Neon Rain

Fanart for The Neon Void - Purgatory Paradise - By @sugarpasteltmnt on AO3

I’ve been working on this since the Neon Rain Chapter came out, originally it was gonna be a full on Shawshank Reference and then I couldn’t get the pose to work so switched it up.

Would’ve been done faster but studying art leaves me no time for art 👍

Would strongly recommend The Neon Void though, it’s an incredible piece of writing and probably one of my favourite fics I’ve ever read.

Close up of Leo’s face because I’m rather proud of how he came out :))

(I’ve done other Neon Void works in the past but this is the first one I’m posting here ^_^ )

[sugarpasteltmnt]

I finished reading The Neon Void a while ago and it’s honestly became its own hyperfixation to me now!

And I’ve finally found the confidence too ask a question! >:D

How much does Senior Hueso know about what happened? Does he even know Leo is alive yet and what would be his reaction too finding out? :3

I can just imagine the turtles walking into the place with Leo, and Hueso turning around too great them only too get jumped scared be thier presumed dead brother!

Also how would Leo do in more populated areas similar to Senior Hueso’s place Run of the Mill? Would he be nervous or none the wiser about it?

(Sorry for the random questions! I offer very old fanart I really need too redraw, as a sacrifice to the void)

I LOVE HIM WHOA WHOA!!!! Thank you so much!!

And I have a lot of thoughts on Hueso!! I like to think that after the invasion attempt, and after Hueso learns what happened... He'll be dealing with his own grief too. After all, Leo was the guy who not only helped cleared his name and got him off the Hidden City's Most Wanted list, but he was also the guy who helped him reconnect with his estranged criminal brother AND helped him with local crime bosses who threatened the peace of his restaurant.

Whether intentional or not, and while it had been a lot of trouble at the time, Leo's actions had impacted Hueso's life drastically for the better. And when he hears what Leo did... Learns that he's gone... He'll be devastated. But more importantly, Leo's brothers were beyond hurt-- and they needed help more than ever before. Hueso knows how important Leo's brothers were to him, even if it had been a passing comment at the time of one of their adventures. After the invasion attempt, Hueso becomes one of the adult figures who turns his attention towards the children who saved the world... and needed the emotional support in the aftermath.

That being said, I purposefully made nods to Hueso at the ofrenda because I love to believe he helped the boys build it. Offering what little comfort he could in giving Mikey, Raph, Donnie, and everyone else, and a means of expressing grief. I sincerely believe that after the invasion attempt, the Hamatos were more than just customers to Hueso now. He'd always give them the care they deserved whenever they visited, though that was somewhat rare after the invasion. (I also like to think he'd catch Mikey at the ofrenda at times and send him home with special pizza pies.)

Though in Rise fashion it would be absolutely comical if Leo just. Showed up one day and scared the crap out of Hueso-- but I'd think that the boys would give Hueso a heads up prior to coming. (The emotional pain of Hueso being told but not believing until he sees Leo is far more delicious to me hehe)

As for how Leo would feel in a more populated place? well. hehe. ;3c

baby jack BUT he keeps his touch telepathy version of communication. his first touch initiating an onslaught of images: a figure of light, incomprehensible and almost blinding. a question. a flash of wings, black and rainbow tipped. the question becomes more insistent, and the images come faster. a hazy image of cas, sitting on a motel bed and smiling. cas sitting on the ground, looking up from the strewn pieces of an ikea crib. the question takes on a desperate edge, starts to press golden fingers into sam’s mind. an overbright image of cas and a boy sitting on a porch swing, of paradise, of peace, of safety, of two blinding figures flying side by side. the image flashes and coalesces into a memory that sam knows is his own--cas, burning out, collapsing. dean, on his knees next to cas’ corpse. a final series of images, three times in quick succession. down the stairs, out the front door, around the house to where cas lays. take me to him, take me to him, take me to my father.

jack doesn’t utter a sound until sam lays him on top of cas’ chest. dean startles when the baby enters his field of vision--he apparently hadn’t even noticed them come outside--and makes an abortive motion to stop jack from touching cas, but by then, it’s too late. jack opens his mouth for the first time and begins to wail.

looking at the con questions doc and apparently Mark Sheppard has said that Fergus is Scottish, but Crowley is English, and it strikes me, once again, that Rowena and Crowley are exactly the same. Both of them are so driven by this past powerlessness, and this need to never be powerless again, so they make deals and do horrible things to their children and ingratiate themselves to whoever the most powerful being in the room is, and above all they reinvent themselves in an attempt to distance themselves from the powerless human they were. No wonder Crowley rejects the accent of the mother who abandoned him and adopts the accent of the people who had the most power during his lifetime. And they do all this in search of power--in search of an escape from powerlessness--and only once they have that power do they realize how empty it is.

on the topic of chuck/john and the show’s reluctance to admit that john was a villain even as it positioned god as the big bad--in a perfect world, not only would it have admitted that john was a bad father who messed his kids up, but it would also interrogate the way that john’s parenting messed up the relationship between dean and jack. like. after moriah. after dean, living up to the role chuck made for him, almost killed jack. season 15 should have placed dean and jack’s relationship front and center. it should have let dean see the ways that his father was the villain in his story, and the ways that he was becoming like his father IN CONJUNCTION WITH the ways that he was falling into the role that chuck made for him. and some writers tried and some writers touched on this particular struggle (the purgatory prayer, dean’s admission that he’s trying but it’s hard in the mrs. butters ep) but it should have been central to dean’s character arc and it’s a disservice to dean, jack, and the entirety of season 15 that it wasn’t.

the fact that john tells dean, “take your brother outside and don’t look back,” and then dean DOES look back and freezes in his tracks as he watches his home burn. from the beginning he is a character so defined by looking back over his shoulder. pillar of salt indeed

Lisa Braeden, the one woman Dean ever actually had a shot at a real life with, back from where he buried her in his mind. And her hand is on Cas's arm like it's no big deal, like it belongs there. Cas, Dean's dorky, sweet, badass, angelic best friend, and he's just standing there next to Lisa and not moving her hand away. Dean feels the jealousy rising, and it's not directed where he expected it to be. Because it takes this exact moment for Dean to realize he's in love with his best friend. He's in love with his best friend, and Lisa is looking at Cas like he's the best thing since automatic rifles, and Dean is utterly fucked.

Silver and Cold | @pomegranatedaffodil

Rating: Explicit Word Count: 64851 Main Tags/Warnings: Case Fic, Hunter Castiel, Small Town Setting, Religious Themes, Canon-Typical Violence, Minor Injuries, Minor Character Death,Tragic Backstory, Nightmares, Angst with a Happy Ending, Switching Summary: The death of a young man in an apparent animal attack brings hunter Cas Novak to the small town of Sydnam, Maine. It doesn’t take long for him to realize he’s tracking a werewolf, but discovering the killer’s identity is no easy task. All signs point towards Dean Winchester, a lonely recluse who lives in the middle of the woods and whose antagonistic behaviour does little to lessen Cas’ suspicions. As the investigation drags on, their mutual distrust gives way to a wary alliance. Cas’ instincts warn him that Dean is hiding something, but as he uncovers the man beneath the mystery, his professional interest becomes far more personal. Praying his faith in Dean isn’t misplaced, Cas races to catch the killer before the next full moon rises and another life is abruptly cut short.

[super-sootica]

Hi you, something I don't get in your post don't most people argue if Jack has influence Cas, not if he evil? The minority believes Jack will be an evil figure in the end, but argue that rn hes doing wrong by effecting Cas and just like the parallels to Amara, (Connor ? dont watch this) these storyline usually /start/ with these characters doing something like controlling ppl so going by usual tropes thats how this story usually goes. How could Jack bring Cas closer to S/D rn he seperates them

Hi Nonny,

Thanks for the ask.  I’m going to surmise your points/questions as a prompt to myself because this ask hit a whole bunch of inter-sectional discussions

Jack influencing Cas does not make him evil, but he is doing wrong right now

Very true re. influencing Cas in what could be viewed as a negative way does not make him evil.  It would of course make him a being that wants to survive, which does not make them bad.

And here’s where we get into the intersectional debates and opinions.  I don’t believe Jack has brainwashed Castiel.  Influenced?  Maybe?  Sam telling Cas ‘you can’t do this’ is also influencing him no?  But not quite brainwashing and also super ineffective.  Below are some of the reasons why I don’t think Cas is brainwashed but it is not the single pillar that my points or opinions rest on.

All roads lead to Rome here and I accept people who believe he’s brainwashed have a point, they have an argument.  But it does not ring true to me:

Arguments against it being his choice

1.  Dean would not accept that this was his Castiel.

Dean has repeatedly rejected the possibly of Castiel’s agency wherein it is a move from him (Dean).  See ‘Superman gone darkside’ and creating a literal false memory about purgatory, to reject Castiel’s decision.  To reject any reality wherein Cas would choose not to be with him.

He is not a reliable source.  That’s actually a running joke within the fandom, one of my favourite fanarts is punk Casifer flipping Dean off and Dean waving all ‘ohh Cas is going through his punk phase’.  For more on Dean is an unreliable source with people he loves please see @amwritingmeta it’s not that he can’t see things when the are wrong.  It’s just a rejection of reality.   He is sooo stressed.  Boy needs to go to a spa

2.  Castiel’s utopia speech to Kelly.

Castiel hesitated during that speech and told a bunch of cliches.  He thought of what a human might want, no hunger, no pain, no fear.  He told her it would all go away.  He was comforting a dying woman.  Not telling us what he saw.  This is not a suggestion of blind faith.

3.  ‘Castiel would never boop the Winchesters’.  Yes he would.  Castiel has repeatedly worked on his own and created distance between himself and the Winchesters when he thought it was needed.  He didn’t harm them.  He merely tried to get away.

4.  The grace colour issue.  This could be due to lighting (we have seen this before) or residual grace.  It does not mean that Cas isn’t driving.

Please also see @tinkdw‘s post on Castiel’s agency here

Moreover the reason why I brought Connor, Dawn and Chris into this is because there were also ‘this kid is brainwashing our main cast’ arguments in the fandom and meta of it’s time.  Some characters also believed it at first.  All of which were proven to be incorrect.  Setting up the newbie as more powerful or with more motive than actually exists is a trope.

I believe Castiel has his full agency, I believe he did a complete 180 based on what he saw or felt and I don’t believe that it was paradise.  He would be far from the first character to make this kind of swing in the face of new evidence or emotion

Back to your point 

And uh under the cut because this will go on and people have dashes to worry about

Let’s say Jack is influencing Castiel beyond a simple ‘Hey Cas, borrow my power, hey Cas.  Please don’t kill me’.

Then the question becomes whether or not that influence is positive or negative.

Positive - Jack really could see the future and wanted to control Cas in order to make that happen

Negative - Jack wanted to control Cas and was willing to lie to do so

If the influence is positive then Jack has done what to him, must be done.  Making him as you say not a bad character

If it’s negative than at best it’s a ruse to live, at worst it’s controlling and abusive

So I guess the question here falls into two sections. 

a.  How badly is Cas being controlled if at all

b.  If Cas is being controlled is that a negative thing for Jack to do in context

Given the symbolism behind Jack and his choices (not purely out of self interest) it is highly doubtful that even now he is bad.  He is a blank slate, and I don’t think blank slate’s control people.  They certainly never did in the three examples  I have stated (exception Chris, but this was not brainwashing like at one stage was speculated, so I continue to include him in the three).

But you point to Amara, quite correctly.  Though I’m not sure one instance counts as a trope.  A mirror, definitely.   The difference of course (to me) is that Amara was a pre-existing being with her own motivations and background.  I would point you towards @postmodernmulticoloredcloak as I believe they have some great meta based on Jack’s actions so far.  

There’s actually a lot of great meta out there on Jack on his intentions but I think I’ve covered the bases here and why it’s intersectional.  If you would like to discuss any particular point more please let me know. 

In summary your question is from the point of Jack influencing Cas in a way that takes away Castiel’s agency.  I have stated why I don’t think this is the case and offered up some thoughts on why this is the case.

Now…

All Roads Lead to Rome - Why Jack will bring Castiel closer to the Winchesters and help the others move forward

It’s not so much that Jack will cause this in any deliberate way, as I say Jack is the catalyst not the magic bullet.  But who he in the very way he’s been set up tells us who he is going to be.  Outside (the young un’s nearly always have this effect in television).  

Please see

@margarittet

for excellent meta on the scenery of Jack’s birth, the tree of life, the sunrise (hi God and Cas)

. 

But I digress, you don’t think Jack will be bad so this can establish an immediate theme of goodness for Jack or in the future

By saving Jack all of Team Free Will save and accept themselves, which allows them to move forward in their own relationships

If Team Free Will had a comprised of their separate parts baby it would be Jack

, this is a big big point and honestly I could go on for ages soooo:Jack = Cas Angel/human, not belonging in either world or truly connecting.  Identity issues, rejectionJack = Sam   The cursed child, ‘predestined to harm humanity’ associations with Lucifer.  Issues regarding being ‘unclean’ Jack = Dean  Jack’s name literally brings into focus ‘the everyman’.  Which is what Dean is, in other words.  The person from whom which we view events and moral decisions.  He also carries tremendous responsibility and the shadow of his father.How does this help Team Free Will?  By teaching them.  By accepting Jack and teaching him they learn in the process and release their own crippling issues:

Cas - isolation, bridging the gap between worlds.  You can choose.  You do have a home.  Free will.  Choosing to make yourself happy, not just to serve.  Cas has been making his choices based on service alone.  (Beginning to show in late S12 IF you believe Castiel was not unduly influenced)

Sam - judgement and predetermined circumstance.  What happened was not your fault.  You can overcome, you do overcome.  You can take back your power (we see this showing already in late S12), but he still needs more shoving

Dean - burdens, performance, the shadow of your father.  Dean takes on every burden as his own, even when he is told to keep his nose out.  You can let go, you can trust others.  It’s okay if things go wrong. You don’t have to perform for people.  It’s okay to just be you.  You are not your father.  Once again beginning to show in late S12.

Once these walls break down by teaching Jack not to repeat their mistakes (whether directly addresses their flaws or mistakes or merely advising).  All three boys take some of their power back, live more authentically and figure out what they want.

Which for Cas is to be with the Winchesters.  But that’s a whole other discussion.

AWWW!!! Thank you so so much!! And thanks for joining me on the long crazy rodeo all the way from chapter one!!! I’m so glad you liked my silly little story with my silly little guy 🩵

and THANK U FOR MY LITTLE GUY!!! Hehehe I love him!!

[autisticandroids]

ok let's see if tumblr doesn't eat my tags this time spn spnart spn art mine spn fanart trueforms fanart this is a big moment with so much symbolism. he was literally pregnant. and he was hungry bc he is a being of hungers like i said the other day he is the anti-ladyduck AND the male duck and the female paradise snake so there's the eyemouth at the center with the black hole swirls like in the bloody valentine one. representing that hunger and at the center are the leviathans. filling him to the brim and trying to grab him from the inside out the leviathans are the first time i do a trueform of something that isn't an angel they aren't portrayed as individuals. in this moment they're a sort of amorphous crowd. the sum disregarding the parts so i did them like that. and for the colors i went with the same shade of greenish dark grey i used for the ground of purgatory and gold that i've associated with grace like i said in that meta i posted earlier bc like i said they may be monsters but regardless of how the show never tackled the topic of the Other properly monsters have souls too and the leviathans turned cas into god (well A god) so children of nasty evil eve as they may be they have Something akin to holy grace and the way i see it might me something common to all souls. it just manifests differently. but that's another discussion anyways purgatory ground and holy ichor makes leviathans. incomprehensible as all trueforms are but starkly different from angel trueforms the legs are. well. two meanings at once for the two metaphors the show made very literal. and there's bite marks on the legs :) i did those by marking down the teeth marks with a spatula and then painting over it all with red crayon the arms grabbing cas from behind. well. do with those what you will and this is in the moment where he can't hold on much longer and is about to quite literally give birth so that's why the legs are likethat and in allusion to the lake moment i spritzed the whole thing with silver paint dilluted in water to give that shining effect and the drips the drips aren't really visible in the photo but i let the paper look crumbled bc it also has that look of having been wet water being significant here the hand designs are different too. the ones grabbing him from behind are softer with curved edges the leviathans' ones are once again thee saul bass hands from the man with the golden arm poster and the dripping ichor from cas is self explanatory i think

Angels’ trueforms in their most memorable moments [11/?] - Cas full of leviathans, barely hanging on. Shoutout to @autisticandroids​ and @dreamprophet​ because their meta was crucial for this one.

Neon Rain

Fanart for The Neon Void - Purgatory Paradise - By @sugarpasteltmnt on AO3

I’ve been working on this since the Neon Rain Chapter came out, originally it was gonna be a full on Shawshank Reference and then I couldn’t get the pose to work so switched it up.

Would’ve been done faster but studying art leaves me no time for art 👍

Would strongly recommend The Neon Void though, it’s an incredible piece of writing and probably one of my favourite fics I’ve ever read.

Close up of Leo’s face because I’m rather proud of how he came out :))

(I’ve done other Neon Void works in the past but this is the first one I’m posting here ^_^ )
