And please, donate to your local PBS/NPR station. I'm fucking serious. I'm freaking 43 and Bert still makes me cry.

As Jack continues to deteriorate (and with him, reality itself), Dean and Castiel attempt a dangerous extraction of Michael’s Grace in order to save him. Meanwhile, Sam and Rowena prepare a spell to tether Jack’s soul to his body. Alerted by the ricochet effect of a dying Naphil, a faction invested in the disavowal of God’s will steps out from the shadows to make their demands.

But go read this.

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

Dean and Cas spending hours late into the night just talking, Dean struggling to stay awake just to spend more time with Cas, but eventually stumbling into his room wishing this could be something more, while Cas sits quietly alone, thinking what he wants is something he can’t have

-the cw, probably.

Advanced Thanatology is like “it’s so funny, Dean is passed out with a bra on his head and hungover and eating a lot of bacon,” and then 15 minutes later he’s in the veil and telling Death he doesn’t matter, and then begging for a win in the middle of all the loss he has suffered

Head canon/potentially actual canon: Dean goes to see doms when he's hitting rock bottom.

ah yes, a totally normal way to look at your straight best friend, because you have a 100% straight friendship, its so obvious that those two are really good friends, such a strong platonic bond, man 👍

Joyful Resistance, Harlem (2020) Sade Fasanya

When I try to pronounce names I've never heard from languages I'm not very familiar with, this is my goal. To say it correctly, with an accent. It would be lovely to be able to say it identical to how a native speaker of the name's language of origin would say it but that's not feasible to do for every name I come into contact with. I think identifying the closest English (or German, since my German is decent) approximations of the sounds in the new name and using those is fine. I think this generally comes across as saying the name correctly, with an accent. And I think that's a reasonable goal. It's a little bit of work but not a ton. My experience is that people generally find me doing this to be suitably respectful, and it's almost always functional, as in, close enough to a native pronunciation to be recognized as referring to the person whose name it is.

this is immensely funny to me

Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn't know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.

omg you people can do anything
