With the 250th anniversary it's likely to be especially bad this year!

[northern-sparrow]

All right, I was forced to start up a tumblr just to post this thing. So, I watched the first five seasons of Supernatural while doing field research on the birds of northern Alaska, and when Castiel spread his wings for the first time my first thought was “Oh look, that angel’s in molt”.

For the whole rest of season 4 I kept thinking of him as “the molting angel.” I kept wondering what on earth had happened to him in Hell that left his wings so messed up, such that he had to do an out-of-season molt with both alulas broken. And I kept wondering whether his new feathers had come in all right! 

But mostly I became convinced that Castiel must have suffered some real injuries while rescuing Dean from Hell. Castiel never mentioned anything about this… but I like to think that there’s a pretty dramatic story there that he has never told.

(edit: anyone who likes science-y headcanon about Castiel’s wings, also feel free to check out my Supernatural fics Flight, sequel to Forgotten; or the wing chapter in A Room Of One’s Own. I think I went way overboard figuring out how angel flight could really work…)

[junesirius]

I just had a new thought –

What if, when we first saw Cas’s wings burned and wounded, what if that’s not burned by Hell fire or wounded by demons, but burned by how scalding hot Dean’s soul is. It physically would hurt Cas to touch Dean when he was in such pure soul form, let alone grabbing him and flying him out of Hell, he could get completely burned or even vaporized; all the other angels know that, so they stalled looking for him, didn’t try hard enough to reach Dean, but Cas didn’t mind. He saw how bright Dean’s soul is – bright and beautiful like the sun, hot like the sun, dangerous to him like the sun to Icarus – and how much he deserved to be saved, so Cas grabbed him without hesitation, ignoring the pain and wound his soul brought him, ignoring his wings burning and tearing from Dean’s soul’s heat – even then he was still fascinated by this human, by the Righteous man – until he finally got Dean out of Hell.

All this time, we assumed Cas’s handprint on Dean’s shoulder was because Cas had the higher body temperature and that it was Cas who burned Dean, but “burn” really could also happen the other way around, as long as the temperature difference is high enough. You can get severely burned by liquid nitrogen, because the human body is about 200 degrees Celsius higher. So it is equally likely that Dean’s soul was the higher temperature one among the two, and Cas was like the liquid nitrogen. And so Cas is the one getting severely burned by Dean (with the disarranged wings and feathers being the proof), and Dean got the frostbite burn of a handprint.

(That also just gave me a domestiel idea about human Cas having freezing cold hands that Dean just couldn’t resist warming them for him.)

happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

"erm! actually! I'm not comfortable calling people it/its! it just makes me uncomfortable I feel dirty and icky and mean! why not just use they/them? sending love!" doesn't feel good reading once. reading it 12000 times on 4 different posts? fucking explode. leave it/it's users alone. you really don't have to share that someones chosen pronouns makes you uncomfortable. you sound like a transphobe.

Art grad student answer: it's the contrapposto.

This is a counterbalanced pose where the weight is rested on one leg and the hips and shoulders are tilted in opposite directions. It emphasizes the curves of the body.

I know exactly how you feel.

Every time I talk about how much I enjoy kicking puppies, everyone thinks I'm a monster. I have to hide my desire to kick puppies in order to not be hated everywhere I go. Meanwhile, puppies don't have to hide at all. I see puppies all over the place and people are nice to them. Why should I as a puppy kicker have to hide my existence while puppies get to happily enjoy theirs?

[brick-match]

Major pet peeve in my own life is that the brick and mortar on the porch columns of my apartment don't match the rest of the building. It's not something most people would notice at first or maybe at all, but it drives me crazy.

The brick on the building is an old sandmold standard-size flashed burgundy brick and a plain buff mortar in a flush joint. If I were to match these, I would use Belden Brick's Belcrest 740 bricks. Those aren't available in standard size, but the modular size they're made in will work because it's the same height. (Matching size exactly doesn't really matter for columns or other projects where the brick isn't going to be laid directly into the existing brick wythes (in fact, the bricks on the columns are a bit longer and a bit less tall than the bricks on the house)). I'd match the mortar with Heidelberg's Old Colonial, the go-to for matching older structures, from their Flamingo colored mortar series. Heidelberg's premixed Old Colonial could also work.

The brick on the columns is just over 8 inches long and just under 2 1/4 inches tall, so it's a weird size. They may have been "seconds", meaning the factory screwed up and had to sell them at a discount. That would explain the mismatch -- mighta been a 1970s Landlord Special. Nonetheless, they're beautiful bricks. A rusty brown color with ironspot texture ("ironspot" is somewhat literal: the clay and/or shale is mixed with actual flecks of metal, usually manganese these days I think, that melts in the kiln and makes a sort of glaze of freckles on the surface of the brick!), laid with an almost-matching red mortar.

These bricks have to have been discounted, because it shouldn't have been at all difficult to match the brick on the existing building. The reason for the red mortar evades me; colored mortars are usually more expensive than plain mortar. More traditional colors like Old Colonial are popular enough to be not much pricier than the plain grey. Idk why tf they woulda done red, except maybe to hurt me personally.
