[Amusing Myself And My Anxiety] Post #3 - Oh What Fresh(ers') Hell!

Make-believe

It’s an underrated word to describe the most powerful tool of mankind. Imagination. The ultimatum of creativity. No two conjured images will ever be the same. One can build a whole universe while on a 10 minute bus journey. That which gave us the happiness of discovering Hogwarts, the glory of finding the ring, or the triumph of winning the hunger games. Creation, is right here. This is genesis and destruction. Beginning and the end. Just one single idea. And the world, as we know it, has changed.

Reblogging solely for the TL: DR

Reasons to really like Benoit Blanc:

The scene where Helen talks to him for the first time.

He is just entirely warm to this stranger. When Helen starts reminiscing about her late sister, he listens for a good while, and then gently but directly asks her what he can do for her.

When Helen terms Duke, Lionel, Birdie and Claire the Shitheads, he immediately adopts the term and uses it.

He listens to Helen. Actively and compassionately. Later on, he calls back to the "rich bitch voice". In every way, the writing shows us that he genuinely cares and is Interested in the world around him and the people in it, rather than being disinterested and disaffected by a world that he views as beneath him.

It's just such a refreshing showcase of emotional intelligence. If we contrasted this with, say, BBC Sherlock, that stuck up mothercunt would have been twiddling his thumbs and nodding along until he and He Alone would have had his big revelation, at which point the plot would have proceeded. (Fine, he was compassionate at times in his own, obnoxiously shitty, way.)

One word. Wow

5 times Dean had work to do, and the one time he actually enjoyed it.  pairing: dean/cas a commission for @jensenackhles <3 2k words

One 

Dean first heard the phrase a few weeks after his mom died.

John had checked them into a motel—one of the many that they had cycled through in the past few weeks. Sam was asleep in the crib, and John was on the opposite bed. Dean had woken up to a strange sound; he rolled over and saw John at the foot of the bed, head bowed, shoulders shaking.

Dean had never seen his dad cry before. Even right after the fire, when he was telling the detectives what happened at the police station: completely dry-eyed. So seeing his dad cry was… strange. Dean wanted to make it stop. 

He pushed back the sheets and hopped off the bed. Walking on unsteady, sleepy toddler legs to his dad, he put either hand on John’s knees, looking up at him. John was clutching a worn picture of Mary between his fingers.

“Are you okay, dad?” Dean asked.

John continued to stare at the picture of Mary’s smiling face. After a moment, he sniffed. Wiped his face that was striped with tears with the back of his hand. He ruffled Dean’s hair and said gruffly, “Yeah, kid. I’m fine. Get back to sleep, okay? We got work to do in the morning.”

And the next morning in the car, when Sam was crying in his carseat and kicking up a storm, Dean patted his head and said, “It’s okay, Sammy, shh. Stop crying. We got work to do, okay? So you can’t cry. We got to work.” 

Sam just stared at him with big teary and trusting eyes. Dean didn’t even know what he was really saying at the time; what he was getting them into.
