#but nothing more

I need more fics framing The Rupture as something necessary for destiel—it hurt like a fucking bitch, sure, and it was a low blow for Dean to hit Cas exactly where he knows Cas hurt most (in being the problem or a burden), but also. Looking at it from Dean's perspective, it really did feel like a move that old, early-seasons Cas would do; withheld information, acted on his own, took risks that could cost others.

And when it all piled up? From Jack's soulless behaviors directly killing Mary, to the deal with Belphegor in hell costing them Rowena. Again, hard agree that it was one of the most painful lines dropped in the show (especially so if you remember that this is post-Empty deal), but context guys, context.

Plus, I believe this separation wasn't only long-time coming but also a pretty important addition because what is destiel if not a pair of stubborn idiots who can't communicate. That's not to say an argument is necessary to talk (it can be, in certain situations, sure) but they've been on different pages since Cas came back in S13.

The center of their disagreement seemed to mostly lie in their belief in Jack. I can't remember a time they really sat down and smoothed things out so much as they avoided talking about what happened during the Widower arc altogether, and that's when the wound really began to fester. (It didn't help that they had to deal with so many problems all at once; the Brits, Asmodeus, Apocalypse World, Lucifer, then AU Michael...)

Here is what we know that Cas believed (from the canon narrative): Jack formed a bond with Cas, even before he was born he somehow showed Cas a possible future; paradise. It's the same power, perhaps a protection mechanism with nephilim seeing as God labeled them as Abominations, that turned Kelly as well. What we know Cas saw (from the deleted scene/script): Cas' paradise consisted of everyone he loved, his family, being safe. This included Sam, Kelly, and Dean on a beach, with more focus on Dean as he tells Cas, "thank you."

From what we could see that Cas did not, Dean had enough resentment against Jack that wasn't going to magically go away overnight. Jack hadn't formed the same bond with Dean that he did with Cas.

What happened before Jack was born: Heaven and Hell both sought out Jack for their respective goals, an innocent woman was going to die from the sheer magnitude of giving birth to a Nephilim, and Cas left by what Dean assumed was delusions and manipulations. What happened when Jack was born: Mary fell into a portal to a different universe—a rift that only opened due to the anomaly and power of Jack's existence—Kelly died, and Cas got stabbed right in front of him.

And this isn't to discredit Dean's love for Jack, when he did allow himself to love him or see him as family, but you can love someone and still resent them or feel bad about them. Moreso during extreme circumstances, however unfair or illogical it may be. Again, did they ever really talk? Maybe my memory is failing me but I'm pretty certain they didn't, or at least never in great detail, or came to an agreement about it.

Dean and Cas... just had so much dirty laundry and Rupture made sure they aired it all out. But I think we, as a society, would benefit greatly from not framing Dean as the big bad villain here or Cas as some poor innocent bean. Supernatural's theme was never about brotherhood or family, it's about how shit could have been so much easier if they just communicated.

#thank you for coming to my TED talk #i may be slightly drunk so take my words with a grain of salt #a pinch perhaps #but nothing more #i do think that dean deserves more leeway esp since haters looooove bringing it up in destiel discourse #dean loved cas too he fucking reciprocated no doubt about that #but that's a different rant #this one's about rupture specifically mmhmm #i wanna do an actual dean and jack study ngl but goddddd im currently buried under 3 major petas and some club work lmao #I HAD ONE MORE POINT TO ADD BUT I FORGOT BETWEEN MY THIRD AND FIFTH REFILL LMAO #spn #destiel #spn 15x03 #15x03 #the rupture #dean winchester #jack kline #castiel #dean studies #spn meta #spn rant

It’s almost 4am and I’ve just finished watching Everything Everywhere All At Once and umm. I don’t think it’s for me. Like, good for all of you people out there who still want to connect with your parents and share the burdens but personally? I’m fleeing this shithole. It sucks that my parents will never see me simply as I am and will always warp me and tint what they see me as with their own dreams and dreads, and yeah I do wish it could be different but it really cannot. Be. Different.

#d0 stuff #personal #negative #like #good for you #but personally I think need a story where the child just fucks off #insted of deciding to linger #it makes me want to scream bc it seems as if nobody wants to acknowledge the valid choice of ditching your stupid family #arghhhhh #the movie hurts only in the way that maybe I wish I still had the hope left but I don’t #sorry #my mother is not someone who would put me before everything #she doesn’t even put me before her pride so lol #idk… maybe I’m just sad and bitter that I don’t get to live the life where we do get along and love each other #bc I don’t love them anymore #obligation and responsibility - yes #but nothing more #it is. one of the loneliest feelings out there #sorry for being a downer #it just really hits me that yeah #I don’t have that #I don’t get to have a place to come back and bleed out at #nobody would let me have it #when someone said eeaao is about still wanting to come back and knowing that you have a place with your mother #nope. can’t relate #ok enough moping

some of you guys need to stop acting like harry styles is some musical and lyrical genius when he's not...

#the album is good for like a mass market pop album #but nothing more #the lyrics are boring and so is the whole production #literally was so excited for late night talking after coachella and the studio version just sucks bc it's produced so boringly #some of you guys are acting like he discovered the wheel or some shit jesus

[bestillmyslashyheart]

Another thing against Kimchay for me...what kind of weird stalker bs was Kim showing up at his door and inviting himself in (and I'm assuming Chay never gave him his address) with absolutely no warning and then this guy sends me off to a noodle shop to buy him food so he can break into his bedroom?

#ok he didnt know it was his bedroom but #hes using chays blatant crush/hero worship against him #i dont like it #be a weird mentor dude fine #but nothing more #kinnporsche

Give us a sign if ur alive

I'm alive!

Sorry for being away for so long. I was dealing at first with covid (for two looong weeks) and now this week I had to tried and do a bunch of college things I didn't do because I was sick.

Right now I'm sitting on the living room, researching for my thesis. I only have a month of so of classes left. After that, the only thing left to do would be finish ny thesis, send it and defending it and wait to see it it'll get accepted. And if it does, then my graduation ceremony will be next year!

Sorry for the huge explanation, but yeah, I was hella busy. I've read everything that's been happening on the manga, so don't worry about that. I have a lot of things to say and I'm very happy some of my predictions were answered (yeiii!), but it'll have to wait a little.

I hope y'all are doing good!

#Shan's asks #Pardon my English #Lately all I do is think and write in Spanish #And watch the nba because my team won the season so I was very excited #But nothing more #It's only studying and reading basket news #Nothing more

i wanted to take a nap but these little thoughts about morgan are making me stay awake (and i have to stay awake either way while i wait for my mother to write me)

so, you have noticed that morgan has heterochromia. of course you have, you’re a smart person.

you see, morgan never liked her eyes, never liked that her heterochromia always was linked to her grandfather, an old man she never met because he died before she was born. the villagers would always mention how her eyes reminded them of the man, but not for the good reasons.

he was important, in the island their ancestors decided to call home because they didn’t want to be persecuted like the mages that stayed in thanalan. he was, after all, the chief/leader of said village, before his daughter took over.

he was also obsessed in getting back what was right for them. bringing forward the old practices of the mhachi black mages, bringing back the void mages. a lot of the villagers weren’t accepting of this, except some of the more ambitious, both old and young.

why do you think morgan’s mother ended up taking over? because her father was already lost in his obsession of the past, of roots that only brought them misery and destruction. she ended up killing her own father before he could summon anything dangerous and killing them all.

but this stayed with the villagers, and seeing morgan having the same heterochromia as her grandfather and being put under his shadow, thinking that she will follow the same path as him, it made her hate her own eyes. and their assumptions got even worse when she decided to investigate the ruins of the ancient city of mhach. morgan is not someone with hidden agendas, all she wanted is to study the city, she was, after all, a scholar (that’s why she has a huge knowledge over black magic and the voidsent), following her father’s step. she never wanted to stay in a village that would remind her that she WILL follow her grandfather’s path of destruction, that’s why she rejected in becoming the next leader. 

morgan doesn’t hate her village, she doesn’t hate her family (in fact, she adores her mom, her mom tried her best to silence the village from their horrible assumptions and rumors) but she won’t stay in a place that doesn’t want her at all and if her going away makes them feel safer at night, then she doesn’t mind staying far away from her village.

I want Toby Fox three years after the last chapter to make a game where it's just the Fun Gang going on a road trip to the east coast to go fishing. They raid a gas station on the way to grabs snacks for the road (and the lobsters they catch). Happy April Fool's.
