You know, I naively assumed that within a couple of years, the D/C wackadoo conspiracy train would surely have to eventually run out of willing passengers. Except guess what, this very fucking week they're still willing to throw themselves at the most pathetically transparent possibility of a hint their ship was/is/should have been canon [X].
As pointed out in the linked refutation post, on the one hand? You have Jensen stating clearly over and over again he sees that relationship as familial. You have various shippers who infiltrated the production crew and really wanted it to be a thing point blank stating there was never a scripted reciprocation or an ad-libbed one shot on the day. You have the publicly available script explicitly stating Dean can't reciprocate. You even have Misha, the king of queerbaiting himself, stating there was no secret version where Dean replied. When it comes directly to the dub in question, you have the voice actor for Castiel saying he didn't see the scene as romantic at all even in that "creative liberties" version. You have the one who did Dean's voice attributing the choice of adding a response entirely on their director who decided that his "intense abilities" meant he understood the story better than the people who wrote it.
On the other hand, you have a random tumblr D/C conspiracist who claims to have had a totally really real conversation with the translator who did that dub years after the fact. Who said he literally didn't remember working on that specific script but that he never adds stuff so it must have been in the script he got for it to have happened!
Anyone with at least two half-functional brain cells to rub together should be able to evaluate the evidence versus the "evidence" and see this isn't a smoking gun, it's one of those toy pistols where a flag comes out with BANG! written on it - but it's a broken POS so the flag doesn't even work. Except they want to believe, and that continues to outweigh facts and logic every time. I just don't get what the hell was in the kool-aid that they're still this desperately, embarrassingly credulous over something that was done and dusted nearly three years ago now.

ok that's it. tomorrow i'm gonna publish my longer piece on why the modern day Arab Palestinians are NOT the same as the Ancient Greek Philistines (who all died out around 604 BCE when the Babylonians sieged Jerusalem).
Edit: Click here to read the longer version, with links!
but the tl;dr version is this:
we know that the Philistines are Ancient Greeks based on DNA-testing that's been done on their skeletons, and based on their pottery and artifacts, which are Ancient Mycenaean Greek. (the Torah is consistent with this -- it records them as being from Crete, which at that time was under Mycenaean Greek control)
also, being Greeks, the Philistines were not indigenous to the Levant. they were interlopers. the native Israelites fought with the Philistines over and over. the story of David and Goliath is likely a cultural memory of this conflict.
in Hebrew, the Philistines are called Peleshet, and they are likely the same as the Peleset tribe -- one of the tribes of "Sea Peoples" who tried (and failed) to conquer Egypt at the end of the Bronze Age.
and like, duh. obviously the Arab Palestinians and the Greek Philistines are not the same people.
but there are some really bad actors (both in the conspiracy sense, and in the literal "drama" sense) on Tiktok who are trying to erase Jewish history by spreading conspiracy theories that somehow Philistines and Palestinians are "the same". (omg the people who believe this shit are so dumb!!)
they're doing it so they can claim that "Jesus was a Palestinian".
ugh, it gives me a headache even to write something as stupid as that.
no, ya dumb-dumbs. Jesus was a Judaean Jew. he was from Bethlehem. in Judaea.
you know, Judaea. the place where the Jews are from.
deep sigh.
and like, clearly these people have not read a Bible ... ever ... because being associated with the Philistines was NOT a good thing!! they were literally the worst!
the Philistines were Ancient Mycenaean Greeks from Crete.
and the Palestinians are modern day Arabs.
and there is zero connection between them.
the only "connection" is that after the Romans tried to murder all the Jews in the Levant, following the Jewish Bar Kochba revolt in 135 AD, the Romans renamed Judaea, and gave it the name "Syria-Palaestina". they did this to try to wipe the cultural memory of Jews "off the map". they literally went through the Torah, found the name of one of the Judaeans' historical enemies (the Philistines), and renamed the region using that name.
so by claiming that "Jesus was a Palestinian", not only are you calling him a Philistine (ew), you're also giving him the name that the ROMANS WHO CRUCIFIED HIM renamed Judaea after trying to murder LOTS OF OTHER JEWS.
G-d these people are so dumb!!!

One time a girl in my English class told everyone that "the U.S. constitution doesn't exist because there's no photographic evidence". We all tried to tell her that there's other forms of evidence, and she proceeded to say that all other forms of evidence are "faked by the U.S. government".
Definitely the weirdest interaction I've ever had.

The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance...

Batman: Let me get this right, you invaded the Justice League database so you could prove what?
Riddler: That you guys invented Atlantis and Aquaman is just a normal metahuman.
Batman: And how exactly did you convinced Poison Ivvy of being a distraction for this? The two of you are not in the best terms and I can't see she agreing with this plan.
Poison Ivvy: She is right here. And she also wanted to prove that Aquaman isn't real.
Batman: Look I really didn't want to bring the heavy violent interrogation tenicques. But there's no way I'm buying that excuse, so I'm giving you one last chance, why did you invade the Justice League database?
Poison Ivvy: You can torture us all you want Batman, we are talking the truth.
Riddler: Please don't torture us all you want, Batman. But yeah, we already told you the reason.
Batman: *grabing something from his utility belt* I warned you.
Riddler: Wait wait wait... Bill Nye doesn't believe in Aquaman.
Batman: What?
Riddler: Yes, Jon told us.
Batman: That makes no sense. How would Scarecrow even know that?
Poison Ivvy: His best friend told him.
Batman: Best Friend? Crane doesn't have friends... unless the Mad Hatter? Is he controlling you two?
Riddler: No, you moron, a girl called Velma Dinkley that he met in an Elvira parade or something, she personally knows Bill Nye.
Batman: That's just insane.
Riddler: And that's why I searched the internet for proof while Doctor Isley sended a fanmail to Bill himself asking about it.
Poison Ivvy: Nygma found a video from Nye's own security camera where he gives a very long explanation to a trick or treating kid about how Aquaman's existence is scientifically impossible and therefor he isn"t real. Not much after the response to my letter with the very same explanation came. I have it here with me. *even hurt and handcuffed to the Batmobile she makes a plant grow on the pavement and there is a letter inside it's leaves"
Riddler: And I have the video on my phone. I would show you, but I can't acess it while bounded upsidown with a broken rib!
Batman: I'll look it up. *thirty minutes later* I suppose you were right. I'll still have to take you to Arkham, but if I find any evidence of Aquaman not existing I'll send it to you.
Riddler: Oh, I thought Aquaman not being real was a ridiculous notion, detective?
Batman: That was before Bill Nye the science guy explained it. Now it is my duty to investigate Aquaman.
Poison Ivvy: Good. I hope you know Arkham won't keep us long. We will soon also be investigating it and it's better that we help each other, cause you won't want to go against me.
Riddler: Independent of your choice, we will find out the truth, Crussader, there's no puzzle I can't figure out. Also I want my phone back.
Poison Ivvy: And I want my letter. It's autographed!

I’m so obsessed with this Joe Biden fanart??? Like, he is gay and his boyfriend is the very muscular devil. He has an empty little thought bubble to show that he is stupid. There are classified documents behind him to reference the fact that he had a controversy related to classified documents recently. The balloon is there to reference that that was a thing that also happened recently. And the way he’s so delicately holding the soul of America? Lmao
(Side note: I reverse image searched this because I didn’t understand what all the details here meant(I admit I haven’t been keeping up much with the news, I’ve been busy), and found another Valentine’s Day-themed political cartoon by this same dude of Joe Biden giving America fake flowers and a box of chocolates labeled “policies” where the joke was, get this, the “chocolate” was shit. Funny stuff!)
4/10- I like it, but it vexes me.

Regarding Volo at the moment, but also in general with any hardcore villainized characters, I certainly get the sentiment behind wanting to not woobify antagonistic characters too much, but also like. I think for me, when the primary fandom take away is that a character is HARDCORE IRREDEEMABLE, NO GOOD QUALITIES IN THIS ONE!!! it’s almost like… an act of balancing out. Yes, I get Bad Man did Bad Things, I’m a person with a brain, but when it seems like EVERYONE is talking about how the Bad Man did Bad Things and needs to be, generally, physically harmed for the Bad He Did, it just feels like an act of balance to say,
“Okay but why don’t we explore this line where he said he’s experienced trauma before? And how he instantly backs away from talking about it under the explanation he gave himself that everyone must experience trauma to that degree?”
Or, “Hey, the guy has three friendship evolution Pokémon, two of which notably will leave their trainers if they don’t like them. Why do people extrapolate from that that he must be an abusive trainer?”
Or, gods fucking forbid, “Hey. Why is this character, who’s notably got indigenous roots to the setting, constantly being made the villain in angsty stories for the two white twins?”
Idk man, again I get not wanting to woobify too much, not wanting to strip a complex character of their complexity and the like, but if your takeaway is that any sympathetic or nuanced takes on a heavily villainized character is “woobifying,” like… idk, touch grass as the kids say. Who’s going to stop me, the Anti-Wooby Police?
#my dumb textposts#AGAIN THOSE OF YALL WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR MY FNV SHIT - YALL SAW ME DO THIS WITH VOOPS QNSBDKSBSKSNDM#I REMAIN UNCHANGED IN THE FACE OF BAD FAITH TEXTUAL READINGS WHBDJDBD#and I do think there’s a difference between. All That Bullshit and good faith criticisms#saw someone bring up that volo’s weird ass Greek coding is probably because there’s a LITERAL conspiracy theory that the Greeks-#-came to japan first based on the architecture of a building or something. like#WHAT. that’s wild. THAT I would argue is a good faith criticism. to me that just motivates me to make his story and the story of the clans-#-even more aligned with the Ainu of Hokkaido to counteract THAT bullshit. but I can see how different folks would feel differently on that#to me if Canon Bad I can Fix It. but sometimes people don’t wanna touch on bad canon and I think that’s okay too#but like. any reading where he’s this irredeemable conniving emotionless asshole is just. huh. where’d you get that from#cus we certainly didn’t play the same game and honestly?

Don’t Question This
Okay so because of a certain someone… I had to relive my memories of when I was sick, and told my friends about a stupid theory. The almond conspiracy theory, in which it created the universe
Little Warning: Basically no knowledge of Bible or Church because this theory was made for fun. If you want to correct me, go ahead, but don’t start a literal fight.
Tumblr media
So here we have an annoyed Volo, holding a bag of almonds. If you didn’t figure it out already, @torens-nightshift is the culprit behind this.
As if this isn’t embarrassing enough to post, I have provided two screenshots of our chaotic conversation:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I actually have to explain this. Holy Arceus forgive me for my almond sins. Keep in mind I don’t even go to church that often so basic information just flies out of my brain. It explains the stupidity of my logic with the dove.
The almond conspiracy theory is the theory in which an almond or almonds created the universe. In this explanation, I will provide a few example from my past sick brain.
Almonds are alive. They’ve brainwashed us into always putting them into bags. Perhaps they even have little meetings in them, plotting what chaos else to ensue upon us humans.
Almonds are like us, but (I can hear you screaming at me Toren since yesterday I said the opposite) have no genders nor names. They don’t need an identity, they know who they are. And who they are? We’ll figure it out soon enough.
We always pray to a godly being, but could that being really be human (this debunks my theory but of course stupid brain logic)? Could it be something that is not human, just another life in this world?
The almond could be in another form of a godly being like Greek Gods too, like a shapeshifter but uh… yeah. Like a regional form.
The dove symbolizes hope of the almonds, and the spirit is uhm okay shit I didn’t think of this through, it’s the pact which keeps the almonds sealed in a bag!
KEEP IN MIND, I have absolutely LITTLE to NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE OR CHURCH. So if anything is wrong on here, it’s because I’m putting the words from a few months ago of my not right state of mind sick brain.
