Doing another one of these easily forgotten or missed SPN lore posts since people seemed to enjoy the last one (my fellow lore junkies showed up)

Anyways, without further ado:

- A garrison of angels is also called a ‘flight’.

- Castiel was present for the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah, the Tower of Babel, Cain & Abel, David & Goliath, and the first terrestrial evolution (that would go on to be humanity) as a fish pulled itself onto shore.

- Sam had prophetic dreams depicting Jessica’s fiery death days before the event took place. He blames himself for her death due to his efforts to ignore these warnings and hold onto his newfound normalcy.

- In Season 5, Dean convinces past Mary of his identity by recalling that John initially won Mary over because he knew the lyrics to every Led Zeppelin song. Dean later, in Season 12, gifts a mixtape full of Led Zeppelin songs to Castiel.

- Dean and Sam are named after their grandparents, Deanna and Samuel Campbell.

- Jimmy Novak and his bloodline are listed on an angelic artifact in the tie-in novel War of the Sons as a ‘perfect vessel’, explaining why his body can withstand holding Castiel (and Lucifer) without any internal destruction.

- Castiel’s name was first spoken in 3x06, “Red Sky at Morning”, as Sam reads aloud a binding invocation that calls upon numerous supernatural entities: “Aziel, Castiel, Lamisniel, Rabam, Erlain, et Belam!”

- Jo Harvelle grew up in the roadhouse around familiar hunters like Bobby Singer and John Winchester, who often hunted with her father Bill Harvelle. On her blog, she called them “Uncle Bobby” and “Uncle John”.

- Jo and Dean end up repeating history; Jo’s father, Bill Harvelle, died while on a hunt with John Winchester, in which Meg describes the man as having ‘held in his guts with his hands’. Jo ends up dying while on a hunt to kill Lucifer with Dean, and makes a comment about how her ‘guts are being held in with an ace bandage’.

- Dean is allergic to cats.

- Dean received the ‘samulet’ prop from the Fan Fiction episode to make up for having trashed the real one; he hangs this up in Baby’s front windshield.

- According to psychic Oliver Pryce in Season 10, angels minds can only be interpreted as ‘colors’, beyond human perception and understanding.

- The same exact clock, a slim, wall hung face with silver ‘sun beams’ extending outwards, can be seen in nearly every episode.

- Dean’s favorite song is, according to him, either “Ramble On” or “Travelling Riverside Blues” by Led Zeppelin.

- Cas tried to warn Pamela Barnes, the psychic who first identifies him after saving Dean from Hell, not to look upon his true form. She ignores his warning and continues the conjuring anyways, which leaves her eyes burned from their sockets.

Your Error strikes me as the type that can dish, but can't take when it comes to flirting. Like, he's so lucky that it'll take quite a while before Ink is comfortable and confident enough to flirt, because he can barely handle it when Ink is just nice to him in a platonic way. Ink doesn't realize he wields a weapon of mass destruction. Error will be wrapped around his little finger and be putty in his hands >:)

Hehehe, you. You get it. You see my vision. I am snickering like an evil mastermind right now. Great minds think alike, we can see the shenanigans that loom over the horizon

Y e s. Error is absolutely the type of person who can dish it out, but can't take the heat himself. But. I also imagine he's got the best game when he's not trying. If he doesn't realize that he's flirting, or deludes himself that he's only platonically teasing more likely, he can be super smooth. If he frames it as flirting though and he actually likes the person?? Oh g o d, is it painful. He can't string a sentence together and wants to die. He only gets good at flirting again when it's like with a long-term partner or something, then he's dropping the smoothest one-liners you've ever heard in your life, but it functionally doesn't matter anymore because it's like "Error, we've been together for 15 years-"

The only reason Error is safe right now is because he lucked out by getting the most oblivious demisexual idiot who has no idea what flirting is. But in a way, that can be Error's greatest downfall. That gives the potential for Ink to drop the smoothest pick-up line ever, but he has no idea what he did and now Error's acting like he's having a heart attack

So. Case in point. Error only has game when he's not trying or is in a long-term committed relationship so the entire point of rizzing someone up is years too late. He can and will flirt with someone he's committed/attracted to, but as soon as they turn the tides back on him, he's like "wait, you can't do that-"

Hermína: With all the stories recorded about them, It's odd to just see the heroes summoned from the grimoire as just regular people.

Lucy: Or even Mr. Arikado. I have hard time imagine what his life was before fighting Dracula.

Hermína: Agree. Seward, what do you think Arikado was like as a child.

Seward: A spoiled brat.

Lucy: D-Director, that's harsh! Why do you think that?!

Seward: Although Alucard has spent his life opposing Dracula, he still is his only son. Perhaps as a child he was pampered and had his every whim satisfied. Mayhap he often torment the servants with only the mildest scolding from his parents.

Lucy: I can't imagine him like that. I'm sure he was the sweetest kid possible.

Hermína: Ha ha. Or rather he strikes me as too standoffish to be intentionally mean to anyone.

Seward: ...If you say so...

How to argue when the other side isn’t willing to listen, when there is no discussion, or when the stakes aren’t optional: Don’t. Decide on a one sentence summary of your side and repeat it word for word. This works even better if you have an audience. Saying the same thing over and over word for word gives them nothing to argue against and makes it clear that you aren’t changing your decision and pretty quickly makes them look like an idiot if they keep pushing you.

Example #1

“I can’t work on Sunday.”

“What are you doing on Sunday that’s so important? We are short two people.”

“I can’t work on Sunday.”

“I can give you Tuesday off if its a big deal.”

“I can’t work Sunday.”

*manager walks away*

Example #2

“Please don’t pet my dog, he’s working”

“But he’s so cute”

“Don’t touch my dog”

“But he likes me”

“DON’T touch my dog”

“…” *reaching*

“STOP! Don’t touch my dog.”

*usually startled because most people give up by this point and a little embarrassed because people are starting to stare* “oh”

*me allowing them a graceful exit*

I am 100% in favor of educating the public and having discussions when possible but when someone has made it clear that they have no intention of listening or respecting my boundaries and I don’t have the option to leave, I will very quickly resort to this. I have almost never had to go past the third repeat in a calm but strongly worded and slightly louder tone to get my point across, especially if anyone else is near because this attracts attention like nobody’s business and social pressure corrects bad behavior really well. I cannot emphasize enough how much the word-for-word repetition is crucial. This is not a person who can’t hear you or doesn’t understand, this is a person who doesn’t respect your boundaries and won’t listen to your words. Give them the same exact words until they have no choice but to listen.
