then along his back, holding him close, and he groaned a bit under her touch. For a moment she thought maybe she hurt him, but when he didn’t pull away, she felt relieved.  Dean only let the kiss go on for so long before he pulled away from her. He took a deep breath and looked down at her, biting his lip.

“You don’t seem so tense this morning,” he finally told her, trying to take his mind off of what he really wanted to do.

She giggled a little, “I’m not, or at least I’m not right now. I totally forgot about that whole apology thing,” she replied, then smirked a little, “Might say it on purpose one day.”

His eyes searched hers, and her expression as he smiled softly down at her, “If only you had an inkling of what I’d like to do with you,” he told her, taking a deep breath.

Maria looked at him, slightly puzzled, but had a small idea, “Let me work up to that,” she told him, smiling a little.

Dean kissed her forehead one more time before he climbed out of bed, remembering he had left his shirt in the library, along with leaving out the whiskey and cups, “Shit,” he exclaimed.

She sat up in her bed and looked over at him, tilting her head a bit, “What’s wrong?” 

“I left my shirt out there and we didn’t clean up last night,” he replied, slipping his shoes on.

Maria did her best not to smile at that. She was enjoying seeing him without a shirt on, “At least your room is down the hall. You could always borrow one of mine, if you want,” she offered, chuckling at the thought.

“Your Uncle would kill me if he doesn’t want to already,” he told her, only a bit worried as he motioned toward the clock on her night table with his head.

Her smile faded quickly when she saw that it was after ten, “Shit.”

Without thinking she got out of bed and pulled out a shirt and jeans, then began changing, with Dean standing there by her closed door. He just smiled, leaned back, and enjoyed the view, even if her back was to him. She didn’t even bother making her bed. She grabbed her red flannel and tossed it on before slipping on a pair of socks and shoes.

“What?” she asked him as she stood back up.

“I just didn’t want to freak you out, while you were changing,” he replied, attempting to think straight.

“Oh. Well, I figured since you already saw me naked in the bathroom that morning, it wasn’t a big deal,” she replied nonchalantly, tilting her head just a bit.

Dean had no idea what to say, at least nothing witty. The girl had made him speechless, “I’ll remember that then. After you,” he replied, as cool as he could manage, opening her door for her, “I’m gonna go grab a shirt.”

She chuckled and kissed him on the cheek before heading toward the kitchen. Dean was on cloud nine as he went to his room. Maria made it through the war room and into the kitchen without either of her Uncles saying anything to her. She let out a sigh of relief when she made it to the coffee pot, then grumbled a little, finding it empty.

While she was waiting for the pot to brew, Jess joined her in the kitchen, “So, how’d it go?” she asked, leaning on the counter of the island across from her.

Maria blushed a little but smiled, “He asked me out,” she replied, looking like a giddy, happy kid.

Jess smiled ear to ear and then hugged her, “That’s awesome. So then, last night, was your first time?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

She rolled her eyes, “We didn’t do anything. We talked for hours, kissed a little, and then fell asleep cuddling.”

“When you tell your uncles, I recommend leaving out the kissing part,” Jess giggled, so happy for her.

Maria poured her and Dean a cup of coffee and the two girls headed out to the library, where Dean was getting the third degree from her uncles. She knew that she had to let go of that fear. So, she took a deep breath and walked over to Dean, standing between him and her Uncle Bobby.

“Here, got you some coffee,” she told him softly.

Dean was a little confused but accepted the coffee, not entirely sure what to say, especially when she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, “Thanks, for going at my pace.” She made sure that her uncle could hear her.

“Is there something else I should be aware of?” Bobby asked, getting slightly frustrated. Dean’s track record with women wasn’t a secret.

She took a deep breath, winked at Dean, and then turned to face her uncle, “Uncle Bobby, I know how you feel about Dean. It’s no secret, at least not between us. I also know that there's probably no one on the planet that you’d think was good enough for me. So, I’m gonna make this simple. I chose him, and I said yes when he asked me out,” she explained, as respectfully as she could manage.

Bobby sat there and thought for a moment, keeping how proud of her he was out of his expression, for now. He knew how Will would have been if he were alive, and he felt like he was responsible for her now that he was gone. He leaned back in his chair, “Alright, but if he breaks your heart, I’m gonna break him.”

“All I ask is that you keep the public displays of affection to a minimum,” John chuckled.

Bobby looked over at him, “If I had my way, there wouldn’t be any.” Maria rolled her eyes, “Okay, minimal PDAs. However, if you walk in on something, that isn’t on us,” she told them.

Technically her father had left the bunker to her and she was allowed to invite others to live there with her or even visit. She knew she could have used that but also wasn’t that kind of person. Dean made a mental note not to do anything in front of Bobby. Maria took Dean’s hand and led him over to an open area at one of the tables so they could sit next to each other. It was also far enough away that they could at least hold hands out of his sight. She knew it would take her uncle a little bit to warm up to the idea of her dating someone, let alone Dean. 

She had her first cup of coffee with them but took her second one to her room, closing the door behind her. She had research to do and didn’t feel like doing it in the library. She also didn’t want to ask Jess. There was plenty of information to find online when it came to relationships, from beginning feelings to the intimacy involved. That alone was a massive topic and she found herself headed down two different rabbit holes. She’d had her headphones in, so didn’t hear the knock on her door, all three times it came. 

“Sweetheart?” Dean asked gingerly, opening her door and peeking inside.

He stopped himself though, barely his head through the opening as he looked at her. She was sitting like she’d been leaning against the headboard. Only now she was more leaned forward, a puzzled but curious expression written all over her face as she stared down at the laptop screen. He couldn’t see what she was watching, nor hear it, but she looked adorable. Dean chuckled a little as he went into her room. He wanted to get her attention but there was no way of doing that without going over to her. Dean carefully held the plate of food he’d made her in one hand, while he put the other in front of her laptop screen, causing her to scream a little in surprise, slamming the laptop shut.

“Damnit Dean!” she yelled as she looked up at him, pulling out her earbuds, then instantly regretted yelling. He’d brought her eggs, toast, hashbrowns, bacon, and sausage. She sighed, feeling bad, “I’m sorry for yelling.”

All Dean did was smirk before setting the plate down on the foot of the bed before he kissed her. He was rather happy with himself for coming up with this. She leaned back a little and he twisted her just a bit so that she laid down with him over her. Maria giggled a bit into the kiss which made him smile against her lips, which felt so soft against his own. He did pull away though and helped her sit back up, then handed her the lunch he’d made her.

“Figured you were hungry,” he told her, sitting down on the edge of her bed, “So, what were you watching?”

She blushed a little, “Definitly hungry but I’m not telling you what I was watching,” she replied, taking a bite of the breakfast.

“You’ve got the same guilty look I get when someone catches me watching porn,” he chuckled.

She almost choked on the bite she’d taken, coughing to clear her throat. That made Dean laugh a little, “Geeze. I was just doing some research,” she finally replied.

Dean held his hands up in mock surrender, “Just an observation, that’s all,” there was a bit of playfulness in his tone, “So, what were you researching?”

“Just stuff I was curious about, that’s all,” she replied, mostly casually.

He had his suspicions but wasn’t gonna push it, “Alright. You could always join us in the library. Sam and Jess are cataloging stuff with Bobby and my Dad. Honestly it’s fairly boring and you’re a welcomed distraction,” he told her, flirting a little.

She smirked while she ate, enjoying the meal he’d brought her, and his company. He was just enjoying being in her presence for the moment. While she ate, the things she’d looked up continued to play out in her mind, occasionally making a small smile tug at the corner of her lips. He knew he should have gone back out and helped the others but sitting with her was far more enjoyable than cataloging the things in the bunker.

“Mmmm, that was amazing, thank you,” she told him happily, setting a hand on her stomach when she finished eating.

“Glad you enjoyed it, Sweetheart,” he replied with a happy smirk, “Don’t spend all day in here, please. Could use some of a distraction from them,” he added.

She smiled up at him, “I’ll try not to. I just… I really need to do this research first. It’s… important,” she told him, doing her best not to blush.

He kissed her on her forehead as he took her plate from her lap, “Have fun then. Maybe you can tell me about it later,” he told her before heading out of her room, closing the door behind him.

Maria sighed, noticing how almost dejected he looked when he left. She frowned a little as she opened her laptop back up and put her headphones back in, getting back to her research. Something she was thankful for was that she was a quick study, picking things up exceptionally easily. She knew that was because of her being whatever it was she was though. Maria also knew there were probably more important things she could have been doing when it came to the whole stopping something terrible part, but to her, this was just as important. 

The next few hours she learned way more than she thought was possible and she’d barely scratched the surface as to what was out there and available. She’d gone down a rabbit hole to which there seemed to be no end in sight and stopped when things got rather disturbing to her. The whole sub/dom topic and anything beyond it, as well as anything having to do with what was called BDSM, and that had its own range as well. She sighed as she took out her headphones and closed her laptop. She’d erased her history, not wanting anyone to find it, especially Dean. She knew how resourceful he was when he was curious enough about something. 

She went out into the war room, noticing boxes, both wooden and cardboard, everywhere, “Having fun?” she asked, in a teasingly playful way.

“Cute. Gonna lend us a hand?” Bobby asked her, not looking up from what he was reading.

Maria thought for a moment, “Depends on what kind of hand you’re asking for?” she asked, smirking, walking over to the library where they were all at.

Dean of course smirked and shook his head a bit. Bobby, on the other hand, wasn’t entirely amused, “Sorting, organizing, and cataloging,” he replied, trying not to sound annoyed, knowing her insinuation was directed at Dean.

“Well, I think I can help with the sorting and organizing part at least,” she replied, tilting her head a bit.

This time, all of them looked over at her. It was her tone that had gotten them curious, “Just don’t hit me in the head with these. It’s not like the dime,” Dean teased her, playfully.

She smirked as she looked over at him, “I don’t think you’re quite the distraction you used to be,” she teased back.

That made Sam, John, and Jess chuckle while her uncle rolled his eyes. Dean was about to protest but quickly shut his mouth. She looked at the boxes with intentional thought for them to group themselves in the best way possible for easy understanding and cataloging. Maria was more confident now, not only in her power but also in how she felt toward Dean. The boxes moved around the room, not hitting any of them as they organized themselves into neat stacks on the tables and even the floor. They just watched in amazement. Dean’s focus was on her though, adoration in his eyes.

“Well, that will make it easier,” Bobby said, quietly amazed as his eyes followed the boxes around.

“Glad I could help,” she replied proudly as the last box settled itself alone in front of her.

“What’s that one?” John asked, looking at the small wooden box.

Maria looked down at it, her brows furrowed in confusion for a moment, “I don’t know. It’s not like I took the time to learn what was in all those boxes. I just wanted them organized the easiest for being cataloged,” she replied, just as confused as her expression.

Dean moved over so that he was behind her, snaking his arms around her waist, “Not sure I don’t like being a distraction, gonna have to work on that,” he whispered in her ear.

His warm breath against her neck made an excited shiver run down her spine, “Looking forward to it,” she whispered back before reaching for the box.

He nuzzled against her neck, keeping the PDA to a minimum in front of the others, well, the adults anyway, smirking. She turned the box over in her hands a couple of times, looking for any kind of markings, finding none. All the stuff in the bunker had had some sort of label on it. She pursed her lips, frowning a little as she opened the box, finding another smaller one inside, and pulled it out. The others had moved closer to see what was in the box as well. The small inscription on the top of it sent goosebumps down her body, “Don’t touch unless you are celestial” and the number 444 on the bottom of the box. 

“Well, that’s specific,” Bobby said, reading it over her arm.

“I think I fall into that category,” she almost chuckled dryly.

Maria took a deep breath before she opened the box, then tilted her head a bit. Inside was a necklace with a pendant in the shape of the North Star in a circle. She reached down and picked it up, rubbing her thumb over the pendant. It wasn’t clear what it was made out of but it was beautiful nonetheless. It had a slight glow to it for a moment as the others in the room shared a look of uneasiness before they looked back at her. Dean moved back when she went to put it on but Bobby gently grabbed her arm.

“Kid, I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” he told her warily.

She looked over at him, “I don’t know how to explain it Uncle Bobby, but it’s okay.” she replied softly.

“Can we at least figure out what it is before you just go and put it on, Sis, please?” Sam asked her, more like begged her.

She rolled her eyes, but understood, setting it back in the box, “Alright. We’ll do it your way,” she sighed, closing the box and setting it back down on the table.

For the next hour, they combed through files and logs, attempting to find item number 444. They figured it would be simple since it was marked with more than just the words. Maria rubbed her eyes a bit, tired of going through file after file with no luck. She had found herself continually looking over at the little box, drawn to it. 

“I need a drink,” she grumbled before heading to the fridge for a beer. 

Normally she wouldn’t have drank. She wasn’t having those downing feelings that she had in the past. She stopped at the fridge though and decided to just make some coffee instead, sighing as she leaned against the counter. Dean soon joined her, standing in front of her, and then pulling her close. She wrapped her arms around him and sighed against his chest.

“You okay?” he asked her softly.

“Yeah. Just… a little frustrated that we haven’t found any information on that necklace yet, that’s all,” she replied and he could hear the frustration in her tone.

“We’ll find it,” he tried to reassure her, kissing the top of her head.

Dean grabbed a beer when she got her coffee before the two went back into the library. She didn’t see Sam or Bobby though. Jess was writing things down, cataloging the items while John was looking at a file with a stack next to him. Maria returned to the stack of files she had been looking through while Dean headed down the hall toward the archive rooms. 

“Any luck?” he asked Sam and Bobby as he went back over to where he’d been sitting.

“No. Their filing system sucks,” Bobby groaned.

Dean sighed before he stood back up and went looking along the shelves again. They were filled with file boxes, all labeled, just oddly. He let his eyes scan along the letters and numbers. They had figured it’d be in at least a closely numbered box but they had been wrong, then perhaps a variation of the numbers and letters relating to them. Sadly, it hadn’t been there either. Now, they were grasping at straws, looking in everything. Dean sipped his beer as he walked along the shelves. He grabbed a box labeled C731 and brought it to the table. He didn’t sit down, just set down his beer and opened it. Dean tilted his head a bit, furrowing his brow as he only saw one file inside, labeled 444.

“I think I found it,” Dean said, somewhat surprised as he pulled the file out.

Sam and Bobby looked up, “Well?” Bobby asked.

At first, Dean was silent, holding up a finger, as he opened the file and began looking through it, reading to himself as he flipped through the pages. The picture in the front had been of the necklace, so he knew he had the right file. “There’s not much,” Dean told them. Again, the two just looked at him, waiting for him to give them something.

“Dean!” Sam exclaimed, forcing him to look away from the file.

“What?” he asked, not understanding.

“You gonna read it or hand it over?” Bobby asked.

“Oh, right,” Dean replied, then looked back down at the file, “Well, according to this, no human can touch it or they, ‘Glow with a bright while light before they die. Their eyes burning out of their sockets with their insides liquifying.’ Sounds gross, and painful,” Dean read, then flipped the page, “It’s a celestial pendant that, ‘Can only be handled by a creature with the grace of the heavens.’ Huh.”

Sam and Bobby exchanged a look, “Better go show this to Maria,” Bobby sighed, still somewhat worried.

The three of them headed out to the library, “Found it,” Dean said, only slightly proud of himself.

Maria looked up at him, as did John and Jess. He then proceeded to tell them what he’d told Sam and Bobby but Maria snagged the file out of his hand, reading it herself. He wasn’t pleased with that but didn’t say anything about it. When she read the part about the grace, she decided that she would be seeing Zamariel in her dreams that night. Once she scanned the whole file, which was quite small compared to the others they had been looking through, she set it down and picked up the box.

“So, it’s not dangerous to me then,” she stated, opening the box again.

“I’d feel better if you talked to Mari before you just went fiddling around with that thing,” Bobby told her, still worried.

She rolled her eyes and sighed, closing the box and setting it back down. She wanted to argue but she understood him, “Playing it safe. Alright, I’ll talk to her tonight then,” she replied, “I’ll clean up.”

Maria stood and imagined all the mess of their search putting themselves away, and with that, all the files moved through the air to where they belonged, even the things in the archive room. Then, she grabbed another cup of coffee before heading to her room, wanting to double-check the book as well. Zamariel had mentioned that it would change and grow as her powers did. She waved her hand and her laptop moved itself to her desk as she sat down, leaning against the headboard. 

The book did have some new information but not much, which only frustrated her more than anything. She made sure to read the one line that was on the inside cover of the back of the book so she wouldn’t have to try to remember it later. She groaned a bit as she set the book back on her nightstand, then leaned her head back on her headboard. There was so much information swirling around in her mind at this point that she felt like she had a headache and was utterly tense.

“Can I come in?” Jess asked from outside her door.

“Yeah,” she sighed, not moving.

Jess opened the door and looked over at her, closed the door, and then went and sat on the edge of her bed, “You look stressed.”

Maria laughed a little, “My brain hurts.”

“You know, a bath might help. Hell, a shower would help,” Jess suggested, wanting to help her relax.

She moved her head so that she was looking at Jess now, smiling a little, although she did still look stressed, “I think a shower sounds better. I’m not much for baths.”

“Between you and me, the shower room has the best water pressure. Just remember, the guys can come in there anytime, so…” Jess told her, keeping her voice down, “... shower there at your own risk.”

“Who’s turn was it to cook tonight? I totally forgot. And, I’ll keep that in mind. I might wait till at least my uncles head to bed before a shower,” she chuckled, considering trying out the shower room.

“Pretty sure it’s John. I saw him head in there about a half hour ago. Although, I’m not sure what he’s gonna come up with. From what Sam told me, he didn’t do much cooking for them,” Jess answered her.

Maria chuckled a little, “Bobby will probably end up helping him with something. He didn’t cook much for the boys. Sam used to tell me that Dean did more cooking than John did.”

The girls got up and headed out and into the war room. Sam and Dean were hanging out in the library, so that was where the girls went, “Where are Bobby and John?” Jess asked them.

“Dad and Bobby headed out to get pizza,” Dean chuckled.

“So much for him cooking anything,” Maria laughed a little, “How long till they get back?”

“Probably a half hour,” Sam answered as Jess went over and sat on his lap.

Maria rolled her eyes and looked away from them. She half leaned, half sat on the edge of the closest library table, Dean was to her left sipping a beer. Her mind was still swimming with everything and began wondering if a shower would even help her relax.

“Maria!” Dean said to her, a little louder this time, leaning forward in his chair.

She looked over at him, somewhat puzzled as to why he’d raised his voice, “What?” she asked, a little confused.

“I was trying to ask you if you were okay but it was like you didn’t even hear me,” he told her, concerned.

“Oh, umm… sorry. Just got a lot on my mind,” she replied.

He thought for a moment, “I’m here, if you need to unload anything,” he offered sincerely.

She smiled a little, “Thanks. That’s… really sweet of you.” she replied, then looked down at the floor, “Although, I’m not sure I’m ready to tell anyone what’s been running around in my mind,” she finished, and chuckled a little at the end. It wasn’t like she could tell him what she’d been researching earlier, that would have been too embarrassing.

Dean watched her, noticing the small blush that appeared on her cheeks, and smirked, “You could always just show me,” he suggested, raising an eyebrow, “Either way, I’m here.”

The mild blush only deepened with his words, “Another time,” she replied, glancing over at him.

“Uh-huh,” he said before he sipped his beer.

Maria rolled her eyes again, finding him annoying and adorable but didn’t say anything. Bobby and John opened the garage door shortly after that, causing Jess to get out of Sam’s lap. It was more out of respect for them than anything else. No one teased John that night, for getting pizza instead of cooking. They were thankful he hadn’t tried to cook. Plus, they all loved pizza, no matter how much they loved home-cooked meals.

John and Bobby didn’t stay up late, heading to bed near eight. That was when Maria figured it’d be a decent time to get that shower she’d wanted, “I’m gonna shower,” she stated, then looked over at Dean, “And no peeking.” (Sure, like Dean isn't going to peek...)

So happy that you answered my ask and are open for prompts.I have no problem with your favorite phase of Literati.I too hate Logan with a passion.I do enjoy fics in which he is proven to be the asshat that he is and Rory/Jess ride into the sunset together though.

Some prompts:

Dean never moved to SH.Jess shows up as usual in early season 2.

Rory and Paris lose the election at the end of season 2 and Rory spends the sumner in SH.The kiss still hapenned.

Rory decides to keep going to public school in SH.What happens when she crosses paths with Jess a lot more.Maybe they even have projects they need to work on together...

What if Luke and Jess moved into the appartment in season 2?Luke still has the habit to stay above the dinner for deliveries and hook ups with Nicole. How will the lovebirds use the space and privacy once they figure their shit out in season 3?.

It's all I got for now.

Thanks again and take care.

My god, this ask stayed in my inbox for a while because I didn't know how to answer it. I mean, all of these prompts are AMAZING ideas for a full length multi-chaptered fic, not for short ficlets that I had in mind when asking for prompts.

I mean, I wanna read all of those stories! Please, somebody write them!

And what's good about them is that they are all unique, and I don't remember seeing anything like this already published on AO3 or FF.

If Dean never moved in SH, Jess could've been Rory's first boyfriend. It would completely change their dynamic as a couple. Jess wouldn't have to feel less than, when Rory was constantly comparing him to Dean, like how Dean always called when he said he would, and had plans and whatnot.

If Rory and Paris lost the election, she would've spent the entire summer in SH, while Dean was in Chicago. I think I remember reading something along the lines of Rory sneaking around with Jess and him teaching her sexual stuff 'to be a better girlfriend for Dean', but that concept seems kinda far fetched to me. I can't even imagine what that summer would've looked like. It needs some serious thinking.

Rory staying in SH high would be an interesting thing to explore, when Jess shows up. They could be friends, but all of those girls who painted their nails in class in a pilot episode would definitely be all over him. How would that go, I don't know either.

And Luke actually buying an apartment to move with Jess would be such an amazing concept to explore. Jess having his own space, his own room. Rory would definitely stay over a lot, and some nsfw things would definitely happen 😏

My god, these are all amazing ideas. I don't even know where to start. I would love to write long fics for all of them, but I don't know if I have a mental capacity for it at the moment. I mean I can't even finish the next chapter of Things I'd never say. We'll see how it goes. I'm definitely gonna think about these ideas. Thank you for sending these. Have you thought about writing them yourself? I would love to read them ☺️

❤️ Dean Being Love to Others ❤️

Season 1 Part 1

master post here

1.01 "Pilot": Dean is extremely lonely but when Sam tells him at the end of the Woman In White case that he needs to return to Stanford, Dean looks away so Sam doesn't see him upset, and then when he turns back he's smiling (very unconvincingly—but he's trying!!) so that Sam doesn't think it's a big deal, and reassures Sam that he'll be okay on his own so Sam doesn't worry.

1.02 #1: Even though they would work faster alone, Dean insists they ally themselves with Haley and her brother Ben on the trek through the forest, because he (identifying with Haley) knows they are definitely not going to be convinced not to go in the woods, and he wants to be there to protect them. He relates to and empathizes with Haley (the oldest) wanting to find her brother.

1.02 #2: Dean immediately chooses to act as bait in the Monster's lair, putting his life on the line, while Sam helps Haley and her siblings get out of the cave.

1.02 #3: Dean notices Sam is upset at the beginning of the episode and asks him if he wants to drive Baby (which Sam says Dean has never asked him in his life lmao)

1.02 #4 & #5: Sam has been understandably cranky for a lot of the episode, still raw from Jess's death, and in the forest in a quiet moment, Dean broaches the subject with Sam one-on-one, and talks to him very gently, calmly, and lovingly about how he can't let his anger tear him apart—how it'll kill him. When Sam asks how Dean copes with his anger and grief, the very first thing Dean does is point to Haley and Ben—people he barely knows—telling Sam part of how he copes is by saving other families so they can have what his family doesn't get to have.

1.03 "Dead In The Water" #1: Dean empathizes closely with Lucas. He approaches him even though Andrea (Lucas's mom) thinks it's useless, and tells Lucas about his own family and how scared he was as a kid so that Lucas knows someone understands. By doing so, Dean is able to get Lucas to communicate for the first time since his trauma, through his art. By the end of the case, Lucas is talking again.

1.03 "Dead In The Water" #2: Even though they got caught impersonating public workers by the Sheriff, who then gave them an out (leave town now and no trouble), Dean has a bad feeling and is so worried about Lucas and Andrea that he turns the car around, risking possible retaliation by the sheriff, even though Sam suggests the problem with the ghost has been resolved and there is nothing to worry about.

1.03 "Dead In The Water" #3: After kicking down the bathroom door where Andrea is locked in and drowning, Dean immediately grabs and hold onto Lucas, shielding him from potentially seeing his mother dead while Sam pulls her from the tub.

1.04 "Phantom Traveler" #1: Dean checks up on Sam about how he has been sleeping and about his nightmares. He isn't pushy or demanding.

1.04 "Phantom Traveler" #2: Dean faces his fear of flying and agrees to get on a plane that he knows a demon is going to try and crash, because he knows Sam will need help taking down a demon and they have people to save.

1.05 "Bloody Mary": Dean, the whole episode, is the figure speaking to the innocence of everyone blaming themselves for the deaths of others (which is what the whole case is about). 1) He logics a little girl (who 100% did summon Bloody Mary who then killed her dad) into believing that it couldn't have been Bloody Mary. I love the way he does this, because he doesn't say something like, "There's no such thing as Bloody Mary". He validates her fear as rational by not excusing it as a child's imagination or something silly. Instead, he applies what she knows about the legend itself, telling her it couldn't have been Bloody Mary, because her father didn't say the words. 2) He is the one who points out in the car that Charlie is innocent—she isn't responsible for the fact that her former boyfriend killed himself. 3) After a string of nightmares and lack of sleep that was already concerning Dean, when Sam indicates he blames himself for Jess's death and therefore will be perfect bait for Bloody Mary, Dean pulls the car over and pleads with Sam not to blame himself for Jess's death. He applies several very logical arguments for why it isn't Sam's fault, and even offers for Sam to blame him for Jess's death instead of himself.

1.06 "Skin" #1: Dean turns the car around to go back 400 miles because Sam just makes a face. THEN Sam insists on getting up to go investigate at 5:30 AM and he doesn't have a reason even to do it that early but Dean does it for him <3

1.06 "Skin" #2: In the car, Dean tells Sam that he's sorry—"I really wish things could be different. I wish you could just be Joe College". This is especially striking in context with Shifter!Dean's comments in the episode. When Sam admits that he never really felt like he fit in at Stanford, Dean says, "Well that's because you're a freak" then, "Well I'm a freak too. I'm right there with you all the way."

1.07 “Hook Man”: Dean assigns himself to go find the unmarked grave and dig it up by himself so Sam can be with Lori, and at the end of the episode after watching them say goodbye, suggests, “We could stay”.

1.08 "Bugs": Dean tells Sam that John used to go and check up on him at Stanford, despite us being able to infer that Dean doubts that John would ever do the same for Dean. Dean makes sure that Sam knows John cares about him even if deep down Dean isn't sure he himself is truly cared about. He doesn't let resentment or jealousy stop him. His primary concern is making sure Sam knows that he is loved.

1.09 "Home" #1: Despite promising himself that he would never go home, when Sam has a vision of someone dying in their old house, Dean agrees that they have to go and check it out, putting aside his trauma to go and save strangers.

1.09 "Home" #2: Missouri spends the whole episode low key bullying Dean (in a funny way it ain't serious) but when she is winded after a long day, he is the one to instantly move to help her down the stairs without a thought. He has manners and he respects her and wants to help her!

[frazzledsoul]

Thinking about it now and an awkward hook-up with Marty would have been the ideal way for Rory to lose her virginity. The show seems to punish the girls for over idealizing sex. Paris doesn't get into Harvard and casually dumps Jamie for a senior citizen. Lane is punished for holding onto her mother's values by a disappointing first time and an unexpected pregnancy. Rory mistakes nostalgia for love and is scapegoated and shamed for believing Dean's lies and the story once again becomes not in how she was manipulated (she was) but in how she's destined to hurt poor, innocent Dean by leaving him behind (even though he's the one that lied and made zero attempts to actually leave his wife).

I feel that crossing that threshold with a friend who likes her more than she likes him would have been a much easier way for Rory to move into the Logan era (being slightly more prepared for a casual relationship) than having an affair with her married ex. Maybe there would have been some hurt feelings if it didn't go anywhere but it would have been way less emotionally traumatizing than what actually happened.

I guess in this ideal scenario, Rory backs away from the friendship with Dean because she needs to set boundaries, Jess still goes and begs her to run away with him but maybe it goes slightly better for them both (as in Rory lets him know lol, no, how about an apology first and he gets it in his head that he needs to fix some other stuff in his life instead of this crazy plan), she still goes to Europe with Emily to clear her head and when she gets back to Yale Marty is there and lol, why not. Alternatively, it could have happened during freshman year and just didn't go anywhere after that, which could lead her to make wiser decisions about both Dean and Jess.

I also think it would make Rory's later interactions with Marty realllllly interesting. Imagine her telling Marty she's interested in Logan after they hooked up and it didn't lead to anything significant, or him pretending he doesn't know her during season 7.

[feralgodmothers]

I’m just imagining Dean and Rory if Luke’s nephew were a toddler when he arrived. Mostly them coming to a more natural end realising their priorities no longer align. Probably around college. But also like convincing Rory to babysit jess and her calling Dean for help because she’s rubbish at it. And Dean being like the ultimate supreme babysitter there ever was. I don’t know about you but I personally think it’d be amazing.

That would be so cute omg I am yearninggg

It would have been so cool to meet baby Jess, and getting the chance to see Dean with ANY baby would just be 💖💖💖💞💕💗💓💖💖

After the few scenes we saw of him with his sister, we know he’s a natural with kids. 💖 I think this would have been a nice opportunity to see Dean in his true element, rather than being constantly kicked around by the narrative. I would have died to see his loving, tender side get some room to shine for once, and this would have made for the perfect occasion. 🥰

Now that I think about it - it would have been nice to see some real domestic Dean, rather than just the two “domestic” scenarios the show gave us that were both fake in their own way, and that the fandom insists on defining him by.

Like this:

This isn’t what he wanted. He even said so in the episode.

Anybody who was willing to pay attention could see that he was weirded out by the whole thing.

This isn’t exactly the face of a boy whose ultimate fantasy is coming true.

And this:

This wasn’t what he wanted either. It was just one extremely dumb decision on his part. For viewers to water Dean down into some caveman who only wanted a housewife in a dress is grossly inaccurate and unfair. If that were the case, he’d have been perfectly happy with a shallow relationship with Lindsay. My boy just wants a home, family, and coziness (essentially just a nice life) with a girl he loves, and there isn’t anything wrong with that. If Dean and Rory had had a nice, natural breakup, this entire disaster with Lindsay would have never happened. People make rash decisions when they’re hurting (or are, you know - NINETEEN. Why did his useless parents support this? 🤦🏽‍♀️).

When I first started watching the show, I fully expected Dean and Rory to go their separate ways when she went to college. The way they got together was so nice and simple, it would have made sense and been great if they could have ended things the same way. The writer’s addiction to unnecessary drama can make things so unpleasant sometimes. :/

I’m glad he finally got his happy ending in AYITL. I love that he was given a nice, big, chaotic family with a wife and 4 kids, and seeing him so happy and finally at peace swells my fangirl heart. 💖 I’d have given anything to see him with them, and I often wonder what his wife was like. I’ll tell you what though - I doubt she was anything like Donna Reed.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 44

What Is and What Should Never Be/The Impossible Planet

"What Is and What Should Never Be"

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: Considering we START with Sam and Dean? I'm gonna go with no, I just wouldn't survive doing their job

Not to get too into my own shit, but, honestly, that's the first thing I'd do, too...

These family photos are so poorly photo shopped but it's great

Is Carmen gonna get Jessica'd?? Was that Carmen he saw??

It's funny that Dean seems like the kind of guy who definitely mowed many a lawn (not a euphemism), but goddamn...no he hasn't (did a banger job though)

Oh...oh god, it's gonna suck to see this all fucking go away, for him to realize that he can't live here, to have to go back to reality.

Mmmmmmmmm...this. This...is EXCRUCIATING to have to watch. Just heartwrenching.

OH GODDDD. IT'S ALL THE PEOPLE HE AND SAM SAVED. THEY'RE ALL DEAD NOW. And he's being haunted by it.

This is like the first episode all over again. uggggghhhhhhh

OOOMMMGGG Sam got in the car with him...I'm sorry. This episode is nothing but feelings

Now you're getting it, Dean!!

So, to catch everyone up as I only screamed my feelings for forty minutes: Sam and Dean were hunting a djinn, Dean gets caught by it and entered a dream world where Mary never died. Dean's in a stable relationship, Sam and Jess are engaged, everything seems perfect til the cracks start showing (because of course they do). Sam and Dean aren't close, Dean's had some...problems (unspecified), and everyone (quite rightly) keeps looking at Dean like he's gone off the deep end because he has so little memory of this reality. And in the end, Dean has to choose to go back to REAL reality but he can only do that by trying to die within the dream......

"Been On My Mind...": I mean, it's at least implied that alternate universe Dean has slept with alternate universe Dean's girlfriend

"The Impossible Planet"

Omg, right off the bat, they're so cute. Ten and Rose LOVE getting into ALL the trouble together (which...good, they're gonna get all the trouble in this episode and the next)

I can't imagine how terrifying (but exciting) it must be for the Doctor to encounter something that predates the TIME lords

I forgot all the genuinely funny miscommunications between the Ood and our protagonists "We must feed. We must feed. We must feed." But they mean "we must feed our guests something yummy!!" The scariest rendition of Be Our Guest.

The thing about this one (two, really) is that usually it's the Doctor going "okay, but it's real" when people tell him whatever they're doing is impossible. Now, the Doctor is just repeating how impossible this is and the science officer's just "This lump of rock is suspended in perpetual geostationary orbit around that black hole without falling in. Discuss." It's....it's kinda hot.

Not saying that astronauts can't be hot (they are just by job title alone)...but just about everyone on this ship? station? is like...REALLY PRETTY. I'm just saying because there have been so many episodes with people who just look like people, not models.

UUUGGGGHHHHH the way Ten looks at Rose when she jokes that Toby is the station's Chief Dramatist. He knows it's not the right time to actually laugh because lore is being dropped but he wants to, he's really really proud of her.

Also the way the Doctor is so in love with humans because of our natural curiosity just like he has is heartwarming.

Why'd the guy the devil is trying to tempt have to be named Toby? There's little funnier than a disembodied, sinister voice whispering "Toby." You know what it's like? There's a bit that the McElroys did REALLY early on with the name Jeffrey...it's like that bit. Because this voice just keeps saying "Toby" before and/or after most sentences. Toby. Don't turn around, Toby. Toby, I'm right behind you. I'm reaching out, Toby.

Uh oh, you're fucked, now, TOBY

I love these moments when the crew is slowly realizing they're in a sort of horror movie. Sure they've been dealing with The Horrors, but not on THIS level.

I know I joked about this not being a particularly romantic set of episodes, but between the flirting at the beginning, the look the Doctor gave Rose, and talking about a future (which would apparently include a mortgage) together...it's not NOT romantic.

This poor acting captain.

For a being who's been all around time and space and who probably at one point met JRR Tolkien, the Doctor sure doesn't recognize what happens when you dig too deep. Do you want Balrogs? This is how you get Balrogs.

[zmediaoutlet]

happy wincest wednesday💖, today i give you the challenge of naming the 3 episodes that would be the hardest to write first time wincest for. and why. if you feel like explaining.

oooooooooooh coming out swinging with a tough one, okay, I see how we're playing this evening:

well the problem with who I am as a person is that I take anything like that as a Writing Challenge and start going, immediately, well but what if you did x y or z. But I will take it in the spirit meant and also not include any episodes where they're not in the same state or whatever bc that's cheating. So!

8.02 What's Up Tiger Mommy

Why? First of all, ooooh boy this episode. I mean, yeesh. Second: while I think you could go for first time wincest in the previous episode even with the immediate fight that ensues, this where we really start to lean into the episodes where we see how Off the boys are. They're getting along (mostly) in a superficial way but there's a real distance. Sam's defensive; Dean's pissed. At the same time, they're not stressed enough -- for real first time when they aren't in a 'liking each other' period, they need some breaking point moment that makes the transgression feasible. This episode doesn't have it. It does have a whole lot of 'arithmetic is the same thing as intelligence,' though!

9.13 The Purge

Why? Sam's cruel but he's not cruel, and even at his nadir of self-loathing there's a place beyond which I don't think Dean can go. Sam says some SHIT in this ep and Dean takes it because Dean's been taking these beatings as his due, but that last argument is a full-on evisceration, and for the characters to be in-character I just... can't see them taking that step, not then. Even if you did it where, idk, Dean got super shithoused drunk and decided Sam can't hate me any more than he does, can he? Let's see if he cares if I break this last boundary, I can't see Sam going for it. He'd be more likely to push Dean off in a sad/vaguely pitying way and tell him he was drunk. Up to you if it counts as first time, but there are some times that penises just shouldn't get involved, imo.

12.06 Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox

Why? It could happen immediately before, with Dean's radiating delight about killing Hitler (he killed Hitler! imagine Sam's eyerolling fondness!), and it could happen immediately after with Dean comforting Sam after Lucifer reveals his whole omnicidal maniac plan via Jesse's Girl Guy, but that weird blah of a funeral episode seems like a weird spot for me. First of all, way too many people around who know who they are, and who really know who they are. Plus, even if you want to be generous to the ep, its mood is (necessarily) elegiac and strange. They're seen as legends, not as people. Then of course their mother unfortunately shows, and in all the confusion of saving each other and her there's just no elbow room. And even in the space afterward once they've finally ditched her, after whatever breakfast of bacon and awkwardness, I feel like that space just isn't available. They've been too reminded of the social aspect of who they are and for good first time I feel like you need the isolation provided by a world of two. Get back to your lonely bunker, boys, and boink there.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls- Season 2, Episode 16, "There's The Rub", aka a Masterpiece of Gilmore-dom, AKA Forrester Can't Bring Me Down, AKA Jess Rory And Paris Eat Together And All Is Right With The World-Part 2

Before we continue I'd like to acknolwedge the sweet and thoughtful people who have been leaving generous compliments about this shitcircus of a thing I'm doing here. Mwah. Who's ready for more TTR? (PS-Don't forget to check out part 1 and all of the previous episodes I've recapped! You can find them in my pinned post. Tryna work on a new master index in the meantime).

Dean Forrester's reaction to a woman talking. Can I just ask a question? Forrester, why are you even with this girl in the first place? Why did this relationship drag out over the course of five long years? You clearly don't like her. Every word she says seems to bore and annoy you. You don't want to join in any activities with her. She's clearly not gonna have sex with you (yet). You don't respect her or support her in any of her endeavors. Every week you do something to frighten her or make her fear you, and frankly, she's not a big fan of yours either. Truly, what is in it for you? Oh right, it's cause you're using her so you can eventually fuck her Mom. Silly me. Carry on, you sexist worm (no offense to decent worms everywhere).

Rory:

R: Do laundry, and watch tv and eat the Indian food that I love but my mom hates. Can ya'll believe this is an actual exchange of words that is happening right now? They're really going back and forth so Rory can gain Dean's approval to do her laundry. Oh hey, my Gilmore Girls Bingo Card is filling up! We have a "Dean, are you mad?" TIMES TWO.

WHY SHOULD HE BE MAD THAT YOU WANT TO SPEND ONE EVENING WITHOUT HIM. RORY... PLEASE. This is so worrisome.

Idk maybe cause you're a fucking tapeworm? Sorry tapeworms. You're head lice. Your leather coat fucking smells.

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Dear God, Rorygil. I love you but please grow a spine. In the span of mere minutes we saw her cave under pressure from Paris to the point she agreed to tutor her for an entire week, which was totally unnecessary. Paris was asking for like, one evening. A minute later RoryGil caves under pressure from Dean, and now she's talking like she's going to cater to his every (probably sick and perverse) need like some kind of servant, just because he scowled when she said she wanted to do her laundry. THERAPY NOW, RORYGIL.This people-pleasing is wildly out of control. If therapy is not a viable option, just fucking kick Forrester in the nuts and tell Paris to chill because you'll have plenty of time to play Dysfunctional Marriage when you're older and married to each other someday.

(TWWGG is alone in her room, repeatedly saying KICK HIM IN THE NUTS out loud) IT'S OKAY NEIGHBORS. I'M JUST YELLING AT DEAN FORRESTER. FICTIONAL CHARACTER FROM EARLY 2000s TV SITCOM. SLIMY WORM. NOTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT. GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. Let me translate this DeanSpeak for you. I'm a pro. "I'm a saint": "I'm a saint for dating you even though you won't let me do things like come over while your mom is out of town and feel you up on the couch." "I'm confused": "I'm confused as to why you would ever prefer blissful solitude over giving me an awkward handjob on your Mom's couch." You know, if you weren't enough of a worm as it is, you probably fucking pressure her sexually too. Me singing to Dean Forrester:

Is a kissing coach a thing? Couldn't someone at the WB Network put aside a couple of bucks to teach Jared Padalecki how to kiss? Barring that, at least a blow up doll or pillow to practice on? The fault CLEARLY does not lie with Alexis Bledel.

Can you imagine you're AB, you fucking get paid to kiss Milo at work and if that wasn't enough, you're really dating him, so you leave your job where you got paid to kiss him all day and go kiss him some more at home... I think about this A LOT. Cut to Emily and Lorelai at the spa, where hell has apparently frozen over because Lorelai Gilmore has actually shut the hell up. Me trying to make small talk on a first date:

HA, someone won't shut up and leave you alone and is constantly invading your personal space! How about them apples, Lorelai!

What is this magical place called a "Quiet Room" and can I shove any gilmore girls character of my choosing in there at any time? L: Mom, you booked us for a couples massage. Do you know what most couples do 5 minutes after this is over? They have sex, together, probably while wearing their robes. Someone on Gilly Girls said S-E-X. I am scandalized! E: You've been pouting, sighing, sulking, mumbling, rolling your eyes the whole time. L: That's just how I detox. LMAO. What a stellar line. This episode is so great. Despite the presence of Forrester the Worm.

Whoa Nelly! What kind of cosmic alignment was in place that day for Lorelai to actually apologize for something?

Err, two things... Firstly: Mr. Peanut Pajamas. I always love Rory's pajamas and I wonder where they all came from. Secondly: Is Rory running a laundry service for all 9,000+ citizens of Stars Hollow out of her home? Five days a week she wears a school uniform. Where did all these clothes come from?

I love it when Paris shows up on Rory's door step, she always looks like an abandoned puppy looking for a home for the night. And she sort of is. P: I tried to stay home and study by myself! But I can't! There is this aching in my heart that I just cannot ignore! It grows louder and louder by the minute! Rory Gilmore, I love you! Will you marry me? Okay, so I made up everything past the first line, but you know she was thinking it.

Paris guilt trips Rory into letting her stay because Rory feels bad that Paris' parents don't love her. Poor RoryGil. Just let her LIVE. R: Fine I'll study with you for one hour then you have to go home!

Narrator: Paris Geller would not in fact, be going home, but her NotGoingHomeNess would make for one enchanted evening.

Literally puppy eyes! This is after Rory said they would start studying after she got changed, and Paris responded "My hour doesn't start until you get back, right?" To be continued.
