and a new day will dawn for those who stand long

if i were a respected british actor with any principles at all i would simply not agree to a project whose earnings will have material consequences for trans people but maybe i'm built differently

post being like look at these bad men "executing women" and......the women in question are demons puppeting the bodies / corpses of innocent humans to hurt and kill more innocent humans and/or bring upon the apocalypse (which would, get this, kill many people, including women!). sorry if i don't feel bad abt that. sorry if i don't see the winchesters as the bad guys here lol like yes you can critique misogyny in early 2000s shows. you can question why were all these demons depicted as women. you can critique the writers / directors / showrunners abt those choices. but c'mon now the winchesters were not "executing women" in the material reality of the show

"is supernatural good gay television" idk about that "is supernatural romantic" yesssssssssss

"it's never too late to start all over again" about your best friend who came back from the dead from a place that not even god has any power over

heaven and hell weren't enough surviving purgatory together wasn't enough they had to invent another dimensional layer to make dean lose cas they had to invent new forms of transformative love to give dean his buddy back

i think one of the reasons i dont vibe with a lot of modern "romantic" writing is that there's a notable lack of sweetness or tenderness written between the characters. the most popular tropes for intimacy negotiation between characters in modern romantic novels seem to be based around overcoming their own disdain, distrust, or resentment of the other character. an increasingly lazy, kneejerk "i hate how much i want them" approach to romantic and physical intimacy. true love requires doubt, they tell us. our desires can only be trusted when we douse them in cold hard rationality. no i'm not trying to come for the enemies rivals irritating workplace acquaintances to lovers trope that's so popular (although i'm also deeply bored by that). rather, i think it demonstrates a general jadedness in a genre that's otherwise supposed to be about "wish fulfillment HEA" yet struggles to conceive characters for whom tenderness and all-consuming desire is not a weakness. the irrationality that love can instill in a person is held at arm's length, a toxic impulse that must be adjusted in order to present a "healthy relationship." the overly-emotional lover has been relegated to "dark romance," or their behaviors channeled into specific genre-approved tropes which fit neatly into hetero-dominant relationship expectations. so much of it ends up reading pathos-less to me. in the hands of a talented writer, unhinged tenderness is the most excruciating possible thing to read. we used to have that, you know. we used to be a society.

I hate when people dog on Dean cause like, imagine your mom telling you that angels were watching over you every night before tucking you in just for her to get FUCKING FILLETED on the goddamn CELING?!? yeah I’d become a functioning alcoholic too

tv show. white man. hes sad. he has to do important thing but its hard. his girlfriend died probably. TWSIT!! theres another white man. maybe MORE. hes sad too but for different reason. its very deep probably. theyre best friends but not gay but maybe they are haha fandom!!! every girl dies or goes away. just not gay white man friend. 10 seasons 100 million viewers. what will moody white men do this week.

This post just turned 10 years old which is pretty fucked up actually. When I made this post people would say things like “actually supernatural only has 8 seasons” but here we are in 2023 so who’s laughing now. Not me I want to die

"Racism is a purely abstract concept/thought experiment when it's a non-white person talking about it. But when I, a white person, gets called out for racism, all of a sudden inverse racism is the realest most harmful thing that can be done to anyone" - average racist white queer person.

and i am STILL asking this. like………… imagine the john we see after this isn't him at all but him possessed, either by demon or angel, to carry out the various Agendas of heaven and hell necessary to bring on the apocalypse !!!! bc the way dean and sam were raised isolated and on the run and trained to be soldiers absolutely was what both heaven and hell wanted, hoping it would prime them to easily surrender as vessels.

@johnwinchesterofficial what do u have to say about all this?

every night before i go to sleep i douse myself in a flame retardant coating which makes me so slick and slippery i am easily able to squeeze through fireballs the way a dolphin at sea world jumps through rings

feminist killjoy hours again, what the actual fuck is “weird girl literature” and how often do we acquiesce to the latest degrading gendered advertising campaigns

Women did not fucking pioneer horror, thriller, and science fiction as we know it for publishing to infantilize it into a high school phase

is Stephen king “weird boy literature”? Or does he get to be an adult horror novelist?
