I'm usually normal about Jensen Ross Ackles but every now and then I remember that Jensen was so pissed about the Destiel conflict post Mary death (because in the past Dean forgave Cas far more easily for things far worse) that he asked the writers to tone it down, how in the FINAL season he was most excited for the Dean and Cas' storyline, how he agreed to the love confession, how he believed Dean should've said "I love you" back to Cas, how he can't make peace with Dean's shitty ending even two years after the show ended, how he roasts the rusty rebar any chance he gets, how he has gotten gazillion cool projects going on and yet he continues to talk about spn revival, how he made the whole ass show just to bring Dean back to live and our screens. I remember all that and am no longer normal about Jensen Ross Ackles.
"The one thing I want is something I know I can't have."
Can you imagine? An angel, ancient and mighty, once looked at one firey little human, and he saw this man as something so sacred, so out of reach, that he felt he (ancient and mighty) was maybe allowed to adore him (little human) from afar but would never even let himself say it, because he (ancient and mighty) never thought himself worthy of the (little human) man. Then finally he said it, because his feelings seemed useful to save the man's life. And he was so proud about it.
Lol at the blogs that laugh at Sam Winchester and think he's shit and it ends up being from Dean stan blogs and I'm like giiirl Dean would DESPISE your ass lmao 💀
why has tumblr had such a mad hater boner for dean winchester lately? samgirls have been getting feral. i'm so confused by it. i'm as bibro as it gets so i don't understand y'all. i love dean winchester so sam winchester is the specialest princess in the whole wide world. i love sam winchester so dean winchester is a saint and holy and has done nothing wrong in his life ever, you take his name out of your mouth. i don't understand how you can be a fan of the character whose biggest character trait is liking that other character and hate that other character. 90% of sam's character is being a dean stan and dean apologist. 90% of dean's character is being a sam stan and a sam apologist. you guys have the same energy as the people from fandoms who hate their fave's shitty boyfriend. i'm sorry but they are each other's shitty boyfriends and you're stuck with them
I’ve watched all three eps of The Winchester’s. I wanted to form my own opinions and not be influenced by stans from all sides.
Wanna know what I thought?
…. I’ve enjoyed it 🤷🏻♀️ It definitely has some pacing problems and the typical CW shoddy production missteps, but I have enjoyed it. Does it hit nostalgia hard? For me, yes. But that was basically one of the reasons I watched the last five seasons of SPN (and my sincere dedication to the brother bond). These are people searching for their fathers, a la season 1 of SPN. Again- heavy reliance on nostalgia, but that’s what spin offs are known to do at first until they dig their roots deeper, and I’m thinking that The Winchester’s has a shot at doing that. It’s still all very surface level, but there have been moments that show the depths that are to come.
Here’s the thing with me. I don’t see this as a slap to the face of canon SPN at all…. Yet. It is it’s own entity, and I can’t say with any certainty where it’s going, so I cannot make any judgements that would be deemed fair about what effects on canon it truly has. I know, I know…. The John thing. But it’s SO clear that we will be getting answers to that, soooo 🤷🏻♀️The stories so far have felt like classic SPN horror type stuff (though I wish it was more scary). Some of the writing is clunky, but my God there isn’t a single show in television today that DOESN’T seem to have clunky writing - and that’s a post for another day.
I really think they hit a home run in casting, and that surprised me because the trailers did not lead me to that assumption. Drake is SO good, and if you think Sam wasn’t thought of in this show you’d be wrong. Not only does Drake look very much like him, but we see the hope, innocence and fierce loyalty that comes from Sam in John. 1000% intentional too, btw. The traits Dean mostly picked up from His dad aren’t really part of John yet, and it intrigues me. Meg’s Mary is different from what I expected, but I actually prefer it to what my initial musings were. Yes, we very much see Dean here, mostly in mannerisms, personality, sense of duty, and complete expertise in all things hunting. On a different level, Sam’s there too (again) in the wanting of a normal life. We see eartnestness, fear and resentment. Sam. Meg is clearly the more seasoned actor here, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by her range.
Carlos is honestly a breath of fresh air. Jojo’s timing is spot on, expressions full of emotion, and he just makes you like him. He pulls you into the time period and makes the settings feel more 70’s, which is needed because sometimes the show doesn’t hit that mark. Lata is sweet as pie, and I am waiting for her big moment because it really does feel like it’s building up to it. Ada and John’s mom are very well cast, and you can feel their experience through the screen and it makes their young counterparts better, in my opinion.
It is not a perfect show, and at times I feel I’m even too old (in my 30’s) to be watching it. There are moments that feel to far fetched even for SPN, and the special effects are…. Well, it’s the CW - but the CW during a buyout, and while trying to change their entire target audience base with a show they didn’t seem to believe in too much. So… yea. But this genre is my jam, always has been, and to be immersed in SPN vibes again honestly is making me happy. I want to see where the story goes, however, on its own merit- and THAT, perhaps, is the biggest surprise of all.
I know this show is literally a Pandora’s box, but there is SO much REAL awful going on in the world, that maybe a breath and perspective is needed. This is a tv show. And yes, I know people treat SPN and it’s actors as though they’re all parts of a religious deity, but it’s not that serious. I have ZERO problem with people finding enjoyment in things, this prequel included. So I won’t call you stupid, canon denying, Jensen hating, Jared hating morons if you find enjoyment with this show. (Or if you dislike it either- just don’t rain on other’s parades)
ENJOY IT! This world provides so little to enjoy. Everyone is miserable. I see it day in and day out. So don’t sweat the small stuff, and don’t take things so seriously that aren’t meant to be that serious. But if you want to rage out about it and just go balls to the wall and hate post all the time? You do you my friend. We gotta feel better about things somehow I suppose.
I wasn’t looking for Shakespeare, Hemingway, Brontë or Austen. Wasn’t looking for Tolkien, Lewis or Tolstoy. I wasn’t expecting to find my life’s philosophy in this show, or to be able to relate to all of it because “that’s what I’m owed, dammit!” If you’re gonna watch it and say “at the thirteen minute mark in SPN’s 14th episode in the 7th season a background character says something that contradicts what the prequel just said!!” Maaaayyyybe don’t watch it. I just wanted the horror/mystery/family vibes I’ve missed- with a base storyline I can care about, and characters I can get behind. So far? I think it’s there 🤷🏻♀️
happy birthday guy fieri, dean winchester has been slowly checking off all the diners, drive-ins and dives featured on your show and it’s his birthday in two days ! cas, sam and jack are gonna take him to a new one he hasn’t hit yet as a birthday surprise !!!
TIL there's gay bar called "Lafitte in Exile" in New Orleans. And it's driving me crazy. surely spn writers realized purgatory is a kind of exile and the implications of having Benny Lafitte there with dean.
So I’ve been seeing a lot of hate going around. It’s been directed towards creators, readers, and other blog bystanders. Whether it’s racism, homophobia, sexism, body/personality shaming, or just hate in general I’ve seen too much circling around. I don’t want to get too serious on this blog considering the name and content, but I want to address this regardless. And I thought, considering to the previously mentioned factors, that I could do this in a way that ties into the blog’s content.
In case I haven’t been open enough about this, I write for everyone. Regardless of age, race, orientation, identity, looks, and so on. I try to keep my P.O.V. characters as neutral as possible so everyone that reads my work can feel included. However, I feel as if neutrality in writing isn’t enough. So, in order to make everyone feel included, I would like to open up a new request group. The objective is to allow you to send in a request for an Imagine that’s personalized to you.
It’ll work like this; Send me an ask that includes
Scenario
The character/fandom
Your age
Gender
Sexual/Romantic Orientation
Beliefs (Optional)
Mental/Emotional aspects (This one is Entirely Optional and completely up to your discretion)
And any physical attributes that are specific to you
If I’m missing anything, Please let me know or include it in the request
You don’t have to tell me all of these things if you don’t want to. My hope is that everyone that follows this blog feels included and has a chance to read something that’s specific to them. I completely understand if you don’t want to make a public post about this, so There is also the option to have the requested work sent to you directly instead being posted. I will ask for consent before posting.
If you are interested, send me an ask with the info you want me to include in the work Also let me know if you would like for it to be a private or public request. My hope is that everyone that reads my work feels included and that no one feels like they’re left out because of their differences. Let me know if you’d be interested! I’ll start posting(or not, depend on you) as soon as I start getting requests. As unoriginal as the name is, I want to title this series Personal Request.
Thanks for reading! I love you, Stay Safe, Be Careful, Stay proud, and I’ll be posting soon!! 😘💜💜💜💜

Also, starting Monday, I'm going to post requests for the entirety of the week since I feel awful for keeping a lot of you waiting. Have an amazing week and an even better August 😘💖💖💖💖
I asked my partner randomly after he checked the magazine section at rite aid how they got rid of the mark of cain and he literally couldnt even tell me, and after looking into the distance trying to remember what happened he was all “idk they like made another deal or something” also, when i told him castiel professed his love to dean? “wow that’s unfortunate”
Jensen saying that the brothers reuniting is one of the best moments of Dean’s life that he would want to relive if he was dying is literally everything.
I am still slightly confused as to why Jared should have been told? Ok I get it to be nice and like hey I’m doing this thing or whatever. But where would Sam Winchester even fit in? It was before he was born. I mean it was before dean was born and dean isn’t really in it. It’s like. Did Jared ok mantra labs bullshit with Jensen? Jensen obviously likes to work out and stay healthy, who wasn’t he given a role in this company? I get that’s not the exact same thing. But when Jensen mentioned a new spn project, Jared knew it was on the horizon, and then Jensen didn’t say like ‘you’ve got a role’ maybe that should have been his clue..? You can’t just assume your bestie is gonna give you a job.
This, basically, and this is the biggest professional blights against Jared on this that his fans can't see. There's a certain egocentrism with the fact that one simply assumes their bestie is going to give you a job. Or that a franchise even is gonna give you a job. Neither are mandated by professional law or the pirates code or whatever the fuck.
Similarly, Jensen talked about this multiple times in front of Jared, but Jared continued to basically presume it was a distant, dreamy, far-off idea and yes--seemed to presume his automatic inclusion. Nothing prevented him from reaching out to Jensen and being like "HEY DUDE, I HAVE SOME REMAKE IDEAS TOO, LET'S BRAINSTORM", he didn't bring anything to the table, so Jensen made one based on his lens and understanding of SPN, which naturally has a great deal to do with Dean.
It may be John and Mary's story but there's a reason Dean is the one narrating it and not Sam as an equal conarrator, because Dean's the one that the family history is associated with, be that DSOTM, or 12.01, or 12.22, or any other waterfalls of things while Sam insists on reminding that he had a different (lack of) attachment to the idea of mom, rebelled against dad, knew very little of their history (again, DSOTM, shocked at finding out the marriage wasn't great, cuz dad just vagueblogged it was perfect to him), and so on. This isn't Sam's story. Maybe if Jared had come to the table with a different reboot idea and sat down to work on it, he'd have had a seat at the table, but Jensen isn't obligated to craft something explicitly for a former costar, that isn't how this works. That isn't how any of this works. No matter what mental gymnastics J1 stans cartwheel through on twitter to defend the straight white male lead actor lmao
At the end of the day, Jared showed he does not contribute to plans, simple expects inclusion in them, and can and WILL blast the fuck out of people on twitter about it if it doesn't go a way he likes, instead of calling them and having a professional discussion about it. Which, ITSELF, might be a reason he wasn't told about it to begin with.
