I'm Phoenix. I like to draw, cook, and drive... like... anywhere. My interests include—but are in NO WAY limited to—slasher movies and horror films, ice cream and French fries, Autumn-time, sunshine, and -so- many different types of music.
👋😎
My asks are as open as a book, and I'm down for chatting about nearly anything. =) I hope to figure out what sort of crud to post soon, so stick around and stand by. 💛

your romantic trope with dean is immediate attraction wrapped inside a stubborn slow burn. there’s no stage where either of you is completely unaware of the chemistry. your leo sun and moon make you warm, expressive, loyal, and difficult to ignore, while dean’s aquarius sun and mars are drawn toward people who feel vivid and entirely themselves. you aren’t mysterious because you hide; you’re mysterious because he can’t predict what you’ll make him feel next.
dean notices the physical attraction first. his leo rising means he’s naturally responsive to confidence, warmth, and physical presence, and your curvy figure, expressive brown eyes, and the red in your hair catching beneath sunlight become things he notices almost immediately. your scorpio mars gives you an intensity underneath the sweetness that catches him off guard. you can smile at him perfectly innocently and still leave him wondering whether you know exactly what you’re doing.
you’re the first to realise that the attraction’s become genuine emotion. your cancer mercury makes you very sensitive to what people don’t say, while your virgo venus notices love through details. you learn his habits, recognise when he’s exhausted before he admits it, and begin quietly making his life easier. you tell yourself that you’re simply thoughtful. meanwhile, you have memorised precisely how he takes his coffee and which painkillers work best for his shoulder.
dean knows he wants something to happen first. you understand that he matters first. he spends longer convincing himself the attraction’s temporary because admitting otherwise would mean accepting that you’ve become someone he could lose.
۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐨𝐛𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 .ᐣ
you become unusually attentive around dean. you don’t throw yourself at him, because your virgo venus wants proof that someone’s serious before you risk looking foolish. instead, you remember everything. you save him the better slice of pie. you notice when he hasn’t slept. you pretend not to watch his face when he laughs.
your leo moon gives you away, however, because your expression changes whenever he enters a room. you brighten. even when you’re irritated with him, you become more alive. sam notices long before either of you admits anything.
dean becomes more playful. his sagittarius moon and venus make teasing one of his safest ways to build intimacy, so he talks to you constantly, invents little arguments, and finds reasons to pull you into whatever he’s doing. his capricorn mercury keeps him from saying anything too revealing, but his behaviour becomes embarrassingly consistent. he always saves you the passenger seat. he checks where you are whenever a room becomes crowded. he chooses the diner booth beside you rather than across from you.
what gives him away is the way his body remains turned toward you. even while speaking to somebody else, part of his attention stays fixed on where you are.
you both suspect the attraction is mutual, but neither trusts the evidence. you worry his flirting is simply part of his personality. he mistakes your carefulness for friendly affection. everyone around you is forced to endure weeks of painfully obvious nonsense.
۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬
your first major romantic moment comes through an argument. your cancer mercury needs emotional honesty, while dean’s capricorn mercury tries to turn emotions into practical problems he can control. when he’s frightened, he becomes quieter. when you’re frightened, you need him to acknowledge why.
dean initiates the kiss, but you force the confession by refusing to let him hide behind sarcasm.
the motel door shuts harder than necessary.
“you don’t get to disappear for six hours and come back acting normal,” you snap.
“i was handling it.”
“alone! again!”
his jaw tightens. “you want me to say i was scared?”
“i want you to stop pretending i don’t matter enough to scare you.”
that silences him. dean crosses the room slowly. “livie, you matter enough that i don’t know what the hell to do with it.”
“you could start by not running.”
his hand settles around your waist. he waits there, watching you. “tell me to stop.”
you shake your head.
the kiss begins carefully, almost cautiously, before weeks of frustration take over. his mouth becomes hungrier when you pull him closer, but his hand never stops holding you as though the tenderness matters just as much.

۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
you love through remembering. your virgo venus expresses affection through useful, thoughtful acts: cleaning a cut properly, packing something dean forgot, saving food for him, or replacing an empty bottle before he notices. you make people feel loved by paying attention.
dean’s sagittarius moon and venus show affection through shared experiences. he wants you beside him in the impala, sitting across from him in diners, and laughing with him during the rare moments when life’s easy. when he invites you along, he isn’t merely asking for company. he’s making room for you inside his life.
the misunderstanding comes because you sometimes need reassurance spoken plainly, while dean believes returning to you should be evidence enough. he assumes that if he keeps choosing your company, you must know how he feels. you assume that if you take care of him, he must understand how deeply you care.
eventually, you learn to say what you need instead of hoping he notices. dean learns to text when plans change, tell you when he’ll return, and occasionally say “i missed you” without disguising it as a complaint.
۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬
dean’s primary pet name for you is “sweetheart.” his sagittarius venus makes it sound playful at first, something dropped into conversation to test your reaction. over time, it becomes much softer. when he’s teasing, he stretches the word out. when he’s jealous, it becomes clipped and pointed. when he’s frightened, it escapes him almost breathlessly.
“sunshine” appears occasionally because your leo moon makes your presence difficult to separate from warmth. he usually uses it when you’re being dramatic or when you have somehow made an awful day bearable.
you mostly call him dee. your cancer mercury gives names emotional weight, so the way you say his real name often feels more intimate than a nickname. when you’re exhausted, affectionate, or scared, “amor” sometimes slips out. he pretends he not to be affected. he totally is.
۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡
dean’s most common touch is his hand at your waist. he loves your shape, but the gesture isn’t only attraction. it’s also his quiet way of keeping track of you. in crowded rooms, his palm settles against your lower back. walking past you in the bunker kitchen, his fingers brush your hip even when there’s plenty of space.
when he becomes protective, his hand moves to the back of your neck or closes firmly around your waist as he guides you behind him. he never treats you as incapable, but he needs to feel that he’s placed himself between you and danger.
when he needs reassurance, he becomes subtler. he links two fingers with yours beneath a diner table or rests his knee against yours in the impala. it’s his way of checking whether you’re still close without having to ask.
the unexpectedly intimate gesture is brushing your hair away from your face. he always pauses when the red highlights catch beneath the light. sometimes he simply looks at you for a second too long, fingers still resting near your cheek, as though he’s forgotten what he intended to say.
dean’s clingier, although he’d object loudly to the accusation.
your leo moon is comfortable admitting when you want attention. dean’s sagittarius moon values freedom, but once he becomes emotionally attached, he starts seeking your presence constantly. he follows you from the library to the kitchen under the excuse that he needed something. he sleeps better when part of his body is touching yours. he becomes irritable during long separations and then claims he’s merely tired.
after difficult hunts, the clinginess becomes physical. he sits close enough that your thighs touch, puts his head in your lap, or hooks his fingers through one of your belt loops while standing beside you. he never says that he needs reassurance. he simply arranges himself around you until his breathing settles.
you ask for closeness more openly. dean needs it more deeply.
۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲
your jealousy is quieter than dean initially expects. your libra rising keeps you pleasant in public, but your leo moon needs to feel proudly and unmistakably chosen. when someone flirts with dean, you become extremely polite. almost suspiciously polite. later, however, you ask very specific questions.
your scorpio mars means jealousy becomes serious when you sense dishonesty or ambiguity. you can handle attention from other people. what you can’t tolerate is feeling as though dean enjoys keeping you uncertain.
dean’s aquarius side dislikes possessiveness in theory. unfortunately for him, his feelings for you aren’t theoretical. when somebody flirts with you, he moves closer, places a hand at your waist, and joins the conversation wearing a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. he becomes competitive without admitting it.
playful jealousy can lead to teasing and particularly affectionate behaviour afterward. genuine conflict happens when either of you deliberately tries to provoke the other. you both have too much pride to enjoy being made publicly uncertain.
you need dean to say that he chooses you. dean needs you to show that nobody else receives the version of you that belongs inside the relationship.

۫ ꣑ৎ 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
the sexual attraction is immediate, but acting on it takes time. your scorpio mars makes desire intense and focused, while dean’s aquarius mars is attracted to tension, unpredictability, and discovering what makes somebody lose control. together, you create the kind of chemistry that makes an accidental touch feel suspiciously intentional.
dean notices your waist, thighs, mouth, and the contrast between your softness and confidence. you notice his hands, shoulders, voice, and the way his expression changes whenever you challenge him.
the tension builds through prolonged eye contact, arguments that end with both of you standing too close, and touches that last slightly longer than necessary. dean creates the first genuinely sexual opportunity, but you give the unmistakable permission to continue.
you need to feel desired openly. praise affects you more than you admit, especially when it’s specific. dean needs to feel genuinely wanted rather than merely allowed. your directness gives him that certainty.
the motel room is dark except for the bathroom light. dean’s hand rests on your stomach, completely still. “you sure?”
you guide his palm lower. “i would tell you.”
something in his face softens before he kisses you again. he undresses you slowly, mouth following every newly exposed inch, pausing between your thighs until you pull him closer and say his name.
when he presses inside you, the first movement is slow enough to make your breath shake. you wrap your legs around him, asking for more without hiding behind sweetness.
“i got you, sweetheart,” he murmurs against your mouth.
the pace becomes deeper and rougher, but never careless. control passes between you naturally: his hand holding your hip, your fingers in his hair, each of you learning when the other wants tenderness versus intensity.
afterward, dean brings water and checks whether you’re sore. you talk first. then he pulls you against his chest and refuses to let you disappear into the bathroom. he falls asleep with one hand spread over your hip, as though even unconscious, he needs proof you’re still there.

you fall first. dean falls harder.
your virgo venus makes you recognise love while it’s still forming. you notice changes in your own behaviour and understand what they mean. dean takes longer because admitting love means accepting responsibility, vulnerability, and the possibility of loss.
he returns to the bunker after a hunt you missed and finds the entire place wrong without you. the kitchen is too quiet. the garage feels empty. there’s nobody in the library telling him he’s been staring at the same page for ten minutes. your absence changes the shape of his safety.
once committed, dean becomes more consistent than either of you expected. he tells you where he’s going. he makes decisions with your existence in mind. he starts speaking about future plans and automatically includes you.
falling harder doesn’t make him suddenly fearless. it makes him accountable. you become someone he doesn’t merely love, but someone he actively builds his life around.

Color me both shocked and pleased. Like a lot of people I know, I grew up with Linda as Velma in the live action Scooby Doo movies; and, now, as a generally fresh horror fan, seeing this level of casting makes me high key happy. ^ ^ What are your thoughts?
