stanford era dean series ↳ dark angel: 1x18 pollo loco

[n0t-m00se]

Cas thinks Dean is beautiful. Period. Like he is just fascinated by humans and he likes his human body and yes he’s an angel but he’s also so much more and he’s experienced so much more and he loves Dean and he inherently thinks Dean is hot. He thinks humans in general are hot.

Michael thinks Adam is an ugly little creature but he loves him anyway. Like they’re different species and he likes being an angel and humans are confusing and weird and kind of gross and he’s never really gotten the appeal -but he likes Adam anyway :) Adam is an acquired taste and Michael eventually thinks he’s attractive and desirable too but every other human is just as ugly as they’ve ever been

I feel like ao3 needs a specific “major character death” tag for supernatural that tells me if they’re gonna come back or stay dead because death in supernatural is kind of a non permanent issue. Like, I never know if I’m coming in on another Tuesday for the Winchesters or if this is the end when I see that tag.

there are things worse than dying for example being a gabriel/sabriel fan in 2024

when a terf gets on your post. that’s like getting fruit flies in your house. you don’t try to kill every fruit fly (aka argue) that’s too much energy and it’ll just demoralize you. instead you just gotta throw out whatever is attracting them (aka delete the post) and they’ll usually go away after a day or so

when supernatural gets on your post tho. that’s like going to a picnic and being shocked there are ants trying to get a bite of your lunch. yes, annoying perhaps. but you took food and you went outside with it. that’s where the ants live. what did you expect them to do. you’re on their property. let ‘em have a little treat

i forget ethel cain is a supernatural enjoyer I was listening to bruises and thought “this is about dean winchester” as a joke then I realized there is a possibility it literally is

which books used to be destiel fics?

hi there! there's a lot! Some I know about, like this list *which was posted in 2013* so obviously there are many more now.

There's also a number of writers who have written destiel fic and then gone on to successful traditional publishing careers (or who already had successful publishing careers and also wrote some destiel fic). I'm not sure how many of them would like to be publicly included on a list like this, though... but if you ask me off anon i will be happy to rec some of those authors and their published works (and... i do actually rec their works, in my "you should be reading" tag when they cross my tumblr dash, so that might be a good place to start).

if any destiel authors would like to rec their traditionally published works, they can reply here too! I'd just like to make sure authors are comfortable being listed like that before taking that liberty.

> Rose: Confess to Kanaya!

Rose: I love you.

Kanaya: Y Yo Ati, Rose.

> Rose: Get swallowed by something that looks like Venom.

> Rose: Get sent to super hell!

> Kanaya: Have something very gay and homophobic happen to you.

Kanaya: ...

What an absolute diversity loss. You find yourself thinking "love loses!"

(this post doesn't really have a point, just fyi lol)

i've never been a science fiction fan until recently so i'll probably say some stuff and people will be "she's so ignorant" and perhaps they'll be right but i've gotta say it:

time travels in fiction are both super-interesting and extremely boring in the sense that ultimately they all seem to agree on the principle that the past cannot be changed while the future can be re-written and i'm like: meh. what if it's the future that cannot be changed while the past can be? or, better, what if it's the future that controls the narrative of the past? and what about time travellers? all these characters travelling through time and that doesn't change them. like, they're not exactly affected by it. they're still the same.

i remember once i was in middle school and my class went to a conference about i don't remember what and one person at the conference told us a story about an astronaut coming back home from space and the wife was terrified because it was him but it wasn't him at the same time. he was transformed.

it was an amazing horror story. i don't know if it's from a book or a real fact or what but this little story has stuck with me ever since.

so for instance the spn episode "as time goes by" is kinda cool because it takes a different view on the grandfather paradox since it's the grandafather travelling through time to the future rather than his nephews to the past.

however, novikov self-consistency principle is still respected precisely because the grandfather cannot go back in time and change it, aka grandpa must die.

now, if you consider that ultimately spn takes the god is author route you kinda have to make the assumption that it's not the past that matters but the future. as in: god has a planned future that he can never really write and this is what influences the narrative (the past). the story keeps changing and modifying itself because it doesn't want that telos, that future and in this light apocalypse would never happen in spn because the narrative rejects what is supposed to be written but it's never written because they keep changing the script.

this means that henry winchester going back in time would not change the narrative since the telos is already in god's mind and chuck would bend multiple rules and change worlds just to see his future really happening.

so dean and sam preventing henry from going back to john really means that they are the ones who have condemned their father to be fatherless with no real reason because they would be born no matter what (as per god's planned story that he couldn't really write but that he kept editing).

also, all stories seem to tend to a telos, to that ending that's so difficult to write so if you want to feel edgy you use a cycle-structure and you go back to square one but is this fair? (i ask myself while writing something having the cycle-structure in mind, btw i keep writing this cause i don't know the english word for it but i mean a story that has the shape of a cycle lol). this seems to convey the following message: we can't change the past AND we can't write the future we want THEREFORE we will just repeat the past but we will use different ingredients. Or, we will write an unsatisfying ending where everybody is unrealistically happy or conveniently dead.

it seems to me that the past can't be changed because we think it can can't be changed and so the stories are always the same and we keep re-telling them because we're not getting what they want to tell us. i think they're telling us that we can change them, they are actually there to be changed. like, the past wants to be changed.

the grandpa wants to go back in time and be with his son, let him go!!!

(woah. this is a convoluted post. if you're still here i think we can be friends)

“What’s the matter..? You don’t think you deserve to be saved.”

My very first published destiel fanart. This was supposed to be sent in one of those anonymous drawing boxes but my net connection was shit and I don’t think it got sent. So I decided to take it on ibis paint to continue it there. And I’m so glad I did. What was originally just supposed to be a silly little doodle turned out much better than I had originally planned.

i could watch spn every day for almost a month and be done with spn but if i did that i would potentially have to watch spn every day for almost a month
