I'm so crazy for dean being pulled out of perdition AND LITERALLY BEING BRANDED BY CASTIEL (branded) ((he left a scar)) (((he LEFT A BRANDED SCAR))) because castiel had to literally RIP Dean out of hells grasp. That had literally never been done before. Heaven had never ripped someone from hell before. And they sent Castiel. WHICH HAD A HIGH RATE OF KILLING HIM BECAUSE THEY HAD NEVER RAISED SOMEONE FROM HELL BEFORE. THIS WAS ALMOST A SUICIDE MISSION. CASTIEL RAISED DEAN AND WAS WILLING TO DIE IF IT MEANT RAISING DEAN. I know that it mostly has to do with his loyalty and devotion to Heaven and God— also the fact that Dean was Michael’s only human vessel… but still.

Even without a Destiel perspective, nothing matches the pure determination that Castiel had to serve Heaven. His devotion was beautiful all in itself, and the conflict and dilemma’s he had as he found himself beginning to care for Dean— the human that he was only supposed to supervise, to make sure that Michael got his vessel. He had a job, he was going to stick through it— at least he wanted to. He wanted to so badly. But!! His love for Dean was stronger!! He betrayed Heaven for DEAN!! multitudes of times, at that!!

Castiel himself says this during his fights with Dean, too. [ s5e18. ] As he’s holding Dean up against a wall, nothing but rage within him, he tells Dean through gritted teeth; “I rebelled for this?! So that you could surrender to them? I gave everything for you. And this is what you give to me.”

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. THIS IS WHAT YOU GIVE TO ME?? DEAN?? THIS IS WHAT YOU GIVE TO ME?? AFTER EVERYTHING I GAVE UP FOR YOU?? AGHHHHHHHH PUT ME DOWWNNN

The fact that Cas gave up everything for the man he loves proves that he's the most dangerous mofo out there.

Period.

castiel being described as a 'seriously bad mofo' in lazarus rising is so funny when you find out that he basically gave up everything for gay love just to be sentenced to superhell

mf was 'seriously down bad'

Michelle: He did it for me. Dean: Michelle, this gonna be very hard. But you will be okay. And eventually, eventually you'll get back to normal. Michelle: No I won't. They said I could leave… an hour ago. But where am I even supposed to go? After everything we survived together… I watched the man I love die. There's no normal after that.

Dean Winchester listened to Taylor Swift regularly when Sammy wasn't around and he was an avid Swiftie. Change my mind. Wait. You can't 😤

Let's talk about Taemin and Key of SHINee wearing the Scottish fashion house Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, an openly queer unisex brand. There’s a lot of talk about whether idols know who they are wearing and, when relevant, do they understand the meaning of what they are wearing. We know there are clear examples of artists not understanding what they’re wearing. Indeed, 23-year-old, non-English-speaking Taemin admitted in 2021 that he had no idea the fly of his pants read “Open Here” during View era. Yet, a lot has changed this 2015/16. Taemin’s English is quite proficient. And what about Key, who has studied English since he was a child? I think we can consider understanding the words and understanding the context or broader meaning behind words or, as the case may be, symbols, which can be universal.

Taemin in the Advice album photobook, 2021.

The Charles Jeffrey Loverboy brand is no ordinary brand. It’s a spunky, fun and edgy unisex brand with genuine British flavour. From London Fashion Week's write up:

"Looking back to look forward, the collections re-render historical references as intrinsically modern while paying respect to an ancestral line-up of costumiers, performance artists and queer icons. Jeffrey’s nightlife-influenced thirst for experimentation, and belief in the validity of mistakes, result in a colourful tension between control and chaos.

"LOVERBOY’s roots are fixed in London’s queer nightlife scene, having been born in 2014 as both a fashion label and a cult club night. The LOVERBOY parties, first staged while Jeffrey was studying for his Masters in fashion design at Central St Martins in London, were attended by the city’s up-and-coming artists, performers, musicians, drag queens and poets, many of whom became Jeffrey’s future muses and creative collaborators."

Live performance of Advice, 2021.

The tartan in these looks is known as the loverboy tartan. In the current collection, they have an “odorable” loverboy tartan raincoat with giant floppy bunny ears. I’m too lazy to link it, but do look it up and peruse the punk-meets-whimsy items on the website.

Taemin’s stylist for Advice was Kim Wook. You can read an interview with Kim Wook in translation here. Wook talks about he and Taemin wanting to do something impactful before Taemin entered the military, and they settled on working with silhouettes that are usually seen on female dancers. I could do a whole post on Taemin’s styling for Advice (maybe I will!), but to connect things back to the brand at hand, the flamboyantly unisex Loverboy brand seems to be at home with the goal of Advice’s styling. Advice was Taemin’s way of saying “I will go my own way and trust myself over others,” and I don’t think the androgynous or even gender-fluid looks he presented are a coincidence; Wook’s interview shows that it isn’t. These looks feel like a push forward for Taemin, and he’s been clear in saying Advice was a breakaway from his past. Act I and Act II were leading to this moment.

Taemin has been wearing Charles Jeffery Loverboy upon in return in 2023. I think the most significant choice is the non-binary shirt he wore a fan meeting during Hard era. The t-shirt is a jab at conservatives’ obsession with the love lives and indeed, bathroom usage, of LGBT+, saying, “They’re happy and satisfied. Are you?” There is a also a good-sized, unmistakable non-binary symbol on the shirt. I hadn’t seen this symbol before but it was still easy for me to comprehend. As an artist who is increasingly wearing gender-fluid outfits, it is likely a conscious choice to wear a shirt that supports non-binary rights.

Now, we can’t forget fashion-forward, English king Key in all of this. Key has always had a love and fascination with fashion; we saw in One Fine Day his interaction with a local London fashion brands. He’s a man who knows his fashion houses, so it seems unlikely he wouldn’t know about the Loverboy brand or its ethos as a unisex brand.

Key primarily wore Charles Jeffrey Loverboy accessories for his Gasoline promotions in 2022. The adorable hat with ears is statement wrapped in cuteness, that speaks to the camp motif present in both Key’s body of work and the Loverboy label’s. It’s cute, but not too cute. It’s loud but soft, and the Loverboy stamp is there for all to see. I think that Key embodies what LSF wrote about the Lovery label as “a colourful tension between control and chaos.” Key is never afraid to experiment, and he can go from creating iconic androgynous silhouettes reminiscent of ancient gods and Beyoncé to the retro-camp shown below that almost looks like it could be at home in a Ghostbusters film. Almost.

There are contexts where, like the above, it is more than reasonable to assume that the artists understand what they are wearing and that the choices made are conscious and in some cases made with the goal of the comeback in mind. And there are situations where it’s possible or even confirmed by the artist that they didn’t know what they were wearing or what it meant. I think it can become an obsession for some to want the styling to be conveying a secret code. With the case of Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, there’s no code and it’s not secret. It’s simply known and recognised by those who know, which is enough.
