The Road So Far: Season 6
Holy smokes. What a ride.
If you're new, this is my recap/reflection on season 6 of Supernatural. You can find all of my previous commentary under the "ashla chick flick moments" tag (or block it, if you so wish. I don't mind.)
Well. Where do I even start? The beginning, I guess.
Dean got out. That's... so monumental. Obviously, it didn't last, but I truly believe that if the Winchesters were less famous then he could have made it. I understand why people don't like Lisa, but I can still see them being good together, and I think that he really did love her, and he absolutely loved Ben like his own. Speaking of Ben, the kid's acting was... not great, but it's a child actor, so I'll give it a pass. As it is, I'm a firm believer that Ben is Dean's son, biological or not.
I guess we have to talk about Sam, huh? Man, there were so many times when I wanted to just. Slap him. Or punch him in the face with a brick. Either would work. Even when he got his soul back, he got right back into his pushy self. I get that he wanted to "atone," but he really just did not get it.
Speaking of slapping people, Cas. Oh my stars, this angel is so stupid. Like, yeah, the boys could've been more appreciative for what he did for them, but could really not see when he went too far? 6x20 The Man Who Would Be King almost made me feel bad for him, but he wouldn't back down even when it was clear that something was wrong.
This has been really depressing, so let's get into the fun stuff! Holy cow, this season had so many bangers. Count 'em up: 6x02 Two And A Half Men, 6x05 Live Free Or Twi-Hard, 6x09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe, 6x15 The French Mistake, 6x17 My Heart Will Go On, 6x18 Frontierland, and 6x21 Let It Bleed all make my list. My favorite is probably gonna be Frontierland, which is honestly one of the lesser episodes on this list, but I have reasons: 1) the Good Omens parallel was absolutely hilarious even if it was unintentional, and b) I've always thought that Samuel Colt was cool since way back in season 2. This only made him more awesome. And anyway, watching Dean in the Wild West was hilarious, if a little embarrassing. Sorry dude, but you should've known Hollywood would make things look weird.
One thing that I will say about this season is that it's all over the place. I think, after wrapping up the story all nice with a bow in season 5, they didn't really know what to do, so they just kind of improvised. It was a risky gamble, but it paid off with one or more of the fandom's favorite episodes, and one of the most memorable characters. There were multiple story arcs moving at once (Eve, Soulless!Sam, Ben and Lisa, Cas vs. Raphael) and all of them managed to fit seamlessly together. Despite all of the development that had to fit in a regularly sized season, I didn't really feel like it was rushed, especially not compared to the end of season 5. They managed to blend everything together while still keeping it manageable to understand.
Mostly, I just felt bad for Dean. In the span of weeks, he lost his semi-girlfriend, his son, and his best friend, while still juggling the emotions from his brother's close calls as well as everything else going on. Obviously, he's not the only one struggling (Bobby Singer deserves a vacation) but man, Dean needs a hug and a nap, and then another hug when he wakes up.
Baby. My beloved. The most important object in the universe. Not a prop, but one of (if not the) greatest characters on the show.
I'm so sorry. Baby deserved better. I mean first of all, you're telling me Dean just left her to sit in a garage for a year while he messed around in a station wagon? Who are you and what have you done with Dean Winchester.
And then the Mustang. That made me sick. I couldn't even look at it, it was just horrifying. And then Balthazar played it off like it didn't matter!!! That's the most important object in the universe jerk!!! Pay her some respect!!!
And she got wrecked at the end! That car has been through so much, and she does not need to be crashed into every position possible. She deserves better. Every time something bad happens to that car I die a little inside.
Well, enough about Baby (there will never be enough about Baby). The next season is supposedly about Leviathans, which could get very interesting. I could be wrong, but I also think maybe we meet Charlie next season? Well anyway, this one is usually considered as sort of the "forgotten season" (like Adam), so we'll see how it goes. I'll get started within the next couple of days. Carry on!

Here For You Part 6
Fandom: Chicago PD / One Chicago
Series: Here For You
Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 // Part 4 // Part 5 // Part 6 // Part 7 // Part 8 (Final)
Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader
Warning/s: none
Word Count: 1,534
Summary: Y/N’s world spun out of control after she got pregnant, uprooting her life and moving to Chicago only for her brother to get involved in a murder trial. Now, her baby is finally here, and with Jay by her side her life feels like it’s finally coming together again, until someone from her past comes back into the picture and threatens to tear down everything she’s tried so hard to build.
Tumblr media
The trial process was nervewracking, multiple interviews, assessing characters, income, stability... You were glad you had Jay to lean on when it got overwhelming, but you knew you were the best thing for Lucas, and you held onto that throughout the ordeal. 
Between juggling raising your son and fighting to keep him, you made yourself think about your own future, not just in terms of Jay, but in terms of a career too. So when Lucas was big enough, you were going to start training to be a nurse. It was a time of near constant fear, but also hope; you could see your life beyond this, all you had to go was get past this colosal hurdle. 
Tommy on the other hand, as you learned in court, didn’t have a job or apartment, and had bailed on two separate court-ordered rehabs, leading to hefty fines he couldn’t afford to pay. Needless to say, the trail was going in your favour.
Eventually, the judge ruled that you were to receive full custody, but adviced you let Tommy have visitation at your own discretion, and at a time when he was in a fitter state and child support was being paid regularly and in full, the issue of custody could be revisited. Tommy wasn’t happy, but it was everything you could have asked for. 
You left the courtroom with your head held high that day, Henry passing you back Lucas as he and Jay led you out towards the elevators. Tommy chose that moment to approach, your smile wiped from your face in an instant. 
“Y/N,” he said with force, making you stop in your tracks and turn to face him. He was angry, and while you couldn’t exactly blame him... wait, yes you could. Tommy was the one who wanted to take this to court, actually having the audacity to put you and Lucas through all that thinking he had a chance. 
Jay put a protective hand on your back, positioning himself so that he was slightly shielding you and your son. “You brought this on yourself,” you told him, watching his eyes flare with rage as you continued, “if you’d have just reached out properly, we might have been able to sort something out without needing it to get this far.” 
It wasn’t a lie, you would have considered it, maybe not when you were lying in a hospital bed with your new born baby obviously, and he never should have expected that, but you could have come to an arangement. 
Tommy rolled his eyes and grumbled something you didn’t care to repeat, Jay tensing beside you. “Who the hell is this guy anyway, seriously?” He asked, gesturing to Jay with indignation, “this guy isn’t Lucas’ dad, I am, and what? He gets to be around my kid whenever he wants while I have to beg you for scraps?” 
Lucas was starting to fuss in your arms as you took a step away from Jay towards Tommy, wanting to show him that you were fighting your own battles. Jay cast you a worried glance but he didn’t stop you. You took a breath, leveling yourself as you felt your blood boil. 
“Yes,” you answered his question, much to his shock and anger, “Jay’s been there for me, for us, this whole time since we met, since you left. He’s a good man, kind and dedicated, and Lucas would be lucky to have Jay for a dad.” 
You heard Jay suck in a small sharp breath, not expecting you to say that; Tommy gasped in surprise, almost looking hurt. Honestly, you were surprised you said that outloud too, but there it was. Henry was smiling in a knowing way, glad his sister was finally standing up for herself.  
“You little...” Tommy hissed, taking a step forward and pointing his finger in an acusatory manner. Instinctively, you took a step back, a protective arm around Lucas as he started to cry. That was all the cue Jay needed to intervene, blocking Tommy’s path.
Security took a step forward, ready to de-escalate the situation if they needed to, but Jay had it under control, sensing the shift in Tommy’s stance and the way he clenched his fist. It was an obvious swing, one that Jay dodged with ease, a slight glint clear in his eyes, gaining all the justification he’d been waiting for as he aimed a well placed punch at Tommy’s nose, knocking him to the ground in one hit. 
Tommy looked daised, steam practically coming out of his eyes as he tried to stand, clearly going for round two before he froze, staring at the badge Jay had just revealed under his shirt. Jay signaled to the guard to pick him up off the floor.
“Congratuations Tommy, you’ve just assaulted a police detective in a court house full of witnesses,” he told him, nodding towards the crowd of people who had stopped what they were doing to witness the commotion. 
Any sympathy you might have had was gone as you looked him square in the eyes. “Goodbye Tommy,” you told him, turning on your heals as you soothed your crying son. You already had an actual baby to take care of, you didn’t need to pile a grown man onto that list. Somewhere down the line, you might consider letting him visit Lucas, but that wasn’t going to be anytime soon. Besides, after this there wouldn’t be a judge around who wouldn’t take your side on that matter.
As the doors shut to the elevator and Tommy was taken into custody, you let out a breath you hadn’t realised you’d been holding, grateful when you felt Jay’s fingers slip into your own. You glanced down at his bruised knuckles and ran your thumb over them lightly, squeezing his hand in thanks as Lucas began to calm down. 
It had been satisfying to watch, if you were being honest, you knew Henry agreed by the smirk that had become permanently plastered on his face. Jay definitely enjoyed it a little too much, but you didn’t blame him.
You looked around at the people in the elevator. They were your family, Lucas’ family. You didn’t need Tommy, hadn’t for a long time, maybe now he’d realise that.
-
“What’s going to happen to Tommy?” You inquired once you were back in the comfort of your own apartment, Lucas finally calmed down and asleep after the ordeal at court. 
“I don’t know, but after that outburst he won’t be allowed near you or Lucas for a long time,” Jay informed you, temporarily putting on his serious detective voice, “I’ll make some calls tomorrow.” You knew he would, he took yours and Lucas’ safety very seriously, Tommy was probably at the 21st right now nursing his nose.
“I didn’t want this, Lucas deserves stability, a good father...” You sighed with frustration, all the emotion you’d bottled up during the day and the trail threatening to boil over. Jay grabbed your hand and you met his eyes, “I meant what I said in there, about you. I want you in his life.”
“I want to be in his life, I love him...” Jay told you honestly, taking a deep readying breath, as if preparing himself for what he was about to say, “I’m kind of in love with you too.”
“Jay-,” You breathed, shocked by his declaration.
“I know you’ve been through a lot and this is sudden, but I love you Y/N, and I want to be a part of your life, both of your lives,” he continued, taking your other hand too. 
His touch was strong, warm, comforting, everything you wanted for yourself and Lucas. Jay had proven time and time again the kind of man he was, without fail, he’d been kind, patient, supportive... everything Tommy had never been, everything you didn’t think you deserved, but here he was, ready to give it all to you without hesitation. 
So you told him the truth, the truth you hadn’t even realised it until this moment, buried deep down as you’d tried to navigate your new life. “I love you too,” you told him, and it was like something cracked open in your chest, and you could breath again. You’d never said those words to anyone, not romantically, but you knew it your heart that you did.
“Yeah?” He asked hopefully, not quite believing that you’d said it back so quickly, or with so much confidence. You took him in as you thought of what to say, every detail.
“Yeah I really do, I guess I’ve been trying to fight it, thinking that it might be selfish to think about a relationship right now, but the truth is you are what’s best for him, and me,” you tried your best to explain, “I love you, and although I don’t know what’s going to happen with Tommy, I know Lucas could never ask for a better father than you.”
“You mean that?” 
"With my whole heart.” 
And then you kissed, and it felt like a promise, a promise of ‘i love you’, a promise of a future, a promise to always been there for each other, whatever came next.

fanboy // park woojin
♥ reverse idol! Woojin
♥ fluffy!!
♥ 1.6k words
♥ summary: if it weren't for your viral moment, Woojin would not have gotten back into dancing and fallen hopelessly in love with you
Part 2
Tumblr media
You were half of a kpop duo who compose their own music as well as choreographing your complex yet meaningful dance moves
Through the constant juggling of producing music and ensuring that your performance was top-notch
You became very close with your other half, to the point where you guys were now stuck to the hip
He went by the name of Miko, keeping his true name a secret until the both of you were guaranteed a big success
But sometimes you slip up during interviews and Miko always has to cover it up
"the one who does most of the composing of music? That's definitely Min-"
"ME,,, obviously" before he stares into your soul and sends a message with his piercing irises
"say goodbye to dinner, you asshole"
Which makes you quickly zip up because Miko is also in charge of cooking your meals
He's afraid you might set the kitchen on fire from boiling water
But he also likes to exaggerate sometimes
So the rest of the roles in your duo is placed on you
You were the rapper and the choregrapher between the two of you
And whenever you get stuck on a line, you would always ask Miko about what he feels in a certain situation
Having a dramatic friend has its perks yknow - Miko 2018
He is also the person you keep watch of if you want to gather inspiration for a new iconic™ dance move
Especially when he cooks wwhile his jamming to songs
You'll turn his silly and uncoordinated moves into a more fluid and impactful one
But you don't tell him that because you wouldn't want to add onto his list of things people need to credit him for
Of course you taking half of that damn list you loathe so much
But back to you
You were very capable in making your choreographies unique yet still eye-catching
There was once when you made a comeback in the second year of your debut and had performed for one of the music shows
You left everyone SHOOK when your performance ended
Your fanbase of boys and girls screaming their lungs out as you cheekily wink into the camera you smooth motherfker
Once your fansites had uploaded photos of the performance as well as the show being broadcasted, everyone began to copying one of your iconic moves in it
Everyone called it the sexy lip wipe
Let's just say half of your fandom died after seeing it
So during this viral moment, Woojin saw it when he was scrolling through his Instagram feed
He became completely Mesmerised when he saw a short clip of you doing the move
His heart was in his throat and he only realised he was holding onto his breath until the video ended
Hence, that was the moment he stanned your group
Naturally, you became his bias and he got motivated to get back into dancing
the last time he danced was when he was entering a competition to get free coupons at the grocery store nearby
He had a fiery passion in it but sadly, it fizzled after a few years of solely focusing on his studies
It was due to the numerous comments of his relatives nagging him on his career path, their words dumping buckets of water to his burning determination
Until you came into his life
After he had graduated from high school, Woojin began focusing on getting back on his twinkle toes
Although he was quite rusty, he's muscle memory was still as good as before as he began practicing the basic stuff and quickly moving onto the more complex moves
Once he was confident that he was able to execute your choregraphy with at least some ease
He began scanning your dance practice video thoroughly
But he was soon distracted by the way you graciously moved to the upbeat song, your charisma flowing through the screen
He was only able to get the first verse down, too busy 'studying' your other dance practices
After another week or so, he finally got the whole choreo down, setting up an old camera he found lying around at home
He took another few takes, satisfied once he ended the fifth time as he walked towards the camera, panting as sweat trickled down his temple
"Hey Woojin, what's this?" His best friend Daehwi called out to him
Daehwi was hanging out at Woojin's a routine they had made ever since they became friends, including Youngmin and Donghyun
(well, Daehwi started it)
Woojin looked over Daehwi's shoulder as his eyes trailed over to his best friend's lap where his laptop was placed
His eyes go wide when he sees a familiar figure executing a familiar dance
"o-oH i Don't Know, let's look at cat videos instead. Aren't cats more interesting-"
"You're so bad at hiding stuff, even if your face is expressionless most of the time," Daehwi scoffs as he begins to blast your song from the video
But the large number of views caught his eye, nearly flipping the laptop to another universe
"whAT THE- YOUR FAMOUS WOOJIN,"
"No I'm not what are you talk- HOLY,"
At this point, his number of views were nearly on par with professional dancers' videos
And while he was internally (and externally) screaming from the shock in his little humble home
You were browing through your phone to see that your fans had tagged you to a certain video multiple time, curious as to what it would be
You secretly hoped it would be another crack video, those always made your day
Even if it was centered to making jokes about you and Miko
But you checked the video nonetheless
And you were extremely glad you had tapped the video, your eyes lighting up when a minute of the video had gone
You always looked forward to your fans attempting your dance
Because someone out there had been inspired by you and you couldn't be any happier
If you told predebut you of what you were doing now and how people looked up to you, they would probably laugh it off as a joke
But you were genuinely glad that your fans looked happy when they were dancing to your song
And this video of Woojin confidently dancing to the beat had brightened up your day
In your daze of happiness, you liked the post before being called by your manager to prepare for a simple restaurant commercial
During the time that you were away from your phone, everyone in your fandom was screaming in capitals on every social media that existed
This soon got Woojin's attention as he began to double check the words displayed on his screen
A wide giddy smile was plastered on his face as he shot up from his bed, just about to go to bed
But he doubts that he'll ever get sleep that night
You had just finished a few concerts around korea, occasionally having fanmeetings when your schedule permits
Your next location was Busan, where you and Miko were going to hold a fanmeeting and a concert a day after.
When Woojin heard you were going to visit his hometown he searched every corner of his sofa for extra coins and crevices to add into his savings
He couldn't pass up the chance to see the group of people that had reignited his passion in dancing
And also because you were super hot and missing this opportunity will forever leave a hole in his heart
Lucky him, his parents had already bought him a ticket
They had realised how much happier he get the past few weeks ever since he began dancing again
Although he tried to hide it from them, knowing their relatives were against the idea and his parents being not so keen on the idea either
His parents would rather see their son have the sparkle in his eyes rather than have to face him where his snaggletooth smile became a rarity
They present him the little gift, earning them a bone-crushing hug from him before he scurried to his phone to spam his group chat of friends about it
Donghyun was slightly jealous, finally stanning you guys after watching numerous videos of you with Woojin
Youngmin cheered Woojin on, telling him to "take a few pics of (Y/N)'s lip wip PLEASE also Miko's visuALS"
While Daehwi sent an indescribable text
From what Woojin could decipher, Daehwi was absolutely jealous and demanded for your signature if he ever got the chance
A/N: I'm gonna post part 2 tomorrow!! So watch out for that my dudes 😋
