Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

[youcangofindatree-deactivated20]

Gotta try it

[clevermanka]

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

[emmagrant01]

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

[mercurialkitty]

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

[songbirde108]

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

[onethingconstant]

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

It’s called the Murder Strut.

[elegantmess100]

IT’S BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldn’t find it. I’m so glad IT’S BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!

[b3gayd0crim3]

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

[linkedsoul]

One day and I bumped into a guy while doing the Murder Strut and he apologized to me even though I was the one who had bumped into him.

It works wonders.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let ‘em know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.

If there’s anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize I’m not moving for them, I can’t think of it atm.

[chasing-asterion]

[seperis]

Walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

Wheel like you’re gonna win the Indy 500 and don’t care how.

Your crutches are short swords; walk like you can see them buried in the bodies of anyone who crosses (in front of) you.

I had never seen these updates to the Patriarchy Chicken Game before and they are all a goddam DELIGHT

[marithlizard]

Patriarchy Chicken and The Murder Strut, dance names for the new millenium. 

[gossip-girl-of-middleearth]

OH MY GOD I HAD BARELY SCROLLED DOWN THIS POST AND WAS GONNA SAY “JUST TAKE SOME ADVICE FROM ME THAT I LEARNT FROM AN OLD TUMBLR POST ABOUT WALKING LIKE THE WINTER SOLDIER FROM YEARS AGO” BUT THEN IT TURNED OUT TO BE THIS POST

I first discovered this a few years ago when I was an insecure 14-year-old, and since then I indeed do the “murder strut” and staunch everywhere I go, literally works wonders

[cade-the-god]

murder strut works wonders in the airport and school.

[fullyfunctionalminiaturebeehive]

Back in HS, other kids would kinda stream behind me like the tail of a comet because I was several inches taller than most of the student population and the Murder Strut was just…how I walked. Amazingly effective.

[mathcat345]

In case you have forgotten. The Murder Strut works!

Can you help me get my meds?

Hi. I hope y'all are doing great.

So i have severe depression and anxiety. Last month, i changed my psychiatrist because i was searching for one that didn't make me drool on medicine all the time and actually gave me something that would make me happy and want to get out of bed. I found Amanda. She's great, i feel like I'm talking to a friend, actually, and she understands i have to take care of my grandmother and everything around the house and i can't exactly be tired all the time. I have to do stuff. So she gave me one medicine that changed everything.

I've been spending less time sleeping, I've been less tired, I've been able to finish my chores in way less time every day and actually find some time to study, and i actually have motivation to study and try to work for a future for myself, so i can get out of the situation i am in for some time. I've been thinking about my future, I've been smiling, I've been enjoying my time, I've been laughing more, it's been like two weeks that i haven't even been able to recognize myself on how different i feel.

It must be shocking to you that i actually have great news and believe me, it's news to me too, it's been so long since i actually smiled, I'm actually doing that.

I have to go back to my psychiatrist tho, for an appointment and a prescription. I have it scheduled to the 4th, and i was hoping you could help me out in actually getting there and getting my meds. I'm really trying really hard to stay on track here, and after so long, i am so hopeful to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I really need this.

You can send anything you have, don't be shy if you only can donate $1, it's completely fine, anything, anything helps. I really need to get my meds and keep treating my mental health, it's been such a big deal feeling better and i can't see myself going back to the hole i was before. Please help me keep smiling.

Please, send anything you can, to [email protected], at PayPal,

And if you can't send anything, just please reblog this post so people can see it, and you'll be helping the same way.

Please find it in your heart to help me, and thank you for reading this far.

Also, thank you for every penny, every reblog, every kind message. If it wasn't for you, i would not be here now. Those who know me, know how much i go through every day and keep pushing, and i want to, and who knows,maybe now with a smile on my face.

Thank you so much.

I re-re-edited this. Now, I feel satisfied with the final product. I give you:

Still Beautiful, Still Dean Winchester.

[magnificent-winged-beast]

I’m so glad of all you enjoyed this little glimpse of how would the final had looked with a better lighting and not purposely trying to hide all this little exquisite details about Dean’s reaction.

I get you @terminaldeangirldisease. And thank you.

I’m currently working on making all the final Deancas science from this first re-edit: Despair The truth ∞ SPN 15x18 because it’s my personal challenge to edit all the thing till the bitter end. To give light and color to November the 5th.

And because my levels of sadomasochim right now are high I want to share one of the many things I had realized /evaluated / theorized and speculated while editing this things frame by frame. *cracks fingers*

One thing I realized from all the previous exchange between them, that you can find on the First Post of the series. Is the way Dean falls over a spiral of desperation, because as he approaches Castiel while Billy is banging on the door. He realizes that he better would like to bang with Castiel instead there is no visible way out, and for all the things that happened till that moment is probably his end and he may watch Castiel die too in the process.

When he is very close to Cas, he lays the only thing that in that moment is for sure:

Then he gets this expression from Cas, because he also realized he is going to watch Dean die.

Till here everything is as was written on the script:

And for some reason this line it’s not on this script:

Now, my personal theory from here is about Dean general body language and usually till this point of juncture in other occasions like this, meaning the “This is our last night in alive”. He wishes not only to have more “quality time with Cas”, but most important to say what he is feeling for Cas that already told him on the prayer he said as goodbye while on Purgatory on the past episode.

But…

But…

BUT!

Ever the witty angel, and BECAUSE THE PROSPECT OF WATCHING DEAN DIE IN FRONT OF him, makes Cas find the last straw. The very only and final solution like he did always to aid the Winchesters and specifically his hunter.

Just as Dean was about to spill the beans, an the STILL BEAUTIFUL, STILL DEAN WINCHESTER, again for my torture and your enjoyment with dialog happens…

Just like that… You can see here how Dean’s drastically changing his features when the hint of A WAY OUT in presented:

You can see how he swallow his feelings and regains the hunter on a mission façade:

And this is only the beginning of the “little things” I’m discovering while giving ligth to this scene.

You can find the complete second scene HERE in English . Y para los que hablan español AQUÍ.

Thank you again to all the ones whom interacted positively with this post. It’s my honor and pleasure to contribute to the Destiel archives with my gifs.

Jensen fangirling so hard here that it’s amazing he didn’t pull a muscle!

[1x20]

Dean is motionless, coldly staring down their captive. The young man clenches his jaw, seemingly unphased by Dean’s steely stare. Dean flicks his eyes to Cas who is behind the kid and gives a barely perceptible nod before meeting the young man’s eyes again. Cas’ eyes glow blue and he puts his hands on both sides of the kid’s head, yanking it back. The young man screams in agony at the pain Cas is inflicting. After a long moment, Dean flicks his eyes back up to Cas. Cas’s eyes stop glowing and he releases the kid.

mary is constructing a false idol of her dead husband to process her grief for the family she lost. dean refuses to take that away from her while he watches the false idol he constructed of his dead mother fall apart in front of him. they are both mourning the ghosts of people they didn’t know

this show really would be nothing without jensen’s acting choices

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

do you think when they were creating the jack character they intended for him to look like cas or did alexander calvert walk into the audition and everyone went YOOO WHAT THE FUCK

[jdlshfkjhfjkdsfhsdhskjfhalsk-de]

[castiellesbian]

prob unpopular opinion, but as much as I dislike John and think he’s a terrible father/hunter/person, I also don’t think he’s as outwardly cruel as some people make him. like, he wouldn’t call his sons slurs (hell I don’t think he’d call anyone directly a slur), BUT if he thought he noticed Sam or Dean getting a crush on a boy, he would “conveniently” start talking about how much of a ladies man they were, about his experience with women and how they should pick them up, and hammer in ideas about what it means to be a real man

[castiellesbian]

(I’m going to use Dean in the discussion but this could also apply to Sam). Also, if Dean came out to John and/or introduced his boyfriend, I don’t think John would like. disown him or go into a rage. But he WOULD do that faux-concern thing, similar to Lebanon where it’s like “I just always thought you would want to settle down and start a family” or whatever bs, and absolutely shut down any time Dean wanted to talk about his crush/boyfriend/husband. Dad version of “don’t ask don’t tell”

[castiellesbian]

#this is a lot closer to my reading than I usually see!#the thing with john is that a lot of his character is shown in the negative space instead of the positive#he has a tiny amount of actual screentime - most of what we know about him comes from other characters#when people think of abuse they general look for signs indicating presence#but so much abuse exists not in what is present but what is absent#the absence of love and affirmation. the absence of guidance and empathy and patience#john doesn’t need to be loudly homophobic for it to hurt. consider how desperate dean is for his approval#and how painful it is to lack that - to know that you’ll never measure up to what’s expected of you#it’s enough to make a child change their behavior even without being explicitly told they’re doing something wrong#because you FEEL it when adults are disappointed with you. you do everything in your power to avoid it#but with an abusive adult you are always in the wrong. you’re never enough#no matter how hard you try to anticipate their moods and wants and mold yourself to fit#I am 100% convinced john was physically violent with his sons#but also that it wasn’t his primary means of harming and controlling them#the most powerful thing you can do to manipulate someone dependent on you#is to show them love and then take it away#I think that also partially explains the difference in how his sons reacted to his abusiveness -#sam never knew anything else. dean was old enough to remember what it was to be loved and safe#and old enough to learn that those are things that can be taken away at any moment (via @gaybirdturbohell)

there’s a lot of good tags on this post, but this one especially got me. “the most powerful thing you can do to manipulate someone dependent on you is to show them love and then take it away”

hey ask me about purity culture

[princess-rosiebird]

No

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

online purity culture doesn’t actually encourage people to be kinder, do less harm, be less bigoted etc. it encourages people to perform these things, without actually making life any easier for minority members (and very often making things worse for us). additionally, “cancel culture” actively encourages frustrated & vulnerable young people to bully/harass members of their in-group just to feel like they can affect some sort of change in a world run mad. always be suspicious of any mindset that claims to promote “goodness” while breeding a culture of anger and punishment.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

thank you to everyone who pointed out that purity culture also makes people vulnerable to being radicalized by radfem, nazi, ace-exclusionary, and other ideologies (on top of giving those groups a weapon to target minorities in their own online communities).
