brotp them with: Jon!! They were besties pre canon bc i said so!!

needs to stay away from: THE CIRCUS

what a good one

I feel like Charlie is an easy one bc who doesn’t love Charlie but man I just!! Love Charlie!! Charlie feels like the show course-correcting and apologizing for the way it brought in female characters before, particularly “nerdier” ones who were meant to be be audience avatars of a sort (Becky. I’m thinking of Becky here, and the absolute contempt the show had for her.) Like, here, here is a fully realized character, with her own story and her own life, who is cool and fun and dynamic and not an action hero but someone who we can properly see ourselves in (and the fact that she’s queer is, of course, such a huge part of what makes her an audience avatar), who forms a genuine bond with the boys and Dean especially but isn’t entirely wrapped up in their lives. I always think about the moment where she implies that she named herself “Charlie Bradbury,” she has a huge history we don’t know about and she decided to give herself a super cool name!

And just the fact that she is gay!! And there’s NO drama about this, she is who she is, entirely, in a way that makes her connection with Dean feel SO profound, he learns from her as much as she learns from him. (You know that post that’s like the best m/f friendship dynamic is “pure of heart dumb of ass, and a lesbian”? DEAN AND CHARLIE) The way she’s completely at ease with the parts of herself that terrify Dean about himself. The vulnerabilities. The things he thinks are weaknesses. And just. They couldn’t have her in the bunker with them because she is TOO competent and self-assured and emotionally mature and she would have made the Winchesters et al. get over themselves in. a. second.

AWW YISS. from this askbox meme.

Ship It

What made you ship it? i am Not Immune to the inherent romanticism of dramatic rescues. nobutsrsly i don’t know that there was one moment where it was like a lightbulb of Oh, I Ship This Now. i remember really liking their dynamic whenever it showed up in s1-s3, but being so used to queerbaiting that when Jon woke up from his coma and was like I’M OVER MY SELF-EXPLORATION ABOUT THIS WHERE IS MY MARTIN WHOM I LOVE SO DEARLY i was like .....am i being punked? what happened? where did this come from? i love it but this cannot be what it sounds like right? and then we hit what jonny called the ‘let’s gouge out our eyes and make out’ scene and i was like holy shit they’re doing it???? so like. it was a journey that was both very fast and very slow.

What are your favourite things about the ship? i love how tied up in both of their character development it is!!! i love that it is a relationship that at its core is good for both of them, and that their relationship with each other has been so integral in them growing as people and finding themselves. i love that you cannot separate their development out from the ship, while at the same time having them both still be distinct and whole characters outside of it. i love that the relationship isn’t an extra that’s tacked on but is so fundamental to the narrative.

3)     TFW: Sam, Dean, or Cas stan? I wanna hear your dissertation :)

Cas. Because you know who you are, right? You have a mission, you have a purpose, but the people who gave you that purpose turn out to suck. But you can still do it! Because it was right all along even if most authority is sketchy at some level. Only nobody ever tells you shit, and human interaction is fucking weird and complicated and you always do it wrong even when you try to do it right, and you try not to care that everyone is secretly or not so secretly laughing at you. Because you are clearly better than them and stronger than them and more badass than them-- and you know what you’re trying to do and it actually is really fucking important but nobody is fucking listening so yeah, maybe you have to do some shady shit but at least it’s better than the literal end of the world and why won’t anyone fucking realize that? but you go overboard so then you spend the next several years trying to make up for it and continuing to make things worse because people won’t stop fucking with you and still won’t tell you what’s going on, and meanwhile you’re just trying to carry out your original mission (Save Dean Winchester) but you don’t know what that looks like anymore and also, he’s an asshole, but you understand why he’s an asshole and it’s impossible to hate someone who knows you that well and so you keep fucking trying but you are consistently screwed over by the writers and not allowed to grow and you’re pretty sure that they’re still laughing at you and you try not to care. 

7)     What season should Supernatural have ended at? Or was s15 the right place to end? Again, dissertation required :) 

Here’s the thing. If they wanted to tell a good story, season five. If they wanted to tell a story I was willing to watch, season ten (but with the ending changed so it’s actually a season finale.) But because it went on as long as it did they got to do some weird bonkers stuff and if it ended any earlier we’d never have had our lives ruined by 15.18, so... yeah, sure, give us the fucking content.

That being said, the real answer to this question is “they should have given their slot to wayward sisters before they lost Claire’s actress to HBO.”

10)   Your favourite season and why. 

8, but mostly for sentimental reasons: it was the first season I watched live, and I had a friend on the other side of the country that was watching it with me, and the fandom was so full of hope at that point. And there was Benny, and Charlie, and Garth, and it was just a good time. There was so much good fic being written and good meta being written. 

13)   Arc: Your favourite arc. Get specific! 

Dean’s alcoholism. How it was getting steadily worse in the background during season seven when he was mourning Cas and then he had to detox in purgatory and you see him in season eight drinking coffee and whatnot. It was lovely and subtle and I really thought they were going somewhere with that, but it turned out they weren’t because. god forbid.

also, human!Cas. I wish that had lasted longer and they’d allowed him to actually, like, grow as a person and become competent at things instead of treating him like he was a baby until he became an angel again. 

23)   If you could forget all of spn, would you watch it again? Why/why not? 

No. I’d probably just watch a few clips and read fanfic, like I do for Merlin. The show is fifteen seasons long, a lot of those seasons are infuriating, and I simply do not have that kind of time.

Yes I am furloughed from my job Yes I have been home for nine months No I do not have time to watch TV Yes it has taken me like six??? months to watch RWBY but I’m working on it it is complicated

Trust (BItter Ruin) Oxygen Mask (Eisley) Remains (Maurissa Tancharoen/Jed Whedon) I Will Never Die (Delta Rae) Arrow (Tegan and Sara) Science/Visions (CHVRCHES) If You Want Me (The Swell Season) Make Me Feel (Janelle Monae) My Silver Lining (First Aid Kit) Ordinary Day (Vanessa Carlton) No Such Thing (Sara Bareilles) Sugar-Coated Poison (Elizabeth and the Catapult)

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD QUESTION WOW THANK YOU FOR THIS POLINA

1. cruel summer

i’m drunk in the back of the car and i cried like a baby coming home from the bar said i’m fine but it wasn’t true, i don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you and i snuck in through the garden gate every night that summer just to seal my fate and i scream for whatever it’s worth, i love you, ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard?

2. death by a thousand cuts

my heart, my hips, my body, my love, trying to find a part of me that you didn’t touch, gave up on me like i was a bad drug now i’m searching for signs in a haunted club/our songs, our films, united we stand/our country guess it was a lawless land, quiet my fears with the touch of your hand, papercut stings from my paper-thin plans/my time, my wine, my spirit, my trust, trying to find a part of me you didn’t take up, gave you so much but it wasn’t enough, but i’ll be all right, it’s just a thousand cuts

3. out of the woods

remember when you hit the brakes too soon?/twenty stitches in the hospital room/when you started crying, baby, i did too/when the sun came up i was looking at you/remember when you couldn’t take the heat?/i walked out, i said i’m setting you free/but the monsters turned out to be just trees/when the sun came up you were looking at me

4. dear john

you are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry/and never impressed by me acing your tests/all the girls that you’ve run dry have tired lifeless eyes cuz you burned them out/but i took your matches before fire could catch me so don’t look now/i’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

5. wildest dreams
