On the episode where Kara finds Argo and Alex has someone trying to kill her, and Alex is all like "If we don't save Sam, then I am all Ruby has left!"

Um.

Lena?

She has Lena. Has had Lena, for far longer than she's had Alex. And if Alex doesn't believe that Lena would drop EVERYTHING to take care of Ruby, then where has she been for the past two years? Or hell, the past three months? What did Lena do when Sam was suffering? She dropped everything to help her. She was the first person Ruby called when Reign left her alone at the ice rink.

Could the show please, for the love of god, stop wiping the character's memories when it comes to Lena's actions? I swear to god, it's like they pretend all of the things she's done that were motivated by kindness and empathy never happened, the moment they need to strongarm another arc into place at her expense.

#meta #dark side of the moon #cool aunt lena #just bc lena is focused on saving sam #doesnt mean she loves ruby any less #shes doing what she does best #and shes doing it for sam *and* ruby

SLIPPERY SLOPE, BROTHER. JUST WAIT AND SEE.

#spnedit #samedit #samrubyedit #sam x ruby #debunking the myth that sam was mainly concerned with saving victims of possession in s4 #i really hate how often this storyline gets flattened in either direction because it's one of my favorites #and this is mainly a fandom thing though the show does skirt around some issues #like how sam's obsession with killing lilith necessarily implies also killing the child she is possessing #there's a general unwillingness to discuss a lot of the implications here #the goal was killing demons not the exorcisms. instead of reciting it when he fails to do it with his mind he lets ruby kill the guy #even ruby is impressed with how much this boy can lie to himself #supernatural #the boy with the demon blood #you had it in you the whole time dumbo #s4 #*

S5 E1 Supernatural

I SWEAR TO GOD! They need to take shots of holy water everytime they see each other! Bring back Cristo, this is ridiculous. But Meg's back! Bobby, sadly got possessed, but he resisted cus they were gonna make him hurt one of his boys 😭😭😭 John could never. This poor Nick dude is going through it, but he is funny. 'Ok Satan 🙄 tell me to quit drinking before bed' 'if it's all the same to you I'd like to wake up now' 'why the hell would I do something like that'. Dean is the vessel for Michael. All but two Angels are massive dicks. But guess who's back to save the boys? Castiel, being a bad ass and....carving things into the boys ribs.

AHHHHH BOBBY REASSURING SAM THAT IT WAS THE DEMON THAT TOLD HIM TO LOSE HIS NUMBER 😭😭😭 CUS BOBBY BELIEVES FAMILY IS FAMILY NO MATTER WHAT AND IT DON'T END IN BLOOD. But Dean doesn't think he can trust Sam anymore cus he took a demon's side over his brothers 😭😭😭

#also megs name isnt meg are we just calling her meg out of simplicity?#also how do they know what demon is what if they get a new vessel and dont introduce themselves. sm walks in a goes MEG #how do you know that Sam? do demons give off a vibe? like `ah yes its meg again i can tell cus of the aura she has`#dean winchester #sam winchester #supernatural s5 #batcavescolony watches supernatural #batcavescolony watches #bobby singer #castiel #apparently Dean had a GED which makes sence for him.#Of course the fangirl ships wincest 🤮. if the author of my favorite book series called to tell me the series is real I feel like #I'd have a bit of decorum. Your fanfic history is between you can god #supernatural #i feel for sam he was manipulated by ruby but it must be a kick in the teeth for him to be acting like john especially when he used to be s #against john.#something something hes fathers son even though he tried so hard not to be #speaking of non dick angels.... where is anna?#spn

This chapter fought me, but I finally finished its edits and so forth. The chapter after this one will be full of lots of softness since its the date.

This chapter is from Kara and Sam's perspectives. Excerpt for Sam's portion:

Sam leaned against the wall of the elevator, her arms crossed. “So, you’re just going to sacrifice yourself, huh.” She hit the button for the ground floor, not yet ready to return to work. She felt too rattled by Andrea’s confession and that damned plan.

Andrea grimaced. “Che boluda, it puts you off the hook for guard duty.” She tugged on the collar of her jacket. An identical one to the jacket she’d given Ruby, which Sam couldn’t help but notice how her daughter refused to take the jacket off since getting it. Even wore it to bed. Ruby liked Andrea too.

“No, you are not bypassing this conversation.” Sam frowned, irritated. “I don’t want off the hook, Andrea. I want to see you safe and thriving. This is sending you right back into the Lion’s Den.”

“Si, picante, lo sé,” Andrea muttered. “It is what it is, Sam.”

Sam pushed off from the wall when it dinged open. “Come on, I need a walk, and there’s a park nearby.”

Andrea nodded and followed her through L-Corp’s atrium. Outside, the sun shown bright in the afternoon sky, the sparse cumulus clouds tinged with a hint of grey. Close to rush hour, the streets teemed with vehicles and the sidewalks full of pedestrians. Sam grasped Andrea’s hand and led her through the maze of people, across the street, and to the park three blocks west of L-corp.

She tried not to think about how well Andrea’s hand fit into her own or how she'd left her right earplug looped over her ear, so she heard the uptick in Andrea’s heartbeat over the haze of the city’s noise. Nor how Andrea both fascinated and infuriated her in equal measure.

The warmth of Andrea’s hand seeped through her senses, almost like a comforting buzz. Lately, her sense of touch had amplified, but only with those she cared about. It was odd. She needed to ask Kara about it, but hadn’t had the time.

Palm trees lined the edges of the park, the middle a wide grassland where a group of kids played soccer. Further to the west was a pond with benches and a pathway into a smaller clearing, one with little to no people. Sam led them there and promptly laid down in the grass.

Chuck: Now, as bad as he was, after all this time in prison, he's probably worse. And by now, he could have formed an alliance with Amara.

11x21

#chuck #lucifer #amara #this is what chuck assumed would happen huh #how interesting #first chuck does the ruby approach #misrepresenting amara as controlling and *making him do whatever she wanted*#in order to *commiserate* with sam over dean being *uniquely* awful #and then he reveals this HUGE insecurity re: amara and lucifer teamup #chuck sidesteps any responsibility for himself and his own actions and that's so amazing

I think...that i might be too much of a monsterfucker for supernatural.

#i keep looking at all of these monsters and going 'maybe you should grow bones.'#sam's like. canonically a monsterfucker because he had sex with a bunch of women he didn't realize were monsters plus bonus ruby.#anyway. every single angel* who isn't aping castiel's shtick vis a vis being weird and distant is bad but also. he's just not that weird or #distant. like. grow bones.#*anna and gabriel are exempt from this but anna's actress is so uhhhhh bad that she's practically doing it anyway.#f: supernatural #m: supernatural #mai memos

Happy Wincest Wednesday!

What's one headcanon (cute, sexy, or otherwise) you have about the brothers and the Impala? Time spent in or on it, or things they've done in it, Sam indulging Dean somehow with it, or (etc)?

Happy Wincest Wednesday-Thursday, Phyn! Thank you so much for the ask. <3

I have so many headcanons about Sam, Dean and the Impala. The main one is that they're both very weirdcesty about it. They don't have a sexual relationship with--or even sexual thoughts about--each other. Obviously! That would be sick and bad, and especially in Dean's case, outright wrong. It would be the polar opposite of protecting and looking out for Sam, so clearly he would *never*.

...But it's hardly Dean's fault, or Sam's, that they've both banged chicks in Baby's back seat. That's just a natural outcome of the Impala being, for all those years, their only real home. And it's hardly his fault he's proud that Sam can pull such gorgeous babes, and that maybe when Sam was in high school and first started dating, Dean helped him out a bit by handing over the keys and telling him the best make out spots and giving him advice on what songs got which kinds of girls in the mood, and maybe even making sure he knew there were always extra condoms in the glove compartment (and although Dean *certainly* never looked in the glove box the next morning to see if Sam had gotten lucky, it's not his fault he has to replenish the supply so he does kinda keep track.) If he sometimes fantasizes just a little about some of Sam's chicks later himself when he's banging one out in the shower--about what they were like for Sam, maybe sweet and faux demure, laying on the worn back seat with their clothes still on but the door open to give Sam room to get his head up under their skirt, or maybe shameless and wild, going down on Sam at the drive in, with Sam still in the driver's seat and the soundtrack to whatever movie of the week was drowning out his cut off moans--well, if he thinks about those things on occasion, that's just because he's a red-blooded American man, and Sam has excellent taste in women.

Usually.

Sam usually has excellent taste in women.

There was the Ruby thing, of course. He knows--knows for certain, though he could never prove it--that when Sam would pocket Baby's keys and sneak out to get his fix while Dean seethed and pretended to sleep, that sometimes he and that demon bitch would bang right there in the Impala's back seat. Baby would stink of sulfur the next day, and Dean would hardly be able to contain his rage. But what was he supposed to say? "Alastair warned me you weren't the pure little Sammy I imagined and you'd get with any demon whore who'd give you what you wanted, so why didn't I come down off the rack and it could be me instead"? Obviously he couldn't say that. He only even thought it sometimes because Hell had fucked him up so bad.

And there was Rachel Nave. That one Dean had assumed was on him--so much so he'd still felt guilty years later and a djinn had made it the reason dream-him and dream-Sam were estranged. But okay, while he shouldn't have stolen Sam's prom date and definitely shouldn't have given in when she insisted she blow him parked behind the school only three days after said prom, it had all worked out fine. Yeah, Sam had been angry one of Rachel's friends saw the whole damn thing, but far from pulling him and Dean apart like maybe it should have, Sam had demanded Dean drive him to school the next day and pull Baby right up front; had paraded Dean around on his arm like--well. Like *Dean* was the prize in the exchange and there was no denying Sam won.

Anyway, that's all in the past now. These days, things between him and Sam are easy. Now when he gets an eyeful of a gorgeous naked babe like that Piper chick in Baby's back seat with Sam, it's just par for the course. She's hot, Sam's, you know, objectively hot too (what're you gonna do, Dean certainly can't help that). So whatever it's all about, maybe it's not exactly normal, and maybe Sam and him are both a little fucked up, but the world has bigger problems. It's only worth dwelling on in a good way.

#wincest wednesday #somehow i got stuck in dean's POV #so i couldnt add in some relevant headcanons that only Sam would know #but Rachel of course was possessed #so when Sam went to give himself to Lucifer at the end of S5 and found out about Rachel #he also found out Dean had banged a demon in the same back seat Sam banged Ruby in #i want Dean to have found out too so he can feel deliciously guilty about being mad at Sam for doing something he unknowingly did as well #but sam would never bring it up so i cant quite fit it into the spn in my head #also though!#sam would definitely be jealous about dean boning anna down in the impala that one time #but would be unable to admit to himself exactly why #anna was so pure and radiated innocence #all the things that sam has never been and can never have #and there dean was just... being handed it all on an angelic silver platter #it would never occur to sam that if ruby reminds him of dean #(and she most certainly does!)#then anna may have reminded dean of sam #but somewhere inside him sam does suspect it's true #and maybe dean's mistaken about any similarities but it still gives sam some comfort #makes him feel warm and loved #and a little less irreparably corrupt

Literally me today

[everything here is hc btw]

So basically on my walk home today, I had a very vivid idea of Clay and Boudreaux's band. Three Day's Grace's "I Hate Everything About You" perfectly shows off my voice HC for how young Clay sounded, as well as their band's overall sound.

Other bands that also work are the Foo Fighters, Taking Back Sundays, and Sleeping With Sirens. (Yes these are all popular emo/rock bands ik)

At the time, Clay was also dyeing his mane and tail black, or atleast the small bit of hair he could call his mane. He was already a good ~5years on testerone, but his mane was taking a long while to grow in, which is why he takes such good care of it and takes a lot of pride in it now. Also he no longer dyes his mane black now, but he still does dye his tail, as a fun little memory of the past.

Oh yeah did I also mention I'm putting my trans Clay headcanon in this? Yeah.

Anyways his band "Crimson Car Fire" advertised themselves a bit as a couple of hotties. Clay was into the idea too, even though he's definitely demi. He even went far enough to wear a fishnet tank with nothing under it to most of their shows.

He was terrified at first to try this though, since had much more recently gotten top surgery. Yes, we're back to that headcanon. Anyways, he was worried because his scars would show through his fishnet tank. Luckily (mostly) everyone was supportive, so he kept sporting it!

What else he would wear is some black cargo pants, with some chains. He also had some black leather fingerless gloves of course, black leather boots, and for necklaces he had a cross necklace and a necklace of his first guitar pic from his (late) father. He still wears these to do this day.

If he's not wearing only his fishnet tank, he's always wearing some tshirt from bands he went to concerts for. He also wears these to this day, and Ash and Johnny likes to refer to them as vintage. Although correct, Clay always insists that they're not vintage! (they definitely are).

Oh yeah back to the band. Clay is the main singer and playing some bass, with Boudreux (peacock) being the main guitarist, ane Julie (finch) fronting the drums and sometimes vocals. They're actually from the Sing equivalent of New Orleans (They did move to Calatonia and play most of their shows there, though).

As you can imagine, Clay was definitely shocked to see Calatonia again when he finally went to live their again with the Moon Crew. And to think they didn't keep a single drive-in movie theatre! (Will get back that with Clay and Ruby dates.)

Speaking of Ruby, she actually met Clay through the band. Was she a fan? No, actually, she though their music was too cheesy. She was just dragged there to one of Clay's bands shows by her friend. Clay may have winked at her and Ruby may have felt that.

The real crushing began outside of the show, though. They bumped into each other and Ruby recognized him from the show. I'll go more into this later, but yeah.

Now I did mention to other band mates, Boudreux and Julie. Boudreux was a hot shot peacock who played guitar, and him and Clay met at the end of highschool. There was a lot of unresolved romantic tension between the two, although it's gone now after they split up. He was definitely jealous when Clay and Ruby started hanging out, but what reason would he have to stop them? Him and Clay were never actually a thing, just a few in-the-moment instances.

(Oh yeah incase it needed to be stated, Clay is demiromantic, demisexual, and bi. Boudreux is a demiboy and flaming homosexual, and Julie liked girl in red. She also had a partner too who always supported her and came to her shows. They were definitely a colorful cast).

Anyways eventually the band split it. Julie had to move out of state to stay with her partner, and there was a little drama between Boudreux and Clay about Ruby.

Cut back to present-day, with Clay living with Rosita back in Calatonia, Clay likes to watch Ash's concerts, since it makes him nostalgic for his band days. (Picture Clay wearing an Ash concert t-shirt btw).

At one of her concert's his eyes actually catch someone familiar among the sea of heads. The impossible, unforgettable plumage of the one and only Boudreux.

Clay catches him after the show. Boudreux is surprised to see him again and gives the big lion an even bigger hug. Despite everything, they're still best friends, and they had a lot of catching up to do. I need you to realize, this is like 30-40 years later.

Boudreaux comments on how they both seemed to have grayed, and Clay can't help but give of a hearty laugh. They apologize for the rough ending back then, and some tears are shed. Boudreux asks about Ruby. "That girl was always at your side, where she at?" Clay is stuck, unable to speak. Lion's caught his tongue.

That's when Ash finally makes it ouside to meet back up with Clay. She notices that familiar grimace, and swiftenes to ask him what's wrong, "and who's this?"

Clay, seeing her daughter, that bright shining star, he gets back together again. He introduces him as an old friend. And then he continues "Boudreux, she's gone now. I'm so sorry."

Boudreux's usual snarky front immediately softens, and he quicky replies "No, no, why are you apologing. Stop crying this isn't your fault" and he begins to tear up, too.

Also yes, Ash is just standing their confused.

After a couple of minutes of silent sobbing, conversation starts back up again.

"Y'know, did you hear about Julie?" Boudreux begins.

"Oh my god, Julie. What happened" Clay responds in a hushed, weak tone, still recovering from the news he just gave.

"She, uhm. She was found somewhere in the upper states. Sam rushed her to the hospital. She uh, passed from a heart attack, I think."

Clay begins to smile a bit, despite the news. "That Sam of her was always there for, wasn't they?" He word out through his waterworks.

"Damn right they were. Perfect couple I'd say," the peacock answers.

Another silence passes.

Ash is on the side of them furiously texting her phone. Clay and Boudreaux forgot about her, actually. Ash is texting Buster and Rosita, saying they're gonna be a while, before putting back down her phone, out of courtesy.

#hoping you dont notice boudreauxs flame motif #would write more but i actually have work lol #definitely went way longer than i anticipated #yes boudreux did get a boyfriend #many actually #not anything healthy tho #also the band trio did smoke #but after clay met ruby he stopped entirely #julie switched to a more healthy alternative (weed)#boudreux still smokes tho #incase you didnt realize #julies partner sam is nonbinary djddjdj #yes i do actually have a cause of death for ruby #and no its not illness #shes just disabled and use different mobility aids #also clay still struggles with blaming himself for rubys death #also by romantic tension earlier #i mean it #like definite romance #of course they're over that now tho #anyways enough rambling i need to get reading for work djdjsjs #clay calloway #ruby calloway #sing ash #sing boudreux #sing julie #sing oc #sing 2 #sing 2021 #mysing

The grand finale of Ruby’s long-con / The Greatest Showman

#Ruby spn #Ruby 2.0 #4x22 #Obligatory disclaimer that I haven’t actually seen this movie but I’ve heard a few of the songs here and there #But I find this song so fun to relate to Ruby and 4x22 #I don’t go to Samruby but idc if this gets tagged that way? It’s not very romantic though lol I am very much celebrating how she duped him #Anyway I have a headcanon that Ruby always wanted to be an actor and what was this if not her greatest show <3 #My posts #I actually wanted to do so many more lines of this song but I just. Could not find enough images smh #Like I wanted to include “where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king” SO very badly #Ruby is the circus king here btw #“Shouldn’t it be Sam because he’s the boy-king” oh sweetheart he is one of the clowns. There’s only one master of the ring here #Excited to drop my Ruby playlist because I have many more songs on there that I just love imagining amvs of her that I will never make to #Ace of Spades…. Mr Self-Destruct….. Devil Is Fine…. Bette Davis Eyes. Maniac from Flashdance #You’re Gonna Go Far Kid of course #If you don’t get it that’s ok it’s just that my third eye is so open #I will liken her long-con on Sam to a stage play a circus a dance etc etc any kind of performance. It does not get old to me

Only Angel by Harry Styles is such a Samruby song. In this essay I will—

#like bro just look at this shit #“getting you stuck in between my teeth And there's nothing I can do about it” which can relate to demon blood and shit #“As I went about my business through the warning signs” like bros!!!#“Told it to her brother and she told it to me That she's gonna be an angel #just you wait and see When it turns out she's a devil in between the sheets And there's nothing she can do about it”#like y’all are gonna read those lyrics and tell me that it’s not samruby core #also the lyrical chanting of “wanna die”#LIKE COME ON YALL #I see you Mr.styles 👀👀#spn #supernatural #sam winchester #samruby #ruby spn #sam x ruby

S4 E4 Supernatural

Dean finds out that Sam is using his demon powers to expell demons without killing the host. Now I understand both sides, it's not like I'm on one side, I see both. On Dean's side a literal Angel of the Lord came down to say 'talk shit into your brother or we go after him' and he found out Sam was lying to him for like a year. But on Sam's side he found out he's like the things he hunts, but he found a way to help people with the evil thing he was given. They're both going through it, they're both scared and traumatized, they both are right and wrong.

#its grey i understand why sam. is desperately trying to find some good he can do with the evil hes given. and while hes doing good we still #dont know WHY he has the powers or if using them corups the user #its possible for his powers to slowly crupt Sam over time. and it doesn't help that they grew up in a hunter family so they've been #conditioned to believe anything supernatural is evil which.... fair alot if supernatural is evil. theyve been bit enough times to be wary #so now we got dean being wary if the supernatural and he got visited by an Angel of the Lord whos told dean that Sam is going down the wron #path right after he just GOT BACK FROM HELL! And while he says he doesn't remember hes getting flashes and the bible says people that go #against god go to Hell. he blocked his time in hell but he knows it wasnt fun. overall its hurt people hurting hurt people who hurt back #sam winchester #dean winchester #ruby #and id love to take ruby at face value. shes been really helpful but her saying shes helping cus she remembers what its like to be human #or whatever her reasoning was. its just not enough for me. her being different then the other demons just doesn't seem like enough #of a reason to be this helpful to Sam. shes still a demon and while she might be a nice and helpful demon i dont see what she gets #castiel #also dean called Castiel Cass this episode #batcavescolony watches #batcavescolony watches supernatural #spn

obviously the Historical Figure Episode(TM) of Doctor Who that I’d write would of the Noted Author subset endemic to the RTD Era; it’d be called “Spiders in the Trenches” and be set in the middle of World War One ft. one Lt. John Tolkien.

idk if the main aliens are spiders or if they're just using giant robotic spiders as soldier-minions. Either way, Tolkien is a little too defensive when he says he's not afraid of spiders.

The alien invaders want some sort of shiny mcguffin, maybe as a power source for their ship? Or for a mega-weapon? We do not want them to get it, at any rate. Race to find the Shiny Power Jewel-Thing which has been lost somewhere in this like 20-mile radius of the Western Front.

When our heroes narrowly beat the spiders to the SPJT, Tolkien realizes that the spiders only ever attack at night because light hurts them somehow, so he holds the SPJT up as it flares and shouts, "Get back, foul creatures! Back into the shadows from whence you came!"

(They're from the dark side of a tidally locked planet, and made for extremely low-light conditions? The SPJT flares because it's controlled telepathically and it connected to Tolkien's mind when he touched it?)

Ideally Tolkien's first encounter with the Doctor is that he wakes up in the trench one day (after losing some men to a mysterious monster in the darkness a couple nights ago?), and there's 2 random strangers in weird clothes idly singing and playing an instrument which they stole from someone a couple bedrolls down. (This works well with Fifteen & Ruby's established inclination to music!)

We do need an Eowyn Moment, because that's iconic, but I'd split it: for dialogue, at one point the head boss evil alien boasts, "No human can defeat the Tenebrarachnid Empire!" and the Doctor replies, "Good thing they've got me, then."...

[I don't know if this is a Fifteen line yet. I know it's a very Eleven line]

...and there's a soldier in Tolkien's unit who is revealed to be secretly a woman! Who disguised herself as a man in order to enlist for ??? reasons, and who dramatically pulls off her hat to reveal her long hair.

The third notable local character is the sort who inspired Sam Gamgee, "...the English soldier, [like] the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognized as so far superior to myself.”

^those two can have a romantic subplot if it fits (comrades-in-arms is also extremely good). Tolkien, however, at some point shows Ruby the picture of his wife Edith which he carries at all times, she of the black hair and bright grey eyes, and is obviously ready to monologue about how wonderful she is.

In the same scene(?), Tolkien looks up at the stars and says their brightness shining afar, clear of all the horrors on the ground, is always a source of hope and strength to him.

Maybe also in the same scene? Tolkien is shown to make up stories for fun, or to read them in his little spare time - fairy tales and mythological epics. Maybe he tells them to the men around the fire, maybe he keeps a little notebook, maybe he just admits to daydreaming... When asked why, he paraphrases his quote from later life, " Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?"

At some point (Star-watching scene? when the Doctor inevitably has to explain that aliens exist? when they're all saying goodbye in the end?) there's a line drawing attention to the Doctor's parallels with Eärendil - eternally wandering figure of hope, sailing the stars in a ship with a light on top, not quite mortal...

Tolkien DEFINITELY tries to figure out the alien language, in writing or speech.

Something the aliens are doing is making people sick. Maybe the attacking robo-spiders are venomous, maybe there's a toxic byproduct of the alien ship, maybe it's a deliberate first assault of the planned invasion... By the end of the episode, Tolkien is very ill. The Doctor has figured out an antidote and given it, but Tolkien says goodbye to him and Ruby only to stumble to a medical outpost - from where, the Doctor explains to Ruby, he'll be sent home with this bad case of what's assumed to be trench fever. Between the fever and the brief psychic entanglement, and unentanglement, with the SPJT, he won't even remember most of this, and what he does remember, he'll put down to fever dreams amidst the horrors of war.

But he'll remember some things! He'll remember an eternal wanderer of the stars, unaging and undying and ever-hopeful, heralded by light (and a vworrrp vrorrrp noise).

Man, Fear Street always makes me emotional. The killers being remembered as monsters by everyone when they all were innocent, good people being forced to kill people—many times, their loved ones—. And we know that they at least have some level of consciousness when they do it because of Ruby Lane; she killed herself, which means that at some point she managed to snap out at least for a moment and took herself out before she could hurt someone else. Nurse Lane, who spent her life investigating and trying to get to the truth about her daughter. Ziggy, who lost her sister and spent her entire adulthood thinking it'd all been for nothing and wishing she'd stayed dead (and then at the end when Ziggy visits Nurse Lane and they both finally get their peace? Sobbing).

And most of all, Sarah's story always gets me the most. Betrayed by someone she trusted and accused and killed by people who'd known her all her life for something she didn't do and because she was a lesbian and loved another woman in 1666, and was remembered as a monster too, as the witch who cursed the town when all she ever tried was getting people to the truth. Always hurts to see her story, but it makes it all the more satisfying when she finally gets her vengeance and finally has people who know the truth about her and respect her. That "Sarah Fier, the first Shadysider" at the end and Sam and Deena kissing in broad daylight just like Sarah wanted to do with Hannah always fucking gets me too.

Like fuck.

#fear street #fear street 1666 #deena johnson #sarah fier #sam fraser #hannah miller #ruby lane #ziggy berman #cindy berman #sameena

Alex: Kara? What's wrong? You look like you're about to cry.

Kara: No, nothing. It's just... something that happened with Lena.

Alex: What did she do? Is she evil after all? Did she cheat on you? Do I need to kill her??

Kara: *sniffling* She just- she-

Alex: Woah, hey it's okay. Take a breath, then tell me what happened.

Kara: We were baking a cake for when Ruby and Sam come to visit. Everything was going great, we were having so much fun, and then I turned round and saw it...

Alex: You saw WHAT Kara???

Kara: The bowl! In the sink! Full of water!

Kara: I'd maybe have understood if she'd scraped it out herself rather than sharing it with me, but she didn't even eat it! She just... washed it up.

Alex:

Alex: ...you eat the raw cake mix?

Kara: *clutching her heart dramatically* ET TU BRUTE?!

#supercorp #kara danvers #lena luthor #alex danvers #incorrect supercorp quote #crack #Et tu Brute?#Inspired by a real thing that happened with my wife one time when I washed up a mixing bowl before she had scraped it out #she made the smallest saddest sound ever #Like all her dreams had been washed away with the batter and she would never know joy again #Needless to say I always save her the bowl now
