Head injury recently? Or maybe not enough activity so lack of blood flow to extremities causes numbness.

no head injuries here and i walk/play with my kids at work every day so i’m really confused but it could possibly be nerve damage?? i know earlier i had a dull ache happening behind my knee

I don't know what MCD means but my favorite au deancas fics are Living in Agony by ChasingRabits and Bring it on Home by thecouchcarrot, both on ao3.

MCD = Major Character Death. I didn’t know either until I read a fic that had it in there and by then it was too late. A little part of me is still ruined because of that fic. *stares off into the distance*

ANYWAY. I have read Bring It On Home, it was great (love me some endverse!Cas)! I’m going to add the other to my to-read list! It’s rather long, but I do have a vacay coming up that might allow me more time for longer fics. Thanks for the recs!

Living in Agony

Dean Winchester's life is... well, it's not great. He's a gym teacher, he's in his thirties, and he can't seem to keep any part of his life straight. When the aftermath of a one-night stand goes awry, Dean is dragged kicking and screaming out of his cozy little closet and into the harsh light of reality.

Enter: Castiel Novak, the new history teacher, who knows full well that life gets crappy when you don't allow yourself to live it in the way it needs to be lived.

Bring It On Home

Multi-chapter Dean/Cas AU. Dean the Sales Rep just moved into the neighborhood, and his neighbor is a definitely crazy shut-in. Now complete!Ch. 30: Dean narrowed his eyes. "I'm not lovely. Knitted tea cozies are lovely."

1. Hi!! Many of the chubby!dean fics/art show dean as having a (often perfectly) round tummy--this is more likely to be visceral chub, which is firmer (sometimes hard) & holds its shape because of its distribution relative to the abd muscles.

2. But when I look at Jensen he looks SOFT, like he’s more inclined to gain subcutaneous chub, which lies on top of the abd muscles and is thus softer and takes its own shape.

3. Based on your extensive analysis of Jensen’s body, do you think additional chub would be distributed subcutaneously or viscerally? Otherwised phrased as, would he be more likely to get a round, hard tum or a rolly,  soft tum? Thanks bye.

wow you just taught me something i definitely did not know before. if i’m just answering this question with how jensen’s physical appearance is, i would definitely say he’s carrying more subcutaneous fat than visceral fat. it’s strange, though, because subcutaneous fat is more likely to appear in the thighs and ass than in the abdomen, but jensen has almost no fat at all in his ass and not much in his thighs:

but if u look at his stomach it definitely looks more squishy than it does firm, which means that he has a layer of fat covering his stomach muscles (subcutaneous) instead of in his stomach muscles (visceral).

this is likely why people always comment on how “solid” jensen feels—underneath a soft layer of fatty skin he’s got a frightening amount of muscle:

if he had MORE subcutaneous fat, he would definitely feel a lot squishier than solid, but alas, he has a minimal amount of it. that being said, however, i don’t think the fat in jensen’s stomach is visceral for several reasons.

one, i agree with you that he would not gain weight like a beer gut where it’s just really firm, round fat. the fact that he can FAKE it demonstrates that this isn’t how he would actually look if he gained a lot of weight:

more likely, if jensen gained a bunch of weight, it would all be soft and flabby. his stomach would probably hang low instead of stick out.

two, subcutaneous fat is actually a much healthier type of fat than visceral is. while everyone has at least a little visceral fat, it tends to be gained when you live a sedentary lifestyle. i would say with jensen’s job and as much as he talks about exercise, he definitely doesn’t have a whole lot of visceral fat. tbh i don’t think he could do this if that tum of his was visceral:

subcutaneous fat, though, is used to store energy during periods of high activity. when there’s only a small amount of it (which, as i mentioned earlier, jensen only has a small amount of it), it tends to sit loosely under the skin and is not always visible:

like, u can tell the tum is simultaneously soft and strong, and that the little bit of pudge around his belly button could most likely be pulled out and away from his stomach as if it’s just loose skin.

three, it’s jiggly and moves independent of his muscles:

and four, it sits away from his body when he sits down instead of just remaining in place:

so, in conclusion, if u want to write/draw dean/jensen with extra weight on his frame, making that weight soft and flabby would be more accurate than giving him a beer gut. unless, of course, in your fic dean gains weight by drinking beer and being sedentary. this has been a psa.

I think I get it--you like to see him EAT? and numbers/body changes are secondary effects almost? Something like that? My thing is SOFT (squishiness/heaviness) and food and numbers are just fun little extras that help get one there.

yeah it's like, i enjoy the eating and distention part of it the most so stuffing sessions are the focus of my interest in feederism and yeah chub and numbers are just icing on a cake but it adds to it

normalbeforespn replied to your post “man i got a request for a chubby!dean ficlet but i have no idea how to...”

I've asked you this before I'm sure, but how chubby are your chubby deans ideally? I'm writing a chubby dean that is really more of a fat!dean and I wonder if they's anyone else that high up on the scale?

see it's hard to tell because i don't know jensen's exact weight right now nor do i know what he'd look like at certain weights so it's hard for me to gauge it and then imagine it in my head because i could be way off and i don't think too much about the numbers as i do the eating part of it since that's more what i'm into but it's usually between 215 up to 235 depending on if he's completely soft or if he's still got muscle on him (which he'll always probably have b u t you never know when you're writing)

There are so many dean/cas secretary sub/dom fics! They're usually dean smith. Any more details to offer? My favorite is Pretty Messed Up Situation by SurlyCat (spelling?) It's on Ao3. Ugh, I love it so much.

Passing it on to the anon. :)
