alright we doing crazy predictions for 911 tonight??
here we fucking go:
tim nash isnt going to be bobby's brother, he's going to be bobby's dad in a flashback
hear me out-
john brotherton, who's listed as playing "tim nash" on the imdb page for step nine, is 15 years younger than peter krause. now, it could be that bobby just has a much younger brother. BUT, i think with that age (44) being peak Dad Age, it makes a whole lot more sense to me that its flashback!dad than brothers
the synopsis for 7x08 says that "bobby delves deep into memories of his childhood, unearthing moments from his fractured past" and like...if we're going to see memories of his childhood, again a 44 year-old playing "tim nash" makes a lot more sense for a dad!!
we've heard a bit about bobby being a third generation firefighter, and its something that he's very proud of. i think it would be really interesting not only to see his dad as a firefighter, but see that hero worship from bobby towards his dad, and his early love for the work and for saving people...especially in the context of dealing with the trauma of the apartment fire.
if bobby has always wanted to be a firefighter, watched his dad saving lives and heard stories of his grandfather doing the same, what would his young self think of the man who caused so much grief and pain, of the man that amir thinks he is, of the man who cost 148 lives?
maybe, just maybe, "step nine" isn't just making amends with amir, but making amends with his past self, the one who just wanted to help people, who he feels like he betrayed??
because i would LOVE to see that kind of angst - the reconciliation between the man bobby dreamed he would be and the man he is now.
and like....thats not even approaching the question of bobby's "fractured past" that the synopsis talks about, which i have...so many questions about
we know basically nothing about his family - what if bobby's dad also struggled with addiction? or had something happen at work that also cost lives, and young bobby was never able to forgive him for that? maybe bobby sees the anger amir holds towards him, and realizes that he still holds something like that towards his own father?
bobby has talked about a brother before, but i think the only time that he's mentioned it was in a story about playing "lawn darts when they were kids". maybe something happened to his brother, and he's held his father responsible for all these years? in the same way amir holds bobby responsible?
i have!! no idea!!!
i dont exactly know what they're going to throw at us (shakes fist at tim affectionately), but i think that with where this season has been going - focusing on the cornerstones of our main characters, of the things that run the deepest and are haunting the narrative (eddie's catholic guilt, buck's bisexuality, chim's journey and love for his family, doug, kevin, shannon) - it would make sense for us to take a look into bobby's childhood, something we basically no nothing about.
and with that, i truly think that "tim nash" as bobby's dad makes a lot more sense than it being his brother, and that's who we're going to see in flashbacks tonight.
but, whatever happens, i cannot WAIT to see where the angst train takes us! ✨
(bonus, since im thinking about that sweet bobby angst: do you ever think about whether bobby feels a deep sense of failure and guilt that, because of him, there will never be a 4th generation firefighter in his family? do you think the first time bobby told his dad he wanted to be a firefighter when he was a kid, his dad looked both so proud but also so worried? and when asked about it his dad just said "you'll understand when your kid says the same to you"? and that bobby realizes he will never understand because he took that chance away from them?
...cause yeah, i think about that sometimes)
#hooooo boy this is not where i expected my thoughts on this to go#but once the brain thoughts set in i couldnt stop thinking about it#bobby angst!!!#bobby CHILDHOOD angst!!!!#i just would love to see bobby eventually be able to de-escalate amir's anger with forgiveness and understanding#especially if its a forgiveness and understanding he's finally able to find within *himself*#....after amir burns down buck's loft of course#ANYWAYS#thinking lots of thoughts!! cant wait for the PAIN!!!!#bobby nash#amir 911#tim nash#7x08 spec#911 spec#911 spoilers#911 on abc#911 abc#em speaks#em corkboards

Mams been asking abt repainting my bedroom walls for a while and yknow I think I actually would like that
#^ realised that once he takes all the posters down from his apartments corkboard#he'll have to find a place in his room to hang em up#which would require rearranging all the drawings on the wall anyway#so might as well repaint while we're there#rlly i should go for a plain bright colour bcos it is a bit tiny and could do w seeming larger#but the siren call of dark walls + single brightly wallpapered feature wall is beckoning me#but also my bedroom walls r laid out weird so idk which wall would work as a feature wall#shrug. idk. we'll see#was on woodies looking at wallpaper and i got immediately distracted by fake stained glass. i want that but wallpapwr

There's something weirdly admirable about FNAF fans still trying to make sense of the lore despite the fact that Scott Cawthon is kind of a hack that has been caught bouncing around on the relevance of given shit and even admitted (maybe tacitly but I honestly don't know what else he could mean) that he changed bits of his story to frustrate Game Theorists.
#untainted thoughts(ooc)#it's a hobby at the end of the day ig so more power to em but#Man is watching the strings connect on the corkboard just funny knowing this

Branding your art is so hard idk what my aesthetic even is
Like is it hot guys??? Idk it’s not a big serious thing for me but having little business cards that are just as nice as prints/merch seems rly fun to do esp as a networking/marketing thing to pop into merch packages as a thank you
#basically i received an absolutely gorgeous card from a merchant once and i havent stopped thinking about it#I’ve displayed it along with my other merch on the corkboard bc its stunning#i never throw these away if i get em but this one is so pretty i had to display#i wanna do the same 🥺🥺🥺#but i feel like it has to be original art?? otherwise imma end up giving yall portgas d ace business cards 😂

hello. wtf is locked tomb and can you tell me all about it
the locked tomb series is a four part scifi/tragedy trilogy featuring necromancy! its a little hard to quantify because summarizing it depends ENTIRELY on the target audience but it does have broad and expansive themes on love and death and grief and most importantly, the horrors of love.
my bestie quinn summarized it quite nicely over here
if you like romance: the books explore different types of romance and how they will destroy and consume you in different ways. also theres lesbians if that helps
if you like tragedy: i have cried at the end of all three books. it is about how easily you can be consumed by your passions and obsessions
if you like worldbuilding: personally i think the difference between exhaustive worldbuilding and good worldbuilding is that they have the same amount of detail, but good worldbuilding is expressed through the eyes of the characters and not elaborated upon in the narrative. tlt does the latter: its a very fantastic universe that seems almost too confusing to behold at first but the bits and pieces the characters integrate into their dialogue say so much
if you like puzzles: this series made me make a fucking discord channel + use up multiple sticky notes to piece together the plot and stories happening throughout the books. im currently rereading the series in an attempt to make a wikipedia on all the characters from scratch
if you dont like puzzles: im on the dumber side of theory-solving but even if youre lost if you have patience the book does a great job of explaining it all in the end. im very serious. if you have questions they Will be answered you will not be left behind. all the extra background corkboard shit is optional for freaks that want more
if you like humor: i have never giggled so often
if you like milfs / insane older women: theres at LEAST three. get at em boys

Out of curiosity (and of course please do not feel like you have to answer this)
How do you keep your story organized?
I use Miro Board to help me lay down my plot and timelines, but I’m always curious what other tools writers use to outline, organize and such for their writing.
Id love to also just create a post and have writers and artists add to it over time as a source of knowledge and help….but I’m not sure how to start it honestly.
i love this questions and for me it's SCRIVENER, baby, SCRIVENER
i'm using OCCULT PIECE as an example because it's a massive project and Scrivener absolutely helped me bring it to life (it finally corralled my brain into something manageable LMAO)
not sure how familiar you are with this software, but it combines a word processor with a file organization system so i can flip between documents within a work super quickly...keeps all my notes, drafts, and other docs at my fingertips
the column on the left shows the docs and folders i've set up to keep this massive AU project organized...i have folders for each story, with subfolders that have notes and chapters for each work, and then i have separate folders for worldbuilding notes, character notes, connections between stories, and similar...i expanded a bunch of the folders so you can see what's in 'em if you want a closer look
Scrivener also has a corkboard view so you can see your story elements all laid out, and you can move them around as you see fit, which makes rearranging scenes (should you choose to put separate scenes into their own text docs) very easy
i like this software for its utility but also because you pay for it once and then can transfer the license to different computers when/if you change to a new one, and you can get it pretty cheap using discount codes that come up pretty frequently (usually they're a NaNoWriMo prize)
i have never used Miro and IDK how it compares! will have to check it out and seeeeee
as for the post people can add to, do you mean like a Tumblr post with reblogs, or like a shareable document people can circulate and add to at will? would this be for a large collaborative story or universe or just general information? sounds cool either way! love it when a community comes together...

Halp! I want my bedroom to have like a 2010s theme! I think maybe 2012-2014ish. What are some basics, symbols and themes? All my brain can think of is the keep calm and carry on posters ...
So after going through my "dear christ someone wants to decorate their room in the way I, and other people my age, did back in the day. I'm old. Oh god," moment, I have some ideas. Now, the best thing you could do is just think about everything you like, and put it on your wall: print out pictures of artists you like, cut outs from magazines, vinyl covers, doodles, notes, paper chains, pictures of friends is a must for the classic 2010s teen girl room. Also, a corkboard is always a good idea. Just build a collage of things. (People really liked word collages made of magazines as well (ex:below))
I'd also get fairy lights and put them literally everywhere. Wrap them around your bedframe, hang them up, put em on your desk, the possibilities are limitless.
Organize your bookshelf by color, and match your figurines and other little things to their specific color section.
If you have to have symbols associated with the 2010s, go with mustaches. They're the go-to. For colors I'd go with jewel tones, specifically turquoise, or neons. One popular color combination was aqua, light purple, and neon green; my room was like that when I was like 13/14.

(like behind gladion is a steven stone plushie nfmshd) OH AND I HAD MY GLADION AND MIKO PLUSHIE MADE !! i just drew it and then gave the designs to a manufacturer :3 my next goal is to make another two but with their alt outfits this time :D
also on the top shelf, other than the action figures and plushies, are artbooks! for original sun/moon, usum, scarlet/violet, and it's hard to see but artbooks for the great ace attorney/dai gyakuten saiban as well !! also the gladion acrylic standee blends in well with wano zoro jfkdhjd omg do yall think gladion could do a closet cosplay of zoro (miko got him to do it <3)
also im not rlly big on pop funkos, theyre just gifts <3
AND TWO BINDERS OF POKEMON CARDS... i dont play i just collect them bc i like pretty art
SO UM. SECOND SHELF. one shelf dedicated to zolu, asl, and ace and sabo :3 behind the zolu figures are tiny plushies of them and rubber straps but well, its hard to see em </3

tbh, the sealed gladion acrylic standee is like my most prized treasure... not that i dropped hundreds on it but i got it for a lot cheaper compared to the other sealed ones online :'D + his postcards too are one of my most prized possessions... i wonder who my favorite pokemon character is
honestly idk what to fill the empty space in with but i wanna balance out this corkboard with pkmn and OP so maybe i'll try to hunt for more pkmn stuff
this is all i'll share for now but the next post will show my two ita bags that i have :0 !!! and my comically large arcanine plushie that i named ace 😁🫶

Hellooo, I had a funny thought.
You ever seen Ratatouille?
You know that one chef that's been to prison, but everytime they ask for what he changes his story into a crazy bizarre thing, never keeping his story straight.
Ok that, but with s/o and the tf2 mercs.
The mercs found out that their s/o has been to prison and they're all like "Oh what for?"
And s/o just responds with some crazy story, and everytime someone asks, they change it into something even crazier.
"I stole nuclear bombs from area 51"
"I trained an army of squirrels to steal every single nut based product in 7 different states"
"I killed 20,573,341 genetically mutated zombie rats and used their corpses to poison the drinking water in the rich areas of the entirety of the U.S"
Clearly, I have too much of an imagination :)
Bro that's perfect also I love Ratatouille (the food and the movie)
Mercs with s/o who has been to prison but they never tell the same story
Scout
OK hear me out
He'll act like he wants the real story and keep asking you why BUT
He's really just writing down all your reasons because they're genius and he's gonna use em later
I think it's a funny concept and so something he would do
Soldier
You cannot tell me this man hasn't done something like this before
Yet for some reason he's determined to find the real reason you went to prison
He tries to bribe Mrs. Pauling but she's not having it
He won't admit how creative your reasons are
Demoman
His favorite activity is listening to the different reasons you provide for your arrest
He finds it funny and he always wonders how you come up with so many different reasons
He doesn't really mind that he doesn't know the real reason he likes listening to the random ones you have
Pyro
They take all your reasons as fact and just assume you got arrested for all of the reasons
Which makes for an interesting conversation where Pyro says you've been to prison and when the other person asks what for Pyro responds "Everything"
Honestly don't worry about correcting them it's hilarious
Heavy
He'll basically update your reasons you got arrested with your new reason every day
He'll ask in the morning why you got arrested and then just use that as the reason for that day
He doesn't really care why you got arrested but he wants a reason in case anyone asks him
Medic
He acts like it's a secret and has all your reasons on a corkboard with red string like a psychopath trying to solve a cold case
He always listens intently to all yours reasons and will later add them to his board
It's concerning but he might be in too deep at this point
Sniper
He stops asking after the first 7 reasons you provide
If anyone asks him why you went to jail he'll just shrug and walk off
Whenever he hears you telling anyone else a strange reasons he'll chuckle to himself tho
Spy
Honestly it you actually did any of the reasons you provided he's impressed
They're all so creative and strange and if you actually pulled them off you've doubled his respect
If you do ever actually tell him the truth though he'll never breath a word of it to anyone
#tf2 x reader#tf2 medic x reader#tf2 scout x reader#tf2 sniper x reader#tf2 demoman x reader#tf2 heavy x reader#tf2 soldier x reader#tf2 spy x reader#tf2 pyro x reader

The Gator boys & the Moon Witch~ Ch 1
It had been a fairly quiet week for Esther, or Sybil now. How long had she been going by that name? A few years at least, since she had gotten away from that awful Rexite priest… but she’d rather not remember. The whole traveling cabaret act treated her well. As well as it could at least, considering the nature of showbiz. Common sense told her she should probably be finding a place to settle down by now but she enjoyed floating from place to place. (Even when she didn’t need to) It’s not like this was her only source of income though. She was a witch after all, so it wasn’t difficult to make money on the side selling glamor potions or ready-made spell scrolls.
She slowed her broom as she took in the scenery around her. Cypress trees, cat tails, the smell of autumn in the air, it had been a while since she had traveled along the countryside. She halted her broom to read the wooden sign that marked her destination. “Welcome to Lilloway, Home of the Silverben Swamps” “Huh Quaint little place..” she muttered to herself. She decided to finish her journey on foot. Bella had woken from her nap and was getting ancy in her basket, besides after flying all day a walk would do Esther some good. It was surprising that such a small town like this would even have a nightclub, even more so that they invited her to perform. “Must be pretty short on entertainment if they invited a few old washups like us huh Belle?” The small dog gave an enthusiastic yip in response.
Not that she was complaining, a town like Lilloway was a pleasant change of pace from Akahn, with all its hustle and bustle. Something her college self would’ve loved, with all its trade and new-fangled gadgets. Oh goodness it had to be fifteen years now she was out of school. The woman leashed up her little friend and the two set into town. The once peaceful countryside soon melted into the stirrings of a village. As they approached the village square a corkboard with a plethora of fliers caught her eye. Thinking there might be a map among them Esther approached, Bella in tow. Hmmm Fall festival, Gabby’s Glamour spells, (Got enough of those as is) Oh! A freshly posted flier caught her eye. “Madam Sybil Dupree The Songbird of the South Performing at the Silverben Saloon!”. “Hmmm Guess we ain’t so washed up after all ey Belle?” Esther smiled leaning down to pet the black cavalier as it yipped excitedly. When suddenly Esther's attention was drawn to a set of large black boots that were approaching her.
“Howdy Ma’am.” Spoke the owner of the boots, in a deep husky voice. Esther stood up taking Bella with her as she faced the man. He was a tall muscular fellow with copper hair & beard. His arms marred with scars from what had to be his previous tussles. That and his serious demeanor told Esther this man wasn’t to be trifled with, nevertheless she had been brought up to give everyone a fair chance regardless. It’s what Earl would’ve done. “Well Hello there.” Esther responded warmly, Bella snugly in her arms. “Names Warren.” The burly man introduced, offering his hand as a sign of good will. Esther returned the gesture noting the rugged texture of his hand. A working man. “And you must be the famous Madam Dupree, if my eyes don’t deceive me.” Warren remarked, offering a kind smile while giving Bella a gentle pat on the head. “I don’t know if I’d call it that exactly!” Esther laughed, setting Bella down once more. “No need to be so humble! You’re all the town’s been talking about lately, well’sides them swap freaks runnin amuck.” The man remarked, ripping a bounty flier off the board.
Esther’s eyes were drawn to the flier, it depicted a terrible alligator-like beast with a hefty bounty listed at the bottom. Her chestnut eyes flicked from the flier to Warren, who had picked up on her curiosity. “Them beasts nothin ta worry bout Ma’am. Just a couple a wild half bloods runnin down the property value. Me an my men will have ‘em taken care of soon enough.” The man added in a vague attempt to “comfort” the women next to him. In truth Esther felt bad for those poor souls. Sure they looked a little different, acted a little different, but they didn’t ask to be that way. In the end they were just people trying to live their lives. Why should they be treated so horribly? “ So you’re a bounty hunter then?” Esther added dryly. If Warren was the kind of man to hunt down innocent people for sport then she wanted no part of him, but she had to be subtle about it. If word got around that she was some halfblood-sympathizing radical, she’d be run outta town faster than the half bloods themselves. “Looks like Warren caught a live one!” Shouted a woman from across the way.
She and another young fellow approached. Friends of Warren couldn’t be good company. Best to keep subtle for now though. “Aw hush up Andy. I was just greeting this lovely young lady to our town. It ain’t too often we get celebrities down here.” At this the younger blonde headed man perched up. “You’re Madam Dupree then! The one that’s ’s singing at the saloon?” The lad piped up. “Of course you would know Vernon! There’s hardly an’evenin you don’t spend at the saloon!” At this the two began to bicker before a calm yet stern hand gesture from Warren signaled the two to stop. “If you children are done I do believe Madam Dupree here needs some direction to the Inn.” Warren implored looking at Esther with a knowing glint in his emerald eyes. “Oh! Yes actually.” She responded “Then I reckon we should show you the way so you can get all settled an’ready for the show tonight!” Warren offered, the warm smile returning. “I’d like that.” And with that they were off to the Inn, little Bella in tow wagging her tail all the way.

hey i'm that dumbass who said ur art reminded me of cow snd chicken again!! i've been reading your theories about the biology of the orbulon species (which i absolutely adore btw, as a massive fan of speculative biology and just biology in general lmao) and that made me curious, what do you think his anatomys like? by that i refer to organs n stuff, like do you think he has internal systems to perform life functions somewhat like how humans do? and how'd they work if he does have em? apologies if i worded this in a convoluted manner im just Very Interested
LOLLLL if i could frame the cow and chicken comparison i would have. Anyways thank you! I am very happy you enjoy my insane orbiology raving. Speculating upon orbulon's biology is the funnest thing ever because nobody who writes official orbulon lore gives a shit about that. they're just like yeah he likes frozen french fries and he doesn't poop. He can teleport and he has 300iq. And then schmucks like me run around in circles trying to fit all of those random incongruous statements into a coherent creature. It's great
I have thought about orbulorgans before but i have not made a orbulon xray because there is some soul searching i have to do. Here are the pins on my ever-expanding corkboard
Some important things to note throughout are that orbulon does not 1) shit 2) fuck. The latter is no big deal but the first one is a big ole spanner in the works because most things indeed shit. If he did i could just contort the innards of a squid into his body shape but he doesn't. In addition to cephalopods i also lean on jellyfish a lot wrt his life cycle, which is great because jellyfish also don't poop. Unfortunately both ways they do expel waste is not that great. Warioware has a lot of grossout humor but at what point do we fly too close to the sun? At what point do we fall? (Some people like the theory that his digestive system just obliterates whatever enters it, thus removing the need for waste altogether. This is a simple and neat solution but i am neither of those things and so this question continues to keep me up at night.)
Orbulon's brain situation was swiftly addressed in move it where it is revealed that it looks like this: 🧠. Simple enough. This is another example of warioware devs putting the appropriate amount of thought into their cartoon wario alien and me not doing that because prior to them giving him a regular degular brain emoji a top question on my mind was "does orbulon have a decentralized nervous system?" I guess if i wanted to i could argue that they only showed us ONE of his brains so we don't know what's going on in the rest of him but the way he behaves doesn't necessarily imply anything of the sort. I'm just being silly.
The age old question: "Do you think orbulon has an open circulatory system or closed"!!!! This is the question all warioware fans have asked themselves. For a creature as brainy as he, you would think it would be closed, to better direct the flow of "blood" (or his equivalent) to his highly demanding brain(s). I'm hesitant to dwell on the question of whether he even needs oxygen or some other element for this because unfortunately everyone in this cast has casually been out there in space so. Cartoon physics wins this time.
Sorry if this answer is disappointing because it does kind of amount to "i don't know". But i do think. If i do make a orbulon cross-section it will probabaly be a lot funnier than this just to keep up the tradition of funny cross-sections in wario games because I do like the mystery and the anarchy of it all. He's deranged. He says something offhand about his third appendix and the crygors lose their minds
#not art#oh yeah also something else that lives in my head is that i think he can regenerate limbs so that's another fun thing. That can happen

supernatural s13e23 let the good times roll (w. andrew dabb)
well, carry on my wayward son has lost pretty all of its emotional punch that it once had for me back in the early seasons.
the moment we see sam in front of the corkboard and "the ice caps are melting" i felt like i was going to combust. what is this nonsense. our-earth 101 catching them up to speed even though we're just here to regroup and arm up before a showdown with michael? and how long was the apocalypse apocalypsing over there? longer than it would have without the boys to stop it in 2010 or whatever? mortifying. i fast forwarded. i don't need the spn cliffs notes on awful things here too
you want to hear some nonsense? i was sort of looking forward to yesterday's episode. i don't know why. well, it disabused me of that notion right quick.
why are we on some rando werewolf hunt
man mary is beautiful. and sure, she and bobby get umbrellas
MARY
So what are you gonna do now?
BOBBY
Honestly, I got no clue. Everyone seems to be settling in okay in town. Ketch is out doing Ketch things. Rowena and Charlie are road tripping it through the Southwest.
i get that it's for production reasons they're not gonna have the whole cast around but hokay.
BOBBY
Anyways...without an archangel, it's not like we can go back home. And I'm not sure I'd want to.
all right then. obviously, shit's gonna happen with lucifer and michael though right. don't have a lot of episodes left (lol) and i know michael gets all up in there at some point
DEAN
Hey, you remember...remember when you asked if we could stop it? All the evil in the world?
SAM
Yeah.
DEAN
If we could...really change things? Well, maybe with Jack, we can.
SAM
Maybe you're right. But then what will we do?
DEAN
Mm. Yeah. This. (Dean holds a beer he has been carrying and Sam looks down at his) A whole lot of this. But on a beach somewhere, you know? Can you imagine? You, me, Cass, toes in the sand, couple of them little umbrella drinks. Matching Hawaiian shirts, obviously. Some hula girls.
SAM (scoffing)
You talking about retiring? You?
DEAN
If I knew the world was safe? Hell, yeah. And you know why? 'Cause we freaking earned it, man.
SAM (holding up his beer)
I'll drink to that.
DEAN
Yeah. Hell, yeah.
being optimistic is surely a sign for everything to turn to absolute shit. is cas gonna wear the trench over the hawaiian shirt? he's awfully commited to that look
tired of myself talking about this show.
DEAN
Jack? Hey.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy. You're just having a bad dream.
JACK
Sorry.
DEAN
It's okay. You don't have to apologize. I have 'em, too. All the time.
JACK
You do?
DEAN
Sure.
JACK
You, um... What do you see?
DEAN
Well, depends. Mostly... mostly people I couldn't save.
thanks for saying that i guess, pretty sure he's only gonna talk to someone that's zoned as a kid about it. but without specifics of course
DEAN
Jack... it's not about being strong. I mean...Look, I don't know what you saw over there, and I don't know what you went through.
I know it was bad. But I also know that you came out the other side because you are strong. But even when we're strong, man, things are gonna happen. We're gonna make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. Right? But we can get better. Every day, we can get better. So whatever you're dealing with, you know, whatever...whatever comes at us, we'll figure out a way to deal with it, together. You're family, kid, and we look after our own.
needed some Quality Dad Bonding time between jack and dean, i guess now that he's not convinced he's gonna go evil and blow up the world. also always slightly amused that jack's actor, alexander calvert, is 27 at this point
didn't take long for lucifer to show up
jack flitting off to basically kill this guy with no proof of wrongdoing, like. it's such a weird character because he's an adult, i think in world he's supposed be i dunno, late teens? and he's got a very childlike view of events. it's like infantilizing except that he is basically a baby with extremely limited life experince so?? i dunno. doesn't really work for me on the regular
in a way i wish pellegrino had a different role so i could like the character he's playing. i want to believe this thing with jack because he's just so good at being sincere and horrible. like, some fucking random play at getting jack on his side is making me cry??? because the idea of starting over and him actually leaving everyone alone is just so... i wish.
MARY
Sam, even if we find Lucifer, how we gonna stop him?
did they lose their archangel blade over in au world?
MAGGIE
Does it matter? Kinda seems like you have bigger, you know, Satan-y problems.
SAM
Yeah, but -- but we're -- we're dealing with those. Mostly.
the little muttered "mostly" did get a chuckle out of me
CASTIEL
Yeah, angel radio is nothing but static, which is disturbing.
i mean there's only what, 9 angels left anyway lol
laughing at this ridiculous slow float downstairs while they shoot at him, knowing nothing is going to do anything
well. that big reveal of lucifer is actually evil to jack thing, well played by pellegrino as i'd expect. did not expect him flashing out of there with jack and sammy in tow.
DEAN
No. What if...what if you had your sword?
well. i wondered what on earth could get dean to say yes.
LUCIFER
Wow, Daddy Sammy coming to the rescue. But your little Jackie, the nougat-loving boy that you had before, he's killed people.
He's got lots of blood on his hands.
SAM (standing)
I don't care. He's family.
i mean, so has sam and the rest of their family so?? not exactly a convincing argument :p
DEAN (to Castiel)
Lucifer has Sam. He has Jack. Cass, I don't have a choice!
DEAN (To Michael)
If we do this, it's a one-time deal.
I'm in charge. You're the engine, but I'm behind the wheel.
Understand?
i'm sure that'll work out fine
mmmk.
convenient that michael and lucifer brought the archangel blades with them so we can have a little showdown
lol reminds me of the matrix training with morpheus fight but cheesier. and we're just gonna have a fist fight in the air. oy
are they actually committing to killing lucifer? his character was more than done but sad to see pellegrino leave, but glad that plotline is over finally
SAM
You did it.
DEAN
No. No, we did it. We did it.
and dean immediately hunches over in pain and it's like s8e23 all over again
and now michael has his special sword vessel and he broke the deal and they can't go killing him while he's wearing dean, right. wonder how long that's gonna drag on in the next season. i haven't seen a lot of gifs of michael!dean so lol i figure it can't be that long??

Helping Out (ft. Penny and Minka)
MinkaMakingherMark: can you come over to my place? with your camera. i need your help for smth!!!
-
Not too long after Penny pressed the doorbell, the door swung open, revealing a very excited Minka.
"Penny? Penny! PENNY!" Minka practically jumped at her friend. Penny stumbled back, almost falling. She's glad all that ribbon dancing helped out with her balance.
"Minka! It's good to see you too!" Penny laughed, hearing Minka's squealing in her ear.
"You actually came! YOU ACTUALLY CAME!! I was worried for a moment you were just ignoring me or something when you weren't answering that text! Hmph, how dare you?" Minka playfully crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue. Penny laughed.
"My apartment is literally one floor away from yours. I didn't think I'd have to text you a response if I could arrive in such a short time."
"Well, it still would be nice to know! Responses are reassuring."
"Is that why your text conversations with people last so long?"
"Eeeeeeeyeaaaaaaaah…"
"Aww, okay! Next time, I'll be sure of that."
"Thanks, Penns!"
“No problem! Anyway, I have my camera. Pictures and all. You said you wanted me here with it?"
"Oh, yeah, that! Come on, I'm working on a little something."
-
"What's this, Minka? It looks like a spider's web."
Penny and Minka found themselves in Minka's studio, staring at a blank corkboard. It was like those scenes in crime movies where a character is at a corkboard, and pinned to it was evidence and documents, a red string to connect it all. Except there was no evidence and documents, and the string was clear rather than red. And it even exceeded the barriers of the corkboard- little nails that stuck out of the wall had the string hooked, forming a chaotic zig-zaggy pattern.
"Oh, that's just nylon! I'm planning to use all these little clothespins to hang pictures by the string!"
"Pictures?"
"That scratch-off map you showed us a few days ago inspired me! I wanna dedicate this corkboard to well.. us. All of us. Featuring pictures of our wacky little adventures in many different places."
"I… I inspired you?" Penny’s eyes sparkled.
"Yes! So, what do you think of the idea?"
"I love it! How can I help out? If I can."
"That's why you and your camera are here, isn't it? I just realized… I don't take a lot of pictures when I travel! My phone storage would be bursting if I did, and I need somewhere easy and convenient to keep all my art ideas. But then I remembered that you're always taking pictures whenever we travel somewhere! With the camera you always bring around! I have my printer and laptop over here. We can connect your camera to it, get the photos, and print 'em out!"
"Oh, I see!"
-
"That's a lot of photos…" Minka scrolled through the thumbnails of files obtained from the camera.
"Most of them are just multiple takes, really. They're all very similar. So just pick any!" Penny looked over Minka's shoulder.
"Hmm, I dunno… Like, take a look at these. Here, Vinnie is blinking. And here's a better one where everyone actually has their eyes open. But then the thing is, in the first one where Vinnie is blinking, there's a flock of birds in the background! Which looks really good. And by the time everyone actually has open eyes, the birds have flown away.
"Don't you have some experience in photo editing? Maybe you could edit the birds into the everyone's-eyes-are-open picture."
"Oh yeahhh, why didn't I think of that?"
-
After sifting through all of those pictures, Minka finally decided on the good ones and prepared them for printing.
Printing took a little while, but it did eventually finish. The pictures came out bright and colorful.
"Alright, so you'll notice I left some space at the bottom of each picture, right?" Minka pointed.
"Right." Penny nodded.
"And here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna cut out the pictures, but leave just a bit of white at the borders- and a lot more white at the bottom- so they can look like polaroids! How about that?
"Sounds good!"
Minka took out two pairs of scissors from her front pocket, snipping them.
"Then let's cut these out!"
Both of them took their seats on the floor, scissors in one hand, printed pictures in the other.
-
"Aghhh, my back hurts…" Minka groaned as she let herself topple backwards to the floor.
"Oh my… And my hands hurt," Penny finally put down the scissors. She noticed the red marks on her skin from holding them a bit too tightly… "I guess doing things for too long does stuff to you…"
"Tell that to me next time I accidentally end up spending 5 hours on art without water breaks. Or breaks at all."
"I don't think that's good for you, Minka."
"I'm aware."
Penny was a little concerned, but decided not to press it further. Instead, she held up a picture to show Minka.
"But uh… look! We got all these nice photos! All our hard work has paid off, and now we have these! Faux polaroids, if you will! Faux polaroids? Hmm… yeah."
"Yep. Nice. We'll clip them to the string later.
"Okay… Let me clean up for us, then."
"Ohhh man. I love you so much, Penny."
"I love you too, Minka."
Penny gathered up all the pictures, straightening them into a neat and clean pile. She also picked up the little scraps and excess paper they cut off from the images.
Penny got up and placed the pictures on the nearby desk. She started making her way to the little bin in the corner of the room, the scraps in hand…
"WAIT! DON'T THROW THOSE!" Minka jolted upwards again, waving her hands in a panic.
Penny turned back to her friend, "…Huh?"
"I wanna do a paper mache thing after this! I'd rather much use old scraps than ruin perfectly good paper, y'know?"
"Oh, uh, okay then! Makes sense."
"You can just put them in that box over there. That's where I keep all my scrap papers. Ahem, uh, anyway. Let's put those pictures up!"
-
"I've always wanted to go to France. Man, Zoe is so lucky! She goes there every other week!" Minka sighed as she let the clothespin pinch the image of Zoe and Blythe at the Eiffel tower.
Penny, standing at the bottom of the chair Minka was standing on, pressed another clothespin into Minka's waiting hand, "Well, there's a difference with lifestyle and all. Her parents are rich, she's rich, she has financial security and… well, money. What do you expect?"
"Yeah, yeah. Which is why she's so lucky! The jealousy creeps in quite easily, I must say."
"I can understand that. But don't let it bother you too much."
"I guess I can try… Ope, I'm out of pictures. Hand me more, please!"
Penny did as Minka asked.
"Thanks," Minka examined the first picture at the top of the stack, "Ooh, that's me and Russell in Rio de Janeiro!"
-
"Thanks so much, Penny?"
"Hm?"
"For everything… this looks wonderful so far!"
Penny and Minka stood a few feet away from the wall, admiring their work. Many pictures were already hanging by the nylon string. Other pictures were stuck to the corkboard.
Penny, however, noticed something…
"There's still plenty of empty spaces Minka. What are your plans for those?"
"Oh. Well, tomorrow, I could decorate more of the wall with stickers and little drawings! It'd really add more to the vibe. And maybe even fairy lights? Those look really popular and aesthetic, I'll have to try that at some point! Also, whenever we go on more adventures with more pictures, I can add them here too!"
"More adventures? I think I'd like that! Though, you gotta promise me one thing…"
"…Huh?"
"Next time, take your breaks! I don't want you overworking yourself."
"Really? Oh, uh, sorry about that. It's just, I get so focused and excited! It really is just- all attention on current task, no stopping until it's done or I can't do it anymore."
"Hmm… would me sending you reminder texts help? Like 'Hey, be sure to drink your water!' or 'It's been a couple hours, how about you stop for a bit and rest?'"
"Would really appreciate it. Thanks, Penny."
