Changing Channels as gay dean propaganda. After Gabriel I guess sees Dean watching Dr. Sexy, somehow knows Dean likes Dr. Sexy, AND after Gabriel sees just how Dean reacts to his Dr. Sexy and sees that Dean’s crush is so legit as to break the illusion and help Dean uncover Gabriel, Gabriel– as his torture meant to break them– scripts Dean into a sitcom scene version of Supernatural where he’s hooked up with a random woman in a bikini. This is Supernatural as a tv show written by Gabriel within Chuck’s universe, so it’s essentially a parody of the most shallow read of the show possible. And while Dean’s reaction to Dr. Sexy was entirely unscripted and real, a true act of his free will, his encounter with the woman in the motel room is entirely forced, scripted by an angel, and fake.

WOMAN But we did do work! In depth.

Laugh track. DEAN waves at her as she leaves. SAM shuts the door and shakes his head. DEAN speaks through a forced smile.

DEAN How long do we have to keep doing this?

And it’s torture, and it's so interesting that this in particular is torture, because it's not like getting shot or slapped or strapped to a machine to get hit in the balls, it's just a dollhouse version of Chuck’s bigger universe, endlessly playing their parodistic roles that Gabriel has assigned to them.

And then Dean, in another genuine act of free will, goes on to figure out the Trickster is an angel because of Cas’s literally disrupting the plan by breaking into the fake, scripted Supernatural™ where Dean is scripted to act as if he's had sex with a random hot woman, and Dean figures it out because he can read Cas and knows him and can tell that he knows Gabriel just by seeing how he looks at him.

#elle i am eating this post as a tasty midnight snack thank you #here i was foolishly thinking i'd already peeled back all the layers of this episode and then you showed up with the steel... peeler #because goddamn you're absolutely right that the shallow phony bikini woman bit is TORTURE for him #dollhouse version of chuck's universe is the perfect way of putting it honestly #performing dean #on some level i am always deanposting #fandom: supernatural

#almost always & not an american #i suspect understanding him has less to do with being from the us (who export literally all media and music everywhere anyway) #and more to do with being in a particular age range #and being into particular movies/bands/genres #the only thing i remember not getting was when he used the name lemmy kilmister #because i never knew lemmy of metallica's last name #and he used it during the MoC arc iirc #so it just seemed like an extremely on the nose name like “LET ME KILL MISTER” lmao #which i assume it also was #but yeah i didn't recognize the name because i was not a metallica fan. honestly i always thought metallica were kind of overrated 😅 #like poser metal lmao #the one music-taste disagreement i would ever have with dean winchester i suspect #i saw them live at a music festival about 20 years ago & they were just very meh & boring so i ended up going to check out a different stag #also i just googled to see exactly when the festival was and it was not 'like' 20 years ago it was in fact EXACTLY 20 years ago hoo boy #cass says things #fandom: supernatural #EDIT: #OH MY GOD mittens has just reminded me (again -- she's reminded me before) #that lemmy isn't even in metallica he's in motorhead #which goes to show how much that dude's name just refuses to stick in my head #i have no strong opinions about motorhead tbh i like a handful of songs but never really got into them #i stand by my metallica opinions as irrelevant as they may be lmao

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

#honestly when i first saw this bit of news several days ago i cried twice #first because i got overwhelmed by the skill and effort of everyone involved and was just plain impressed to the point of tears #and then again because i went to text the link to my dad #because i guess for the five minutes i spent reading this article i forgot that he was gone #and i was so excited to show him this cool space thing #because i always share cool space or science things with him unless he shares them with me first #and man it fucking broke me #anyway sorry for oversharing in the tags #something something we are all made of stars etc

there are some internet friends where eventually you start calling them by their real name and then there’s times where its like nah son your name is crispy forever

#this post is about mittens my good friend mittens #the rare occasions on which i've used her real name have been WEIRD like who the fuck is that #as if her real name is strange (it's not) and MITTENS is a regular thing to call a human being (it's not) #cass says things
