Wtf Happened Here

Not an immigrant here, but the rest checks out. Hey there.

So we're all just here huh

Oh how I wish this comes true

last scene of supernatural is sam, dean, and cas leaning against the impala, beers clinking. no one speaks; their work is done and they can finally, finally just hold on to this moment, together. they take in the sunset, the still-warm metal of baby’s hood, the soft rustling of the breeze through grass and leaves. and like it isn’t everything, like it’s the simplest thing he’s done in his long, hard-won life cas reaches down to lace his fingers through dean’s. they keep their gaze to the sky, so it’s only the sinking sun that sees the way dean nearly breaks in relief, its orange glow catching the shine in his eyes and quiet turn of his lips. it casts shadows long and dark behind them, almost phantom in their presence, but the three men don’t look back to see. dean leans into the warmth instead, and against the steadfast fabric of castiel’s shoulder he rests his weary head.

Yes. Yes. YES!!!!

If you’re a man and ask a lady if she’s on her period and she is, you’re gonna get cold cocked. If she isn’t, you’re still gonna get cold cocked, because you’re attributing her very valid feelings and frustrations to a common biological process that we’ve all been dealing with forever and you’re minimizing our feelings and highlighting just how ignorant you are when you attribute them to our periods.

I thought this was angsty at first... BUT THANK YOU!!!

Day 30 - Kansas

It takes him 3 days to get there - 3 days of driving and barely any stops for food. He doesn’t exactly know why he’s going up there - maybe to see it, maybe to talk, maybe to just sit. But either way, it takes him 3 days. 

He gets there when it’s dark and he has to stop the Impala and sit for a very long minute - which turns into 3, and then 4, and then 5. And then he’s rushing to get out of the confines of the car and the door is slamming shut behind him. 

The air is cold when he steps out, and his hair gets swept from his face - he really needed to cut it again. He shoves his hands into his jacket and he pushes himself further down into it to block out the cold. He stands still for another moment before he takes a deep breath, the cold burning his lungs, and he starts forward. 

It takes him exactly 123 steps to find the grave. It takes him 23 seconds to kneel down and settle his hand on the granite name of Mary Winchester. He let out a shuddering breath at the feel of it, and he bowed his head slightly. 

He could do this. He could say it - even if it wasn’t really her, it wasn’t like he could go up to heaven and tell her. He braces himself, letting himself take a moment. 

“Mom-” he starts, before he cuts off, emotions flooding through and causing his throat to feel thick. He swallows thickly before he begins again. “Mom…I…I thought you should know something.”

It takes him another moment to pull his hand away from the stone, dropping it to his side. He stands again after a moment and takes a deep breath, one of his fingers moving to twist the ring on his hand. 

“I’m engaged,” he says, his breath coming out in a rough breath, and he says it more to the stars in the sky than to the grave. He feels a low weight lifted off of him, and he feels himself relax. “Yeah…I’m engaged,” he repeats, bowing his head, his eyes finding the ring quickly. 

“Cas asked me about a month ago and I….I needed to tell you,” he whispers, his chest constricting. He needed to tell her - it was this way or no way, and he would take this way. He stood for a moment longer before nodding and turning on his heel, marching back to the car. 

It would take 3 days to get back to where Sam and Cas were now, but he would get there. And when he did, he’d have Cas to hold him as he told what he did, to rock him as he told how it hurt, to do everything he could to make Dean forget. 

He had Cas. He was engaged to Cas. It was fine. Everything was fine.

“That’s your otp”?

“They’re just friends”

This is absolutely beautiful and light read!!!! And as always @navajolovesdestiel always delivers

Crappe’s Creek

My addition to the @cocklesdestielfiction crazy crossover challenge

Loosely based on Schitt’s Creek and Supernatural

Cas lay in the bed. He sighed deeply and turned over. Then he turned over to the other side. He sat up. The bed was so uncomfortable, the room so dreary, he wanted to scream. Just a couple of weeks ago, his family had everything-a mansion, wealth, power…. He had everything he wanted and more. And now?

No no they have a point, go on

hey. why would you say that

one of many reasons castiel spent the first year of knowing dean trying not to strangle him: dean’s weird little winchester-only dialect

i’m fucking obsessed with this right now, so buckle in for a meta. a cool fun (horrible) thing about dean’s dialogue is that a good 90% of what comes out of his mouth is:

a pop culture reference (“you’re just gonna take some divine bong hit, and shazam, you’re roma downey?”)

references to real life phenomenon (“i don’t wanna wake up missing a kidney in a bathtub full of ice” “try new mexico, i hear he’s on a tortilla”)

these also often take the form of nicknames, and dean has a tendency to give people nicknames in general or call them something besides their given name, whether it’s affectionate or rude (“easy there, van damme” “so i’m girl interrupted” furthermore castiel = cas, ezekiel = zeke, etc, see also frequent use of “chucklehead” “asshat” and on the nicer/endearments end “buddy” “pal” “sunshine” etc)

an idiom (“a snowball’s chance” “if it smells like a duck…”)

slang (“drinking the koolaid” “jonesing for some hooch” not to mention the literal endless amount of words dean uses to refer to killing - gank, waste, juice, ice, etc)

a metaphor (“power up your batteries” “fly me back to my page on the calendar”)

a euphemism (“cloud seeding” “i’d have given you an hour alone with her first”)

sarcasm (his habit of replying “peachy” or “super” when asked how he is)

wordplay (see: the entire “vampirate” and “werepire” debacles)

completely nonsensical (guessing what happened to a magical artifact: “it was dug up by tomb raiders? it was seized by the king of the dead by warlords?”)

said at lightning speed - if you pay attention, dean actually talks a LOT, usually a mile a minute (this makes me feel a way when you recall him being nonverbal for a year at age 4 but that’s another post)

slang IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE (casual usage of “guano,” etc)

a lie, a deflection, a joke, etc

or worse, something dean’s NOT saying, deliberately, because he’s one of the most repressed people on earth

the end result of all this being:

dean winchester is utterly infuckingcomprehensible. 

think about this. there’s an ENTIRE SECTION on EVERY SINGLE EPISODE PAGE of the spn wiki devoted to JUST explaining dean’s pop culture references, because the average viewer won’t have seen everything he’s talking about either. they have a whole page for this called “hunter’s lingo,” but honestly, it’s not all hunters, just sam and dean’s fucking batshit communication style. even i don’t understand dean half the time. SAM gets it, sam speaks it back to dean a lot in the early seasons, but that’s because sam and dean are 1. practically two halves of the same person 2. FREAKS. every time we get an episode that involves outsider POV is devoted to them going “what the fuck is WRONG with them?”

enter castiel. technically speaking, the show implies that angels are omnilingual. castiel should understand every language known to man, but knowing the meaning of words doesn’t help him understand the following:

pop culture references

references to real life phenomenon

nicknames

idioms

slang

metaphors

euphemisms

sarcasm

wordplay

you get the idea.

listen to me. look me in the eyes. castiel cannot understand a single fucking word that comes out of dean’s mouth. my guy laid a hand on dean winchester in hell and immediately fell in love with him and has no fucking idea what he’s talking about ever. because not only is dean winchester’s way of speaking CLINICALLY insane, and sometimes incomprehensible even to other human beings who are not sam, castiel is an angel, and someone prone to taking things even more literally than other angels do

go back and watch and watch seasons 4-5 especially. the reason cas does so much squinting and head tilting is because every time dean opens his mouth castiel has to open up his mental “dean winchester dictionary” and translate entire paragraphs on the fly, because again, dean never shuts up!

what makes this extra hilarious to me is this gem:

this line is from 5.13. at this point cas has known dean for AN ENTIRE YEAR AND A HALF. what you see here is my guy SNAPPING. cas made an EFFORT in this scene. he asked who glenn close was. he’s telling dean that he can’t understand him. he is doing his level best to have a normal conversation with this guy he has a crush on and for the life of him he cannot do it (equal but opposite energy to cas blowing up the gas station and motel room in 4.01, tbh)

yes, cas can understand dean’s tone. he can use context clues, and he usually gets the general idea. and when cas DOES understand dean’s jokes, he laughs at them. the first time we ever see him smile is during their 4.07 heart-to-heart when dean says “it was a witch, not the tet offensive.” since cas has knowledge of human history, he knows what the tet offensive is; he got the joke, and he laughed.

but as far as actual dialogue goes, he consistently struggles to keep up. even after metatron gives castiel the pop culture knowledge in season 9, cas struggles to put it to put it to proper use (dean: “you wanna just walk right into the death star?” cas: “what does a fictional battle station have to do with this?”). whenever he asks dean to clarify it’s always when he’s most annoyed, like most of the time he knows it would be futile but he’s too annoyed to care. (dean: “i don’t know who’s on first, what’s on second!” cas: “what IS second???”) i’m pretty sure he spends seasons 4-6 wanting to shake dean by the shoulders and ask him why he is LIKE THIS. 

it takes cas - who, again, is omnilingual - YEARS to begin to acclimate to dean’s speech and start speaking that language back to him. it’s season 8 before we start really hearing him use slang, season 9 before he begins to understand wordplay, season 10 before he starts using pop culture references (to other angels, who immediately fail to understand him, which disappoints him immensely), and season 11 before he really gets into metaphors. i don’t remember what season he started using “yeah” instead of “yes” but i do know it took a really damn long time. 

and honestly, i don’t think cas truly got the hang of it until at least season 11-12. that’s something like 7 or 8 YEARS. it’s more than half the time they’ve known each other at the point of the series finale. 

so what’s true romance, fellas? it’s falling completely and totally in love with the most inexplicable person you will ever meet in your whole 4.5 billion year life, even though you have yet to understand a single thing he’s ever said to you. thank you for coming to my ted talk

Guys, this caused feeelings in me... Why?

HELLO??? THEY JUST PULLED THE SEXIEST KISS EVER???? HELLO?????

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.)

Tl;dr: i lik muvi
