*Takes her glasses off and rubs her eyes* Sweet muffins, I’ve been busy recently.

Before I start here, know that I’m still destiel positive. I still think the reading of Cas’ “I love you” as romantic is intended and valid. However, I also think the platonic reading is intended. I think they’re still trying to play both sides. That doesn’t mean I think they’ll do that forever though. I can see the signs of shore here. Seagulls and sandbars. It feels like a matter of time before we reach land but I can’t know of course.

The title of 12.12 can be read as a cheeky acknowledgement of this.

“Stuck in the middle” as in “between things”, an ambiguous phrasing in itself since it doesn’t specify where the things are or what they’re between on its own. The (With you) implies another party of either a person or persons. Again ambiguous and where they are in relation to being stuck is also ambiguous but the acknowledgement of some other party involved is drawn attention to.

Rite = another word for ritual [source]

Rete =  An interwoven network of nerves, blood vessels or passageways. [source]

Of course, a repulse. Fitting

1. Probably read as “enu-ti” as in the normal English way of reading. Add “re-” and read it fast, sounds like “reunity”. At least it is for me. But wait, reunity is not an actual word. The correct word for re-unity is reunite even though some people keep using the word “reunity” as in “Re-Unity” (to make an unity again).

2. There’s this old storage device named “NT Cassette”. First introduced by Sony in 1992, sometimes marketed as “Scoopman”.  It’s already out of market today, but ja.wiki write that this thing manage to survive the market until 1999 and finally went out of production in 2011. It was also said to be the first tape to be mass-produced. The thing is, it seems NT Cassette is also called “NT Tape” in Japan (officially Digital Micro Cassette). If NT actually refer to this, then it could be “retape” as in the act to re-record something with a tape (equivalent to “retake” a scene) or re-applying a tape. While my auto-correct still not agreeing with the word, as far as I know retape is more commonly used than reunity.

3. One of the interesting thing is, the term of “New Testament” come out while I’m searching about NT. We all know that Eto like to talk about Old Testament.

4. Other NT that has nothing to do but may add to reference. New Type from Gundam, which is also an anime monthly magazine title. Windows NT. People who can’t deal with news. Nice Try. NT Cutter (a brand of Cutter from Japan).

As in “degree Celsius”. Degree is read as “do” in Japanese, so the first part is almost clearly refer to “redo”.

Celsius sometimes read “Sesshi” (摂氏) or “Seshi” (セ氏) instead of simply “Celsius”. The “shi” part is usually used as honorific for stranger in a more formal way than -san.

Tbh I don’t have any clue on how the Celcius part can fit with the “add title with re-”, but the degree part is pretty much “redo”
