#nonverbal communication *chefs kiss*

[quadruple-a]

I’m rewatching Wednesday on Netflix and I got to the parents weekend episode. And I just LOVE the character of Enid’s dad SO MUCH! Like the man says a grand total of like 8 words, and still conveys so much! As a communications major, I just love all the attention to nonverbal communication!!Mad props to the actor Ryan Elllsworth and everyone who worked behind the scenes!

11/10 would use as an example in an essay

[thecosmiccrow]

I am loving your MD headcanons/art btw. Giving blorbos animalistic traits is just chefs kiss

YES YES I LOVE LITTLE TRAITS LIKE THAT. I LOVE WAYS OF NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION IT SCRATCH BRAIN GOODLY

here have some small ones idk if ive said yet:

Uzi’s tail often sees N before Uzi does whenever he enters somewhere behind her. She knows he’s there because her tail just TUGS on her to go say hi to N.

The reason it likes him so much is partly because Uzi adores him and it knows that, and partly because whenever it goes up to him of its own volition, he just pets it like a dog.

It also likes to grab at his tail a bunch. Its really careful about his stinger (it punctured itself on it once, leading to it being in N’s mouth, which it did NOT enjoy). It just actively snuggles up to the vial and tries to initiate play, despite N’s tail not being alive like Uzi’s is.

N refers to it as “little buddy.” Uzi calls it “that thingie,” or just “my tail.” They’ve brainstormed other, proper names for it but nothing else ever stuck.

N’s hat has teeth marks in it from Uzi’s tail just gnawing on it. It also shoves its snout into his coat’s neck fluff.

oops this ended up just being tail hcs. oopsies, sorry not sorry!

anyways have phone photo of unfinished uzi art that i have no idea how to shade

taken at school gym as i am sitting down. i got whacked in the face with a basketball

Is there anything special/unique about Meronia that you’ve never found in another ship?

honestly this is gonna sound buck wild but like, they're the top ship ive ever seen that is 100% INCREDIBLE at non verbal communication. Like 90% of their problems are when they're talking to each other or others, however the real like *chefs kiss* moments with them are when they're not talking, or not even around each other.

like my favorite example is their execution of well, when mello died (although i do have so many ways he could have survived for fanon fun). Near didnt ask for help, Mello didnt tell Near what to do. His communication was through his action, his kidnapping of Takeda. Near almost immediately understood his thought process and acted quickly and accordingly. Unlike a lot of other ships that have to communicated and work through stuff as a team, they have the unique ability to move as one without a single word to each other.

That level of understanding each other is something I've never been able to find in another ship. I have a hard time rping or writing them (despite how much i like doing it sometimes, always hmu for rp) because if I were to do it 100% true to how I see them, they'd be sitting in silence with each other a lot, or even not even see each other often. They're so unique that I dont think they even need to be around each other a lot to just know that they love each other. Hell, I hc that they love each other in canon just never talk about it. gah sorry I could go on and on about their nonverbal communication haha

[satancopilotsmytardis]

My heart was already in pieces now it's been chucked out the window a swept into the bin. I was tortured by this chapter in the best possible way.

I feel so bad for both of them, like Shiggy fully believes Dabi won't ever reciprocate his feelings, but mixing is usually not a good thing and now Dabi just thinks it's was part of the play and ughhhhh my heart

But the inclusion of both their verbal and nonverbal safewords with the constant check in's throughout the whole scene was *chefs kiss* and also really appreciated in those heavier scenes. As always thank you and I hope you had and have fun!

I'm sorry about the damage sustained to your heart, to Shigaraki's heart, (to Dabi's heart), but unfortunately, I also feed on suffering! I'm sure that they'll be able to work things out, clear communication is the name of the game!

And the game has to be safe for everyone playing! It was really important to me to make sure that those signals were used throughout the entire scene to make sure that everyone (characters and reader alike) was on the same page and that things didn't get pushed too far! I'm glad that they helped!

Noot Noot

Book: Perfect Match

Pairing: Sloane Washington & Hazel Park (f!black MC) (platonic), Sloane Washington & Iris Young (f!Asian Hayden) (platonic).

Rating: G

Summary: While recovering from a nasty flu, Sloane revisits a childhood favourite TV show with her friends.

Word count: 1,183 words

A/N: I kinda HC Sloane as growing up on Pingu, a British-Swedish stop motion animated classic. It was a fave of mine as a kid, and I later found out that many autistic kids - esp those who use more nonverbal communication - are fond of it.

Tagging @choicesficwriterscreations for Fic of the Week and @choices-february2023 for their February prompt as well as @sloanewashingtonappreciationweek

Using @choices-february2023 prompt for Day 4: Harmony | Homemade Soup | So What (P!nk)

"You two should go home now," Sloane grumbles, her voice almost muffled underneath her Milky Way Galaxy blanket. "I'm fine, really."

And she isn't lying. She hasn't suffered a fever in four days now, and though her throat still feels sore, the sandpaper sensation of using her voice doesn't burn as ferociously as it did a week ago.

Residual throatache and general tiredness. That's all that's left of this awful flu.

Iris ignores her. "Hazel, honey, put on some Pingu," she calls out, frowning over a pot of steaming chicken soup. "'Pingu the Chef' is her favourite."

Hazel's head is buried inside her cupboard of old keepsakes from her mom's home. "Coming!" She yells back to Iris, holding a well-worn penguin in her hand.

She tosses it playfully in the direction of Sloane's bed. "What did you finally name this one?"

Sloane has only enough energy to offer a weak smile. "Katie Bouman." She doesn't remember what she'd named it when Mom gave it to her. "To keep you company at your first ever Space Camp," she'd said, brushing a soft kiss over her forehead. They'd both been so nervous then. Little Trudy had never stayed overnight away from home, away from Mom.

It was one of the few things Sloane took back with her when she'd visited Mom a few years ago, just before Khaan and the group set in motion their plans to defeat Eros. Sloane shivers as she remembers her sense of dread that day, wondering if this would be the last time she'd ever visit this room. How she swallowed the lump in her throat when she saw the worry in Mom's eyes, the questions Sloane couldn't bring herself to answer.

Hazel frowns at Sloane's involuntary shudder, enfolding her in her thick blanket and tucking Katie into her weak arms.

The two settle back on the bed, backs against the bedstand, as the titular little penguin throws corn kernels into a hot pan. His baby sister watches, jumping up and down when the yellow seeds puff up and turn white.

"What?" Hazel mouths when she sees Sloane silently giggling. She covers her mouth, already anticipating one of her favourite parts in the episode; Pingu's sister fooling her brother into looking away before stealing his share of kernels.

Pingu stares for a second at the empty pan, then glares after his baby sister, his beak already stretching to form the shape of a trumpet horn.

"Noot noot!"

Hazel guffaws, slapping her thigh. "He looks so cute when he does that."

Sloane's laughter is significantly fainter, yet carries the same note of joy and amusement. "Mom says when I first started watching Pingu, I wouldn't stop saying 'noot noot' for a whole month."

Iris comes out of the kitchen as she says this, bowl of soup in hand. Sloane breathes in the scent of roasted garlic emanating from it with a sigh of pleasure. On Sloane's laptop screen, Pingu takes out an obscenely large amount of corn kernels and throws them in a far larger pot.

"It's a very versatile word," Hazel says, grinning, "You could say it when you're excessively happy... excessively distressed..."

"... excessively pissed off at annoying younger siblings who steal your food from right under your nose..." Iris adds, winking in Sloane's direction. Hazel is surprisingly quiet in the middle of all the teasing.

Sloane has enough energy to half-heartedly elbow Iris in the ribs. "You damn well deserved a few noot noots for nicking my Ben&Jerry tub on your first day here."

Iris looks all injured innocence. "I didn't do that, Dipper did."

"Very nice, very 'the dog ate my homework', Iris," Hazel mocks gently, rolling her eyes at her girlfriend before looking at Sloane. "Did you always do that?"

"Do what?" Sloane takes slow, lingering sips of her soup, savoring its warmth. Pingu and his sister are now panicking over a mile-long trail of popcorn strewn over their kitchen floor.

"Repeat phrases no matter the context? In some of the childhood stories you've told me so far, you'd done that with other words."

Echolalia, the first therapist they'd met had told Mom. She likes repeating the words, but is yet to grasp their meaning. That last thought is more imagination than memory; all she can truly recall from that visit were the tiny farm animals she had sorted in a row on a playmat, by order of height.

"Yeah," Sloane whispers, her smile a tiny bit wider as she watches Pingu take boxes of freshly made popcorn on his sled, going from house to house, using his overzealous mistake to feed an entire polar neighborhood. "I always thought of words in terms of sounds first. The more I liked the sound of something, the more I'd use it whether I knew the meaning or not. You had to show me a visual, over and over again until I connected the two, if you wanted me to understand what a word meant. It took Mom a little time to realize that."

Sloane smiles at the sight the three of them must make right now, watching a childhood favourite on a bed surrounded by all the interests and all the achievements of her adulthood. The first time she'd watching this show, Mom had been curious. She'd never shown much interest in watching anything for more than a couple minutes, making going to the cinema almost an impossibility.

But this show, with its adorable clay penguin figures who spoke a language she didn't need to understand and who forced her to read their body language instead...this show was different. This show grabbed her attention and wouldn't let go. This show stayed with her long after she stopped binge-watching it, growing into a lifelong interest in real-life penguins.

She looks up at her best friends, both so different in their body language yet so familiar. Hazel's limbs are sprawled over her bed in a sort of casual grace, as if she is owning the space. Iris rests her chin on her right knee, her head tilted as she often does when she's thinking deeply about the media she's watching. Sloane feels a frisson of familiarity as she watches her - in so many ways they're so similar; sometimes Sloane wonders how much of herself she's incorporated into Iris. There are moments when looking at her is like looking at a mirror - the same responses on a drastically different face.

Even now, if Sloane tries hard enough, she knows that some of the ways she reads people's reactions can be vaguely traced to that stressful - yet indescribably exciting - exercise of trying to understand what Pingu was doing, what Pingu was saying, what Pingu was feeling.

"Mm," Iris says, grinning as Sloane finishes off her soup. She's been showing better appetite today than she has the whole week. "looks like they managed to clear out all that excess popcorn, eh?"

Sloane smiles back. Pingu drives his sled through the snow from house to house, his beak morphing into the shape of a trumpet horn as he announces his arrival. In a sound that is no longer annoyance, or anger - but excitement.

Noot noot!

* Katie Bouman is a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard who helped develop the code to find the black hole needle in the haystack of data collected from the effort.

** You can watch the episode of Pingu mentioned here.

*** Echolalia is one of the things that some autistic kids grow up with. Some are nonverbal in their communication, and some may not always engage in meaningful communication although they do attempt speech. Echolalia involves a tendency to repeat words or phrases while not understanding the meaning, eg. A child repeating someone's question instead of answering it. I HC Sloane as having speech delays as a child, that initially didn't go noticed because she was echoing words she heard.

[hard-core-super-star]

“explain” why I liked your fic is too strong, I tried lmao.

but I think I've come to a conclusion!! Keyword: think. I think the subtle way you framed past relationships as a problem and how that naturally affects the characters but they get around these problems together and Kate is willing to help R even if they don't exactly say it out loud, like, they may have talked about it at some point before but not at that moment. they know each other well and seem to know each other's minds, which leads to connection and nonverbal communication about the topic in a smooth way that works for their development and the story itself. I think that's why I like your fics in general, there's always a “problem” even if it's not something big, but it reflects on the characters' dynamics and although others fics have the same formula, you seem to make it all flow naturally with the amount of information necessary, not too massive and not too “dry”. Literally that thing about sharing information in a mysterious way kajsksjwja. okay, I see it and you're right, I'll try not to collapse.

ALSO- This is

NOT

what it seems!! WHY you're making me dirty??? I already apologized for the aquaman thing 😭 (yeah, it's really obvious in your writing lmao. I usually read a lot of angst, fluff, a sincere romance, anything, but if you take one of those things and put it with a well-written and developed smut and mix in a blender I go feral because it's simply *chef's kiss*)

– 🌟

your first "explanation" was more than enough to make me all mushy and now you're giving me another one??? with even more details??? i- i think it's my turn to turn into a literal star because how am i supposed to function now? no one's ever analyzed my writing like this so forgive me for being a mess, idk how to act anymore 🥺

i am once again attempting to pull myself together to not look like a total fool. unfortunately, it's not working because how tf did you manage to see through my writing and into my mind??? like yeah. i can't come up with anything to say because you've absolutely got it. i don't always outright state what the conflict is but i always try to show it in the interactions, which is probably why red belt [and now for your love] remains one of my favorite [and dare i say best 👀] fics. the focus remains on the characters [mainly kate because i can't help it] and their feelings, both spoken and unspoken. [i think i just restated everything you said but i tried to expand on your thoughts]

ALSO, i'm not doing anything, you're the one who only listed smut fics, what else am i supposed to do with that information? [i didn't say it above but thank you for all the nice things you've said about my writing. i get very into my own head about everything i write, especially my smut fics, so i really appreciate it. i also always worry i'm info-dumping in most of my fics so you saying it all flows naturally means a lot]

What are your favorite Sterek fics on archiveofourown?

Okay so here’s the deal! I’m mostly a podfic person, so most of my favorite sterek fics I actually listened to, rather than read. Because it’s a different experience that just reading the stories with your eyes, for those of these that I listened to as podfics, I’m gonna just go ahead and link the podfic. That being said, I know many people are not into podfic and that is totally cool, so if podfic is not your thing, just find wherever on the podfic page it says ‘Inspired by ______’ and click that to go to the original written work. Also be aware that I’m a lover of angst and my choices most definitely reflect that ehehe.

Safety in Silence

It’s a genius take on soulmates. Like 99% of soulmates fics are like, they meet, there is a mishap, they decide to give things a try and live happily ever after. Which is great and I thoughoughly enjoy. But this is like taking that and twisting it into years of delicious angst. I think about this fic SO frequently.

Stand Fast in Your Enchantments

Sterek with nonverbal communication is actually my favorite thing ever (see also: Don’t Speak, later on this list). It’s just so good and I won’t spoil it but you’ve got magic Stiles and shifted Derek and it’s just incredible.

The Threat of Human Sacrifice

The most tender Derek Hale of all the Derek Hales. Mpreg, but listen I don’t read mpreg all that often and this is still one of my all time favorite fics in ANY fandom I’ve been in. If you listen to it, do yourself a favor and make sure you listen to the chapters in order (unlike a CERTAIN DUMBASS. ((me.)))

Misfire

Do I still, not infrequently, fall asleep imagining different ways this could’ve gone? Yes. All of the stiles-briefly-goes-back-in-time fics that I’ve read have been great, but this one. Ohhhhh this one. So so so good. If the ending sits the wrong way with you, I’ve been told the sequel(s?) are meant to help with that, but aaaa it’s so good as is.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words (which actually DOES have a podfic that I’d highly recommend, but since it’s still unfinished, that’s a link to the finished text.)

The longest fic on this list by far, but WOW it doesn’t even feel like it. As you might expect, it’s pretty slow burn, but it’s a rare find in that it is super long, but also interesting the whole way through AND cohesive. Extremely enjoyable read for me. Magic Stiles, mute Derek. (another one that features nonverbal communication)

No Homo

It’s a classic okay just go read it. Everything by this author is stellar and amazing. (Note, the author took her works off ao3, but the Podfic is there so this counts as being on archiveofourown lmao. If you want the written work I’ll find a link for you elsewhere)

Also it’s been awhile since I read it but I’m pretty sure Don’t Speak deserves a place on my favorites.

I fall, I fall, I falter is the short/smutty fic I reread the most because I fking love angst. (Not the happiest ending though fair warning. Not like BAD, but ya know.)

Also if we’re talking smut, I don’t really go in for non-con but I DO go in for dub-con, and Lap Magnet and Build an Ivory Tower are just *chefs kiss*

Also I think about Sell Your Body to The Night quite a lot. One of those really great fics that’s long AND has a variety of detailed smut but also an actual plot that makes you care about them.

I also love Blushing Pretty for something a little sweeter.

Being Found and sequel Finding I think are really special cause I really love how intimate they are.

And I’ll stop with Second Chances which is really short and sweet and I liked it so much I recorded it! It was my first public podfic!

I could literally go on forever (and I realize many of these are sterek classics so if you were looking for slightly lesser-known fics I can add to this lol). There are definitely some I’m forgetting too, if I remember I’ll add them. Enjoy!!!!

[chaos-writes]

Do you write for Stain from My Hero Academia, and if yes, may I ask for some soft headcanons of Stain x reader? Thank you :)

IM SUCH A STAIN SIMP I PROMISE I WILL DO YOU JUSTICE!!!!!! Warning for some slight angst but other than that SUPER FLUFFY!

So this man has been proven to be like 7 feet tall with good posture. And not only that, but he is one big block of muscle. So, cuddles are THE best. This man is just *chef's kiss* especially when it comes to cuddles. Since he doesn't spend a whole lot of time with you, he makes the best of every second he spends with you.

BIG SPOON!!!!!!! let him hold you and curl up around you!

So protective. Like... kind of a yandere at heart? He doesn't want to put you in a situation where you're stuck with him, but he does want to protect you from any danger and helps you avoid it as much as possible. He will NOT take you to his hideout and will most likely "move in" with you if you have your own place.

Sometimes he feels like he's burdening you and isn't allowing you to live a normal life, since he's one of the most wanted men in Japan and you're literally harboring a criminal. Please remind him of how much you love him and you are willing to go wherever you need to be in order to be with him.

Tell him he's handsome!!! He doesn't have to be complimented or accept praise, but it would absolutely make him feel so warm inside! And he would immediately return it along with a hug, hand holding, or forehead kiss.

PDA is not really a thing, considering he can't even show his face to the public, but if he takes you out at night to watch the stars atop a building, he'll wrap a blanket around you, sit you in his lap, and hold you with one arm while pointing out planets, constellations, and satellites with the other.

His favorite foods are dumplings, takoyaki, and some southern comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, slow-cooker soups and chilis in bread bowls, and seafood boils. (Mmmmm)

Give this man some nutrition, he is TIRED of not having the resources to be able to cook some decent food for himself. He's got a lot of muscle that he has to keep healthy!

His love languages (as previously established) are words of affection and physical contact. He will tell you, no matter what you're doing, that you're doing a great job and you are so beautiful/handsome/gorgeous.

His smile is so beautiful! Make him laugh and giggle, tickle him, play fight, be goofy, or even give him boops (pre-nose obliteration, his chin works too lmao)

He is THE man to go to when you need comfort. And hopefully you can return that and comfort him when HE needs it. It can't just be a one-sided relationship, you know. >:(

Family man!!! He would adore your family if you ever introduced the two, as long as they don't know what Hero Killer Stain looks like. He tries his best to impress them, combing his hair back into a low bun (hot ✋😤), wear a nice black sweater and some new pants, and some dress shoes. If you buy him a nice outfit he's going to wear it to meet your family.

Speaking of Hero Killer Stain, he loves pet names. Chizome, chi-chan, honeybun, sweetness, darling, honey, or any other variations. He'll call you something romantic, like darling, my love, my world, and on the rare occasion if youre being goofy with him, silly or goofball.

He won't let you touch his knives. They are coated in other people's blood and you could get infections or diseases >:(

He also showers, brushes his teeth, and gets rid of the blood smell thoroughly before laying down to snuggle with you.

Will actually melt if you play with his hair. Chizome is actually SO in love with scalp massages. He would fall asleep on yo u with a blush creeping across his face in SECONDS. But dont talk about it unless you don't wanna do it again.

He would die if you wore some of his clothes. Like one of his shirts or something thrown on right when you wake up in the morning is the most gorgeous sight to him. You'll be standing in the kitchen trying to make some coffee and he won't stop pestering you with hugs and kisses until you return said hug and kiss.

There is a lot of nonverbal communication and understanding between the two of you as well. It just... clicks with him.

House work is not really his strong suit but he loves to help. The last thing he needs is a stressed and tired S/O when he comes home from missions.

Hand holding is so frequent you might as well be fused together 🤷‍♀️. It just comes with Chizome's territory.

Above all, his adoration for you goes wayyyyy beyond your appearance. Although you are so gorgeous in his eyes, your personality, soul, mindset, and the way you treat him is what floored his interest in you. He loves you more than life itself, there's no denying it, so please return that love and be nice to him. Mans deserves it.

autistic sunny hcs make me so happy ,,, do you have any 👉👈 /lh

I don’t know what /lh is....nonnie reveal thy secrets!! But also for you here’s some more *mwah* chefs kiss autistic sunny HC. It is best headcanon

Sunny has one brand of colored pencils that he likes to draw with. They come presharpened so he doesn’t have to sharpen them (The sound is just no) they don’t get dull super easy, the colors are muted but nice, and he adores them to death. Kel gets him a new pack every year for his birthday and christmas because he always dulls them down within six months. Rather than have to sharpen them, he just uses the brand new pack

This also ties into Sunny collects things because he keeps all of his half used color pencils. he has dozens at this point

Also when Sunny was little he was nonverbal (more so than he is now) but he used his drawings as a way to communicate. Mari would sit with him and look at his drawings and she always knew what he was saying with them

Stim toys are not something Sunny ever had access to before, but Aubrey gets him some as a random present. She gets him a bat chew necklace and he always wears it. 

This is also how Sunny finds out that Aubrey knows that he’s autistic

Well Sunny doesn’t even know he’s autistic, but he knows that Aubrey knows he’s different. She sits next to him as he fidgets with it in his fingers and feels out the textures and she doesn’t say anything. 

He leans against her though and she wraps her arm around him so it’s good. She says You’re Welcome to his silent thank you 

Basil’s backyard is a little overwhelming for Sunny because it has so many different smells and colors and it’s hot because it has some greenhouse stuff, but he likes to visit Basil

Basil finds a work around and he creates a corner of the greenhouse that is specifically for him and Sunny. The only thing he grows there is white tulips and there’s a nook under a tree so most of the other colors are blocked. 

It’s perfect and it’s one of Sunny’s favorite spots in existence.

SPOILERS FOLLOW It was just as solid as Season 1, but with the Love Triangle and intense emotions ramped up to 11.  And our boy Yaguchi finally coming to terms with his genuine feelings for Akira Ono.  Though it takes a girl (Koharu Hidaka) to explain another girl’s actions & emotions (Ono) for our Main Character to avoid the “Sad End” of this choose-your-own adventure drama in the gripping Season Finale, because I made the same erroneous assumption as Yaguchi.

Hats off to the English voice actress for Koharu Hidaka, Erika Harlacher...that final scene is so powerful and full of emotion as she berates Yaguchi and tells him what Ono really meant.  He rushes off to Narita to prove his love to Ono while Hidaka bursts into tears, her heart breaking all over again.  The young man she loves loves another and she just helped her rival because she knows they’re meant for each other and she wants them to be happy.  She wants love to win, even if she temporarily loses.  Cements for me that Koharu Hidaka is a genuinely good person.

I’ve never read the Hi Score Girl manga, so I can’t state this definitively for sure, and I don’t know if even the manga addresses it...but it dawned on me in the final episodes of Season 2....what if Akira Ono is herself autistic and nonverbal?  I just assumed she was taciturn, laconic & stubborn...and that her sudden violent outbursts were for comedic effect.  They are played for comedy, but when you look at Akira through the interpretive lens of her being a nonverbal autistic girl, suddenly her weird flashes of anger and violence have a context...she gets angry because she’s FRUSTRATED...she wants desperately to communicate with Yaguchi but she can’t do so by talking.  If she could she would, but she can’t and it drives her to bite him and swing her fists sometimes.  When this realization dawned on me it made the story so much sadder for me, and I found myself being so much more forgiving of Akira and feeling sorry for her plight.  She communicates by body language and her expressive eyes and facial expressions.  Both girls manage to get Yaguchi to spend the night with them in a hotel bed...completely chastely in each case but a mark of increasing intimacy.  But Yaguchi allows & accepts Akira’s small gestures of physical intimacy...holding his hand, pressing her body up against him, looking lovingly into his eyes.

The final race to the airport and reunion scene is even more emotionally intense than their first separation in their Middle School years.  They affirm their love openly for each other, embracing tightly while the tears flow from both of them.  Yaguchi expresses his determination to follow Akira to Los Angeles and stay by her side forever as her rival and the love of her life.  She has to depart for now, but this is not the end.  The game has merely shifted to the next stage......ahhh.  *Chef’s Kiss*

My Family Can't Even With My Dramatic Ass: SPN 15x09

Y'all...that was...that was so much. Let me tell you. I was making noises through that episode that I didn't even know I could make. My children were concerned for my well being. My mother in law over heard me while she was on the phone with my husband and asked if I was hurt (answer: emotionally, yes) and who the hell Chuck was and why he was a sick SOB. I was on my knees at one point. From beginning to end, it had my heart racing. I'm just....

The acting:

Shoshannah

I felt her pain when she had to cut Sam! I felt that!!! I felt her regret! I felt her disdain towards chuck. I felt her conflict of not knowing what was real!

Jared

You beautiful beast, you. Every moment of realization and revelation was CLEAR AS DAY. This man had an emotional rollercoaster throughout this episode. Hope, pain, regret, defiance, loss, indecision....and even when he was tied to a chair it SHOWED! His facial expressions were on point! I live! Glorious as always, my dude!

Rob

Can we please talk about how this man has, probably, the hardest, most controversial job in network television right now. He has to make you hate God. GOD! And he is killing it! Like, he is such a quirky loveable person, but I want his character to burn. That's skill. I feel so uncomfortable when chuck is on screen. I feel so uneasy, like that " walking alone at night in a bad neighborhood" feeling. Just *chef kiss* bravo.

Misha

I know a lot of people don't like him. A lot of people rag on his acting saying 'Castiel only has like 3 emotions/faces'. But when you look at the actor vs the character...Misha is a very expressive person. He is energetic and dramatic and high pitched and his face is always expressive and pretty much he is the opposite of Castiel. Setting aside the fact that he's played like 8 different characters on the show and you can tell which one by facial expressions alone, the fact that this man has been playing a character that is so opposite of who he really is for so long and still keeps people intrigued speaks volumes about his skill. He was wonderful as always in this episode and that is my opinion and I'm sorry you can't change my mind.

Jensen

Give this man ALL of the awards! This whole damn season! Just *incoherent fangirl screeching* From his concern for Sam, to his panic, the TEARS, the confidence with Chuck, his pain over losing Cas, the resignation....I felt uncomfortable. I felt uncomfortable because I felt like I was watching a real human being go through all of that. He made me feel like I was watching someone's actual life unfold. You, Jensen, are an artist! Like hot holy damn! I'm basically just still sitting in awe over it. I cant even...jut... flrubergurbermlehlefleh!

The Writing:

Phenomenal. Nuff said.

The episode itself:

Sam, Chuck, and Eileen

I can't handle the pain. When chuck had Eileen cut Sam....nope, no, uh uh, not okay. I was cussing out a fictional character. Out loud. People heard me. Big mad.

Chuck manipulating the Sam/Eileen relationship? I have some not so positive feelings about this. Like, the man has suffered enough. Let hi. Have something good for once without sticking your dirty little fingers in it.

Chuck physically torturing Sam and expecting it to break him? Ha! Dude has had his foot bruleed! One scalpel ain't gonna cut it. Why is he still defiant. Because he's Sam f***ing Winchester.

That first future clip hurt. I like Claire.

That second one made me panic. All I could think was "why is Cas gone?"

The third one though....Sam packing up to head out and Dean coming in defeated. I have so many thoughts and feelings. This is the point I was on my knees. Because Sam was trying to keep the faith. Present Sam was convinced Chuck was showing him lies, because Dean was giving up. But the part that is haunting me, aside from the fact that we learn, Donna, the girls, Eileen and pretty much everyone except Jody and Bobby are gone, is one single pronoun. I. Dean didn't say "we had to bury Cas". He said "I". Where was Sam when all this happened? Why was Dean the one who had to bury him? Alone! Cas is Sam's friend too.How Fucking strong and Terrifying was Cas with the mark that a damn Ma'lek box was the only solution?! Also angel knight of hell demon wtf flerbergerber...IWANTTOKNOWWHATHAPPENDANDHOWALLTHATWENTDOWNOMFC!!!!!

Chucks whole "oh, oh no Dean, don't go out that door...." bs made me rage

Vamp!bros? That's the end? Really?! REALLY?!

The monster taking over the world if chuck is gone? Idk....I don't know if I believe that. Sam might. I don't.

Sam losing his hope...hurt.

Sam losing Eileen because she doesn't know what is real...hurt.

Chuck having his powers back...hurt.

This while storyline just fucking hurt.

Cas and Dean

Cas telling Dean to stop being stupid?! I'm sorry what?! Like, my reaction was similar to Dean's. Like just...well okay then. Go off!

Cas calling the shots about staying together? Go off!!

Nonverbal communication had to happen considering they both know they were being followed but the leviathan didn't know they knew

And it just proves that, even when they're fighting they are still in sync.

Benny!!!😭😭😭

"I left, but you didn't stop me." Kill me.

Cas getting trapped and Dean getting knocked out. Ugh.

That PRAYER!!!!!

Dean apologized?! What?! WHAT?!

Dean acknowledged his anger issues?!

"You're MY best friend." "Of course I forgive you." *hyperventilating*

My guy fell to his knees!

That is WAY more than a single man tear! That was sobbing. There was snot! He was begging. My GOD!

The reunion. That hug. Cas lead the leviathan away from Dean to keep him safe, AGAIN! "I heard your prayer." BFFL STATUS ACHIEVED!

Watching Cas agree to take on the mark made me nervous

They're nonverbal communication coming in again, storming the casino.

Dean decking Chuck made me chuckle. I didn't like chuck returning the favor. Dean's speech to chuck after finding out about the memories. "Not this Sam. Not this Dean."

Dean didn't blow up at Sam. He has acknowledged his anger and is working on it. THAT'S CHARACTER GROWTH MY FRIENDS!

Finishing each others sandwiches 😊

TFW IS BACK BABY!

Billie and Jack

Jack!!!!!!!

Wtf is it time for?!?!?!?!

Just a wonderful painful/relieving episode. 9.6/10. I have no idea where this is going....and I LOVE it!

[swordbreakerz]

✨ for all of them, 🎥 for treasure planet and guardians of gahoole, 🍀 for 9-1-1 and penumbra, 📃 for unicorn chronicles, 🏳️‍🌈 for howls, treasure planet and legend of zelda, and 💎 for any ones you have facts for lol

you spoil me uwu

🎥 - ok for treasure planet, gotta be the 12 years later scene in the beginning and the zoom in to the spaceport, the way it transitions from jim reading under the blankets to him flying on his solar surfer is so chefs kiss, and just like. everything about to the spaceport lmao, fr guardians definitely the scene where soren flies through the fire and then blows up the pulley system to get rid of the flecks energy, bro when hes flying above it all holding the lantern before he dives down to save them? chills

🍀 - you know im on that projection shit w/ juno steel, ive truly never like connected with a character like that before and he’s really really helped me thru my recovery and transition lol, fr 911 uhhh ig buck or eddie? i havent Thought About It or like consumed it enough times yet to rly settle on someone but fr now,,, they

🏳️‍🌈 - ok for howls, Everyone Is Bi/Pan, howl is trans and autistic and i will die on that hill, fr treasure planet jim and cpt amelia are both trans and both of them + doppler are autistic, fr loz link is trans, autistic and semi nonverbal and communicates primarily with asl, post twilight princess zelda says fuck it and finds a way back into the twilight realm and she midna and link hang out, most of these boil down to everyone i love is trans gay and autistic because i say so lmaooo

📃 - OK SO. without like, spoiling too many plot points, our main character is cara and she lives with her grandmother. her mom is dead and dad is out of the picture. one day theyre getting chased by these people that her grandma knows and cara gets thrown into an alternate realm full of fantasy creatures using her grandmothers amulet. she meets a unicorn named lightfoot and a bunch of other rad people and basically, starts a journey to save that world from the Hunters. the Hunters are an organisation who specifically hate unicorns and want them all dead, led by Beloved, and cara and her friends have to try and stop them from entering the world and wiping them out. its sooo so so good and i highly recommend it cause i have no one to talk to about it please god

✨ - oh boy uh, well. im just gonna like list them out lmao

unicorn chronicles: i loved unicorns as a kid and read it when i was in elementary school, and over the years its remained just as compelling and well written as i remember and like. god the whole concept is so godamn cool and all the subplots that get introduced are fuckign fantastic and like all the different creatures are amazing i literally cant sing its praises enough

howls moving castle: must i have a logical reason? is it not to vicariously live my fantasy of running away to the countryside with a wizard boyfriend, his demon and his apprentice?? for real though, its such a fantastic story with beautiful visuals in the movie and wonderfully compelling prose in the book, and esp in the movie the whole time travel subplot with sophie seeing howl and calcifer in the past and then howl finding her in the future makes me go feral

penumbra: gays in space. need i say more? im a huge slut for gay found family and especially in futuristic space, and im a huge big fan of the lgbt utopia its created. like yeah capitalism sucks but at least im not gonne get misgendered in space starbucks, u kno? all the writing and dialogue is so incredible and the SOUND DESIGN GOD, alex i know u specifically can relate when i say i would kill a man for sophie and her incredible sound design skills, like dude the dance scene in man in glass p2 you can hear every single individual step they take and every swish of junos dress and i jusT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god its so good, plus the whole the characters help me work through my trauma and repressed anger haha

911: this one is entirely your fault. so obligatory horny on main everyone on that show is so hot i want oliver stark to cradle me gently in his beefy arms oh my god. other than Men, the way it drives home the whole ‘you can’t save everyone, and it will kill you to try, so just focus on what you can do and keep living’ makes me so emo. the way it tackles big bureaucratic issues as well as closer to home interpersonal ones is amazing and i love how it shows people going through and dealing realistically with trauma.

treasure planet: again, who doesnt want to live in Cool Steampunk Space Travel Future? i really really love jims story and his arc, the way he deals with his trauma is uhh very familiar lol and his relationship with silver is like the ideal. the story is just the coolest concept and i love all the wonderful character design and animation, plus the soundtrack SLAPS and everything is beautiful

legend of zelda: ive been associated with this series from a very young age due to my name and as soon as i gave into my fate and looked it up for real i just kinda fell into it lol. i cant really tell you exactly what draws me to it besides ‘wow fun game!’ and ‘god i wish that were me,’ but like the absurd amount of detail thats put into each installment and the creative ways they retell essentially the same/similar story over and over is incredible

guardians of gahoole: so i had the same experience with this and treasure planet which is i remembered ‘oh hey this is a movie that exists and i cant clearly remember watching it, ill look it up :)’ and then it consumed my life for a solid 3 months. firstly this movie is absolutely gorgeous, the animation and framing is fucking stunning and the way they handled owls talking like people as far as the movement of their very inflexible beaks was amazing. it sort of has the same draw for me as warrior cats? secret animal society ft incredibly traumatic experiences and the characters dealing with it. like, the whole concept is just so fuckign wild and it works so well, i rly enjoy this niche genre.

💎 - alright trivia time, so guardians of gahoole is based on a book series and the movie only covers part of the first arc i think idk, BUT theres another series set in the same universe called wolves of the beyond that i devoured when i was younger! i didnt know they were connected for the longest time and when i found out i was :000, i still rly love wolves of the beyond and wanna reread it, as well as read the actual gahoole books. in the howls books, sophie is a redhead! also, markl is named michael and like a fully functioning young adult who ends up marrying one of sophies sisters. treasure planet is, obviously, based off treasure island but its so much better than the book dont bother reading it lol i tried and it was boring. there was plans for a treasure planet sequel that was fully scripted and cast but it was cancelled cause disney sabotaged treasure planet from the start with the shitty release and advertising and tldr we were ROBBED, also amelias concept was much more octopus like and while that wldve been rad im p glad she was switched to a cat for. several reasons lol. uhh i dont have a lot of Fun Facts abt the unicorn chronicles but for the longest time i thought there were only 3 books and then last year i found the fourth book by chance in a kitsch store and nearly had a breakdown i was so happy, like full on i started shaking and crying cause there was so much joy in my body i cldnt contain it.

thats all i can think of tysm ily, to anyone who read all of this bless u please watch guardians of gahoole and read the unicorn chronicles i will love u forever
