This. All of this. Crying clapping rn!!!!!!!
everyone celebrating india's mission to the moon's south pole i love you and im with you but this is NOT india's first accomplishment in space!! im seeing a lot of people saying that but its not true. some other things we've done:
confirm the presence of water and ice on the moon
was the first asian nation to reach mars orbit, and the first nation IN THE WORLD to reach it in it's maiden attempt
saved thousands of lives from cyclone phailin in 2013 over the four days, resulting in 45 deaths when without them, would have been in the thousands at minimum
launched the first successful flight using the indigenous cryogenic engine
successfully neutralized a satellite in space with an anti-satellite (mission shakti, anyone?)
launched 104 satellites with one (1) rocket
THE VIKAS ENGINE??? HELLO?? NAMBI NARAYANAN??? even if you didnt know him before, surely youve seen the movie rocketry?
not to mention everything we've done in coordination with other nations, and achievements from Indian scientists and astronauts that were then taken by other nations, usually during war. plus, we've always been much more cost efficient than our space-faring peer nations
all to say!! we've always been there, and we've always been strong. our mission now only proves that, and we should scream it loud and proud for any westerner who ignores us again
Yes.

Hey is the build a bear employee supposed to force us to jump up and down or are we getting hazed
No, what???? The original brought me down... Rumi my genius, we've done you dirty.
every single day i think about how horribly rumi’s poems have been translated from persian into english & how they’ve been turned from gorgeous poems abt islamic spirituality into these… pithy vapid little quotes that white people post as instagram captions. white scholars & translators straight-up falsified and misrepresented the essential themes of and islamic mysticism inherent to his work in favor of turning it into easy-to-consume love poetry & it never fails to make me angry
Yes.
i just. i really need to know right now. there’s so much hate in the world, i need to know who’s safe. also if you can’t reblog this feel free to block me <3 i hope i never interact with you ever in my life
This is the only description of Castiel I wholeheartedly accept. Oh yes I do.
1. In his true form, he probably looks something like this:
These nice looking fellas here are angels, as described in Ezekiel 10:14. They’re said to be massive in size (hence the Chrysler building remark) with at least six wings and four faces.
When asked, Misha said that Castiel’s four faces consist of a lion, a zebra, (unsurprisingly) a sock monkey, and (even less surprisingly) a cat. No wonder he likes cats so much – he’s literally part cat himself. They are his people.
2. He wasn’t just a “random foot soldier.”
I see Cas described this way in a lot of fanfics, and it never fails to irk me. For one thing, Cas isn’t just some run-in-the-mill, middle-class angel: he’s a seraph. According to the Christian angelic hierarchy, this is the highest-ranking and most powerful form of angel.
Here are two of them guarding the Divine Throne, literally placing the Seraphim closest to God on the Biblical hierarchy.
“Attending Him were the mighty Seraphim, each with six wings.” (Isaiah 6:2)
Not only that, even among the Seraphim, Cas has always been exceptional: he was the leader of his own garrison, and charismatic enough to establish leadership among the angels, leading a rebellion first against an archangel (Raphael), and then against “God” (Metatron), even after he’d already established himself as a dangerous and unpredictable figure in the other angels’ eyes.
In short, he is a legitimately terrifying force of nature. Fear him.
3. He’s actually incredibly smart.
In “fanon,” it seems to be an increasingly common trope to depict Cas as a helpless, incompetent child with no life skills, completely dependent on the Winchesters for protection. This makes very little sense, considering he not only has eons of military experience, but he’s strategically brilliant.
Case in point: remember that time he took out a room full of angels by carving an Enochian Sigil into his chest?
Or the time he hid from heaven for months on end in an eerily similar cluster of chain restaurants, while simultaneously hiding an angel tablet under his skin?
Or the time he escaped from the angelic equivalent of the Overly Attached Girlfriend by buckling his seat belt and crashing them into a ditch?
Even as a human, he was incredibly resourceful, getting masking symbols tattooed onto his skin, and ultimately killing at least three full-fledged angels, completely without the use of his own powers.
It’s also important to note that in this season, he also proved himself to be able to function as a hunter without Sam or Dean’s assistance.
Even his most ill-advised decisions were actually completely logic based: his deal with Crowely was made in order to defeat Raphael and stop a second apocalypse (which he actually did), and his most recent “deal with the devil” was made in order to defeat Amara, which even Sam subsequently acknowledged to be their only option.
So don’t be a Metatron: “mentally deficient puppy” vibes aside, Castiel is no idiot.
4. Even as angels go, he’s extremely unusual.
Another thing that bothers me is that I often see Cas’s eccentricities attributed to his species: his enduring social awkwardness, refusal to wear anything but a suit and trench coat, off-beat, understated sense of humor, and Aspergers-y inability to catch social cues, perceive sarcasm, or express emotions (despite being one of the few angels to actually have them to begin with) are often attributed to being standard characteristics of the angelic race.
But let’s have a look at some of the other angels we know. Do we ever really see them do any of this? At all?
And before you attribute this to the fact that Cas has less experience on Earth, take a look at the other angel who hasn’t been exposed to humanity in quite a few eons:
Bottom line is, Cas isn’t just “weird” by human standards. As an entity, he is singularly odd.
God (literally) made him and threw away the mold.
5. Jokes aside, there is virtually no way he’s heterosexual.
I can’t help but find debates over angelic sexual preference within the fandom to be slightly ridiculous. While ninety percent of the fandom enthusiastically screams, “He’s gay!” there is a small percentage that firmly insists he’s straight as an arrow. Roughly two percent of the fandom claims he’s pan or ace, which honestly are the only sexuality headcanons I find logical.
Because, not to make anyone uncomfortable, but Castiel isn’t a guy – he isn’t even technically a “he:” Angels are canonically WITHOUT GENDER. This means that while he obviously does experience sexual (or at least emotional) attraction, it would make absolutely no sense for him to be attracted to women exclusively. He physically *cannot* be straight.
Keeping this in mind, it also makes scenes like these even more suggestive (if that’s even possible):
Seriously, for those of you wearing your heterosexuality goggles, just imagine Cas had a female vessel. Then imagine just how “platonic” these scenes would look.
I'd watch the hell outta this, btw.
But I'm gonna be happy that I'm finally following the right people, or that I've finally reached into the depths of this website.

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

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.

I know this is far from the main problem, but Gaiman and Palmer having a young and poor woman watch their child for days without paying her a single cent is so fucked up.
