Coming to terms with being a wincest shipper

The first time I read a fic with wincest in it, it was completely by accident? Like, I’m not even joking, I had never even considered reading about it before. Ofc I noticed all the little looks and the sexual innuendos between the two, but it never crossed my mind that other people had. So, anyway. Back then I was still very much in denial about finding it hot, bc who wasn’t in denial at first? 😅 So the fic. It was a destiel (yes, I ship both destiel and wincest, shoot me.), or it was supposed to be. It starts off with Cas and Dean in college, I can’t remember if they were just friends and Cas was in love with him or if they actually started dating, but either way, not all that important. Dean moves his baby brother (Sammy, duh) into his dorm room after something happens with their family (I can’t remember if John dies or if he’s just abusive and Dean can’t let it continue happening to Sam, it’s been years since I read this) and Cas gets incredibly jealous. Every time Sam shows up in the fic (which is nearly every scene with Dean in it) Cas’ jealousy increases. He gaslights himself, trying to convince himself that there can’t be anything going on between the two, they’re brothers for crying out loud! After months (I think it was months) of acting cold towards Sam, he finally gaslights himself enough to really convince himself that nothing is going on between the two, so he goes to Dean’s dorm to apologize to Sam for how he’d previously acted. He really thinks he’s crazy for being so mean to Sam for something that was all a figment of his own imagination, he must be crazy, right? Well, upon walking into the dorm room, he finds Sam and Dean doing the do. It’s obvious that the writer of the fic wants you as the reader to feel disgusted and repulsed by this revelation, wants you to feel it’s criminal, seeing as that is exactly how Cas feels and acts. Cas even calls the police and gets Dean arrested and the two separated. Which, being the reader, I was trying to convince myself that I also saw that as repulsive and criminal, but I didn’t. And that, my friends, is how an anti-shipper showed me that I really fucking liked wincest. Anyway, how did yall first come to terms with your love for wincest?

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

Starving and wasting away etc etc

bonus:

Hes tall and huge and HEAVY and he is so overly active that he has to maintain an insanely high caloric intake to make sure his body doesnt collapse from the strain of everything. He will eat virtually anything but he is spoiled from the best takeout Gotham has to offer: 11$ shrimp and broccoli from the chinese food spot that closes at 4am- among other things.

Do you think of me?

“Back at home my wife awaits for me. She’s my everything; my Penelope.”

Throughout the Odyssey, Odysseus had placed Penelope at a high pedestal. His devotion so ground breaking that he’s willing to go through so many lengths to meet his wife — a being so pure and bright in his eyes.

As years go on, Odysseus only sees her as this beam of hope, talking of himself as a tainted figure in comparison; unable to find any reason to push forward if it were not for his Polaris. Ultimately having situations, like in the musical, where he begs for Penelope in his dreams to see him as no different to the man she once loved. In fear that if he does come back, he had become too corrupt and disproportionate for her to recognize.

Mind that I like to think he had forgotten that time has changed her too — making her wiser and more cunning. The Penelope he talks of when influencing himself and others is only a still portrait of her younger self from when he had left Ithaca.

its so crazy that for the last 5 years a small but annoyingly vocal online group has been acting like mob movies of all things are pretentious and inaccessible cinema. yeah the godfather is kinda slow but these are movies about criminals who shoot people
