Hi, I’m only on the fourth episode and as far as triggers go, there have been instances of taunting and derogatory slurs toward members of the LGBT community, domestic violence, and mentions of r*pe. I don’t know how triggering these topics are for you (or if they are at all), but I don’t think they’ll keep you from enjoying the series as a whole.

Things I like so far:

The beautiful representation and presentation of members of the LGBT community

The diversity of the cast in general as they don’t fit the stereotypical standards of beauty perpetuated in asian culture (i.e. fair/light skin, slender bodies etc.). 

The polyamorous relationship – I haven’t seen much representation of this type of relationship, so I’m interested to see how it’ll be explored and developed

The sets and lighting in the series; as a very visual person, my eyes are feasting in almost every scene

Hi, and yeah, I’m thinking back to 12.03, and Mary and Cas talking about wondering when they’ll feel like they belonged there. Sure, Mary didn’t feel like she belonged because of her own guilt over her role in... everything. Everything that happened to them because of her deal, that she couldn’t protect them from because she’d been dead for 33 years. So for Mary, her discomfort was more “couldn’t look her children in the face without feeling like she destroyed their lives for ten selfish years of what she’d wanted, and how everything she’d hoped for in saving John went up in flames the night she died.” So, founded in guilt.

Not to mention the whole literally-out-of-place, having been resurrected 33 years after she died, and her children and the rest of the world changed completely in that time. So for Mary, everywhere she looked-- not just inside the bunker with Sam and Dean-- had to feel “out of place,” you know? Life is very different now than it was in 1983...

Cas didn’t feel terribly “out of place” in the bunker until Mary came back. A big part of the reason he left in 12.03 was because he felt Sam and Dean needed to spend some “family time” with Mary. Cas knew she wasn’t adjusting well, and he partly wanted to remove himself from the situation to give her space to adjust... With her back, he didn’t know what his place was anymore. So in that respect, I think what he was feeling will mirror some of what Dean might feel when he gets home.

I think there’s gonna be a lot more making Dean feel out of place in his own home (and like... even out of place in his own skin after what he’s been through), but yeah, at least in this, I think he’ll get a first-hand understanding of how Cas felt in 12.03. Returning home not to his refuge from the world, but the bunker turned into a place of constant activity. Not only that, but Sam acting as the “chief” to a couple dozen people who now look to him for leadership.

@actiaslunaris​ @moonbeamtea​ @dancingontheedgeofwizardary​​ thank you thank you thank you ^_^ I am so grateful to have such kind people in my life, you all are so wonderful, I am literally like this rn:

Heck, I have been wondering about Sam and Rowena, their linked fates just through their similar experiences of having been affected by their own personal deals (re: Crowley and the BotD), and their links through Lucifer going back to s10, and they seem to have been building on it even more recently.

Knowing that Sam’s essentially destined to kill Rowena in every possible circumstance can have multiple meanings, you know? And considering that’s a sort of profound bond to share with someone (you probably can see where I’m going with this), where essentially all roads lead to that one conclusion, there’s a pretty telling parallel to be made to another profound bond on the show...

Cas has been struggling with his place in the universe, who and what he is, and what that means for him. And now Rowena has too. She finally got what she always thought she wanted-- the full return of her power-- only to realize that her power couldn’t change the one thing she would’ve traded it all for. But in that moment she felt she’d lost everything, she got something else in return. She wasn’t able to kill Sam, even knowing that he was destined to kill her, and it gave her back a piece of her own humanity.

So Sam and Rowena have a strong bond here...

But if he is fated to kill her, it could be for any number of reasons, and in any number of ways. She could legit betray the Winchesters again and Sam would kill her (but I doubt this). She could sacrifice herself like Crowley did to save Sam. Or... she could give up the power that’s kept her essentially immortal for hundreds of years to live a human lifetime because Sam asks her to, or because she chooses to surrender her power because she wants to stay with Sam. In that case, the only reason she’d be capable of dying at all would technically be “because of Sam.”

“Cas, I love you. I love you so much and- and-and fuck Cas. Please. Stay. Stay with me now, stay with me forever. But please, please don’t go. I cant- I don’t want to do it without you anymore.” (Pt2 of a lil story I wrote just thought ya might like it)

I DO LIKE IT.

Dean using his words is always something I like. :D
