#no one asked for this BUT

[nullshocked]

I was talking about it to friends last night so uhhhh jacktash meta for sillies!

Jack and Gortash have a kind of antagonistic relationship at the start. Gortash wants to control him, and Jack resents being controlled. Gortash learns how to push Jack's buttons and goad him into a reaction. Jack gets flustered and frustrated by his this mortal cretin manages to get under his skin so easily.

They do become less antagonistic as time passes, but their relationship is kind of a strange one. I think saying it's love isn't really accurate (though Jack would say that yes, he's in love with Enver), but something close to it. They do care about one another, but they're so deeply damaged by their respective upbringing that it's impossible to express that in a healthy way.

In effect, Gortash kind of views Jack as this dangerous creature that he wants to control and dominate, and he tends to express that in physical ways: grabbing Jack's chin to tilt his head up, guiding him by the small of his back or his arm. Physical, but subtle gestures of control and ownership.

Jack wants to believe he is above letting anyone have power over him, but he's also so desperate for affection and approval that he's willing to surrender himself. He resents Gortash for treating him like a trophy but also deeply desires recognition from him.

They try to make each other better, but they really only kind of enable each other's worst impulses.

So i’ve unofficially called the last 12 months/year “the year i watched supernatural” because honesty it’s just a better way to face the last 12 months. Anyway here’s my unrequested thoughts on supernatural. 

It helped heal my religious trauma lol. (also spoilers)

Things i LOVED

The sibling trope/dynamic from the first couple seasons. Whenever they put cosmic importance on siblings i ate that shit up. That’s so fun. 

The vessel sagas. See above but Michael possessing Dean to kill Lucifer who’s possessing Sam??? Fucking love it. That’s so great. Also trying to force (aka torture) sam to accept Lucifer? Fantastic. 

The canonical answer that ‘god likes Sam and Dean so he gives them stupid hero luck”. I love that. That they didn’t get flat tires or sick or whatever while he liked them because he was watching out for their lactose intolerant asses. 

The SCOOBY DOO EPISODE. ENOUGH SAID AMAZING I LOVE 

The yellowed eye man plot. I know it’s like the first one but GOD i love everything about that arc. Sam’s visions?? The episode where the demon transports a bunch of them to test them?? Hell yeah

All the possessions. They were so fun. 

ALL THE EXPERIMENTAL WEIRD EPISODES. Like when they’re just office coworkers?? When they go to our world? That’s so fucking fun. 

That one scene when Crowley tortures that one pizza delivery angel? Fuck those are the best whumperflies in visusal format for me. Hell yeah. 

Things i liked 

Cass teleporting so randomly. 

The idea that humans made ‘gods’ like the old gods because wanted something to worship. Nice i like that take. 

“Squirrel and Moose” as nicknames. 

Demon traps and the little tattoos that keep them from being possessed. Very visual symbols. Also the black eye blink. Iconic.

Bobby 

The bunker (not the men of letters… just the bunker) 

How they used the same motel set and just changed the wallpaper and the room divider. I missed the hotel rooms. 

Garth 

Sam’s health conscious streak 

Nick as lucifer was so fun to watch. I was genuinely a bit sad when lucifer was possessing someone else/died. 

The gate to heaven is in a children’s playground. That’s funny, it feels irreverent, love it. 

Prophets. I like the prophets. 

GHOSTFACERS 

Don’t kill me i think i liked the last episode 

Things i hated/didn’t like 

The steins. Oh my god i had to stop watching. God we understand. We got it. Please don’t spell it out like that it hurt to watch 

The men of letters as legacy. They should have just found the bunker and been like “this is mine now”. The men of letters as a thing? Meh okay fine. 

Rowena never fully grew on me. Her accent sounded so fake the entire time i was half expecting her to drop it one day and be like “oh it was for fun” 

Oz. God, just stick to the bible. 

The needless double casting. Specifically chuck being god. I like chuck as a prophet, i love that they fought god, but chuck being god? Stupid. Annoying. Damaged the plot of the show. Should have just cast another dude to play god. 

The parallel universes. Meh leave it 

The episode in the girls highschool where they made a supernatural play. I had to skip that episode too cringy 

Sam’s beard 

The Campbell family was DUMB. Dumb and made no sense. 

Cass in “the empty”.... Just… what. If felt rushed and wrong and maybe it didn’t even stick?? IDK just weird and bad. 

The mark of cain was tiring. Okay concept but tiring and non too interesting.  

Mary coming back. That was weird. 

The british men of letters 

Sam in old man wig

Overall more things i enjoyed than hated but that is because im a positive little son of a bitch. Anyway rating is like 8/10 if you know what you’re getting into.

Anyway time to start watching season one again.

Custom Desktop Blog Tutorial

Hi to all my new followers! A lot of you don't have a desktop blog and while that's okay I totally recommend you make one !!

Its fun, it helps with organizing posts, and you can decorate it however you want even with very little HTML knowledge. If you have any questions feel free to ask me :)

Anyways lets get started!

First your settings are hiding under the person icon in the top right corner. You'll be brought to your account pannel.

At the bottom of the menu on the right, you'll have a list of your blogs. I have 4 of them. Click on the blog you want to adjust (I recommend doing this for every blog!) and you'll see this screen.

You may be familiar with this page. You can also edit your mobile theme from here. Just toggle enable a custom theme. You're gonna instantly have a custom URL (your-blog-url.tumblr.com) that enables you to customize your blog, access your archive (your-blog-url.tumblr.com/archive), and it'll be 1000 times easier to sort tags. If you click Edit theme you'll see a page like this.

Tumblr has premades that you can look at under the Browse Themes button in the top left, but if youre feeling adventurous, I recommend using themes made by tumblr users! There are so many free options I've used glenthemes forever, because they are so clean and easy to use. You can always look under the #theme for new ones, or look for the credit on other blogs you like for new ones ! Have fun customizing!!

@whitenoface i love lilia, would be on my knees for him 💀 but i will always be bitter at his lack of forethought of how worried and hurt silver would be. BUT IT'S FINE THEY HAVE A CUTE HEARTWARMING MOMENT IN SILVER'S VIGNETTE

ok i don't know how much of this counts as a spoiler for en players SO UNDER THE CUT IT GOES

I WAS SO UPSET?? like what the hell, lilia! you have this boy who you have raised from infancy, who's already known loss in a way that no child should have to bear growing up, WHO ALREADY REACTED POORLY UPON LEARNING YOU WEREN'T BLOOD RELATIVES, and who practically adores the ground you walk on— you let him believe you had been kidnapped?? or that even worse happened to you, thanks to the way he heard you scream??

and then to have the gall to pretend to be possessed (which to be fair, silver was prepared to fight and bring him back) BUT LILIA WASN'T ALL ALONG? HE SLAPPED SILVER WHEN SILVER WAS COMING TO HIM OUT OF SUCH CONCERN AND WORRY?? like he DID THAT!

honestly they didn't let silver go off like he should have, he was completely justified to be so upset at his father and malleus for endangering them all with such a ridiculous prank

what if silver had been possessed by the ghosts, lilia, huh??? what then?? would it still have been funny????

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

[sunbentshadows]

So, about that outage, huh

[haroldhighballjordan]

sometimes I randomly think about the time a girl posted in this girls only Facebook group I’m in telling everyone how she broke up with her boyfriend and he lied saying that he lost the spare key she gave him, only to then break into her apartment when she wasn’t home and steal the cat they’d adopted while they were together, but then he denied having done this and she didn’t really have proof that he took the cat since he wouldn’t let her come into his place and look for it. And then another girl saw this post and knew her ex-boyfriend, and she was like “girl. I used to hook up with your mans back in xxxx and I still have his number. If you want, I’ll hit him up and get him to invite me back to his place and see if your cat’s there.” And the OP was like “bet.”

So this woman hit up homie dog, asked him out for drinks, went home with him, slept with him, and then woke up in the middle of the night and TOOK THE CAT. Like she had only said that she would confirm if the cat was there but then she took it upon herself to steal this woman’s cat back. Like she full on Trojan horsed this man and then hit up homegirl like “I got the goods. Where you wanna meet.” And then the two of them posted a photo of them together with the cat to the group.

And I just think women supporting women is so beautiful.

I love how they blindly trust the MC
