Ok y’all brace yourselves cuz I just learned about a new animal
Yes, that is an animal. Yes, scientists refer to it as the purple sock worm. No, that’s not it’s real name, silly, it’s real name is Xenoturbella!
When these deep-sea socks were first discovered, no one knew what the fuck they were looking at (and, really, can you blame them?). They have no eyes, brains, or digestive tracts. They are literally just a bag of wet slop. DNA analysis initially seemed to indicate that they were related to mollusks, until the scientists realized that DNA sample was from the clams they had recently eaten (yes, they can eat with no organs. We don’t know how.)
Scientists then analyzed the data again and tentatively placed them in the group that includes acorn worms, saying that their ancestors probably had eyes, brains, and organs, but simplified as a response to their deep sea ecosystems.
Later DNA testing has since shown that they are their own thing! Xenoturbella, along with another simple and problematic to place creature called acoelomorphs, belong to their own phylum called Xenacelomorpha! This places them as the sister group to all bilateral animals. So, they just never evolved brains, eyes, or organs. They are a glimpse at a very primitive form of animal that never bothered to change, because apparently what they do works. Rock on, purple sock worm.

I've said it before, but I will never be over the fact that there are casual viewers of Supernatural in Latin American who live their lives knowing that Dean reciprocated Cas' love because they saw it on their TV.
They're not involved in fandom so they don't know the controversy it caused.
That's just the world they live in, the world where canonically Cas loves Dean and Dean loves Cas just as much because they said so with their words.

Jensen Ackles has my undying love for looking at the trash spn finale, noping straight out of it, founding his own production company, immediately writing a fix it fic with a self insert arc and then putting it on screen for public consumption. Genuinely unhinged behavior but by god you have to respect his audacity.

i know that misha loves castiel or whatever but he’s nowhere near the deranged level of adoration that jackles has for dean. like he would never throw a birthday party for castiel with cas’s favorite food and drink and wear a party hat while the cast of his show sings happy birthday to him and then he blows out the candles. all on the same night where the show he created that’s basically a fix-it fic by now resurrects his character. i cannot believe that out of the two of them misha’s the normal one about this
