Did Dean want to secretly retire? Maybe get a place with Sam and enjoy the rest of his place, without the hunting and near death experiences It always seemed to me that deep down he did, even if he claimed he wanted to keep hunting. I think it was just all he knew, which is sad.

Hmm I have to be honest, I don't think so. Which is totally fine, we all have different reads on canon, but I personally don't think Dean ever really thought about retiring and I didn't see it in canon.

Rambling thoughts under the cut

For one, Dean always assumed he'd die on the job. Dean's pretty consistent that he might want more for Sam, the wife and the white picket fence, but Dean knows how it's gonna end for him and I think he was at peace with that. He said multiple times in the later seasons that he's good with who we are. I know there's this theory going around that in the last ep we see Dean applying for a job in law enforcement or something or other and like… there is no indication anywhere in the show he wants to do that. I don't know what the set decorators were doing there, but since there is nothing else in the show alluding to this and you can only see it if you pause the episode and zoom in… I'm choosing not to give this any weight. It would be so out of the blue. Also with what name and credentials? Their fake ids are good but they don't have a whole fake identity with social security number etc. Plus as far as I know they still take your prints and Dean's would definitely come up even if he's dead. So… no. I don't buy it.

The other thing is, I don't think it's sad that Dean finds fulfillment in hunting. Even with the injuries and near death experiences. We might wish peace for him because it's what we want for ourselves, but Dean as a character thrives on the whole saving people, hunting things thing. He's sort of like a firefighter. Saving people while fighting an unpredictable opponent and risking his health and safety for it. He has an incredibly rewarding and important job. He saves lives, he saved the world. He's good at it and he enjoys it. We see this in the show and he tells us, all the time. Yes, he has moments of doubt and when he's tired but that's always related to bigger oppressive apocalyptic shit. But the regular hunts, he thrives on those. The amount of time shit is hitting the fan and he wants to work, do regular stuff, get his mind off things, get a win, that's where he's happy. And Dean kind of did the retirement thing. Hunting wasn't all he knew. He spent a year with Lisa. And arguably he loved both her and Ben. He knows what it's like and given the choice, he doesn't want it. And yeah, it wasn't with Sam. One could argue I guess that if Sam wanted to retire, Dean might go along. But neither of them want it (and they could have retired easily after 15.19) so why would we want it for them? And I don't think that's sad. I know that for many people family, marriage, etc is the ultimate happiness but one show doesn't fit all. Sam and Dean were happy with each other. They were happy with their lives so while we would not have been happy with a life like that, I think within their story and within their universe, they led good, rewarding lives. And besides the apocalyptic shit, happy lives.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

#for reference i live in scotland so it is weird that there is no ice or snow in december anymore #shitpost #not really but its just how i find my original content #christmas #climate change

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

#information death of the internet etc #legit this has been SO SO helpful #shout out to mastodon infosec server for this one #before 2022 we did not really have the AI-content-farms because. the tech did not exist to the public.#and you can knock back the date if need be #obviously this does not FIX the problem but #me.txt

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

When I was a kid one of my moms would call her period "moon time" or "her monthlies" or shit like that and my other mom straight up stealthed it, but when I'm a dad I think I'm gonna go straight down the middle and call it Werewolf Week. Like sorry kids, dad can't roughouse right now, it's Werewolf Week

#Plus my sense of smell always goes crazy like a couple days prior #So #I feel like I could really lean into the mythos #They'll get the talk of course but Werewolf Week sounds way cooler than Lady Time or whatever the fuck

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

#anyway it’s still a couple years away #but man im so fucking excited for my 30s!!!!!!!!!#i made it!!!#i survived!!!#so many people never got the opportunity to be 30 #im gonna enjoy every fucking second of it!#sulley speaks #sorry my coworker said something really rude to me lol #it struck a nerve
