Grab the Bull by the Horns by LeoArcana

Summary: They could be doing something normal, like research or interviewing witnesses of supernatural events, and Dean would slyly lift a wing or his tail and slide it beneath a layer of feathers. Castiel would tense and shuffle his wings, batting at Dean in hopes of making him stop. He never did. He could keep reaching over and sifting through the feathers, searching out every sensitive spot in attempt to break Castiel’s composure. It was a game of trying to break Castiel down into a flushed, gasping and hopefully groaning mess at all the wrong times. All the while Dean would stand there like everything was perfectly normal, maybe a little quirk of his lips or looking at him in mock curiosity and concern. Castiel hated him for it. But if Dean could play this game, then so could Castiel.

“I believe the phrase is ‘revenge is a dish best served cold’.”

Comments: 10/10 omg this is unbelievably hot. Features Demon Dean, horn kink, wing kink, and an unbelievable amount of teasing. Basically everything I love.

We've seen what happens when we make jokes on this site. Apollo just beams someone with the red rubber ball of prophecy.

If y'all don't watch it with Goncharov (1973) a real ass director is going to bring it to life

And that would be the funniest fuckin thing I've ever seen

"Dragan's design was intended to be big, masculine, and spiky, with lots of red and black. I wanted him to look like the vampire general equivalent of an expensive gaming chair."

And another thing!! Because it's almost 3am and Arcane is giving me emotions!! I don't care which game is better, in any aspect, I have no horse in that race. But the creative teams behind Arcane (and all of LoL's promo video stuff) beat the absolute shit out of Dragon's Blood. Like that wasn't even close.

Dragon's Blood is...fine. I think it really is depending on s2 to save it tho. The writers tried to pack too much in too short of time, and yes you could argue Netflix had a hand in that. It was produced so quickly, in a very basic/uninteresting art style, too many plot points introduced and therefore underdeveloped, very little character complexity and development, same for relationships. It wasn't anything memorable, I think it stands a real chance at dying with s2, despite DotA's popularity. If you ask me to tell you what happened in Dragon's Blood, I don't remember much even tho it was a few months ago. I don't even remember Dragon Knight's name. Honestly, if I didn't have friends super into DotA, I'd probably forget about it altogether.

ARCANE, HOWEVER. All of it is the opposite. It took years to make, it's been in works and studios for years. They could've, all this time, been making the same mistake on a grander scale (because of the time they had) of introducing so many plot points and characters. But instead!! They stuck with a small selection of characters and poured their effort into story and animation. These characters have depth, complexity, development, relate to each other beautiful, they feel real. And you can feel their realness, not just in the written dialogue, which has some slayer lines, but in the voice acting too, it's phenomenal. The interactions they have with each are deep and personal and they go for your heart. And it's a unique art style, it's not a generic american-anime style (not shitting on that, but by comparison...bruh), the blend of 3d with 2d accents and painted scenery is something alone, that if nothing is moving, it's seamless. And when things are moving, it's an engaging art style.

Arcane drives its story home with a sledgehammer, it kicks you in the back of the knees and slaps you. It had no right to go this hard, but it did and thank fuck it did.

This is a long winded way of saying even if you love DotA/shit on League, please please watch Arcane. Suspend your rivalry for a moment, detach from the games, and enjoy this art.

Dragon's Blood ended in a way that I don't care if s2 actually makes it to Netflix, I won't be upset and 52 started plot points that were barely vested in.

Arcane ended in way that if Netflix chooses not to pick it up I'll be upset it's still okay because the way it ended was so well done, it doesn't need a second season. We know what happens next, and ending on the note it did was tragically beautiful. A second may even spoil it if Netflix seizes control and demands a second be made in a matter of months.
