#sam is queer too but

[kindlespark]

i get why ppl say that babel was too 'telling not showing' with the cohorts' friendship; robin's internal monologue says his cohort were all in love with each other, but we mostly get dialogue of them fighting *cough* and letty being racist *cough*. i just think that that was kind of the point!

robin is a great flawed protagonist and most importantly an unreliable narrator, and the disparity between what he tells you and the dialogue scenes we actually get feels intentional to me, because you can feel the disconnect between what robin wanted and his reality. when he was still in love with babel, he wanted their cohort to be a perfect romantic ideal, wanted to think their fights were overcomeable, that ramy and victoire felt the same that he did. but the cracks were there from the beginning; their relationships were always fucked up. the effects of colonialism/imperialism robin wanted so badly to ignore had doomed them from the beginning. babel in ramy or victoire's perspective would be wildly wildly different because it's clear they did not have robin's privilege

i just love that robin is like truly such a damn liberal for half the book, never truly committing to hermes, holding onto his whiteness and desire to belong, and that this flaw is what dooms his relationship with ramy. people celebrate babel for its scathing critique of white feminism, and they should, but it's also so damning of liberal activism too imo. robin as a protagonist exemplifies the way fellow poc will often uphold racist structures for their own benefit and to avoid complicating themselves--and that this will always be a futile selfish endeavour. robin must, like all of us, come to the conclusion that he will never belong while this system remains intact, that his privilege isn't worth the suffering of those alike him, and that resisting it however he can is the only moral and just thing to do. wow i got sidetracked but robin swift wasian character of all time fr

#babel #meta #babel spoilers #SORRY I HAVE SOOO MANY THOUGHTS I HAD TO DELETE A WHOLE PARAGRAPH OUT OF THIS TOO LMFAO #i haven't even gotten into how i think robinramy is like emblematic of the conflicts of modern queer diaspora #guys this book. this book #sam speaks

[bloodydeanwinchester]

the thing about supernatural is that i truly believe every single character on that show is queer

#well everyone except for sam. #probably john too #(sorry i know a lot of people like to hc sam as queer but i think j*red just ruins it for me)

[crescent-moon-mollymauk]

The livestream last night was fantastic for many reasons, but another great thing about the stream: it felt really nice to openly hear Sam and Taliesin describe FCG and Ashton as nonbinary. Like obviously we’ve had their he/they pronouns since day one, but it means so much to hear the two of them use the word Nonbinary, y’know?

#shout out to the person in chat who said that FCG and Ashton gave them the courage to come out <3 #FCG #fresh cut grass #sam riegel #ashton greymoore #taliesin jaffe #critical role #critical role campaign 3 #it also felt especially nice to hear it from Sam #like i guess my brain just assumes Tal plays more queer because he is queer #but Sam has been awesome too and I gotta give credit where credit is due

some scream thoughts from a discussion i was having

mindy, chad, tara, amber, liv, wes, ethan, anika and quinn had the potential to be my favorite group of bastards in existence but they separated them and made some of them murderers.

i know richie is also a murderer but idc i think he was so fun. he and sam should've been a murder couple that richie/amber shit was WEIRD

danny should've been their oblivious arm candy bf because that man is pretty jesus

i physically needed to see ethan and wes being soooo fucking annoying to chad 🙏

#“but amber ethan quinn and richie are murders” and that's a dealbreaker for y'all?? #and NO i don't want them to be any less insane. i want them to be as insane as they are i just don't want them to kill the ones i like. #you're talking to someone who has sidney billy tatum stu and randy as their favorite queer friend group who all hate and like each other #like you can Try to bring the murder up but i simply don't care. #i want all the ones i like to be in the worst friend group ever #yeah amber ethan quinn and richie murder people sometimes. so what #what are their friends gonna do about it? #it'll be like the world's worst kept secret #sam can murder too as a treat idc #i actually don't care about liv all like that but i mean. let her hang too #richie kirsch #sam carpenter #tara carpenter #ethan landry #quinn bailey #chad meeks martin #mindy meeks martin #liv mckenzie #amber freeman #wes hicks #anika kayoko #danny brackett

Literally with what sort of goggles you watched spn to consider Sam the straight in middle of ALLL the queer cast. What hallucinator drug you snorted man. Things like this makes me so disgusted bc you want someone for that role and you don't give a fuck about Sam in the first place. I wish there was a way to block every single person with this sort of take.

some gay tumblrina sammy moments <3

image description: scenes from “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” “Taxi Driver,” “Holy Terror,” “First Born,” “Black,” and “The Hunter Games” with various tumblr screenshots

10x01: Sam is on the phone with Crowley, threatening him, and Crowley is not affected by this. text post by reigensboyfriend reads [kinda gay for a man to have dark circles under his eyes. why aren’t you getting a good night’s sleep? too busy thinking about other men?]

9x09: Dean and Sam walk up to Castiel at a crime scene, Dean looking unamused. Sam and Castiel greet each other saying, “Agent.” text post by amortizing reads [third wheeling two girls who are best friends is so much worse than third wheeling a couple]

4x09: Sam tries to bargain with the male crossroads demon he summoned to bring Dean back from hell, who grins and refuses him. tag reads [#you wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid]

9x11: Sam sits on the map table watching Castiel, who then gets up from his chair. post reads [thegayteen: That vaguely flirtatious vibe you have with all your single gay friends / manofmer: This is a real thing / thegayteen: it’s this constant air of like “i’d be down if you were down but i’m not going to pursue it and neither are you so let’s just lowkey flirt all the time”]

8x19: Sam and Dean turn around to see the male crossroads demon Sam has just summoned, who shows them his red eyes. Dean comments, “What happened to the hot chicks?” text post by folkmessiah reads [getting spoken to as if I’m straight by straight people who assume everyone is straight, subsequently feeling like the world’s most useless and irritated secret agent]

10x10: Castiel comes up behind Sam, who is sitting at the map table on his computer. Castiel puts his hand on Sam’s should to get his attention and tell him it’s late, Sam gets up to follow Castiel out of the room. text post by slab-o-meat reads [bro its beddy-bye. its nighty-night, dude]

#sam winchester #crowley spn #dean winchester #castiel #queer sam #4x09 #8x19 #9x09 #9x11 #10x01 #10x10 #*mine #sometimes it's like y'all don't even care that sam summoned two male crossroads demons smh #sorry the first born one isn't super easy to read I'm not sure how to make it clearer without it being too big :/

[angelsdean]

my tags on my prev reblog re: dean's misinterpreted attitude toward monsters just got me thinking abt sam and the bloodfreak stuff in general and like, as we know a lot of the early seasons were framed in sam's pov so a lot of the time it' him who's feeling like a monster and projecting that onto others to confirm his own beliefs abt himself. like when he finds out abt john telling dean to kill him if he goes darkside sam suddenly is in agreement w/ john saying john's right and dean has to do it because dad said so !!! anyways that's just preface to what i want to say which is, sam isn't really a monster. what i mean is, he's not a monster in the inherent sense that he seems to think he is, and that's part of the reason why dean pushes back against the demon blood stuff because he knows sam can be saved and for dean his number one job is to save sam because the alternative is following john's order and that's something he just cannot do. so it makes sense that dean would do whatever it takes even if that's being a little mean or forceful (calling him a monster, echoing john by telling him not to walk out that door to give sam pause, forcing him to detox) because he does not want to kill his brother.

but anyways, sam is not a monster in the way he (and a lot of fans) thinks he's a monster. he was Not born a monster, it's not something that is intrinsically and inherently part of him. and i'd argue there's really nothing special or "chosen one"-esque about him (aside from the lucifer bloodline making him a better candidate for vessel purposes), he was just a regular baby who was dosed with demon blood, which in the text is treated as a drug / addiction. there was nothing special about any of the babies azazel dosed, they were just the children of people he'd made deals with. i think pretty much any baby (possibly even adult) who's fed demon blood from a powerful enough demon (like a Prince of Hell) would develop psychic powers. so it's not something completely out of his control that's turning him into a monster like a virus or a vampire / werewolf bite where he can't stop the progression. it's not happening to him he's making active choices to strengthen those powers and the more he feeds the more he wants it. everything w/ ruby is framed as him knowing he's doing something "wrong", the sneaking around, the lying. and i think dean's response is along the lines of "we need to get you help. we need to stop this because it's something that can be stopped. and if we stop it then i won't have to see you lose yourself or go too far. because if you go too far and start hurting people then i might have to kill you and i can't do that so please just let us save you." and i think that's fair. yes he and bobby maybe go about things the wrong way but i think it's born out of desperation. and also it's not a rejection of "this is who you are and we hate you for being a monster" it's "you're making choices that are leading you down a dangerous path and we're scared we may lose you so we're trying to stop you from going too far down that road."

like the end goal of all the bloodfreak stuff (ruby's end goal) was to free lucifer and freeing lucifer would mean sam becoming his vessel. they obviously don't know all that at the time, but in hindsight it's like, yea we should've curbed that bloodfreak stuff sooner. also heaven was telling dean to stop sam too and that he was going down a dangerous path and that if dean doesn't stop him they will (likely meaning death) so again, of course dean's gonna try to do whatever he can to stop sam even if it's by not great methods. (also heaven was playing him too bc they also wanted lucifer to be freed so that Destiny could come to pass)

#i've been thinking a lot abt the bloodfreak stuff lately #esp whenever i see takes that sam is like inherently different or monstrous #like he's really not ??? he was just a baby who was fed demon blood like many other babies #i read the bloodfreak stuff thru an addition lens moreso than a 'there's something inherently wrong w/ me' lens #which is also why the queercoded sam stuff often just. does not stick for me. like i Can see where ppl are coming from #but when you don't view sam's monstrous-ness as inherent then it's like. well it doesn't make for good parallels to queerness #whereas you take the shifter / dean parallels and it's like !!!! the shifter relating to dean and saying they're alike in many ways #that they were both born different and hated before they had to make themselves different and both just want someone to love them #and the shifter as dean earlier telling sam he's a freak he knows he's a freak and that everyone will always leave him #it's just different the way dean's ''freakness'' is framed as something inherent to him #while sam's is literally literally !! something that was Introduced to him after the fact not something he was born with #i'm sorry and this isn't sam crit it's more. interpretation crit ? #but also i think we can all have different and conflicting interpretations too bc sometimes i'm like yea. queer sam! #(tho often that has nothing to do w/ the monster-coding) #but idk i've just been thinking abt the bloodfreak stuff lately and how other characters reacted to it and how it's framed from sam's pov #vs deans and other characters. like sam seems to think there is something inherently wrong w/ him and so a lot of viewers believe it #but from outside perspectives dean and bobby and even heaven view it as an addiction and as choices sam's making that he can stop #vic.txt #mymeta #long post

[samaelwinchester]

there absolutely could be discussions about the show being traumatizing and downright insulting to its own audience. we could talk about how disturbing it is to watch sam's sexual abuse be played for laughs or forgotten entirely, or how dean mocks him every time he does something not "masculine" or the beyond-parody way it treats its characters that aren't straight white men. but no, every time the discussion is had it's about how scawy and diswespectful it was that the show did not end with a destiel wedding, or that dean died even though you didn't want him to

#like idgaf about the finale but people who are bitter about it rejuvenate me. sam final girl. #'it was traumatizing and insulting to the audience that Dean Winchester died' did you say this the first 500 times he died too #pulling shit outta their ass about how dean dying was damaging to mentally ill queer people. BE SERIOUS!!!! #the show notorious for mocking its own fans was not going to give you the ao3 shlock your mental wellbeing depends on. deal

[suncaptor]

Something about how Sam is attached and never denies being tied to masculinity, but also is denied it because of how people perceive him.

#which makes him soooo queer coded but also so easy to relate to transmasc reasons. #like surrounded by the toxic masculinity he is & his own perception and fears of it #but like! the reasons people try to say he isnt manly enough dont actually in any way make him less than a man #anyways #incoherents #spn #sammy #supernatural #sam winchester #transmasc sam #<- tho it works to for being cis & not straight and able to conform to gender norms too ig

Genre: Fluff, Ficlet

Summary:

Kara grins in reply, holding her coat out for her to slip into and leading her out the door with a gentle hand at the small of her back. "I did promise to always keep you safe." "And that's why you're my hero," Lena smirks, tiptoeing to press a kiss to Kara's cheek. Or: Kara never stops being a hero, Lena tries sale day shopping, and they can always count on each other.

Author’s Note: combining day 1 of supercoptober's "wild" with the 100 ways to say i love you prompt "i'll do it for you." just something short and silly(?? is black friday really as scary as the usa news makes it out to be?? black friday is really religious where i'm at so idk) for today as i focus more on the soulmate au. not edited bc i'll be saving my editing brain for bigger fics haha

hope y'all enjoy!! title is not the actual spelling (it's punyeta/nyeta) but i needed an "ñ" to stay on track with completing the filipino alphabet lmao translation is "fuck capitalism" 😘

"I'll do it for you," Kara volunteers, brave, determined, and silly.

"Kara," Lena sighs, shaking her head as a fond smile escapes her. "It's just some shopping with Sam. I'll be fine."

"Lena! You've never been to a Black Friday Sale! It's like the wild west meets the even wilder jungle!"

"That's a bit dramatic, darling, it's just shopping."

Kara steps forward, face grave as she places her hands on Lena's biceps. "Lena, there's nothing in the world that can prepare you for a Black Friday Sale in this country."

Lena would laugh if Kara's face hadn't stayed dead serious. Blue eyes held a solemnity that Kara only ever seemed to reserve for Supergirl business and now, Lena was a little more apprehensive.

"Surely it wouldn't take more than a couple minutes?" But Kara shakes her head and Lena feels her nerves start building. Sam wouldn't lead her to a death trap, right?

"Black Fridays have never had a good rep, and I get that Sam's on a budget what with the move and all, but it's just not a safe situation to push yourselves into."

Lena lets the words sink in but is interrupted by her phone buzzing at a text. "Sam's already outside Kara, it's a little too late to cancel now."

"Well if I can't volunteer for you, then I'm going with," Kara decides, nodding determinedly before grabbing her jacket.

"Is Supergirl really needed to save us from the scary shoppers?" Lena teases despite her worries easing at Kara's declaration. She may not know how wild a sale day may be, but whatever mess she's being thrown into, she knows Kara will keep her safe.

Kara grins in reply, holding her coat out for her to slip into and leading her out the door with a gentle hand at the small of her back. "I did promise to always keep you safe."

"And that's why you're my hero," Lena smirks, tiptoeing to press a kiss to Kara's cheek.

If the day really is going to be as wild as Kara worried, then at least Lena's going into it with the knowledge that she'll be safe by Kara's side (and smug at the sight of her lipstick smudged on Kara's cheek throughout the entire ordeal).

#cw supergirl #supercorp #lena luthor #kara danvers #my writing #queer bread writes #supercorp fanfic #anyways sam teases the fuck out of them the entire time #but also sam is super grateful kara's there too #and this event also makes lena swear to never go shopping with sam again 💕 #supercorptober #supercorptober 2023
