~*~🎃 Time to slice and dice 🎃~*~

Multifandom, but typically in the throes of hyperfixation. Current re-obsession: Dean Winchester. 20-something, gay, man. He/him. Deancoded Deangirl 🥲

[angelsdean]

listening to the one tree hill girls podcast and they're talking abt peyton making a mixtape for lucas and then went off on a tangent abt making mixtapes for their crushes irl and how that was such a Thing and especially how Long mixes took to make and how you'd just be sitting for hours trying to get the timing right on all the songs and hilarie talking abt mixtapes being her love language and i'm just !!! 🥰 literally Everyone involved with spn is of that generation who Know Exactly what mixtapes mean, esp in pop culture, the inherent romantic connotations. they all knew exactly what they were doing when they made teen in the 90s dean winchester give cas that mixtape !!!!

[angelsdean]

"mixtapes really were such a way to convey feelings, i mean, my god, i remember--i remember in my mid-20s just like, i was like 'oh i am in LOVE' when i got like the best mix-CD, and i was like, 'you really know me. you get it.'" -- sophia bush

"i was seeing this guy, well we were kind of dancing around seeing each other...we just loved each other but we'd never say it...and i have all these memories of like nights in the Juliard hallway like saying goodnight like 'is he going to kiss me tonight? i don't know could it be now?' and he would hand me a mixtape...like 'i made you this' and then i'd go home and listen and just cry and like daydream and it was the best being young and in love." -- bethany joy lenz

like hello !!!!

[angelsdean]

HOLD ON, this podcast ep is really truly the gift that keeps on giving:

"I actually remember having like a 'does he like me or does he not like me?' moment with some friends in high school, and I finally was like, 'he doesn't like me, he's never made me a mixtape. It's not like that. We're just friends.' Like it was THAT big of a deal that if it never happened somebody wasn't--it wasn't like that. That wasn't the vibe. It was platonic. Mixtapes are not platonic" -- sophia bush

like these are people of the same generation as dean saying all this, they Know what the cultural experience and expectations surrounding mixtapes were, these are the same experiences dean would have grown up with, he knows well and good--esp being pop culture boy--exactly what making someone a mixtape means.

to quote hilarie burton in this ep: "You know how loaded mix tapes are, mixes mean business, man."

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

no YOU think john is homophobic. i think john catches dean with a guy and asks him if hes a part time gay, completely earnestly, because he can't remember the word for bisexual

destiel pride day 6 : profound bond :3

[assiraphales]

enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar

[assiraphales]

HELP

[morgan-tha-gorgan]

To this day, my favorite argument I ever had was with my Nascar-loving family about how a thin blue line flag on a Nascar is antithetical to the core tenets of Nascar. There is no organization more rooted in ACAB than Nascar. Literally, the only reason it exists was that a bunch of moonshining families had to build cars that could outrun the cops while on supply runs during the Prohibition Era. The goal was to make the car look like a regular vehicle so they could pick up supplies or drop off illegal alcohol without arousing suspicion. But if the cops were on you all you had to do was put the pedal to the metal and that little truck could outrun them with no problems. And of course, families would be in competition over who made the best alcohol, and whose car was fastest. So, they would have races on the weekends. When prohibition was lifted, the races continued. And that is why we have Nascar. It really frustrates me how people look at American car culture and scoff at it. Formula One racing is more exciting and more dynamic to watch, but the history of it is not as interesting: a bunch of rich assholes who made specialized cars for racing. And to this day, it is still a rich man's sport. Whereas Nascar was about a bunch of so-called hicks in the backwoods who used some basic hand tools and trial and error to make a junker into a racecar.

Our boy has come a long way... and then, in the blink of an eye, gone too far.

(Am I the only one who thinks, once Dean got into radical-self acceptance, that he'd be an absolute nuisance?)

(PS: I consider "queer" a positive term, and consulted my fellow queers for its usage in this case. We approved it for Dean ;D Happy Pride and stay safe out there!)

also a happy pride month to dean's four (or two) favorite things

[bloodydeanwinchester]

i don't even remember where or when i saved this but i love it so much because it's like. i am not a shipper, i don't like romance in my shows. but you'd have to be fucking stupid to not realize that dean is in love with cas. literally all you need is to have eyes and have watched the show to know it's true.

i think people tend to forget that dean is a gen Xer (a baby gen Xer, but a gen Xer nonetheless) whose home state had sodomy laws until uh, *checks* 2003 so there's this tendency to read any reluctance dean may have surrounding being out as him being cartoonishly repressed (or even cowardly!) instead of it being like, a normal reaction to have in response to the hideous homophobia of the 80s & 90s. it doesn't matter how safe a situation he's in now, you don't shake that kind of thing off easily. and while the above obviously lends itself well to repressed!dean readings, i think it's important to emphasise that it can absolutely coexist with if not perfectly complement aware-but-closeted!dean. you can know exactly who you are but still find it incredibly difficult to express due to the poisonous environment you grew up in.
