Your Cas sheet was SO helpful! Is it possible to do a Dean one?

sure thing! :)

starting off with the usual:

remember that those freckles are essential!

he has some stubble, but it's optional and i keep it less prominent than cas's stubble anyways

on with the rest!

again, like cas, the hair tuft at the front is just something i think is cute and fun

one more thing—i usually draw dean's hair parting on his left but sometimes i forget or just think it looks better for the drawing on his right (same with cas but the opposite!)

hope i could help and have fun!! :)

Sam uses Dean's caretaker mode to trick him into taking care of himself when things get really bad. He'll exaggerate how physically hurt or mentally unwell he is to try to nudge Dean in the right direction. It's his only solution since Dean refuses to be cared for. Being Dean's little brother is a full-time job.

Dean isn't eating? When Dean serves him food, Sam immediately gets to work. "I don't know, Dean. I don't think I can stomach a full meal right now🥺" "You need to eat. Come on, Sam. One bite for me. One bite for you, okay?" "Okay🥹" He got Dean to eat a little.

Dean isn't showering? Okay, it's showtime! "You're going to bed like this? No shower first?" "Not with how shaky my legs are. The last thing I need right now is cracking my skull open in the shower." "Yeah no I'm not letting you sleep caked in mud and blood. Come on, Sammy. I'll help you. You'll feel better afterwards" "Okay🙄" Dean had to get in the shower with him to not flood the entire bathroom. Mission accomplished.

Dean isn't sleeping enough or, worse, not at all? He got this! "Just go to bed, Sam. You can’t even see straight." "Can't. Nightmares." "You need to try at least." "You'll wake me up if I have a nightmare?" "Yeah" They go to his room and Dean sits next to him on the bed. Eventually, he falls asleep too and they both get a full night of sleep

Guide for: What Tags to Add to Your Fic

Do you guys have the same problem of how when you're about to post a fic and reach to the tags section you're like .. what r werds 🫠

It's also why some works don't get any visibility even though we're blessed by god almighty for no algorithm in ao3

And I kid you not, I found some of the best goddamn fics out there by sheer coincidence because they weren't tagged right and they remain overlooked because of this fact

So here's a small classified guide for you!

This post is solely based on observation, the ao3 tag search, and my own personal system for tagging! I am not, by any means or sorts, an ao3 fandom moderator, but someone who's read nearly 30 thousand of the fics out there and struggles to read the rest

What differentiates a God from a Youkai?

The Oogata twins went from Gods to Youkais, right? Yet, Sano is in a Youkai school but without being defined as one. Besides the reveal of his nature and a glimpse of his past, is there a reason for that?

i think, my interpretation of what yohaji is about, and also sort of the stance haruaki takes, is that there's not a huge difference between gods and youkai (and humans, for that matter).

gods can become youkai, humans can become youkai, humans and youkai can have children. all three have lives and experiences that the other two can relate to and empathise with, and all three can communicate with each other if they so desire.

the biggest thing driving the difference between the three is outside perspectives of the individual, and the individual's perspective of the others. gods' disdain and disregard for those they perceive as inferior to themselves, humans' dehumanizing reverence for certain types of "otherness" and fear of other types of "otherness", and youkai's rejection of and defensiveness against the "otherness" that have done them ill in the past

(for that matter, "the difference between gods and youkai is outside perspective" extends beyond the fourth wall too. to a western perspective, perhaps some of the gods that cause storms, disasters, droughts, pestilence, volcano eruptions and so on should be considered "monsters" too. and even just from a japanese perspective, raijin and fuujin are depicted as oni despite also being considered gods, and theres historical (human) figures that have shrines and are worshipped as gods, with aggrandized stories to match)

on the surface level, meiji arc does posit that there are differences between the three, by haruaki saying that he "didnt realise there was that big of a difference between humans and youkai" in regards to the lifespan thing, but you have to consider that kai was bringing that up deliberately in an attempt to hurt hatanaka, so that he could perhaps feel the same pain kai felt. kai brings up the lifespan thing, something he considers an immutable, unchangeable fact of the universe, just as he considered the societal and familial circumstances he lived in to be impossible to change.

but hatanaka marries ibara, and kai lives to be in a world where he's dating a man. the superficial details dont matter in the end. what matters is that there is love in the world and you are surrounded by people who interact with you and who influence you and who you influence.

so yeah basically what im getting at is yohaji is about autism and queerness and depression and trauma and disability. more than its about youkai or gods or folklore, yohaji is about the Human Experience™ thank you for coming to my ted talk

Stiles sits in the front row at the funeral.

He’s next to Mellisa, who hasn’t been able to stop crying since she got the news. Stiles’ dad had organized the whole thing, talking with the funerary home and picking up the coffin and the arrangements. He’d only asked Melissa what she wanted on the headstone.

Raphael had showed up the day after. For the first time in his life, he’d looked a mess, hair everywhere and clothes wrinkled as he stormed into the house asking what had happened to his son, tears already gathering in his eyes before he even got a look at Melissa’s face. Stiles hadn’t made fun of him. Stiles hadn’t said anything at all. Raphael sits on Melissa’s other side now, and she grips his hand tight enough it turns white. He hasn’t been back for five years.

God, Scott hadn’t seen his had for five years, and now he’s dead. Scott’s dead.

Stiles thinks it still hasn’t sunk in. He’s in the middle of his best friend’s funeral - it’s closed casket because his body was so mangled up that the EMPs could barely recognize him. Stiles had heard his dad on the phone with one of his deputies talking about it, before he’d realized just whose body they were talking about - and it still hasn’t clicked that Scott won’t be coming out of his casket, that this isn’t some kind of sick practical joke for getting him out of bed the night before school started.

Stiles is not crying. He hasn’t cried once since hearing the news. His dad is crying, sitting on his other side. Scott’s like a second son to him.

Was. Scott was like a second son to him. Was because he’s gone now. Because he’s dead.

Scott’s dead.

His best friend since preschool is dead. His brother is dead. The kindest, most caring person in the world is dead. Stiles goaded him into going to the preserve to look for half a dead body - and God, he’s such an asshole. A dead body? What was he even thinking? - and now Scott doesn’t even get to show his face at his own funeral because whatever killed him barely left any of him to bury.

If only he’d stayed. If only he’d told his dad Scott was with him that night instead of leaving him there. But no, Stiles hadn’t wanted Scott to get grounded because he dragged him out of bed, so he’d kept quiet. Even when he’d seen the pair of red eyes and that— that thing in the corner of his eye. Stiles hadn’t said anything. He thought they’d laugh about it at lunch the next day.

Now Scott’s dead.

Scott is dead.

And Stiles knows exactly what did it.

(He’s going to fucking kill it.)

Don't know how I feel about the way some people point to Jack's powers to refute the existence of abusive parent/child power dynamics in which he is the victim since canonically, Jack having powers that he doesn't understand and doesn't know how to control, combined with his naivete, is like...one of the main things that makes him susceptible to abuse in the first place.

Was going to study your human Cas art because I LOVE it, but when I went to your page it's all ponies :( they're very cute but I can't really study them if I want to draw humans like you do, If you don't mind me studying your art could you make a post about how you stylize human Cas?

sorry about all the ponies! (you're totally free to mute the "my little hunter" tag!) but yeah of course!!

let's start off with his head and facial features :)

in addition to this, i make sure to draw cas's hair as unruly as possible—keep that comb away from him!

as for the tuft in front, there's no reason for it i just think it's cute

moving on!

to sum it up, i like to make cas very square! and everything else is a fuck it, we ball kind of thing with vague rules i give myself (like: cas's hair must not be devoid of any curls, make sure to keep his autistic aura, and dean's hair has to be as spiky as possible!)

hope this helps, make sure to have fun with it!!! :)

The Martyrdom of Dean Winchester

[hoziersmilligan]

can't believe people think michael, the all-powerful, human-hating archangel who became this fond, sappy, lovesick mess for this human he happened to get trapped in the cage with, would just completely revert back to his heavenly ways and believe his dad, no questions asked. like no that man was BROKEN and he needed some sense of stability after adam died, even if it came from the man who killed him.
