Final commission post for now! A request of wing cuddles. I have no idea why she thought I'd be interested in drawing this (hehehe). Thank you!

Little patron commission for Linda, who requested a tie-pull and shutting the angel up, which really, is the best way to win an argument IMHO.

What do you do when your human charge keeps crashing on your lap and denying it the next morning?

(Yes, it's 2025 and I'm still destieling, you don't have to remind me)

"As of midnight on Sunday, June 15, we have data from about 40% of No Kings Day events held yesterday, accounting for over 2.6m attendees. According to our back-of-the-envelope math, that puts total attendance somewhere in the 4-6 million people range. That means roughly 1.2-1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event somewhere in the country yesterday."

gets me whenever i remember… it’s the of course part for me

///

other things that get me are how 15x09 features an angel trap (not a ring of fire, a trap) in the wilderness, in a land of total war, of (God’s) abandonment…

Cas was lured into a ring of blossoms, into a tiny garden he wanted to use to protect his human fam… and then Dean awoke to Cas gone and that little grove scorched.

//

After Dean’s prayer, Cas was energized; he got the blossom and fought, because Dean’s prayer is the blossom in so many ways. Their initial meeting was born from Dean’s resurrection. It’s literally a love grown from death, from ashes, over and over again!

////

and then! visually 15x18 Dean and Cas enter, in Dean’s words, “another trap.”

This is echoed visually, as they’re inside a Devil’s trap now, with Dean’s feet still-in-it at the end. The devil’s trap inside a dungeon, a place of (God’s) torture.

Two traps. And aborted love confession and a clearly verbalized testament of love.

The traps are in essence the very same, only… one got sprung.

Dean was supposed to spring it, but Cas cut him off "I heard your prayer," etc. Cas led them to Purgatory, where Dean (almost) said I love you. And later, Dean led them to Death, where Cas said I love you.

Crowley’s known for tossing insulting nicknames out, but @firstdrafted wondered if there was a searchable database of all the things he’s called folks over the years. Of course, I couldn’t resist wasting an entire evening (when I should’ve been writing pffft) and compiling one. I was kind of surprised at how short the list really is. If I’ve missed any, please feel free to add them. This list is current through 11.13 11.17 11.18. 12.06. 12.07 12.12 12.15 12.23

I was already really grateful to whoever in the Seattle Passport Office worked late to get these things processed on the last Friday before That Man gets back into office... and then I got a notification that my passport shipped at fucking midnight Pacific and whoever got that shit out the door so it couldn't be picked up on Monday and like, denied and shredded?

So... yep. Passport folx at the State Department really did work incredibly long hours this week just... shoveling every passport out the door (and prioritizing the ones that might be A Problem come Monday) and yes, they did On Purpose make sure that all of them weren't just DONE but MAILED and out the door and in the hands of the USPS so that they can't be told to pull those passports back and deny/destroy them.

This also means they got the OK for the mountains of overtime from the Biden administration to get that done.

This is what I mean when I say that the Good Work is often not glamorous and that we have to prioritize things which actively and immediately better the lives of our siblings. The State Department worker who was still in the office last night at midnight Pacific time stuffing my passport into an Express Mail envelope and making sure that it was in the hands of USPS has done more liberatory work for the trans movement than 100 people endlessly auditing the language others use to describe their lives ever will.
