What Is Going On Here (⊙△⊙✿)

what is going on here (⊙△⊙✿)

“You’re family.”

This is a phrase we see mentioned on the show only constantly and always. Family family family, we love us a family on SPN. But I was watching Stuck In the Middle With You, the scene where Cas is seconds away from death. He’s literally using his last breaths ever maybe to tell Dean, Sam and Mary that he loves them, that what they’ve been through together has changed him (such a guilty look from Dean, here - he thinks he corrupted Cas, and Cas is actually dying right in front of him as he’s saying that, so yeah, it’s changed him alright), but that they have to run and save themselves. Something else to note, here - is how Cas looks right at Dean as he’s saying those words, and next, we see Mary (who’s kneeling beside Cas) look up at Dean, who lowers his eyes. “I love you. I love all of you,” he says, making sure to look at each of them in turn when he says the second part (though he says the first without looking at any of them). But Sam and Dean’s reactions are so interesting… just look at their faces when they hear Cas say he loves them:

Dean looks like he’s seconds away from breaking, but meanwhile, Sam looks especially touched, here - almost in awe, like, wow - an angel just told me that he loves me. Cas tries to insist that they leave, that he’ll hold Ramiel off so they can escape, because they have to keep fighting - but nope, say Sam and Dean, we’re staying. “Like you said: you’re family,” Dean chokes out, “and we don’t leave family behind.” And, again, it cuts to Mary - who’s processing that information. Which I thought was interesting and made me think about that. What she sees when she looks at her son making a declaration like that, to someone he’d told her was a ‘friend’. And then it made my brain jump to that line again - “We don’t leave family behind.” All I could think was - Dean sure as hell didn’t learn that from John. He couldn’t possibly have. John made it his mission, practically, to make sure he left his sons behind whenever he could (including making a deal with Azazel and leaving them stuck holding the bag with all the consequences inside it). He also didn’t learn it from Mary, either (Ms. I Just Got Resurrected After 33 Years and I’m Leaving After 3 Episodes are you fucking kidding me with that? Not to mention, she is perfectly fine with putting Dean’s friend at risk for the fucking British Men of Letters - he could have DIED, and she didn’t lift a finger to help.) It’s a large part of the reason Dean’s so fucked up, now. No, this is something Dean decided for himself. “We don’t leave family behind,” isn’t a Winchester family motto because of John, but because of Dean. That’s their new, chosen way, that’s their path - they go together, go through it all together. Because going off on a loner revenge quest? That’s John Winchester’s bullshit and we don’t do that in this house. Not anymore.

(Also don’t think about how Cas started out his speech by saying ‘thank you’ to them, and in 13x01, the first thing Sam tells Jack he can say is ‘thank you’. HURK! My heart!)

eeby deeby origins

Update: now with image descriptions courtesy of @better-image-descriptions ! TLDR at the end

So basically i was going to make a post explaining eeby deeby, but then I was doing Meme Research and discovered that my previous claim that the elevator eeby deeby meme and the “your dick cold” eeby deeby meme are unrelated is actually false!

So, if you look up eeby deeby you will be taken to this Know Your Meme page, which may confuse you more, and seems completely unrelated. basically the eeby deeby meme documented here was someone editing a comic panel to make a joke about robot penises? the “eeby deeby” here is supposed to be like, robot noises or something.

[Image description: An edited comic panel of a man and a robot. The man says, “Your dick cold.” The robot, from behind him says, “Eeby deeby”. /End ID]

EDIT: it turns out this is a comic of Buck Rogers, which had a TV show in the 70s. The robot here, Twiki, apparently makes an “eeby deeby” noise a lot (usually written out as “bidibidi”). I found a clip of this on youtube here. (thank you to @accumulus for this information!)

update 2/13: I think i found the original panel (put link to post here):

[image description: the same comic panel as before, but with the original dialogue. The man says “Good! Hang on tight! Here we go!”. The robot says “Where? To certain doom?”. /end ID]

The current eeby deeby meme originated from this image of a weird elevator display:

[Image description: A picture of an elevator screen saying “Eeby deeby” with an arrow pointing upward. There’s text above the image saying “Where the fuck is this thing taking me”. /End ID]

So i was like “ok these things are unrelated it’s just that they happen to contain the same nonsense phrase”.

But then I tried to find the original post of the elevator image, so I googled “where the fuck is this thing taking me” and got this tweet from 2018:

[ID: The same photo as the second, but the elevator screen says, “uwu” with an arrow pointing upward. /End ID]

This appears to have been its own meme, but I haven’t heard of it before today. Seeing as these photos are identical except for the text display, the eeby deeby image is an edit of the UwU elevator joke. Edit 2/18: There is more to the UwU elevator meme than I have here, and this photo is probably an edit as well, but this post has honestly gotten long enough already so I’m not including much about it, even though I probably should. This post has gotten to the point that several old versions are the more circulated ones (a lot of people are reblogging it without the info about Twiki) so I guess it doesn’t matter.

So I reverse image searched the eeby deeby elevator image: (sidenote: look at what happened when i did:)

[ID: A google reverse image search of the Eeby deeby elevator photo. There is text saying, “Possible related search: grunge photography aesthetic”. /End ID]

And I got some weird results but I found an important result from imgur! Note: as of when I am making this post (Feb 6 2021), the eeby deeby meme only showed up on tumblr like 5 days ago.

[ID: An Imgur post from MetaPathos from 10 days ago showing the Eeby deeby elevator photo. /End ID]

“MetaPathos… that sounds familiar…”:

[ID: A Know Your Meme article saying, “The earliest known post of the edited comic strip appeared on October 19th, 2019 in an Imgur comment by MetaPathos (shown below). However, this may not be” before cutting off. /End ID]

MetaPathos is, as far as we know, the original poster of the “your dick cold” edit.

Edit 2/18: So, I checked the Know Your Meme page and its comments again, and I saw this comment:

[ID: a screenshot of a comment on a Know Your Meme article. The comment is by user Derpy Vaz, posted on February 13, 2021. The comment reads “user onewallpaperaweek on imgur created the elevator EEBY DEEBY. it was posted on twitter and went viral”. the word twitter is a hyperlink to the twitter post. /end ID]

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know how Imgur works (as in how to properly navigate it and what the site’s culture is, I just know how one would use it to post images on a petsim forum), so I have not been able to find the original eeby deeby elevator post. I did, however, find this post, but it is not by onewallpaperaweek. It’s also newer than one MetaPathos posted, so it’s definitely not the original. I also found these two posts by MetaPathos about the spread of Eeby Deeby, so I suggest checking them out. x x.

Ok that’s cool and all but what the fuck is the eeby deeby meme on tumblr?

Good question! I don’t really know how to find out where the jokes about eeby deeby started because tumblr’s search function sucks eggs, but a reblog of what appears to be the first time eeby deeby elevator was posted on tumblr (Feb 1 2021) that combines “you are going to brazil” with eeby deeby was posted on Feb 2 2021:

[ID: A tumblr post by @the-jade-palace. Attached is an image of a person on fire falling through a fiery tube. There’s text over it saying, “You are going to eeby deeby”. /End ID] EDIT: In an earlier version of this post, I said that this was related to the superhell meme, but upon Further Research it’s most likely more closely related to “You Are Going To Brazil”. Shoutout to @can-you-maybe-chill’s tags for making me realize this wasn’t in fact the case. Update: @the-jade-palace has since confirmed that this was not a superhell joke, but in fact a “You Are Going To Brazil” joke.

I, and many others, mistook this for a reference to the superhell joke because I had not actually seen the episode or full scene, and had seen this gif posted multiple times in reference to the superhell thing. It is not, in fact, a clip from Supernatural, but a clip from the movie Spawn, which… I don’t know much about but I found the clip of this scene in this youtube video (put link here) and the movie looks rather strange. Seeing as the superhell joke is very popular (because it’s funny) and many people thought this gif was from that scene (I have a lot of people in the tags saying “wait it’s not from supernatural” in response to my first update to this post in which I clarified this), I think this may have contributed to the spread of eeby deeby and the establishment of “eeby deeby” as some sort of place.

There is also this post, which I recall as being the first time I saw eeby deeby outside of the original elevator post:

[ID: A tumblr post by @angryrivaini saying, “imagine getting jumped by a bunch of elevators and you hear one say “take his ass to eeby deeby”. /End ID]
