A lot of asks under the cut:
I think we figured out that this fandom can’t take criticism of anything, they had a meltdown when people called out a fictional character for being an ass, so I can imagine with them being unable to comprehend that some people do not like their queen.
I don’t understand why the concept of some people not liking other people is so horrifying and impossible to understand.
They’re all public figures, people base their opinions on what they see, some people will be indifferent, some won’t like them, some will like them, some will love them, some will hate them.
Looking for all the excuses right out of the ass why someone would hate them and it’s definitely not the idol’s fault… it is just… it ain’t that deep.
It’s fucking embarrassing honestly.
You will need to be a bit more specific regarding which issues 😅
I don’t know what she was thinking or what MS was thinking and I’m pretty happy that their situation isn’t my problem and I don’t need to go too much into it 😂 What they’re showing the public is painful to watch. We will never know what exactly was going on there but what we see/know isn’t pretty.
She shouldn’t be in the limelight because she hasn’t accomplished anything to deserve it. She isn’t in one anyway, the only people who know about her are people interested in Michael enough to care who he has kids with and find out her name AND then actually care to follow her.
I love that you said “wives” because their fans keep on making AL a wife but MS had her pop two kids out but didn’t pop the question himself.
Throw in a few “ewww” “disgusting” “depraved” “sickos” “sexist” and you’re nearly there 😂
Oh yeah - if this was about a man and a woman and they’d do 5% of what MS/DT do then you’d have articles written about it and everyone talking about it. It’s only automatically a joke because they’re two dudes.
Imagine if a man said “she’s easy to fall in love with” “I love her” “she’s my lover” stared at her lovingly constantly, called her “his partner”, and his other partner would call them “boyfriend/girlfriend”, media would be all over it and nobody would be screaming “disgusting” or a joke.
The biggest irony is that this fandom is supposed to be open minded 😂
She got pregnant at a young age by a stranger and ever since has been living in a bubble where she’s worshipped for existing by her man’s fandom who’s ensuring her she doesn’t need to do anything to be called a queen. The only jobs she scored were sorted out by him. I’m not surprised she’s still a muppet who’s learned nothing and doesn’t want to leave the fantasy bubble tbf.
She’s been obsessively copying GT to the point where I think GT has been smoothly taking the piss out of her partly for it. From “soooo linked” to “throw her a hashtag and see if it sticks” to “oh you have Getty image, here’s a cute selfie my hubby took with your man when he was happy”. Song choices have been funny too.
This fandom went downhill really quick. I scroll my dash maybe once a day and hope to see a few nice arts, scrolling through words. Art gives me the ick sometimes too unfortunately. Every time I read something I don’t even know wtf people are talking about anymore. It has nothing to do with the show.
When S3 comes out I will watch it and never check what anybody else thought about it. People ruined S2 for me and I’m not letting them do the same with S3.
Thank you for still reading this blog :)
Bruh I wish. I fucking wish. But suddenly it won’t apply when he goes all nepo on this show anyway. It’s gonna be spot the relative season.
You’d probably need to ask him this question 😅
They had one night stand, she got knocked up, he sold a lot of what he had and moved to Wales, she wanted to be big shit but the only jobs she scored were sorted out by him, she got pregnant again, she likes to take digs about him and his looks, he started looking miserable as hell with her, he paid her for a photoshoot and had GT do her promo, yet again it flopped, so now she’s suddenly feeding everyone how she totally luvs him (still slips a dig in because she can’t help herself) because heart grows fonder when shit doesn’t work out.
I don’t know why he’s with her. Maybe he’s actually deeply in love with her but decided to show the whole world that he is miserable with her for shits and giggles. Maybe they play up zero chemistry for cameras for some reason. Maybe he loves her so much he never speaks about her but perks up the second “DT” is mentioned and goes off about how much he loves him, how easy he’s to fall in love with, how good he looked in a kilt… Yeah that makes zero fucking sense, doesn’t it 😂
Responsibility I guess.

*note: yeah I kinda went off a little in this post. sorry I got worked up!
Works for me! in Steps:
Step 1: Go to Thrift Store find a twin fitted sheet preferably Black. If not get some black clothes die, or paint something abstract on it.
Step 2: Bring to art show or Event
Step 3: Set up the Merch table.
I like ANY Sales. I am just as happy with a $20 T Shirt Sale or a $15 Poster sale as I am an actual painting sale. It all adds up in the end!
I STOLE the idea of having a merch table from my Band friends. I saw very quickly that T-shirts were walking billboards. I Like Walking Billboards. I like the conversations that start and people ask who painted that. I've gotten a ton of clients that way.
Of course, if you're messing around with Galleries they aren't fans of merch tables. Why? You may ask... Well, I will tell you, it's because they never want the artist to make a direct connection with the buyer. Because chances are that buyer will want other stuff painted and just go directly to the painter. And the Gallery loses out on their cut of the pie of that sale.
But you know what else, I have NEVER seen a gallery have a Gallery merch store, with their branded merch on it. No they all just sit in their shops and WAIT for the off chance that a walk-in will happen, like they are some sort of car sales lot.
Yeah, they throw the occasional party and invite a bunch of other painters to them but that never leads to many sales. Truth is none of these galleries want to do the work. They don't want to effectively create a buzz around their gallery. You'll never see them out promoting it. They'll certainly never pay people to go out and get people into the place.
You'll never see any merch with the name of the gallery on it.
I know it sounds harsh, but this is an 'Ick' I have with about 90% of the Galleries out there. No one wants to put in the work. No one wants to beat the street and make anything happen.
Where I am in South FL, there is a Huge elder population. And that means that there are a ton of Doctors' offices. They all have walls and would love to have some cool art displayed in there. Class the joint up a bit. I mean on that level you are competing with 3-year-old Golf Digest magazines. They would LOVE to have something cool on their walls. And boom! even possibly have the option of it being changed out on a monthly basis or something. They wouldn't even want a cut of any sales. These doctors are busy fixing sick people they don't have any time to go out and look for decore for their waiting rooms... So wow! what an idea, have someone bring it to them and they don't have spend any of their valuable time messing with it and suddenly the waiting room looks amazing oh and it costs them nothing? Oh yeah, no one would ever go for that. *eyeroll* Give me a break!
You know that would be a great side hustle biz for someone to start. Go out and make that happen for some Painters.
And Painters remember when ANYONE makes me money, They Make Money too.
I would much rather give a cut of the pie to someone who has actually done something than someone who hasn't done anything.
No one does anything like that. That would require some hustle.
The Promo game is ALWAYS, 'Hey let's have a party with free wine and cheese, and also let's do it on the same night that 15 other galleries that are just like us are doing it. And hey while we're batting 1000, let's not get any actual end-user clients in here, but instead, it'll be fun to fill this place up with a bunch of painters!'
Wow! What a Plan!
I mean why make an Event oh I don't know? AN EVENT! You know a plan to get people in the door to spend some money!
Not all the galleries I know here are that vapid. Some do other things, have Painter round tables and Q & A's and such. Performers and the like and hey that's something. But honestly the other 90% of them don't do Shit!
I have never even seen a gallery here offer any sort of payment option. Yeah, Lay-away! Of course, you maintain pinky-out status and not call it that. Call it the Picasso-Ace package or some sort of deal. Where people can come in every paycheck and make their payment on it.
Do you know why no one does any of that? Because that would be work.
The reality is 90% of galleries are owned by artists who really are just looking for somewhere to display their work because it's piled up because they are no good at sales. So what do they (did they) do? They opened up a gallery whose whole purpose is supposed to be SALES! It's crazy.
Anyhow, sorry I got out into the weeds a little there. I just get so worked up on wasted potential due to something as lame as basic laziness.
Anyhow here's a great idea for a cool merch table. Yes they sell those covers, but why spend $100 when you can spend $5 and have something cool and unique?
And remember folks, this should be covered with Merch that you are selling anyhow so you don't need anything super crazy cool on it.
Just find a pretty young gal or guy (hey whatever your target audience is) that you can pay to run the thing. Here's a tip, when you start paying someone, just make sure that they are bringing more money to you, than you are paying out to them.
But you know what I had a merch table gal one time that I gave her a $100 Bonus every time she sold $700 of merch. And she sold the shit out of merch! And that wasn't a bad thing!

14x01 watching notes
RIP Kip, we hardly knew ye.
Well hey, returning friends and people who unwittingly clicked on this not knowing exactly what they're in for. Blowing off the dust and starting a new season of Dabb fuckery, which I spent way too long trying to think of a portmanteau for when I already have the episode downloaded
It's 5am, let's DO THIS.
-
So they start with Dean's Hi I Am A Cop On The Day Before I Retire speech re: hula girls and hawaiian t-shirts which is remarkably prescient of me to have been irrationally upset about that one detail after I binged most of season 13 last night to get me back in the mood. So now I have to elaborate on my one line textpost >.>
Because yes, that is the perfect note to start the season on: Dean thought the good times had rolled, allowed himself to hope, assembled himself a family with mom and step-pop (Bobby counts as a full father but AU Bobby is step-pop), brother, husband, kid... Said kid was promising A World Without Monsters aka Dabb's showrunning tagline for an endgame he teases them. And Lucifer was tucked safely away in an AU with the murderous Michael... And then in a series of events it all came crumbling down and with this amount of goodness in his grasp, he gave up what even when the real Michael was hounding him for it, he couldn't before.
Because in season 13 it is beyond obvious that Dean is tired, an Old Hunter, the best of his game but ready to bow out on that note, and yet for him it's not a matter of stepping back and letting someone else handle it because when Michael and Lucifer were involved, it was beyond personal. He and Sam only EXIST because Lucifer and realMichael wanted them to. And so there was no way this trouble would come to someone else's door, when it was the nasty angel on his shoulder and the devil on Sam's and we have Nougat as their collective responsibility who's the nexus of it all anyway.
-
Eeee the Road So Far text is glowy grace colour on a dark blue background. I'm JIZED for the title card.
-
Goodness, the Road So Far is a weird journey because we see Jack being all useful and magic and then callbacks to 13x01 and 2 where he was a messed up 2 day old and Dean just wanted to murder him.
I haven't outlined any expectations for this episode or even this recap but I suddenly realise that I should probably be wondering how much DeanCas we're gonna get in it, and this rage against Jack is subtextually motivated, for sure, but for me the first 6 episodes of Dean's grief arc were wonderful character stuff but removed from the main plot and therefore in my head I keep boxing them off like a bubble season, like 10x01-3 are, and I legit wasn't even expecting to SEE content from them in the recap, because brilliant as they are I sort of just forgot they were a part of this season despite watching them yesterday. The season for me became so much the Jack And Mary Search that this hiccup at the start didn't meet the requirements to be in season 13 :P
They're just That Time Dean Was Really Sad About Cas Then He Came Back And They Were Cowboys
-
Oh good there was "everybody we've lost" and then a recap of Cas dying and then - oh, we're recapping plot again? Er... everybody? Dean? Who else? DEAN?
this was the thinly veiled subtext of that line anyway since Dean waved off Mary and made it all about Cas anyways but. Yikes, editing team.
-
Jesus I watched season 13 yesterday and I forgot about Asmodeus. You know what, this is pre-coffee AND the 2 types of anti-brain fog medication I gobble in the morning.
But he's that much of a useless lump
Also too much Lucifer nipple on screen pre-coffee. Ick.
-
Nice recapping of Not The Levitating Fight.
-
NOW
Stock photo Nyoom of the season!! Hi Baby! You aren't in this episode because Eugenie said the car wasn't being used this season
-
Sam's got his Vengeance Eyes on but he's all scruffy and grown up so I trust him 10000% to get the job done.
-
OW. FUCK. OW. OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. GOOD USE OF INTERSTITIAL MUSIC
Why were you even listening to Dean's tapes if they fuck you up that badly? IS THIS YOUR VENGEANCE PLAYLIST? I'VE BEEN WAITING 10 YEARS
Actually, I haven't, I binged 4-5-6 as one unit after thinking the show was cancelled during the writers' strike but the point is that Sam and his ipod in 4x01 is immediately in my head because he was listening to his own music and being a hipster douche, but now he is not on demon blood he has not installed an ipod dock because he's GETTING DEAN BACK, DAMMIT but at the same time he's also realising that this means a heavy toll that the only driving music in the car is Dean's stuff...
-
Oh no, this must be the guy from the SDCC clip we hadn't seen because Osric Chau is banned forever for illegally uploading them all for us in the past, and all I know is that Deanchael is going to Fuck Him Up and I feel very bad for him
*raises my mug to Osric* I'm sure you tried, dude. And thanks for the previous years.
-
Hi Deanchael. I noticed in a promo pic that his tie has that sacred geometry type pattern on it which is a detail I made a mental note to type out literally anywhere in the like month between there and here and did not so here it is at a hopefully appropriate place.
Based on every other scene setting detail I suspect that this faithful man is actually still within the USA because this is literally the cabin set they re-use for everything. The spoilers made it sound like Deanchael was globe trotting to raise his army but now I see what's around us... Yeah no he's as focused on the US as every other big bad before.
-
Anyway they really specifically chose this prayer to Allah because of how pointed it was about being only for Allah and how he was the best, so I'm assuming Deanchael is here to be like yo God's gone and I'm your last chance of faith
-
Like just ruin his day and he got up at like 4am or whatever the first prayer is to do it and all
-
I hope, like, no offence to any Muslim viewers or anything >.> They sure play fast and loose with a lot of this stuff because Christian cultures are full of bitter non-believers raised in the culture and looking to kick up at the big guy in the sky, which is not an impression I get that Islam is as used to cultural flippancy, regardless of personal beliefs of residents of predominately Muslim countries and cultures. I'm not 100% sure though, because the closest link I've got is my raised-Christian Iranian friend who applies Christian eye-rolling to the issues with being in Iran and heathen so I still get that perspective of middle fingers up at Organised Religion from our discussions about it all... anyway big diversion, still waiting for coffee to kick in :P I just swallowed the last of it so I can only get more jittery from here on out!
-
It's so fuckin weird to see Dean's face confidently reciting verse in Arabic
I mean you don't need the hat, sir. I get it. It's not you in there.
-
Well so far anyway he's playing on the fact that the guy does pray to god and his angels.
-
Lol @ this man guessing his way through God AND Gabe to Deanchael's annoyance that he's the 3rd guess and he has to clarify that he's the better one.
Man, Gabriel worked on his reputation. I wouldn't have been able to tell you who Michael was because there wasn't even a kid in my class with that name when I was age 4 busy portraying Gabriel in a nativity play with full impish glee that the real deal would have been proud of.
-
Uhoh things aren't looking good for Jamil D: Asking for peace and love is good, you funky little hippy.
Is Deanchael implying that the Syria insurgency is the route to peace? I honestly don't know enough about the American foreign policy politics to know what sort of stance this is though from a liberal leaning show (I mean come on Bobo is a card-carrying socialist, I've seen it on Twitter :P), though to an outside viewer well aware of how fucked up it all is should this have been said on a British program, this is a vast over-simplification.
But we know Michael's main traits are Likes War and then also Warmonger and of course, spoilin' for a fight. So this may be a personal judgement and as much as they're bringing politics into their show I'm just backing right on out and going with this :P That he thinks it is more honourable to stay and fight and that Jamil is a hypocrite for not sticking around to work for peace actively.
-
Oh Jamil hooked up with a woman called Darleen. He is FOR SURE in America.
-
It's so funny to me that Deanchael can fly anywhere and they could have set this anywhere but it still ends up being a wooden cabin in the US. This has to turn out to be a lead to follow with a news report about the poor guy or else this is just hysterical that they couldn't be arsed to mock up even a hint of another country :P
-
He knew all this about Jamil beforehand so I have to assume he's really just here to drag him.
-
Man, that throw was GOOD. I'm assuming they either spent all summer playing with wires and stunts or else they've gone back to the drawing board on all this flinging people around business.
-
"A better world" oh we are so on for this World Without Monsters malarky still. This lines up with the clip from Dean they opened on so well - the dark irony of he and Michael working on the same project but from different angles. Dean wants to sort out monsters and bad things so he can go on a beach, aka his version of paradise, and Mikey wants to smush all the sinners, and clean up the planet, which is HIS version of paradise.
-
HECKIN GOOD TITLE CARD
now photoshop those wings on everyone
-
I LIKE SCRUFFY BULLET MAKER FROM THE AU.
He's like so happy to be in a world where you just casually have resources.
Meanwhile poor Maggie has become the de facto nurse and hates it.
Ugh the Bunker is a place where people just show up who yell "Soup's on!"
In my redshirt betting pool, Soups On is the first guy who dies.
-
Promo sceeeeene
I'm so happy Sam and Mary are doing this together. Last season Sam was so upset that Dean got to have a relationship with her, and he had missed out, but without Dean around - no offence to him - Sam and Mary may be focused on FINDING him but this is the work they also need to do for their relationship to start to ground it in something real. It's taken this long with all the separations, but remember that Mary also worked through some of her issues about Sam only last season in the AU with 6 month old Jack. And if she needed that sort of reminder and relationship to warm her up for Sam, her suddenly-grown 6 month old, then there were still a LOT of underlying issues that dated back to the start for her to overcome. Hopefully this puts them on a level playing field, though there's a new conflict brewing for them, with Mary's determined optimism vs Sam's pessimism, born of that depression from last season that never really got treated or resolved, they just managed to power past its current main triggers. Of course now it all just shifts in a Deanward direction.
-
I love how Ketch has been punted to London, at Buckleming discretion to drag him back. This wasn't even Bobo punting him out the door, and he and Buckleming have a violent back and forth over favourite characters, started in 9x06 with Bobo's very first episode when he banished Professor Morrison forever.
-
MARY TRIES MOMMING SAM TO GO TO BED
THEN SCRUFFY GUN GUY IS LIKE "CHIEF"
Chieeeeeeef.
Sam runs the shooow here and I love it. He's their badass MoL hunter leader, a scruffy saviour from another world.
Given Sam is wearing the same shirt and jacket in the promo pics I'm guessing he does not sleep, though I hope he gets to eat the soup.
-
"Maggie can you hack the traffic cams?"
"um. no."
I love and support Maggie. She is a normal person who happened to live in apocalypse world and she just wants to flirt with the guy from the Gas n Go who probably hasn't talked to her since that got blown up and Jack attacked him over her... I mean, this is better than the AU world but maybe she just wants to be normal? Did anyone ask Maggie what she wanted??
-
SAM. You can eat your soup and run things at the same time! Get back here and eat that soup!
-
"yes sir"
Goodness, this is wonderful. Sam's doing what he was born to do, and then not because that was leading a friggin demon army, but then yes because he's got inherent leadership traits that he defers to Dean all the time because, well, he's there, and he's big bro.
Look, sometimes you need big bro to murder Satan's ass for you forever, but you also should be calling the shots. There's a balance here, where Dean can be the older brother, but Sam can be the boss. Work/life balance. Dean's got your back but you command an army of hunters, like we've all been salivating over since like season 8 when they first said the MoL ran the Bunker as the hub of operations dictating stuff to trusted hunters and the like.
Of course, if Sam is the Bobby here, then who is the AUBobby? I hope we see what's up with that soon, I've been wanting them to bristle those beards in an alpha way at each other for months, because AUBobby was their leader before Sam because Sir Chief.
-
"Sam."
"i'm good"
*mothering intensifies*
"i'm GOOD"
*mothering intensifies*
"How's Jack"
You aren't used to being mothered and it's murdering me completely to my soul. Dean's got SO MUCH MOTHERING all through the show compared to you. He even sees Jody as a mom friend while you crush on her like crazy so you haven't even got that!!!!
Because Chief Sam is the boss of this lot but at the SAME TIME he's getting all these soft tender mom moments he's never got to have before. It's a wonderful balance of nuances to his current life. He's overworked but surrounded by a supportive care team that respects him, gives him soup, and holds his hand, literally in Mary's case. And yet he's the scruffy macho competent boss who knows how to call all these shots, deputise, set up missions, but still knows more than them, how to do traffic cams, I'm sure years of lore over most of these hunters who only learned to deal with what got thrown at them in the apocalypse by trial and error because when do they get lore books? Mary and Bobby and other pre-apocalypse hunters would be few and far between to offer competent training to a populace suddenly all turned hunter.
-
Oh, AUBobby is beating up Jack. Perfect.
-
AAAH DIRECTED BY TJW
WAS NOT ADEQUATELY HOLDING ONTO SEAT
WARN A GIRL
-
I love finally seeing the training room but I'm deeply conscious that this is where Put Up Your Dukes starts and I can't get that fan fic out my mind so I'm just like, Jack, don't lie on the floor, your dads have banged there.
-
I'm so happy that AUBobby is nurturing a grandson, because this is the difference between him and Bobby - that our Bobby had that with Sam n Dean, but AUBobby never did. Though he DID have Mary Campbell to crush on, I doubt it would have softened him and rounded out the harsh places in his soul the same way raising Sam and Dean did, because he had an unrequited love and she hadn't gotten over John, while this recently widowed Mary Winchester actually has made better progress just because of the circumstances of the loss. Anyways Jack has no preexisting history with Bobby so there's nothing weird about him and AUBobby stepping into a nurturing relationship, that Sam n Dean would find uncomfortable in a way, given their relationship with Bobby. And Jack gets yet another strong figure to teach and guide him.
AUBobby looks slim and stands tall compared to Bobby, which I'm largely putting down to posture, and not being drowned in layers. I like this difference - Bobby almost never voluntarily dressed in 1 layer, but AUBobby has a more military slant, and this training sergeant routine with Jack is a good fit to show a difference in his character, that isn't surly old Bobby behind his desk, that he's involved in teaching Jack to fight, rather than helping hunters with lore and swigging whiskey.
I'd assume given the lack of availability in his AU, he's considerably less alcohol dependant, so this is a very different character thing. If Bobby were doing this training, and nothing else was different, he'd be taking a breather to pour them both a whiskey as he imparts wisdom.
-
Demon in nice shoes and dark sunglasses at night to indicate that yes I am a demon I have black eyes :P I assume this is a demon anyway not just because of this detail but pre-season spoilers
-
Ah hearing Cas's name is enough to make my heart pick up. MY GUY!
But then, "Castiel, darling"
Stop trying to make Good Omens happen, it's not going to happen. You can't just "darling" up to an angel and expect that good good romance. Crowley took years to wear Cas down and Cas never actually LIKED him, down to their last real interaction where Cas was just "WTF???? LEAVE ME TO ROT AND DIE" when Crowley saved him in 12x12
-
God I miss that
-
"Oh god."
Same, buddy.
You do, however, realise this is your first words of the season gifset line, though?
Someone ought to write to Dabb and inform him that people make first and last word gifsets and to be more careful.
Especially if in the last episode at the end of the season, Cas's last word is "Dean"
-
Anyway Cas has said 1 line and I can tell he's on top form. Unlike 10x01 he's in a hipster hogroast joint.
-
This demon, with dark black sunglasses inside at night (douchebag) just ordered a coffee, black. WE GET IT, ENOBY DEMENTIA DARKNESS RAVEN WAY, YOU ARE GOFFIC AND IT'S AS BLACK AS YOUR SOUL
-
LOL Cas is sitting under the JACK'S sign.
Demon douche sits under Schultz, which is the death beer. And lemme tell you, TJW is well-versed in this. So well-versed in it he's sat Cas in front of a classic El Sol flyer with the subtle touch required to tell Dean that Cas is his dream girl. He knows his shit.
-
This seriously seems to be implying that the rise of hipster food joints is an effort from Hell to spread chaos on earth
-
Cas sitting with his back to the fire is such an interesting visual, but this is just a note to self for later to guess what it all means
-
THIS FUCKIN DEMON TOOK HIS BLACK SUNGLASSES OFF TO SHOW OFF HIS BLACK EYES
Dabb is so good at incidental characters, and making me hate this guy for nuanced nonsensical reasons is amazing. This is... art...
-
This is a callback to 5x08 and Dean ranting about hating procedural cop shows then him and sam taking their sunglasses on and off at night every time they made a pun and I'm 100% convinced since 12x01 and Cas busting through that Mystery Spot sign that Gabriel has been subtly influencing events
-
Okay so we know exactly what is written on demon bathroom walls. I'm taking that as a sideways confirmation that Cain knew full well that Dean had his Colette because he'd seen crude doodles of them doing it
Anyway douchedemon just outright told Cas that all the demons assume he and Dean in particular are banging. Not that Cas bangs Winchesters, as some have implied, without knowing all the details. They've narrowed this info down.
I assume this is also in the Winchester Dossier that Barthamus studied from before meeting them. I love that demons probably do have a filing cabinet somewhere of all the notable assholes they run into in their work, and the Winchesters take up a whole cabinent, but the refresher file summarising them in a paragraph if you don't have time is like, Sam: Lazy boyking, will stab you. Dean: fucking Castiel, will stab you.
-
Cas doesn't even move an eyebrow. Incredible.
-
Cas rarely gets hit with these compared to Dean in the history of the show, and Dean is full of bluster or anger or confusion or alarmed eyebrows. Cas is like... no. fuck you. i'm party!Cas, I have my shit in order.
Though this is from a demon. It's an entirely different thing when Heaven is involved, as they also have their dossier on the winchesters.
Sam: abomination. will banish you. Dean: fucking Castiel. Will stab you.
-
*loud coffee slurp* "what's in it for moi?
Cas, stab him. Stab him now. This is not worth the information. You can find another guy.
-
I'm starting to think Cas with his back to the flames is his unwitting danger from this hellish hogroast place.
-
They use Shultz beer containers to hold the sauces and menus on the table. DEEEEATH
-
Cas speaking slower and threatening to burn him to ash "right here and right now"
this is a gifset that will get a lot of notes from thirsty Cas fans
-
Whaaaaaaaa the entire joint turned out to be owned by and filled with demons who would ever have guessed based on one open fire and that metal hogs head from the promo pics :P
-
Stop hurting him!!!! Misha can't stage fight! This is really unfair!!
I wonder how the poor new awesome fight coordinator took to Misha
"let's just... um..."
"hide him behind all these demons?" TJW suggests
The fight guy nods sadly.
-
Aww Sister Jo got back to work. Good for her.
-
Sister Jo has no fear and can stroll down a shady alley counting her money
*t-shirt meme* One fear: *flappy wing noises*
"Hey Jo."
-
GHOLY SHIT TRUE FORMS TYHUEOJDSHGFSH DS TRUE FORMS WE SEE WHAT ANGELS SEEE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD SCIENCE HAS CAUGH T UP TO THE DIVINE, SPN CAN FINALL Y SHOW US WHAT ANGELS SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
Holy shit I want the gif of this as my blog header. That's shitting amazing.
-
Burning HALO
ALL HIS CHI POINTS LIT UP EVEN WHEN IT MAKES IT LOOK SILLY TO HAVE HIS CALVES GLOWING
-
I wonder if this is what Danneel sees when she looks at Jensen all the time
-
"Why would he say yes to you?"
"Love"
I'm dying and I am dead. I gather that Dean is 100% absent from this episode, but that one comment puts him front and centre and I am in paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain. Everything happening around Michael and because of Michael is because Dean loves his peeps. From Sam staying up hacking traffic cams on vampires to Cas getting his ass handed to him by demons.
-
I bet Cas looks like that single glowstick he had on in the cave when angels look at him.
-
Party!Cas
-
I ruined the fun
-
Jensen gently touches Danneel's face and that's just rude because that's all his tenderness for his wife being turned into a scary villain move between Deanchael and Jo. Don't do this to them!!!
-
Oooof Deanchael pulls from Dean's memory of Anael about what she was like, describing her in the most Cas-like terms, then cuts through her hilarious bull about wanting handbags (this is so meta about sticking middle fingers in the faces of people who think she's a well-paid beard) and then starts telling her she wants love and a family.
Deanchael has used the word "love" twice in a scene and it's horrifying to see the word come out of his face, when Dean is so guarded. Now Deanchael is just looking through Sister Jo and analysing what she wants - and she's playing this game very well but this move of his might still beat her. Because ow. Telling her she wants belonging and family. When she's very much established as a Cas mirror by the reminder she ran away from Heaven and doesn't want to play by their rules.
"It's very, very human of you. And so disappointing." Did all those times Lucifer sucked her grace bring her close to feeling it? To the point of permanent damage? I only ask because I know another guy this might apply to.
-
I wonder how much Deanchael is projecting based on conjectures because he knows Cas through Dean's eyes.
-
"But if they're all these sad, lost, fallen things..." Ya, that's Cas too for suresies
-
SAM AND JACK SAM AND JACK
Jack sitting quietly in meditation, clearly unsettled. A parallel to 13x23 when Dean came rushing in to him having a nightmare, now Sam is having a crack at parenting the boy.
-
Jack lying about how things were fine. Nougat. Hon. You're human now. But not that good at being human. Sam knows your tells :P
-
Sam interrupted mid pep-talk by Mary with some nonsense.
Jack is always so ugh... accepting and kinda flippant. He knows parental figures can be disappointing and get dragged away mid peptalk by some business.
Which he's apparently not involved in. I guess after we see him going on hunts with them in 13x23, he's grounded until he goes through basic training so not only is he useless to help with his powers to find Dean, but he can't even do the easy hunter stuff because he's just a kid.
-
Aww my poor baby Nougat :( He's so angsty. He's a TEEN. Lookit him! All growed up!
-
Uuugh I guess this is Nick. "I didn't talk to him. I can barely look at him."
What I'm getting from this sequence mainly is the sound of Triss's rage at the Bunker layout.
-
*Mary pats Sam's shoulder supportively and walks off*
You're on your own, Chief.
-
Ugh I am not ready for this bull if it's Nick but I have to keep watching to be sure :P
-
Ew it is. EW. What does Mark P HAVE on you all.
At least TJW is shooting the heck out of this to show us how gross Sam finds this all.
Sam's shadow falling over Nick.
I really want to know how this bullshit happened. And yet. No, not really.
-
Oh gross AND they're making Mark P take off his shirt. The nipple I didn't want to see in the Road So Far was not warning enough.
Pre-season ugh speculation was that whatever Crowley did to Nick made him stronger and more permanent apparently even than Lucifer being stabbed out of him.
-
So yeah anyway I guess Jack is in part also sulking about this and I'm with him, because Sam being pulled away from their pep talk time to deal with Gross Man Associated With My Father But Not Actually Him Because Biologically I Am The Son Of A Non-Historical President...
-
Making Sam the one who has to care for Nick is utterly cruel. He has so many deputies. Maybe this is just his personal fear that Nick's still a bit Lucifery. Maybe he just sees this as a gross burden, a manifestation of the ongoing trauma from Lucifer, that even when he's dead he lingers.
-
Plus, it's giving us some reassurance that an angel can be ousted from a vessel without killing them, to throw some options into the Deanchael pot.
-
Still. Nick. Really.
-
I bet Jack is sulking because some little cosmic part of him regenerating deep down in his core, that one lil gold glowy chi point in his big toe, knows that Eugenie forgot his name at SDCC and called him "Nick" and this shit from your creator just weighs on you. Jack is an entity beyond Buckleming and yet born from them, and this is what they beget: forgetting their own child in favour of this old carcass.
-
bitter? moi? *sips coffee noisily*
-
Actually, that's not true but I need some tea because I'm sulky so I'm taking this ragebreak to go make some and then I will sip it noisily in Nick's direction. :P
-
Everything henceforth is under the jurisdiction of hot drink no.2
-
"I don't understand how Lucifer could die and I could live"
I hate you
Eurgh, I bet you anything Dabb pulled a Buckleming and just took the post-it note they gave him when he asked, er, HOW does this happen? and transliterated it into dialogue because 1: all the writers shade Buckleming all the time because I can literally see it ooze out of Perez and Yockey and Bobo's writing but this is the showrunner, guyses. 2: it's such a dumbass convoluted explanation that it only burns out the archangel but if you non-fatally stab it then the guy is fine.
Which begs the question of how the fuck is Gabriel because if we get anything good from this, that fucker is in one hell of an interesting vessel situation compared to Old Nick.
-
PS: I am not sure how culturally saturated this is so we are all clear that Old Nick is a historically used name for Satan and his name has been a joke since 5x01 thanks to Kripke, and now we have to actually deal with that.
-
And then Nick is actually sympathetic to how Sam feels looking at him. I guess Mark P really wants us to feel sympathetic to his new dude.
-
"And Michael... did he tell Lucifer anything about his plan?"
Listen, we NEED acknowledgement that for a month or so Lucifer and AUMichael roadtripped together to assemble from their AU the key of solomon, the fruit of the tree of life, and the blood of a most holy man.
There was a lengthy downtime while people settled in and Dean was allowed to think the Good Times were rolling, and all that time, the weirdest brother roadtrip show ever was going on in the AU, mad enough that I would actually find it hilarious to watch despite enduring Mark P as a result of it.
-
SAM DOES NOT DESERVE THIS
He's not allowed to rest, ever.
-
I bet this is douchdemon phoning him from Cas's phone.
-
"Hello Sam!" says a perky voice down the phone. It's INCREDIBLE how unlikeable this demon is making himself. He's actually my favourite character now.
-
Oh no, Nougat is wearing a different grey shirt. He's really depressed. Someone help him.
-
"He just told you he was a demon?"
"he seemed proud of it too"
Sam hates him as well. I can't wait for Sam to come scowl at him.
-
"What do we do?" Maggie asks, completely wide-eyed. Oh honey. Poor, innocent, sheltered Maggie. What were you doing all apocalypse until we caught up with you? You aren't hardened, you're adorable.
-
AUBobby and Rufus (his gun)
-
"I'm coming too!" YAY JACK. Your father is in trouble, he's on a hunting trip and he hasn't been home in a few days, but what a different world all the rest is
-
"I'm not as strong, but I can help," he says, looking tiny beside Sam, bruised up from AUBobby's training, a single layer to make him look even smaller...
(we do not talk enough about how all these jackets are a sort of alpha being shoulder plumping thing like when you make yourself look huge to scare off a mountain lion but that's 100% what this is)
IT MADE JACK SMILE yey he's allowed to feel useful! Pop is allowing him to go on a mission to rescue Dad who was looking for Papa when this all went down.
Grandpapa is not so pleased, because AUBobby has been measuring how useful Jack is and I feel like lil Nougat bab is going to do something mildly heroic for Cas or else get pasted for his ongoing character development for the season...
-
"He needs this, Bobby."
-
Dear LORD does he not quit? We don't even know his name? "Are you sure I can't get you anything... hot... or black?" FUck OFF
No wonder by the promo pic Cas looked so utterly done. This is exhaustingly annoying for him. Cas's personal hell is just irritating people. A line of Crowleys and Lucifers and this jerkwad chattering at him.
-
And yet Dean runs his mouth all the time and Cas is in luuuurve
-
Oh lordy are we really doing this coffee metaphor now? "Coffee has no effect on me" (but he once acquired the taste, and it was a core part of him being human and learning to human in the opening shot of 9x06 for him as his metaphor for how he was learning)
"me either *sluuuurp* not any more. But it's like saltwater taffy or infants. I just like the taste."
-
"I'm just being a good host like mother would have wanted"
Cas stops mid eyeroll to eyeroll HARDER at meeting ANOTHER demon with mommy issues. Like, please. Don't. I like Rowena now but can we NOT.
-
Party!Cas of Dabb era is my favourite iteration of Cas by a country mile.
-
"Why are you using me as bait?"
"it's kind of what you're for"
Oh Cas. Now he's just the damsel in distress, which I guess is a step up from being an attack dog, but still isn't that great for the ego stroking about his role and use within the Winchester family, an ongoing source of stress for him, this reminds us.
-
Cas's faith in Sam is wonderful. like, as soon as douchmon says he needs something from Sam, Cas just SMIRKS like, OH BUDDY. BUDDDYYY. No, I'm not gonna say it. I'm just - "you think he'd make a deal with you?" I'm ... I don't laugh as a rule but inside? Hilarious.
-
"Somebody asked me what it was that I wanted" You know, I think Deanchael is INCITING people. he's not killing any of them, just using the revelation of his appearance to motivate them - moving Sister Jo to do what she wants, which is to re-organise Heaven with the ideas she had as a button pushing functionary... visiting world leaders and holy men, and this douche...
To what end, though? Chaos? This is a roundabout way to make a better world.
-
"Destroying, Drinking, Defiling, you know, the 3 Ds" they absolutely have posters up in Hell with this on for the newbies to learn.
-
We've seen Heaven's staffroom, I DEMAND to see the break room in Hell, with all its lurid Destiel smut doodled on the walls and so on
-
Anyway it's a hell of a question, pun intended, because demons have no real purpose, even the named baddies have largely been slaves to someone else's will (Lucifer or Crowley) and Crowley could not have answered that question from the start of season 6 through to the moment he chose to sacrifice himself... I don't think any of TFW 2.0 or Bunker Squad could answer it fully. Cas can't, and that's the question that's been bugging him since 9x06 -
EPHRAIM
Shh-shh-shhh. It'll be over soon. I'll take the pain away.
CASTIEL
I want to live.
EPHRAIM
But as what, Castiel? As an angel? or a man?
and it's what his entire crisis in season 10 was over... Who ARE you Castiel? What do you WANT?
-
Dean wants a Beach Vacation Ending. He figured it out and as narrative punishment, he's Deanchael. No one else has sorted it out, though, but Sam got close - he had his pizza dream and was immediately punished with being eaten by vampires and resurrected by Lucifer and all that drama... Sam's work isn't done. Though his growth has taken a huge leap, now he has to figure out what he wants in this NEW setting, and we're only just MEETING Chief Sam in this iteration, so he's got a lot of work to do.
-
"I gave it a good think and I worked out exactly what I wanted. Everything."
Deanchael definitely is planning for this, so watch out buddy.
-
SAM DRIVING, MOM IN SHOTGUN
RED ALERT
-
Uhoh Sam's snapped because of the optimism Mary exudes. Yep, he really was nearly at the last straw in their earlier convo when he scoffed at her attempts to cheer him up.
Look, she's trying to mom you with no experience except adopting Jack. Work with her.
-
Sam is spiralling with the depression, this time all the bad things that could have happened to Dean and how they're never going to find him, throwing these horrible scenarios at Mary to stop her trying to comfort him.
-
"I know. I know he's out there, scared and alone." She sees lil 4 year old Dean. Because, I mean, that is the soul Dean bears to her when they have moments sometimes. And her optimism is a wall against thinking of her toddler in this scenario.
"I know. I know he might not come back. Never think I don't know that. But I can't - I have to think about the good, Sam. Because if I don't, I will drown in the bad." I wonder who that directly relates to who is currently driving this car.
I really hope this is a bit of vindication for Mary - or redemption to the eyes of the people who don't like her - that she does care, and she's spelling out her approach to all this. In the start of season 12 when she was trying to keep afloat she used a lot of optimism and furious paddling on the surface, because she has been doing that her whole life. When she was being raised a hunter, when she was a housewife with no clue what she was doing, a mom but he marriage beginning to fall apart... And then thrust into the present day, and it's 360 degrees of combat and loss and sadness and a ill-advised hook up with Ketch... Furious doggy paddling on the surface.
"For Dean's sake, I can't do that. We can't do that." And she shows that she is prioritising Dean, that she's driven and motivated to keep going FOR him.
Come on, give her a chance.
-
Nyooom.
-
Meanwhile in the Jack and Bobby truck, Jack is the one angsting and Bobby is the one driving.
Jack is one years old and not legally old enough to drive.
-
Bobby peptalks him with the reminder that when Jack had his grace he did hero things for these people, which is why he can ride shotgun, and even if he feels useless now, they'll have his back, that he has earned this squad even if he can't be as awesome as he used to.
-
Maggie is like, I'm getting a reaction shot... Am I going to develop feelings for Jack? That would be super weird, he's one years old. I hope no one is implying this even though I'm in a bunch of scenes getting character focus.
-
Eeeeeeee Sam trusts Mary with the demon killing knife. I am sure they don't call it Ruby's knife to her and he has never, ever told her about that time that thing happened with Ruby.
-
This fucker had his back turned for Sam to enter just so he could turn around dramatically. God he's repellent.
-
An extra was hired to pat Sam down. What a job.
-
"The shoulders. The hair! You are my Beyonce!" I mean, same. Except. Cas is Agent Beyonce so this fuckhead has totally misread this situation.
This gives Sam a moment to look over at Cas and Cas silently says, yes I know he's a total fuckhead, I've been dealing with this all day. I'm so sorry bro, can you just stab him so we can go home and follow a different lead. I don't even care what this one knows, I can't handle him another minute.
-
"I'm more embarrassed than I am hurt" I understand this to my core, and I'm so sorry, Cas.
-
"Kipling. Kip for short."
"Cool. Kip. I'm here." Sam being exactly as "fuck you" as I wanted towards Kip.
Sam is now standing with his head in an El Sol sign. TJW what are you up to bud?
-
Oh no Jack and Maggie got caught skulking. Sam and Cas have the same "my boy!" reaction when they see Cas.
Maggie is here too, you monsters.
But Kip has missed Mary and AUBobby
-
"It's just late capitalism, you understand" Yeah, and fuck you Kip.
-
How is Kip so irritating that he can make tapping a stool somehow the most obnoxious thing a man could do? He's WONDERFULLY well-cast. I love this actor. He's chewing scenery and it's incredible.
-
"What do you want?" Ow, Sam being twisted into asking the same thing Deanchael asked Kip
-
"Ass-modeus Kentucky Fried" listen you are still the worst but that drew a sympathetic smile and I hate it and I hate you.
-
Oh, Sam just Sammed something from that side glance, random demon side-eye. Oooh. Oooooooh.
But yeah, Kip asking for the "Crowley Deal" as if it's a package that can be bought from the Winchesters, and not something that Crowley wormed his way into via much back and forth power plays and drama. The Winchester have always had a back and forth with Hell, and since Crowley there have been a lot of demons, like Bart, trying to figure out what exactly it WAS that they all had. But someone has to be in charge, and the Winchesters are the top dog destined hunters with their fingers in all the world-saving pies, so clashes come naturally. Approaching them like this, first Bart, now this douchenozzle, is meta, presumptuous, overstepping what builds naturally... An attempt to leapfrog to the end where the equilibrium is established.
But Crowley had time to build a long game. These new pretenders are working in a world where the Winchesters' actions have devastated Heaven and Hell alike, and are, like Mary, just trying to keep afloat on the whole thing.
"We never gave Crowley that deal." Because yes, that's how it seemed to play out, and from outsider eyes that's how it may have looked... But each and every interaction came about naturally through the plot, there was no wrangling it. That's just how the Winchesters and Crowley ended up.
And that hole can't be filled by someone just leaping into the chair and asking for it.
Though it is nice if Motown Meats is the new seat of Hell on Earth instead of the outdated exterior asylum interior castle dungeon look Crowley set up.
-
"You're no Crowley. I know that. So do they." I think that was what Sam Sammed out of the demons, and also true, and ALSO is this the boyking accidentally exerting himself, knowing what's good for Hell? I always get a lil tingle in my thumbs when Sam gets too involved in knowing what's up with Hell.
-
Holy shit Kipling was a Mongolian warlord who rode with Genghis Khan in life. PLEASE survive this episode, I want to hate you all season. PLEAAAASE I BEG YOU.
-
Oh my god this insecure whinging asshole, chowing down on the scenery like there's no tomorrow. "I'D EAT YOUR HEART" *turns to weepy and quiet* "before I show you who I really am..."
This is Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending levels of scenery eating. He's gonna pick up a barstool and take a bite out of it now.
-
Sam is doing this all unarmed, which is something to remember, because this is the fucker who talked his way into killing the Alpha Vamp while MOSTLY unarmed for a majority of that chat.
-
Sam Fucking Winchester.
-
AUBOBBY AND RUFUS!!!!
Also mary.
-
But AUBobby gets a slow mo for Rufus shooting demons.
-
HOLY SHIT MARY'S SLOW MO
I am pregnant
-
MARY THROWING SAM THE KNIFE
-
TJW was like this fight is too fast, my guy. We need to slow it down. You're so good at your job no one's gonna see what happened unless we go slow mo.
he and the fight guy high five
-
"Aw, balls."
Hey, Nougat tried. He's got a squishy hero centre.
Looks like he weighs nothing and now he's human he goes down in one punch. Owie.
-
"Here take this. You know how to use it?"
"Uh! Stab them with the pointy end!?"
"pretty much"
Maggie you precious girl why are you HERE. Why is Soups On or Gnarly Gun Guy not here?
-
Cas you fucking damsel in distress
-
Fight guy is like "uuuuh do I have to"
Misha is like "I'm good here, tbh"
-
SAM FUCKING WINCHESTER
(Aw, Kip's dead, he was fun)
-
"ENOUGH"
YES SIR
-
"There will be NO NEW KING OF HELL"
You are gonna get demon minions like fucking ducklings you ass
-
"Not ever. And if anyone wants the job, you can come through me" Sam is technically immortal so long as Rowena is alive and vice versa you know. Also, how long is he planning on defending Hell? Ever?
I'm stalling from how much I have to scream about how badass Sam was throwing down that declaration that he's now essentially the trial a pretender to the throne has to pass to take the job.
Because if I was a demon... FUCK NO would I want to tangle with this fucker.
-
Sam's file, updated: Current King Of Hell. Will Kill You. AVOID.
-
Sam is fucking terrifying. I love it. He scared demons out of their meatsuits. Sam walking into a room is now a reason to eject and abort mission. God. This guy.
-
Remember in season 1 when demons were scary? Oo er this isn't our sort of thing... halp.
Now Sam looks them in the eye and is like, fuck off. I'm scarier than any of you.
-
"That's what I thought"
Cas is literally giving you the reverse look of in 4x16 when you marched in and fried Alastair's brain.
-
SAM GOT A NEW SHIRT thank god.
I should amend: he did all this wearing blue plaid with orange stripes.
Sam Fucking Winchester.
The BMoL definitely didn't have the right birth certificate because that's his legal middle name.
-
Sam n Caaaaas my GUYS. I hope this is the 10x01 convo but, like, not. Flip flip flip those pancakes, Dabb my guy.
-
Cas, hon, you're still so beat up you have blood trails coming out of your nose. There's not really caring about your meatsuit because it heals eventually, but there's also washing your fucking face, because Sam's had time to change his shirt and get a beer so what were you doing?
-
Probably staring at a picture of Dean on his phone and sighing.
-
Anyway he's here to ask how Sam is, rather than care about himself. Symbolism.
"I've been better. And worse." Worse is 10x01.
Or 4x10's flashbacks. For sure those are the worstest.
Though, this time you are the king of hell and you're wearing a dark shirt and I don't think you have thought this through.
-
The most well-meaning accidental king of hell ever.
-
Sam and Cas share the "to find Dean I'd do anything" look. Be CAREFUL. Cas is literally choosing to wear hubris on his face because he feels bad about his fuck up with going to Kip.
-
Mary! Casual Mary chilling in the kitchen!!
Although, with everyone in the bunker, these rooms are taking on different meanings. The people are chasing out the heavy shadows and ghosts of all the oppressive silences Sam and Dean have filled these corners with.
-
Aw it's Mary and AUBobby. I was half-hoping we'd have her giving beer to Jack, but I guess we need to set up the forward momentum on their relationship for this season.
"Not bad today, old man." "you too, Sunshine."
You do realise that Mary is sitting in the exact same spot as where Dean was when he called Cas "Sunshine" You do know that right I mean you KNOW? This is TJW, he knows. He's a Destiel Shipper of the highest order.
-
Cas pops in on Jack, staring at his busted up face in a mirror, now filling more Winchester angst tropes to make up for lost time.
"I'm fine," he says without being asked. Because 10x01 or 10x02 was where Cas defined "fine" for Hannah and explained to her it's what humans say when things are really not fine but they can't admit it.
-
"You did well."
"All I did was get punched. In the face."
I love snarky teen Jack.
"To be fair, we all got punched in the face," Cas says, still covered in hubris.
He has a POINT. He has full right to pull the "I should feel more useless than you" card on Jack.
-
Jack doing the "i'm useless" thing that Cas had to go through when he lost his grace, and Jack was allowed to stay in the Bunker. Is this how Cas would have felt had he not been kicked out?
-
Jack says Michael's out there and he still feels responsible to stop him. There's a very, very very very ver very weird Hamlet vibe from Jack, being forced into a position of emotional responsibility to kill his uncle, but Cas is his once dead now back and not a ghost father, and Jack couldn't kill Michael and so Dean got possessed... I mean, it's not a neat overlay, but Jack wants to kill an uncle, an AUncle, and I feel like in terms of uncle-killing narratives, AU Michael making off with Dean fits about as well to Hamlet's uncle marrying his mom as we're gonna get... I'd love to see how this shapes out because these family narratives since season 11 are becoming deeply shakespearean in the amount of nonsense going on. This sort of supernatural drama is a modern world way to have this kind of heightened emotion and the stakes you find in Shakespearean tragedies, and to force the sorts of reflection on the world and self... I really really dig it. Watching season 13 yesterday really hit me with this feeling all over and I'm delighted that Jack has this arc because I'm so amused/interested to see where this weirdo Hamlet parallel goes for him.
-
"I don't have anything."
"Oh Jack" thanks Cas that's what I said out loud "you have me. You have all of us. You have your family." *SHOULDER GRASP*
No hug. Fuck off Cas, with your reassuring shoulder grasps. I know that's the language you've been taught but Dabb era is hug era and you suck.
-
I love that with all of Sam and Mary's doubt and Jack's lack of self worth, it's down to CAS. CASTIEL. CASTIEL WINCHESTER. CASTIEL FUCKING WINCHESTER. PARTY!CAS. to give the actual pep talk of the episode which has ANY conviction behind it. Cas has been fuelled with something MAGNIFICENT since the Empty, and he's turned it up to 11 for Jack here :')
-
Jack makes the smallest smile, then turns back to his mirror.
-
Sam opening the door to his bedroom, framed in darkness. 10x01 parallels again - this shot as well as the demon dean one were repeated a few times through the 3 episode arc, and the demon dean one became iconic but Sam did it too, to Dean's room. Now he goes into his own... empties his pockets... he still has the fucking engraved money clip from Tall Tales because Gabriel is not only not dead but telling this entire story for us... He has the phone, that's off, because Dean is not there, not communicating with him, blah blah. And he has the keys to the Impala. Because he's the chief.
Well, the King of Hell. Damn, it took 14 years to get him there. Azazel is fucking spinning in his grave.
-
Ooh, phonecall! Is it Deanchael? "What do you want?"
Nope, it's Sister Jo! :D She's been standing there ALL NIGHT weighing her options and working out what she wants.
SPIN THAT CHAOS, DEANCHAEL.
-
Deanchael approaches a vampire, and it's that purity of Purgatory, that just wanna eat that fuelled so much of the badass stuff in season 7 with the Leviathan, everything Dean's struggled with when it comes to the black and white world of killing monsters no problem that dates back to Gordon in 2x03, that draws Deanchael to them. Because this is Dean's safe space with Benny, a real relationship based on a bond forged in pure, kill or be killed, eat or be eaten purgatory. Deanchael has the same inner machinery as Dean, because Michael is the worst version of Dean, engineered to be Dean but without love. Dean as a monster. And so it all leads here... D:
-
Well this will be fun :D

HELLO DEMONS(TUMBLR). IT'S YA BITCH. LOGAN.
🎶Bastille - World Gone Mad🎤
Hello, my fellow Tumblr tag scollers and the like. So, first of all. I know what chu're probably wondering. What I've been asked before. What's my real pictures? Is it my icon? What's my REAL name though? Am I a dyke? Am I a fag? Am I straight or into fucking pots and frying pans? And most importantly of all, behind this screen and the possibly billions (I could be an alien for all you all two of you know) of miles between us, WHAT is in my pants? It's a wholesome sorting of questions I'm sure. Soo let me just answer them now before they totally and completely fill my inbox (Ya okay, Lo.).
A) NO. Most likely those pictures I will be using as my icons will not be my real photos and NO it is not because I am scared or whatever to use my real face. Infact I am so unafraid of it that it might even be my own picture every now and then just, without the face. Have fun figuring that out maybe. Hah.
And so to all of the blonde/blond bitches I use in my icons, just know, thank you, you're fucking beautiful, and you're welcome for the free, scrappy, face promo, my dude.
THANKS BITCHES.
B) (Is for BADGES so I know what the FUCK I'm talking about.) Yeeeeeaaaaahhh. It's Logan. Hayes. 'Sup?
C) NO.
D) (ick) NO.
E) NAH. YEAH?? NAH.
And most importantly F) NAH. As is nah of anybodies business honestly. I don't really think you NEED to know. I don't really think anyone short of my DOCTOR NEEDS to know right now at this very moment seeing as I am particularly single(But like no not as a pringle because pringles are- the farthest thing from single possibly? Like, damn. Pringles got game. Mad game.). See I don't really think if I'm a male or if I'm a female is really important here on my blog. It's actually quite irrelevant. Sooooooooo, nope.
Okay! Well now that we've got all of that out of the way what I WILL, neigh, SHALL tell you avout myself is that I ammmmmm different. We're all different. I am different from a lot of people in my area, and so for this, I get a lot of questions. I lose a lot of friends, I make a lot of intresting enimes, and I got a lot of shit to talk and complain and laugh and cry about. My life is pretty Gods damn intresting if I do so say myself. And all look, here's where I wanna talk about it. Where I can go back and potentially read about it when I'm like thirty four and question what the FUCK was going on with me at eighteen. So here I am. Logan Hayes. For all the world to see. Hope the internet enjoys.
LHayes.

Would you do a breakdown of the Hypable article?
Hi Anon,
Haven’t done of of these for a bit but here you go :D
An unusual opening
If last week’s 100th episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended in way we’ve never seen, “Principia” takes the opposite approach by giving us a rather unusual beginning. Don’t look for similar warm fuzzies, though; the opening scene of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 5×13 is also about as thematically distant from FitzSimmons’ sunlit nuptials as it’s possible to get.
But the scene does has an equal (if very different) impact on the story going forward, in ways that become eerily clear as the episode unfolds.
Sassy answer: The lighting budget was all burned on the Wedding Scene and it was totally worth it.
I’m going with something really awful is happening to someone we might know from the past. I’m still banking on seeing Hydra in some shape or form here shortly.
Whatever this horrible thing is will play a huge role in what is to come. It could be anything from Mad Science to a crazy reveal.
I think the vein I am picturing it to be in is AIDA’s ‘upgrading’ the superior in ick and creepy factors.
Elena gets real
Having dealt with the initial horror and first steps toward recovery, “Principia” allows (/forces) Elena into the next stage of her new life. And guys? It sucks.
Between her new physical reality, the pressure of her awful foreknowledge, and her unnatural state of enforced stillness, Elena has some crap to work through in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 5×13. And work through it she does, in a set of scenes that are equal parts emotional torture and catharsis. It’s tough stuff, and Natalia Cordova-Buckley handles it beautifully.
And if you weren’t in love with Mack before…
Mack is going to be the super supportive and wonderful boyfriend taking care of her and trying to help her heal.
Elena is dealing with a massive weight on her shoulders as the blip says and I think its going to be exactly as advertised. Have tissues on hand.
Looking to get some insight as to what she is going to do with the knowledge she got from her Loop Counterpart.
Also looking for Mack to not hold back when he comes across those goons again.
Feartown funtimes
Remember the rather inexplicable fear-dimension that sprang up to power the engine of last week’s episode? (Of course you do, it hasn’t even been a week.) Well, if you were concerned that the writers of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.might miss the opportunity to viscerally terrify their characters in later episodes, fear not. This dimensional rift is exactly as unstable as the story requires, allowing for terror-leakage whenever it is most needed.
But the reaction is no less unnerving for all that that the plot device is a bit transparent. Let’s just say that it’s not only Phil who gets to face a deeply-buried and strangely-embodied scare in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 5×13.
The band aid starts to fail. It was already known from the promo that Deke gets attacked by a Kree.
I believe the Deke’s mother is going to be like Mike was with Coulson, a familiar face that will manifest a dark fear. Possibly try to lead him or someone else into a trap.
I am also expecting to at the very least get a hint as to how Fitzsimmons fear of losing each other will manifest.
Top Pick is The Doctor, but if they pull another surprise guest star on us Ward or AIDA could take that form as well.
Everything old is new again (again)
Season 5 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been gradually seeding in material from the show’s earliest days, and “Principia” pursues that trend even further. Another familiar face returns to haunt the team (and deal with his own ghosts) while the miracle element gravitonium and a very, very old (one might say OG) antagonist slip back into the center of the scene.
But there’s a new light cast on old stories, a new angle to what we already know. It’s not just S.H.I.E.L.D. that may be passing the torch to a new generation; fresh young faces on every side are rising to challenge what came before them… and boy, do they smell blood in the water.
HELLO HYDRA!!!!! If you can’t tell I”m going down with the ship on that one too here. Hale is somehow tangled up with them and Ruby’s classes could even be taught by them.
Look for a familiar baddie to have an apprentice of their own to mirror Coulson/Daisy.
With Young Von Strucker in 15 I am watching for Werner to return as well. Maybe ready to embrace his father’s legacy or enact some revenge against Shield.
QUINN!!!! It’s been a long time since he was last even mentioned but also had one of those open stories. The finale in Season 1 had him making off with the Gravitonium. He was in with Hydra and that likely didn’t end well, especially if they wanted the Gravitonium for their own nefarious purposes. He could also be considered one of the original villains of the show.
Straight-up trolls
Don’t quite know what to do with the information that FitzSimmons are married, and Deke is their grandson? Well, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.writers do. And what they do could be best described as a dance of utterly shameless trolling.
With all three characters involved completely oblivious to their familial status, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 5×13 lets gleefully loose with the winks, nods, puns, and ironies. Deke stays behind in the Lighthouse with Simmons and Fitz, and while I can assure you that “Principia” does this work for a purpose, a big part of that purpose is to send viewer’s heads crashing toward their desks.
But don’t let my tone deceive you — this comedy of errors might be the brightest spot of story in the whole damned season!
This has to be one of the things I’m most excited about seeing. Its been fun going back and looking at all the clues they dropped and I’m excited to see what they do when they can be so ‘blatant’ about it.
Deke staying behind with Fitzsimmons will be more than comic relief as they troll everyone. Right now I’m thinking there is some sort of reveal that comes from him being with them that is important for future episodes.
This could be at least one of them figures it out (early money is on Deke figuring it out first and not knowing what to do with that info).
They all figure it out.
It somehow plays into Fitzsimmons fear for 14 (see my Crazy Theory on how that plays out).
Fitzsimmons have to save their future Grandkid
Deke reveals something about the end of the world or something he grew up on that has an ah ha moment for Fitzsimmons and puts some pieces together.
Overall prediction: Lot’s of family feels all around.

Kado 7 (includes notes on Kado 6.5 + Tsukigakirei 6.5) | Boku no Hero Academia 21 | Grimoire of Zero 7 | Royal Tutor 8 | Tsukigakirei 7
Kado 7 (includes notes on Kado 6.5 + Tsukigakirei 6.5)
Some notes on the recap: It’s interesting they styled the title card to be like a silent movie, but the embellishments in the top corners are high-tech. Tsukigakirei’s recap was a slog because it awkwardly cut, but because of all the indications of time and the fact there’s already a narrator, this show fits a recap style much better (but the titlecards and changing of the eyecatch make this ep feel fresh, which is great!). Also, it seems I was wrong about how it had been three days since Kado’s appearance (see ep 5’s commentary), because the counter hits 5 days when the first passengers are released.
Wait…that “brain” was a device???
“Hi Setten”, LOL. Also, I found out “kado” (with this combo of kanji -> 過度) can mean “excess” or “immoderation”, and “setten” means “settings” or “options”...I first remember seeing the word in the Boueibu game, where “setten” of course would refer to things like “volume on/off” and that.
Apparently, the Google CEO’s name is Sundar Pichai…I thought it was Larry Page and Sergey Brin as co-CEOs, but I guess I was wrong…Also notice Ward’s iPad says “ihou sonzai” (anisotropic being).
Oh flap. Adam’s pulling a Great Fitz here…
I’ve seen the “I can’t dry my laundry!” screenshot before, but seeing it in context is funny all over again. In fact, it makes it even funnier.
I was worried about how the show might get a little too philosophical after ep 6’s end, but it’s good to see Hanamori retains his sleeping capabilities. *stifles laughter* They even rendered Hanamori’s bedhead.
“Kado comes here, and instead of running, they find a way to market it.” – It’s an interesting, yet extremely obvious point that we tend to ignore because we’re so used to it. That’s why tourism – even fake tourism - sells. Why do I bring this up? Because I want to, for one, and because I hope to exploit this angle for Half-Paid Heroes. (I wanna know how to make Kado cake, too…)
CR subbers, I thought Gonno’s first name was “Takumi”?...
That’s cute, it’s a helicopter landing spot, complete with “H” marking.
If I didn’t know any better, I might’ve called Shindo zaShunina’s sidekick. (LOL)
This “stacks of books” scene is something like what I imagined when I wrote White Parasite’s La Luna’s hideout in the mountains…that’s one of the reasons I’ve been able to give Kado and zaShunina an unyielding love. Also, I thought the promo 2D Shunina looked creepy, so this 2D shot of Shunina stole my heart!!!
The cube seats remind me of those child corners in libraries and that, where you have mini stools for playing pretend. Oh. Speaking of which, it reminds me of this Rubik’s cube.
Okay. I thought Kado would be a show devoid of such things, but let’s play the game of “What drugs were the producers on today?”
Okkkkkkkkkay. (stifles laughter) Did you realise the Shunina heads made a heart, with the “real” (existing in the normal dimensions) Shunina in the middle? Hahaha…
Wait. That screaming thing in episode…2, I think it was? The bit where Shindo grabs his head in agony?...was Shunina giving him (Shindo) the sense of the anisotropic? Ahhhhhhhhh. That makes sense now!
“They were good humans.” – Just in case you didn’t forget Shunina is an extradimensional bishie being. I guess it’s kind of along the lines of Kai’s (Royal Tutor’s) “You’re all good boys!”, which is true both there and here. In most cases (except maybe Shunina and Ward), the boys of Kado are good boys.
A bookmark. For an avid reader like Shunina (or myself…haha), it’s a perfect gift. Just make sure they’re not so heavy they fall out of books, because then they’re useless.
They put the festival scene in 2D! (It would be a cost cutting measure for sure, but…you know what I said about 2D Shunina previously? Yeah, that.) Also, it just goes to show you even a high concept sci-fi show like this goes for the jugular in depicting fanservice for the “people who like hot guys” and “people who like tsunderes”. However, did Shunina change his own clothes? Did Shindo or someone else get the yukata for him? Does Shunina even have the concept of “changing clothes”???
Fake Nintendo Switch. I’ve also seen this screenshot making the Tumblr rounds before.
LOL, giant turtle. I like turtles.
Haha, negotiating even at a festival. I LOLled too hard at the line, “What is buttered potato?” (but I also like buttered potatoes…I like a lot of things).
“Saraka-san, zaShunina, you, and the turtle will be in group B.” This typo’s the same case as the Gonno one earlier this ep.
“Are there any negative effects?”
How do you lose an anisotropic being at a festival? I actually hope he isn’t being rabidly devoured by a bunch of girls who think he’s hot.
Just seeing the credits reminded me that Shinawa was absent this ep (which was good). Also, has Natsume appeared in every ep’s credits so far? I don’t remember because I normally don’t watch credits.
Boku no Hero Academia 21
“Sparking Killing Boy”, LOL.
The more I watch Mei, the more I feel like I’m watching The Truman Show (where there’s one woman who advertises things near the beginning of the movie).
The belt transformation refers to sentai heroes.
Hmm…I agree with Deku on Aoyama’s strategy, since his laser is best used from afar.
That was an unexpected (for me) win for Tokoyami. I knew his Quirk was good all around, but I thought Yaoyorozu would win for sure. It’s just the difference in confidence, eh?
“…focussing on the shield Yaoyorozu made.”
I kinda get what Uraraka’s saying. After all, she might end up dragging Deku down one day by relying on him too much.
Grimoire of Zero 7
It annoys me how tavern girl looks so similar to Zero.
Why do fantasy travellers (or Brock in Pokémon, for that matter) never have big packs? You’d think they do…
The colour of the night sky in this episode is pretty.
This wolf’s like Sonic (One Punch Man). Such a sore loser.
Hey wait, did Thirteen see her…uh, assets? Did he dress her wounds?! Eep! I do not ship this. *shakes head*
Royal Tutor 8
Ouch, Licht, you got burnt! On the other hand, I agree with Bruno that he should sleep forever, noting past comments I’ve heard him (Licht) say.
Ah, the zoo. What nostalgia that brings. I’ve been to the closest zoo at least twice…thrice…four times…? I don’t remember anymore, but the zoo is always a fun place.
It’s smiling, ReLIFE style!
Braunbar (with umlaut over the second a) is German for…wait for it…brown bear.
Bunnies can bite you when you least expect it. From my experience, they don’t draw blood though. (How do I know this? There’s one outside my window as I speak. He’s probably someone’s stray, although no one’s come for him so my family have had to take care of him.)
Shut up, Licht! That’s not comedy, that’s just killing time!
I still wonder…how does Kai actually wear that jacket? It must be troublesome to put on if he’s always wearing it like that.
Ahhhh! Dangit, Kai’s too good for words. The only thing that can quell my “fan of bishies” heart is fangirl screaming.
Those “tricks” of yours didn’t work, Licht. Get out. Besides, Bruno, I barely remembered that brick joke.
My heart sank a little when I saw they weren’t using the cheesy live-action version of the ED. Still the next episode looks like it will address some plot-critical things, and I’m worried for Kai because he’s the sort who can’t get over his problems easily. (As a sidenote, a similar tabloid article shtick was used in SGRS, so I welcome this plotline.)
Tsukigakirei 7
Vita Sexualis is a Mori Ougai work, so I’m kinda on edge about it…knowing Bungou’s Ougai, that is.
Why does this ep’s title sound like it should be a Boueibu one instead???
These (mostly still) shots of theme parks just make it seem like the staff are scrounging for money.
According to the omake at the end of one ep, you’re meant to ship Roman with the teacher (as ick as that is), so I can understand why Roman’s on his lonesome.
Stop egging her on, Hira! She’ll get nervous! (I say that because I don’t like roller coasters much.)
I feel like the word “viva” is being overdone, attendant person. Google-sensei says the word means “live (verb)”, so it doesn’t make sense at all.
Hira’s freckles really don’t seem to be a mistake. Also my brain can’t make sense of “sorabune” – the word for ship/boat is “fune”, but it doesn’t become “bune” when attached to another word...not that I know of, anyway.
Yamashina? We’ve never been told Roman’s surname before…
Potori Water, LOL. Parody on Pocari Sweat if you didn’t know that.
It’s nice that they didn’t do the full-on “can on face at aumsement park” thing I’ve come to expect from romances, because Detective Conan kinda solidified that as the norm for me.
The Big O in this case isn’t an anime, it’s a Ferris wheel.
Josei Next Door did a CR article where she suggested people needed to talk to each other more, and while it was on The Royal Tutor, sometimes I wish Akane and Kotarou would talk to each other properly too…welp, I spoke too soon (sort of).Why “sort of”? Because Kotarou is speaking to Hira, but he ain’t speaking to Akane.
I feel a twinge of guilt in that I wanted Chinatsu’s and Hira’s dreams to be shattered to make way for the canon couple, and Chinatsu’s tears exacerbate that feeling. I guess this is what it’s like to be a shipper, eh – to ignore the feelings of couples in order to get your own way, knowing your dreams may not even become reality? (But can’t these kids all be happy??? It could easily be a “pair the spares” situation, now that I think of it.)
The takoyaki’s nice, but that background with the screaming girl is creepy…It appears to be a parody on Beavertails, for some odd reason. Why is there a Canadian product being used as product placement in an anime (and why a product I’ve only ever heard of from a Canadian TV show, to boot)???...*record scratch* Okay, I’m weirded out, and I admit defeat. Beavertails exist in Japan.
Couple selfies. That just goes to show how much trends can permeate culture…hey, does that mean people may one day use memes in anime? (Even though anime creates memes?) It’s meme-ception!
It seems live action footage was used for this show, if you look closely, and it’s not just the OP I’m talking about…
Finally, a part of Tsukigakirei I can get behind! These night scenes are so real! If it weren’t for Kotarou and Akane, I’d think these scenes to be photos and not animation at all.
I get this feeling that we’ll end with either their graduation or them as adults, with Kotarou telling their kids “…and this is how I met your mother.” Which would be awkward as all get out, but okay. (I haven’t seen How I Met Your Mother by the way, although it sounds like a scenario that would happen in it…)
Aw, dangit. They got their kiss interrupted. At least it wasn’t by Chinatsu, that would’ve caused more tears on her end.
Mireta (used in “Did you see the fireworks?”) seems to be an odd formation of mieta, but in slang, people break the grammar rules all the time, so I’d suspect people break the spelling rules too.
I was surprised to find out this ep’s ED LINE chat is a wife to a husband. That confirms my How I Met Your Mother thoughts, somewhat. (The husband had overtime and got the wife juice. It seems they were going to an event, because the wife says to check the invitation guest list...and so on, so forth.)
Oh? There are more omakes? I’ll watch ‘em someday when I’m bored…I guess.

So there's another Fitz x Aida kiss in 4x17 (shown in the promo). Any advice to fellow Fitzsimmons shippers who are about to lose their damn minds?
HI Anon!
I’m oddly chill on the matter, @agent-85 was with me after I saw the reveal and I was okay then too, even a bit excited. Because its the epic love story we wanted. And I’m pretty sure a few of you are ready to just toss me out the window on the matter but here we go.
Here’s the deal, we don’t get to have it both ways. We don’t get a Fitzsimmons centered story arc that is all sunshine and roses. Its TV, they have to tell a story. You guys know me…I worry if something is coming too easy…IE Philinda earlier in the season. And its nothing new that we’ve had to suffer to get our previous big moments.
FZZT = Fitz’s feelings and Cheek Kiss
Skye getting shot = Tracks hug
Fall at the Hub = Reunion hug
Dear goodness the Pod = The Pod scene
Angst fest that was Season 2 = Hand hold, sandwich (so help me that had better show back up), Maybe there is, and Date plans
Maveth = Reunion in 2
Videos = Sunrise
Hogface = First kiss
Closure/Maveth = I can’t live in a world without you in it, come back to me, and Reunion Hugs
Starting over = Hand hold and kisses and EVENT HORIZON
So the more we suffer in the feels department typically the better the pay off. Then we need to look at what is on the table here for us…Love Nest, fix it together (which I feel will happen as they come together for the first time in forever and properly Fitzsimmons a solution), and Engagement. Those have been set up and if you look back they have paid everything they set up off. Meaning the engagement is the endgame here.
This arc is also a lot of what I predicted and many of us wanted (really this is all stuff I’ve been metaing for ages so since they are pulling all these I hope they noted the taking a step back from Shield and Marriage ones too).
Fitznapping…yeap
Fitznapped to be forced to build something for the baddie…check (well that is my theory and I’m sticking too it)
Long term Fitznapping…yeap again
Woman on Fire getting him back…look at our girl shooting Hydra agents and stealing cars!
Fitz’s back story….got some and might get some more!
Did it go down exactly as I thought, no, kudos to AIDA for really stepping it up a notch here.
AIDA recognized that the strongest relationship to Mimic was Fitzsimmons. Its what true love looks like. Because she could have done this with any of the other relationships on the table (Philinda, Mackelena, or Agcliffe). To be clear I don’t like the Fitz/Aida stuff, they could have had Radcliffe be the baddie and teh possessive one of Fitz, but I see what they are doing with it. Plus in the long run its going to eat less time than the angst surrounding hogface did.
On top of that her hold on him is SO thin, Fitzsimmons bond SO STRONG…that she had to completely REMOVE Jemma from his life and is trying to keep Fitz from even seeing her face. And I’m still saying she’s gone well beyond fixing a regret with Fitz.
We can appreciate that Lil and Iain are going to get to stretch their legs a little bit with both Leopold and Simmons. Lil gets to be all sorts of Woman on Fire and I am looking forward to when she gets her hands on Radcliffe and AIDA. While Iain gets to go evil for a little bit…yet he still slips in our Fitz. We clearly see when our Fitz is breaking through…even better is when its about subversive Jemma. As a fan I want to support them in whatever story they have…even if its not the one I would have personally chosen.
And all this pain will give us one heck of a reunion. Hopefully one in the Framework and one in real life (after they scare the living Hades out of us with Fitz crashing or something as they try to pull him out).
I remember vividly the asks I got in the A Arc as many were upset that Fitzsimmons didn’t have much of a story on top of little screen time. Well now that is being corrected. They are central to the story and will have a fair amount of screen time (just not together for a bit). The mysteries with what happened to Fitzsimmons Framework selves and getting Fitz back will prove key to getting out of the Framework and they are going to need Fitz to help stop AIDA and whatever she is having Framework Fitz help her build.
Finally in watching Lil and Iain’s Wondercon interviews. Iain makes it clear that Fitz and Framework Fitz are two completely different people. He played two characters. Even more so that for real Fitz (who is still in there buried under what AIDA did) its all about Jemma, the relationship with AIDA is Framework Fitz…Fitz isn’t going to wake up and be torn between the two. We’ll see AIDA’s hold start to slip as soon as Fitz starts to remember. Which is why it might take the longest for him to do so. Also Iain and Lil were happy in the Wondercon Interviews. Lil is one that you can typically tell when she doesn’t like where a story goes. Both of them were all smiles, Iain shut down post framework AIDA anything right away (and emphasized it was who he was in the Framework that he is VERY different), I feel that Lil even had to stop him a few times when he might have gotten too spoilery.
My plan to get through any future kisses include my good friends Ben & Jerry.
I know this doesn’t take the ick factor out of it and I know what I say can’t convince anyone to keep watching or be okay with this arc. But this is where I am with it and how I am dealing with it. I know the pain will be worth the pay off and for now all we can do is buckle up and hang on tight!
