Turns out the horsemen of the Apocalypse now prefer to go by Shareholder Profit, Private Equity, Corporate Personhood, and Workforce Optimization.

Yeah perspective is so difficult. It looks like the other actor is really short, rather than Jared being giant. I guess because we see Jared so much we get used to his height being just "tall" rather than "skyscraper". Some of it is camera angles as well, I guess.

Sam Winchester | 1.01 | tall

It is not just forever, it is also forever growing. If your coffee shop shuts down, it failed. If it runs with a steady standard flow, it's a modest success and cute. Only if you expand to become a chain, it is considered a success. This "growth" model of finance and society is just crazy.

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

In Gilmore girls, Dean and Jess are both love interests for Rory.

Sam, please tell me why your girlfriend looks so much like your brother. The same height the same face the same smile even the same birthday. I don't believe it's a coincidence. You don't want to admit it but Who do you really love？Going to college was the first time sammy had left his brother, and they had an argument before they separated .How much you miss your brother at that time。。。

holy hell ???

My favorite character in Supernatural is SamandDean.

DEAN WINCHESTER ✧ 2.9 CROATOAN

2019-2022 (my Supernatural era)

TW: Blood

I suspect that half the people doing this aren't even gay, they are fetishizers

Fandom Problem #6098:

As an old gay, I feel really tired of how a lot of young/baby gays behave in fandom. Back in "my time" when a character I liked turned out not to be LGBT+whatever, I moved on and kept shipping, and still enjoyed them, even had good times with people who didn't have the same thoughts about the character. Now I watch young gays send death threats and abuse to creators, and other fandom folk, when their personal wishes and views of the character don't come true. Just live and let live.

While I've revisited eps to make gifs, I haven't done an attentive rewatch in many years. So, I rewatched the pilot. The boys look so young 👶😄. There's a ghost story, or maybe there are two ghost stories. One is the obvious, the woman in white. The other is Sam being haunted by his past, with Dean like a link to an older era. He pulls back the curtain to an American Gothic horror tale, with his vintage car, and vintage cassette tapes, and vintage persona. Sam is the modern young man, about to head to the future, but just when he thought he was out...

I wouldn't say Dean pulled him back in. That gentle tug wasn't enough to do it, in fact. Dean has bravado, but is surprisingly soft-spoken and tentative in the way he watches for Sam's reactions like a hawk. Even when he pushes Sam on the bridge, his eyes are wide and hurt, and his hushed, "Don't talk about her like that" is not so much angry as it is a plea.

Sam seems completely self assured. He's worldly, smart, decisive. I feel as viewers we're following him from the respectable suburban world to the bad place. With John leaving a vacuum behind him, literally the empty motel room, both boys seem to fill that space -- Sam immediately connecting with John's research, while Dean dons the mantle of John's protective coat. Pleasing metaphors of inheritance.

Speaking of inheritance, Jessica's death in the same manner that killed his mother is what pulls Sam back in. He's now on the same path as John. He's the one who commands the "we" in "We got work to do." Another pleasing story parallel.

Dean is the older brother, but I'm always struck that at this stage he's almost delicate. The eyelashes, the bracelets, the too big jacket. He's positioned in this trope as the bad boy, yet Jensen always has an inherent good guy quality. He's so funny, but it's like a vaudeville act. He's insanely charming and devil-may-care, but you get the sense he's also down on his luck. He's odd and fun and intriguing.

The desaturation and shadows of the cinematography never get old. J2 are beautiful and immediately as watchable as Mulder and Scully. There are some stunning women and recognizable character actors. Of course some of it seems dated, now even more retro than intended lol, yet the Americana parts are mythic and hold up as a motif. Bonus points for including a public library for research. They're searching for a shade of a father; they can't go home, there be ghosts; home is an empty husk of trauma. Still love this pilot.

And so weird that Misha was thrown around and got fluids all over him, Jared however was so clever that he superglued himself to the floor so He did not get thrown where he was outside the bathroom. This is true, you can still see that plane has a pair of very large shoes stuck outside the bathroom door /s

Hang on, what did misha say about Jared again?? That moron...

Misha previously told two stories:

He forgot to lock the door on the plane bathroom and Jared opened it and took a picture, so he flushed Jared's phone (told on IOU with Rosenbaum).

He was on a different plane in the bathroom when there was some turbulence and it got ... messy (told at an earlier convention).

This past weekend, he conflated those two incidents and further changed the details so that while he was in the bathroom, Jared somehow convinced the pilot to do a zero gravity dive to take a picture of him covered in fluids. That is ... insane. Both because he already told those stories and the internet is forever so it's obvious he's full of shit, and because no pilot would ever fucking do that even IF Jared would ask because it is insanely dangerous.

Here's a link to a reblog of the previous post with links to videos of both the previous stories and the bullshit he said this weekend: [X].

#SPNWEEK 2024 | Day 1 | Iconic lines

I wanna carry a portable speaker to play death metal on, for just these situations.

JFC

I'm on the bus going home.

I have one bitch screaming into her phone on my left and another one yelling into her phone to my right.

AND there's another bitch two seats down, watching TV on her phone with no headphones.

People no longer know how to be respectful of others.

All about me me me.

So what they are doing is not shipping. They are betting on horse races. And that is why they are so invested in "winning" even if it is bragging rights rather than money.

i will say, the worst thing that happened in fandom was when shipping just became “i ship this bc it’s gonna be real” and not just “i ship this bc i think it’s a fun dynamic to explore idc what the writers are doing that’s not my business”

i've got the STRONGEST FEELINGS about this man's eyes 😫😫😫

Jensen Ackles as Russell Shaw Tracker (2024) | 1.12 – “Off The Books”

spn hiatus creations | week 3 ↳ dean winchester

Here's how the revival should go for maximum heller pain. Misha should play Jimmy in one scene. Cas should have a new female vessel, AND Dean should familyzone them. Then after that Cas should go back to being a beam of light. And the rest of it can be Sam and Dean, as it should be.

I tell ya, i can't wait for the revival to happen just for the meltdown that will come from Jensen disregarding the confession. Either just completely friendzoning Cass or using it as a dismissing it with a joke. But then again, the hellers would make up some dumb bullshit and queerbait themselves.

Yeah, I think at this point, it's pretty clear there is literally nothing hellers can't convince each other is actually ~*proof*~ of the validity of D/C because [absurd batshit nonsense]. Hell, with no new SPN-related content airing, they've resorted to applying the same old myopic conspiracy-think to completely unrelated shows to explain how D/C will have to be made canon, FFS. Literally nothing.

Of course, no matter how many times they echo chamber each other into believing a revival must inevitably validate their fanfic? It doesn't magically alter reality and actually make the CW homophobic or canon!Dean bi and into Castiel. It doesn't make Misha reliable or them the majority of the audience. It doesn't give Castiel Sam's place in the narrative or make Jensen secretly have the complete opposite opinions from what he publicly says. Or or or.

So yeah, when Castiel's pre-death wordvomit about lurve is inevitably danced around entirely or Dean politely familyzones the angel because SPN is pointedly not a romance story? They'll throw another huge tantrum, scream about being oppressed, and then start inventing new conspiracies left and right to to explain why a storyline that never existed outside their fanfic and stereotype-tastic meta still continues to not exist in the revival ... but will totes be canon for real next time!

Timestamps.

One feature never changes: Dean looking at Sam. You're here, brother of mine. Now it's ok.

in my mind a huge part of sam and dean’s dynamic at the beginning of season one is like.

dean is so terrified that sam doesn’t need him anymore. yes, he came back, but he’s grown up and he’s seen so much more of the world and he’s smart and self-sufficient, and so even though he’s with dean, dean feels basically useless as a protector/caretaker, the role he played his entire life, the only one he knows, and it’s now no longer really needed. so he handles that (poorly) by overcompensating to an EXTREME degree. like being even more of a helicopter parent, not letting sam go anywhere alone, checking on him all the time, etc etc.

then finally sam explodes on him, because he’s not a kid and dean doesn’t need to worry about him anymore.

and dean is soooo offended by that because like. how do you not KNOW, sam. if you think there’s a single universe where i don’t worry about you every waking moment of my life then you don’t know me at all.

and sam metabolizes that as, i’m a burden, i’m sorry for being such a fucking burden, i’m sorry you feel so stifled by having to take care of me.

and they never talk about any of this by the way. so it just becomes a never ending cycle of he doesn’t need me anymore // i’m such a burden to him on and on and on

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

Another day, another school, where the kids all have different names but are all the same. The teacher, also different and also the same, asks her class if anyone collects things. Sam frowns. If he was old enough to know better, he’d say he collects sorrows.

Kids raise their hands and talk excitedly about stamps, flowers drying between book pages, dead butterflies pinned like trophies in transparent showcases, Yo-Yos. Sam raises tentatively his hand, because he wants to melt in this classroom, wants to be just a name, to have a bedroom, a favorite crosswalk, and the luxury to collect things. So he says the one and only thing he can think of: “motel rooms”. Because this is true, somehow. An eclectic collection of dusk in nowhere towns and first days everywhere.

She tries to explain to him that it isn’t the same, because Sam can’t carry motel rooms with him, doesn’t even own them. She sees the light dim in his eyes, as kids start to giggle around him, glancing at him like he just said something hilarious. There’s nothing funny about this. She asks him if there is anything else that he keeps somewhere safe, anything that makes him happy and that he carries with him everywhere, that he can’t get enough of, and Sam thinks about it long and hard, makes a list of everything that fits the description. 

In the end there is just one thing, but the moment he thinks it, Sam’s heart swells in his chest and the kids’ mocking gazes fade in the classroom’s background, because his collection is the coolest in the entire goddamn universe. And none of the kids here can claim to have something as great as him. They can keep their lifeless butterfly wings.

“Sammys, I collect Sammys”, he says with a big grin, and she ask “What are Sammys?” but Sam just laughs. No one in this school deserves to know. No one in the entire town deserves to see his collection. So Sam just laughs and when the bell rings, he leaves with his bag on his shoulders and his teacher’s eyes on his back. 

She’s walking to her car, thinking about dinner and going for a jog maybe, when she hears a loud and boisterous “Sammy!” behind her. There’s so much unfiltered joy and love in those five letters that she feels a half second of jealousy before she can stop herself. She looks around and sees a boy, sun bleached hair and vibrant green eyes, who must be 8 at most, waving at little Sam who is running toward him at full speed, a private smile she’s almost ashamed to be a witness of spreading on his cheeks. 

That’s when she gets it, and as she watches Sam throw himself at the other boy, who just laughs and hugs Sam just as hard, she hopes Sam’s collection will never end collecting dust on the shelves of his memories.
