Still thinking about that time in Episode 4 of Tales from the Borderlands where you can examine Nisha's old cowgirl hat and Handsome Jack mentions to Rhys she became a "sexy badass sheriff-type chick" ...Gets me every time!

Cars/Planes Headcanons!!!!
MUSIC EDITION
CARS
Lightning - he would definitely listen to all the songs from the whole Cars Series like "Real Gone", "Life is Highway" or "Ride". Personally, I think he would be a fan of Imagine Dragons and The Score.
Mater - in my opinion, our lovely tow truck would listen to country songs, most often from Brad Paisley, possibly a few songs from musicals
Sally- Personally, I think she would be a huge ABBA fan. Just imagine her singing this band's songs as she works
Doc - I don't think our legendary Hudson Hornet would be addicted to music, but I know he wouldn't despise "Everybody Wants To Rule World" and "Nothing else matters" (he would despise today's music, saying that the 80's was the best)
Luigi -he could certainly be a fan of jazz and swing. I feel like this music brings back memories for him
Guido - in the case of a pit stop champion, I believe he would listen to some accapella. I don't know why, it just seems that way to me
Ramone- seems to be a guy who listens to rap/punk (I don't know what to call it) Something like "Gangsta's Paradise" or "Punk Tactics"
Flo - The Rolling Stones. She. is. Just. Big. Fangirl. Of. It.
Red-well, our sensitive guy could listen to lofi music, which always helps him to organize his thoughts and calm down
Fillmone -would be a fan of Michael Jackson. He would love his voice and his favorite song would be "Heal the World"
Sarge-I don't think he would have any fun with music. He would listen to whatever is playing in the background
Lizzie-like some hits from the 30s. She'd definitely mention Stanley on "It's been a long long time"
Mack- he would have a lot of fun listening to Skillet. Every time he goes somewhere, he'll vibe to one of these songs
Sheriff- he wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he loves musical songs. Especially "From now on" from The Greatest Showman
Cruz - QUEEEEENN!!! SHE WOULD BE A HUGE FAN OF THIS BAND! I even have a vision of her excitedly sitting at the premiere of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (her favorite song is "Show must go on")
Finn: Did you think Mack was a big Skillet fan? Look at this agent. He would go to every concert because he thinks this band is badass. Just like Fall out Boy. He plays these songs EVERY TIME when he's on some mission (in one earphone of course) Sometimes he'll listen to "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons
Holley - I think she would like to listen to Katy Perry. It was her childhood idol and now her songs help Holley to cheer her up
Chick-probably would listen to typical rap
Strip - our king would be a fan of The Weekend. His favorite song would be "Pray for me"
Cal- Like his uncle, he would love The Weekend, but he wouldn't disdain Imagine Dragons
Bobby-would listen to Pitbull. I don't know, somehow I see him enjoying his music
Jackson - I think he would love Panic! At The Disco. He would most like "Let's kill tonight"
Francesco- he would be a fan of Kesha. I know it's weird but I just see him dancing to "Blow" or "Timber"
Prof Z - he would probably turn up a villain playlist on YouTube and enjoy it. He would also feel like a boss listening to "Crazy=genius" by Panic! At the Disco
Miles- Maneskin would be glad. Once for laughs, he sang "I Wanna Be Your Slave" to Prof
Sterling - That son of a bitch (I hate him, sorry) probably wouldn't like music :V
Tex - our favorite Dinoco owner would probably listen to jazz, which would calm him down and give him satisfaction, because he believes that "jazz is music for successful people"
Acer and Germ - these two are die-hard fans of Eminem. I imagine them driving to their "work" listening to one of his songs
PLANES
Dusty-When Doc said "Today younglish don't know anything about music" he certainly didn't mean our favorite plane. Ozzy Osbourne, Electric Light Orchestra, Guns N Roses, Queen, Metallica, Nirvana or even single tracks like "Let's Grove Tonight" are like a piece of cake for him. He has music from the 70s, 80s or 90s in his little finger. (also fandom songs for ex. "Build our Machine", "Get Out" or "Hero Forms")
Dottie- Personally, I think she would be a fan of Arcane songs. She often listens to them while she works, which gives her a really cool vibe (especially "Playground" or "Snakes")
Chug - a fan of the opening credits of various series or cartoons and more (and also fan of Disney/Dreamworks songs) For sure, while watching "Ninjago" or "Monkie Kid" together with Dusty, he would sing it out loud (I'm not surprised :V)
Skipper - Personally, I think Skip would love to hear songs from "Sweeney Todd" (Highly recommended)
Sparky-Weezer fan. Definitely
Mayday-I personally think he would listen to songs about courage and sacrifice for example
El Chu - romantic songs are for him the rhythm of his heartbeat. I guess I don't need to explain this 😅
Bulldog -anthem of Great Britain. Just kidding, he would probably listen to Avicii while still grieving over the death of that artist
Ishani-I think Ishani would be a Lady Gaga fan. She'd have no problem dancing to "Bad Romance" or "Americano"
Rip - our emo plane would probably be a huge fan of Slipknot. He really gives me the vibe of someone whose favorite song is "People=Sh!t" from this band
Rochelle - She's Swiftie. I JUST SEE IT as he listens and vibes to "Anti-hero", "Welcome to New York" or "ME!"
Ned and Zed - they even have the same taste xd. I think they would both enjoy listening to Halsey or Billie Ellish, sometimes even Melanie Martinez
Franz -our favorite German would not have a favorite genre. He would just listen to whatever he wanted
Echo-this fighter wouldn't mind listening to Twenty One Pilots. The song "Stressed Out" is his favourite
Bravo - his favorite artist would be Rob Zombie. "More human than human" always accompanies him on his patrol
Blade- Well, at first our favorite helicopter wasn't a big music fan, but when Dusty showed him the song "Gladiator" by Jann, he started listening to it addictively
Windlifter-dude seems to me to be the type of person who listens to action movie soundtracks (for example Avengers) It gives him strength and motivation to train and fight fire
Lil'Dipper - anime intros can sing like no other. She is such a big fan of Britney Spears and Blondie. She also won't despise K-Pop.
Maru- Our fireman mechanic would be a huge fan of AC/DC. He loves to listen to them while working and often asks Patch to put on one of these songs during the action (it was even in the movie :V) He would also love "You're the best" or "Eye of the tiger.
Dynamite- For sure her favorite song would be "Black Widow". She would also like to listen to punk rock like "I Am A Poser"
Pinecone -she would 100% listen to fantasy songs like "Willow Tree March" because it brings the world to life in her head (in headcanon, I think she's a sensitive person with a vivid imagination)
Blackout-N.I.R.V.A.N.A totally. I don't know, I have the impression that he would listen to this band since he was a child and would go to every concert if he could
Avalanche - as with Rip, he would listen to Slipknot. It helps him release his emotions
Drip-I personally think he would be a Bruno Mars fan. Imagine him in sunglasses, chilling to "The Lazy Song"
Cabbie-Fan Rag N Bone Man. He would love the vibe of these songs and would relax to them
Patch-The Runways would be the band she fell in love with after watching Guardians of the Galaxy (basically, she listens to all the songs in that movie)
Cad - in my opinion, he wouldn't listen to music except for the song "I'm Awesome"
Nick- He would feel great joy while listening to Metallica. Once Blade walked into his dressing room and saw him singing and jumping to "Master of Puppets"
Leadbottom - this old man would complain about today's music even more (and more annoyingly) than Doc. He'd think 50s music was the best

For Ava and Kit, please! *Which body part are they associated with? (Example: hands/arms symbolize strength.) * Instead of your standard four elements, consider what kind of metal represents your character. * Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything between. What kind of dish are they? * Why does your oc look the way they do? What are your reasons for their appearance? * Which canon characters (if any) do the oc have bad relationships with? Why those characters? * What aspect(s) of the universe's lore are they connected to? Do they change/add lore to the universe?
body parts:
Ava is best symbolized by the eyes, the windows to the soul. She is very good at reading people and understanding them. She also speaks a lot more with her eyes than she does with her words when it comes to her emotions.
Kit would be the arms, strength is the most important thing to her. She has to be better than others around her, if she feels inferior to anyone she sees it as weakness.
Metals:
Ava is gold - soft, pliable, hard work to get your hands on, but when you do you're all the richer for it
Kit is iron - strong, forged in fire, hard to break
Dishes:
Ava would be creme brulee. A hard crust you have to crack through to get to the soft centre.
Kit is steak and a baked potato, a hearty meal.
Appearance:
Ava is my friendly neighborhood goth gf Captain. She has purple hair as a reminder of Earth as purple is the rarest color in nature. I decided she'd have that aesthetic since I once had purple hair and I loved it, not to mention in my younger days I was an alternative chick. So I guess it's a bit of a self insert type thing lol.
Kit has red hair because I have been in love with Scully since I was 3 or 4 lol. I like making ocs with red hair. Otherwise she's basically just full on badass and takes a lot of inspiration from Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor.
Bad Relationships:
Ava has a negative relationship with Sophia Akande, not to mention anyone who has done something to hurt others (looking at you Graham Bryant). Her and Ellie also don't have the closest relationship, it's not necessarily bad but they aren't nearly as close as Ava is with the rest of the crew
Kit has negative relationships with the Seeds at first as they run the cult in Hope County. It was her job as the deputy to help arrest Joseph, however that doesn't go as planned.
Lore:
Ava is the lone colonist Phineas managed to revive and was thrust into action as the protagonist to save the colony of Halcyon. Ava manages to save Edgewater, Free Monarch and broker a deal between MSI and the Iconoclasts, help find a cure for the Marauders, free the Groundbreaker from the clutches of the Board, and bring the Board toppling down.
Kit is the deputy who is brought with the Sheriff and the Marshal to give a warrant for arrest to Joseph Seed. Kit helps to start freeing Hope County from the control of the Seeds until she is taken hostage by Jacob Seed and is broken into becoming his judge. After completing her sacrifice of Eli she decides to join the cult.

Castiel - First on his mind - 13x01 - 13x05 - Destiel Canon in Early Season Thirteen
So I’m still not over this.  The confession before the confession. This is the moment that I completely stopped questioning whether Destiel was canon.  At the end of season 12 Dean has just lost everyone but Sam at once. There is not much whiskey spilled for Crowley, and Sam is unwilling to accept the loss of Mary, but neither of those are what Dean is focused on.
undefined
youtube
Dean prays to god - to chuck - I think for the only for only the second time in the entire series. Dean prays in earnest for the return of Castiel.  He mentions others but he has just lost his mother and yet his first demand is “and now you’re going to bring HIM back. You’re gunna bring them all back.”  
Dean mentions everyone, his family, bobby, even Crowley, but he starts with Castiel.  It parallels Castiel’s first version of the 15x18 deathbed confession in 12x12.  “I love you. I love all of you.”  A mirrored response.
Below the cut for full analysis of Dean’s prayer, grief, and closet themes in the first 1/4 of season 13.
Dean’s prayer goes unanswered and he beats the door up in a visual homage to brokeback mountain (x). It is at this point chronologically that Dean completely loses his shit.  In the car on the way to the pirate stop Dean is unable to say the words out loud. 
 “Let’s see, Crowley’s dead, Kelly’s dead, Cass is... ... Mom’s gone, and apparently the Devil’s kid hit puberty in 30 seconds flat.” 
Sam asks if Cass is really dead and unable to say those words Dean goes stoic as he can and says, “you know he is.” Dean’s upset, very upset, and that grief and anger is not focused on Mary.
Dean gains a tiny instantaneous moment of hope from a demon who then completely smashes it.
After his prayer Dean becomes completely inconsolable, an angry vengeance machine, the killer he used to project himself to be.  The change is supposed to be such a plot point, such a surprise twist, that it is only revealed LATER that it happened.  Such a major plot point that it must be teased and foreshadowed, with Sam asking Dean, “Dude, whatdiyou do to your hand?”  Giving the viewer their third clue that Dean did not have this cut on his hand from the fight with Lucifer and Jack.
Dean spends five full episodes without Castiel after dropping to his knees beside Castiel in 12x23, and in that time we see Dean unravel.  
In 13x01 he no longer cares about secrecy, immediately explaining the situation to the sheriff.  We see him choosing to approach Castiel’s body alone, looking upon him with such deep pain, tenderly wrapping, pausing multiple times to steel himself so he can finish that task.  Sam continues to get more and more concerned for Dean’s mental state.  Dean taking out his anger and rage and grief all on newborn Jack who continues to do nothing wrong and idolizes Dean.  
We see Dean drink himself under the table, rage against Sam and Jack, and actually become suicidal, killing himself in an unnecessary way with a flimsy excuse.  Billie sees it and notes something has changed.  He no longer believes he can win and no longer wants to live.     
At the shifter Psychiatrist, Dean says that Sam is delusional because Sam won’t admit that Mary is dead, “If he admits it then it’s real. If it’s real, then he has to deal with it, and he can’t handle that.”  Yet we repeatedly see Dean trails off unable to say the words that Castiel is dead.  This is not how Dean has reacted to the loss of Sam, John, Mary, Charlie, or any other familial loved one. 
In his loss of Castiel, Dean becomes John in the aftermath of his loss of Mary. Dean becomes the abusive father to Jack that he himself grew up with.  Jack has a moment of self harm and Dean ‘comforts’ Jack by telling him he’ll kill him so he can’t hurt anyone else. 
Jody’s Speech to Patience - In Contrast to Dean’s
In addition to Dean’s grief the writers show Dean struggle with his identity - with whether to stay in the closet.  In the third episode of the season - Patience - Dean tells Patience to deny who she really is. 
“This life, [hunting] there’s no joy in it there’s nothing but pain horror and death. So if you get a chance at normal, you take it.”   
Jody corrects Dean. In disbelief.  “You don’t have to listen to him, to either of them if it’s not what you really want.” Jody then talks about her daughter Claire, her gay daughter Claire.  
“I asked her to stay in line, to fight who she really was ‘cause I thought it would keep her safe. It didn’t work. It never does. ... you try to force it down to make someone else happy, you will only make yourself miserable.”
If that isn’t a blatant acknowledgement of the metaphor I don’t know what is.  This stopped being subtext and became... text.  Jody has dropped Dean clues about overcoming toxic masculinity before. In 12x06 Jody and Dean talked about big feelings, and that conversation was preceded by Dean beings shocked that Jody could be both badass & like chick flicks at the same time.  She’s been teaching him. However, this time was much more directly and specifically about coming out of the closet, about living in a way that is true to yourself.
After the loss of Castiel, the Dean that had developed over 12 years was gone - and he only returns upon the return of Castiel, right in time for tombstone. 
Meanwhile we get Castiel’s side - where he is being tortured by the Empty with his love for Dean and his fear that Dean doesn’t love him in return. 
Everytime Dean can't say Cas is dead I die a little inside.
Tumblr media
"...no matter who we lost, whether it was Dad or -- or Bobby or... And I would take the hit."
"...and now Mom and ... and Cas... And I -- I don't know. I don't know."
Dean was in love with Cas. Dean is bisexual. Dean has spent 12 years unwilling to admit it. 
Dean had been repeatedly lit in orange in the car rides, but the second he believes Castiel is alive his face is inexplicably relit in white light.
Tumblr media
We then come to the final shots of the episode - where the camera COMPLETELY IGNORES SAM and focuses exclusively on zoom in reaction shots between Dean and Castiel while “It’s never too later to start all over again” plays in this conclusion to a five episode romantic longing and grief arc completely platonic reunion between two dude bros.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also see the Orange Light / Dean’s Ongoing Fear of Loss Motif come to it’s climax, the burning of Castiel’s body (13x01), and Castiel’s return (13x05).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I legitimately don’t know what the writers thought they were doing if they WEREN’T explicitly writing a romance story.
It was much later that we learned there was an angle we never got of their reunion, where Dean was cupping Cas's face and neck in his right hand.
But we do get the look on Dean's face in 13x06 when he's able to get his arms around Cas after he's deflected and called Cas 'Pal' again, Gif via @inacatastrophicmind

Sigh. It’s quiet today, so I guess it’s about time to talk about 12x06: Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox.  
Tumblr media
This is an episode without Cas, so clearly it revolves entirely around Cas (I'm kidding, but only a little bit).  It’s also a bottle episode and a meta writer’s wet dream, so excuse me while I nerd out - this is a long one to unpack, and I have spent too much time doing it for you.  That’s ok because, as Sam says:
Tumblr media
DIVE IN AFTER THE CUT BUDDIES!
The Asa montage is where we start.
Asa is a Dean mirror. The parallels are pretty clear - he’s a scruffy rough around the edges hunter, Mary is the reason he got into hunting, he wears a ton of flannel, etc.  If you remain unsure, the writers throw this in at the very beginning in the montage of Asa’s life as a hunter So That You Know:
Bucky: Hey, you know they make new cars, right? Asa: I don’t want a new car. This is my lucky car. 
***Canadian!Dean confirmed.
Shaine Jones may also be the Canadian Jensen Ackles.
Tumblr media
I don’t make the rules ok?
Back in the US, the boys surprise Jody with a visit. 
In case you forgot the episode prior to this one:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Side note: domestic Jody gives me life. 
We’re clearly supposed to see how Jody is a mom figure for the boys, and it feels nice for them to have that, especially since Mary is Taking Some Space.  Their entire dynamic warms even my cold black soul.
Tumblr media
[romantic scene of a couple silhouetted against a sunset while sweeping music plays on Jody’s TV. The couple kisses.] 
DEAN
[his mouth full of pizza] Jody, you watching some kind of chick flick here?
JODY
Well, Dean. I’m a chick. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kim Rhodes YOU ARE A DELIGHT.  A side note - I know this exchange is supposed to be funny, but I feel sad for Dean (who clearly is a rom com chick).  This is a perfect example of Dean struggling to present some fabricated image of heteronormative masculinity that’s not the heart of who he actually is.  His surprise that a “badass sheriff chick” can also enjoy rom coms makes me fucking upset.  
ALSO:
Tumblr media
Anyway, Asa has passed on and the boys tag along with Jody to the wake in support.  
SAM
Yeah, no, Jody. We… we know you’ll be fine, but… you know, we never go to hunter gatherings, outside of bars. Dad always said they were trouble, so…
DEAN
Yes, you’d be doing us a favor if you let us tag along.
***more receipts that John Winchester was an isolating abuser.  They could have at least had a normal HUNTER life and friends who hunted.
SAM  
That is a big house. [Music continues playing, coming from inside the house now]
***We now establish one “theme” of the episode.
JODY
Family home. Asa was just a guy. 
AKA pretty brutal implication that Asa didn’t have a family of his own.
Speaking of implications:
[Jody removes her coat and the three of them begin mingling. Dean finds his way to the kitchen and a cooler full of beer] DEAN
No label. Well, that’s a red flag. 
****LOL WHAT THE FUCK IS THE REASON****
Tumblr media Tumblr media
....
....
....
Tumblr media
GIRL SEND HELP
Enter Bucky, who is actually (SPOILER!) the villain of the episode.
Do all hunters just walk around with this manly flannel/weird symbolic necklace combo?  Looking at you Bucky and Dean.  
Dean is surprised to find that people know who he is:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But doesn’t seem to have an issue with it until -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
***Someone who just bragged the entire five hour car ride about killing Hitler shouldn’t be this concerned about what people are saying about him right? 
Or is he thinking it may involve something he isn’t comfortable sharing - since apparently there are things Dean doesn’t feel comfortable sharing as established by the prior couch conversation with Jody?  Hmmmmmm...
***Compare the expressions.  The “you’ve died four times” response is the same as the smug/proud “I killed Hitler” face.  The reaction to the “stories” is the “hey this is my personal business” reaction Dean had to Sam’s Japanese erotica art form comment. He is thinking specifically about something personal.
I wonder what it could be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t think any one had to teach Max Banes the art of seduction, but also thank you.
Also, manifesting Dean being raised by Max and Alicia’s Cool Witch Mom instead of John Trash Winchester.  Because that’s what we’re supposed to think here, correct?  Two sibling hunters usually present a brother mirror.
Worth noting Sam’s surprise that witches can also be hunters.  The John Winchester Bigotry Brain Rot runs deep.  (GOD the Sam-witch thing would have driven him crazy I LIVE FOR THAT).
Dean escapes to Asa’s office/room and proceeds to go through his things.
[Dean is in Asa’s office and finds an angel blade mounted on blue velvet inside an ornate glass-lidded box. He opens it, reaches in and pulls out the angel blade, comfortably spinning it in his hand when Sam walks in.]
SAM
Hey.
DEAN
Oh, hi. This is a real Angel Blade. I mean, this guy was legit. 
***that’s weird, why does Canadian!Dean have an angel blade?  We haven’t heard anything about angels yet, and it wasn’t in the opening montage.  Hmmmmmm, I say. Hmmmmmmm...
***Sam is also concerned about The Stories They Tell 
Tumblr media
This one particularly:
Tumblr media
Honestly I don’t know why he’s THAT surprised that people know he was possessed by Lucifer?  Didn’t he start like multiple apocalypses?  That’s something people tend to be in the know about. Anyhoo.
DEAN
Yeah. Apparently we’re a little bit legendary. 
SAM 
Yeah, but, I mean, so was Asa. Then a hunt went bad, and he ended up hanging from a tree, alone in the woods.
DEAN
He died on the job. No better way to go. 
SAM
You really believe that? 
DEAN
Yeah. What, you don’t? I mean, come on, Sam, it's not like we're in the “live till you're 90, die in your sleep” business. This? [Dean points at Asa’s hunting wall] This only ends one way. 
***Insert deep internal screaming about 15x20 here***
Tumblr media
It’s Jody’s turn to be uncomfortable as we find out she and Asa were more than just friends and everyone knew it and Said Things About It and Told Stories About It.
HMMMMMMM...
Dean is surprised that Jody not only enjoys rom coms, but ruggedly hot men. Another thing they have in common.
As Dean comes to terms with the idea that Jody can be a mother figure and also a human person with a life and her own feelings and needs and thoughts, enter the person whom said lesson is actually about:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a Kim Rhodes Facial Expression stan account now.
So cute how Jody knows immediately that Dean is not okay.  Time to reach:
JODY
Huh. Is that why you spent the entire ride up here telling me in extreme, excruciating detail how you killed Hitler, but, uh, you neglected to mention the fact that your mom is back from the dead? 
***look, it’s another Dean doesn’t like others knowing personal information parallel!***
DEAN 
Yeah, no big deal. 
JODY
That’s a lie.
DEAN
JODY …
JODY
Look, maybe this isn't my place, and this is epic stuff, but
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JODY
Yeah. Because what if I’ve changed. What if they changed? What if it just didn’t work out the way I wanted?  If you wanna talk about anything
Tumblr media
***Killing Hitler used yet again to show Dean doesn’t care about oversharing hunting stories, but he doesn’t like for people to know personal ones.  Also, Jody mentions her son and her husband.  Her family and her romantic partner.  
Dean wasn’t just reunited with Mary this season. He was also reunited with Cas, after saying goodbye to him at the end of Season 11 when he headed to what he thought was going to be his death as the Amara-bomb.
So, this conversation isn't just about Mary (the “anything”).  It’s also about Cas (the”...absolutely anything”).
Mary chats with Mama Fox and more Points Are Made about hunters not getting to have a “normal life” or family:
MARY
I saved his life. 
LORRAINE
[scoffing] What am I supposed to say to that? After you, Asa got so… Hunting was his whole life. He never married. Never had a family, kids. And now… enjoy the wake. 
***sending Mary on a guilt spiral about Asa (mirroring her other guilt spiral about hunting as a life for her own sons)
Speaking of mirrors:
BUCKY
And Asa loved that Jeep. Fuses were shorted, fuel line was busted. Ah, he didn’t care. He’d just roll up his sleeves, he’d get right to work. 
Tumblr media
Time to learn about today’s Big Bad.
BUCKY
Jael. He’s a crossroads demon. And he hangs people. It’s his thing. Snaps their neck, slits their throat. He’s a real piece of work. 
***Wait a second.  Jael is a demon?  Don’t...angel’s names usually end in “el” in SPNverse?
Samandriel.
Uriel.
Gabriel.
Raphael.
Gadreel.
Castiel.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Anyways the demon [questionable] killed Asa and now everyone  is trapped and also In Grave Danger.  
BUCKY
Exactly. Right, so five years later, Jael– he came back, and he came for Asa. 
JODY
How so? 
BUCKY
Asa was seeing this woman, right? She had a kid. 
LORRAINE
Marlene. 
BUCKY
Yeah, Marlene. Jael got into her. It didn’t matter that he was killing people, he wanted Asa to know it was personal. He gets off on it. 
***that’s so weird, didn’t someone else in the show start seeing a woman with a kid - 
Tumblr media
what a sexy little coincidence.
oh and didnt  a supernatural being come back right around that time too - 
Tumblr media
HMMMMMMMM.  No killing though.  That’s the difference between angels and demons, I guess.
(meanwhile Dean has been drinking alone outside - as he does, and is realizing he can’t get back in)
Tumblr media
HI QUEEN
Also, this immediately took me to 
Tumblr media
this show isn’t fair.
****sob break****
Jael Posession 1:
Tumblr media
So curious how there are two siblings and then one gets possessed by something Satanic and the other one is good at seducing men.
SO FUCKING CURIOUS.
Tumblr media
Jael Possession 2:
Elvis. Random.  Though he was the guy who brought up the Stories Sam Was Surprised Were Circulating -
Tumblr media
He was also oddly interested in it.  Methinks Elvis thoroughly enjoyed the Jael possession.
Bilie gets Dean back in the house.  The words “one-time deal” are said a lot of times.
BONUS: Jensen why are you so pretty:
Tumblr media
The hunters get to work, and I live for Max Bane’s pentagram aesthetic.
Tumblr media
MAX
I like a Fifth Pentacle of Mars. It’s got more character. 
***TBH, same.
Jael possession 3:
Tumblr media
****Kim Rhodes is even better when she is playing evil.
JODY/JAEL:
I had so hoped you’d kill your mom. Wouldn’t that be a riot? 
[Mary draws the angel blade and charges at Jody. She cuts Jody’s arm before Sam wrestles her away.] 
SAM
No! Mom!
MARY
What are you doing?! She’s a demon. We kill demons. 
Tumblr media
******WOOF MARY - I REPEAT TO YOU THAT THE JOHN TRASH WINCHESTER BRAIN ROT RUNS DEEP.
Also did you immediately flash back to this with me?
Tumblr media
Gets me thinking that Dean’s feelings for Cas are made twice as complicated by the fact that he is also a supernatural creature.  Another Reason Why John Winchester Would Disapprove.
****Just as he would Disapprove of Sam Being Possessed By the Devil and all that (never forget he told Dean to kill him because of the whole made unclean by demon blood thing). 
Right on cue:
JODY/JAEL
Oh, I have heard so many stories about you Winchesters. And I desperately want the Lucifer thing to be true.  
***Stories again. Jael proceeds to go into Stories That Are Dark Personal Shameful Secrets:
JAEL
As for the rest of you, I have been inside your heads. I know all about you. For example, the twins. Too frightened to tell anyone that they actually came to say goodbye to their daddy. Or the grieving mother who hated the fact that her son was a hunter so much she’d hide his gear, she’d sabotage his Jeep, anything to keep him from hunting. Not that it worked. Could’ve tried harder, huh? 
[She gestures at her own face] And this meatsuit you all seem to care so much about. She actually fantasized about a life with Asa. Can you believe that? Like that worthless man– 
***HMMMMMMMMM
[Bucky gets off the floor and sneaks up behind Jody/Jael] 
BUCKY 
Shut your filthy mouth. 
[Jody/Jael grabs Bucky by the neck and forces him to his knees] 
JODY/JAEL
And you. Bucky. Brave, brave Bucky. I was there that night. Tell these nice, stupid people what you did. Tell them what you took from me. Asa was mine. 
Tumblr media
***Excuse me? THIS IS GETTING VERY...subtextual.  A dark timeline supernatural being/hunter relationship [ending badly because demons only know how to take, consume and possess]? ...Asael?  CURIOUS. 
They chant the exorcism, a different hunter doing each iteration (beautifully done) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and send Jael back to hell, but not before Bucky shares his Shameful Story - he’s the one who killed Asa.
Elaboration:
BUCKY
Asa, he was just all– he was just always so stubborn. Look, we were in the woods. [We see the scene play out as Bucky describes it] Jael, he… he was taunting him. Asa wanted to chase him, but he didn’t have the angel blade. I said, “Let’s go back.” He called me a coward, and he shoved me, so I shoved him back, and he fell. He hit his head. Asa? I didn’t mean to do it. But it was a mistake. Asa. Asa? An accident. I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do. Asa hated that damn demon so much that I just…
DEAN
Oh, you thought people would buy that Jael killed him? So you hung your best friend to cover your own ass. 
BUCKY
What are you gonna do to me? 
ALICIA:
Tell everyone, every hunter we meet. They’re gonna know your name, Bucky. Know what you did. 
MAX
You like stories. This is the story everyone’s gonna tell about you. Forever. 
***Shameful Stories that Define You, what a theme.  Also, definitely a supernatural being potentially having some subtextual feelings for Canadian!Dean.  Hmmm.
***Funeral pyre and side discussion about how Asa did have a family, and children, and a potential supernatural sidepiece.
In conclusion, Supernatural is a love story.  Thank you for watching this dark timeline/Canadian dub.  You’re dismissed for the day.  Go eat bacon.

Destiel Chronicles
Vol. LXXVIII
It was a love story from the very beginning.
All For You (Part I)
(12x06/12x07/12x08)
Hello my friends! We are running fast with this season, this time I will talk about three episode, so remember I will focus on those details related with Destiel, and maybe brief comments about other topics.
So let's start!
What the mouth says
We met Asa Fox in episode 12x06, and first of all, let me say, he dies, and he's wearing blue color. (Raise your hands at the mention of another Cas mirror!)
Let's jump into a little funny scene...
Dean: [his mouth full of pizza] Jody, you watching some kind of chick flick here?
Jody: Well, Dean. I’m a chick.
Dean: No. No, no. You’re– you’re a badass sheriff chick. You’re not a-a rom com chick. Wait, are you a rom com chick?
Jody: Are you?
Okay, this is the way Dean talks with himself, because deep inside, this man is a sweet, romantic bean. He puts this wall around him, because he has this toxic masculinity saying him being romantic is chick flick thing. But even so, with Cas, he will show this chick flick side, gifting him the mixtape. So yes, Dean is a rom com rick.
This is a Yockey's episode, so we will have a lot of hints about Destiel showing up with mirrors.
I quickly wanna point that, as I said before, Asa is a Cas mirror, he's a legend, handsome, and well known by women. Everyone were carry the dead differently, but Jody, Jody was his lover. So she would feel the lost more deeply. She is now taking the place a mourning girlfriend would take. Then, she's representing future mourning Dean here.
There's a huge difference between what Dean says and what Dean really feels.
He repeated what he had learned from his dad and Bobby and many others hunters he met in this dialogue with Sam:
Dean: He died on the job. No better way to go.
Sam: You really believe that?
Dean: Yeah. What, you don’t? I mean, come on, Sam, it's not like we're in the “live till you're 90, die in your sleep” business. This? [Dean points at Asa’s hunting wall] This only ends one way.
Sam points out at those words his brother is saying, 'You really believe that?' because he's almost sure, after all these years, maybe his brother doesn't think the same the old hunters had said. But Dean comes back and repeats it again. There's a huge difference, as I said, between these old statement and what Dean really wants. We will discover it slowly through the followings seasons.
Focusing again in Asa/Jody as a Destiel mirror, we will be hit by the idea of Jody fantasizing about having a life with Asa, just like Dean with Cas. And the way Asa dies, a demon who wanted to be 'personal' is a huge foreshadow of Lucifer killing Castiel to make it personal for Dean.
Finally, let's talk about family love vs romantic love, because Yockey will play in this episode with Mary coming back after leaving and episode 12x19, when Cas comes back, and the difference in Dean's reaction to it...
Gif set creditb@artemiskitsune
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you pay attention to the dialogue between Dean and Mary, is less dramatic, compared with the reaction he will have with Cas. Is more calm, and less raged. He's mad and he's scolding his mom for leaving and not sending enough messages as he would like.
Sam words are more wise, and will present us what Dean really feels...
Sam: (...) We just got you back, [Sam continues while we see Dean outside drinking from his flask] and he's just scared we're gonna lose you again, (...)
This settles perfectly what Dean feels for his mom, but also, explains Dean's reaction to Castiel coming back, not just in episode 12x19, but mostly after he will come back from the Empty. The trauma and fears in loosing Cas again. Explaining why he decides to jump into the AU without saying a word to Cas, or before he comes back in season 13.
We also had Mary uncovering Asa's dead face, mirroring Dean in the future uncovering Castiel's face when he was dead.
Sacrifice myself for you
Episode 12x07 gave us a cute Destiel moments, mostly Cas being sassy with Dean. The well known lumberjack scene. Which showed us how Cas replies sassy at Dean, even when Sam was on the let's joke about Cas' wardrobe in LA.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gif set credit @lesbianlenas
We did have worried Husband Dean with eyes on his angel on the stage, when Lucifer was fighting with him too... Hearteyes.
I want to talk too about Roseleen and her devotion, pathologic devotion, towards Vince Vincente. She willingly cut her skin and took off one teeth for him. Like a sacrifice, plus the song that sounds like Ladyheart's hit "Bloody Messiah", knowing Jesus Christ was the Messiah for Christianity, we have here more symbolism for the big sacrifice we will have at the end of this season. Sacrifice for love.
Jealousy and foreshadowing the Empty
Episode 12x08 is purely Lucifer too, but we had a couple of interesting things.
CAS and CROWLEY: Agents. Agents.
DEAN: Okay, this has gotta stop.
Dean is done with this duo, but mostly jealousy is the one talking here.
Before focus myself into the title of this episode, I want to stop a second in the Lucifer/President scene. We have the darkness and Lucifer talking with the president, so we have two presidents in the dark. Just like we will have two Cas (Cas and the Empty) talking in the Void.
Now, Lotus. Is related to purity, and not for nothing we will have fem!AUMICHAEL wearing a lotus ring or allusions to Indi gods (pictures in episode 14x03) on the wall with lotus flowers.
Who's the lotus flower? Who will be conceived in this episode? Yes: Jack.
To Conclude:
In this first part I wanted to show you how the written were giving hints about Castiel's death and the Empty.
How the angel will be willingly to give everything for love, even his life. Like a 'bloody messiah'.
Hope you like this none, see you in the next one!

Man, my lesbian survivors died in State of Decay earlier. I’m so ticked off!
I got a doctor with the last name Fear who I was gonna make our warlord because that would be the coolest thing ever. But instead he’s a kind-hearted vegan who couldn’t even kill his boyfriend when they turned.
So instead I was gonna make Rosie the sheriff and I took her girlfriend along to help some survivors get back their medicine from bandits. I did things peacefully, took the medicine and then got shot at on the way out. The girl we were helping died immediately, then we were surrounded. Andrea, the girlfriend, died. I barely killed all the guys and then a undead Andrea killed me.
So in the end we got a really poetic ending of Rosie trying to do good in the world and paying the price for it instead. Plus dying to your zombie girlfriend is super dramatic even if I did speed run “kill your gays.” But hey, Dr. Fear is bi so there’s that.
I was gonna start a new game but I just realized they created the perfect narrative in which to make our group leader a warlord: half our group died helping people so now we gotta look after ourselves like the military chick was saying. Plus we still get Dr. Fear as her badass lieutenant.

It's Black History Month, so it's time to make my tribute for the month. So, when I heard Green Lantern Sojourner 'Jo' Mullein, I didn't really have an opinion on her. I mean, black chick with a pompadour and a Green Lantern ring and a badass green suit and Kamina shades, that checks a lot of boxes for me design wise, but kept myself reserved cause design is 1/2 of a character. The other half is how they're written. So I binged 10 issues of 'Far Sector', her solo book where she's basically acting as a lone sheriff on a far, FAR off planet in a sector so far from Oa that it might not even be on the books with what I can only call an experimental lantern ring. And, well, while I was initially on the fence throughout the story, I not only drew to like it, but I think it's a good story and I grew to love Jo.

Chick Flick Marathon
w/c - 555 warnings – domestic fluff, established Destiel summary – While Castiel is out of town, Dean spends time with Jody. A/N - couldn’t help myself and wrote a little thing for the art <3
👉 Read it on Ao3     Tumblr masterlist
Wonderful art by and used with permission from the wonderful @diminuel​
Tumblr media
Jody’s phone buzzed on the counter. She smiled when she saw the name. “Hey, Dean, what’s up!” “Hey Jody! How you doin’!” “I’m doing great. The girls all have something this weekend, so I’m finally gonna relax.” “What about I pop in and we spend some time together?” “I planned on staying in my pj’s and watching chick flicks.” “I’m down.” “What?” “Cas has this thing. I thought, I haven’t seen you in a while. He can come and pick me up tomorrow when he’s done.” “Dean Winchester, down for a chick flick marathon?” “Hell yeah.” “Aren’t you a fearless hunter?” “Aren’t you a badass sheriff?” They laughed and Dean told Jody he’ll be there in a few.
After Castiel left Dean at Jody’s, Dean announced he had to change and came back to the living room with a triumphant air. “I’m ready! Is the popcorn ready? What are we watching first?” Jody laughed, pointing at Dean’s pj pants. “Hot dogs?” “Hell yeah. You said pj party! I’m all in.” “Alright, fearless hunter!” “Bring it on, badass sheriff!”
They watched their first movie with popcorn, the second with pizza, the third with bourbon. Dean made Jody promise to never tell a soul – not even Cas – that he cried at the end of the last movie. Anyway, it was because he’d had too much bourbon.
The morning after, Dean made Jody pancakes. Then, they decided they had time for another movie before Castiel came to get Dean.
The movie was nearing its end when the doorbell rang. Dean jumped off the couch. “That’s Cas!” He ran to the door. “Hey Cas!” He gave him a kiss. “How did your thing go?” “It went well, thank you.” “Come in! We’re almost finished with the movie. Come sit with us!” Castiel came in. “Hello Jody.” “Hey Castiel. Want some cold popcorn from last night?” “No, thank you.” Jody and Dean chuckled. They knew cold buttered popcorn is eww. Castiel sat in the armchair, squinting at the screen. “How much time do you have left?” Dean waved in his direction. “About half an hour. Shh.” He unpaused the movie.
When the movie was done and Dean changed back in his day clothes, they hugged Jody goodbye. Dean gave her a big bear hug, promising her they’ll do this again soon. “And this time, I’ll bring my favourite movies, and some actual good snacks.” Jody faked being offended. “Popcorn is good. It’s a classic!” “Yes, but it lacks… diversity. I’ll bring the good stuff.” “Alright, alright. C’mere.” She took Dean in a bear hug again. “OK, now, boys, off you go. Nice to see you, Castiel.” “You too, Jody. Thanks for spending time with Dean. You seemed to enjoy yourselves.” “It was great. Be careful on the road, OK?” Dean huffed. “Jody. It's me.” He gave her a kiss on the cheek. “OK now, bye.” “Bye.”
Jody watched the boys walk to the car, hearing them argue. “Come on, Cas, gimme the keys.” “I can drive perfectly well, Dean.” “But I missed Baby, I want to drive her.” Jody laughed as she closed the door on an unimpressed Castiel throwing the keys to a beaming Dean.
Smiling, she folded the blanket and threw away last night’s popcorn as she heard the rumble of the car fade away in the distance.

Veronica/Weevil fic recs
The Enemy You Know (21k, M) by kierya
When dealing with an opponent who may be smarter than you, it's best to let them think themselves to death.
This is my #1 must-read; I’ve re-read it at least four times in the last month. It’s a season 1 AU and its re-imagination of some of the main storylines (like Veronica’s assault) is compelling, and the character voices and dynamic between Weevil and Veronica are pitch-perfect.
Remix (11k, M) by kierya
"Weevil!" It's a woman's voice behind him in the club; Eli's twenty-nine and no one's called him that name for years. Still, the reflex never really goes away, so he turns around to look before he has a chance to think about it. If he'd thought about it, he might've kept on walking. Weevil's a name from the past and the past is bad news--you can count on that.
Logan/Veronica/Weevil. Futurefic set ten years after the end of the show, but which only takes season 1 into account. Some more really interesting re-imaginations of what happened to all three of them, including the scene on the bridge, and speculation about how Lilly affected their lives.
Goodbye, Neptune (6k, E) by igrockspock
On the eve of her departure from Neptune, Veronica agrees to take one last case.  If it requires her to pretend she's dating Weevil Navarro?   Well, there are worse ways to say goodbye to Neptune.
This was written for me several years ago for Rare Pair Fest and it ROCKS. Post-season 3, before Veronica leaves for Stanford. Includes fake dating, case shenanigans, banter, and hot sex.
The author has also written a lot of good VM fic in general, including this piece of Weevil gen that takes place between the series and the movie.
Just to Occupy One Minute of Your Day (1k, G) by catefrankie
‘course, people aren’t exactly lining up to be friends with Veronica these days; he basically only has to share her with the Sheriff and that Wallace kid, so the joke is on…someone.  Probably not Lilly, since Lilly would have enjoyed Veronica’s dramatic me-against-the-world attitude.  Maybe Duncan, except Duncan doesn’t seem to care.  Maybe the joke is on Logan – vendetta or no vendetta, the possessive asshole probably wouldn’t like it much that his old ‘buddy’ Veronica has shown up on Weevil’s doorstep, bearing baked goods of all things.
Missing scene post-1.07; Veronica bakes Weevil thank-you cookies. Cute and canon-compliant.
Push and Pull (2k, T) by sowell
Weevil + Veronica = the most badass roommates ever.
A font of delicious unresolved sexual tension with Logan/Veronica in the background.
Departures (2k, M) by JaqofSpades
He has to admit it: they look good together, the stuff of a thousand chick flicks. The military hero and his little blonde lover.  Problem is, this is Neptune, and life ain't no romcom.
With background canon relationships, but focused on the dynamic between Weevil and Veronica. A slice of narration from Weevil’s voice post-movie but not compliant with what we know from the books or season 4. Compelling angst, bitterness, and fatalism.
Preparation is the Father of Inspiration (2k, E) by noplacespecial
"No 'naughty or nice' jokes, no talk of spiking the eggnog, and no inappropriate mistletoe placement."
Season 3-ish; the Mars invite Weevil to Christmas, and shenanigans ensure when they go on an errand. Cute, fun, and hot.
Planets All Align (15k, T) by noplacespecial
A collection of S1 gapfillers/post-ep pieces with a WeeVer spin; mostly short little vignettes.
This is a series of very cute and in-character “missing scenes” and other encounters between Veronica and Weevil. Canon compliant, so gen with some light UST. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated for a while, but what’s there is well worth reading.

Faves and fails of SPN (season 12):
Favorite episodes in chronological order:
12:3 The Foundry - Mylings! Nuff said. And I knew it as soon as I heard the baby cry. And that makes me feel good about me.
12:4 American Nightmare - Stigmata. Dean dressed as a priest getting stuck looking at a boy lighting a candle in the church. Mr Mess: ”Dean! Time and place!” Sam wasting his sensemaking on a relentlessly angry Dean as usual, but then laying the hard truth on the crazy lady - is it hot in here?
12:5 The One You’ve Been Waiting For - Nazi dirtbags! Referencing one of the great episodes of season 8 too. Good. Good. And Allison Paige is friggin’ beautiful! Nauhaus is such a spoofy villain I think this is a comedy. ”Do you know what it’s like to have en nazi necromancer as a father?” ”He had a guy named Fritz try to kill me!” GOLD.
12:6 Celebrating the life of Asa Fox - badass-intro. And Jody. Hunter community! Canadian hunter community! Here for it. Bucky, or as I like to call him: demon nr 5 from early season.... single digits.
12:7 Rock never dies - Loving this glam-metal thing. Crowley in LA. And omg! Cass being snarky with Dean of all people. ”Atleast I don’t look like a lumberjack.” I laughed. And Mr Mess pointed out that Cass is tired, that that’s why he snapped, and it dawned on me that Cass is *choosing* to be kind under normal circumstances. My heart! ”I work for sexists, rasists, even politicians.” Lol. Loving the group dynamic of the four. But I’m a bit disappointed that Lucifer can’t chill, he could have had so much fun.
12:11 Regarding Dean - A goofy Dean episode. That’s rarely bad news. I like Rowena in this, she’s rly growing on me.
Tumblr media
12:15 Somewhere between heaven and hell - Honesty’s the best policy, signed, Dean. Hear, hear! ”So, ten years ago did you rly want something? Like, a Hello Kitty backpack or the death of an enemy?” Lol! Dean and Crowley and Lucifer breaking free! Dean is a hoot this episode. Sam, killing the hellhound like a pro, and thanking Crowley. And Crowley kicking Lucifer’s ass. That’s the stuff. And Sam being honest with Dean and Dean being all reasonable about it! Loving it!
12:16 Ladies drink free - Claire! Nuff said. Loving everyone this episode, except Mick of course, but my homicidal thoughts at the sight of his beard have lessened. ”The experiment was on mice.” Werewolf-mice! XD
12:17 The british invasion - Eileen! God this show needs more women, the brothers are so much better dealing w them, which I guess is a problem on its own. ”Make your voice a mail.” Oh Cass. Eileen and Sam! My heart! Am I shipping this? God I hope not, it’ll mean instant death. God, Mick is an idiot, I mean, I’m obv digging his change of heart, but apparently he hasn’t learned a thing in the entire life he’s worked for his fucky organization.
Tumblr media
12:18 The memory remains - Goodness. Loving this intro. Taxidermist sheriff. Man, sometimes I feel these quirky characters are wasted on the just-passing-through format. ”Hunting people! Killing them! The family business!” Lol.
Fail episodes in chronological order:
12:1 Keep Calm and Carry on - ”You’re bad at your job.” Sure, she has a point, but as generous as this british chick’s offer is, her pitch is somewhat lacking. A torture montage is the quickest way to wind up on the fail list. Also ”break his mind”? That’s what it’s like inside Sam’s head *all* the time.
12:2 Mamma Mia - A sexscene featuring Dean Forrester is the second quickest way to wind up on the fail list. You say his name is Sam Winchester? Nah. Nope. Not buying it. Listen, I know I talk a tall game about being a big Sam-fan, I just don’t ship him with a.n.y.o.n.e. So what the sexscene isn’t real!? I still had to see it with my own orbs of sight. ”Your job was to find american hunters and gain their trust.” I’m howling! Maybe *you’re* rly bad at your job, lady!
12:10 Lily Sunder has some regrets - uhm... using demon number 5 to play other randos throughout a 15 season show I’ll forgive them for but you can’t use the same distinct actor (Ian Tracey) to play two distinctly different characters (Lee/Ishim) and not acknowledge it, especially when they could easily explain it as Lee’s body being possessed by Ishim. It ruins the whole episode for me. Also, I’m rooting for the ”bad” guy.
12:14 The raid - The british men of letters are the worst, they are worthless recruiting agents, salesmen and got crappy intel; where the Winchesters go the rest of the american hunters will follow? Pretty sure the opposite is true: ”Oh shit, the Winchesters are joining ’em? Better stay as far away from that shit as possible!” Also Mary’s being more than a little silly and I’m surprised Sam didn’t give her some speech about how he used to aim for big things like killing the devil, closing the gates of hell, before learning to settle for more realistic goals, like, staying alive, keepin your brother alive, savoring the occasional win, y’know, for the sake of your mental health. Anyhoo; Sam’s reaction on finding out Mary gave the Colt to the british men of letters might have been enough put it on the fave list but there are just so many icky characters and so many shots of Mick’s ugly beard I can’t let it slide. Plus Sam winds up joining these assholes. Boooohhhh!
12:20 Twigs & twine & Tasha Banes - Jeez. Petition to have Dean always justify his icky feelings about something w the Star Wars classic ”i got a bad feeling about this.” It would save time and my sanity. Also I have issues w Mary not being reasonable and understanding the basics about the life she and the boys are leading - you’re in or out, but there’s no finishing it w/o finishing yourself. Is this season’s big bad trying to annoy me to death? And the other hunters? What is it with this show and any other fun or awesome characters? Sorry, can’t keep ’em on, it’s a density-thing.
12:21 There’s something about Mary - Booohh! First Eileen, my bae (did I call it or did I call it?) and then the entire episode is full of The Big Annoying. First episode I didn’t bother finishing. Screw this season.
12:23 All along the watchtower - honestly I don’t get the constant jokes about IKEAs manuals, they’re all pictures, you don’t even need to be able to read to read them. Crowley <3 Plz spare me this show’s take on child birth, really just any show, (how is it possible that it’s so frickin’ hard to get right??), but especially this show’s. And Crowley. And Cass. And Mary. Such an intense bummer.
Honorable mentions:
Crowley blowing up Rowena’s scammer! And Rowena’s reaction! ”That is the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for me!” Covered in blood. Priceless.
Cass and his sass is on this season. He’s so done w everyone. The exasperation!
The hug at the end of 12:22.
Dishonorable mentions:
Dean and Sam making a deal to get out of jail, kinda unepic w a predictable outcome.
Mediocre mentions:
The entire episode Stuck in the middle (with you) - It’s a Reservoir Dogs reference right? And it works very well until you realize that, then you just start missing Tarantino’s poignant dialogue about tipping (not fucking!) your waitress. The return of the yelloweyed bloodline. Bound to happen with Mary back. Don’t care about that but I do care about Crowley being back and being awesome. The Dukes of Haphazard. That’s good, I’ve just been referring to them as the Two Stooges.
Tumblr media
The episode Who we are - There are separate aspects of this I like: Dean and Sam blasting their way out of the bunker, Jody and Alex, Dean dreamwalking Mary back home. Ackles is a genius with this sort of thing. But it’s just so silly: The british men of letters are just so unepic, it ruins everything, wraps it in a mediocre blanket: They’re bad at their job, have inexplicable motivations, are such annoying stereotypes the only way this would be a win would’ve been if Sam’s speech went something along the lines of ”I’ve had this fly buzzin’ around my ear all year, I could use your help squashing it.” But at least, then they do.
Summing up:
I’m rly enjoying the warped relationships early in the season. Crowley and Cass. Rowena and Lucifer, Rowena and Crowley. Sam, Dean and Mary. But my usual creed about the gooey middles of seasons doesn’t hold true this time and I rly feel like it gets good only when it’s almost over. And honestly on whole the season is the worst so far. The british men of letters are so annoying and they’re everywhere, tainting everything. Ugh.

A Neverending Story (The Eighties Blasts Collection, Part 2.)
Description: Jim Hopper died as a hero. But with that, one certain problem rises up - who will now lead the cops of Hawkins? Hopper thought of that - he decided to write a letter, naming his niece, nineteen-year-old student of Indianapolis police academy, Y/N Hopper as a sheriff deputy in a letter. But anybody in the town doesn’t have a clue that being a cop in Hawkins is way more dangerous than it might seem.
Pairing: Steve Harrington x Hopper!Reader (eventually) - the story is more driven by the relationships in the gang.
A/N: Right now, I was on a two-day trip through half of my country and I downloaded the complete season 1. and 2. into my phone, so I am full of excitement.
Warnings: Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley being best friends and dorks together.

The ride with Nancy was actually quite enjoyable since she wasn't shying away in front of you, her summer-holiday childhood best friend. You two, working but still teenagers, sang as loudly as you could, making Nancy laugh and forget about the realization that Johnathan was gone from Hawkins.
You totally rampaged the local supermarket buying some sweets and popcorn for the night while talking about what should you watch that night. You settled down on Raiders of the Lost Ark - because you both thought that Harrison Ford is definitely a hottie in that one. 
When you stop at the store, Nancy opened her mouth and then looked at you with sparks in her eyes. She didn't know that another of your childhood summer friends had a shift that day, but apparently, there he was.
“He is going to be thrilled to see you.” - She sang to your ear as you walked to the shop. Last three years you were visiting uncle Jim, Steve Harrington turned from a lovely dork to a douche - at least that was what Hop told you about him. You saw him only once or twice, riding the street down in his car, smoking a cigarette, looking all badass. 
You two haven't spoken in what felt like a whole zenith. 
“You sure about that? Last time I saw him, he was a jackass.” - You told Nancy as you entered the shop together. Steve Harrington with his hair game on was behind the counter, talking with a young chick and tried to charm her panties away. - “It's nice to see that some things and some people never change.” - You chuckled quietly to Nancy and left for searching the movie. And you were clueless because there were so many movies to choose from.
“Alright ladies, I saw that you're little lost in our beautiful land of fantastic movies. I am your guide, Steve, so hold me tight.” - A voice started to speak behind your back. You almost freaked out so much you kicked him in the balls. So you just put your hand on your chest, laughing lightly.
“You are still actually five, huh?” - You turned your face to him and Nancy turned to him with a smile as well. He opened his mouth and almost shouted before he picked you off the ground to spin you around. He. Was. Still. Such. A. Child. Jesus.
“I can't believe you're back! Big city life was too boring for you, huh?” - Steve put you down, freaking out. A girl came after your group with an opened mouth, silently asking Steve if he went crazy or what. - “Oh, this is my best friend Robin and this is our summer friend Y/N. Hopper’s niece. I gave this lady my best years.” 
And when you started to think that you could miss Steve at least a bit, there he was all in his jackassness. 
“Summer friend? Best years? You're mentally still on year five to year seven, dingus. Name’s Robin.” - She smiled at you, her grip on your hand was pretty firm. - “Hi, Nance. Well, I'm gonna watch the counter while you're trying to pretend you're not a dingus. Ladies.” - Robin smiled and walked away.
“So... A ladies night?” - Steve looked at both of you, playing with his fingers at a fast pace. - “Are you looking for a romantic movie, a comedy, a horror maybe?” - He rose his eyebrows and you stopped for a moment. This wasn't that idiot Jim was sending to hell all the time. There must've been something going on, otherwise, you couldn't comprehend.
“Actually, were here for the  Raiders of the Lost Ark because Harrison Ford is always a win.” - Nancy giggled and Steve made his best-surprised face. 
“Adventure it is, then. Follow me, ladies, and try not to get lost.” - Steve turned around in nothing else than another dingus move. It couldn't be named differently even if you tried to. Nancy leaned to you. - “I told you that he will be thrilled.” 
Steve tried another of his dingus tricks on you - but then you realized why is he acting like that. Hopper. He knew about Hopper. He was doing it to make you laugh. Were you softening a bit too much or did you find it nice of him? That was the young lovely boy you remembered.
Then you proceeded to the counter, Steve insisting on marketing your order so he could to you for a moment longer.
“So, you're here to just say hi and then you'll leave to live your big city life or you'll be staying for a while?” - He looked at you while he packed your order.  Nancy was leaning to the counter by your side and smiling at the both of you.
“Guess you will see me more often from now on.” - You shook your shoulders and took your purse out. But he made you put it back - did he seriously paid the renting of the movie? 
“That’s a blast! We can have a hangout, just like the old times, having some dinner and maybe fo to the movies? Or hang out at the quarry? What do you say, girls?” - Steve gave you the bag, leaning his elbows to the counter as well. - “We can take Robin with us or plan something with the douchebags.” 
“I will be busy. Work.” - You took the bag, preparing to leave. Nancy smiled at Steve. - “Same.” - She said.
“Where do you work? Here? In Hawkins?” - Steve asked - this time his face was totally serious. 
“You're looking at the local deputy Hopper. You try to break the law and you bet that I'll be there to arrest your ass, Steve Harrington. I know where you live.” - You joked and entwined your elbow with Nancy’s while you laughed. 
“You would put my irresistible face to jail? Come on, Y/N.” - He yelled with laughter while you and Nancy were leaving the shop.
“It would be my pleasure, Harrington! And don't flatter yourself that much!” - You yelled back before the door closed.

Steve and Robin stood behind the counter of a completely empty store, watching after it. Robin was loudly dotting to her calculator, which Steve could only barely stand. She was obviously doing it completely to fuck Steve up, but he wasn't giving himself in too easily. But when she was doing it for almost half an hour, he couldn't but snap.
"When you will hit the calculator harder it doesn't mean that your mathematical problem will be solved quicker, Robin." - He snapped with a smile, but even though he said it gently. Robin looked at him innocently, like she hadn't a single idea why is he mad at her.
"If my calculations are correct..." - She rose up the machine which had 8008135 written in the small display, which could be also read as 'boobies'. - "You have it hard for that girl."
"Nancy?" - Steve exclaimed with an unbelievable laugh. - "I'm far behind it, Robin. Thank you, next, that relationship was here, didn't last long and now it's far gone." - He sat on the counter, jamming to a song in the background. Robin put both her hands next to his thighs, opening her mouth wide.
"I totally forgot about you and Nancy, wow. It feels like centuries ago, doesn't it?" - She giggled. - "But I'm talking about the other one. Hopper's niece.”
“Y/N? Are you crazy?” - Steve bumped into her forehead with his pointing finger. - “She is like a girl, but she is dangerous and scary, just like her uncle.” - Steve admitted without a single doubt. Y/N Hopper was just as scary as her uncle Jim when she needed to. And now, she was even a badass since she studied the police academy.
“She doesn't look like Hopper at all. She maybe speaks like him, but she's way more gentle than him. I like her.” - Robin leaned next to him while playing with a minx smile on her posh lips.
“Don’t even try to hit on her. I don't want to see you get hurt, asshole. She is into boys, I am sure of that.” - Steve raised his eyebrows and chuckled a bit.- “I remember that one time before the sophomore year when she found her very first boyfriend like... Ever. Hopper was capable of tracking him down and kicking his sorry little ass to a ball." - Steve said with a sad smile, trapped in his own memories. Robin smiled as well, but she didn't answer for a moment.
"But don't try to tell me that you, the biggest ladies man in Hawkins didn't think of her as a lady. Come on." - Rodin bumped her first into his upper thigh. Steve thought about it for a second before shaking his head.
"I had actually never." - Steve said with a new burst of self-confidence. - "See? That's a step up from my former persona." - He told her loudly as she walked into the depths of the shop with laughter.
"But she's a good sparring partner if you want to use irony and be all kinds of tough. She seemed fun. And it all looked like flirting if you ask me." - She smirked at Steve before disappearing completely. Steve just stood there without words.
Did he miss something in translation or was Robin just a dumb swine? The second thing was way more probable.

You took Nancy to Hopper's old place, all cleaned up and renovated from the base of the house to the roof. It looked definitely more comfy and welcoming than in Hopper's days. You decorated the outside with a small bench and some flowers - but the truth was that it was still a bit too far away from everyone. Like you were a part of Hawkins - and weren't at the same exact time. Just shying away.
“This looks nice.” - Nancy stepped inside and took her jacket off her shoulders. - “And it is definitely warmer here than outside.” - Then she took her shoes off as you locked the door. 
It still had the same layout it had when Hopper lived there with El - the kitchen and the living room were still on the same spot, still as her room. It only looked cleaner, it smelled better and it had newer furniture. But the disgusting, on some places even torn apart a bit, green armchair was still on the same spot. 
And the bedroom now had even door, which was definitely an upgrade since Hopper was living there. And the closet was definitely more organized. 
“You can take a shower if you want.” - You mumbled when you were turning on the old heater in the corner of the room. Nancy shook her head and went to prepare you something to eat. You needed to say, you truly were hungry since you have eaten only something small and quick what Joyce made you from the last supplies she had in her house. 
“I’m good. What about you taking a shower, taking some fresh clothes and then, before the movie, we can move the boxes in here?” - She asked and tried to think about how the stove works in that cabin. 
“Sounds neat.” - You smiled and went to take a long, almost boiling hot shower. It was a pretty strange feeling, to be back in the town with the people you knew - and to see what the destiny prepared for them. And the strangest thing was to see some of them leave. 
When you were a small kid, you hoped that the fourteen days in Hawkins were like a neverending story. You hoped that the day when your father comes to pick you up never comes. At that moment, you had to say goodbye to Hopper - knowing that you will see him on a weekend that was two months away, on your birthday. It was your gift every year, you never wanted anything else than to stay at Hopper’s, even if your father would buy you every single thing under the sun just so he never had to see his brother’s fucking face again.
But as you got older and your priorities changed, you started to realize that nothing in your life is forever. Or that your life might be a fairytale. No. It was more like a horror movie. With your father and mother? Definitely.
Just as Nancy said and promised, she cooked the dinner while you took a long shower to calm yourself down - then, before the light died, you moved the boxes of your things into the cabin, letting them be on a horde in the middle of Eleven’s room. Then you ate - she made some sandwiches with some yogurt sauce, lettuce, and chicken meat, which were totally and completely delicious. Nancy definitely took something from Karen’s cooking. 
Then you both laid on the couch, watching that sweet, sweet Harrison Ford movie, both falling asleep around half of it. So when the morning’s alarm went off and your uniform was still half wet from the laundry machine, you truly almost panicked.

Why I love Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars was a show created by Rob Thomson and had three seasons starting in 2004. According to IMDB:
After her best friend is murdered, and her father is removed as county Sheriff, Veronica Mars dedicates her life to cracking the toughest mysteries in the affluent town of Neptune. 
  Veronica was played by Kristen Bell with a supporting cast of Enrico Colantoni, Jason Dohring, Percy Daggs III, Francis Capra, and Max Greenfield among others.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
  Veronica was cast out of her group of friends and had to find a way forward after the murder of her best friend, Lilly.  She was smart, strong, and a bit broken.  She defended herself, didn’t stop her quest for the truth, and was a badass chick.
Tumblr media
Then, of course this amazing show was cancelled.  Fans were left hanging!
Tumblr media
I was so happy to see the movie come out, and more importantly even though it had a love triangle (one of my least favorite tropes) it again focused on Veronica being strong and staying true to herself.
Tumblr media
She was a powerful role model for girls of all ages and will forever be one of my favorite TV characters!
