another basic Supernatural blog

[ghost-facer]

I created this blog to give myself more motivation and inspiration to write spn fics, but it didn’t work. I’m actually completely unmotivated and uninspired for this fandom now. I don’t know when I’ll write for spn again if I ever do. I’m keeping this blog up and might post gifs every once in a while, but I’m not going to be that active on here anymore.

Twenty-Fourth Day of Gift-Giving

Twenty-Four Touches

Softly getting hold of the other’s hand, afraid to make a mistake

A casual touch on the shoulder to acknowledge them

Foreheads pressed together, a silent way to say “I’m here”

A gentle hand holding the other’s neck while staring into their eyes

Whispering, lips almost touching the ear

A quick brush of hands, almost unnoticeable

Tracing the other’s lips with their finger

An arm sneaking around a waist, holding them close

Pressing their face into the other’s neck, hiding from the world

A hand in the other’s hair, not quite grabbing it

Sighing into the kiss, melting together at last

A swift kiss to the other’s cheek

Brushing away an unruly lock of hair

A firm handshake, professionally at first, but a second to long

Gently kissing the other’s knuckles

A tender hug, just staying together for a while

Hands rubbing together to warm them up

A firm hand grabbing the other’s elbow to guide them

Feeling for the other’s pules with their lips

A quick kiss on the crown of their hair

Sitting on the other’s lap, being hugged from behind

A slow dance, entangled with each other

Cold feet warming each other up under the blanket

A gentle kiss on the forehead, a sweet goodbye

24 Days of Gift-Giving

I did some of these prompts for Destiel as a daily drabble writing challenge I gave myself. Here’s my master list of them.

if sam was a girl she would be bella swan

this is deans insane little sister and she drinks blood and drives cars through buildings. if you even care.

the beginning of Changing Channels, before they get sucked into Gabriel's nightmare TV world, is interesting to me because it's yet another of those moments where the actual real benefit hunters can provide is highlighted. the local sheriff clearly doesn't give a crap about actually helping the victim's wife, he just wants to get a weird case off his plate and close the book on it. the way she parrots back the guy's exact words when Sam and Dean interview her later— "it must have been a bear, what else could it have been," what the sheriff said verbatim— clearly illustrates how much of a catastrophic failure this shitty cop is, convincing this woman she couldn't have seen what she saw during a traumatic event

but the Winchesters get real answers out of her and despite how weird her answer is ("I saw my husband get attacked by The Incredible Hulk"), they do take her seriously and pursue the line of questioning seriously and it's like yeah, this is where we should be seeing the value of hunters. they're not monster cops, they're people who have the knowledge to step in and believe people, protect people that the criminal punishment system has no interest in caring about.

unfortunately the show doesn't lean into that nearly as much as it should, but the seeds of the concept are very much there in canon, and I wish they were given more room to grow.

all Cas-related breakdowns aside, I do wish Jesse the Antichrist had come back as a laid back surfer dude with awesome reality-warping power in late seasons to be a recurring character. he, Jack, and Apocalypse World Kevin Tran could have been traumatized besties and had a hilarious War Of The Sexes prank rivalry with Claire, Alex, and Patience that rapidly falls apart once everyone realizes Jack, Claire, Jesse, and Patience all have too much gender shit going on for the dividing line to make any sense and they end up just being a big chaos squad and make it their lives' mission to give TFW ulcers from stress

"Whatever you do, you will always end up here. Whatever choices you make, whatever details you alter, we will always end up here. I win... so I win."

there are a lot of lines of Lucifer dialogue that are profoundly Chuck-coded, but this is the single most Chuck thing he says in the entire series, I think.

[ilarual]

#okay but lucifer s5 is deeply aware that the game is rigged. that there's no free will#some people when they realize the game is rigged decide to break the game altogether (cas)#others try to simply become the person rigging it (lucifer)#(there's also the person who realizes everything is futile & tries to rush to the end of the game aka raphael. he just wants it to be over)#so lucifer being chuckcoded is very appropriate because he ultimately doesnt want to create free will for everyone#he just wants to become the gamemaster#instead of making everything a fair gamble when he realizes that the house always wins he simply chooses to become the casino itself#you cant beat 'em. so join 'em#lucifer is profoundly aware that everything is determined and there's no free will but he thinks he can hack the system#he realizes that chuck is cruel and ultimately cares more about a dramatic story than he ever cares about his creations#so he thinks that as long as he creates a dramatic story for him then he'll be allowed to win#michael also knows there's no free will 'free will is an illusion dean'#he thinks that trying to play by the game's rules is the only right thing because fighting against the game would be futile#so michael would knowingly destroy himself if that's what the game said to do#because he's doomed either way so he might as well be dignified about it#like s5 truly is a fascinating study of how these different characters deal with the knowledge that they have no free will#team free will obviously try to break the game altogether but it's interesting how they go about it#ultimately sam decides to play along with the grand plan and hopes that he can somehow derail the game at the final moment#and jump into the pit and isnt that wild. basically a version of what lucifer also thinks. 'i will make the game work for me'#and. well. i wont go into my crazy theory about why that even worked#but uh. i love all of them. i'm deeply obsessed with all these s5 characters (not later seasons lucifer) & i havent even mentioned gabriel

@i-have-doubts would you like your standing ovation now or later???

the different archangels' different approaches to coping with their abandonment and the inevitably of a world with no free will is endlessly fascinating, both as a reflection of our three protagonists (because don't think I didn't spot Raphael as a twisted/inverse mirror of Castiel) and as a narrative thread in and of themselves.

Supernatural S10E19 The Werther Project

[ilarual]

no but. okay. taking Dabb out of the equation as the architect of all this and just focusing on the story itself... this is such a fascinating, beautiful growth arc for Cas.

because here we have him in season 5 looking at Jesse The Antichrist, this good-hearted, half-human child, telling him "be not afraid" with a blade hidden behind his back. he's not willing to take the risk, not willing to roll the dice on Jesse being able to make the right decision.

and then he goes through so many things, makes so many of his own wrong decisions, learns so much about how hard it actually is to even know the right thing to do in the first place. and initially he's on the same track with Jack that he was with Jesse— Kelly and Lucifer's baby is too dangerous to be born, he could too easily destroy the whole world (and in fact does come close to that on a few occasions). but ultimately he chooses to trust Jack and in doing so becomes a father himself to an adopted son, just like Jesse.

[ilarual]

that said, it does make my frustration with the way Cas's switch from "doesn't believe in Jack" to "does believe in Jack" is facilitated by magic fetus vision brainwashing and suddenly believing in fate and destiny and predetermination again even more intense.

society if Cas had arrived at that conclusion on his own after a long talk with Kelly and changed his mind on Jack deserving a chance without having to be promised the same paradise-on-earth schlock Heaven was peddling in S4/5.......

i think dean would need almost no excuse to call cas sweetheart like the man has been holding that one back for six years at least and i think as soon as they were in a situation where he was minus even one inhibition he’d be like cas sweetheart baby honey. sweetheart. sweetheart. sweetheart. and then he’s a goner pandora’s box will NOT be getting closed ever

[ubersam]

things that are never mentioned ever in supernatural now but had major psychological impact on sam:

- he watched his girlfriend (potential fiancée) burn to death (and he had nightmares about it in the first couple episodes of s1 and probably still to this day)

- he was forced to watch so many people die through his premonitions

- especially during the first couple seasons, he was constantly seen as a freak/monster (hunted by gordon, immune to croatoan virus, bullied by dean)

- meg used his body to assault the hunter, jo, and dean

- he had to shoot the first girl he opened up to romantically since jess’s death

- he carries the weight of dean’s demon deal and blames himself (and had to watch as his brother was ripped to shreds)

- HE!! HAD! TO!! WATCH!! HIS!! BROTHER!! DIE!! OVER!! 100!! TIMES!! IN!! MYSTERY!! SPOT!!

- he was on drugs and depressed and suicidal and basically a full-time alcoholic while dean was dead

- ruby (someone he trusted!!) manipulated him into becoming an addict and breaking the last seal (which he entirely blames himself for) (even though dean broke the first seal in hell) (and he was only in hell because HE made the crossroads deal)

- a ghoul who looked like adam, his newly found brother, sliced his arms open like he was an animal (this was LITERALLY never mentioned again)

- sam’s detox is almost never mentioned and it was extremely emotionally and physically painful

- lucifer is generally seen as evil, right? well sam was told that he is lucifer’s perfect vessel and he believes that he is inherently evil bc of this

- in ‘swap meat’ gary used sam’s body to have sex

- sam has to live with all of the people his soulless body hurt (and dean berated him the entire season for not having a soul) (which wasn’t his fault in any way, shape, or form)

- cas, someone else that he trusted, broke the wall in his head causing hallucinations of his centuries in lucifer’s cage

- non con with becky. i don’t have to say anything else.

- his lucifer hallucinations tortured him to the point of refusing to sleep and eat… he was in a mental hospital for crying out loud!!!!!

- the first girl he kissed after jess was killed was killed by crowley

- THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT THE TRIALS WHICH LITERALLY LED SAM TO SAY “SO?” WHEN HE WAS TOLD THAT HE’S GONNA DIE

- AND WHEN DO THEY DISCUSS GARDEEL NOW?? never!!!! dean tricked sam into accepting a being into him that he KNEW sam wouldn’t say “yes” to because of his past experience with lack of autonomy.

- and gadreel used sam’s body to kill people, including kevin who they thought of as a brother (and sam has said that he wakes up seeing his hands killing kevin)

- sam was willing to die when cas was extracting grace

- sam refused to give up dean’s location at the beginning of s10 to cole, even though dean was a demon

- SAM WAS TORTURED BY COLE. WHY IS THIS NEVER BROUGHT UP???

- sam was verbally abused by demon! dean (i know dean was a demon but sam was visibly shaken when he was talking about mary)

- once again, sam was willing to die in ‘the werther project’ and basically slit his own wrist

- sam obviously vomited after seeing charlie’s dead body

- dean wouldn’t even allow sam to speak at charlie’s funeral and was told that he should be the dead one

- sam was brutally beaten by his brother in “brother’s keeper” and was ONCE AGAIN ready to die

- sam was sick with the darkness virus at the beginning of s11 and cured himself + other infected people WITHOUT ANYBODY’S HELP

- sam willingly approached lucifer for help with amara, despite being tortured for centuries

- SAM WAS TORTURED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AT THE BEGINNING OF S12 (INCLUDING NON CON) and then worked with his abuser for the remainder of the season

- *whispers* and sam being killed by the vamp at the end of s13 will probably not be mentioned again :’))))))

[seasononesam]

The visions only happen when I reach out to God. I asked him for a way to beat the Darkness and the visions got more specific – and I was in the Cage.

Feel free to drop a line if you ever need anything…Or even if you just want to hang out. You can’t call me, though. Okay. I mean, you could call, but I won’t answer.

Is it just me, or is there a major lack of comments in spn fic recently. I didn’t get any comments on the new fic I posted, and I’ve been the first to comment on several of the newer fics I’ve read with a lot of kudos.

[mrcowboydeanwinchester]

early seasons sam is just that bit spoiled and i think that is just a feat in itself on dean's behalf. he managed to raise a kid in a motel room off of macaroni cheese and second hand clothes but he sacrificed enough that sam still grew to be spoiled and petty. that s1 dynamic where sam has absolutely no clue about any of the shit dean went through is actually so so important because it shows just how stupidly good dean was at putting on a front of normality and protecting his brother. not only has dean been performing his whole life he's been performing parenthood his whole life and it was a success. dean's performances didn't start as self protection they started in the same way a mother performs to their child that everything is okay as the world falls to pieces around them. as s12 says, it's not fair and dean can't do it, but sam's spoiled s1 nature is a sign of how successful dean actually was

[bamf-castiel]

In case you were wondering, I wasn’t kidding Smoking, priest-like punk!Cas who looks like he’s ready to fuck shit up.   

[castielcommunism]

also like no shit sam wanted to be a lawyer. I think there’s a genuine belief in him that if he can present his case to somebody and reveal the truth of the matter, justice will be done. like that’s a big reason WHY he gets into so many fights with john. john’s behaviour is irrational and unpredictable, and sam takes that as an epistemological injustice. like his dad is WRONG, and therefore the punishment he doles out is wrong. so sam thinks maybe if I can PROVE he’s wrong then the punishment will stop. when like in reality the truth is an irrelevant factor here. people aren’t abusive because they’re factually incorrect and just need to be told the truth of whatever circumstance they’re responding to. but I think sam has a very idealistic streak in him about the truth having this higher power over people, that sunlight is always the best disinfectant, and even after living with his father for years he still wasn’t fully disabused of that notion
