i really wonder what Julius Caesar would think of a bunch of neurodivergent rats huddled in a circle chanting ides of march ides of march ides of march and then cheering loudly on the 2067th anniversary of his assassination?

like would he cry?

[wolfnight2012]

it'd be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that's in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes

Next time you're around when the mail gets delivered, ask your delivery person if they're understaffed or not.

But don't hold them up too much, they have a lot of work to do.

"you bring him back" (scripted) vs "you gotta bring him back" (delivered)...i know it's only one word but it makes the line a plea, not an order. more desperate than demanding. and dean's not even going to be around to see it. this whole plan is predicated on chuck killing him. to rest easy he needs to know that cas will live. and they couldn't even give him that.

[wolfnight2012]

like even if you ignore the fact that dean made that mixtape to mirror his parents it’s still so inherently romantic. think about the time period that dean grew up, watching campy 80s movies where people stood outside of their love interests homes with boomboxes, where music and dance is the heart and soul of life and love, endless worlds where the music says more than words ever really could. dean communicates his feelings to cas through that mixtape because expressing feelings through music is what he knows.

[wolfnight2012]

Fake phone call and Jimmy fakeout, back to back. They were really going to shatter his heart and asbolutely destroy him, twice in a row

[wolfnight2012]

when dean said “last time someone looked at me like that i got laid” to cas and then the next scene they interacted was cas beating the shit out of him in the alleyway. that was sex they were having sex
