#the touch of you corrupts

[scoobydoodean]

The thing is that when Cas first laid a hand on Dean in hell he was lost, and not actually because "For the first time, I feel". Cas had felt before he knew Dean. We know this because we know Cas had rebelled before. Naomi tells us Cas never did as he was told—that Cas had a "Crack in the chassis straight off the line" (something Chuck later echoes in a rage).

Cas's rebellion is far older than Dean and that rebellion is a function of what he feels. Cas just doesn't get to remember feeling. Each time he does, he's stripped of the memory of it... but subconsciously he starts to understand it as something he must keep secret.

Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul?

Cas is in love with humanity, and we conflate this with Dean because Dean is the narrative heart, and the subject of Cas's greatest love, and because the concept of humanity and Dean are so deeply linked they're almost one in the same. We are not at all wrong to conflate the two, but make no mistake—Cas is in love humanity.

You misunderstand me, Dean, I’m not like you think. I was praying that you would choose to save the town.

Cas calls humanity a work of art, and the camera pans to Dean sitting on the bench beside him. Dean represents humanity. Not just as precious works of art, but also because humans get to feel. Humans don't get lobotomized for feeling. Dean encourages Cas to feel. He encourages Cas to feel by asking him to—begging him to, and by feeling for others, and by existing and deserving to be loved himself.

Dean echoes free will to Cas like a call from the wild. He's the beauty of humanity. He's the liberation and beautiful terror of choice. The reason "You always have a choice" and "There is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it" works is because Cas already feels, already hopes, already loves.

You were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna warn me about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible camp. Help me -- now. Please.

The function by which Dean gets through to Cas is through Cas's own feelings and convictions. He gets through because Cas is "not a hammer, as you say". Cas has questions. Cas has doubts.

Cas is in love with humanity, and every time he remembers it, he gets packed off to Bible Camp and he forgets. But he can remember again. What it takes is a push. What it takes is a hand reached out in the darkness. The day Cas rescued Dean from hell, two people were saved. A hand clawed out toward Cas too, breaking through his own torturous prison and offering him escape. For the first time in a long time, he felt.

Dean's importance is that he touches Cas. He makes Cas remember. And he keeps making Cas remember. Through touch, through words, through the expression of his own affection for Cas and for others. Because Dean cares, Cas cares.

this is a Emily Holmes (the actor who played Hester in SPN) appreciation post.

She really understood the assignment.

She delivers very few lines, appears in just 1 episode in season 7, ends up dead quite soon, yet she is simply unforgettable.

"The very touch of you corrupts. When Castiel first laid a hand on you in hell, he was lost." is probably one of the best lines in the whole show + one of the most well-acted scenes. Kudos to her, thank you for giving us life!

the major arcana, shuffled: 5/??

THE TOWER; ⤉ disaster, destruction, upheaval, trauma ⤈ resisting change, avoiding tragedy, delaying the inevitable, avoiding loss

#mypost. #ffxiv gpose #ffxiv screenshots #ffxiv oc #🏵️ #ffxiv:tma #back at it again with the cursed family paintings!! #i was stumped on how to make this look like a tower ngl. i think i did good but i feel like these needed more post-process editing. w/e #if you see clipping no you don't ssshhhhhh- #yea i know cassie's husband isn't here but this isn't about him. this is about the tatlonghari's collective family trauma!!! #only ones missing are paris and andi. paris doesn't consider themselves fully apart of the family and andi missed a lot of the upheaval #wanted to showcase the entirety of the family and how priam has been the direct cause of all their problems #the symbolism here is that the left showcases the ones who are alive. the right are those who were killed by priam #notice how on the left they're not touching each other despite being so close to one another #they're not smiling either. they're extremely distant even within close proximity #whereas the right they're holding onto each other and smiling (rather creepily but you know) #i made a corrupted version but i think it's important to see their happy faces more clearly. notice how they kinda look demonic #and yea priam's face is scribbled out but you can see that his face was beat in #and pammon (priam's twin) and andromache (who priam thought was dead for years) are choking him #the reverse got flipped wrong when you look at it rightside up but it adds to the creepiness i think #body horror cw #gore cw #<- just in case

I’m like if an avatar of the corruption was a non-binary college student majoring in entomology

#I can’t tell if I’m just rotting in my mind or all throughout my insides #the earth calls to me I want to lie in the soft dirt and watch roots replace my veins and insects make a home from my flesh #you lie down on my lap and you can’t tell if it’s just in your head but you could swear something is moving under my skin #one moment I’m in bed the next I am a bog body preserved on the outside but I may as well be a hive with all who have made a home in me #they/them because I’m never alone… #I’m a museum intern surrounded my death and decay but the insects I pin are perfectly pereserved #you can’t tell from looking at me but if you were to touch my skin it’s dry and chitonous like pinned and dried insects or maybe a molt #the magnus protocol #the magnus archives #tma podcast #the corruption

something that makes me real sad is that since the CQL is a live action, the gestures and movements are more prominent as the characters speak. And since Wei Wuxian is a hyperactive character prancing around, it's very noticeable how much he sticks to Jiang Cheng in the beginning. When they are being driven out of the inn, he very explicitly has a whole arm around Jiang Cheng until they come face to face with Jin Zixuan. When Lan Wangji places the Silencing Charm on him, Wei Wuxian's immediate response is to start tugging at him. Like I haven't gotten far (and it is in fact a shame that we didn't get the piggy back ride.....like if Wangxian canon why censor the Chengxian piggy back ride /lh) in the drama but knowing the story is enough to make me very very sad.

#jiang cheng #wei wuxian #chengxian #cql #chen qing ling #the untamed #kk's liveblog tag #they love each other! Touching each other came as easy as breathing to them! Which makes it all the more heart breaking when WWX reaches ou #to wipe JC's tears in the temple with the words ''forget it. It's all in the past now'' on his lips! Touching brings back too many memories #after the fall of Lotus Pier! It can't carry the same innocence of childhood! It's too corrupted by the pain of sacrifice! #you can't think of each other without thinking of the pain! When does it all start! When does it end! #(cx need to start paying rent for how much they occupy my head. I would be rich if they do /lh)

Begging you all to watch the show without the m•rthur lens, because all sense of who these characters even are has been lost here.

#bbc merlin #merlin meta #tag meta #my meta #fandom critical #arthur critical #woobify much? #you will all just see whatever you wanna see huh. even if it is this disturbing. even if it is this dehumanizing. and all of it romanticized #also arthur doesn’t trust too much. or else maybe he’d legalize magic 🤪 his trust clearly doesn’t extend to the people he’s oppressing #arthur’s problem is nepotism! his problem is that he always trusts what is most comfortable for him to believe! #and most of the time he only looks as far as he is affected on a personal level! #he cares if someone /shows/ him the effects but it’s as gwen says… he shouldn’t need someone to hold his hand through being a decent person. #he’s not a child. and as prince he is supposed to have an even greater responsibility in this area. #anyways arthur has absolutely disagreed with people he trusts and stood his ground when he thinks it’s right. he has a mind of his own. #if he believed that his actions were truly wrong then he simply wouldn’t do them. we have seen this in action. #and this isn’t even touching on the merlin side of things. merlin did not cause arthur’s death. #you can scream it all you want but arthur’s bigotry is his alone. he chooses to lean into it again and again. arthur always has a choice. #it’s not that merlin didn’t ‘do enough’ to ‘fix’ him. wiping clean any accountability for arthur and putting it all on merlin’s shoulders #simply because merlin is one of those oppressed people and so ‘knows better’ (arthur already knows that magic isn’t inherently harmful- #-he chooses to believe that it corrupts people because it’s an easier guilt-free explanation) #…blaming merlin for arthur’s preference towards anti-magic sentiment is sick. arthur and merlin are their own individual people. #merlin is loyal to arthur because he sees his potential for the goodness that will unite albion and give his people a future. #arthur is his only hope. he’s battling tooth and nail with all these prophecies. ffs. #you cannot understand this series or these characters or their relationship dynamics in any way that matters #without first recognizing them as individuals and as people. people with different values motives approaches etc. #also the fact merlin is arthur’s servant and ‘happy’ to deal with his classism is inextricable from this #tw eye sore #tw hypnosis #tw unreality #tw delusion bait

I'm a Kalt'tsit/Skadi/Ishar'mla enjoyer. Please. Regale me of this AU

im not the best at writing things out so i will instead let my very nice friend @helico-prion do this for me for me:

"First, Ishar-mla took Gladiia from Kal'tsit. Then She took the hunters Gladiia entrusted to Kal'tsit--including the last, most helpless one. Then, She took Rhodes Island from her, all of humanity, and then even her companion for years innumerable, Mon3tr. Ishar-mla stole everything from Kal'tsit, including her reason for being, and Kal'tsit rages with an intensity she has not felt since Theresa's death--to no avail as nothing she vanquished could compare to the might of a God. As she hates and despairs, Ishar-mla dares to want to love her, to soothe Her loneliness, that which She has brought upon Herself."

#what if we were the last two remnants of humanity and we were both undying #what if after trying to purge every trace of humanity from the world #You found out that the only remnant of it You could not touch was the one living on within You. #and what if this remnant made You yearn for something We many could never give #the caring touch of another. the tender love of that which isn't You. #kal'tsit arknights #skadi arknights #skadi the corrupting heart #Ishar-mla

Atsushi's back in the game!!! ۶( ˆ o ˆ )

#And Kouyou!!!! #Also. I can say Steinbeck is kinda 👀👀👀 #King of the specific category of “I forget I like him until he's on screen” #I'm seriously unlocking memories with this rewatch. Like I haven't thought about it in two years– #but I just know when I was watching the anime for the first time I was being like #“Of COURSE the villains need to spend several minutes each episode explaining in detail how their own superpowers work so that the– #protagonists can get a perfect idea of how to best counter them. Why are villains made so freaking stupid in this show” aljhvwslchvqliyqwb #But. Eh. I guess that's just bsd to you. #Alsoooooo random thought of the day: I don't really favour how Tanizaki's ability was adapted in the anime. #I very well understand they were going for this green Matrix-like illusion effect‚ but every time someone says “... Snow?” #I'm like please explain where do you live that has snow glowing green. #Aamsjgvfaskjhfv sorry this is me being very. Cranky and nitpicky and having terrible audience etiquette in refusing to– #engage in suspension of disbelief. It just bugs me akvakcvqkyb I just feel like... Green is such a non-snow color– #that quite of completely disrupts the Light Snow / Sasame Yuki aesthetic. I would have liked it much better light blue or simply white. #What else. The way the Guild just goes on at stereotypes still troubles me a lot. The “usamericans can't be touched by laws– #because they use money to corrupt anyone” “foreign criminal organization come in our country to corrupt our pure and untouched soil” #Idk. Maybe all of it is true. Can it still be deemed a stereotype when it's objectively something that's happened before– #and will probably keep happening? #I suppose I'm just not a fan of the constant hostility against any foreigner. Idk. #This situation besides is extremely ironical. If you meet me irl it probably won't take long to see me being very outspoken about– #how much I despise usa cultural colonization of all other countries. It's something that really bothers me‚ how rooted and pervasive– #their influence is. So in a lot of ways I can relate to the author's sentiment #I just feel that. If you start treating them as stereotypes and ignore the complexity of a country and the wide spectrum of causes– #that contribute to its attitude in international relations. You end up practicing precisely what you're trying to criticize. #Okay this is the last time I'm getting into the politics of the Guild arc lol #random rambles #This time I took watching the episode slow I feel a little late

Drabble: Hidden Temptation

Dean Winchester, the epitome of strength and resilience, had a secret—one that he had kept hidden from the world. It was a desire that consumed him, whispered in the darkest corners of his mind. And you, unbeknownst to him, held the power to awaken that temptation.

One evening, as the hunter focused on sharpening his weapons, you entered the room, your presence silently stealing Dean's attention as he heard your light footsteps coming closer and closer.

A magnetic pull drew him towards you, an unexplainable connection that left him yearning for your touch.

But you were oblivious to the effect you had on Dean. Your innocence and genuine affection captivated him, your every word and gesture igniting a fire deep within his soul. The very touch of yours corrupted his thoughts, stirring desires that he never thought he would succumb to.

As you moved closer, unaware of the turmoil inside Dean, a surge of longing washed over him. He fought to maintain his composure, his walls crumbling under the weight of his forbidden desire. He ached to hold you, to confess the depths of his affection, but the fear of tarnishing their bond held him captive.

"Hey, Dean," You greeted, your voice pulling him from his turbulent thoughts. "I brought you some coffee."

Dean tore his gaze away, blinking back the intensity of his emotions, hoping you didn't see them. "Thanks," he managed, his voice strained, the internal battle raging within him.

Your fingers brushed against his lightly as you handed him the coffee cup, and in that fleeting contact, Dean felt his self-control slip. The warmth of your touch seared through his veins, sparking a longing that threatened to consume him entirely.

As you moved away, Dean clenched his jaw, desperately trying to suppress the desires that clawed at him. He knew he couldn't give in, couldn't risk jeopardizing the purity of their connection. But with each passing day, the struggle grew more unbearable.

Alone once again, Dean sank into the chair, his mind clouded with conflicting emotions. The temptation to confess his forbidden longing was overwhelming, and he wondered if he could resist the allure of your touch any longer.

For now, he chose to bury his desires deep within, shielding you from the darkness that simmered beneath his surface. But the battle within him waged on, the very sense of you forever etching itself into his heart, promising a future filled with forbidden passion and the ever-present risk of corruption.

*I just quickly went through your blog and saw that post about deastiel's 'your very touch corrupts' and damn that made me feel things. Hope you liked this ☺*

Aww, beautiful, thank you!! Poor Dean, absolutely beating himself up. Love that you used the quote ❤️
