You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

everyone wants cas to have a cat for whatever reason but you guys have forgotten that the only time that man interacted with a cat he was yelling at it about cartoon murders in a town, and he seemed VISIBLY distressed by the number of cat photos online. he's not getting a cat. there is some kind of animal kingdom rivalry going on there. dean, however? idiot. will ignore allergies. generally is lonely and shit. likes cas and misses him when he's in the other room like a crazy person. very likely to see a cat with blue eyes that tilts his head and go awww. reminds me of cas. and bring it home. which is now a warzone btw. all day every day cas and the cat are just doing psychic warfare with each other and dean's just sitting in the kitchen oblivious, happy, and he scratches the underside of the cat's chin to pet him and cas is so mad he sets the oven on fire.

Since Santa decided not to give me a camera for Christmas, I'm going to draw my own photos (I've been on this for almost 4 hours..)
Merry Christmas to everyone! @tacofuus @xmajordumps @bamsara @asmodeauxx
Each of these AUs belongs to their respective artist, take a look at them, they are perfect
(individual close-ups under the cut)
(for artists: if you want the version without watermark you can DM me)

Everyday I fight the urge of writing a destiel fic where everything is the same but Dean has a baby girl (the mother didn't want to be involved cause they were both young, like 24 maybe.) So Dean is like "well I guess I'm gonna parent this child now" and yeah he raised Sam and he did the best job he could with the circumstances they were given, but something about this little girl makes Dean wanna cry everytime he looks at her and thinks how he doesn't know how to give her a better life.
Anyway she would be two at the first season and Dean would put her hair up in silly hairstyles and Sam just has to reset himself when he enters the impala during the first episode and there is just baby stuff on the back seat.
When Cas shows up the baby gets attached to him really fast and Cas, who has never interacted with a baby before, holds her by the back of her clothes like she is a kitten.

so the poll was a mix of 'yes make them kiss' and the secret third thing
this is like passionate wild kissing with Tongue to me. it may not have the explicit gesture itself but this mere concept fucks me up worse than kissing. It's like I was looking at something I shouldn't be looking at the entire time I was making this. It felt like I was intruding on a private moment

Anyway tattooist Whitney doing an extensive piece on a sensitive area, like your knee, or wrist and you can't help but cry because it hurts. Meanwhile Whitney just gets a hard on while tears fall down your face and he digs in the needle a bit more

okay listen man. listen. i was gonna make a big formal epic post but i feel like this gets explained constantly by everybody and yet the point is still constantly missed by even some of the same people who explain it
the entire point of mike’s character is that we are supposed to be in his shoes. mike is the odd one out. mike is the one who doesn’t fit in the supernatural storyline. but he doesn’t fit in with society either. he has nowhere he feels like he belongs.
so many people around him fit in with society. they can be accepted there — they can be cool and have value there. mike can’t. mike doesn’t fit in with society because he’s gay. it’s a very real, very human problem for us. mike will never fit in with society because of how they view him, so he’s always turned to fantasy and comics because he thinks he can fit in there only to find out he can’t
he finally gets to live a real life comic book with super heroes and dark villains only to find out he isn’t the main character he thought he would be. he doesn’t have el’s powers (superman) or even nancy’s ability to gather informaion (louis lane) so where does he fit? he views el as this unreal, amazing superhero he always wanted to be as a kid because then it would be okay for him to not fit in. if he couldn’t be that, then at least he could be someone who doesn’t fit in with society but fits in with superheroes, right?
but it doesn’t work like that. even further than just el or nancy, he can’t be brave like will or strong like lucas or smart like dustin — he doesn’t see how much he adds to the story because he’s constantly just watching. nobody ever tells him how important he is.
the entire point of mike’s story is learning that he doesn’t have to fit in anywhere to be good. he doesnt have to fit society’s standards or be some superhero or fit in with hellfire (ex: dressing like eddie). he doesn’t have to fit in at all and he can still be good.
mike is ugly. mike is queer. mike doesn’t have superpowers and he won’t ever be popular. and none of that matters, because what makes him special doesn’t fit in any sort of standard or expectation — its that he never stops trying. he never gives up. mike will fight till the day he dies for the people he loves and that is what makes him special. he will take people by the hand and drag them out of the dark. he will keep giving people a reason to fight and keep fighting when they’re done.
mike is special because of how he loves. he’s not worthy because of any sort of idea of speciality. it’s his qualities that make him special and them alone. he just needs to learn to love those parts of himself in order to really, truly become the person he wants to be. he needs to stop wishing he were like lucas or nancy or el and start just loving and being himself.
every time we hype mike up or talk him down, we are like him too. we can be who we want to be if we start loving and being ourselves instead of reaching for these unattainable goals set by both the normal people AND the freaks.
that’s the point of mike’s character.
