anniversary - matt sturniolo

you smiled to yourself as you picked out the special two piece set for you and matt's anniversary today. the lacy bra with small bows on the straps and in the center where your cleavage meets and the tiny thong with a small bow on the front and medium sized bow on the back. the numerous pretty colors made the decision difficult. your top two options being the baby blue and white.

settling on the baby blue, you paid and skipped happily out of victoria's secret. you were so excited to surprise matt, knowing he loved the shade of blue you chose and lingerie on you. not to mention the mind blowing sex that may or may not happen once he lays eyes on you. thank god he had an errand to run today or else the surprise would be ruined.

you checked his location while stepping in the house, praying he was still at least a few minutes away. you sighed in relief as the circle showed him thirty minutes out. you slipped your phone in your pocket as you jogged towards your room. plastic bag smacking against you with swiftness.

having showered and everything before leaving the house all you had left to do was get into the set. you stripped out of the clothes you threw on when leaving the house, throwing them in the clothes hamper in the corner as they were removed. now fully nude, you reached into the pink striped bag for the bra first, then the teeny tiny thong.

the bow on the front became a fidget toy as you played with it while you waited for the man of the hour to arrive. the soft hum of the music in the background distracted you a little. thirty minutes never felt so slow — ever. the sounds of matt's loud timbs hitting the floor, brought a smile to your lips. you positioned your body as sexily? as possible as you heard the doorknob rattle.

"baby i'm home-" matt called as he opened the door. his drastic pause made your nervousness disappear. the flowers and chocolates in his hand almost slipped from his grip as he saw you. he gazed at you in awe as he came fully into the room. not even bothering to take any outside clothes off matt kneeled in front of you. completely disregarding your gifts.

you switched from laying on your side to sitting on the edge of the bed that matt was on his knees at. your legs swung open as you watched his wandering eyes. the blue on the thong matched the blue of his eyes, purposely. "fuck baby" matt whispered, shock still consuming him. his calloused hands ran over your thighs as he rested between them. "you like?"

"i love it, blue s' pretty" he mumbled. matt laid his head against your thigh. still maintaining contact with your barely covered pussy. "this new?" he questioned. looking down you responded simply "just got it today". tilting his head to the side for better access, matt kissed up on your thigh. his soft lips tickled the skin with each touch. you cursed at yourself for picking such a light color. the once light blue turned dark, a patch of wetness appearing as he kissed closer to your pussy.

pausing his array of kisses, matt was reminded of his gift to you. "the flowers and stuff is for you, if you want them now". you looked over at the forgotten bouquet and box, smiling at the thoughtfulness from him. "they're beautiful but i want something else right now". you winked as you played with the thin straps of the thong.

Black and Gold Han Ye (Handcrafted)

To celebrate the start of airing for Gong Jun's new Rising with the Wind series, I've decided to kick of a week of figs from his last show - The Legend of Anle. That's right, we have a whole week of Han Ye figs ahead of us, so buckle in and get ready to admire our noble prince!

First up is this beauty of a fig, from my favorite light clay artist. She made two Han Ye figs in this medium size that she put up for sale - a black gold one and a white gold one. They're both wonderful - you'll see the white gold one next.

The inspiration for this costume is one of Han Ye's many gorgeous outfits:

I really love the long train on this one.

A better view of it! We rarely see Han Ye in dark colors like this, so it's very distinctive. I love the smile we can barely see here too.

He arrived in a plastic box, stuffed full of my old nemesis, pearl cotton.

Pearl cotton is great, don't get me wrong. I appreciate how well it cushions all the figs that travel a very long and very bumpy way to get to me. I just wish the teeny tiny threads didn't get everywhere.

As you can see. Although I have to say, he looks immensely regal here, the pearl cotton almost looks like a fur stole! I just end up doing a lot of dusting to get it all off (and I still miss some).

But just look at him. Gorgeous! I love everything about this fig.

He looks calm and serious here - clearly thinking a LOT of thoughts about how to execute his plans to perfection.

The details on his robe here is just amazing - all the little tiny gold details. This artist must have the steadiest of hands!

I really like how she stamped the print on - it really carries across the look of the brocade robes.

A nice view of the train and his beautiful long hair. She always does such a nice job on her fig's hair - they have such great movement and style.

The entire figure is 11 cm tall, with 1.5cm of that being the base. For us Americans, that's 4.3 inches, with a little over half an inch for the base. Most of my figs are around 8cm, so this is larger but not too large, if that makes sense. The larger size is nice because there's more real estate for detail like this.

I really love that he's holding a fan here - I was so pleased when Han Ye had fan(s) in the show. Gong Jun should always have fans!

Here we have his beautiful waist ornament, and more detail on his fan. Can I just say how cute his little hand is? Adorable.

I love his face and his pose here. Such a great expression.

This figure is so beautiful I need to get some closeups for you to see! Please note that his gold details on his robe sparkle. That's right! I didn't know they made sparkly ultra-light clay but I LOVE it. My inner 8-year old was in complete delight over this!

A close up of his perfect face.

A close up of his golden guan too.

Alright, back to our regularly-scheduled bottoms-up picture...

..and top down.

Just beautiful! The white and gold figure is just as gorgeous - you'll appreciate seeing him next. I'll also include a pic of both of them together too.

Material: Ultra-light clay

Fig Count: 471

Scene Count: 31

Rating: Prince of our hearts!

im worried were blinded by the waiting 9 years for this movie of it all and were gonna rewatch it sometime for [REDACTED] and itll be not as good as it was today

Not at all I swear this movie was genuinely super good

Teeny tiny spoiler warning:

I see a lot of people shitting on the scene with Abby and the animatronics building a fort together but I think it's super fucking crucial to have that in there

Not only does it serve at a scene to get Mike to eventually take the offer, showing him them that "oh we're not so bad ! Look at us ! We're friendly and we'll take good care of Abby because we're kids like her :3" which I think does give him a reason to say yes at first before instantly regretting it, realizing that in fact he's the only one who should protect her, because he's finally realizing you can't have it both ways and not wanting to fuck up the only chance he has of any sort of "redemption", but also because THEY'RE KIDS

In the games it's not really explored all that much that there are CHILDREN in those suits because, well, it wasn't important in the game until I'd say FNaF 3 (that's when I think Scott actually started caring about the lore) so he kinda blocked himself off from being able to actually explore that, hence the books

But even then I don't think it was fully explored that they never really grew up, that they're still just kids even after the twenty years they were stuck in those suits, which we never get to see explored as much as it is in the movie, explaining that they ARE STILL KIDS, still wanting to have fun

Also I hear criticism about the drawings aspect

NO

GENIUS

MAKES SENSE CAUSE AS A KID WHO WAS VERY DRAWN TO DRAWING THEY'RE SO REAL FOR THAT

Creative outlets such as drawing, writing, painting, etc. Any sort of artistic medium is an outlet of ones self, as that's what makes it art

And it's a running theme throughout the entire franchise of fan art, I mean it never was a really big thing until the movie, but it still sells because it was always there:

The paper plate puppets, the crude drawings, it's all apart of the fact it's a KID'S ENTERTAINMENT PLACE

Think of Chuck E. Cheese's, they get tons of fanart from kids because they love Chuck E. Cheese, they love the little rat guy so they draw to show their appreciation, they write kind letters, etc.

The biggest criticism is about how the drawing change at the end was stupid and while I can say it seems cheesy, think of it this way:

This truly is the only way that they know how to communicate

They can't talk, at least no one but that fucking blonde kid but I'm not getting into him right now

And they were kids when they were murdered, for all they knew, Spring Bonnie just wanted to get a picture with them that they could show their parents, or was just trying to help them find their parents now that they were lost, they couldn't possibly understand what was happening

Until Abby drew that picture and showed them that he was holding a bloody knife - they say what happened to Vanessa and I'm sure they're aware of what murder is after what they did to protect themselves when they felt threatened, they just never thought that Spring Bonnie, their beloved hero, would ever do that to them

Again, until Abby brought that to life

Also Matthew Lillard's performance trumps all criticism holy SHIT

Afterthoughts: Showtime!

Game: Princess Peach: Showtime! (March 22, 2024)

Console: Nintendo Switch

Hello hello!! I'm trying to wrap up some to-do list stuff before I go off and take care of some irl junk. And I'm pretty much done with commissions for the time being sooooo... Let's move on to some of the fun stuff: talking about video games!! And not just any video game, but a game all about the most beautiful pink princess in the medium, Peach!! OH I LOVE PEACH SO MUCH-

VERY happy I was able to get a copy of this game, as I was extremely broke when it launched. But my brother very generously bought a copy for the house, so you can consider this afterthoughts sponsored by them, I suppose!

Typical stuff, this is NOT a review! Just me throwing up my thoughts about the game so people can get my jumbled mess of ideas. If I ever talk about anything that interests you, please play it!

SPOILERS FOR PRINCESS PEACH SHOWTIME AHEAD!! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT IT SPOILED!!

Opening

So, yeah, I've played some Mario. I'd even go as far as to say that you could maybe consider me a Mario fan again. Maybe. And, well, I like Princess Peach. If you've been following me for a bit, you probably know I LOVE Peach! She's cute, she's pretty, and I think she's been PAINFULLY underused in the series the last few years. Did you know she's a powerful spellcaster? Why don't we get to see it more? I'm very thankful we're FINALLY seeing her be playable in more games again.

I was actually a HUGE fan of Super Princess Peach on DS, and I thought we were long overdue on a sequel for years. So naturally I was SUPER stoked when they showed that teeny tiny teaser a while back. Fast forward, and the game is here and... I love it! I actually think it may even be better than SPP! It's super cute!

Stuff I liked

So for starters, again it's SUPER cute! You'd probably expect as much from a game about Peach. But no it's REALLY damn cute! From the plot about a theater being taken over, to the framing of levels being stage shows, to Peach's outfits changing in each level. This game is ADORABLE! Easily up there with the recent Yoshi games as some of the cutest Mario games ever made!

It's also super good looking, I'm not a graphics expert but I think it's a damn good looking game and I think Peach's model and animations in particular look GREAT! The whole game is full of TONS of life even though it's all fake cause it's a stage show lmao. Even character designs are REALLY full of life and interesting. I'll admit I thought Madame Grape's design wasn't that exciting when I first saw it. But it grew on me and the Sour Bunch have some FANTASTIC designs! The enemies but ESPECIALLY the bosses. And Stella is also SUPER cute! Usually you'd worry new little marketable sidekicks like that would be annoying but no, Stella was fine! I like her a lot!

Speaking of the bosses, the gameplay in general of this game is REALLY good. I didn't play the demo but I remember people saying it was like a baby game. Which made me nervous. But now that I've actually played it, no I loved the gameplay. It's fairly simple and some levels you can just blast through like its nothing. But it's FUN and some levels are genuinely tough. I had a BLAST with some of these stages! And the different gameplay styles are all fun, I don't think there's any I genuinely disliked or dreaded having to do. Even slower and more boring stages like the detective ones are fun and cute! My favorite level types were the more action focused ones. But in particular I really liked Western and Ninja levels. I was really impressed by the fact they made stealth sections in a platformer that DIDN'T suck! But back to the bosses, they're REALLY good. I wasn't expecting anything too challenging but the snake, cat, and lion really did give me a bit of a run for my money! I was particularly impressed with the lion and cat, they were VERY creative and interesting boss fights. And of course, the final boss RULES. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GAME ENDS ON A SHMUP TYPE BOSS FIGHT LMAO!! I think it makes sense because every level type is a new theme, but it was particularly great for me cause I LOVE Shmups! Put Peach in MORE on rails shooters/shmups in my opinion! The whole finale was SO good, and SO cool. It was surprisingly emotional and Radiant Peach is DOWN RIGHT GORGEOUS!!! I knew there had to be a special final boss super form and I was STILL so in love with it!

Speaking of special forms, the biggest high light of this game is obviously Peach's transformations! I'm LOVING how much we're seeing Mario characters get to change their outfits lately. Mario in Odyssey, Yoshi in Wooly World, and even Luigi in the LM3 multiplayer. It's a LONG overdue and welcome change! And seriously, seeing Peach in all these wonderful new costumes and outfits was, no questions, the best part of the game. They're all REALLY well made, I like that they're all so unique and not all just pink. It's nice to see Peach in different colors cause I was SHOCKED with how much she ate the Ninja costume. Green is SO good on her! I love seeing her in jeans, seeing her in hats, seeing her with different hair styles. It's genuinely LOVELY and I could stare at these costumes FOREVER! WHY IS SHE SO HOT!!! My favorites visually are probably Mermaid, Cowgirl, and Figure Skater. But that's not even where her new outfits end! I was FLOORED when I found out you can customize her main dress! THAT'S AWESOME WHAT THE FUCK!! During the game they give you new colors and patterns for Peach's dress so you can make her default outfit look a little more YOU. They're not all mind blowing changes, but it's cute and an extra feature they didn't have to include! I LOVED the gradient dress that went from white to bright pink.

Over all the game is just filled to the brim with life, a shocking amount of things to collect and do, and some REALLY fun and engaging levels! I was fully expecting to like this game, but personally it REALLY knocked my expectations out of the water!

Damn and another little bonus note, I didn't remember any of the music, but hearing the OST again while I write this. It's nice!! Assassin Disco is playing right now and that is GOOD!

Stuff I didn't like

But of course no game is perfect. I have a few nitpicks here and there. One is that, while I do like the Theets and I think they're noses being lights that emote with them is cute. They're something about them that's just missing that special punch? Like they're SO close to being perfect, but they just don't 100% land for me design wise. But I guess that's probably for the best since they have to have so many different designs through the game. I personally was also a little disappointed that the Sparklas were just fancier Theets. I think they maybe should've been the same species as Stella so they really stood out and I understood what made them so important compared to all the other Theets acting in the plays. But this is kind of a nitpick honestly it didn't ruin the game or anything.

Then there's the whole issue with the cover art. Yeah I really don't like it. I think the original looked cute! It's very VERY weird to have one Peach front and center that looks NOTHING like any other Peach on the cover or in game. And yeah it's just the cover art, but you see it a lot. It's WEIRD. And I'm grasping for stuff to say I didn't like about this game cause it was so good. I remember people being like "well it's GOOD she looks like this cause now she can actually emote" which seems to be the catch all argument against feminine designs or designs people dislike without having much of a reason to. And personally I'm starting to think it's kind of a bunk argument. Peach emotes just fine in this game! And I actually think they make her look INCREDIBLY cute! Any design can emote and be expressive if you actually let them emote and be expressive. But again that's a small issue, this LITERALLY makes no impact on the game lol.

Outside of small things like that. My main issue with this game is just that it feels a little short and repetitive. It's not THAT bad, you only have to play the same level theme 3-4 times to get the ending. But like, it just feels like there should be more. But at the same time, I really have no idea how you could fix this issue. There's already 10 different transformations, each with their own gameplay style more or less. It's kind of a lot! So I understand why they didn't make more and risk having some just not be good. I guess this type of weird stalemate issue can only be fixed... With a sequel... Please... Peach deserves it.

Final Thoughts

YEAH!! Princess Peach is back too it would seem! I kind of can't believe it, it really seemed like they just didn't really want to ever give her the starring role again. But I'm SO happy to see I was wrong! And personally I think they really knocked it out of the park here! This game was cute and fun way beyond what I was expecting. And I can genuinely see myself coming back to 100% it. I mean, ANY game that has Princess Peach in jeans is good in my book!

No but seriously, fun game! I loved this a lot!

===

And that's all I got on Princess Peach Showtime! Again I'm so glad I was able to play this eventually because I really didn't think I'd get the chance to!

Yeah as I said at the start I'm trying to wrap up stuff I'm doing so I can go deal with some OTHER stuff and get things prepared for next year (hopefully) in my life. Currently I've been playing my ASS off trying to beat a game that's completely brand new to me. It's part of a long running series I've actually never beaten a game from before so I'm excited to see it through.

I don't have much else to say as a closing, so you can just follow me on twitter if you wanna see what that game ends up being whenever I finish it!

That's what I have for you! Go out and play a game with a fictional character you're madly in love with!

[the-firebird69]

Hummbug

You made a lot of these and everybody was very impressed there are a lot of fun and they worked very well like you see here regular Jeeps have trouble doing this and they can't because they don't have a wide enough stance you go pretty fast and you can see the shocks working out. He said a small SUV chassis and he's a little bit bigger tires and the lightweight and aggressive trade and I think would be unstoppable and I agree maybe we've all wheel drive and I tell you what it'll real fast cuz I seen the suspension of those they don't look like anything but they are and a lot of people hate those things they're like useless they say and you can widen them pretty easily now I want to do this idea but not with Volkswagen it's too touchy and they're all older cars and we don't have any parts but there's tons of these SUVs that go out of service every year and the chassis are just sitting there and they're all wheel drive and they're not there's nothing wrong with them they just use cars that people will abandon and really they get different ones most of the time so you can round them up and try using them but you know we don't have any time so he's saying he can make a kit and he has to use for it but this will be a light vehicle for us we don't weigh a lot and we use light stuff we kind of need it and there's a lot of people who can make these just need someone who's interested

Bja

I suppose we should make something but yeah we don't have time

Trump

We have time and we have a model that's like it and we can make it look like it in a little and you guys will see it and you want to duplicate it and you'll want to make the kit it's very fast it's like you said you have an Olive drive and you use a smaller SUV it's not the medium it's actually not very big but you widen it and use bigger tires than you'll see here they have a tread and they make them white anything flies it goes across rough terrain like it's nothing and keep in mind that these SUVs are all wheel drive and they're independent suspension on all the wheels it really haunts and then terrain that you've seen here except for the ravine you can go like 80 and you're going around 30 and it's fast that you have not seen anything yet and it can carry four five people because it has the capacity you don't know what you're missing until you try it what you should do VGA is take an old version and stick it on a new SUV tiny one not teeny but stick it on a smaller SUV chassis and widen it and see how it goes and don't care about all the particulars leave the controls in there and stuff you know take a few minutes to throw it on really it is it is not going to take long but boy it's a lot of fun we're having a great time and we we wouldn't mind making kits but we usually get pushed out of that so probably make hours and driving around and everybody will copy it and it should be on that four wheel drive vehicle it's intense with all-wheel independent I mean we have one of them that's on a medium and we have three levels and we use the chassis we practice tested it goes about 150 mph and the big one goes 200 mph with four wheel drive on and you turn it off it goes about 380 I mean this is intense stuff this vehicle's intense and her daughter and son are really brilliant and we want to get going on it but we'll have to make him and drive around and you just want them you'll see what they can do when we're chasing you across the prairie

Frank Castle hardcastle yeah he said the last part

We know about it but we should probably test it that sounds intense and the body is big enough for a medium and we should do that maybe more impressive and we can go up almost anything and around almost anything because of the stance I tell you what this sounds like something we should do now is that I should ask if anybody wants to do this you can come forward and I know who he is and then somebody wants to and he says we have a military version of the USA and he wants to duplicate the other ones and really can't be that hard to take one of them so he's laughing and saying they're going to keep them in on base and it's a challenge good

Bja

We have several vehicles like that already and they can't seem to get them but they're trying to use photography and 3D photos and scanning it doesn't work that great they come out oblong. We have three new models of Oshkosh and they want them and we're going to send the old ones and they want them anyways and we didn't send those we're using them as well three trillion globally and we're halfway done

Duke nukem Blockbuster

I'm tired of hearing this stuff we need to get the new version and he says why not send in Pierce brosnan so like Korea they're probably not in Korea no they would be there in the south that's great what a stupid s*** head we are

Misery Business pt. I

Imagine moving in with the Molina's after an incident back home. Instead of being angry, you realize this is your second chance to be truly happy and you really hope it goes better than your first attempt.

Words: 6.1K Author's Note: I'm a sucker for three idiot ghost boys which is why I'm back, only in this imagine everyone is alive. Yes that includes Rose Molina as well :) Soulmate!AU too so have fun with that. FYI, Y/N will be "musically talented" but since I can't write music to save my life then "Y/N's music" will come from a little band that goes by the name of Paramore and by James Arthur.

Julie and three of her best guy friends are in the family studio outside, writing and jamming and just having the time of their life. Alex, Reggie, and Luke are about two years older than Julie, but the boys overlooked the teeny tiny age gap because her killer voice was exactly what their band was missing. The entire high school knew exactly who the boys of Sunset Curve were so they were all surprised when they took sophomore Julie Molina under their wing and rebranded their band.

Julie's family was very supportive of her music, especially her mother Rose, and she let Julie and the boys use her studio whenever they wanted so long as they all kept up their grades. They're usually left alone when Julie and Luke are in writing mode, so it's a bit of a surprise to see Ray and Rose entering the studio.

Alex is the first to notice them, nudging Reggie and gesturing to Mr. and Mrs. Molina, and then Reggie tosses a pillow at Luke's head to get his attention. Luke's rather rude remark is on the tip of his tongue, but his eyes widen upon seeing Julie's parents.

"Jules. Julie!" He hisses. "Your mom and dad are here."

"Hmm. What?" Julie finally looks away from her journal, her eyes widening before a beaming smile breaks out. "Mami! Papi. What brings you two here?"

"Hey mija," Ray says. "Can we talk real quick?"

"Of course!"

She glances at the boys and they're quick to start packing up, but Ray gestures for them to stay put. "It's okay, boys. You can stay for this."

Rose smiles. "After all, you are family too."

Every time Rose or Ray mention that the boys are family, they can't help but smile goofily. None of the boys have the type of relationship with their parents that Julie has with hers, so they're all grateful the Molina's accept them as if they were a Molina as well. Julie smiles as the boys, who are all practically older brothers to her, gather around her and Luke to hear what's going on.

On his way further into the studio, Ray grabs a chair for Rose and she takes a seat while Ray stands behind her, gripping the back of her chair. "Okay," he exhales a little roughly, "so you know the drama your cousin went through a few months ago?"

Julie frowns. "Yeah."

"Well it seems Y/N isn't doing so well," Rose says. "Your tía thinks a change of location is what's best for her."

"Y/N wants to move here?"

"Well not exactly," Ray says. "Y/N doesn't know. If we agree to take her in, then Y/N will be told of her relocation."

Julie nods, looking thoughtful. "Okay."

"Okay?" Ray muses. "What does okay mean?"

"Well I'm assuming you're only telling me because you never make a big decision without seeing what me and Carlos think," Julie says and then smiles brightly. "I love Y/N. Carlos loves Y/N, so I know he already voted yes."

Rose chuckles. "He did. I believe his words were I will throw down for Y/N any day of the week. Bring her home."

Julie snorts. "Of course he did." Then after glancing between her mom and dad, she nods with a gentler smile. "Whatever she needs. I'll even decorate the guest bedroom for her."

"That's nice, mija." Ray then looks over the boys, eyes settling on Reggie. "No flirting."

"I- what?"

"No flirting!"

Luke and Alex snort as Reggie gasps in mock outrage, but everyone knows Reggie is the one to flirt first and ask questions later. Ray and Rose laugh as they ready to leave the studio, Rose walking over to kiss her daughter on the temple before disappearing after her husband.

As soon as the teenagers are left alone, the boys whirl on Julie.

"So who's Y/N?" Alex asks, smiling innocently.

"And what was the drama a few months ago?" Luke wonders.

Julie glances between all three boys before sighing. "I'm only telling you this because it's highly likely she'll be coming soon." She has their full attention. "Y/N is my older cousin. Last year she met her soulmate."

"Aww," Alex coos.

"Or so we thought."

His smile immediately falls. "Oh."

Julie cringes. "Yeah. Apparently some new transfer student at her school liked my cousin so much that he decided he wanted to be her one and only. Really creepy dude," she says. "So somehow he figured out what her words were and made sure those were the first words he spoke to her." Their eyes widen. "When she spoke to him in return, he memorized the words and had them tattooed on. Then he refused to let her see the words, under the guise that they were in a private spot she couldn't see until they got to know each other better, until they healed."

"What the hell," Luke breathes. "That such a-"

"Dick move," Reggie mutters.

Alex nods in agreement. "Yeah. What they said."

Julie smiles sadly at her friends. "She was with him for a year before he met his real soulmate and then he tried to juggle them both. Y/N was really torn up about it."

"Who wouldn't be?" Alex says. "That is so messed up."

"It is. But if there's one thing I know about my cousin it's that she doesn't want people to tiptoe around her." Julie grins then. "So be yourselves like you are with me, just don't flirt with her."

Alex stares down his two guy best friends until they huff and nod in agreement. "I think they can handle that."

Stepping out of the Uber in front of your tío's house, you're grateful you stopped being annoyed with your mom for making you move long enough to accept the money she transferred into your bank account. The ride from the airport to the Molina household wasn't exactly a cheap one and you regretted not letting your family pick you up when you saw what you owed.

But now you're here, one duffel bag hanging from your shoulder and a medium-sized suitcase sitting by your feet. You only have a moment to take it all in before the front door is opening, and your tío and tía are exiting the house to greet you.

"You're here!" Rose smiles and is quick to pull you into a hug. "How was your flight?"

"Decent. Just a little turbulence. I might have barfed. Twice."

Rose and Ray laugh, and then Ray's tugging you into a hug of his own. "We're so glad to have you, mija. Julie and her friends have just about finished with your room. They're really excited to have you here."

"And I'm excited to be here." Pulling out of the hug, you're met with two identical expressions that practically say Are you really?. "Well now I am." All three of you chuckle. "I was a little upset at the short notice, but I'm totally over it. I am a little tired though, so yeah."

"Oh. Of course. Just head on up, mija. You know where the guest bedroom is," Rose says. "Ray and I need to go get some groceries for tonight. Does arroz con pollo sound good?"

You groan quietly. "It sounds fantastic. My mom could never quite make it like you do."

Ray laughs. "Well my sister is not the cook she claims to be. Now go on. Rest up and we'll see you for dinner."

As Ray and Rose take their leave, you grab your suitcase and drag it inside behind you. You can hear laughter coming from upstairs so that's where you head towards, and you're not surprised to see Julie, Flynn, and who appears to be Julie's bandmate Alex tacking up some fairy lights and draping them across your headboard. The bedroom, which was usually bare except for the bed and dresser, has many of your personal things scattered about that had been shipped a little over a week ago now. However the sheer black curtains, the maroon comforter bed set, and the lights they're hanging up are all new.

"A-hem." You clear your throat, smiling when all three teens freeze and turn towards you. "Are you guys seriously having fun without me?" The blonde boy grins as the two girls squeal, you dropping your duffel bag next to your suitcase just as Julie and Flynn launch themselves at you. Your arms are spread wide as they wrap themselves around you and you bring your own arms down around their shoulders to squeeze them in return. "Did you girls miss me?"

"Uh duh!" Flynn is the first to retort.

Julie pulls back just enough to look you in the face. "We're going to have so much fun."

"So much." You can't help but chuckle, your attention then sliding to the quiet blonde. "Alex, right?"

He smiles. "Yeah. Hi. It's nice to meet you."

"You too, man. I keep up with the band on Youtube and can I just say that you absolutely kill it on the drums? I mean holy shit. You're awesome!"

Alex blushes as Julie points at him. "See! Own your awesomeness. My cousin thinks you're cool, therefore you are cool."

Both girls finally release you, Flynn stumbling back to sit on the edge of what is now your bed. Julie stays right where she's at, arm wrapped around your waist as you both stare at her bandmate. You nod and smile at him. "You really are. We definitely need to jam some time."

Alex seems to perk up then. "Y-You're into music too?"

Flynn snorts. "The Molina's are all freakishly talented. I'm almost jealous."

You roll your eyes fondly at Flynn. "Shush. You're talented in other areas." Then looking at Alex, you grin. "I sing and write. Not as amazing as Julie, of course, but I can hold my own. I like to perform-"

"Just not in front of an audience," Julie muses.

"-and just let go. The rush of it all feels good." You turn to pout at your cousin. "And yeah, not in front of an audience of strangers." You stare at Alex once more. "Friends and family is fine, just not like a legit stage. I'll projectile vomit like that one girl in Pitch Perfect." All three teens snort, that movie having been popular with all of them.

Alex then grins. "We'll definitely have to jam then once you're settled in."

A brief moment of silence descends upon the room, but Flynn is not having it. She claps her hands once, garnering everyone's attention. "So before we get comfortable, lets address the elephant in the room." You groan as she smiles broadly. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm fine, guys."

"Really? Your sudden move states otherwise."

"Flynn!" Julie scolds. Alex seems to freeze, his gaze darting between you and Flynn.

Flynn grimaces as she seems to think she's crossed a line, but you merely roll your eyes. "What exactly did my mom tell your dad?" You turn to ask Julie.

"Um," she gulps and fidgets in place. "I was just told that you weren't doing so good after everything that happened."

You snort. "Seriously?" Julie nods and you chuckle, shaking your head. "Guys, I'm fine. Honestly! I got over the heartbreak like a week after it happened and then I was just pissed off. But my friends helped me realize some things and I'm good now."

"But then why did your mom say you weren't?" Julie wonders.

"I love my mom, but she's a moron," you say. You drag Julie over to your bed, kicking off your shoes along the way and crawl to sit against the headboard. Julie does the same and you gesture for Alex to join Flynn at the foot of your bed. He does, smiling to be included. Once everyone's settled, you say, "So Jerry, who was the guy pretending to be my soulmate," you explain for Flynn and Alex, "has been trying to get in contact with me ever since I blocked him on everything I could. A couple weeks ago while I was out partying with some friends, Jerry and his soulmate were at the same party I was at. I didn't notice them, but they noticed me and they somehow managed to come up with the idea that I was stalking them."

"What a bitch," Flynn immediately blurts. Alex nods along with her.

"Anyway, Jerry's soulmate confronted me and I was completely blindsided by how angry she was with me. I mean, Jerry's the one who tricked me! Not the other way around." You shake your head in annoyance. "She made some hella stupid accusations and she threw a punch."

Julie gasps. "She didn't!?"

"She did. Now I'm not stupid, so I let her hit me a couple of times before I took my first swing. Fortunately for me, she clawed me," you pull your shirt down to show them three marks just above your cleavage, "and she was arrested when the cops got there. After giving my statement and getting statements from the witnesses, they determined I acted in self defense and let me go home. Mom took the little altercation as me spiraling and acting out, so she shipped me off."

"Jesus," Julie sighs. "That's messed up."

"It really is. But oh well. What happened, happened, and now I get to live with my favorite people."

All four of you laugh before Alex gestures towards your chest, sobering up some. "I have some cream that you can use so it'll fade the scars. My soulmate likes to skateboard and he gets pretty banged up every now and then so I keep a stash of that stuff for him."

You smile fondly at him. "Yes, please. The first time my real soulmate sees the girls," you shimmy your chest just the slightest, "I don't want him to see my battle wounds."

Julie swats you with the back of your hand and you laugh at her exasperated expression as the other two break down into giggles.

Lounging around in your room, you ask Julie about her other two bandmates but Alex tells you they had family obligations they couldn't get out of. Carlos gets dropped off by his friend's mom and he joyously jumps onto the middle of the bed when he realizes you're finally there. So that's how Ray and Rose find the five of you, laughing and joking in your new room before dinner is ready and making plans to hang out the following day when everyone could meet up.

After explaining to your tío and tía the real reasoning your mother had you sent away, it was like a weight was lifted off their shoulders and they were more at ease in your presence. You laughed at their sheepishness, at how they thought they had a rightfully heartbroken teenager on their hands with no clue how to ease said heartache. But when all was said and done, everyone seemed to be themselves around you.

Alex had shown up that afternoon, soulmate in tow, and immediately you asked to play with Willie's hair. Both boys had laughed, Willie agreed and readily sat on the floor between your knees as Julie and Alex Facetimed Flynn about any upcoming open mic nights they could book. Willie had a box of random hair supplies in his lap and you saw how he kept running his fingers over a feather and some small silver hoops. Without even asking him, you grabbed a couple of silver hoops, a feather, and set them aside. You had him tilt his head and he did so without questions, closing his eyes as you started to part and section the hair on the right side of his head. Alex smiled every time he looked over at the two of you and you happily gave Willie three thin braids about five inches long before letting the rest of his hair hang loose. The two outer braids had the silver hoops clipped in and the braid in the middle held the feather you had braided in with a thin leather cord. When you were finished and then combed out Willie's hair one last time, you told him you were done and had to bite back a laugh at the way Alex gulped. Willie eagerly went to check himself out in the mirror, beaming at his reflection before turning around and pulling you into a hug.

While your tío Ray and tía Rose worked, and Carlos spent time at his friend's house, you and Julie ordered in some pizza for yourselves, Alex, and Willie. They had no plans at all for the day so the four of you went out to Rose's studio garage when Flynn finally showed up.

Flynn has the bright idea to do karaoke, pulling out the equipment and setting up a laptop Julie had in the studio for this occasion.

Flynn killed it on Nicki Minaj's Starships, you and Julie sang Mamma Mia and were joined by a very enthusiastic Alex. Willie absolutely refused to sing, but that was okay because he knew the choreography for Backstreet Boys Everybody and you eagerly pulled him up to dance with yourself and Julie. Tío Ray and Tía Rose showed up with Carlos in tow, and you and Julie laughed joyously as her parents sang through Journey's Don't Stop Believin'.

Everyone was laughing and having a good time, but as the sun was going down the parental figures went inside to talk through dinner ideas and clean up a little.

You ask Julie if she has any originals you have yet to hear, but as she goes to go grab a journal Alex speaks up. "What about you? You said you wrote, right? I need to hear an original."

"I, uh, sure." You shrug. You turn towards Julie, eyeing the laptop. "Are my instrumentals still on there?"

She grins. "Yeah. Can I choose?"

"Go for it." You get up to go see which song of yours she's going to choose, smiling softly when you see her choice. Alex is practically bouncing in his seat, Willie is shaking his head at him in fond amusement, and Flynn looks torn between recording with her phone. When you nod at her, she beams and gets ready to hit record on her phone.

"So before Julie hits play, I just want you guys to know I wrote this song while I was Jerry. He absolutely loathed it when he first heard it because he thought I was singing about someone else." You huff a laugh. "The song was honestly about a couple on a TV show I got fixated on, but he didn't believe me. So anyway, I might be a little rusty, but Julie loves it so here goes nothing.

Julie hits play. The violin starts and you smirk when you see Alex's eyebrows raise. Then the drums, guitar, and bass kick in and his eyes widen just as his jaw drops when your attitude completely changes.

"I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time before we all run out. When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth."

You keep singing, singing to Julie, but then it goes silent before the chorus kicks in and you find yourself back to back with your cousin as she joins you. "Woah, it was never my intention to brag. To steal it all away from you now. But God, does it feel so good 'cause I got him where I want him now. And if you could, then you know you would 'cause God, it just feels so.. It just feels so good."

Willie whoops and you laugh your way through the next few lines, rocking your shoulders and even throwing in a couple of head bangs for good measure.

But then the music quiets just so and you face the boys. "I watched his wildest dreams come true and not one of them involving you. Just watch my wildest dreams come true. Not one of them involving.." You head bang now, twisting your head back and forth so your hair wildly flips back and forth. Julie plays the air guitar and you're laughing, having made yourself dizzy in the process. But then as one particular part comes up, you sidle up to Julie's side, your face just inches from the side of her own face as she stares forward. "Woah I never meant to brag, but I got him where I want him now."

Your chest aches from putting your all into your own song, sweat beading at your hairline as you jump around dancing. You're exhausted by the end of the song, but it's well worth it to see Alex's gobsmacked expression.

The studio falls silent, but it's Willie and Flynn who jump to their feet. Their utter amazement and joyfulness makes you a little sheepish, but then Alex is standing to his feet. "Holy shit."

"Right?" Julie cackles. "I've been begging her to play live with us for one song, but she won't."

"Are you frickin' kidding me?!" The new voice has your head snapping in it's direction, the boy in a leather jacket and red flannel wrapped around his waist staring at you in wonder. "What is it with you Molina's and your musical talents?"

Your face flames at his praise, eyes then darting to the boy with shaggy hair and a sleeveless shirt gaping at you. You chuckle nervously and Julie wraps an arm around your shoulders, grinning as she introduces you. "And here we have Reggie and Luke. Guys, this is my cousin Y/N."

"Dude, will you marry me?" Luke's words make everyone laugh out loud, but you freeze.

Julie, having felt you tense up, stares at you. "Y/N? Are you-"

But you cut her off, eyes solely on Luke as you say, "Bro, don't call me dude." Your mocking tone makes Flynn snort.

Not only is it Luke's turn to freeze, but so do Alex and Reggie. Their eyes widen as they stare between you and Luke, your heart beating triple when you realize just who this is.

"Oh my god," Alex mutters.

"Oh my god!" Reggie exclaims, smile instantly beaming.

"OH MY GOD!" Julie shouts, arm tightening around your shoulder. "Did he just- did you just say.." You nod, your breathing becoming a little erratic. Julie notices and turns you so she grips you by the shoulders and you're staring directly into her face. "Hey, it's okay. You're fine. Luke's one of the good ones."

You gulp. "I- it's not that," you murmur. "But he said.. and I need to see-"

Before you can finish, the presence of said boy is right next to you and Julie. You startle at his appearance, but then he's holding out his arm between you and your cousin and you glance down to see the words that have been stamped into his skin since the day of his birth. There on the space just below the crease of his elbow are the words bro, don't call me dude.

You laugh, a little wetly, but no one dares to call you out on it. Instead, you turn and lift your shirt so he can see his own words stamped on your ribs. A faint touch has you flinching away and giggling, and Julie snorts as you pout at Luke who seems to realize you're ticklish.

"OH MY GOD! YOU GUYS ARE SOULMATES!" Flynn shouts. "THIS IS SO COOL!"

And just like that the tension is broken, everyone laughing and cheering. You're having trouble holding Luke's gaze, his crinkled eyes and swoon-worthy smile making you want to reach out and hug him. So when you see his fingers twitch and tap out a beat against his leg before he clenches his fists closed, you cave and pull him into a hug. He hesitates a moment before he sighs, wrapping his arms tightly around you in return.

"Hey. ¿Qué está pasando? (What's going on?) Rose wonders. Apparently the cheering had caught tía Rose and tío Ray's attention.

You and Luke break apart, but your arms remain touching as you both stare at Julie's parents like you'd been caught doing something wrong. And since the two of you can't seem to form words, Julie giggles before filling them in. "Luke and Y/N are soulmates. They said each other's words."

Ray and Rose immediately look at you in shock, and you can feel your face heating up. Slowly, you smile at your tía's concerned expression and immediately she's beaming as she makes a beeline for you. "Mija! That's wonderful news." You laugh as she hugs you and then laugh even harder when you see your tío Ray clamp a hand down on Luke's shoulder. Then releasing you and turning towards Luke, tía Rose smiles as she opens her arms wide before moving in to hug him. "I'm happy for you too, mijo. Welcome to the family." Then pulling back, she says, "Not that you weren't already part of the family, but you know."

Luke chuckles, ears turning red. "Thanks, Mrs. Molina."

"Well this is a cause for celebration," Ray says. "Anyone feeling up to pasta?" Julie, Flynn, and Reggie all whoop in unison. "You going to join us, Willie?"

Willie, never usually around for long periods of time with Julie's family, is surprised to be invited. Alex beams at his soulmate and Willie knows he can't say no. "Sure, Mr. Molina. Thanks for the invite."

"Great," Rose smiles. "Well now that that's settled, I'm going to go make a reservation so we don't give the hostess a stroke when we all walk in. Everyone has two hours before we leave."

Tía Rose and tío Ray congratulate you and Luke one last time before they take their leave. Everyone follows after them, excitingly talking outfit choices, but Reggie remains by the opened doors smiling between you and Luke. A second later, Alex returns and marches a reluctant Reggie away.

Now that it's just you and Luke, the two of you laugh nervously.

"So.."

"So.." You both laugh nervously again and then you're groaning. "This is so weird, but like I'm also really excited."

Luke loses some of his nerves and his shoulders slump. "Really? You're excited?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

He turns sheepish then, averting his gaze as he shoves his hands into the front of his jean's pockets. "Julie might have explained the shitty thing your ex did and yeah. I would understand if you weren't stoked to meet me on your second day here."

He's so genuine in his explanation that you can't help but mentally swoon at this boy before you. You're not sure where the sudden confidence comes from, but you're grateful for it when you step closer and take his face in the palm of your hands so he's staring right at you. "Okay one, my mother didn't properly explain why she moved me here. I'll fill you in later, but I'm telling you right now it's not because I'm heartbroken or anything. And two, I am stoked to meet you. You wanna know why?" Luke can only nod as he pays close attention and you grin at him. "Because the moment realization sunk in, everything just felt.. it felt-"

"Right?" He asks, voice low.

You nod. "It felt right. There was no uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach, there was just elation. Like I found something I didn't know I was looking for until you uttered the words etched on my ribs."

Luke slowly smiles and you let your hands fall to your sides, leaning in and quickly kissing his cheek. "Now come on. We need to get ready for tonight."

His cheeks turn red almost immediately, but you don't say anything as you grab his arm and drag his hand from his pocket. Then clasping his hand within your own, you drag him out of the studio and up towards the house.

Dinner was quite the affair, everyone pushing you and Luke next to one another at the table and cooing over how adorable you two were. Even his parents, Emily and Mitch, had been invited along and everyone smiled throughout the entire dinner. The table was quite loud, but not a single customer nearby or the waitresses could blame you when Reggie loudly explained that they were celebrating newly found soulmates. There was even applause that had you and Luke turning red in the face and then trying to aim a kick at Reggie's shin under the table. Unfortunately, Alex took the brunt of both kicks.

When the weekend was over, Luke and the boys stood by your side on your first day of school. The band had quite the following and those fangirls of theirs were not impressed to see you and Luke hand-in-hand. It was a bit daunting navigating the hallways with a majority of the school's population looking down their nose at you, but then Julie, Flynn, and surprisingly Carrie Wilson (your cousin's arch-nemesis) came to your aide. You understood Julie and Flynn's protectiveness, but Carrie's was a shock and she merely flipped her hair over her shoulder while giving the excuse that no one should be shit on just because they found their soulmate. The girls were stunned, but shrugged it off and let Carrie do what Carrie wanted to do.

Tía Rose and tío Ray saw a lot more of Luke at their home, but didn't put up any fuss. The only thing they asked was that if they were alone in the room, then the bedroom door was to remain open at all times. And not wanting to disappoint them, you and Luke abided by their rules. Because being with Luke.. it was the complete opposite than being with Jerry. There were no nerves, no second guessing, and no jealousy. You were happy to be with Luke and vice versa, and either of you could go out with friends with no twenty questions about who you were going with and where (Jerry seriously did a number on you).

You became Julie and the Phantoms number one fan, alongside Willie and Flynn, and sat up in the loft with Willie while the band rehearsed downstairs. The times you did go downstairs after rehearsals and Luke bounded over to you like an eager puppy, you had to fight the urge to chuck something at Reggie and Julie when they cooed over how cute you were together.

Luckily for you, Luke wasn't into PDA other than hand holding or hugs. But it still didn't stop your friends from mockingly groaning for you to get a room when Luke would hug you from behind and stay there with his chin hooked over your shoulder.

Today is one of the rare days the band left Luke alone so he could spend the time with you, but you're stuck doing Algebra II homework and Luke is going through one of your old writing journals for abandoned lyrics to give him inspiration.

You've been stuck on the same problem for what feels like twenty minutes when you hear Luke sharply inhale. You glance up at him, watching him read through something that's clearly caught his attention. You can't help but grin at his look of concentration and then his expression falls and your heart suddenly aches.

Luke glances up and you gulp. "What's this?"

"What's what?"

He glances back down at the journal in his hands before looking at you once more. "Something titled Train Wreck. It looks like a completed song."

Your expression completely goes lax then. "Oh. That's, uh, I wrote that a while back when my mom and dad were going through their divorce." You close the math book in your lap and hesitantly meet Luke's gaze. "That was not a fun time for all involved. My mind was kind of.. messed up back then."

Luke gulps. "I don't want to seem inconsiderate of what clearly was a dark time for you, but this- this is really good, Y/N. Do you have a melody for it?"

You huff a laugh, shaking your head in fond amusement. Only Luke would be this invested in a song. "I do. I think it's on the laptop in a password protected file.."

His eyes light up. "Can I hear it? You don't have to, I just-"

"It's fine." You get up, heading over to the laptop and powering it up to find what you need. After a bit of searching, you find it and open it up. Letting the melody play, you look up at Luke. "I won't sing the whole thing, but I'll sing a portion of it."

He eagerly nods. "I'll take anything."

You smile at him, nervously taking a seat on a crate in the middle of the room. He finds another crate and places it close to you, wanting to be as close as possible. You close your eyes, smiling, and let the melody wash over you as the lyrics come back to you in a flash. Your heart beat is beating double, but you inhale deeply and let it out slowly.

Losing yourself to the music, you mouth the lyrics to yourself until letting your voice ring out. "Underneath our bad blood, we've still got a sanctum. Home, still a home, still a home here. It's not too late to build it back 'cause a one in a million chance is still a chance, still a chance and I would take those odds."

You open your eyes, chest aching as all those feelings from so long ago come rushing back and make your voice just that much stronger. "Unbreak the broken, unsay these spoken words. Find hope in the hopeless, pull me out of the train wreck." Luke grabs your hand and you squeeze it for all your worth as you keep looking forward. "Unburn the ashes, unchain the reactions now. I'm not ready to die, not yet. Pull me out of the train wreck. Pull me out, pull me out, pull me out."

You meet Luke's gaze then, a little surprised to see his eyes red rimmed and teary through your own blurry vision. "You can say what you like, don't say I wouldn't die for it. I'm down on my knees and I need you to be my God, be my help, be a Savior who can-"

Your voice cracks on the next word and Luke tugs on your hand, pulling you into a hug. A sob escapes your throat as you cling to Luke, but you quickly stifle it against his shoulder. As the melody plays out, you press your forehead to his shoulder before pushing back and sniffling. "I, uh, I'm sorry about that. Everything came rushing back and I-"

"Don't apologize." Luke catches your face in the palm of his hands, thumbs brushing away your tears before his lips press against your forehead. The action is so soft that your expression crumples momentarily, but you quickly mask it when Luke pulls back to catch your gaze. "That was amazing, Y/N! So amazing. And I'm sorry it brought up bad memories, but.. wow."

You huff a laugh, pulling back so you aren't hunched over. Luke, however, refuses to stop touching you and catches your hands within his own. "I should have guessed you'd be easily impressed."

"For you? Always."

You shake your head, grinning. "You're so freakin' cheesy, Luke Patterson."

He chuckles and again you're hit with a sudden boost of confidence that you lean forward, one hand finding the back of his neck so you can bring him to meet you halfway in a kiss. He smiles against your mouth, but the smile quickly falls the second you tilt your head to deepen the kiss. Unfortunately, just as the tip of your tongue flicks against his bottom lip, you're interrupted.

"Can we come in now?" Reggie's voice rings out. "I really wanna give Y/N a hug after hearing that song."

"Reggie!" Julie scolds.

You and Luke pull apart laughing. You both straighten up and look towards the door just in time to see Reggie rubbing at the back of his head as he walks in with Alex and Julie behind him. Hand in hand, you and Luke stand up and chuckle at Reggie's put out expression.

Had you known that having a soulmate felt exactly as you feel right now, you would have known something was definitely up back home with Jerry. And though you will always hate your ex for tricking you the way he did, there's an ounce of gratefulness for the misery he put you through because had he not then you wouldn't have moved and met your true soulmate.

Ask game: 3 and 6

Thanks for asking, @ambersock !

3. Are Sam and Dean good people?

Short answer: Yes.

Medium answer: Yes, but.

Full answer: There's a nursery rhyme that comes to mind...

There was a little girl

And she had a little curl

Right in the middle of her forehead.

And when she was good

She was very, very good

And when she was bad

She was horrid.

These boys, they are that little girl. When they are good, they are very very good. In big ways (sacrificing normal lives to hunt monsters), in inconceivably huge ways (Sam jumping into Hell to trap Lucifer, Dean becoming a bomb to destroy Amara), and in a million small ways. But when they're bad... hoo boy, they're bad. Except. What makes a good person - do they have to be good all the time? Or does their goodness just have to outweight their badness? And when it comes to the Winchesters, how much of their badness is actually bad, and how much is more grey?

Let's ignore, just for the moment, bad things they've done to each other. Let's look at what they've done to others.

Kill monsters who aren't really a threat to humans? Check. Amy Pond is the classic example, and as much as I disagree with Dean killing her, she was killing humans (and "but they were bad humans" isn't an excuse.) So is that a bad thing or just a morally grey thing?

Kill, or be prepared to kill, humans when needed? Check. But don't they only do that in the name of the greater good? Sam killed and drank the nurse in Lucifer Rising, but he believed that was the only way he could stop the Apocalypse. He was willing to sacrifice Nancy the virgin in Just In Bello, but that was a lifeboat situation, the only way he saw at the time to take out a horde of demons and save all the other people. Dean was prepared to kill Gordon Walker in Hunted, because he thought that was the only way to keep Gordon from murdering Sam (and he wasn't exactly wrong, was he?) They've both stabbed dozens of vessels with angel blades or Ruby's knife, killing the host but only so they can destroy the angel or demon.

Lie, cheat, and steal? Check, check, and check. Pool sharks, fake credit cards, stolen cars, yada yada yada. But, again, in the name of the greater good. Not because they don't want to get honest jobs, but because this is how they support themselves as hunters. So this is still very much a grey area to me, along the lines of stealing bread to feed your starving children.

Start the apocalypse? Obtain the Mark of Cain? Release the Darkness? Nearly destroy the world a handful of times? These were not intentional and will not be admitted as evidence.

Back to the bad things they've done to each other. In my opinion, Gadreel is the absolute worst of these. Just a horrible, horrible violation. Dean knew Sam would choose death over angelic possession and he did it anyway. But some will say that even that terrible act has a teeny tiny kernel of good intent. Dean wasn't trying to punish or hurt Sam, he was just... I don't know, having a hard time separating his brother from himself. And those who disagree, who think there was absolutely no part of the Gadreel situation that wasn't The Worst Thing Ever, can still weigh it against all of Dean's good actions to determine if he is, overall, a good person.

(Was it awful? Yes. Am I glad he did it? Also yes. Do I want to get into an argument about it on Tumblr? No. Shall we carry on? Yes, please.)

(Are you warming up your fingers to type buuUUUUTtt WhaT aBOUt SaM noT LooKing fOr dEAn iN PURgatorY? If so, please just shut up and walk away right now.)

So. Bottom line. They are good people who sometimes do bad things, but most of those bad things are done in the pursuit of the higher good. I'm going to put them on the scales of justice and call it GOOD.

6. Most compelling dynamic (outside of the brothers)?

You know, I would love to write something truly insightful and intelligent about Winchesters vs fate, or Winchesters and God, or hunters and those they hunt, but I'm going to indulge my id and say SAM AND ROWENA. Because, damn, those two. They start as enemies, they become uneasy enemy-of-my-enemy allies and then frenemies, and then they have that beautiful conversation about Lucifer and they feel each other's trauma and terror and just BOOM. SOMETHING CHANGES. Even before then, they were warming up to each other (and unlike other relationships on the show, it actually felt organic), and suddenly we find ourselves at the point where Rowena knows Sam is destined to kill her and still, when he calls for help, she comes. She knows he's going to be her end, but she makes him her heir. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO IS ALLOWED TO CALL HIM SAMUEL. EVEN DEAN DOESN'T GET THAT PRIVILEGE. HOLD ME. I was annoyed when she first showed up, and I never really did care about any scenes she didn't share with the Winchesters, but the dynamic between Rowena and Sam truly became a late-seasons bright spot for me.

(Ask me!)

r u still doing the prompt thing if so, franmaya, meeting the parents but ha they're dead so channeling (is this too specific im sorry)

I'm aLWAYS doing femslash the incredibly stubborn Franziska "spirit channeling isn't a thing" von Karma gets a forced wakeup call post- Bridge to the Turnabout and she thinks its so weird????? so weird.so her and Maya have exchanged shitty parent figure stories (and, well, between Manfred and the tag team of disappeared dad/disappeared mom/morgan? that's a lot)[franziska voice] my father did WHAT-[Maya voice] its okay taser scars are SICK lookMaya "everyone who's supposed to care for me either leaves dies or tries to murder me" Fey has some real baggage about her too and one day franziska slams her Heavy Book shut and she says "we had to have had a good parent between us."[Maya voice] I failed statistics but you're probably right.So they start digging through inherited, dusty boxes and old records and they see some evidence of some good times! there's pictures of tiny Fran and mama von karma! there's bound books of drawings that the teeny Fey sisters did! there's all these bits of memories everywhere and finally Maya cuts the knot [Maya voice] I'm gonna channel your mom[franziska voice] I'm gonna channel your mom![Maya voice] ....franzy.... that's not how-[franziska voice] haha! too late I already bought bus tickets.so they go to Kurain with these hastily purchased tickets and Maya levels honestly with pearl about the special someone stuff and the minute Maya breathes 'meet the moms' ACE MATCHMAKER PEARL FEY IS ON THE CASEMaya reccomends mama von karma go first because that's..... probably going to go over better. probably. and the woman shows up and she's got a really severe look in her eye until the second she spots franziska and her face splits into this smileso there's a little bit of German exchanged between them and Maya catches her name and she immediately remembers to be nervous because this is why we're doing this right??? the lady squints at Maya for about two seconds before she just laughs and laughs and laughs[maya, whispering] is she laughing at me[franziska, whispering] no she's laughing because she told my father this when I was fouranyway things go swimmingly and Maya quietly resolves to learn more about horses of all things??? franziska's mom did horse things. that's really cool. [mama von karma voice] horses are soulless creatures which is nice because I can see them all again in hell.[mama von karma voice] just kidding.Maya and mama von karma wear the same sense of humor hat and it's G R E A Tanyway pearl is tired and Maya is really happy to leave mystic misty off until another day and possibly forever but n o p e[Maya voice] can't you just meet my brother/friend figures instead?[franzy voice] One, I have met those foolish fools- one of them is my literal brother. Two, you met my dead mother and she loves you.(Maya glows a little because loves!!!)so pearl fey overflowing with spirit energy pops outta bed the next day ready 2 rumble and summon misty!!!! franziska is really nervous about it. she read all the picture books online in the middle of the night and they're really very good but she's not quite the ideal girl-next-doormisty shows up and cries.mediums have a little more temporal awareness than regular spirits and if you think misty wasn't watching her little girl fall in ~love~ you're wrong!!!! misty watched the whole thing and she smile-cries and all kinds of stuff but she's gone really quickly???(something something I don't deserve to be here something something tag out)so mia takes her place. she was also watching but she's a lot less weepy about the whole thing.[mia voice] a whip?[franziska voice] ah- I suppose[franziska internally] SHIT SHIT SHIT[mia voice] I wish I had thought of it!mia and franziska get along a lot better than one might expect and maya wastes all this panic on nothing but still[mia voice] we're really proud of you.[maya voice] me?[mia voice] and franziska too.[franziska voice] me? why?[mia voice] you know why.and then mia parts from pearls who looks no worse for wear but wonders what mystic mia said to make miss franziska cry like that!!!!!!! mystic maya channel mystic mia right now I'm gonna beat her up!!!!(but the moral of the story is there's some good stuff in the past after all I guess as long as you have basic necromancy down)
