The Bear. One episode left of season two. Every episode is better than the last. How do they do that? How does it keep getting better??

[brrose-apothecary]

Done. And yeah. It somehow got better. That was incredible.

Summary: Dean Winchester is an addict and an alcoholic, a USMC veteran, a father, and an older brother. As Battalion Chief with Lawrence Fire & Medical, Dean comes under investigation when he makes a dangerous and impulsive decision, defying his superiors and abandoning the team he is supposed to lead. He is given the choice to go to rehab for 28 days, or jail. His lawyer insists on rehab, and Dean begrudgingly abides.

Characters/pairings: Dean Winchester x Casey/Jamie/Carmen/Tessa/Anna Milton/Max Baines/Constance Welch (more to be added), Sam Winchester, John Winchester, Jack Kline, Victor Henriksen, Jo Harvelle, Ellen Harvelle, Bobby Singer, Bille (Pilgrim), Crowley, Rowena (Macleod), Missouri Mosely, Meg Masters, Pamela Barnes, Gabriel (more to be added)

Warnings/tags: 18+ ONLY, sexually explicit, dubious consent, emergency action, fire, drug use, angst, thoughts of death and dying, flashbacks, teen endangerment, references to underage drug addiction and prostitution, drug and alcohol withdrawal, Dean Winchester goes to therapy (more to be added)

Author’s notes: Inspired by the film 28 Days and following canon themes from SPN, this is a fic about Dean, a firefighter who goes to rehab, not about Dean as a firefighter. Many thanks and all my love to @brrose-apothecary and @stusbunker for their unending support, readings, and conversations about things that matter.

[brrose-apothecary]

For any of you Dean Girls out here, or anyone looking for a beautifully written story about addiction and recovery… you can’t miss this gorgeous AU (inspired by the movie 28 Days) from my fic guru @thoughtslikeaminefield. As she says, this is a fic about Dean, a firefighter who goes to rehab, not about Dean as a firefighter. It’s made me laugh, made me cry, and made me think, and it’s nearly complete with just an epilogue to come. You can also find it here on ao3. I highly recommend you dive in and then join me in waiting (not so) patiently for the ending!

PS: If you’ve never seen 28 Days (a criminally underrated Sandra Bullock vehicle), go watch it when you’re done with the fic. It’s an excellent movie!

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired

[pocket-deer-belly]

Some gay men really put 0 hours of work into unlearning their hatred of women’s bodies and anatomy it’s embarrassing. Like i’m super fucking sorry that you’ve got a pussy ick thing going on but i got over it after like one conversation with a friend and you’re 29 years old publicizing your pussy ick on twitter dot com dot gov posting about how super fucking hard it is that trans men are also in gay bars and that’s Not Valid because ewwww they have vacheena which is the opposite of gay eeewwwwwww! And you have to let everybody know that you’re gay not because you like men but because you hate pussy so much it makes you transphobic. Like how can you even continue to serve cunt in such a state

[she-is-ovarit]

To my gay brothers, especially to those of you who are younger and more directly under this pressure, I hope you feel no guilt or shame for not wanting to sleep with someone of the female sex, for feeling uncomfortable or repulsed at the idea of having penis-in-vagina intercourse. This is woke homophobia. It's not okay for someone to guilt or shame you for having the sexual boundaries surrounding your sexual orientation that you have, or to coerce and pressure you into heterosexual sex. You are fine the way you are.

[redvelvetrevolver]

Some ppl will read "publicly declaring how much you hate vaginas or resent trans men in gay spaces as a way of socializing as a gay man is transphobic" and reinterpret that as "they're trying to make us have sex with them".

I tend to think this is due to wilful misunderstanding, because claiming we are trying to "make you sleep with us" is such a violent and potent tool to use against us, to get us excluded and otherwise participate in our genocide.

Let me make it real simple for you. Some gay men bond and socialize by talking about how vaginas are disgusting. This needs to stop. And you need to grow up enough to realize that declaring that pussy is soooo yucky is not the same thing as declining to have sex with people with a pussy. Any adult should be able to realize that.

I left a support group for gay men with my particular disability because of the constant banter about pussy being gross, despite repeated requests to cool it. The group had claimed to be trans inclusive. It wasn't, obviously. Later it turned out it was also moderated by racists and they were declining membership requests from Black men. It all goes together. It's all pieces of one big disgusting ideology.

So grow the fuck up.

[grison-in-space]

Just to note, I have in fact had gay dudes in my life try to bond with me through queer culture by talking about how pussy is gross. I am a butch queer woman. This doesn't seem to matter: it seems that guys like this only really interact or think about interacting with straight women and cis gay men, and they tend to assume that strategies for one or the other of those categories will work for me. Protip: doesn't work that way, bucko!

These gentlemen are inevitably confused and taken aback if I object to this, because in their non-work lives apparently they never hang out with anyone but other cis gay men and maybe a couple other queers who tolerate this shit. So let me make this clear: performing exaggerated disgust at how gross you find my genitals is not a way to make fucking friends. It is not cute. It is not fun. It is not cheeky.

I always want to tell them: if you don't stop, I'm going to have to explain this to you and let you sit in uncomfortable silence while I explain all the weird things I do not like about male bodies, which is a thing I do not bring up often and particularly not ever around my dude and transmasc friends for the simple reason that their bodies do not exist for my pleasure. I don't have to like their bodies. I just have to like my friends. It's hard for me to like my friends when they're telling me my body is gross, which is what you're doing. If I need to do the same thing to get it through your head that this feels bad, I will, but I hate having to do that. So please just think before you speak, yeah?
