not the claire jack beef anon BUT i also think that they would have issues with each other at least at first. like, for one, that we see, cas never gives jack The Talk about claire, or vice versa, so they would absolutely see the other as this second secret family. dean also has a CLEAR favorite between the two, and each kind of lives the other's dream life. jack wants to be safe and loved unconditionally, and a chance at a normal life, like claire has with jody, donna, alex, patience, and wendy. claire is incapable of slowing down and wants the big adventures cas, sam, and dean get into. claire i think has maybe forgiven cas about jimmy, but being dumped in favor of this other kid, the child of the devil (who canonically killed jimmy!) might be a bridge too far and jack doesn't respond all that well to that kind of discomfort and misplace hostility.

I love your conceptualization of the vibes being reminiscent of the Secret Second Family. It also calls to mind an echo of Adam & Kate Milligan, doesn't it, even though it's not an exact one-to-one? It's uncomfortable. I like it.

Yes, Claire and Dean get along like hot jam on fire, and that's going to hurt, no matter how you slice it. Dean adores her.

And yes, you know, now that you mention it... Holy crap. Claire does have the life Jack wants. She's surrounded by a big family that loves her with built-in friends her own age that Get The Life. Absolutely, it would appear perfect to him, at least from the outside. I'm wholly accepting that little gem into my worldview.

And yes, it's a good observation that Jack doesn't respond all that well to that misplaced hostility. He can be very defensive.

And yes, I agree that this whole situation might be a step too far for Claire Powder-keg-Novak, even if she tries to swallow it down. I mean, she still sleeps with Grumpy Cat. In the 12x16 Ladies Drink Free script, Cas still emojis to her, sometimes, even two years out from their parting of ways.

She left them. Of course, she doesn't care. That's what she's going to tell herself, anyway.

CLAIRE: Who's Jack? ALEX/JODY (together): Lucifer's son. On Patience, silently reacting to that: Lucifer's son? What the fuck? On Claire-- a bit wounded to realize she knows so little about Sam and Dean these days.

What would you think if the writers pulled a fast one and had Judas not immediately die from the hanging? Instead, he was taken down and rejoices when he hears rumors of Jesus resurrection before soon dying of his neck injury.

Hi anon! And thank you for this ask!

As to this one, considering that Judas’ betrayal of Jesus and his fate is a well known part of the Gospels, I don’t see the show runners changing it from what’s in the Bible.

Would it be interesting to see? Yes. Would it make an interesting fic? Yes. But do I personally see it happening? No. And I feel like showing something like this would get a mixed bag of reactions. Some would like it and some wouldn’t. And I just can’t see Dallas and the crew doing something like this in my opinion given that they try to stick to what’s written in the Bible as much as possible.

Again, thank you for asking, and may God bless you today and always ❤️

Have you ever masturbated to someone’s fic?

Babe I’m masturbating to this ask right now. Mmmmm, yeah, you like making people uncomfortable, anon?

If you were genuinely curious, a public forum isn’t really the best place to ask. It’s also not really something you should expect people to be comfortable answering publicly. But the fact you sent this to so many people in the fandom just screams disingenuous and slut-shamey, and we’ll have none of that in this house thank you.

Y’all are free to do whatever you like to, about, and in the presence of my fics. I would be flattered.

Main reasons you not like Snape as a character and reasons you might despise him less - discuss

Hmmm not sure if I have understood this correctly but the biggest things that make me dislike Snape:

Tearing the picture of Lily and her husband and son and keeping Lily’s photo.

There is no mention, ever, of Snape regretting having joined the Death Eaters. His only regret is that he inadvertently told Voldy about the prophecy, thereby resulting in Lily’s death. It seems to imply if the prophecy had been about another family (eg the Longbottoms) he wouldn’t have given the whole incident another thought.

Speaking of which, the way he treats Neville because he’s annoyed that he wasn’t Voldy’s target…

Bullying kids. Don’t care what your reason is. Not having it.

Says - and I believe him - that he’d like Sirius to get caught in PoA and given the dementor’s kiss.

Outing Remus and not only resulting in him loosing his job but also gives Umbridge an excuse for Anti- Werewolf legislation to be passed.

Calling his best friend a mudblood- no excuse for it, ever. I don’t care how upset or humiliated he felt, this reveals a lot about him I think.

I might despise him less if…

We found out he did in fact regret joining the DEs aside from Lily’s death. Admitting that they were an evil organisation and what he had done was wrong?

If he was a different person with a nicer personality?

If he had moved on from Lily?

If he said something nice about James (albeit begrudgingly) to Harry. That would really make me like him so much more than trying to ruin James’ memory for Harry

Even if he kept his anger about James and Sirius but didn’t take it out on kids or Remus?

If he didn’t try to belittle Sirius in Grimmauld Place?

I know this sounds like a different person but that’s kind of what I’m talking about!??!?!

I've been really enjoying the 911 costume meta you put together every week and it's been super interesting! I've even caught myself watching other stuff and noticing costume that's sort of foregrounded and wondering what kind of significance it has.

And I'm curious about your process! How much of the sort of "language" of meanings are generally agreed upon in costuming vs put together by the show's costumers - like is checks signifying change a universal thing or something that developed over seasons? And I feel like you must have a spreadsheet with everyone's costumes (or an incredible memory), I'm always impressed by the recall to prior episodes (not a skill I have lol). (Sorry if you've answered these before! I only found your meta breakdowns this season)

Antislice, lovely having you in my inbox!

I'm so so sorry that this has taken me an age to get round to answering, especially as its such a good ask, but I am happy that you've started noticing costume related things in other shows!

So each show/ piece of media will create its own themes etc that it plays on - 911 is doing this with check and stripes more generally and then Buck being in white is a more character specific meaning. The thing with check is that it is by nature a pattern that has lots of crossings in it - that makes it a perfect metaphor for change - for being at a crossroads as it were, so its one that tends to get used more frequently and as a result is becoming a specific language in its own right. Thats how many of these costume languages and meanings develop - they either deliberately or inadvertently get used in one or two things to convey a message and then spiral from there into a specific meaning that becomes a trope in its own right. its like a costume version of knowing the person who goes off alone in a horror movie is going to die!

As for colours - there is a lot more in this - the meanings of different colours is something that has been around since before film existed - its been around for centuries, it is worth noting that different cultures apply different meanings to colours - red for example has a different meaning in Chinese culture than it does in western culture - so its always important to keep that in mind when watching something regardless of where it comes from - because a good designer will make use of these differences if they are dressing someone from a different background. When I did my degree in costume design, we had specific lectures and seminars on colour theory and in analysing its use in various media (they were my favourite classes 😎) because it is important to understand so that you can better tell the story you're trying to tell.

Much colour theory is known by your subconscious and most people go through life completely unaware that colour is affecting decisions they make - its something advertisers use to their advantage!

I like to think I have an incredible memory 😂 and I kind of do - it remembers most things (usually it recalls a costume but cant remember exactly which episode it appeared in!), but you're right - I do have a spreadsheet (well I have one for each main and one for guest cast!) with all the costumes listed - its a full costume plot andis based on the plots I used to create when I worked in the industry! It has time stamps, reference pictures and is colour coded for type of costume and if its connected to a theme - its a bit geeky of me but I love doing it!

The first thing I do before I start writing my meta is a rewatch where I fill out all costume details for the episode and add the reference pictures! Maybe I'll share it with everyone during the summer hiatus, but then again maybe that would be one step too far!!!

I hope this answers your questions and sorry again that I didn't get to it sooner! 💜💜💜
