NON-BLACKS DON’T INTERACT. Every time I think about how normalized men cheating on their SO is in black communities I start seething. People see black women getting used & their trust getting trampled on & just shrug & say all men do that as if it’s as natural as breathing like wtf. And everyone just enables it, one time I said smth about cheating being bad & since I’m not out to anyone in my family my own fucking mother just straight up said I’ll probably cheat once I start dating too & what kills me is how casual she said it. And that’s not even touching on the double standard, I still remember some talk show with a group of men talking about cheating & some dude said he wanted his wife to “look into her heart” or some shit & forgive him but he’d never forgive her & everyone just sat around & agreed. Like just fuck off with that shit & kys

hello dear mutual! I have a question. I'm no longer in the fandom but I like watching from the sidelines. there was a poll asking if destiel will still be made canon and my question is: how. isn't the prequel planned about the parents? I would love an explanation cause I don't understand. thank you so much!!
Hello there friend!! I'm happy to explain, I love rambling about this batshit show so much!
So yes, the prequel is about the parents, but I'm not sure how much you know about it so here's a little primer: from what I've seen, it's actually Dean telling the story of how his parents met and fell in love, presumably while he's up in Heaven post-finale (y'know, where Cas is also supposed to be). Jensen and his wife Daneel are executive producing, and the prequel is being showrun by Robbie Thompson, known for writing such episodes as Goodbye Stranger (the crypt scene my beloved!!!!!!), Meta Fiction ("What makes a story work? Is it the plot, the characters, the text? The subtext?"), and Fan Fiction (the musical ep! With Sam teasing Dean about destiel!). So from the get-go everyone was like �� because Robbie has always been a destiel-positive writer! Plus, apparently, Daneel's favourite character is Cas, so it would make sense for them to bring Cas back if they (and Misha) wanted!
Please bear in mind that I haven't actually watched any of the prequel, i've just been living vicariously through my dash. People who have actually watched it/know more than me please feel free to add on/correct me!
So, to my knowledge, the reasons people are thinking they might make Destiel canon in the prequel are (in no particular order):
a) A few weeks ago there was an episode that had Gabriel (as played by Richard Speight Jr) as the MOTW and also had a background cameo from Rob Benedict in a very bad wig (unclear if that was Chuck or not), and there have been quotes from (i think) Robbie saying that they're only having cameos from OG SPN actors if it's relevant to the story they want to tell (and since the Rob cameo was not explained or plot-relevant people are thinking they're possibly going to do a Chuck won scenario? It could turn out that he was never actually defeated in 15.19 and now Dean has to show up to fight him again (and get Cas back?? maybe??))
b) In that same episode, there was a scene where Mary and John look at a picture of some dude who'd given them a clue or talked to John or something - it was Dean! So he's alive again, briefly, in the 70s. Could be time travel, could be he's escaped from Heaven. So if Dean is around in the show, whether just as narrator or as a character in the story, he has the potential to go rogue and look for Cas, or be telling the story to Cas up in Heaven. In either case, there is the potential for canon destiel, if they (Jensen, Daneel, Robbie, Misha, etc.) decide they want to do that.
c) Jensen has said various things at cons recently which are kinda 👀, including that he'd have been happy to keep going on SPN for another 6 years, and, most recently (this weekend), which I think sparked the poll you were talking about - that if Dean and Cas reunited Dean would say "Hey, can we talk about that goodbye a little bit?" and then joked that nah, it would be more like "hey, buddy, good to see you, old pal" but THEN said "I don't know, maybe we'll get to see that, that would be interesting" (Here's a gifset of him saying that if you're interested)
Also this:
[ID: Tweet from Toni @JensFloofHair.
JENSEN WANTS TO FILM A NEW ENDING FOR SUPERNATURAL, THE ONE HE HAD DREAMED OF. ABOUT A 2 DAY SHOOTING, HE SAYS.
Misha: I mean, you have the Impala.
Damn right, nothing stopping them!!
#JIB11 /End ID]
It's no secret that Jensen Did Not like the finale, apparently Eric Kripke had to talk him into it and he still makes salty jokes about it even now. Add the fact that he got someone else to film the confession for him because he wanted to have a record of it, and has said they cut out key parts of his performance in that scene (which is why the editing of it is so janky). So it's possible that he intended for there to be actual reciprocation in that scene and, well, now he's got the reins. He could do it if he wanted!!!
d) The prequel finale - airing next Tuesday, Jack help us - is titled "Hey, that's no way to say goodbye". Which was already kinda 👀 before the con this weekend, but combined with Jensen saying Dean would say "can we talk about that goodbye a little bit?" is um. Look I don't wanna get my hopes up. But also........ 👀👀👀
I think the prevailing theories at the moment (from what I've seen on my dash) are that either:
a) They're baiting us to keep interest in the prequel (I trust Robbie but I don't really trust Jensen, so this seems likely)
b) They really are gonna bring Cas back, either as him being the one Dean is telling this story to up in Heaven, or using that Rob Benedict cameo to retcon the finale and make the show about breaking free of Chuck's control for realsies this time (which hopefully means Cas actually showing up and not being explained away in one line like the finale)
Like I said, I don't wanna get my hopes up because I don't quite trust Jensen. But. Given Robbie Thompson showrunning and Daneel loving Cas and Jensen dropping all these maybe-maybe-not hints. If they DID make destiel canon. I would not be surprised.
Well maybe a little bit but in an "I can't believe I was right" way.

hello! If you're still open for them- 27, 33 and 34 for the character asks? :)
I am, thank you for the ask!
1. How does your character view themselves? (Expectations, intelligence, confidence, self-belief, etc.)
While she knows that she has an above average skill in white magic, she still doesn't see herself as some great, all powerful mage. Perhaps because of her mindfulness of respecting the land and its aether she rarely ever takes more then what is needed when healing or in combat- the latter something she rarely sees on an actual high stakes level to require her to reach her limits. She knows that she is strong, but knowing how physically weak she is compared to most fighters theirs always the small voice that reminds her she'd be rather helpless in the right circumstances.
Apperance wise she sees herself as fairly average and plain- not in a bad way, but considering she wears little makeup (usually just a lipstick) and has very few pieces of jewelry or lavish clothing it's just a matter of fact to her. When it comes to intelligence however she believe herself to have a rather good knowledge. Nothing incredibly scholarly or worldy but in the fields she's required to know stuff in; she knows it well. Magical and physical healing, survivial skills, local history, hunting and tracking (mostly on those last three, amnesia is a bitch), she's confident she's more then just a novice in those areas.
However she also didn't know what a train was until about a year ago but- we all have our faults
33. What are three positive traits your character has?
Willing to give most people second chances. Nuturing and caring nature. Sticks to her values and easily resists temptations of power or evils. By extension is very loyal to those around her, which to point 1 and 3 can be a detriment (but i'll bring that up in the negative traits)
34. What are three negative traits your character has?
Easily paranoid and prone to depression, the former has caused her to seclude herself after giving birth, fearing that someone would take her son or harm him if she let him out of her sight (her husband had only died 6 or so months prior to his birth).
Sometimes too stuck in her values, she see's most if not all Black magic as a negative. This stems mostly from what she's learned as a white mage and the history of the Twelveswood/Amdapor.
You could see this as a negative or positive trait but becuse of her caring and loyal nature, combined with her willingness to give others second chances can be a detriment to her. Giving a second chance to a friend in need to who is trying to redeem themself but will only lead her into further danger; yet she does not want to just abandon them when they still need help even after she's been hurt. She's not gullible or naive- simply unable to give up on others at times.
