Friend stuck in like 2004 said that she dislikes goths and similar subcultures because they're all depressed and their music sucks so I think I am authorized to put in our playlist for tomorrow's car ride as many songs by joy division, Bauhaus, the cure, sister of mercy and a few others as I can

#unfortunately i have to avoid eastern european post punk since i fear it would bring the conversation to the war. #and I don't know them still enough ti speak about politics #personal #to be fair i should put more emo stuff too. i dont think she can tell the difference anyway #girl thought light my fire was made by pink floyd

@luminescent-chorus tagged me to respond to the following. Thanks friend! I know it's not Wednesday, but hey, we need our Wincest fix between Wednesdays too, right? :)

Happy Wincest Wednesday! I have a few questions for people to answer. Feel free to answer them all or just one (or none at all) even if you’re not tagged!

what song describes samdean the most?

if spn was set in europe, what country would the Winchesters be from? What language/languages would they speak?

This is such an interesting question to think about! The possibilities that first come to mind are: Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Poland. On a superficial level, this is probably because Sam and Dean look Anglo-Saxon, and these countries have climes and landscapes not too dissimilar from damp Vancouver, where the series is filmed. But there are some cultural reasons, too.

First, Ireland/Scotland: (ignoring for now that supposedly the BMOL made hunting in the British Isles obsolete) There's a ruggedness to parts of the countryside and, stereotypically, to its working class inhabitants, that I think fits John and Dean quite well. It's easy to imagine young Dean being (or rather, posturing as) one of those mad lads at the pub, you know what I mean? While Sam went off to Dublin or even, God forbid, London, for school. I could maybe even see them being from Wales or Northern England--I could imagine Dean with a Mancunian accent. And when he picks up Sam from school, Sam's developed this posher, southern accent that starts slipping the longer he's on the road with Dean. This AU opens up a whole rabbit hole to explore: is Dean a bit of a chav? Or is he, in his anachronistic way, more of a skinhead (in the original British, not neo-Nazi sense)? Is he more into punk than classic rock? Aesthetically, it could make sense, but did John listen to that? And what does it mean for Sam to consciously distance himself from that?--etc.

Germany/Poland: the blue-collar aesthetic is intrinsic to spn, and it's interesting to me to think of that in an Eastern Bloc context. If they were German, they'd be from the East. Their childhood was spent behind the Iron Curtain, and part of escaping that life, for Sam, would be going west, maybe to Munich or even (*gasp*) Paris. Dean's romanticization of the past would be tied up with Ostalgie. Maybe they drive a Trabi, or a Polski Fiat 126p (lol). Would we get gopnik/dresiarz tracksuit-wearing Dean (bigger lol)? Or maybe he idolizes and emulates icons of Western pop culture (a precious commodity for him growing up) just as much as in canon. Maybe he loves "Eastern/Red Westerns" and Bruce Springsteen. As far as languages go, I imagine hunting would take them across borders all the time, so they'd both have a working knowledge of several Central European and Slavic languages. Dean's English would be learned entirely from pop culture and would reflect that, while Sam's would be much more academic. Sam would speak much better French than Dean (and than canon Sam *cough*) and probably Italian, Spanish, and Greek as well.

if they didn’t have the impala, what car would they drive?

is there a project you’re working on currently? Do you have a line or sketch from it to share?

I am currently working on a multi-chapter post-15x19 thriller! He's an excerpt:

What it comes down to is that he’s Dean fucking Winchester, and he should’ve known that would catch up with him sooner than later. Not because of the enemies he’s made, but because he wasn’t built for good things. He’d let himself forget that. Because he and Sam beat God and saved the world, and for a moment it’d felt like they had a new lease on life, and they got a dog for Christ’s sake because the worst was supposed to be behind them and they were finally free—what a joke. Freedom doesn’t mean the good life. Freedom is just a nice sounding way of saying that the rug can be pulled out from under you at any moment and you’ll never find a satisfactory answer why, because there are no rules, no guiding principles, no divine design behind your suffering.

what’s the first fanfic for supernatural you’ve written? Did you publish it? Or if you don't write: what's the first fanfic you remember reading?

is there another codependent/enmeshed duo from a different fandom you enjoy? Are there parallels to Sam and Dean?

Dennis and Dee Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Rick and Morty. Both of these duos have a considerably less healthy dynamic than Sam and Dean, but I think disentangling themselves from each other would be just as unthinkable as for the Winchesters. They also all have an element of "this person knows me better than anyone else, and we've shared experiences no one else could possibly understand."

what type of wincest dynamic do you currently enjoy most? (sexual, platonic, dark, fluffy, early seasons, etc.)

Mostly sexual (especially developing feelings), usually somewhere between dark and fluffy (bittersweet, melancholy, or hard-earned happiness), and often pre-canon or post-15x19.

These were fun! I tag @flownwrong, @mannequin3thereckoning, @thegoodthebadandtheart, @zmediaoutlet, @flashbulb-memory, and @nigeltde-fic, if you feel like it :)

[mariacallous]

sorry if this is too broad a question but do you have any recommendations of books/general literature about Eastern European history/politics (like fall of USSR-now)? i'm realising with keeping up with the war in Ukraine i don't know nearly enough about Eastern Europe (esp for a western leftist). I know you really like Slavenka Drakulić's work so I thought you might know of some others in that area. i'm sorry if you've been asked this before/it's too much bother + thank you in advance! <3

Oh, I'm always happy to answer this question/provide book recommendations, so no worries :)

Apart from Slavenka Drakulić's work, I would say the following, off the top of my head and looking at my bookshelves:

Anything by Anna Politkovskaya

Black Square: Adventures in Post-Soviet Ukraine by Sophie Pinkham (this one would be interesting now considering it came out not too long after Maidan and the Crimea and other annexations)

Putin Country: A Journey into the Real Russia by Anne Garrels

Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and then Took On The West by Catherine Belton

The Impossible Country: A Journey Through the Last Days of Yugoslavia by Brian Hall

In Europe's Shadow by Robert D. Kaplan (and, tentatively, his Balkan Ghosts, just because there's both some skew and quite a bit of stereotyping)

The Balkans by Misha Glenny

The Future is History by Masha Gessen (and really, any of their books, tbh)

Belarus: The Last European Dictatorship by Andrew Wilson

Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation by Laura Silber and Allen Little

The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the Age of Fake News by Arkady Ostrovsky

Unequal under Socialist: Race, Women, and Transnationalism in Bulgaria by Miglena S. Todorova

All The Kremlin's Men by Mikhail Zygar

Between East and West: Across the Borderlands of Europe and Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism by Anne Applebaum

Dancing Bears: True Stories of People Nostalgic for Life Under Tyranny by Witold Szabłowski

The Taste of Ashes: The Afterlife of Totalitarianism in Eastern Europe by Marci Shore

Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich

Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall by Tim Mohr

The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine by Serhii Plokhy

Orbanland: Why Viktor Orbán's Hungary Matters by Lasse Skytt

Black Sea: Dispatches and Recipes, Through Darkness and Light by Caroline Eden

The Magic Lantern: The Revolution of '89 Witnessed in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, and Prague by Timothy Garton Ash

And then anything my mutuals/followers would recommend, of course.

not to be the 'just bc it isnt offensive to me personally as an individual member of a community it means its not offensive in general' person but like

i saw the post abt dj crazytimes being ableist which i checked his content and like yep its as bad and obvious as described. but then the addition to it by the literal YANK saying its xenophobic to make fun of eurodance having broken english is so wild to me like. yes cultural stereotypes against eastern europeans are v pervasive and often left unquestioned bc of leftover cold war propaganda yada yada. and arguably the fact that the original crazytimes sketches always mention eastern europe even tho a lot of those eurodance producers were from like sweden or especially germany is kind of dodgy, sure

that said, i genuinely dont think its xenophobic to make fun of these songs having broken english bc like. they genuinely did, in a funny and charming way. in the same way early max martin (britney, nsync, backstreet boys) makes NO sense - like wtf does 'tell me why / i never wanna hear you say / i want it that way' even MEAN. but then when the english is broken its almost even more poignant. like if u think abt it for a second 'what is love?' does not actually make sense in the context of the song but it goes so hard precisely bc its such a wild broken-english question. and stuff like "i still hear your voice when you sleep next to me" that raises more questions than it gives answers (is the person sleeping and therefore unable to talk? or are they gone but they used to talk in their sleep?) actually functions even more as a hook bc of how weird it is

idk if i just find non-english-speaking songwriters and singers fun and endearing (i love when you can tell guy-man is singing certain bits in daft punk songs bc u can hear his french accent even thru the robotic filters) but i genuinely dont think the song itself is xenophobic in that way? i wont even talk abt how the mention of 90s eurovision specifically is kind of silly from that one person and clearly shows they dont know the trope dj crazytimes is referencing, but like even without being v aware of eurodance in general, i think we can probably detach the real, bad, silly superiority complex of native english speakers when they hear foreigners try to talk in english (you speak one LESS language beloveds) from the fun of seeing words be used in odd, novel ways

#was gonna just rant in my easteuro friends dms but shes asleep so here we are #is this the battle i wanna b having? no #do i actually want MORE ppl to b aware of the shittiness of anti-easteuro xenophobia? yeah #that says i have a gremlin in my brain that makes me argue against things i perceive to b wrong w no exceptions #i dont think i wanna actually tag it tho

[takingaridewithmybestfriend]

quietly creating a theory around the coincidence that so many of us who are eastern european/descended from eastern european immigrants love post-punk/goth/etc. because like...look at what our people have gone thru...ya feel?

#personal #does this make sense #also this theory is influenced by an article my students had to read #hmm hmm #i'm only 1/4 polack so y'all lmk if you think i'm way off lol

[endofbeginning]

Don’t know why this 80s New Wave spotify mix has a sprinkling of 2010s eastern european post punk but im not complaining

#and i truly mean a Sprinkling just one or two songs… why no motorama tho😢 i haven’t listened to them in so long actually omg

[mmm-asbestos]

does metal listen to dubstep, quirky electronic / dance, or metal? or some other genre do u think

Minecraft song parodies from 2012-2015 specifically and eastern european post punk

[jorisjurgen]

ok i finally figured it all out. xion likes vocaloid music about depression and suicide. roxas likes eastern european post-punk doomer music about society. and axel liked nirvana as a teenager and IS a rock fan but then very quickly after getting resurrected becames a breakcore fan to cope with Xion's and Roxas's deaths and cries every night to stuff like "Gorefuck Extreme /yanderecore playlist/"

#ro.txt #new take just dropped. #im just saying words by now. #im a fan of all music genres on this post. this is said with love

[waterlogged-corpse]

what kind of music do you like? can you list your 5 favorite artists?

i like breakcore/dnb, vaporwave, maidcore, eastern european post punk and jazz

as for artists, i cant name a lot, but i rlly love sewerslvt n permsky kray
