My art piece for the Anime Bang (DCAB)!
Check the banner piece by @twinone1221
I was luckily paired with @ayaainanutshell with the fic inspired by anime 91 Days, @twinone1221 as the other artist collaborator! Thank my collaborators for the joyful experience and thank the bang mods for organizing it!
(Will update the Tumblr handles and the art and fic post links later)
"You know, we could have gone to the city and watch all the fireworks 'n shit but I think this is nice, too. Also Sammy was convinced I would blow my hand off or something if I were to grab any rockets."
"Dean I have seen fireworks since humanity first lit them, I'm just happy to celebrate New Year's Eve with you here in the quiet"
"Stop making me all— Shut it and light up the sparkler Cas"
In the forgotten garden tucked behind the bunker, the night breeze carried a refreshing chill. Dean twirled his sparkler, crafting odd loops and intricate figures in the air, sending sparks dancing. Castiel simply cherished this rare moment, observing his cherished human, finally at peace after what felt like an eternity.
💚💙💚💙
Happy New Year my dudes and dudettes! Stay safe and don't blow each other up😅💖

Rule one of fandom: there are some things that only exist for us.
Don’t send actors fics
Don’t give them explicit art ever
Don’t tag them in rpf questions or theories
Don’t try to bring them into fandom drama of any kind
Don’t hold them responsible for what the producers and writers decide
They’re still people. They have private lives, which do not include fandom.
A lot pf people don’t understand this and it’s a shame
ALSO: DO NOT SHIP REAL PEOPLE WHO PLAY CHARACTERS WITH EACHOTHER??? THEY ARE NOT THEIR CHARACTERS!
No.
If you want to bash rpf shippers for *existing*, make your own post.
RPF has been a part of fandom since the beginning, and I’d highly recommend doing some research into the topic; as always, Fanlore is a good place to start.
The problem with RPF is when people breach the fourth wall, which fandom is doing more often as the internet expands and becomes the current culture, and newcomers to fandom either are not taught or do not care about the basic rules (i.e. the purpose of this post). The problem is not with people having fantasies or telling stories.
Fandom is transgresive by nature as much as it is transformative, because we are thieves and magpies and because here we’re allowed to talk about things that we’re not supposed to in mainstream culture. I have never seen a space like fandom creates, where people are able to share their desires and fantasies and kinks openly and *talk* about the taboo.
And when people come along and talk about how RPF shouldn’t even exist, it is frequently less rooted in a concept of “this causes this specific harm” and more “this is disgusting and I don’t want it near me, how can this even exist.” It causes discomfort because it’s rooted in taboos (talking about sexual fantasies in public, openly, even though those same fantasies are well acknowledged in pop culture - think about the concept of the “free pass”).
When people break the fourth wall and get the actors involved, sending fics (or letters back in the old days), explicit images, harassing them online or at conventions and concerts, they have committed actions that cause harm. And there is real harm, I’ve done my digging and seen the results in bandoms and fandoms (hell, my fandom has done some things over the years.)
Thoughts are not actions. Fantasies do not make you a villain, telling stories is not a sin (though it has been a crime). Sharing those things with other people is part of what makes fandom culture what it is.
There are conversations that need to happen about objectification and dehumanization, there are conversations (like this post was meant to be) about maintaining healthy boundaries and treating the actors as people when we interact with them; there are conversations that need to happen about how much more mainstream fandom is now than it was fifty years ago, and what that does to the relationship dynamic we have with our creators and actors, what may need to change as we move forward. The Hockey RPF fandom’s solution to that problem was to lock a great deal of their content so that the fourth wall could not be breached.
RPF is the single greatest squick I have dealing with fandom; the way people talk in my fandom hits my “someone is altering my sense of reality” button really hard. I frequently have to blacklist it to control my exposure to the low-level shipping that permeates everything in my community, otherwise I get punchy. But my discomfort with the topic doesn’t mean I’m ever okay with throwing those people out of the communities they helped build.
I don’t have to like something to defend it. Fandom is built by people who were told “you shouldn’t do that, go back to the shadows”, and we are not doing vague purity-culture and thought police nonsense tonight.
OP, fantastic post but this rebuttal is a thing of pure beauty. Thank you.
I've been upsettingly busy this month, but here's some Soft Boi Doods (NoHomo) I managed to get done.

It's DCBB season again!! I was so luckily paired with @seidenapfel (who is also my partner for Dadstiel this year) and this so sweet fix-it of Season 10!
Banner
This image jumped into my mind immediately when I saw the fic and I made it in 2 or 3 days haha (so sad I was really busy this DCBB season) it was so hard to make things visible when everything is so dark but I kinda love how the color and light turned out in the end :D
The Beginning
It is the beginning of everything, it is the epic moment of two worlds connecting, it's the start of a a new life... haha I have been wanting to draw demon!Dean x Angel!Cas for so long and I knew I must draw this one as soon as I saw the draft 🤣 But I cannot actually form a good enough image in my mind and I changed the sketch and pose several times 😶 I am still not satisfied with the result but the no more time so 😶 (and I hope it survives 🤞)
Healing
I love the moment Dean touches Cas' wings and their daughter's grace heals it immediately when I saw it - I always want Cas' wings restored and their daughter healing it is perfect. Strong light in a dark environment is still so difficult for me 😥 (the entire image is still too dark I guess) but I don't have much time to adjust it 😥
To my Author, fellow artist, and mods
I am so happy to be paired with seidenapfel again :D She is also my author for the Dadstiel bang this year hahah we were still working on the dadstiel piece when DCBB claiming happened. When the pairing result was released shortly after the claiming began she messaged me immediately and I couldn't believe the luck 🤣 I was quite busy in the past few months and she was supportive and encouraging as always :D And the story is a so sweet and warm altered version of S10 which gives me everything I wanted :D Please go give it a read if it's your thing!
I didn't have much online time but I sneaked peeks here and there at other participants' art and they are all so amazing! So happy to join this event with so many talented artists :D Ah also I got so many helpful suggestions for my banner!
And I want to say thank you to all Mods! The mods team is as reliable and responsive as always and thank you so much for running such a great event every year!
hamburgergod‘s icon change for the month was really cute

Summary:
Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 1995. After being stowed with their Uncle Bobby for the foreseeable future, Dean and Sam set out to make the most of their summer ‘vacation’. When they aren’t filling warm afternoons splashing in the creek, riding their bicycles, or suffering through old TV reruns, they’re in for cleanup duty. Namely, sorting through all of Bobby’s old crap.
One day, while rummaging through the long-forgotten attic, Sam discovers an antique spirit board and convinces a skeptical Dean to try summoning a spirit. The results of which turn out to be a little more supernatural than Dean bargained for.

[Horrofest 2023] Can You See Me?
Link to fic | Author’s AO3
My piece for Horrorfest this year! I am so lucky to be paired with @kingdumbass and this beautiful story between ghost!Cas and young Dean :D
- Touch -
I picked this scene when I read the fic for the first time. It reminds me of the first meet between Dean and Cas in the show so much and I just cannot let it go - the collision of two worlds. I still didn't get the effect of sparkles right but thank this fic for giving me a chance to draw it!
- To my author who is also the mod -
I want to say thank you to my author kingdumbass! I still haven't seen the full fic yet, but the part I have read is very beautiful and nostalgic. I am so looking forward to the full work! Also thank them for organizing such a great bang for horror stories :D
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My piece for Monsterfluffer this year! I am so lucky to be paired with @motherofdragonflies :D A spicy and fluff fic featured with a hunter and a wolf-werefolf!!
- Banner -
I had several sketches for the banner and all of them are Dean and wolf!Cas snuggling together haha Just cannot let go the idea of holding a big fluffy warm wolf :D My author chose this one and I love
- After -
hmmm 😏 You know what is under the censor mask :D
The wolf is sooo challenging (never really drew any animal before 😭) and it is even more challenging to make them *connected* :D but with some handwavy change of anatomy I kind of made it work.... 😏

Bad Moon Rising
Author: bexgowen (@motherofdragonflies) Artist: Ephemera (@ephemerastardust) Pairings: Dean/Cas No Major Archive Warnings Tags: Bestiality, Dubious Consent, Alternative Universe - Supernatural Elements, Werewolf!Castiel, Hunter!Dean, Mating Cycle, Wolf/Human Sex, Rough Sex, Knotting, Happy Ending Summary: When Dean Winchester is called into work the day of the full moon, his werewolf husband Castiel assures him that he will be fine. But events conspire against Dean and by the time he gets home the sun has set and Cas has Changed and broken out of the house in search of his mate.
Desperate to get Cas home before the Lycan Task Force catches him and locks him up, Dean comes up with a plan: Dean wants Cas to come home.
Cas wants Dean.
If Dean runs, Cas will chase him.
But can Dean handle what will happen if Cas catches him?
Preview: “Cas?” Dean cupped his hands around his mouth, sucked in a deep breath, and yelled. “CAS!”
Somewhere deep in the forest, a wolf howled in response.
Dean spun, trying to determine which direction the howl came from. He cupped his hands around his mouth again and howled back then waited, ears straining to pick up any sound of movements from the dark forest around him. He slowly slipped the tranq gun from where he had shoved it in the waistband of his pants and held it low and ready. One dart would do fuck all to put Cas down, and Cas would give him endless shit for shooting him, but if Dean couldn’t reason with Cas, couldn’t convince him to come home, then it might buy him a few seconds to come up with plan C.
What he’d do with those few seconds, he didn’t know.
There came a crashing sound off to Dean’s right. Something large was moving through the underbrush towards him, and Dean felt his heart skip a beat.
A large black wolf stalked into the clearing, and even as Dean’s instincts told him to run, even as the adrenaline pumped through his body at the sight of the predator, another part of Dean relaxed.
Cas.
