10 October 2023 - Friday Field Notes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fall is here. The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. Got to spend some time at one of the other offices this week. All the leaves are starting to change and I haven't seen this little lady in a while.
This bullsnake is an education animal, not a pet. I know they're cute, but wildlife needs to stay wild and should not be kept as pets.
Tumblr media
These tansy asters are some of the late blooms you'll find on the prairie. Many native flowering plants have staggered bloom cycles, some flowering plants bloom as early as Apri, if conditions are favorable, while others species bloom as late as October or November. In biodiverse rich ecosystems, you should be able to see flowers throughout the season at different times. They take turns sharing the stage. This not only reduces competition between plant species, but also allows wildlife species to utilize resources throughout the growing season. Healthy ecosystems are good at supporting all the things in it. Can you spot the bee?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Most plants out here have gone to seed though, like the sunflowers, showy milkweed, and the false boneset.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And it also means time to harvest and eat stuff. Strawbaby from the garden, a cultivated plant, and common ground cherry, found growing out on the prairie.
(@irrigone finally found some ground cherries that were ripe enough to eat! They have the consistency of a tiny grape and they kinda taste like sweet tarts candy. Not bad. Ate a couple and didn't die 👍 Would recommend as a light snack.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Exoskeleton of a plains lubber and some fringe sage. One of my fav plants out here, smells delightful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And one of my not so favorite plants (at least out here, totally cool if found in its native home range) Mullein is a biennial plant, meaning it has a two year life cycle, and it's an invasive weed in my neck of the prairie, and arguably, the rest of the Great Plains and grassland habitats in N. America. The first year it grows as a basal rosette, close to the ground. Basal plants grow from the root base as opposed to forming new tissue towards the top. Most grasses grow this way too, which is why you can mow it without killing the whole plant. Same thing with mullein. In order to make sure the plant does grow back during manual removal you have to pull up the tap root as well.
The second year they'll flower, and produce these massive flower stalks that produce hundreds of seeds. And they're all tiny. Some stalks can get up to 3-4 feet tall and produce thousands of seeds that stay viable in the ground for years. It's no wonder they get everywhere and are so hard to manage.
Invasive species can take over ecosystems if left unchecked and reduce the biodiversity and overall health of native habitats.
Tumblr media
Weed management strategies and good land stewardship practices help support wildlife. Like these pronghorn. Wildlife will stick around in habitat if they can get the resources they need to survive and thrive.
Pronghorn, often referred to as antelope, are actually more related to giraffes than antelope. They're also the second fastest land animal in the world and can reach sustained running speeds of 55mph. They prefer wide open grassland habitat.
Fall is rutting season, so all the boys have been extra feisty lately and chasing everyone around. Been getting a lot more stare downs from them lately.

How would Rise Donatello react to the fact that 2012 Donatello cannonicly built a device to help fight against ghosts and succeeded? I'm fact how would they (2018 ) react to Kavaxsas and the ghost army in general?
I'll be real. Every time I go to watch the whole Kavaxas Arc I just end up rewatching Heart Of Evil and making up AUs so I. Am not actually all that familiar with that Arc.
That being said?
Rise Donnie is impressed as hell. As far as he's concerned, 2012 Donnie should be way behind him in terms of Mystic-Based science. No Ninpo, no Mystic City, no real test subjects or anything, there's no way he can-
Huh? He made stuff that beat ghosts? he just- did he even know ghosts existed before making it? ... He believed in them but never saw- how did he believe- oh, so even though he's not very spiritually connected they were raised in a very spiritual household so he just always figured magic and ghosts and such could exist? Okay so by ghost what does he- oh he FOUGHT one! Was it a demon in solid armor that could be physically des- no? No, just- just flat out ghosts? Non-corporeal and everything?
... Did it possess one of his friends? KINDA? Well Karai possessed Apri- ... Okay, that... sounds... awful. The possession gave them hats? Really? ... Alright. That's probably the dumbest villain thing he's heard from 2012 and he's not sure if he's disappointed, or relieved that not every one of their villains is a fucking Nightmare Machine.
Anyway all in all he'd be confused, a little incredulous because I do think he'd at first consider himself like "The Superior Donnie" until 2012 is like "Yeah I make my stuff out of garbage scraps and also know how to reverse mutations and also MELT AND KILL CREEPWEED INTO NOTHING BUT PLANT GOO WITH NO MERCY WHILE LAUGHING and-" and then he'd be like "Oooooh. So what I'm hearing is... If We Work Together Literally Nothing Could Ever Stop Us Ever."
And he'd also ask to take apart any and all devices 2012 Donnie has that relate to the 2012 spiritual/mystic world and energies and such and see how they work.

New York City
March 24, 2024 I want to take a moment here to talk about a dream I had a couplish weeks ago the night before the Baltimore Bridge collapse happened (god may those souls rest in peace), along with my movie choice the night before being "Escape from New York" (1981). A synposis of this amazing film from John Carpenter's official website says:
"It is 1997 and a nearly destroyed New York City has become a walled prison for over 3 million convicted criminals who have lost, but survived, a brutal war against the United States Police Force. In this maximum security prison-city, escape has been made impossible – every bridge is mined and walled, the surrounding waters are filled with deadly electricity and the Statue of Liberty has become just another guard tower from which officers in infra-red goggles blast, on sight, any prisoners desperate enough to try to get out. Radar scanners revolve and helicopters circle the island of Manhattan endlessly. Other than the monthly food drops made by air into Central Park these outcasts are left completely on their own to prey on each other.
Into this living hell one master criminal, Snake Plissken, is sent alone on a mission as dangerous as the criminals within its walls; he must rescue the President of the United States whose plane crashes in New York City on its way to a world summit conference; the President is carrying papers that are crucial to the survival of the United States. As a deadly incentive, to prevent Snake from abandoning his rescue mission, two devices are implanted in Snake’s head, which could blow the famous crook to pieces."
I attached some screenshots with names crossed out of an Instagram chat with a friend of mine to show some timelines and whatnot of things.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This clip below is the ending scene from that movie, where the President is seen being filmed in front of the wall by the 59th Street Bridge in the movie. In the dream I had right after I went to bed this night as described in the texts above to my friend, I was in what looked like the Oval office and was about to congratulate Joe Biden on winning the election and reached out my right hand to shake hands with him. He stared blankly and didn't even acknowledge my presence. I noticed a window behind him and what looked like a bridge going over some water before I woke up in the middle of the night for some reason. By the way, I am not into politics and am not sure why I was congratulating him on winning the election, let alone why he didn't even acknowledge my presence. Hmmm.... Is this dream also some kind of strange hint about who is not going to win the US Presidential election this upcoming November?
youtube
I am aware a Ryan Garcia was said to have predicted this catastrophe a few weeks prior to this tragedy in Baltimore. In response to the allegations he made this prediction, he made this Tweet on March 27, 2024 at 10:47am: "As people know during that time when I was tweeting and writing a bunch of stuff. My tweets were constantly getting deleted and I was showing proof. I will say that it is not me who knows but God, the Holy Spirit speaking thru me. There is times I forget what I say, like I said I pray for the people effected in this tragedy in Baltimore. Half my tweets were deleted and not by my doing To God receive the Glory not me".
In this same Tweet however I read in a box saying "Readers added context" a note that says "Ryan Garcia did not predict the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD. The video contains a digitally altered tweet. You can tell by the blur near the blue checkmark and Ryan’s username. The tweet also does not contain a timestamp. tiktok.com/t/ZTLMQbjo5/ ". Not sure if this is his way of saying he did delete this Tweet or if he never made this Tweet to begin with. I did notice a screenshot scrolling down this link of a screenshot of a Tweet dated 3/6/24 From Earth at 8:25am saying "June 6 Earthquake BAD". Interestingly enough, there was an Earthquake on April 5 (yesterday) in NYC during the UNSC Meeting that took place. But I suppose we'll wait and see what happens in June ha ha. My guides always say to me "dates and times are no good" because of how divine blueprints work. What is true today may not be tomorrow when it comes to dates, times, etc.
April 3, 2024 I also came across a post earlier today from someone's Instagram story as well as seeing the same post on my own feed via another account of the Statue of Liberty being struck by lightning on April 3, 2024. The photo looks as though the lightning bolt is striking the torch and lighting it on fire.
Tumblr media
Gaza and the UNSC Meeting Interrupted in NYC
Now, let's talk about the 4.8 magnitude Earthquake that happened in NYC on April 5, 2024 that interrupted a United Nations Security Council meeting with regards to Gaza. I'm not going to get into the politics about Gaza as this is not the focus of this post here. I however feel the need to mention this in terms of how some people believe this was predicted in the Bible, although others say it was in fact other attacks. I have a feeling that if the Bible is correct about things at all that with everything going on now it is this particular attack that took place on October 31, 2023. The earthquake during a meeting that happens to interrupt a UNSC meeting about Gaza is a very noteworthy event in my opinion. Timing is everything...
youtube
I want to also take this chance to talk about a dream I had about 3 weeks prior to that residential building in central Gaza being struck by Israel via air that killed 106 people. I'm not here to talk about the politics of what's going on over in Gaza, although I do hope things deescalate soon and that those souls lost do rest in peace. The focus of this post is the dreams I had and the timing of which things have been occurring.
In this dream I had, I saw what looked like a "factory" somewhere in the desert near a cliffside. I saw some mist coming from this factory with conveyor belts and such and then approached this place closer. I saw what looked like a few "terror dogs" from Ghostbusters appearing out of the mist and eventually off the conveyor belt after it stopped moving. As strange as this may sound, I approached one of them and touched its head particularly forehead and around the muzzle and discovered it was very calm. I walked away after touching this "terror dog" or as the demons put it Hellhounds.
I then started following a couple bipedal demons with wings, darkened skin (one almost reminded me of the Jeepers Creeper monster but had more horns on its head, the other had snakes for hair a lot like Medusa) along with 2 of these "terror dogs" or Hellhounds that were walking besides these 2 demons. They were looking at me and pointing at different things telling me what different areas of the factory are and whatnot. I strangely enough didn't feel threatened by these demons but more like a welcomed guest or visitor to their factory so to speak. I heard one of them mention us being in Israel at one point. I woke up after standing by the cliff with a rock bridge going across it, and seeing what looked like a city in the distance.
It seems to me every time I have dreams pertaining to hellhounds, am made aware of hellhound activity going on somewhere, etc. something bad is going to happen near that place if not at it or what will happen involves the place somehow. I think I want to start documenting my dreams better via dream journal and perhaps start sharing my notes on here...

Original Fairytales/Twisted Au
Beta of chapter 2... ish.
Just the intro to three counterparts.
Warnings: nurses.... Terrible grammar, not pre read, ooc.
You woke up with a head splitting pain.
Your vision was a bit blurry until you re-focused, by then you were greeted to the sight of multiple of your friends in what you assume to be infirmary beds. A few were awake and being tended by nurses such as Azul, Riddle, Vil, Jack, and Trey. The rest were still sleeping.
“You’re finally awake.” Trey was the first to notice. Vil was busy talking with a nurse. Azul’s glasses were cracked and were currently being repaired by a nurse.
“Are you feeling okay?” Jack asked Yuu who looked at them blankly, trying to collect what happened and how they got here.
“I heard they were awake.” A new voice called from the infirmary’s opening. Three people.
All three seemed to be tall men. The first person had dark green hair and looked a bit like Trey. This confused the Night Raven Students. He had long hair that was tied by a white silk ribbon and his bangs were decorated by various bobby pins. His face had a clover on his right eye , although being covered by his hair, was seen visibly with white numbers on it, 12468. He carried a cart full of teacups and pots. The second was a man with mid length burgundy hair that fluffed at the ends with cold lavender-blue eyes. He looked ethereal with his facial features. The third had short platinum shade of heather hair that was slicked back but still spiked up at the ends. He wore a surgical mask with sharp judging eyes and a beauty mark near the left. He had a satchel carried on his left decorated with multiple pins and song lyrics that seemed to be printed on old torn paper.
All three had the same uniform. Grey dress shirt, silver vest, and black pants. But each had a different pin on their chest. The platinum haired man had a light purple conch, The burgundy haired man had a silver mirror, The green haired man had a playing card in the shape of a clover.
“Good evening Mother.” The platinum haired boy spoke to a nurse who smiled in response. “ Hello Dear.” She looked at the other boys, “ Narcissus,” The Burgundy haired man nodded his head. “ Apri. “ The green haired man nodded his head with a soft smile. “I’ve brought some tea on Lady Rosetta’s orders. It’s chamomile and mint to help calm them.” ‘So that’s what the stuff on the cart was for.’ Yuu thought to themself.
The lavender haired boy proceeded to pass the group of students in the infirmary and sat his stuff down at an empty table. He proceeded to put hand sanitizer and gloves on. “ My name is Ai Amphit. I just need to ask you a few light questions if you don’t mind.” He spoke with a posh-ish voice and acted like a doctor.
He began to roll over to Azul in his office chair, “How does his hair do that?” Azul was the closest person near the sleeping form of Idia. “Um,He was born like that…” Azul seemed to have mixed feelings on the boy.
While this was happening, Narcissus stood in the front of where the beds were laid while Apri ran around passing tea. “I just wanted to check on you.” Narcissus had a more velvety and gruff voice than Ai and Apri. “When Elliot and Vi explained to me what happened…”
Beds after beds after beds ran past Narcissus as he walked down the hall. The people that laid upon them wore a different uniform than Grim Academy so he assumed there was a prank played by a different school. That was until he was met with a very anxious and disturbed Vi. “What happened.” He demanded them to explain the line of students being carried to the infirmary. “People fell out of the mirror.” Vi explained looking wide eyed, “Someone used their magic?” He asked. “ No, I touched it…” Vi doesn’t have magic. Vi never did have magic. Damn, Vi couldn’t even summon a broom in Phys Ed. “So they just fell?” “Yes.” Maybe Vi did have magic….
“.. It seemed peculiar so I wanted to know what happened. Are you from a different school or some place in another world like Vi.”
‘Was that the person in the mirror?’
“AKHAK! “ Ortho suddenly sparked, “Big Brother!” He immediately ran/floated over to the unconscious Idia.
“Is… Is that a sentient robot?”
Yes Narcissus, Yes it is.

[first image was made using http://snafflez.com/horsemaker/#.YtZGSYTMJPY]
Name: Horse Nickname(s): Several. Most folks have their own name for her after learning the group settled on "Horse". Age: ~3 years Affiliation: Chain 2 Race: Horse
Horse was a racehorse once known as 8AM, but she lost a few too many races for her owner's liking (and general behavior wasn't the best) so she was sold off for a low price just to get her out of the owner's hands. She was supposedly nearing the end of her career anyway when Chain 2 picks her up. Her old owners are probably a bit miffed about losing out on profit, but at least the horse won't be costing them any more money. She's these kids' problem, now.
The closest she's got to a weapon are her hooves, but getting trampled is still painful. Her teeth are also not enjoyable to be on the receiving end of.
For some reason, she absolutely despises Sheikah. Namely, Trois. She's fine with the others, but he just strikes a nerve with her. She likes Tre the best but that's probably because he knows how to take care of a horse (what with his family having two of their own). Wild is also a strange case, what with his natural affinity towards horses not mixing well with her disdain for Sheikah (and seemingly their technology, as the champion swears he's not one of them). It does prove useful against the Yiga, though. Horse takes no prisoners.
Having been a racehorse, she's fast. Even when carrying around half of Chain 2 on her back, they're the lighter half and she's able to get up to speed. Sometimes it can be a bit hard to keep her from rushing ahead or catching up to her if something spooks her, but the group's doing their best. It just doesn't help that most folks have different names for her.
Time: 8AM (no one knows how he guessed it) Twilight: epona 2 Cloud Warriors: Emblem Four: Iron Wind: Storm Sky: [unintelligible] Legend: Charcoal Hyrule: Stripe Wild: Love-Me-Not Epona: Friend (Horse calls Epona "Friend" in return)
Tri: Horsey Tre: Shade Trois: Monster (derogatory) to Monster (affectionate) Cly: Stone Skid: Horsey Yves: Horsey Rhythm: Bargain Trill: Ash Apri: Frosty
Shields: Bofa (Deez Nuts) Spoons: Chompy Koridai: Onoitsmymotherinlaw Peter: Yegua Rus: not-epona Cloud Holpar: Rival (after getting over his initial terror at seeing her) Spirits: Default Landon: Yoshi
[designer's notes: Horse was sort of a joke addition at first cause i said "chain 2 needs a horse" and. welp. first complete OC of the nonsense was made. i still don't really know how horses work.]
[With this profile done, Chain 2 has all been accounted for! But there's still a lot more folks to go. Starting tomorrow, there's also gonna out-of-context and joke stuff posted each Friday (or at least it's Fridays for me), just to mix things up a lil'.]

So can you pretty please elaborate a little more about this “twin incident” in the techie au I just love the au so much!!!
OFc nonnie!!! Hope you like this and thanks so much!!!
So! it was april fools and the twins decided “Hey, ya know what would be fun? Uhhh switching lives for a day to trick our friends and boyfriends” 
It’s their favorite day of the year
They never thought their undoing…would be nicknames
So they woke up extra early on the day to get ready. Roman did Remus makeup and hair to perfection, also covering up the grey streak he’s had
Remus did the same, temporary grey dye on Roman’s hair. Then they did clothes. 
Remus, as long as he swore to take care of it, was allowed to wear Romans bomber jacket. Remus has a similar jacket, it’s a poofy one and they both had to swear they wouldn’t ruin it
So they’re finally ready. Now they spent the entire day before basically learning how to be each other, which was difficult because though they shared a lot in common they were pretty different people
So finally its time to put it to use, they drove to school together making sure Remus picked up Virgils coffee and that Roman texted Dee his ETA, like they always did.
They had one rule, avoid kissing
It was pretty simple, they just decided to say they were feeling ill so they didn’t want to get the other two sick. Virgil would definitely take precaution and Dee hates germs so…
Lets begin with Remus. Roman shows Remus where to go before making his way to Dee
Remus waits by the locker growing impatient, tapping his foot and fiddling with the things around him.
Finally, Virgil arrives and he’s a lil grumpy. “I hate April fools”. Remus sucks in a sharp breath… “How can you hate apri-” He pauses, swallowing. His voice isn’t off but he’s having trouble with Roman’s softer, more smooth tone. But that’s not what tips Virge off
“I told you this yesterday…” Virgil eyes his ‘boyfriend’. Remus raises his eyebrows before nodding. “Right! I’m kidding V” The nickname gets caught in his throat
Only Remus calls Virgil ‘V’. Roman always calls him ‘Virge’. SO Virgil quickly understands what’s going on and decides to play along. SO he’s like ok, let’s see how far I can take this. So he decides to lean in for a kiss but Remus stops him
“Uh actually I caught a cold from Remus so…you might not want to do that” ‘Roman’ pretends, Smart Virgil notes. “Fair enough” He shrugs taking ‘Romans’ hand as they walk to first period. 
Virgil knew one thing; He had to find Dee
Now Dee! Roman, as instructed by his brother, was told to meet Dee in the student council office. So hes rushing and making sure he looks disheveled
He arrives and sees Patton there to, and he almost greets him as he usually would. But He remembers and instead, bear hugs from behind.
“Oh! Remus! Hello,” Patton greets, squeezing his arms, receiving a fun glare from Logan. “Alright well thanks Dee, see you after school. Bye Remus!” Patton says his goodbyes, Logan taking his hand as he sleepily walks out
“Bye Pat!” ‘Remus’ bites his tongue, waving a crazed smile hoping to cover up his mistake. Remus only calls Patton one thing, and one thing only PatPat. Its a nickname he’s had for Patton since they were little
“Pat” ‘Remus’ adds quickly but Dees already gotten the text from Virgil. Time to have some fun. 
SO he decides that even though both Virgil and Dee have explicitly expressed their annoyance and disapproval of April Fools Day, that the boys decided to trick them he was going to get them back
So! Dee decides “Go big or go home” so he goes right in for a kiss and poor unexpecting Roman backs away 
“uh! Uh! I’m sick! You wouldn’t wanna catch a cold!” ‘Remus’ tries
Dee nods slightly impressed at their excuse, but alas how long can they hold off? So just like Virgil, he slips his hand into ‘Remus’s’ and they go along the day
The twins get better as they but then comes lunch. And ofc Dee and Virgil have alerted the others to the situation, which means Pat and Lo are gonna have some fun as well
So Dee decides to tell ‘Remus’ a bunch of stuff about…’issues’ hes having that he had already told Remus the night before. SO ofc Roman is panicking because Remus didn’t mention anything!!
And Virgil takes ‘Roman’ into a secluded corner and decides hey you know whats fun…breaking up with you. So Virgil ‘breaks up’ with ‘Roman’ and Dee basically confesses a bunch of fake secrets to ‘Remus’ 
Now the boys really dont know what to do and of course what can they do? The bell rings and class begins. Luckily theyre in the same class so they can debrief
Remus tells Roman about the breakup and he’s heartbroken and confused 
Roman tells Remus whos now worried ™ 
So finally its time for rehearsal and the boys are just fuming/worried. So theyre like no more games BUT FORGET TO TAKE OFF THEIR DISGUISES
Roman walks up to Virgil furious like “You broke up with me?” And goes on a whole rant in the dressing room, Pattons just chilling with parks and rec playing and Virgil just has this smug look on his face
And Romans like “why are yoU SMILING?” and Virgil just goes “I didn’t break up with you Roman, I broke up with Remus” And he then shows Roman what he looks like in the mirror and Romans face just falls
He kicks the ground while Virgil just crosses his arms and Romans like “Ehe…so you figured it out?” and Virgils just like “Yeah, like eight hours ago” So Roman starts apologizing and just feels awful but then he’s like “But please don’t ever break up with me” And is super sad and Virgil just goes “Never princey” And kisses him (OH AND VIRGIL BTW FEELS AWFUL AND THINKS THEY DEF TOOK IT TOO FAR AND HE SPENDS WEEKS MAKING IT UP TO ROMAN WHO INSISTS ITS FINE)
Now Remus is pacing because the stage managers are having a meeting with the director and he has to wait for Dee. Who he still thinks is like..not ok
So Dee and Logan come out of their meeting and Remus just rushes (still looking like ROman) and hes like “Babebabebabbebe are u OK” and his like hugging him And Dee just keeps this steady face 
“Uh…yeah Roman? Why do you ask” And Logan cracks a smile before Patton comes up and drags him away and Remus just…jaw drops “Apology please?” Dee requests and Remus nods and does an apology to which Dee responds with a kiss on the cheek and also his own apology for making Remus worry
Remus than jumps on Dees back and Dee groans knowing he now has to carry his boyfriend around for thirty minutes
And that become known as the “Twin Incident”
Sorry this was so long!! I hope thats ok and I hope you enjoyed nonnie!! More questions!!

Something in the back of my Mind
"You said in the chest right?" asked Edward flicking the lights on in Thomas's room.
"Y-yeah!" Thomas voice echoed.
Edward was trying to look for a magnifying glass, that he'd lend Thomas.
He nealed down digging through the chest.
"How many toys does one child need?" He asked himself digging through the stuff. He'd even dug up some very old toys from when Thomas first came to Sodor.
The minute he saw Thomas he'd already fell in love with the child. Volunteering to take care and look after him.
As Edward continued to dig around he found that there weren't just toys the chest. There were also clothes that looked like they no longer fit Thomas, a bit of trash, and some candy.
Then Edward noticed a folded piece of paper.
Thomas entered the room,"Did you find it?" He walked over and sat beside the other.
"No, but I found a lot of other interesting things." He answered, holding up a bag full of candy.
Thomas smiled "Hehe."
Edward raised s brow.
"It's not all mine, some if it is Percy's" added Thomas.
"Really? Because I also found some trash, in here." added the older male showing the boy candy wrappers.
Thomas tried to reason. "But we all have those lazy moments, having to walk to the kitchen just to throw away trash."
"Seems like a lot of moments, what is this?" asked Edward as he pulled out the folded paper."
Thomas snached it away, "This just trash."
Edward was surprised how fast Thomas grabbed it. He was curious what was on it. "Are you sure? Can you open it?"
"I mean I can, but..." Thomas trailed off, "We should look for that magnifying glass."
"Or, we could take a break and have a look at this." Suggested Edward taking the paper back. He knew he could read it any time, but tried to reason instead.
"I guess, but there's nothing special in it." shrugged Thomas.
Edward opened it, and from the looks of it it was a hand made card by Thomas. He observed the way the handwriting looked gave him the hint of it being written a few years back, it was pretty difficult to read. "Thomas, how about you read it to me."
Thomas gave an uneasy look, he looked at the letter. "I don't know what it says."
"Can you look at me when your talking?" asked Edward.
"I'm trying to make out the words."
Edward closed the card and stared at Thomas."Do you want to know something about yourself?" He asked the boy.
"Okey."
In a stern voice he whispered, "You don't look at me in the eyes when your lying."
"Can we throw it away?"
Edward tried to stay patient, "Thomas we both know what this is. I'm just interested in what it says."
"What it always says!" Shouted Thomas, "It's not special! it's lame, and..." He paused taking a moment to realize who he just yelled at. "I'm sorry." Then he got up and left the room.
Edward sat alone in the room thinking to himself. Then he took out his pocket watch and opened it. On one side told time and on the other was a picture of Thomas. He opened the card up again, he took a look at hand writing then the drawing of him and Thomas underneath.
He loved it.
but couldn't understand why Thomas had stopped making them. It's been quite a while since he's recived one.
He got up walking towards the door way, which was where he stopped taking a look at the boy's room. It was always clean since Thomas spent more time in Edwards room than his.
How many years have gone by?
To him it felt like just yesterday he meet Thomas. He remember it very well.
It went like this...
There was a tug on his slacks. "Excuse me, do you know where Knapford is?" He had asked.
He didn't say a word, all he did was look down at the child, then he keeled to his level.
"I'm going to work hard here, and see the world one day."
"Oh, what's that your holding?" He asked him.
Thomas read it to him. "Give this note to Edward... Edward, I need you to look after this boy, and show him the basics. His name is Thomas, and I'm sure you'll do great job taking care of him. There's a empty cabin somewhere where you can stay in to look after Thomas properly."
He smiled, he secretly envied Henry and Gordon, for having to look after James. But now he had his own to look after.
"Who's Edward?" Wondered the boy.
"He's a kind fellow, who loves company of others."
"I can't wait to meet him then."
"Your looking at him."
Thomas looked at him confused, then his eyes lit up and was soon swept off the floor laughing.
"I'm going to take care of you, and make you the best thing to happen here."
That's how happened...
Edward left the room, walking down the hall, he went to his room. He pulled a box from under the bed and looked for Thomas who was under the kitchen table.
He got under it, and sat next to him, then he handed the box to Thomas.
The confused boy looked at the older male, who nodded signaling him to open it. Which was what Thomas had done.
It was full of hand made cards, made by Thomas.
"I love them." Whispered Edward.
They were all here, from birthdays, to holidays. He pulled them out one by one, and went through all of them. Edward picked up one of them, and mentioned...
"This one is my favorite."
Thomas looked at it, he didn't remember writing that one. But for some reason that one had the most readable handwriting.
"Can you read it for me?"
Thomas took it and begun to read. "Dear Edward, I know it's not the holidays but on the calender I noticed today was Father's day. I didn't know what it was so I asked Henry and he told me what it was. Even though your not my dad, I look to you as one. I guess what I want to say is that I love you like a dad, and that I apri-ciate you giving up time to take care of me, and play. I think your also a really cool dad, and if I knew about you sooner, I would've left the mainland sooner, to be with you."
Thomas wasn't sure what else to say. His face fluttered in embarrassment, but he liked it.
"Can you tell me why you stopped making these?"
"I just thought you were probably getting tired of them, since they sorta all said the same thing, but I didn't think you would actually save all of them."
"Thomas, I'll love everything that's from you."
Thomas smiled, he then saw that Edward was holding the one hidden in the toy chest. "I can read that one too."
Edward handed it to Thomas, who opened it and begun reading it.
Dear Edward,
Happy Birthday! I lost track of how old you are, but who care about age. And who cares about Gordon when it comes to your age. When I be an adult I want to be like you. Hopefully I'll see the world sooner or later, speaking of that, I'm not going to see it if it means leaving you behind. I want to see it together, I'm not sure how you feel about that, but I'm willing to wait until I get your answer. I'm not sure what I would do or how I would've turned out without you. You've been always there for me, and as you get older, it's time for me to be there for you.
"Thomas, I'll always want to see the world with you."

I think Destiel is the show's end game but they want it to be the very last thing. So they set up the story around season 8/9 because they didn't really know if they were gonna get picked up and they had to dial it back up when it continued. Now it started again during season 12 knowing the show is gonna end in the next couple of years for sure without it being cancelled. Maybe? Thoughts? Love your meta!
Hi! Love you too!
I weirdly had a conversation about this yesterday in private so I’ve managed to actually coalesce some thoughts about this… Lots of thoughts.
Seeing as I joined fandom in the end of season 9, I basically joined a fandom that had been pretty hurt by the spec that season 8 might have been endgame if the show was cancelled… Obviously we’re never going to get any sort of statement on it until after we know the definitive line on whatever else they were doing with Destiel after the point it matters, so it’s going to be small potatoes if it was or not. 
But I don’t particularly think that it actually WAS - and the different way Cas, and his and Dean’s relationship, was portrayed in season 8 immediately threw a whole bunch of fuel on the fire but it was shocking in a way that it was being given attention rather than specifically being romantic, and it’s hard to tell the two apart, especially when you’re looking in the subtext and seeing romantic stuff, which when you’re a starving shipper suddenly seems like a feast of both charged interaction AND the old subtext, which is suddenly slathered all over everything when Cas is a major part of Dean’s emotional arc for the first time (in a good way). 
(LOTS more under the cut)
Whether there was an intent or not, season 8 changed the game and without knowing what they were doing or where it would lead (aka hello I am Hindsight from the future) it would look pretty shocking and suggestive that something might come of it. Because I know I’d flip out in the same scenario just from wondering, and kind of feel like I’m in the same place after season 12, because again it feels like the game changed.
I’m trying hard not to leap to conclusions to be honest, and I do *not* want to be in the middle of it which is partially why I’ve reacted so strongly to twice in the last month people using me as some sort of fandom leader whose words mean more than others’, because I really really hope not and I wish I didn’t have to disclaimer it because it makes my ego look enormous but on the other hand twice in a month is a pretty frightening wake up call about how people see me?
So. 
Even if it was written with intent in season 8, we’re so far past the point that if that was their plan they could have delayed it over and over without doing something substantial *in Carver era* about it, that it twists the fandom narrative about this into the show being very cruel. This narrative is a great one for people who feel wanky, to feel like they’ve got justified reasons to be upset that it didn’t happen and that they’re getting strung along. I’m not saying everyone who thinks that Destiel was slated to go canon in season 8 does, but it is a great narrative for those who do to feel somewhat certain the show is deliberately dangling and then holding back on Destiel, because nothing bonds a community like feeling as if some more important group of people is mistreating them. Justified rage and all that. If you don’t like the show because you feel it got kinda shitty over the last few years but instead need to take it as a personal betrayal in order to break up with the show, it’s a great thing to get riled up about. The bait and switch seems clear to them, and there’s been many discussions of the way they seem to build up only to yank away, in every season since 8. And part of the build up is meta writers freaking out about how canon it all looks and being naturally excited to see what happens with the story they’ve been reading positively (and this isn’t our fault, though some people think we’re complicit in queerbaiting just by wanting to analyse the show and give any credit to teasing the ship by pointing out its structural integrity).
Some people who see the idea it was going to be canon in season 8 positively also tell this as a way of making themselves feel good that it has been on the books and therefore has a chance of going canon in the future. 
You can get the same story of the show’s intent in two different places, but the ONLY way we can ever construct this narrative is by reading into the show and trying to guess at what they’re doing because they’ve never admitted to writing a Destiel narrative. 
A side effect of the 9x03 wank was a bemused message from someone waaaay up the chain and out of the writers’ room, who said they’d never been pitched the story. I’m inclined to believe that, because I don’t believe in any conspiracy except for the NHI (shh don’t ask if you don’t remember :P), meaning that at no point in season 8 was it EVER anything more than subtextual fun from the writers among themselves. And nothing that was on the books at least in the first half of season 9. Like, at the most generous thought that it might be later if you REALLY want to go hard on theorising about what they’re up to, it wasn’t at that point. 
(The NHI sprang from 10x10 so I’m covered there.)
(Also if you see people handwave 9x03′s wank as a conspiracy to cover it up and that it HAD been real but NDAs mean they’d say it wasn’t, don’t use a pinch of salt, put a whole salt circle around that thought and run away.)
Another thing about this sort of expectation or narrative is that I feel the recent meta writers wank has made it really obvious there’s still people in fandom hanging on for fanon content and character stanning who really don’t need more canon to unfurl, ever, and are only going to get more angry about it, and were hurt at some point in one of these mass-wanks about the show, probably one of these early positivity bubble bursts, but who nevertheless feel like meta still has some sort of mystical power or social influence or… something or other… that from how it sounds, seems like they were once all in on the “it should be canon at the end of season 8″ hype or equivalent for their season, and of course were shattered when it didn’t happen. 
And if season 8 didn’t finish them off, later things did - season 9 was a horrific obstacle course even just with 9x03′s wank and then JIB at the end of the year and the “we don’t play it that way” comment. Which I am contractually obliged to repeat every time I quote Jensen to give context of “as in a secret relationship where they’ve been fucking off screen as per whatever dirty fanart he was shown to get the concept of what he thought Destiel was”
I am fairly certain that season 8 hype was partially manufactured (a Known Fandom Cultist was in the mix and the heady combination of a new big fandom flooding tumblr from Netflix and all the season 8 subtext AND the chance for attention and followers is a wonderful mix for exploitation when the fandom hasn’t been hurt before from this particular direction), and definitely this hype was used to whip the fandom up into a frenzy of expectation that a lot of people either innocently repeated or expanded on in their own meta because the idea sounded interesting or halfway plausible based on their theories (as it was a positive growth of Destiel subtext and narrative ANYWAY) or they thought we deserved the best world of the show, or else they weren’t meta writers and just read it and bought into it and allowed this narrative to have *incredible* power over them by putting all their thoughts into someone else’s basket, and sharing the ideas and being excited in gifsets and fic and other fandom contributions for how the show had become a romance overnight.
(Spoilers: it hadn’t.) 
I don’t like theories which use abstract examples to hold up to the show like basic plot structures, character arc templates, etc, pretty much exactly for this reason, because you can ONLY apply those as analysis backwards on finished arcs without immediately being wrong about something, and that’s a generous thought for if you’re not trying to whip up a frenzy of enthusiasm for fake emotional currency of Tumblr followers :P Essentially I have no problem with meta written about this sort of thing so long as it isn’t “they ARE using this trope so this HAS TO MEAN that this WILL happen,” or “they ARE employing such and such narrative structure and that means they WILL do this next step exactly as it says here” 
… I could crack open my copy of The Seven Basic Plots right, now, pick one at random, apply it to the season 13 spoilers with dead certainty that it all adds up to Destiel and cash in my entire reputation on a 1/7 chance of being utterly right that the structure will look like it’s going that way to the letter, and hope I’d only lose a third of my new followers in the resulting storm when I’m not right about the pay off :P 
If you just think it’s interesting and might be USEFUL to try and UNDERSTAND what will happen next, then by all means as long as you’re not using it and hoping that it sounds academic will mean people without a good grounding in rationalising these things for themselves will just assume you’re smart and know what you’re talking about. And then you use it to push home ideas which you can’t possibly know like that Destiel is being built up to go canon at the end of the season/endgame or whatever, some people will go right along with it because it’s tantalising.
Whatever happened, though, I have heard more than enough since joining fandom about the end of season 8 wank and people quitting the fandom and basically the first positivity bubble shattering (over an episode I feel does no harm and considerable good to the ship without making it canon), so that even before season 9 the wank and bitterness about many things such as the disproportionate freak out about Tracey Bell being a love interest or rumours spread that April or Nora would be multi-episode love interests for Cas, had everyone behaving like the way fandom does before every season or character announcement now. Which is to get disproportionately upset about things which have not yet happened, because they’re already feeling *so hurt* by the things which have, for not living up to the expectations, that surely everything is IT, the END, the thing that will kill Destiel out of the show forever. Every female character is a threat and everyone’s always certain the show is out to damage the thing they love just out of spite.
(I know some people will pop up like, it’s not about the ship, it’s about Cas! but I really can not help feeling that it’s just a sliding of feelings from the ship, because of feeling Dean was horrible to Cas over season 9 and 10 for example, to being over-protective of Cas in particular, and, like, I get it. I do. I don’t feel it that way because I never got invested in any particular pay off that I then didn’t feel happened, and that by whatever point, Cas should be living with them or getting his own episodes on the regular or that Dean should have apologised for whatever, or that they should now be dating. I have a personal investment in this tailored to look for positive things and see good changes like Cas getting more episodes ABOUT him, a strong place in the narrative, a in-depth personal arc, and love from the cast and show. For others, almost nothing will go far enough towards what they want, so even these huge positive changes from what I experienced in season 10 as a Cas fan will get over the hurdle.)
I also think there’s a serious secondary problem that for some people the promise of “it’s going canon at the end of season 8″ turned into “well of course it got renewed so it’ll be whenever the show ends INSTEAD” but carried on essentially giving the same super positive message that Destiel was absolutely 100% on the mind of all the writers all the time as the overall conclusion of the character arc. Which is something you can almost never tell when people write about it and I think again is more like an idea that moved into general conversation so I don’t think there’s really anyone out there I encounter who is angling for anything. But it can be misleading about the concept that just because meta writers find a consistent narrative and are optimistic it will continue and be honoured through the show, that we’re saying that there’s a guaranteed endgame and everyone ought to hang onto it. 
Honestly if you can’t hack the wait, I’d much rather people went full-fanon, didn’t cast opinions on the show at all, put away the negativity in favour of enjoying the stuff they like - fics, art, canon-free headcanons, etc, and when the end of the show came, if they even halfway liked the sound of what people were saying about it, went and re-watched from the start to re-immerse themselves and try a positive take on it knowing what they were in for, canon or not. I’ve stopped watching several times out of DGAF feelings towards the show (weird dog episodes :|) and come back and again I can’t really claim to have the most healthy attitude, everyone follow my lead, but I do think I can be objective and careful about how I engage with it and try and not get sucked into negativity OR positivity rollercoasters that only go to hurt town. >.> 
I mean, I honestly feel in season 12, it’s the first time we’ve had an entire writers’ room of writers I even think *know* about it as a solid narrative construct (and yes I am including Buckleming because they DO write Destiel into the show, they just also write all the racism and rape and whatever else in along with it :P) Between the scattered application of serious subtext through Carver era and the approach to canon they occasionally winked at, they never seemed particularly competent at the work needed to actually make Destiel canon if it was EVER supposed to be building up towards it. I think the bait and switch yank away is too clever for them and their handling of the narrative :P I don’t think they’re stupid but, NHI aside, they are not up for complicated conspiracies.
To be serious, though… I know people say they saw it all the time from space, and their casual viewer mom did etc, but the fact remains they never wrote a CLEAR romance narrative except for the splitting Dean and Cas at the start of season 10 and *paralleling* their narratives with Crowley and Hannah, while everything else has been situational tropes or strong emotional narratives which could work either way. A slow burn romance in a show that will admit it’s one will use many similar tropes but also ones which expressly make it a romance that everyone’s supposed to read as happening, usually quite corny, on the nose ones, and Destiel has more of the subtextual or emotionally bonding romantic tropes than like… anything else ever… but very few of the “oops walked in on him changing, let me just accidentally turn around again on the way out the door” type nonsense that broadcasts to people on Mars that they’re going to bang, and probably soon. I say very few because there’s little outliers like the boner scene or “i can’t let you do this” which are copy pasted from corny romance, but of ALL the Destiel that happened in season 12, ONLY the mixtape crosses boundaries like that and even so people CAN argue it’s platonic love, and the only thing we can really say is nonsense is that it’s not conveying any love at all. 
Something like Crowley mourning his romance with demon!Dean and looking at photos to some sort of “all by myself” level song was very clearly a rom com trope and the one that for me sealed the deal that Drowley was intentionally meant to be seen in canon. Something like Dean and Aaron is disproportionately powerful because their main interpersonal interaction was literally described as being something from a rom com BY the director’s commentary :P Destiel is a 10 year old behemoth, largely NOT defined by rom com tropes, but with a few peppered here and there in a low enough concentration that it’s not the absolute norm to assume it’s going to happen.
But in season 12, like in season 8, Cas got a LOT of attention in the story, a good chunk of that was through Dean because Dean’s got the old profound bond, and Cas and Dean are intrinsically and inseparably connected in some ways that no amount of bro-ing up with Sam or forging a tentative friendship with Mary will do to NOT make it seem like Cas is talking to Dean first and foremost, especially when all 3 Winchesters pile through the door and Cas just says “Dean” :P 
This season has a STRONG narrative about Cas’s relationship to the Winchesters and through Dean in particular, and there’s one of the stand out romantic tropes in basically ever in this season, along with several other hallmarks of the things that made season 8 such fertile ground. 
12x10 had the crypt scene rehash to hopefully end these loops around Dean and Cas with the positive conclusion it needed, and a lot of the meta about season 8 flipped out about the human/supernatural relationships (with Charlie and Gilda foreshadowing the crypt scene perfectly, because Robbie) so 12x10 filled in a missing link from season 8, of a story about how angels might be into humans too. 
And it was the season with Aaron which was Dean’s personal stand out bi moment which made a lot of people feel the show was going to start taking it seriously on his behalf, and season 12 had Aaron back, even if it was only one scene, it was a reminder he existed and the main interesting context for most people was him and Dean. 
And season 8 had the angel fall spell, including the cupid nonsense in 8x23, and the nephilim which was the early forerunner of the suggestion of 12x10, that angels and humans can couple up, while in season 12 the angel fall spell was directly mentioned, 12x15 mirrored the first Hell trial, nephilim were back, and Crowley offered to close the gates of Hell. So season 8′s mytharc was slathered all over the season. 
And in the crypt scene Dean was supposed to say “I love you” and in 12x12 they found a way to make Cas say it instead, which I agree was the more logical progression, that Cas would crack first :P 
Anyway, season 8 was all over this season but season 12 felt amped up and going places season 8 didn’t, going several steps further and as I’ve said before to go straight from season 8 meta mindset to season 12, would utterly blow your mind. 
BUT to go right back to the start, I don’t think season 8 was building to canon Destiel ever, not even as a failsafe for cancelleation. I don’t think that the planned “I love you” was going to do more than make the fight about canon that much more bloody if it aired and doesn’t help even without it airing, knowing it was going to happen. Jensen was the one who argued it away, and they agreed for character reasons supposedly, so there was no meddling from above to say, wait, hit the brakes, we can’t barrel right into the canon build up.
I think season 8 was supposed to be used to bring Cas back in from the cold - kind of literally with using Purgatory to stagger his return - because after season 6 & 7 showing Dean cared about him in ANY way was important, and to establish that whatever Cas had done, Dean would forgive and want to rescue him and have him back in the family. I don’t think season 8 is a clean slate for Cas despite his attempt to put on the old uniform and carve a new path for himself in like… 2 episodes after he got back while he was still being fucked around with by Heaven unknowingly to him. He’s still burdened with guilt, and if anything, the season renewal is probably more to blame for stretching out Dean forgiving him than smooching him, with a lil more manufactured drama and Dean lashing out at him for season 6 & 7 in 8x22. He lashes out again in 9x22, but by season 10 he’s pretty much moved on, to be angry about like… everything else to push Cas away at the end of the season. I guess they’re living in the moment rather than the past by 10x22 :P Pfft. Sorry, got to be facetious about some things here.
I think the focus on Cas in season 8 was much more about his repentance and forgiveness from others - Metatron snags him by seeing he still wants to repent for Heaven, WHILE he’s in the gas station trying to buy stuff to repent to Dean for OTHER stuff. I think it makes perfect sense to read the season 8 narrative as a strong emotional narrative between Dean and Cas specifically engineered to delve into their relationship issues, let Cas back in to TFW, let him back into Dean’s heart, and try and establish for US what Cas is truly like as we’ve never been so deep in his head as in season 8 as a whole, except for in 6x20 where we learned A: he loved them and Dean in particular, and B: he was busy lying and betraying them and justifying it all on the slimmest reasons to keep himself going. If you love Cas, 6x20 is a goldmine. If you’re indifferent or don’t like him, as a one episode event, it might not warm your heart especially with the end of season 6 and his resulting failures, especially perceived moral ones against his friends. 
Season 8 let us right into Cas and showed us his inner processes, desires, and a narrative about how he wanted to do penance for season 6 and 7, and a feeling that Sam and Dean love him back, of course, but to them Cas is still a shaky person to depend on and Dean is going a great deal on faith that Cas is good even while thinking he’s sketchy and lying the entire time between 8x07 and 8x17, showing a conflict between Dean’s baseline faith in Cas and Cas’s behaviour towards them. Being in his head and seeing Naomi all season makes US insiders to Cas’s issues and puts us on his side firmly by knowing WHY he’s acting this way, so it’s a good storyline to nurture us through Dean’s issues with Cas while being given an inside line to being sympathetic to Cas since we know what Dean doesn’t about how he’s being controlled the entire time. 
Taken in that spirit, I can see the show just wanting to reconcile TFW and Dean and Cas in particular as a goal to shoot towards and the conclusion might just have been that they all make it good before whatever ending they had in mind for the main plot stuff. Along with a healthy dose of subtext to keep you guessing about how that relationship was. 
Anyway, as I said, I don’t like subscribing to theories which are too speculative and treating them like they’re too real and like… definitely what the show is doing… makes me really itchy for the above reasons in the fan wank section of this reply… so the one that Destiel is now being woven into season 12 to the same way it was in season 8 to the eventual aim of canon puts me off for the reasons I hope you can guess from all that rambling :P 
Even if I have hope that it MIGHT be on the books doesn’t mean I’ll really commit to saying it’s narratively going anywhere for sure, because that seems like a great way to start a cult and end up in the shame bin and reviled by people one day. I want to see fandom through to the end of the show and see what happens with you all, so short-sighted plans about building a rocket to Mars in my back yard seems like a great way to end up sitting in a fizzled out rocket still on the ground in my yard with a bunch of people who want their money back :D
I do think the endgame the show is working towards is going to be positive for Destiel fans and probably at the very least a good final touching moment, although I think the show will pretty much certainly end on Sam and Dean together as the sign off moment, even if the moment before that is Dean smooching Cas in the kitchen before grabbing a couple of beers to go hang with his brother just the 2 of them out on the front porch of their weirdo hunter commune house. Or whatever happens. But you know, even in the Destiel is totally canon and it all ends happily world, it’s not ABOUT them, it’s about Sam and Dean and as much as it’s about everyone else they love too, they’d be there to show there’s a world for them to save/that they have saved and can retire to, if Mary and Cas survive to the end. 
But there are many subtextual ways between that hazy dream ending and, like, total character death save the world through mass sacrifice kinda ending, and all of which can make Destiel look like it was where things were/would have gone. At the current point in canon you can say the exact same thing, which is the point I was making that went right over some heads where they got fixated on me dancing gleefully around Cas’s dead body fulfilling my prophecy or whatever. If the show ended there, with the way Dean and Cas were connected over the season, you could argue their hearts belonged to each other, but they never got a chance to really do anything about it. 
It’s the shitty subtextual Cas is dead ending I’d always dreaded if the show really wanted to fuck with us, but it’s one they could have done, and it would have left things open ended enough for academics and fans and whoever else to yell forever about if it had all meant what we thought it did, to a collection of contradictory comments from cast and crew.
The only way is up from here for Cas’s personal development, seeing as he’s finally doing the truly transformative death experience, and Cas’s personal development is where Destiel subtext is most closely tied, while Dean’s personal development has been a mess of performing Dean and bi Dean and issues with his parents and the codependency, and he’s opening up like a beautiful flower, but it’s still largely a sort of concept that Destiel can just sort of happen when Dean’s got far enough down the line on dealing with all these issues as a kind of lump problem, and Cas’s arc is much more mythological, tied into identity and belonging, but the target has been clear since like… 4x22… (and I mean “clear” rather than “oh shit it’s going to haaaappen” like it is from the start of the season :P) that it’s going to all land on Dean. And clear since like… idk, 6x20? that the feeling is pretty romantic from his end so in an ideal world he lands on Dean romantically. 
And all subsequent positive development on the ship’s possibility has been clearing hurdles and tidying up character development that’s all pretty much check lists made back in season 8 or after the wank when with clearer heads people began to wonder just what was standing in the way of them if they were going to go canon, but not right then. Stuff like Claire and the vessel occupancy issue. Or the slow progress of Cas putting words to his family to call them that and the Bunker home and so on. Steps that all the stretching of the story has let them explore in minute detail.
So I can see that it’s possible that this all develops into something that works incredibly well for the chances of Destiel and since season 10 I’ve had the suspicion, thanks to Claire and the Dean-focused character development episodes, that they were working on the same tick list as us. But I’m not sure if it will pay off exactly as we want to see, while at the same time  being over the moon delighted when another step forward happens. And season 12 moved a lot of ground, some of it unexpectedly quickly, and other things like, unburying them from ruts they’d been stuck in forever. 
I don’t think going on from here season 13 will be immediately disappointing if Cas and Dean aren’t desperately romantically linked all the time because the show still acts like they have their own personal dramas when it’s not letting them see each other as the only people in a room. I don’t think it would be very productive to tally up events as if they’re constructing a narrative where we have to wait for pay off at a very set date, because even though I think that pay off will come at a very set date if we’re lucky and they honour their subtext. The show doesn’t seem to have an end, I honestly don’t trust Dabb as far as I can throw him not to just randomly make Destiel canon because he thinks it’ll be funny and make us happy because I have no grasp on his showrunning except he’s a massive troll with his finger on the fandom pulse. And honestly I don’t get much pleasure from constructing the elaborate forward narratives when I can be much more excited about the immediate stuff, living in the moment, and taking the Destiel subtext as it comes. 
After the mixtape moment there was a lot of spec about if we’d see it again or what it meant building forwards, and I felt it wasn’t going to be mentioned again, and that it was much more valuable for that moment and what it told us about Dean and Cas, than using it for a forwards sign, which to me often just means taking quick stock of a thing happening in present canon then barrelling ahead into the future. While to me the richness in the story is wallowing in what has been opened up about the past, about Dean making the mixtape, when he gave it to Cas, and all the backstory implied by the 5 second moment of that exchange, because it implies so much more going backwards than it ever meant going forwards, as it wasn’t mentioned again all season. We could go forwards knowing Dean and Cas were at the sort of stage of the relationship where mixtapes happen in such a way, but we can’t use it to divine an entire forward plot about it, because that way lies the sort of “make everything Cas ever does about guinea pigs and bees” nonsense because fixating on passing moments as information about character stuff we need to know for later, that there’ll be a bigger pay off later, to me does sort of ruin the fun of the present.
There’s manageable foreshadowing and speculation like guessing what the turducken sign is all about, because its original context was very Destiel, and there’s stuff like guessing about the PB&J where it has so many contexts that even when it connects to Cas I saw that as somewhat connecting him with *Kevin* and lil baby Sam in 9x07 when Cas was eating it in 9x11, and the Destiel connection was the link to humanity, and Dean as being somewhat connected as the PB&J provider to their weirdo family. But he also brought Kevin prune juice as a far more loving gesture, you know? :P Until we have context on these things I hate to get invested in many forward spec things as Destiel related or feeding a larger narrative.
I also think there’s a big difference between meta and spec and I am much more comfortable offering analysis of what has already happened and maybe venturing an idea of how things will play out but not wedding myself to it, especially as that’s how I’ve seen people get fandom burn out, and also I hate looking wrong :P So for my own ego, again, it’s nice to sit and enjoy spec as entertainment but not get so involved I’m writing convoluted theories about it.
Tl;dr, I’m hopefully understandably wary about what canon positivity can do to a fandom, even just from second-hand tales and snooping old blogs back in season 9 when it was all a bit closer to the surface. I have a very comfortable place I’m sitting, which has been rocked about a bit by how on the nose season 12 was, but until I can be sure I really do not want to ever commit to a speculation about anything being set up for canon that we can see in the narrative. I think we’re at an AMAZING place with where we’ve progressed in canon but I’m trying so so hard to keep it contained as if season 12 is where it all ends for now, and I will try and take each episode as it comes when it’s what people might read about what happens next with Destiel, because none of us are qualified to answer it. And the meta community seems to be in a really weird place again with an up surge in positivity that’s making the gold standard of speculation rise, and I’d rather learn from the past and be OVER CAREFUL than get involved in a huge fandom fuck up about all this :P And I hope if I really am supposedly that influential, I can try and be an example of not counting chickens, even when I think I’m holding a very full basket.

Of time because, i said a going say Okay instead of just buying a liability, i need to buy the assets first, so I need to buy an asset, that was throw off enough cash flowing Mike is a real piece of Real Estate, Enough cash flow that I know.
That would cover, my monthly payment, off my Bentley, right instead of me just, buying a Bentley which data would, do I have to pay from uniform myself or my own pocket that’s okay let me go through step let me buy the acid, the one thing by the acid first when a supposed Astros enough cash flow that pays for my luxuries, who pays for the car that was filming in, so even though when this car I’m I change to 3 years when this car when I no longer drive it when I say, tell it whatever it is, guess what, i still have the asset, that’s working, for me, that’s that don’t that’s the difference, we by which people we buy nice things, we buy by the nicest thing, the difference is, we don’t want to use our own money, We buy the assets first we invest vs everybody Investments first, dan, we buy liabilities, the definition of rich people the rich, is there a simple, which people we are entrepreneurs, who invest, don’t say it again, we are entrepreneurs, who invest, versus even if your business owner instead of just, buy stuff from your business, nick the Nick the money from your business first, right, and then get Point Investments if you walked by while triangle video you know I talked about the three stages, but if you have not watched that make sure you click on the I button just watch that first and you know what I’m talking about, so I can come skills and then I talk about you scalable business I talk with high return, the rich people we are, entrepreneurs, who invest, so that’s the one thing that rich, People by the pool in the closet, do not, let me give you one more tip, that’s one thing that we also buy, the depor, emile Claus do not and that is, which people, by time, poor people, celtics, rich people, by time, poor people, celtics, you think about people who are struggling financially or employee, or employees they sell their time, they get paid based on time, how many hours I get how many hours, i work, how much do I get paid per hour, how much do I get paid, pura per month or bi-weekly right, that’s how most people think, rich people we don’t do that we buy time, we buy time because time is the one thing that you cannot, replace, the second that you watching my video that second is gone, the minute you watch this video 10 minutes gone, you can replace it I can replace it, I cannot replace that customer is replaceable money, if we placeable, time is not, i cannot create manufacturer more time, money I can always make more money, if I have the time, if I run out of time I cannot do that, that’s why time to the rich people, it is a most valuable commodity, that’s why I f****** hate it when people waste my, is worse than, stealing from me, is worse than stealing money, because money, i can always make it back, the minute that I cannot get it back, and if you use the time wisely, i could use that to make, a lot of money, so the reason we buy time we buy Talent be by, people we buy, people that could help us we buy, we buy, people that could save us time, right so that’s why death, 2 hours you spend, you know cleaning your home, Will doing all the stop mowing a lawn.
A quick a quick Story one time was visiting a, apri, pretty pretty successful, seal, the company is probably, doing 20/20 $30 a year, and visit his office, and I went to his office, i couldn’t believe it the minute I got there he was mowing the lawns, in front of his office, i’m like what the f*** was that, right right there at tells me, my God this CEO does not value his, hi, the two hours to spend mowing the lawns, but he could not have found any things to do he couldn’t have found better ways to invest, his time, you couldn’t find a better way to, to utilize his talents, he’s mowing the f****** lawn seriously right, it makes no sense, when I talk with him I was giving him a hard time, so you don’t, Which people we don’t just think of return-on-investment that’s one of the words that you, you got to learn, i’ll lie we turn we think in terms of return on, your assets liability, but we also think in terms of, we turn on, haim investing, return on, oti, return on time invest, the Investor’s time, doing this thing what’s my return, right so I know if I spend, 2 hours, watching a movie, that movie doesn’t then just cost me, 20-30 $40 that movie cost me, thousands of dollars if not tens of thousands of dollars, then, i know that when I watch a movie, have to ask myself you’re not that I don’t want to watch a movie, but I know also ballistically, that, is not a $40 thing, write that cost me $10,000, so then his ass myself okay, is the, escape is the, is that an experience is that, worth, that kind of money, And I’ll look at that that’s okay you know what it is, didn’t study if I’m taking a time off and spending with my family, that our cost me money but I’m willing to spend that, very consciously, this is people have no concept they’re constantly I know that I’m investing my time that’s worth Eckman dollars, with spending like this I’m not trying to make money from this hour or two hours, i am spending with them, i am investing in that time, and when you think of it that way guess what you’ll be more present, that’s why every time I watch a movie reyli, i see a movie is like oh so bad, no it’s okay, at least I can justify living mentally that s*** out, this movie just call me f****** $20,000 this week’s pretty good, i did not what is 20000 out of my time right, So, joking aside but that’s what it is you got to think of it that way how you value your time so, that’s what rich people do rich people buy time, and don’t give you don’t value your time you’re not going to be, successful, you have to value, everything, bill Gates, has his, appointment, booking, 6 minute, 6 minute timer, it is calendar, death of billionaire, write my mentor has his in 15 minutes from now, that might my thing sometimes 30 sometimes 15 minute increment, how, you manage your time, how you invest your time your most, available investment, so there you go, that’s what, rich, people, buy the one thing that they bought that the poor and middle class., but they don’t don’t look at just what they have there, the fancy car and that’s the thing, before we go, because maybe when you have no money, you’ve been struggling for so long, You have been.

omgg uuu guys where have you been locas?????
anyway trans man rarity because im a trans man myself so its just obvious, sorry i cant keep my hands from destroying everything, even after all these years....
i was gonna trans gender applejack too but i got tired.
some thoughts about the art since im here...
rarity OWNS his gender, no matter what. BUT. it takes him a while to reconcile with his own femininity once he finds out he wasnt a woman. It was a super confusing period for him. How can he not be a woman if he loves to be so feminine? he needs to reconceptualize and relearn a lot of shit,,,, once he finally reaches that point tho, its back to being hyper fem rara (he/him edition)
