We know the Winchester Brothers Obsess over one another, itā€™s canon and blatant text within Supernatural.
Hereā€™s a little blurb I came up with cause I canā€™t sleep and itā€™s 2:10 in the morning :)
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
Sam loves his big brother. Itā€™s a given. After everything theyā€™ve been through itā€™d be unfathomable for them not to love each other.
But Sam canā€™t stand the fact Dean doesnā€™t seem to love him as much as Sam loves him. Sam knows Dean loves him, would do anything for him. But it seems like Deanā€™s avoiding him.
Heā€™s going to bars more often and hooking up with the first girl he sees. Thereā€™s been too many times Sam had to leave their shitty motel room cause Dean wanted to get his dick wet. Itā€™s frustrating, itā€™s embarrassing. The only thing that weirdly enough makes it better is the fact Dean is constantly wearing his amulet Sam gifted him all those years ago.
Those girls may be there for the moment, but Sam is Deanā€™s for life.
Sam thinks Dean doesnā€™t love him as much as he loves Dean. Heā€™s proven wrong on one of their hunts though.
By a Siren.
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
ā€œI gave him what he needed. And it wasnā€™t some bitch in a g-string. It was you, his little brother.ā€ The siren taunts as Dean holds Sam, his sharp knife digging into Samā€™s throat. Sam damn near blacks out at that. A demon known to take on its victims sexual fantasies; and Deanā€™s is Sam?
The confrontation goes rapidly with Bobby coming in and saving their asses. Stabbing Dean in the shoulder and the demon in the back.
Sam doesnā€™t know what to think, he doesnā€™t know what to say. So he keeps quiet. The pleading look on Deanā€™s face help him make that choice as well.
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
ā€œWhat did he mean?ā€ Sam questions out of the blue one day, months after that fateful hunt.
Dean looks over to Sam in confusion from the motels couch, ā€œWho Sammy, Darren? The waiter from the diner? It was an innuendo that meant butt seā€”ā€œ before Dean can finish his taunt, Sam cuts him off with an eye roll, ā€œNo Dean, not Darren. I know what he meant. I meant the siren from a few months ago.ā€
At the mention of that hunt, Dean shuts down. His expression flattens and he somehow metaphysically pulls away from Sam. Sam canā€™t get a read on him; and he hasnā€™t been able to do that since he was a baby.
ā€œNothinā€™ Sammy. It means nothing.ā€ Dean mutters as he takes a long swig from his beer, the sports game playing on the TV now Deans main focus.
Sam scoffs at that lame ass excuse, ā€œBullshit. It means something and I think I have the right to know what that is.ā€
ā€œThe hell you do! You donā€™t need to know everything you fucking snoop, leave it be!ā€ Deanā€™s voice raises as his jaw clenches. Sam raises an eyebrow at his brothers aggressive reaction. Heā€™ll get Dean to crack, one way or the other.
Sam decides to taunt Dean. With an over-exaggerated flip of his hair, Sam quotes the siren, ā€œI gave him what he needed. And it wasnā€™t some bitch in a g-string. It was you, his little brother.ā€ Sam says in a fake saccharine tone. Batting his eyelashes at his older brother before getting serious.
ā€œDean, Sirenā€™s ļæ¼ļæ¼ļæ¼take on their victims greatest sexual fantasy. Their celebrity crush, the one that got away, the server from your favourite restaurant. All that shit. But yours wasā€¦ me. Why?ā€
Dean purses his lips and takes an even bigger sip of his bear, wetting his lips as a drop trails down his neck. Dean wipes it away when the back of his hand with a morose sigh. Sam quickly averts his eyes from that gesture.
ā€œYou just answered your own damn question Sammy.ā€
Sam gapes, ā€œIā€™m your biggest sexual fantasy? How, why?ā€
Dean rolls his eyes at his brothers shock, ā€œI donā€™t even know where to begin Sammy. Iā€™ve always loved you. Iā€™m not sure when the wires got all tangled and fucked up but it happened. I guess being the main one to take care of you really messed everything up, huh?ā€
Sam wants to cry a bit. It does make sense, Dean is everything to him. His mother, his father, his brother, and his best friend. All theyā€™ve known all their lives is each other. Theyā€™re each otherā€™s greatest weakness.
ā€œIf itā€™s any consolidation Dean, my siren looked like you too.ā€ Sam quietly states as he gets up from his laptop and moves to sit next to Dean. Stealing the beer from his limp hand and taking a massive swig. Deans eyes and lips part minutely.
ā€œYouā€¦ waitā€” what?ā€ Dean questions, his words barely escaping his lips. Sam just smiles and kisses his brothers cheek; as close to his mouth as he can, before shuffling around and getting comfortable. Leaning into Deanā€™s side he makes himself small to cuddle up to Dean. ā€œSoā€¦ whoā€™s winning?ā€
Dean just huffs a laugh at the blatant change of subject, steals back his beer and continues to watch the game, ā€œLook at the top left corner. It tells you.ā€ Sam rolls his eyes, ā€œYou know Iā€™m not a big sports person. I donā€™t know the team names from just a few letters!ā€ The two continue to bicker, as if nothings changed.
In all honesty, it really hasnā€™t. Their unspoken bond has finally been brought to the light.ļæ¼

the thing is, i love The Narrative, but i also absolutely adore a truly character-focused tragedy where everyoneā€™s downfall is caused not by larger narrative forces, but by hundreds of tiny decisions made by characters who, despite their best efforts, just suck.

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that suā€™s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.
two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voicesā€”itā€™s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise theyā€™re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!
#i donā€™t know if pay rates differ per networks#but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds#it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget#that we as the audience never got to see#in the vein of the too-little characters complaint#another part of that is that low-stakes episodes shouldā€™ve been abt the main cast instead of the townies#like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kikiā€™s pizza delivery service#i definitely see that especially since that isnā€™t budget related#nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an ā€˜episodic episodesā€™ quota it could still be abt the gems#(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing#what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a ā€˜peridot eventā€™ where they just reran peridot episodes#which had eps that skip around in the show#did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think itā€™s simply because the creators like townie eps#like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said sheā€™s the type to be really invested in background characters#answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide whatā€™s really going on though tbf#prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope#when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it ā€˜wasnā€™t interesting enoughā€™#both could simultaneously be true! itā€™s a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create#in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it#the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them#it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast#iā€™m sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters#but off the top of my head i think itā€™s because 1. most donā€™t have strong motivations to get truly invested in#(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

why would david be suddenly ramping up his activity on social media...
why would so much of it be related to the show...
why would he not be stopping the clown train from leaving the station...
why would it be happening so close to october...
why would the cast and crew also seemingly be in on it...
why would it be intensifying and getting more and more suspicious with every passing post...
...if there was NOTHING behind it.

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol
#wax seal#crafts#wax stamp#stationery#Window one is kind of stinky.. I was imagining like a swirly night sky sort of looking thing so it would be a surreal contrast of a night#sky with a window in the middle that shows a daytime sky - but the silver and purple wax kind of mixed too much together#with the black and it just looks very plain black and not all that starry or anything hjbhj.. Of course the eye is probably my favorite#since all I ever do is draw eyes and still like eye imagery for some reason. The four leaf clover is very lumpy and skrunkty but also it wa#the smallest in size out of all of them so was easier to do multiple stamps of just to try it out.#The heart with eyes wax is actually more swirly in person. I wanted it to be a mix of light pink and red and white. and the wax#did kind of all blend together but in person you can definitely see MORE of the intentional swirlyness. in this it just looks plain pink.#I was going to do one eye in the heart but it looked weird. but now two seems too plain. i could have done 3?? in a pattern.. hmm#alas. I wish I could make actual metal ones. With the clay i have to paint them in a thin layer of olive oil before stamping because#otherwise the wax just kind of gets stuck in the grooves of the clay and then you can't pull it up. Very wacky ''unprofessional'' looking#set up where I'm hot gluing circles of sculpey clay to short stumps of a wooden dowel that I sawed apart with a serrated bread knife#and then using an old paintbrush to put olive oil on them whilst holding a spoon over a yankee candle flame hjbjh#ANYWAY.. I think if I were middle class/rich/etc. this would be one of the main things in my crafting room is like.. SO many colors#of wax. and all different custom made stamps designed by me. which could be much more elaborate in actual metal.. muahaha.... >:)c#RHGghhh... I actually don't want to talk much about it since (this is probably just my Obsessed With My Own World Artist Delusions) I#think I have a really cool idea for a game that could genuinely be successful if i ever get to make it and I don't want to give#everything away and spoil the whole plot/concept in hopes that one day I can actually do it - BUT - a game that I'd like to make after the#visual novel I'm making now has partially to do with the main character working as a sort of writer/scribe/artist assistant in an elven#city (set in my world/with my worldbuilding species and versions of elves and etc) and I was thinking of maybe incorporating#somehow being able to collect little writing type items like these like.. you can get different wax seal patterns or pens or etc. when I do#stuff like this in Real Life it always makes me think of that like.. ouh... this is good research.. what it shall be like to be a littol#elf collecting wax seals and such.. indeed... GRR i need to be finished with my current game NOWWW... i MUST work on other#thingss... aughh... ANYWAY.. yay. accomplishment to do One Single Thing other than Sit In The Summer Heat And Rot#though also hilarious as this was the first cool-ish day that was below 80F in a while hgvh#waking up like 'wow.. i actually feel okay today?? like I could do things?? how mysterious.. I wonder why..?? :0'' Its The Weather You Fool#Tis Always The Weather

i got this ask on my strawpage and was gonna type it up in my notes app and post it to twitter, but i really couldn't figure out a way to say it concisely, so i'm answering it here bc it's prob gonna be long lol.
do i think stancest is actually canon? simply put, no. despite how often i'm like "STANCEST IS CANON!!" i truly don't think that AH and the writers intended stan & ford's relationship to be seen through an incestuous lens.
their relationship is def the heart of the show, second only to dipper & mabel's own bond. they are the center of each other's worlds, their story & character arcs revolve almost entirely around each other, and their happy ending is literally the two of them sailing off into the sunset to spend "the rest of their days" together (ford says this almost word-for-word in journal 3).
but i still don't think all of that was meant to be taken romantically.
in my opinion, where things start to get a little weird is, surprisingly enough, ford's relationship with bill.
the rest is under a cut bc HOLY SHIT this got longer than i expected.
there's no denying that bill was written to deliberately parallel stan in a number of ways, from his mannerisms, to his conman status, to the fact that he calls ford the same name stan did when they were kids.
he's written in a very intentional way that makes him serve as both stan's parallel and his foil, especially in their respective relationships to ford (bill feeds into ford's ego and encourages him to aspire for greatness alone, stan has always been a direct obstacle & challenge to ford's ego, accidentally ruining his chances at WCT & encouraging him to live out their childhood dream together; bill valued infinite power over his own family and destroyed his dimension as a result, stan valued his family over everything, and saved ford and his dimension as a result).
normally, this wouldn't be that big of a deal to a stancest shipper like myself. but as the book of bill & the accompanying website all but confirmed in big, flashing neon lights, ford & bill have a romantic history and are exes.
having the two people closest to ford be compared to one another is one thing. having ford be drawn to bill because of how similar he is to the brother he secretly misses is one thing.
having ford be romantically involved with said character is what makes me raise an eyebrow lol.
again, do i think ford is literally a brocon who's got repressed sexual/romantic feelings for stan?
no.
i do, however, think he has unresolved Brother Issues that led him to subconsciously find comfort in a romantic partner that reminded him of stan (right down to bill calling him stan's nickname for him) in much the same way a person with "daddy issues" may seek out affection & intimacy from someone who reminds them of their father (or is just "fatherly" in general).
that much, i believe, was actually intentional. it's just too blatant to not be lol. it'd be a completely different story if either
bill & stan were nothing alike (untrue) or
ford & bill's relationship was strictly platonic and didn't have any romantic implications (also untrue)
i've said this before, but this isn't just a case of "oh, ford fell in love with someone who just coincidentally reminds him of his brother." bill's use of the nickname "sixer" during their first encounter was a deliberate attempt at appealing to a part of ford that was repressed, vulnerable, and aching, in order to get ford's guard down and make it easier for ford to trust him, and it worked.
billford is a ship that, to put it bluntly, would not exist without ford's buried feelings for stan, even disregarding shipping/incest/etc. ford's desire to be close to stan even platonically is what allowed bill to needle his way into ford's heart in the first place.
and all of this wouldn't be that weird if, again, bill hadn't continued to feed into ford's longing for stan even after they'd established a romantic relationship, by still calling him "sixer" and trying to permanently sever the relationship he had with stan specifically, once he and ford broke up (the phone call he tried to make while in ford's body that was described in tbob).
to put it another way, imagine if wendy was basically an older, taller mabel, or if any of mabel's crushes were eerily similar to dipper. people in the fandom would def take notice and view it as a little strange. so i don't get how people can look at ford dating someone so blatantly and intentionally similar to stan and think to themselves "ah yes, this is normal. ford is completely Normal and definitely doesn't have any underlying issues whatsoever" lmao
to conclude: no, i don't think ford & stan's relationship is actually canonically romantic, nor do i think ford falling in love with bill was incestuous, necessarily.
but i do think that he had a desperate longing to reconcile with stan buried DEEEEEEP down, and it manifested itself in the form of being attracted to bill, which is probably why he never bothered correcting bill's use of the nickname "sixer" since their very first meeting, or ever expressed that it made him uncomfortable.

at a certain point i think we need to acknowledge that art is very rarely created accidentally. if you can see a theme in a work than that theme was, more likely than not, at least somewhat intentional on behalf of the creator. you don't put a piece of yourself out into the world without thinking about what it means at least a little bit.

listen. I have never watched Riverdale and never will. but that doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m not sO FUCKING PISSED at the polycule ending.
Iā€™m not mad about the polyamory (I would like to stress this point for anyone who wants to come after me for this post), Iā€™m mad that Jughead Jones, one of, like, the two aroace characters in media people have actually maybe heard of (the other being Yelena Belova) is part of this romantic, sexual relationship.
heā€™s ace!!!
Tumblr media
heā€™s aro!!!
Tumblr media
and it fucking stings that the writers thought it was okay to erase that aroace rep when thereā€™s next to none for us to begin with.
fuck your amatonormativity and fuck your queer erasure. we aspecs deserve better.

Thinking about this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So what I love about this is how completely accurate it is to describe your kink orientation as a "need". Because it's not just something I would like out of a relationship. It's not a want. It's a need. I'm actively unhappy in vanilla relationships(or that one time I spent a year trying to be in a relationship with another sub *shudder*). I need to be able to submit to my partner. And honestly I just need to be able to submit in general. Not having that feels like I'm suffocating. So Louis saying that he and Armand had figured out what they NEEDED from each other, not wanted, but needed, is perfectly accurate.
Also look at the love in their eyes!!!! You'll NEVER convince me that they weren't in love in Dubai.
