Thinking About The Time Castiel Became God And Decided One Of The First Orders Of Business Was To Kill

there is no "i love you in every universe" for destiel because there really was just one.

if i had found shiftblr first instead of shiftok, my life would be 1000000000000000000000%%% better and my traumatized ass from shiftok would be sooooooooo gratefull

I HATE U SHIFTOK

I silently hope my civics teacher has Tumblr. Today I asked her if she likes Supernatural and she does and she is in the middle of a re-watch

If you see this (insert teachers name) tell me tomorrow during class PLEASE 🙏 I am in your 4th hour class and I sit in the back two-person table

(I bet 100% she's not going to see this but whatever I wanna yap about Supernatural to her but I'm too scared 💔)

generalizations, feminism, criminology, and statistical fallacies (tw: mentions of violence, SA, abuse, misogyny)

every day I see people say that we can’t generalize by saying “men do *insert violent thing here*” but the issue is, you literally can. Most of it boils down to a lack of statistical literacy. You can certainly say that “men are more likely to commit homicide,” but that doesn’t mean you’re saying “every man is a murderer.” This is called an ecological fallacy, which is when you apply statistical conclusions that are generalizable to a population to a single individual. We know this because homicide is the most reported crime.

Likewise, I could say "higher testosterone is correlated with increased aggression." However, I could not conclude that "testosterone causes men to be violent," even though cis men on average produce more testosterone, because everyone produces testosterone, regardless of their sex. Additionally, we know there are other contributing factors when committing acts of violence like age, intellectual ability, and socioeconomic status. This is called a reductionist fallacy, which is when you attribute a multifactorial issue to a singular cause. (could also be a causal fallacy)

Finally, I could say that "I was abused by a woman," but that does not mean I could then say that "all women are abusers" because that is not backed by statistical evidence. This is a hasty generalization, which is when you apply individual experiences or a small sample to a broader population.

Men are more likely to be perpetrators and victims of every violent crime, except for SA (though there is a “dark figure” as it’s called in the field for SA statistics due to underreporting). Women are more likely to be SAd generally, and trans individuals are the most disproportionately likely to be s*xually ab*sed. I would cite more sources (linked below), but this is a consistent fact of crime in every single criminology class I've ever taken as a current forensic psychology graduate student. Most resources you look at will mention this in some way.

I truly hate when men say “we experience this too!” but like, yes, y’all do actually, and y’all do it to each other. When you break down the statistics, men are consistently more likely to harm other men than a woman is to harm them. No matter how you twist it, patriarchy is the root of the problem. There is evidence that this gender gap is decreasing in some countries, however.

JJDHJDJBHD to you, too good sir!

fuck infantilized cas, there needs to be more weird castiel content. castiel who’s a little fucked up and unintentionally unsettling. who doesn’t blink or break eye contact. who just stares at roadkill and dead bodies they come across on hunts. give me castiel with repressed sexuality that starts expressing itself in strange ways. give me perverts by ethel cain. give me pulldrone.

he’s viewing the human experience from an unbiased standpoint. he’s a 4 dimensional being stuffed into a 3 dimensional body. he is older than humanity as a whole. Why don’t you guys make him weird?

So we all know by now that Dean canonically makes Cas watch cowboy movies with him.

Now consider that because Dean is so out of touch with pop culture and stuff that one day they’re looking for a new movie together and they see Brokeback Mountain and Dean is like “oh yeah didn’t Claire compare our Halloween costumes last year to that movie? Maybe we should watch it”

So they watch it and they both just sort of like stiffen up in their chairs and death stare the tv. And then when the movies over they just sit in silence not looking at each other for like twenty minutes before they both get up to leave at the same time and bump into each other and they do that weird little fancy thing you do when you run into someone and then they each retreat into their rooms and don’t talk or make eye contact for the next three days

If your friend is struggling, the signs might not be obvious. A cry for help can take many different forms. Try checking in on them if you hear them express any of the following sentiments:

I miss Supernatural

I should rewatch Supernatural

Supernatural was such a good show

I hope they make more Supernatural
