if you think about it the madness of 2020-2022 destiel blogging was training for the heated rivalry hegemonic possession of all culture. like i am not immune to the madness of it all but i am able to Be Mostly Normal.

some of my dear sweet friends have to deal with this level of fictional character induced mania with no prior experience. they have no idea about e tu brute? or the onion field or the spanish dub. they never fought in the sam girl wars. they don’t stand a CHANCE.

does it indicate anything about me that I immediately recognized what paper this figure is from

[curlicuecal]

so I had to immediately go and pull this other amazing figure from the paper, which is "THE HEXAGON" a device with six rooms for fruit flies to have sex in and a central room for a fruit fly to observe six couples having sex at once

[shinyrock6498]

Is the goal to see if being able to observe multiple options simultaneously effects the watching flies' choices?

[curlicuecal]

hello, thank you for asking, I was basically sitting over here vibrating hoping for the opportunity to infodump more

so the things about making decisions is that it takes a bunch of time and energy and brain power to gather and assess information, and it is evolutionarily advantageous to cheat and offload as much of the work as possible onto other people. thus, there is natural selection for observing other people's decisions and mimicking them.

in a lot of critters, this means it is advantageous to watch who someone else picks for sex so you can copy what they decided was sexy when you select your own partner

the simplest version of the fly sex panopticon is basically just a 2-chamber tube where scientists can orchestrate sex shows for fruit flies.

("watch a demonstration" is scientist code for watch anorthern pair of fruit flies have sex)

you can very quickly instill a preference: cover male fruit flies with pink or green fluorescent powder, and then let a female fly observe another female fly having sex with a pink male. the observer will conclude that pink is extremely sexy and be much more likely to select a hot pink male herself. by switching the colors and the learned preference to green, you can demonstrate that this is indeed learned behavior, and not some kind of pre-existing genetic preference.

the 6-way "sexagon" was invented for this paper to test how seeing different ratios of pink vs. green males being chosen would affect the development of preference.

the cool thing about this graph is it shows it didn't matter if there were only slightly more of the the females picking pink or green males, the observer would still develop a preference for whatever the majority were choosing.

the whole paper is very cool, and absolutely worth a read:

it argues (and supports experimentally) that since preferences can be learned and passed on, fruit flies have an actual culture that can vary among populations and be transmitted to youngsters across generations.

this is super cool, because most studies proposing or examining the existence of culture in animals have been focused on higher level stuff like monkeys. if something as simple as a fruit fly can have a culture, this suggests that animal culture could have had huge effects on evolution from the ground up.

so yes, animal culture! fruit fly culture! very cool

but also an excellent evolutionary argument for voyeurism

the sheer frequency of the phrase "decapitated virgin females" does imply as much

when a film or tv show takes place somewhere where you have been, it is your sacred duty as viewer to say “i’ve been there” every time you recognize a place

When a film or TV show claims to take place somewhere but you been there and it is your sacred duty as a view to say “no the hell that is not there.”

[kinky-cas]

in a version of supernatural less afraid of queerness, i think dean’s favorite singer is bruce springsteen. it’s all there! leather jackets. complicated relationship with a father you’ll never be man enough for. dissection of working class american masculinity as a performance. homoeroticism. meaningful relationships with women but the great love of your life is a man. skinny jeans. passion and loneliness and dreams unfulfilled. horny about cars, even!

[redstonedust]

i wish i could point at my mom and be like ah yes thats the tool that gave me social anxiety but comically my parents were actually fairly chill. like i was never threatened with punishment but kid me decided to construct my own rules and then lived in constant fear of breaking them. like girl at least it makes sense when the catholics get haunted by guilt. what was my excuse.

When Eileen or whoever Sam's blurry wife is in a throw away line in a fic is pregnant to show that Sam's happy and doing good it kinda revolts me not gonna lie. We're really putting 2.5 kids on whatever woman shaped object is in Sam's love life? And on Sam for that matter? Who, by the end of the show, expressed zero interest in having a little baby and said he felt fulfilled by hunting, despite its downsides.

One of the reasons Sam and Eileen work well together is that they're both hunters and feel able to lean on each other in that regard, and yet pregnancy or motherhood is often the only thing we hear about Eileen in these cases. She's made into an incubator. Is the only vision of happiness she's allowed becoming Mary from the first minute of the Pilot?

[kerryweaverlesbian]

Some ideas of things that could be pointed to to show that Eileen and Sam are being happy in one line, in place of pregnancy:

- they're researching [obscure topic], and they love it

- Eileen is in space right now as a successful astronaut, and Sam couldn't be prouder, he keeps emailing updates on the flight to everyone

- they're running a combat training course and kicking ass together

- they've just moved in to a new apartment*

*one could say house but I feel that this also echos 2.5 kids in a suburban house white picket fence dream and would still personally feel a little skeeved by it, although less so than with pregnancy

- they've almost completed their collection of [ancient texts/kind of ancient weapon/serial killer memorabilia/whatever], which they have not shut up about for 5 years

- Sam is getting a book published in [ancient language] translation, and Eileen is aggressively marketing it to everyone they know

- They got a parrot* who will not shut up which only annoys Sam, and has to be locked in a sound proof room when they're spell casting

*it could be a dog, whatever, I just think it's more interesting and funny to do an unusual pet. It's free real estate for adding a joke or a personality trait. Maybe Eileen is obsessed with mice, you don't know.

- they're both in Ireland/on a road trip for a vaycay

- they're co-creating a true crime/mixology blog

- they planted a herb garden and it's come out great this year

(Feel free to add more ideas everypony!)

[payphoneangel]

They're globe trotting, finding each of Rowena's hideouts and archiving the spells/cursed objects/magic whathaveyou they find

They're attending Law School together, with the intention of opening a private practice to help victims of monster-related legal trouble

They're opening an X-men-esque school for psychic/monster/hunter kids to offer resources and community to kids like them so no one has to grow up as isolated as they did (bonus points if Garth and his pack are involved)

They host ASL classes for the hunting community bc it turns out having a non-spoken form of communication is actually really helpful on hunts

They're organizing the hunter/swingers community

They become professors at the same college and every time a student asks how they met each other the story changes

They run a youtube video essay channel (with a focus on history/mythology)

In a similar vein as previous bullet, Eileen runs a weapons review vlog and Sam is her cameraman

They get really into horses.

Some further suggestions from the tags:

#they should have been on a beach for the epilogue #they could be writing “ghost hunting for dummies” #they could be making a marble statue of Dean and Cas #they could be babysitting Garth's twins and realizing they're child free

#i wanted to see Sam and whoever running the bunker as a community base for hunters across the country#teaching. training. coordinating. hell throw in a 'hunters kids' daycare if you think Sam needs toddlers getting under his feet#supernatural is about family. but not the nuclear family. it's about community

#they are helping build the hunter resource library and having freaky ass bdsm sex w rowena

#they opened a dog rescue#sam tired a new spell and now eileen is tiny and riding around in his pocket while they consult rowena on how to fix it

#sorry your life is so complicated. we have#no kids and surfed on sharks last week#Yknow how sitcom main characters have those friends who show up every few episodes who are like ?#That's sam and eileen to me
