Finally finished this little bird, might make him a sticker at some point? Might change the design a bit but I'm super pleased with the wings 🪽

crazy how you watch any spn episode from the first half of the show and it's like. i understand the hype around cas. he really is the best character on television. he kicks so much ass when the writers aren't nerfing and woobifying him every 5 seconds

dean winchester and autism because this man is autistic and i will not accept otherwise:

his reaction to sam giving him the giant slinky at the end of 7x14 'plucky pennywhistle's magical menagerie'

actually physically stimming when he enters the bunker with sam in 15x14 'last holiday' and sees the christmas decorations

the boxing episode, 11x15 'beyond the mat', where dean spends the entire episode fanboying and (for lack of a better word) plays in the boxing ring

wearing the same thing (flannel, jeans, in earlier seasons the leather jacket) almost all of the time while not in disguise to work cases

eating the same thing (cheeseburger with extra onions or pie) at almost everywhere they go, as often as he can (about dean winchester and food, i could talk about that for hours he has so many issues with it and it's all john winchester's fault)

his ability to recite movies line for line, and his tendency to communicate almost entirely through references and movie quotes, and expecting people to understand what he means

about references, he makes jokes and references when it's not appropriate, he doesn't understand that something isn't appropriate in a situation where it isn't specifically pointed out to him, and he generally has a pretty messed up sense of empathy and inability to 'read the room'

‘you’re always calling me a geek, but you know every word to every led zeppelin song, backwards and forwards. you can discuss in detail every major rock drummer between ’67 and ’84… and you watch ‘jeopardy!’ every night.’ - directly quoted from sam winchester in 14x20 'moriah'

in 13x06 'tombstone' when they go into the motel and dean talks about the cowboys, identifying all of them and going into quite a bit of detail about a few of them, even though nobody asked him about it and he is absolutely infodumping. 'he really likes cowboys.' 'yes. yes, he does.'

his knowledge of cars, particularly baby, and how he takes her for a ride when he's sad because of the comfort she provides him. also about baby and comfort, the way he offers to let people drive baby when he realises that they're sad, thinking it'll make them feel better as she makes him happy and he doesn't understand how else to help

in 1x03 'dead in the water' he talks to lucas about how he didn't speak as a kid, he plays with the toy soldiers and it doesn't come across as playing with them to make lucas trust him, it actually comes across as him finding genuine enjoyment in it

in 1x15 'the benders' when he's talking to the kid who mentions godzilla, dean brightens immediately and goes off topic talking about his favourite godzilla film, and has to be reminded that he's working a case by sam

the entirety of 14x04 'mint condition', how dean gets to express his interests and be himself and how a lot of people have mentioned that he seems to be genuinely himself in that episode instead of the act he puts on

larping with charlie, no explanation needed

he shuts down when things go badly, often blasting music and ignoring everything and everyone around him

he always picks scissors when playing rock, paper, scissors, and it's actually something that comes up multiple times within the show - in 2x17 'heart', sam says, 'dean, always with the scissors,' and along the same lines, his excitement both times he actually wins the game

in 1x04 'phantom traveller', dean is terrified because of the plane and sam points out that he's humming metallica. he replies that it calms him down, and that just seems very autistic

i'll be honest, i truly do not understand when people get all up in arms whenever anyone involved with spn describes cas's love for dean as beyond the human understanding of love, as if there haven't been posts made on here for years by fans literally describing cas's love for dean / destiel's love as akin to worship, a powerful force greater than god, cosmic, all encompassing, profound, etc etc. i thought the outrage was silly when jensen expressed the idea of cas's love being more than romantic back in denver con 2021 and i think it's silly now with these bedlund tweets. not to mention being more than and beyond something imo means it encompasses the romantic AND more. it's romantic, it's platonic, it's cosmic, it's worship, it's everything. and i think that's beautiful. and yes, it's exactly what their love is. a huge profound force that changed the narrative, that wasn't meant to be there, that kept breaking through anyway.

and i understand what people are saying about this language being used for a queer ship etc etc, but like, there's nothing inherently wrong or negating their love in saying that it's a greater love. if anything i think it's saying, hey, see these two? yea their love is bigger than what we can even comprehend. idk i'm just going to continue to take these statements in good faith. and also, until the reboot happens, they can't really say more about destiel beyond the bounds of the confession. jensen, bedlund, misha, etc can't speak to dean's feelings, for instance, or confirm anything one way or another, because if those feelings are a major plot point to be explored and acknowledged in the continuation then to speak about them now with any kind of definitive statement would be spoiling / jumping the gun, and it's not their place to make those statements yet, if we are indeed going to see more of dean and cas's story in the future (which i mean, at this point based on their statements about the reboot it's really a When not If situation).

The thing is that Dean and his abandonment issues wants Castiel to stay, despite the fuck ups and the blame and the anger, he needs him to stay as proof that he’s not toxic that he can have good things and not break them

But Castiel, and his guilt chose to leave because that is his penance. Why does he deserve to be happy when he has caused so much suffering? How can he look at Dean smile at him when he’s fucked up so much? He needs to leave because how could he be around Dean like he isn’t a living monument to all the ways his fuck ups hurt the ones he loves.

Cas wants to help the brothers, so he leaves. He’s caused them so much pain what right does he have to be around them, when he can be out there getting them information, finding things they need, helping fix their problems. This is his penance. Because no matter how hard he rebelled or how far he fell Castiel has an innate, almost primal need to be holy, to be absolved of his mistakes and sins. And he’s made so many mistakes where else can he find penance but in misery?

And in almost every episode Dean is in some way or form asking Castiel if he'll stay this time, and every-time Cas says no. And Dean can be mean, he’s s a deeply angry man, and so every no seems like proof that he’s pushed him to far that this is it this is when Cas says he's had enough. He's not gonna stay and be screamed or laughed at anymore. Dean’s finally succeeded in driving him away as he does anyone that’s ever given a damn about him. That this is proof of how toxic he is; after all Castiel is a creature with wings, all he wants to do is fly, and here Dean is trying to keep him in a cage.

The more Cas leaves on his own, the more Dean feels the need to give him a reason too.

The ways in which we punish ourselves; depriving ourselves of the ways in which we love.

The narrative’s doomed them from the start.

Castiel's Powers Were Failing

Say it with me. A major Castiel plot point remains unresolved.

We like to think that Cas ended up living as a human in heaven with Dean in Dabb's original draft, but Look how surprised Cas is when he can heal later in s15. ... After patching up his relationship with Dean. Interesting.

15x02 | 15x03 | 15x06 | 15x08 | 15x15

obvs i cannot pass definitive judgement yet, having watched less than half of All The SPN There Is, but... mildly disappointed to report that i'm not really feeling it on Destiel. ok, sure, their interactions are fun enough, but i guess i was expecting WAY more ship catnip given the hype.

mostly though, i just cannot shake the feeling that at this point (mid s6), if Dean and Castiel DID manage to fuck, it would end prematurely with Dean hyperventilating in the corner

(while cursing a blue streak at Cas for "making it weird," mostly to cover for the fact that he might've peed himself a little and not in the kinky way)

He was a boy(gn)

She was a girl

Can I make it any more obvious

@what-if-i-just-did one of s17's new characters

i can't in good faith recommend supernatural to anyone but there truly is nothing else like it

re: my last reblog, I don't care enough about S15 to write an actual analysis, but I do find the fandom idea that Chuck is supposed to represent the SPN writers and/or the network to be really baffling when imo Chuck as representative of the Bad Fan seems to me the more intentional and obvious interpretation. he's contrasted against Becky as the Good Fan in 15x04. he wants the show to end with drama horror tragedy!!1! he wants Sam & Dean to kill each other! which is of course rejected by Becky the Good Fan. he creates "AU fic" with all the other worlds and Sams & Deans but of course can't help but love the "canon-verse" the most. he's defeated by Sam, Dean and Jack, aka the new major character introduced in Dabb era who's arguably an audience surrogate and certainly connected to the viewership, including its younger part, that the show had at that point. Chuck isn't defeated by his death but through taking away his power, walking away, and ignoring him. (don't feed the trolls, after all.)

Angel hunter Claire AU where she’s like Lily Sunder. She homebrews angel powers from the residual grace left behind by Cas and gets the cool glowing eye thing going on, complete with the eyepatch. AND she gets her angel sword, too. She travels around rescuing people who have been possessed by angels, hunting down Cas all the while. Claire Novak has some regrets.

Listen I've never been the biggest fanfiction reader. But if a show has me opening up ao3, that's when you know some gay bitches have wiggled their way to my cerebellum.

wait, the vaughn and caspian family tree post has me confused is vaughn a latino king now

yes their family is a mess but technically he has always been one. actually vaughn is under the impression that he's portuguese on his dad side (bc he doesn't know who his dad really is since his mom lied about it), he mentions here that he's portuguese when the truth is he isn't. since cas's dad is also vaughn's dad, that makes vaughn of mexican and native american descent, so yes he's a latino king. it's complicated, their whole family is full of complicated drama!!

New Audio: Los Angeles' Object of Affection Share Anthemic "Half Life" @another__side__ @profound_lore @deathbells__

Los Angeles-based post punk outfit Object of Affection features members of Death Bells, LOCK, and Fury. The project sees its members tapping into the primitivism of their diverse projects while elevating their capacity for both atmosphere and melody. While hints of gloomy punk, brooding New Wave and down-and-out Regan-era alt rock reverberate in their sound and approach, it’s not in pastiche; but…
