based on a tumblr post

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 31k+ Words. Last Updated June. 5k+ Kudos. Misunderstandings. Ghost King Danny. Accidental Crime Lord Danny. Cryptid Danny. Sentient Gotham.

He kept taking the cash from the assholes (and damn there were a lot of assholes near where he lived) messing with the residents who lived in the area. He kept accepting their offers of food. So because of this new routine that kept him able to afford to rent out his shitty (and possibly illegal) apartment and the hunger pangs sufficiently satisfied, rumors grew.

Like and Survive - Phantom’s Guide to Young Hero Survival by @robinasnyder

based on a tumblr post

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 73k+ Words. Last Updated July. 3k+ Kudos. Youtuber Danny. Ghost King Danny. Adult Danny. Good Parent Clark Kent. Therapist Jasmine Fenton.

Phantom is considered an old timer who deals with a small city and nowhere else. When he begins uploading videos with advice for young heroes, he hopes a few new heroes might avoid some of the pain he went through. He's shocked at just how popular his advice suddenly becomes.

Bus To Nowhere by @precarious-hermit

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 98k+ Words. Last Updated July. 20k+ Kudos. Ghost King Danny. Bad Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton.

After being on the run from his parents and the government for a couple of months, moving from town to town, Danny ends up in Gotham City and decides to risk staying in Batman's territory. He'd take the wrath of Batman over live vivisection via beloved parents or being studied and torn apart by the government. Besides, he's not a meta. Being dead is a medical condition.

The Firstborn Son by @faeriekit

Complete. Two-Shot. 7.5k Words. 1k+ Kudos. Ghost King Danny. The Infinite Realms. Dimension Travel. Accidental Child Acquisition. Child Endangerment. Mind Control. Horror.

Danny Phantom, a somewhat established ruler of the Ghost Zone, has unwittingly acquired a baby.

And. Well. He can't exactly keep it in Pariah's Keep. He's no parent, not to mention the huge problem of how the air and sky destabilize human cellular structure. There has to be a way to prove that the man is safer than the home the baby comes from.

...But the man has his own ward.

Hm. Danny can exploit this. What's an assessment without a little test?

Amity In The Ghost Zone by @ghostboybrainrot

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 7k+ Words. Last Updated March. 1k+ Kudos. Good Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton.

The city doesn't return on its own after Pariah Dark is defeated. Without knowing how to get the whole city back to the living world, Danny tries to evacuate the residents but most Amity Parkers don't really want to leave. Some people do, but many decide to stay. After all, Amity Park is their home, and the idea of having to start over somewhere new isn't very appealing. So the town, for the most part, continues on like normal.

They say that Red Hood has a loyal mutt. The man rules his territory in Crime Alley with an iron fist and a guard dog at his side. No one's ever heard him speak. Anyone who's ever seen him says he looks like an experiment gone wrong, that Hood picked him up somewhere unspeakable. They say he'll do anything Red Hood asks of him and he'll do it well. Rival gangs say he's vicious, that he'd sooner rip your throat out than let you go.

death echoes by @redskyeatnight

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 38k+ Words. Last Updated June. 9k+ Kudos. Account Locked. Ghost King Danny. BAMF Danny. Creepy Danny.

Cold air on the back of his neck. Skeletal fingertips skittering up his spine, barely there and yet pressing so hard they would surely leave indents. A sound like an iceberg cracking apart echoing in his ears and through his head, pain following in its wake.

His throat went cold, his tongue suddenly numb.

And for a second - just a second - he smelled nothing but the stench of death.

"Oh My God, I'm Becoming My Father." by @fanfiction-artist-prototype

Incomplete. Three-Shot. 22k+ Words. Last Updated June. 1k+ Kudos. Account Locked. Misunderstandings. Angst and Hurt/Comfort. Blood and Injury. Accidental Child Acquisition. Implied/Reference Underage Prostitution. Protective Jason Todd.

Dani needs money, there's only so long her human body can last without food, and she lost the credit card Sam gave her when she crash-landed in Gotham city bay. So, she decides she's going to go the one guy she knows exists in Gotham that will help a kid down on their luck no questions asked - Red Hood.

Last time she'd seen Danny, he'd told her that there were rumours the Red Hood was undead, so he was the safest option for a halfa like her.

Hatred At First Sight by Sagoberattare

based on a tumblr post

Complete. One-Shot. 1k Words. 4k+ Kudos. SoulHate AU. Danny Phantom is a Little Shit.

Until the Joker looked at the skrunky kid in a ratty hoodie that looked like he could be a Wayne adoptee. And they both froze for a good minute.

And like some kind of demented switch got flipped the kid snarled and (still with his hands tied behind his back mind you) launched himself at the Joker.

Back to the World, In the End by @akela-nakamura

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 9k+ Words. Last Updated June. 800 Kudos. Halfa Jason Todd. Heavy Angst. Supernatural illnesses. Jason Todd is Not Okay. Eventual Comfort.

Jason's been sick for weeks and nothing he does seems to help. He's not ready for his confrontation with the Bat. He's not ready for his plans to fall apart when they've barely begun.

But his illness isn't stopping. One warm Gotham night, he hits a metaphorical wall.

Nightwing finds Red Hood on a rooftop. It's been a long night, but it might be looking up. After all, finally capturing the Red Hood will make Gotham that much safer.

Inquisitive by @oliveofvanders

Completed. One-Shot. 1k+ Words. 2k+ Kudos. Journalist Danny. Danny is a Little Shit. Damien Wayne Loves Animals. Crack Treated Seriously.

Damian has a very specific way of dealing with reporters – show them the animals, that usually scares them off.

Danny, however, has seen weirder shit in his lifetime.

Like Betta Fish Do by @clockwayswrites

Incomplete. Multi-Chaptered. 48k+ Words. Last Updated July. Updates Bi-Weekly. 7k+ Kudos. Dead On Main. Jason/Danny. Ghost King Danny. Halfa Jason. Canon-Typical Violence. Jason Todd Needs a Hug. Danny Fenton Needs a Hug. Lazarus Side Effects. Identity Reveal.

Danny had ended up trespassing in Jason's haunt. He didn't mean to. Total accident, he swears. (He blames Johnny.) So he bought the other halfa a basket of bathbombs and chocolate as a 'sorry, please don't disembowel me' gift. It was the proper thing to do, alright?

Everything was going to be just fine.

Then things got a little out of hand.

HOW TO NEVER FEEL HUNGRY AFTER WORKOUTS AGAIN

Should you just eat when your tummy lets you know or should you establish a regular eating timetable for your meals and snacks? Can listening to the body’s signals really prevent feeling hungry after workouts? How does the menstruation cycle affect nutritional choices?

Learn about reading your body’s hunger signals to know when to eat, how the 10 principles of intuitive eating can help, and how the menstruation cycle affects nutrition so you can have a more balanced approach to holistic nutrition.

USING HUNGER SIGNALS TO STOP FEELING HUNGRY AFTER WORKOUTS One of the most basic signals your body sends out is one for hunger. That familiar stomach growl lets us know it’s time to eat something. Ghrelin, the body’s hunger hormone, is produced in the pancreas and stomach lining and works to stimulate the appetite.

Eating because you’re hungry comes naturally because hunger pangs are just the body’s way of saying it needs an energy boost, ideally in the form of something nutritious.

Whether you prefer 3 main meals a day or 6 smaller ones, never stop listening to your body telling you it’s full. If you’ve provided it with enough energy, it will let you know, usually within 20 minutes after your mealtime. Eat slowly, listen carefully and put down your knife and fork when your stomach says “enough”.

Learning to correctly interpret your body signaling when it’s hungry and when it’s full is extremely important. We sometimes confuse emotions, both positive and negative, or cravings with hunger signals.

EAT BEFORE YOU’RE HUNGRY TO AVOID BEING HUNGRY AFTER WORKOUTS Do you wait to eat until your appetite is so big you’d eat pretty much anything? Bad plan — this usually results in overeating. When our blood sugar drops fairly low, we tend to grab any and all food we can get our hands on. This is obviously less than ideal when you’re trying to lose weight.

For people suffering from blood sugar issues, such as diabetes, this extreme drop in blood sugar can be particularly dangerous.

THE ARGUMENT FOR AN EATING SCHEDULE The debate rages on: 3 larger meals a day or 6 smaller ones? Sticking to a timetable helps many people avoid feelings of extreme hunger. This, in turn, can reduce the risk of overeating or emotional binge eating. A meta-analysis of 15 studies on the relationship between eating frequency and weight loss showed that smaller, more regular meals can help weight loss efforts.

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST SCHEDULED MEAL TIMES If you’re rigid about eating at a certain hour, you might begin eating out of habit instead of hunger. This means you’re taking in calories even if your body isn’t asking you for them, which can lead to weight gain instead of loss. Additionally, there are a lot of people who just aren’t comfortable with a strict eating schedule. For some people, paying more attention to the timing means paying less attention to the natural hunger signals, or ignoring them all together.

USING THE 10 PRINCIPLES OF INTUITIVE EATING TO AVOID FEELING HUNGRY AFTER WORKOUTS Imagine a world in which you could forget dieting and calorie counting and still reach your healthy weight. With intuitive eating you can eat what you want, without rules or forbidden foods. You learn how to practice mindful eating and listen to your body telling you when to eat and when you’re full.

WHAT IS INTUITIVE EATING? Intuitive eating is when you listen to your body and the signals it’s sending you. This gentle nutrition is all about self love. The model for intuitive eating was developed in 1995 by two dieticians in California, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.

We were all born eating intuitively. Young children are a great example of this. They eat when they’re hungry and stop when they’re full. The amount they eat changes almost every day. One buy Testosterone Enanthate day they want two servings at lunch and on the next they’re full after just a few bites.

The older we get, the less mindful we are about food. In childhood we learned that we had to clean our plate or behave ourselves if we wanted dessert. We learned that there are good foods and bad foods. And the result of these lessons? As adults, when we eat “good” foods we feel good about ourselves. But if we eat “bad” foods, we feel guilty about it. The goal of intuitive eating is to change the way we think about food, and this can be a long learning process.

on zabuza’s chakra shroud, kind of.

yo i know this is not only a reach but also wack, but part of me is really fond of the idea that demons really do walk basically in plain sight in water country, and that to be called / receive the title of ‘demon’ in water country often carries more truth to it than foreigner’s anticipate.

i literally have no reason for this headcanon other than kishi’s art style in part one, where people with outrageously powerful/inhuman/unnatural chakra were depicted as having bestial or more animated-looking chakra shrouds. if i remember correctly, at first it was something we only saw with the bijuu, like naruto when the seal began to weaken:

and with part one zabuza, whose shadow was always drawn as a sneering demon. even during the shinobi war arc zabuza’s chakra shroud is once again depicted as demonic, whereas the other kekkei genkai users’ shrouds are drawn distinctly different from ‘normal’ chakra shrouds yet remain largely shapeless ( i.e., haku’s chakra smells and feels cold and has a snowflake look to it, the explodey guy’s chakra looks big and explodey, etc)

i know it probably isn’t the case, but the idea that the rumours about zabuza - and people like him, like kisame and the other powerful outliers - might have some grain of truth to them just makes them even more interesting and gives fic writers and roleplayers more concepts to play with. and considering the hot sack of flaming canon kishimoto dumped in our laps, the more new ideas the merrier, right ?

#ugh ok im incoherent rn but like. do u feel me. pls say u feel me #imagine kiri orphans making pacts with demons and monsters and yokai: power in exchange for their bodies as demonic vessels or what have u #bc when ur starving in the street in the middle of winter; and a shadow detaches from the wall and swirls up to you asking 'what would you #be willing to do to feel warm again?' ur damn right ur skinny as says 'ANYTHING' and makes a pact with a monster #who cares about ur soul when hunger's pangs needle deep enough to splinter bone??????#idk #zabuza momochi #naruto meta #kirigakure #water country #❛ HEADCANONS #( meta. )

IT'S A GOOD THING OMG. Like, "hawks loves food and doesn't want it wasted cause he didn't get it as a kid" MY HEART

LMAO thought so just wanted to be sure! i live to cause suffering >:)

hawks and food is just ooooh, such a big interest of mine (everyone go read @scarletrain1724’s meta on it) so it’s been on the brain constantly. here’s my hcs!!!

as a young child he spent nights awake through hunger pangs and was never certain about his next meal. when he’s first taken in by the commission and given a full meal, he’s unsure at first if it’s allowed, but after the first few bites he’s near ravenous. he was never taught manners either.

he gets sick that night from the sudden diet change but, unfortunately, the hpsc has already realised they have something useful on their hands with food. keigo will do anything for it. and that’s a horrible thing to manipulate a child with but i can see it being smth the commission condones because it’s for The Greater Good. hit this many targets or no dinner; go beyond your limits and go this fast and you get special dinner; cookies and snacks and fruit between sessions, things he’s never had before. isn’t it so nice here? stop crying, why would you want your mommy if she never even fed you like we do?

his diet for the most part is pretty regimented so when he’s sent into the world he becomes a total foodie. there can be a lot of freedom in eating whatever you want!

in the team up missions manga, there’s this bit where he slips into the fukuoka dialect while eating food he likes, which makes me think food is pretty much the only thing that puts him at ease, enough to have him use his old dialect. actually let’s just talk about the whole page

well, for one, i love that hawks is a regular at his fave restaurants enough that the staff are just like “oh, the no.2 hero again, cool”. the detail of him bringing people he likes out to eat makes me think that sharing a meal is just really his form of ultimate bonding experience and way of saying I Like You, Let’s Eat Together!!! also harris’s hawks hunt in packs which is a ridiculously loose association but i love a good bird parallel, even the stupid ones

and because i’ll shove smart!hawks into everything, being a regular at all types of restaurants across the country is a good way of gaining connections. fancy places like he takes endeavor to serve bigwigs and heroes and, sometimes, commission agents who talk drunkenly about things they shouldn’t, which the severs overhear, and since hawks is friends with the servers that info goes directly to him. and he’s always on a mission to find new places to eat—hole in the wall type joints, smaller businesses, places he can make friends with and then ask if anyone round here’s seen a nomu or even a guy with purple scars.....

#child neglect tw #hunger tw #food tw #child abuse tw #vomiting tw #ask to tag #sorry... lots of fucked up stuff i dont have a positive view on his childhood. in case you couldnt tell #long post #....again. this was gonna be a quick answer. anon its ur fault u poked me 😭 (thank u)

2020 Author’s Notes

A yearly-sum-up of my personal thoughts for my written works in 2020 (ones with chapters updates count too), like I’ve done before. All of the fic I listed can be found on my AO3.

JANUARY

Sub Rosa - a FE3H Edelgard/Hubert fic My 2019 Nagamas gift fic for an at-the-time rarepair. I must admit, in previous FEs I was rather 'meh' on most lord/retainer ships, but boy has Three Houses really delivered in selling the undying loyalty of two boys to their lords. This fic was a bit of a struggle for me to write, cause at the time I was really conflicted on how to feel about Edelgard as a character and honestly didn't have many good ones... but writing this helped me come to terms and cement my fondness for the ship.

FEBRUARY

Lip Service - a nsfw FE3H Edel/Hu fic Thinking so much on El/Hu as a ship, the naughtier dynamics of them as a couple came to mind. This fic is simply one such thought excercise, though I've seen many META posts and other fics on why their dynamic would be inverted... but I personally enjoy the idea that Edel's the one in charge, always, and the Hu enjoys being manhandled. (it also serves as a fun foil for how I write the other 3H lord/retainer ship)

MAY

Feast - a Skies of Arcadia fic Written for the Eternal Skies zine, and as of yet to be posted publicly. A two-page long fic starring Urala and the crew members. I always loved the base-building and crew gathering system in SoA, so it was a treat to be able to write for them.

JUNE

Nectaring - a nsfw FE3H Dedue/Dimitri fic That foil to the El/Hu dynamic, where they're rough and demanding I picture DimiDue being soft and tender with each other. This fic is a weird mix of Fodlan worldbuilding, post-AM headcanons, and naughty ship dynamics. It's around this time I definitely knew, the Blue Lions class were my favs.

JULY Litany - a FE drabble collection Added some drabbles, FE3H and otherwise... I've still got prompts I want to work on, for this, hm.

AUGUST

Easy as Pie - gen FE3H Dedue+Mercedes fic I've had this idea of a character cooking pie with not-modern/dated kitchen tech, and when Dedue's birthday came up it came together. Despite Ashe, Flayn, and Annette having explicitly cooking supports with Dedue, Mercedes and her dessert specialty felt most natural to fit the guide role. I also really like their supports and how the two of them get on together...was also nice to get Cyril adn Dimitri in on planning a birthday surprise for Dedue. Just a fluffy feel-good fic.

OCTOBER

Hunger Pangs - a FE16 ABO childhood fic Prequel to Sense of Taste, where it's mostly the Faerghus four being cute kids and sfw. I've notice the trope very rarely ever deals with questions of like, what it's like pre-puberty with all that presentation weirdness. And then I'm once again wasting Faerghus headcanons by sticking it somewhere no one will read them.

DECEMBER

Off Call - a FE14 modern AU Marx/Hinoka Unchilled this drabble series by writing about the Covid quarantine. But really, it's just a tiny glimpse of what I've been dealing with at work, so vent posting? Fleckerl - a FE3H Dedue/Mercedes fic Cowritten with @mrmissmrsrandom for the 'A Lost Ballroom of Gold’ zine. Yet to be publicly posted.

MEME | @leftbehindtheperfectcrime

☁ ━ What is your opinion on cereal?

super, super helpful for putting hunger pangs to rest.

❣ ━ If you could marry one fictional character, which one and why?

i don’t know how bad a thing this is to be admitting to, but i really wouldn’t mind tris truth be told. since i know him so well and all that, i’d be pretty reassured that at least he’d treat me well.

☮ ━ What do you do to try and get the muse to roleplay a character?

listen to music, read meta, listen to podcasts, read fanfic. if it’s me trying to get muse for my o.cs however, i more or less do the reverse of those things - excluding the music listening step obviously.

☂ ━ What’s your favorite kind of weather and why?

snow cos it looks super pretty and brings back all those happy childhood feelings of let’s go play who cares about cold and wet!

☑ ━ What’s something not a lot of people know about you?

first time admittance, but i still have imaginary friends omg.

Re-reading Ch28 of Phangs to double-check some details (just as well because I completely fucked up Vlad's room in the next book.) and not to toot my own horn or anything, but it's so fucking funny from an ADHD perspective.

Nathan just walked into a veritable treasure trove of Vlad's psyche.

He's walking around in awe, like, whoa, is that a hand-painted celestial map on the ceiling? Gods, Vlad's so talented. I bet there's nothing he can't do. Oh, a pianoforte! He's musical! Wow, look at all these books. He's so smart. I love how smart he is. I want to fuck his brains out. Oh! Look! A telescope!

As opposed to Vlad, whose internal monologue is: don't look at the mess, don't look at the mess, don't look at the mess. Okay, just act normal. How... how do I do that? Oh gods please don't think I'm weird. Please like me.

I know I wrote him, but he's in such a mood sometimes, lol.

#hunger pangs meta #I know they're my characters and I wrote them but #*chef kiss*#my poor AuDHD vampire son #just a cluster fuck of self-doubt and insecurity #hiding behind a mask of rakish flirtation that falls apart the minute someone sincere gets their hands on him #it's Nathan #Nathan gets his hands on him #eventually

Cas in the Bardo II - A further exploration of how The Empty is akin to the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the bardo and what this means for Cas

This meta builds on this post here which is an introduction and overview of the Buddhist concept of the bardos, from a Tibetan Buddhist standpoint. I finished writing that post the night before 13x4 aired and so now I’m going to elaborate on that with regards to this episode. If you would like to have a better grounding of the bardos before reading this then check out that post for more info :)

Introduction

If you want to storm right into this post then here is a quick overview of the bardos. They are greatly discussed in what the West has now called ‘The Tibetan Book of the Dead’. The bardos is the liminal/in-between space you go into after death. Those without training or a spiritual life normally don’t realise they’re even in the bardo before they are rebirthed back into samsara (the wheel of existence comprising of birth, death, rebirth, and so on). The first bardo occurs straight after death, if one does not recognise this clear light and go towards it they are flung into the second bardo.

Here is what I said about the second bardo and SPN before episode 4 aired;

- ‘If the first bardo passes and attempts to access spiritual states were unsuccessful, the next bardo begins. The second bardo or the “bardo of becoming” is a stage in which the desires of the individual are said to carry the largely helpless soul through a great variety of intense emotional states. Good thoughts bring great bliss and pleasure, and hateful or negative thoughts bring great pain and desolation. The soul bounces from thought to thought as a torrent of thoughts and feelings come like a waterfall. Existing thought habits and desires are said to define the experience of the soul during the afterlife in this way. (Again, we see that the bardo is a space for the inner self to manifest around oneself. I think that in SPN, they will use The Empty in a similar way – in that it will be a space where Cas can understand who he is. It will be a mindful, meditative, and self-reflexive space in which he will understand who he is and the life he lead. He will see what is important to him and what he should cling to and what he should leave).

- The greatest problems of the soul in the second bardo are negative emotions like guilt and fear (which results from a lack of familiarity with the inner worlds), and lack of conscious control over its own experience. Fear is particularly harmful because it fragments the self making concentration on one thing difficult or impossible, and this can lead to confusion and loss of conscious control. (I think Cas will certainly explore these things within The Empty. He has been ridden by guilt for many seasons and I believe that he will feel the weight of his past actions even in death. However I think he will get through these and return to earth having done away with the negative emotions and guilt having worked through them all in the empty).’

It just all makes so much sense having now seen the episode, right? *I flail in happiness*

More under the cut! This got a bit long!

The Second Bardo - The Karmic Bardo of Becoming

So what else about the second bardo after death? (there are six bardos, but this is the second after death, not second in general in case those with Buddhist background knowledge aren’t sure which I’m referring to).

Here is a discussion of the bardos which I’ve added my SPN analysis to. The original full page about the second bardo after death can be found in this link if you want to read the full thing. My added analysis is in bold;

- The bardo of becoming or sipa bardo spans the time between their reawakening and our entering the womb of the next life. The tibetan word sipa, which is translated as "becoming," also means "possibility" and "existence."

- What takes place now at this stage is a reverse process of dissolution: the winds reappear, and along with them come the thought states connected with ignorance, desire, and anger. Then, because the memory of our past karmic body is still fresh in our mind, we take on a "mental body."

- Our mental body in the bardo of becoming has a number of special characteristics. It possesses all its senses. It is extremely light, lucid, and mobile, and its awareness is said to be seven times clearer than in life. It is also endowed with a rudimentary kind of clairvoyance, which is not under conscious control, but gives the mental body the ability to read others' minds. At first this mental body will have a form similar to the body of the life just lived, yet it is without any defects and in the prime of life. (Cas’s body in The Empty (I would say) is not an actual body, but rather a mental projection that his consciousness has made. It is interesting here that the body his mind creates is his human vessel’s. Of course this is because production wise, they were never not going to make it so that Misha was playing dead Cas, but regardless, I think there could be an interesting discussion had about Cas’s familiarity for his human body so much so that in death this is his projection. I also think that this point about reading minds is interesting, because The Empty God read Cas’s mind. Personally, I read The Empty God as being a manifestation of Cas’s inner self rather than an actual God, but more on that later).

- Because the mental body has no physical basis, it can pass through solid barriers such as walls or mountains. The mental body can see through three-dimensional objects. Yet since we lack the father and mother essences of the physical body, we no longer have the light of sun or moon, but only a dim glow illuminating the space immediately in front of us. (This ability to pass through solid barriers is interesting, because that’s what The Empty God does. Also, this discussion of a dim glow illuminating the space immediately in front of us is legit exactly how they lit The Empty. I had previously (I dunno why) but assumed they’d make the empty a foggy, white, space. But the fact it was all black with light only on Cas and the Empty God makes it even more like the discussions of the bardo)

The Empty God passing through the ‘solid floor’

You can see here (well in all the screenshots) that Cas’s immediate space is the only thing that’s lit

- Because of the presence of the five elements in its makeup, the mental body seems to us to be solid, and we still feel pangs of hunger. (This is shown in SPN when Cas is hurt, so we see that the mental projection of his body is still subject to pain and physical suffering)

- In this state mental activity is very rapid: thought come in quick succession, and we can do many things at once. The mind continues to perpetuate set patterns and habits, especially its clinging to experiences, and its belief that they are ultimately real. (Again, we see in SPN that Cas’s mind clings to his past life which is what helps to ground him and bring him back. Also this belief that what he is seeing is real fits in with Cas not realizing that The Empty God was a projection of his inner self).

- In the bardo of becoming we relive all the experiences of our past life, reviewing minute details long lost to memory, and revisiting places, the masters say, "where we did no more than spit on the ground." At the end of each week there is the trauma of realizing that we are dead and we are compelled to go through the experience of death once again, with all its suffering. If our death was peaceful, that peaceful state of mind is repeated; if it was tormented, however, that torment is repeated too. And remember that this is with a consciousness seven times more intense than that of life, and that in the fleeting period of bardo of becoming, all the negative karma of previous lives is returning, in a fiercely concentrated and deranging way. (This is shown in SPN. I hardly need to point it out, but when Cas was shown all the pain and suffering from his past life, it is obvious that past experiences and karma are being shown to him. Many of the things we saw occur in his flashes of memories were of times when Cas fucked up a bit, like with the leviathans and him thinking he was a new God. These are shown to him because this is the weight of karma he now has after his death. His death was also violent and so this violence is also characterized in The Empty with The Empty God beating him up)

- Our restless, solitary wandering through the bardo world is as frantic as a nightmare, and just as in a dream, we believe we have a physical body and that we really exist. Yet all the experiences of this bardo arise only from our mind, created by our karma and habits returning. We are swept along relentlessly by the wind of karma, unable to hold on to any ground. The Tibetan Book of the Dead says : "At this time, the great tornado of karma, terrifying, unbearable, whirling fiercely, will drive you from behind." Consumed by fear, blown to and fro like dandelion seeds in the wind, we roam, helpless, through the gloom of the bardo. (Again, this just further solidifies my point that I think that The Empty God and everything Cas experiences in the empty was a manifestation of his inner self)

- The whole landscape and environment is moulded by our karma, just as the bardo world can be peopled by the nightmarish images of our own delusions. If our habitual conduct in life was positive, our perception and experience in the bardo will be mixed with bliss and happiness, and if our lives were harmful or hurtful to others, our experiences in the bardo will be ones of pain, grief, and fear. (Again, kinda self-explanatory)

- As our mind is so light, mobile, and vulnerable in the bardo, whatever thoughts arise, good or bad, have tremendous power and influence. Without a physical body to ground us, thoughts actually become reality. The overwhelming power of thought, then, is the key issue in this bardo. This crucial moment finds us completely exposed to whatever habits and tendencies we have allowed to grow and dominate our lives. If we don't check those habits and tendencies now in life, and prevent them from seizing hold of our mind, then in the bardo of becoming we will be their helpless victim, buffeted to and fro by their power. The slightest irritation, for example, in this bardo can have devastating effect, and that is why traditionally the person reading the Tibetan Book of the Dead had to be someone with whom we had a good connection; if not, the very sound of his or her voice could infuriate us, with the most disastrous consequences. (This leads to two points, first is that Cas’s guilt and depression (his need to sleep and do nothing) are the things most prominent in his The Empty experiences and the things characterized by The Empty God. They are the things leading him most into the darkness of The Empty. Also, the second point is that Jack calling out to Cas helps him to awaken his mind to this bardo reality).

- The shifting and precarious nature of the bardo of becoming can also be the source of many opportunities for liberation, and the susceptibility of mind in this bardo can be turned into our advantage. All we have to do is remember one instruction; all it needs is for one positive thought to spring into our mind. If we can recall any teaching that has inspired us to the nature of mind, if we have even one good inclination toward practice, or a deep connection with a spiritual practice, then that alone can free us. (Ahhhhrrrrrr, so OBVIOUSLY this fits so well. Cas is literally liberated and rebirthed back into the world because he fights his way out and his love for Dean, and for Sam and Jack is what brings him out of their. Also Cas gains a belief and faith in himself which liberated him from the bardo and causes him to be rebirthed. He clings to those good thoughts and fights and that is what saves him).

- If we are able to invoke or call to mind any enlightened being such as, Buddha, Tara, Guru Rinpoche, Christ or the Virgin Mary, with one pointed devotion and with all our heart, then through the power of their blessing, our mind will be liberated into the space of their wisdom mind. (Rather than calling to mind his faith in a spiritual figure, Cas remembers his faith in the brothers, in love, and in humanity. That helps save him)

- Different signs begin to appear, warning us of the realm in which we are likely to take rebirth. Lights of various colours shine from the six realms of existence, and we will feel drawn toward one or another, depending on the negative emotion that is predominant in our mind. Once we have been drawn into one of these lights, it is very difficult to turn back. (Cas is trying to be drawn into sleep by The Empty God but reists)

- Then images and visions will arise, linked to the different realms. As we become familiar with the teachings, we will become more alert to what they really mean. The signs vary slightly according to different teachings. Some say that if we are to be reborn as a god, we will have a vision of entering a heavenly palace with many stories. If we are able to be reborn as a demigod, we will feel we are amidst spinning circular weapons of fire,or going onto a battlefield. If we are able to be reborn as an animal, we find ourself in a cave, a hole in the ground, or a nest made of straw. If we have a vision of a tree stump, a deep forest, or a woven cloth, we are able to be reborn as a hungry ghost. And if we are able to be reborn in hell, we will feel we are being led, powerless, into a black pit, down a black road, into a sombre land with black or red houses, or toward a city of iron.

- If any of these signs appear, we should be on guard not to fall into any of these unfortunate rebirths. At the same time, we will have an intense desire and longing for certain realms, and are drawn toward them all too instinctively. If our desire is frustrated, the anger that arises will of itself bring the bardo abruptly to an end, as we are swept into our next rebirth by the current of that negative emotion. So, we must take great care not to enter blindly into one of these undesirable realms. Yet what is wonderful is that the moment we become aware of what is happening to us, we can actually begin to influence and change our destiny. (That ending bit of us becoming aware and then being able to influence and change our destiny was just played out superbly in that episode)

That Last Scene in the Sunlight

At the end of the episode Cas is reborn in the sunlight which goes with all the sunshine Cas meta. But also it fits into Buddhims with him following the light to his next chosen birthplace which is earth again. Cas didn’t want to let go of samsara and wanted to return to earth. This is because he had faith in humanity and the love for humanity and the brothers and Dean was what guided him out of the blackness of the empty and into the light. This love is the light of faith, the faith in himself and Dean and Sam and Jack, and also the light within himself. Within Buddhism the light is the light of the Buddha which guides you out of samsara, but for Cas the light is the light of these loves which guides him back into the arms of the world – reincarnated anew in the same form but stronger. Like Buddhist Masters he walks again on earth reincarnated with a rememberance of his past life. He has grown spiritually from this experience and is a better person because of it. He emerges into the literal light.

Also, what do we hear in the score when Cas wakes up within nature? Only flutes which sound like they are Tibetan flutes! They could be Native American flutes, but those tend to be slightly higher? Idk, but regardless, a very similar flute instrument is used in both Native American and Buddhist music. Here is the scene followed by a video of an amazing Tibetan flute player whose music I love. You will hear for yourselves how they are so very very similar and as soon as I heard that music I was astounded that this rebirth was so linked to Buddhist music which basically confirmed all my meta about The Empty being drawn from Tibetan Buddhist ideas of the bardo.

(scene where Cas is reborn on earth)

Also, as a side note, Cas appears back on earth by some blackberries which I know have significance in Biblical symbolism as there is one myth where Jesus’ crown on the cross was made from blackberries? Idk, it just seems here that Cas’s rebirth is heavily linked to Buddhist reincarnation, as well as having hints of Jesus’ resurrection.

Sleep, Depression, Mindfulness and Awareness

‘I don’t like being awake!’

‘I like sleep. And I need sleep’

The ancient god just wanted to sleep. For me in a Buddhist sense this brings to mind ideas that we live life and death, and a life of sorts in the bardo with unawareness. We walk through these worlds without recognition of the here and now. Sleep in Buddhism is literally called another bardo. This is why monks train to (what we would call in the West) lucid dream. Because sleep is another conscious state where one should train oneself to stay in a sort of mindful consciousness – aware of one’s sleeping state so that the monkey mind isn’t swayed by distractions and distracted from feeling the here and now. When the deity wants them both to sleep, he wants them both to be distracted and to fall back into the mindless and un-conscious state without focus or purpose or true feeling. Cas didn’t want to sleep, he wanted awareness and this awareness and the ability to fight against a mindlessness and sleep is what gets you out of the liminal space of the bardo.

Jack calls out his name when he is in death, and wakes him up to the realisation that he is in the empty, just like in the Tibetan Death rituals. Cas was asleep and unaware because he wasn’t trained to be able to wake up in The Empty, but someone with great spiritual/supernatural power (Jack) helped him by calling out to him in death and allowing him to recognise where he is.

Is The Empty God Even Real?

Did The Empty entity really take him out of The Empty? I’m not so sure. I think Cas fought his way out. Jack reached out to him in death and awoke his consciousness into The Empty, much like the mantras read from The Tibetan Book of the Dead are used to call out to the deceased and make them aware of themselves within the bardo to help them get out of samsara and into a better rebirth. Cas chose to fight his way into rebirth on earth, to return to the suffering of the world despite its pain in order to help the brothers – a very bodhisattva act of compassion.

This begs the question of whether The Empty God was even real. If I’m using Buddhism as a way to look at this, I would argue that the God was simply a manifestation of Cas’s inner self and not a literal God described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Whilst some read the passages about the Gods and manifestations as literally real, most scholars might agree that these gods seen within the bardo are just inner states manifest. I prefer this interpretation to be honest, with regards to The Empty. It just makes more sense that Cas’s consciousness was flung into this indescribable black empty non-space (which is so like the second bardo after death) and there isn’t really anyone there, but he awakens and has the fervour to fight his way out. The fact that the God could read his mind is cool, but what is cooler is the idea that the God was his mind, that the God wasn’t real, but was something within himself that was telling him to just sleep, to forget, to not be present. The God was a manifestation and exposition of Cas’s inner world. That’s why he looked the same, that’s why he could read his mind, that’s why he was the living embodiment of all the bad karma and guilt and depression Cas had carried with him from his past life. Cas was fighting against himself, he was fighting against his sadness and guilt and the pain and suffering of his past life and he himself fought his way out of The Empty. It’s fun to trivialise this and say that Cas annoyed The Empty God so much that he was flung out of there by him, but The Empty is so linked to the bardo. And the gods in the bardo are manifestations of yourself and so you fight yourself and go into the light by your own volition. Cas was alone, fighting his literal inner demons and he was rebirthed into the light victorious – and isn’t that a much more substantive and positive reading of the whole episode? Idk, I think so!

This also explains why The Empty God couldn't banish him to the far corners of that place, because The Empty God is him and literally can’t get rid of him. He can’t get rid of himself. The Empty God is a projected manifestation with a parasitic hold to Cas’s consciousness and has no power, he only pretends to have power. The Empty God didn’t get Cas back to Earth, Cas fought against his own darkness and followed the light back to earth himself.

‘No regrets. No pain. Kiddo. Save yourself.’

‘I’m already saved’

‘You can remind of my failings. But somehow I’m awake and I will stay awake and I will keep you awake until we both go insane. I will fight you. I will fight you. I will fight you forever. For eternity.’

‘Release me. Release me!’

Here Cas remains awake – in other words he remains what is now commonly referred to as ‘mindful’ – he is present and suddenly jolted out of his mindless unthinking depression and realises that he can be saved.

Conclusion

Anyway, I’ve really been enjoying this whole discussion on Buddhism, I hope it was OK to follow and not just excited flailing from me! Feel free to ask me more about it, and if I don't know the answer to anything Buddhism related I can find out soon for you.

I know a lot has been written on Cas, The Empty God, and Depression which is all amazing great meta. I hope this stuff adds another aspect to that whole discussion - and I say add rather than negate purposefully.

Anyway, I just love how this all fits together and am still flailing about those Tibetan flutes as music during his reincarnation on earth....... It just makes me feel as though this really is all relevant! And the whole bardo idea that everything that appears to you is a manifestation of your inner self which you fight against in order to find the light is such a positive reading of The Empty and shows that Cas fought against himself and fought into the light rather than just being chucked back onto earth by an ancient God.... it’s just such a better and more positive reading for me personally.
