Okay I love thinking about all the things that cas would have had to learn as a human. Things that we've known since childhood, that now we don't even think twice about. I imagine for a good chunk of when he was human he had this 'child-like' period where he, while in the process of learning 'how to human', would use the methods that are used to teach kids because.. I mean what other methods are there. (Pretend with me that he stayed longer with the winchester bros as a human instead of getting kicked out)
In regards to using knives in the kitchen, dean and Sam had to inform him both of the claw grip to hold whatever your cutting to not lose fingers and to always cut away from yourself.
Dean saw how he was doing his teeth (eating his toothpaste help) and became concerned that he wasn't doing anything hygiene wise properly so he gave him a rundown of everything.
In the bathroom, you can often hear him quietly singing happy birthday to himself when washing his hands.
This was kinda Dean's fault, as he burps at a table all the time and home. But they were eating somewhere nicer and Cas just belched in the middle of the restaurant, through giggles and Snickers Sam and dean had to explain why that wasn't the social standard.
Cas regularly uses the 'bunny' method to tie his shoes, now that he actually has to remove them as opposed to not having to touch any of the clothes on his body ever.
He tracked mud all through the bunker one time without realising at first, when he went back into a room he had previously walked into he lifted his shoe to check and was severely disappointed in himself. (He cleaned it all up)
Cas at the beginning often forgot to eat. When he was alone he wouldn't eat until it hurt, in which he'd remember then finally eat something. He actually lost a lot of weight and when he was living with Sam and dean they had to remind him regularly and would even try and get as many snacks in between meals as possible to get his weight back up.
Similarly, he gets dehydrated a lot. Sam buys him one of those water bottles with the times of the day on the side that you have to drink up to by that time.
He was interested in learning how to ride a bike for a while but upon learning how treacherous (and painful) that learning curve was he figured he'd be okay with missing out
Cas was shocked enough with sleeping but the whole concept of not being able to choose when you woke up using pure will power annoyed him so much. He found the solution through a tv show when he saw a character waking up to an alarm.
He put a fork in the microwave.
He no longer uses the microwave.
He likes just watching people do their hobby of choice. If it's Sam and Dean usually they'll let him set in, help or participate every once and a while but if not he still enjoys just observing.
He struggled to find his own human hobbies for a long time but I imagine he's quite the Baker when he puts his mind to it
Dean likes his food spicy I imagine and considering Cas has never even had salt before he very quickly realised what a 'spice tolerance' was. Dean no longer makes group meals as spicy.

As the concrete and steel groans above Hero ominously, threatening to collapse further, they could only hope help would find them soon. The both of them.
Hero looks towards where they know Villain is in the darkness, wondering how injured they might be. As if somehow feeling their gaze, they speak up. "Y'know if I had to make a list of the worst ways I've spent a Friday night.."
They've been acting too calm about this, making occasional quips, and Hero knows with almost certainly Villain is more hurt than they're letting on.
"I don't wanna hear about what nights you think are worse than this. This is pretty damn bad! And you should be taking this more seriously."
Villain's familiar laugh echoes around them. "I have had worse, even if you don't believe it. At least this time, I have some decent company."
"Can it with the flattery. I can't even deal with you right now." Hero snaps, voice shaking with pure anger. At least that's what they tell themselves, not wanting to admit to the fear swirling in their chest.
They hear Villain shuffling around slightly, and they can't tell if they're moving closer or further away or if they're simply repositioning themselves to make whatever injuries they're lying about more comfortable.
"I take it you're mad at me?"
Hero rolls their eyes. "Of course I'm mad! You brought a whole building down! On top of me!" Their voice is raising, and they have to remember that they need to stay calm or risk bringing more rubble down.
"Hey, the building coming down was an unintended side effect," Villain protests, "and besides, I did my best to shield you from the collapse." This part was at least true, Hero can remember Villain threw themselves at them at the last moment, trying to cover Hero's body with their own. Hero doesn't know why, and the thought of this fact has their stomach twisting with an emotion they don't understand.
"Just... just save it. You're wasting whatever oxygen we have down here." The way the building fell luckily allowed a little bit of space around them, the what must be tons above them being held up by a few precarious beams and pieces of metal. Still, the space was tight, barely enough to lift their head up. They didn't want to worry about running out of air on top of everything else.
"I'm not worried about oxygen. I'm pretty sure I feel a little bit of air flow over here." Villain says casually, like they're commenting on the weather.
This gives a small spark of hope inside Hero. If there's airflow..."Where? Maybe someone could hear us from here!" Hero reaches over towards Villain's side of the confined space, searching for it. Instead, almost immediately, they feel something wet and warm.
"Villain...what is this?" Hero asks, voice dropping into something quiet and fearful of the answer. It feels thick and slightly sticky. They're afraid they already know.
"I have no idea to what you mean." Villain's voice sounds exactly how it does when they're lying. Hero feels anger rising in them again, though for a different reason this time.
"I'm serious, what is this." Hero doesn't miss the metallic smell and is becoming more serious. "You said you weren't hurt that badly!" They wanted to scream and punch things right about now.
Villain sighs. "I wasn't trying to worry you more. Besides its fine, I've-"
"I swear to god, if you say you've been hurt worse, I will kill you." Hero interrupts, voice shaking. This is becoming too much. Their head was swimming, they don't know what to do.
"Oh, I'm sure I'll have to face your wrath anyways if I do manage to make it out of here." Villain laughs, as if none of this worries them.
Hero resists the urge to shove Villain. "Don't. Stop saying 'if'. You will face my anger once we're out of here."
"Yes, yes, I'm sure I'll have to bend over backward to make this up to you. Not that I'm complaining." Hero could hear the smirk on their face even if they couldn't see it.
"Just... shut up. And keep pressure on that wound if you can. I'm going to keep calling for help."
Villain just chuckles, and Hero can feel their hand reaching for their own, as if to calm Hero.

The Bitch is back II Lucy Bronze x Reader
Tumblr media
a/n: based off this request.
"I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, oh, the bitch is back Stone-cold sober, as a matter of fact I can bitch, I can bitch 'cause I'm better than you It's the way that I move, the things that I do, oh-oh-oh."
~ Elton John, The Bitch Is Back
barcelona women masterlist I word count: 1591
You always knew that your professional tennis career would be filled with ups and downs, with periods of injuries and streaks of unbeatability.
You knew you worked hard, harder than most other competitors. So it didn’t feel fair when your lowest low came; your knockout in the Olympic Games 2020 before you had a chance to take a medal home with you. Your memory of this game was very blurry.
All you really remember of this day were the tears and your girlfriends strong arms around you. Your eyes were red and swollen from crying so much when you plainly stated; “Lucy… I failed.“
“You didn’t fail, you lost. Those are two very different things.“, she had answered while trying to wipe away some of your tears with her thumbs.
You tried to push out her hug, annoyed; “Oh, and that makes it so much better?“ But Lucy had never let go, “Yes, it does.“ “Why?“ “You will get it when you get over the pain.“
Then you remembered finally losing your tenseness and sinking deeper into her hug. New hot tears were welling in your eyes; “But it hurts so much right now… Maybe I should end it here, let the younger tennis players take over.“
“And then?“, Lucy had asked.
“I don’t know. Giving up seems like the easiest way to stop the pain…“
She had determinedly shaken her head, “You’re not done yet.“ “I need to think about it…“, was all you said because it was the last thing you wanted to talk about, you wanted to get out of the conversation as soon as possible.
You just needed her to hold you. And Lucy could feel that; “Take your time before you make that decision.“ “Alright.“
With a serious face the male tv journalist was turning to the expert who was watching the game with him: “Do you think it was the last time we saw her at the Olympics? She said she’ll think about it in her post-match interview?”
“Yes, I think that’s it for her. She’s at the peak of her career. It’s only reasonable to stop playing now.”
“Don’t worry for everyone who’s watching now we’ll keep you updated on that but for now we’re heading to swimming where the next medals want to be won.”, he continued, the smile returning to his face.
Those men thought you were done but you knew better, their sureness about you giving up only fuelled your passion to keep going and try again next time.
The gold medal was in reach, closer than ever and knowing this motivated you the upcoming years.
Something you and your girlfriend had in common was the mindset of always wanting to win.
2024 The Olympics in Paris
“Will you be watching my tennis match later, Luce?”, you asked the defender.
Of course Lucy knew how important this half final was to you, so she reassured you with her reply: “ Sure. I might be a bit late. I’m coming straight from training. But I’ll watch.”
“Thank you.”
Knowing the football player will be watching made the pressure on your chest felt a little lighter.
Shaking her head softly, Lucy said: “It*s nothing.”
“Who knows, we both might end in the Olympics final of two different sports.”, you winked through the video call with your girlfriend.
A warm laugh escaped from the defender’s lips: “Who knows. Everything’s possible at this point.”
“See you afterwards.”, you told her after looking at the time.
A huge grin was appearing on the Barcelona player’s face as she answered:“ See you.”
While you were warming up for your match, your girlfriend was just ending her training session with her team. She took a quick shower and started to get dressed. With a glance towards the clock in their dressing room, Leah reminded her; “Luce, you got to hurry up to see your girl play the match of her career!“ “Yeah, I know.“, Lucy replied calmly, slipping into her shoes. Millie watched her in disbelief; “Then what are you waiting for?“ “Yeah, I’m basically running.“, she laughed and grabbed her bag. Before she could leave the dressing room, Jordan kept up with her; “Wait, we’re coming with you to support your girlfriend.“ “Alright, but we have to hurry now.“ Lauren James nodded obediently; “Let’s go!“
Your match was just starting when the football players reached their seats. After the first serves, Leah bent over to Lucy; “She will win it this time, Lucy.“ “You don’t know that yet.“, she shook her head, never taking her eyes off you.
Lucy watched most of your match in silence. She was too tense, hoping and wishing that this game will end in your favour and that all the hard work will finally pay off.
Again, it was Leah who spoke as soon as the last ball hit your opponents side of the court, sealing your win. “I told you so!“, she yelled at Lucy, genuinely happy. Clapping and cheering erupted from the football players.
The excitement that Lucy felt deep in her chest for you, didn’t reach her face yet, so she just stood up to leave her seat; “Excuse me, girls.“
When you saw her standing there, right between your dressing room and the court, you couldn’t stop yourself from running into her arms; “Lucy!“ “You made it!“, she finally smiled. Now that she had realized what just happened, her face could barely contain her pride and happiness.
“Yes, and you were right, I’m not done yet.”, you whispered excitedly into her ear.
Beaming the defender stroke one wild string of your hair back: “I know you! I knew there was more to come for you.”
“I’d never have been here on the way to the final if you, my coach and family did not believe in me.”, you confessed, heart still pounding loudly in your ear.
Determined Lucy shook her head: “No. This is your win.”
You knew you were required to answer some questions, so you quickly kissed your girlfriend goodbye for now before heading to your media duties: “Sorry, I got to go and give a few interviews.”
The football player knew this all too well because she was an professional athlete aswell, that’s why she released you from your hug even though Lucy would have preferred to hold you a little longer: “I’ll meet you afterwards.”
Confidently you faced the press: “Well you did not see the last of me and you all were so convinced I’d never come back but here I’m.”
“I guess we were wrong about that.”, one journalist shouted back.
A bit less cocky you announced: “So I’m ready to answer you guys’ question.”
“How does it feel?”, a female reporter asked.
Your eyes looked dreamy while you replied: “It feels amazing. I always dreamed of being in the Olympics final and I still can’t believe that this dream is coming true.”
“You’ve been waiting for this for four years now. Your opponent was the favourite in these Olympics. Does it make this win even better?”
You waited a moment to gather your thoughts before you told the journalist: “It kind of does, especially because she’s currently the number one in the world and I really admire her talent. So yes, it makes this win taste even better. And the fact that my loved ones were here to watch this means the world to me.”  
“We saw a few of the lioness’s watch. Including your girlfriend. She must be very proud.”, one of them remarked, with a mischievous smile on her lips.
“Yes, I think Lucy is quite proud. Actually, she’s very impatiently waiting behind the cameras for me to be done so we can celebrate my win together.”
For a moment you could see your girlfriend grinning about the comment you made in front of the press, Lucy was not known for her patience.
The journalist opposite you couldn’t contain a smile; “In that case, we won’t keep you any longer. Congratulations on that win again and best of luck to the lionesses for their game tomorrow as well.“ “Oh, don’t worry. Lucy will do anything to win the upcoming games with her teammates. Good night to you all. See you after the final. Hopefully smiling again.“
With a confident smile, you left your place in front of the press and were immediately greeted by Lucys hug. She carefully kissed the top of your head with as grin; “Hey.“
“Hey.“, you smiled back.
Clearly amused, she raised her eyebrows; “Advertising for our game after your own win?“
“Of course. And I’ll be there cheering for you girls in the stands too.“, you laughed. “That’s real sportsmanship.“ You nodded; “As it should be! Girls support girls.“ “What about girlfriends supporting girlfriends?“, Lucy asked with a smirk on her lips.
For a second you grimaced, “I guess they know that you’re my girlfriend now… Hope you don’t mind that.“ You could feel your cheeks flush, but Lucy calmly shook her head; “I don’t. We never made it a secret anyway. And now I can do that.“ Before you knew what she was talking about, she pulled you closer and passionately pressed her lips on yours.
You laughed into the kiss; “You could not wait for this, huh?“ “No.“ “Lucky for you, me neither.“ Lucy took that as a signal to take your hand and nod in the direction of the exit; “Want to leave? And celebrate your win?“ “Yes, please.“, you replied as you let her drag you along. “Let’s go then.“

The Best Kind Of Danger
Part 3
Tag list: @bngurngheart, @blackveilomens, @myownthoughts12, @vinyardmauro, @iknownothingpeople, @lilylovesdew @sprokat @lma1986
**If you want to be added to the tag list let me know**
Part 4
It wasn't supposed to be this complicated. Her feelings were simple; she'd fallen for him, and it was the end of her heart. Now it was time to decide what to do, whether it be leaving things how they were or pushing through her emotions and fighting every rational reason that telling him everything would be wrong. What she was feeling was more than just a crush. It was more than an infatuation. Was it love? Maybe. But she would never know unless she braved her fears and made a decision.
The water in this thing was hotter than Cassie expected, but damn did it feel good on her back; especially the jets. They pushed the muscle and moved the skin, alleviating discomfort she didn't realize she had. Closing her eyes, Cassie laid back, resting her head against the side of the hot tub, and allowed herself to relax and let go of all of the stress and anxiety that the current tour had brought her. Jolly was right; the hot tubs were amazing. 
The sudden outburst of voices grew louder, disrupting Cassie's thoughts, and her eyes grew wide as she sat upright, realizing there was no way out of this. She was going to have some explaining to do.
"Well, shit, look what we have here!" Jolly exclaimed, being the first one to walk outside. 
Folio pushed his way through Matt and Noah and his mouth fell open at the scene before him. Cassie was deep within the water of the one thing she said she didn't do, hands over her face, covering her embarrassment. He immediately forgot about what happened last night, how Noah walked up on their private moment and she ran off, humiliated and awkward, spending the rest of the night and the whole day alone. But just the sight of her, skin moist with the hot water surrounding her made the muscles in his chest tighten and his heart began to race at an ungodly rate. The sudden constriction in his jeans made him lightheaded.
"If I do recall," Jolly teased, coming over to the hot tub and peering down at Cassie, "someone told me they don't do hot tubs or swim suites." His whole face lit up, showing off his charming Swedish smile that Cassie found impossible not to return. 
"Well, I," her face turning crimson.
"I didn't think you even owned a swimsuit."
"I didn't." 
"Wait, does that mean you're naked under the water?" 
Nicholas cocked an eyebrow and stared at her mischievously through those pale green eyes of his that always made Cassie a little breathless. He leaned down and crossed his arms over the edge of the hot tub.
Cassie giggled.
"Only in your dreams, Ruffilo." 
He grinned at her and tapped her cheek with his finger. 
"I'm not naked, either, you dork; see?" tugging on the red strings tied around her neck. "I found a store at the bottom of the hill that sells emergency stuff, like swimsuits.
"Damn, and here I was hoping you were naked."
Cassie's mouth fell open as she stared blankly at Jolly.
"I'm teasing you, Cas, relax."
"Mind if I join you," Nicholas asked sweetly.
Cassie shook her head. "Be my guest."
"Me too?" Jolly wiggled his eyebrows, making Cassie laugh out loud. 
"Sure!" 
Nick and Jolly took off back inside to grab their swim trunks while Noah and Matt started setting up a few things for their rest and relaxation time off.
Folio couldn't take his eyes off Cassie. He was drawn to her, mesmerized by the sight of her skin and how the light made it shimmer. The idea that those strings tied around her slim neck were the only things keeping her breasts covered left so much for his imagination to play with and it hardened his dick to the point of having to readjust. He felt a bit confused, his thoughts all running together causing him to lose focus on everything around him. 
He never wanted anything so badly as he wanted her. But the fact that she wasn't even looking at him was driving him crazy, and he knew it was because of her shyness. Her insecurities were drowning out her confidence.
Cassie's heart was about to beat out of her chest because of how nervous she was. Her insides quivered, trying her hardest to suppress the nauseous feeling rapidly growing by the second. But as soon as her eyes wandered over to Folio coming over to her, all of it vanished. 
Standing over her, Folio grinned, admiring the way she looked up at him. The feeling pulsating through his body wasn't going to let up until it got what it wanted, and getting that wasn't going to be easy.
"What's this about? I thought you didn't like this stuff?" 
The way he looked at her like he wanted something from her, weakened every defense Cassie had promised herself she'd keep up no matter what, and if the night continued with this much tension between them, she was bound to give in to whatever he wanted from her, no matter the cost.  
Folio's jaw tightened, his mouth set in a hard line watching her swallow, as he thought of her in that same position, but for a different reason.
He was completely fucked. 
"Yeah, I did too," was all she said. Squatting down he stared at the beautiful face before him, taking in each little piece of her that he loved. Her forest green eyes, the freckles that danced over her nose and cheekbones, the curve of her lips; he loved every part. Then his eyes slipped lower, skimming the outline of her neck and the red strings around it, envisioning his lips gliding over the pale skin, leaving behind traces of his hunger for her. The battle attacking his senses was getting stronger and he was getting weaker; willing weaker. 
"Hey, are you okay?" 
Cassie shook her wet hand, ridding it of as much water as she could, before gently placing it on Folio's cheek. He leaned into it and kissed her palm, heating the arousal that had been growing in her core since he walked through the door.
Folio shook his head. 
"No, I'm not."
"What's wrong?"
Folio gave a breathy laugh, his mouth curving into a nervous smile.
"You're so fucking hot, that's what's wrong."
His confession was unexpected, utterly shocking Cassie and she knew her face said it. 
"Oh."
"Oh?"
Cassie snickered, lowering her head.
"You know I don't take compliments well, Nick."
"Yeah, I know, but maybe you should. Have you looked at yourself lately?"
"I try not to."
Nick frowned. He needed her to know what she was doing to him.
"Would it make you feel better if you knew how hard you were making me right now; that's how beautiful you are."
That was it; Cassie was done for. Nick had her right where he wanted her. But knowing she was keeping something from him made her countenance fall, taking with it her confidence.
Nick noticed.
"What?" 
Cassie shook her head. 
"Hey, look at me," reaching over and taking her chin between his finger and thumb, tracing her lips. 
"I'm sorry about earlier." 
"That's okay. It wasn't your fault. I'm sorry I ran off like I did. I was just embarrassed Noah caught us."
Folio chuckled. "Caught us? What are we, teenagers?
Cassie laughed, dropping her head as her shoulders shook.
He couldn't resist the urge to touch her, laying his hand on her warm, wet skin, feeling that same electric feeling that came every time they touched. It pulsed through him like lightning, and from the sparkle in Cassie's eyes, she felt it too.
"You should get in." Cassie's eyes beckoned him to her.
"I should've just fucking kissed you," Folio admitted, no longer caring who heard.
Cassie's face brightened. Her stomach fluttered and before she could talk herself out of it, she leaned over and placed her lips on Nick.
They felt it everywhere. The kiss was so hot, so deep that they didn't even want to come up for air. Every feeling, every sense, every nerve and muscle exploded inside both of them as they pulled one another into the kiss, letting their lips freely dance together.
A wildfire burned through her bones and for the first time, Cassie felt like every part of her that was dead came alive again; like this was the piece she'd been missing the whole time.
Folio didn't know what to do, except take her face in his hands and kiss her like he'd forgotten any other mouth but hers. It was slow and sweet, like the best kind of chocolate he'd ever tasted,  
Cassie pulled back, letting her lips hover over Nick's, feeling his warm breath, longing for more. It didn't last long before Folio reached out and pulled her back in, this time sliding his tongue through her lips, making a soft little moan slip past her lips. He felt the pre-cum from his swollen cock soak his briefs as he tried to hold on to his composure before he lost it. 
They were silent when they parted, eyes closed and foreheads pressed together. Cassie's lips were pressed in a tight line as if she was fighting against some invisible force.
"What the fuck, Cassie," Folio said, breathlessly. "Where did that come from?"
Their eyes opened and they looked at one another like it was the first time. Nick brushed the damp hair out her face, tucking it gently behind her ear, before caressing her cheek gently. 
Cassie covered her mouth. 
"Wow, I'm,"
Nick pulled her hand from her mouth and pecked her lips again.
"Don't you fucking dare," he commanded with a grin.
She held him in such an entrancing stare, that they didn't hear what was going on around them. 
"Holy fuck you two, get a room!" 
Matt's laughter bounced around the outdoor room, creating a playful environment compared to the tension-filled one moments ago.
"Whoa, what did we just walk into," Jolly joked. 
"It's about fucking time. If I had to hear you complain about your feelings for Cassie one more time, I was going suffocate you."
Nicholas lowered himself into the hot water, seething through his teeth.
"Shit, this is hot!"
"Yeah, dumb-ass, that's why it's called a hot tub."
Noah bopped Ruffilo on the back of the head, laughing.
He looked over at Folio and Cassie, happy to see them working out their complications.
"You both good?"
Nick looked down at Cassie who was laying her head on his hands.
"Yeah, we're good," he answered with a grin. 
"Good, then let's get this party fucking started! Five whole days off baby!"
Folio chuckled, kissing the top of Cassie's head.
"Are you getting in here?" 
"Do you want me to get in?"
Cassie raised her eyebrow.
"Okay, yes, shit woman." 
He leaned in and kissed her forehead. 
"I'll get in." 
Cassie giggled. He loved hearing her giggle. It was cute.
Gripping his shirt, she pulled him in for another kiss, feeling him smile beneath it.
"Damn, I could really get used to that."
"Oh, you could, huh?"
"Yeah, I could; I want to," Nick confessed, placing a soft kiss on her cheek. Heat pooled at the bottom of Cassie's lower back, spreading under her skin, and burning through her center so quickly it felt like her nerves were on fire. 
"Go find your swim trunks before you make me regret what just happened."
Folio's eyes widened as he jumped up, reluctantly leaving Cassie behind.
_________________________________________
She lay in the crook of his arm, irregularly close to him, feeling every movement of his muscles. The warmth and dampness of his skin against hers helped ease her trembling body. It brought her peace. And that peace brought a certain kind of rush the moment Folio wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, hand gripping her hip and kneading her skin, that calmed him. It was different from all the times before. 
"You're thinking too much. You need to relax," Folio whispered in her ear, placing a soft kiss on her temple.
"What do you mean?"
"You're tense; I can feel it."
Cassie pulled away.
"No, I'm not. I'm fine."
Folio scowled, brows coming together and forming that same line she would see him get when trying to set up his drum kit and something wasn't going his way.
"Okay, maybe a little."
Folio leaned forward, pulling Cassie back into him, kissing her softly.
"I fucking love the way your lips feel," he said, grinning.
She giggled.
"How many rum and cokes have you had exactly," tasting the mixture of the liquor and soda from his lips on her own.
"I don't think it's how many, I think it's how much liquor Matt's put in each one he's given me."
Folio kissed Cassie's forehead.
"Oh shit dude, I don't know. I stopped measuring before the last three I gave you."
Cassie turned around to face Matt, eyes narrowing as she watched his eyes dance with mischief.
"I'm kidding; maybe," shrugging his shoulders, handing her and Folio another full cup
"Are you trying to get me drunk?" Cassie eyed Matt skeptically.
"Maybe. Is it working?"
"Not yet, but this guy on the other hand might be well on his way."
"Nah, I'm not drunk; at least not on alcohol."
A nervous laugh fell from Cassie's lips as she draped her arm around Nick's shoulders, kissing his cheek, then subtly dragging her lips over his clenched jawline.
"Now who needs to relax," she whispered in his ear.
He turned his head, lips almost meeting hers, and returned her embrace by locking his arms around her waist again.
"What?"
"Nothing. You're just really hot and I love looking at you."
His arms tightened around her when he felt her hand slide down the front of him, stopping right between the head and claw of the giant eagle covering his chest. It wasn't enough for him to just have her skin on him. He needed more. He needed her fire burning through his hardened body.
---------------------------------------------------
Hours later, Folio had Cassie pinned against the wall of the hot tub, lips and tongue gliding over her skin, tasting the subtle hints of chlorine as the sound of her soft whimpers roused him to continue.
He had one hand gripping her wrist, holding it against the side of the tub while the other caressed her neck, slipping just behind her head. Cassie grabbed his shoulder with her free hand and dug her nails into the surface of his tanned skin, making a deep, feral growl rise out of his chest.
Below the water, Folio wedged his knee between her legs, spreading them, and gradually applied enough pressure to her center, that Cassie moaned, squirming just enough so he hit the right spot. Moaning, she quickly throwing her hand over her mouth. 
Folio raised his eyebrows.
“I like that sound, I want to hear it again,” challenging her as he removed her hand from her mouth. .
With one quick tug, he pulled her bottom half into his hardness and Cassie grunted, whimpering another moan the moment her throbbing wetness collided with Nick's swollen cock, the length of it rubbing hard against her sensitive folds. It made her weak .
"Oh fuck," Folio mumbled against her neck, as he peppered her skin with more kisses, "that sound is going to get us both in trouble."
Cassie whimpered.
From the way his fingers danced over the center of her palms, calling to life every fiber of her bones, and the movement of his hardness pushed in between her legs, Cassie was a fully open book. She was vulnerable, holding nothing back from him now and willing to give him whatever he wanted.
"Do you want me to stop," he whispered against her lips. He could feel the trembling of her body beneath his hands.
"No, no, don't stop, please."
Folio grunted,desperate for some kind of release. His cock was so tight against her sex, almost to the point of entry.
"It's probably a good thing neither one of us decided to get in here without clothes on because the fabric between us is the only thing stopping me from slamming into you right now."
Cassie whimpered again, her stomach tightening.
"Is that dunk Folio talking, or sober Folio?"
Nick pulled back, pausing to look at Cassie. He stared at her, noticing for the first time the hesitation gracing her face, and the uncertainty filling her eyes.
"I'm intoxicated, yes," rubbing her cheek with his hand, "but I'm not drunk to where I'm saying things I don't mean.”
Taking a minute to slow down, he realized things were moving a little too fast and Cassie was probably feeling overwhelmed.
"Is that what you think I'm doing?"
"No," she answered quickly.
"Then what's wrong? And don't say nothing because your face is telling me different."
Cassie took a deep breath, swallowing hard, knowing this was it; the moment where she had to be truthful.
"Talk to me, Cassie. You don't have to find the perfect words, just tell me what you're feeling. I'm listening."
"Okay," she sighed," well, I," shit, this was too hard. She thought she could do it, but now it seemed impossible. Cassie hugged herself as a heavy chill swept over her body and made her shake.
"How many girls have you slept with?"
Folio huffed out a small laugh. "What? What does that,"
"Just answer me, Nick, please."
He scowled, feeling a little uncomfortable at having to share his sex life so bluntly.
"Do you mean total, or within the last few years?" he asked, lifting his shoulders slightly.
"Like, total. More than thirty?"
"Ha! Fuck no."
"Less than twenty?"
"Yeah."
"More than ten?"
"I don't remember, Cassie what the fuck does this have to do,"
"I'm a virgin, Nick." There. She said it.
He froze, not sure if he heard her right.
"You’re what?"
Cassie was crying now and her hands shook as she brought them to her face to wipe the tears away.
"I'm a virgin. I've never had sex before."
Folio’s eyes grew wide. "Yeah, I know what a virgin is," nodding his head.
Cassie moved away from him, suddenly feeling very insecure about herself and the situation. Now that the truth was out, all she had to do was wait for the letdown that she was certain was coming.
"I'm sorry everything led to this, Nick. I really didn't mean for it to."
Her apology hit Folio hard like a punch to the gut he didn't expect.
"I thought that when I kissed you and you figured out how I felt about you, things would go slow, but then this happened."
Her emotions were getting the best of her now and whether it was the rum or her hormones it didn't matter. Honesty was dying to escape the prison she had kept it in for so long.
"You're in my head day and night, even when you're not supposed to be, filling every corner of it and making me feel things I never felt before. I’m sorry I couldn't stop myself, but you're like a drug, Nick; a drug that I crave every single second of every single day, and no matter how much of you I get I still need more. I crave you in ways where I just want to be next to you; nothing more. Shit, I never even thought about losing my virginity like I have the past few months. Before it was no big deal, the right guy would come in time, but with you," she paused, finally looking at him.
Folio remained silent. He couldn't find the right words to say, so he just stood there, looking at her, watching her fall apart right in front of him.
"Nick, with you, I can’t get past the fact that you're the only one I want to give myself to. I can't see any other guy; just you. I don't want another man's touch replacing yours, or another's presence filling your void. I just want you; all of you."
The silence was thick now that the jets in the hot tub had shut off. The water was still warm, but Folio could see the goosebumps spreading across Cassie's skin. He moved slowly across the water to her, never touching her, just standing before her, so close that their bodies were almost touching. He could feel what little warmth escaped her, but the slight chattering of her teeth told him she needed his warmth.
"Look at me."
He slid a finger under Cassie's chin and raised her face, interlocking their fingers as soon as his hand found hers.
"You really have no fucking idea how much I want you, do you?"
Cassie shook her head slowly.
"You have no reason to apologize to me, Cassie. I think it's pretty clear we both feel the same way about each other. I don't think we'd be in this situation right now if we didn't."
Cassie breathlessly laughed. Nick cupped her face between his calloused drummer hands and softly kissed her, very slowly, wanting to take in just how good her lips felt against his.
"I've never been kissed like the way you kiss me."
"I don't understand why."
"I'm too picky."
Nick could certainly agree with that.
"Have you never made out with a guy before?"
Cassie blushed.
"Yes! I've done that, I just, I don't know," shrugging her shoulders, "the idea of letting just any guy inside me always freaked me out, so I didn't."
"Am I just any guy?"
Cassie shook her head.
"No, you're not Nick, that's what I'm trying to tell you."
She was about to push him over the edge and before the tension could snap, Nick did the only thing he felt he had left to do. He got out of the hot tube and walked off, leaving her to wonder what was going to happen next.

Dean isn’t used to the bunker being so quiet. He’s used to the sounds of Jack just ambling about, and not-so-secretly snacking on cookie-crunch cereal during the dead of night when he thinks everyone is asleep. He’s used to Cas walking around the library, picking out a random book to read. He’s used to his angel randomly going out and returning with little snacks he thinks that Sam or Jack or Dean would like. He isn’t used to not listening for those two.
Dean also isn’t used to the getting to sit still stuff. He never really had the chance to sit still and just breath and exist, not for the past 15 odd years. He isn’t used to being so alone with his thoughts, so he starts busying himself in repairs for the bunker; re-shining the linoleum or the floorboards in the library, tightening the legs on the tables, going after the faulty a/c unit. Hell, he even started picking out books to read.
Dean isn’t used to not constantly researching and seeking out cases. Since Jack became god, he took a stance on figuring out all the monster-y things and sorting away almost everything that goes bump in the night. He tries to ignore how his fingers itch to pull out his phone and look on the news for any weird deaths or out-of-place ghost sightings. There ain’t much, except for Harry and Ed, who never stopped their amature ghost hunting show.
He’s just.. a little lost, is all. But after some time, he starts getting in the kitchen more, testing out recipes from books that have been in the bunker since probably the dawn of time. He starts watching baking and cooking videos on YouTube and trying it out. Last week he perfected his apple-pie.
He makes Sam his healthy omelettes in the mornings, and some bacon for himself. He prays to Jack regularly, reminds the kid not to burn himself out, to give himself the opportunity to be a kid. He deserves it. He knows he didn’t treat Jack the best, but he’s trying to make up for it. He thinks he’s making Cas proud.
Eileen hangs around sometimes, and he gets to watch Sam act like a little kid again when he’s around her. He takes up sign-language, even if he doesn’t learn as fast as Sam and he can’t fully understand what they’re saying, he’s still learning. And before he knows it, he’s pretty fluent and can hold a good conversation.
There’s days where it feels like he still hasn’t made any progress. Days that normally start with Cas being the first thing in his head when he wakes up, then he wallows in bed until he feels like his bladder may explode, them maybe he takes a shower and drinks a little, or goes out in a ride for baby and pulls off on a backroad to sleep in the backseat. But he’s starting to have less and less days like that. The pang of all of his losses start to feel a little lighter.
He visits Donna and Jody quite a bit, joins them for dinner. Alex recently got bumped up in her nursing job, Kaia and Clair are going steady and just rented a cute little house a few blocks away. Jody starts talking retirement, at which point Clair or Dean normally tell her that she’s too young to retire. Turns out she’s not, and that Jody’s 401k really payed off, because her and Donna just took their first around-the-world vacation.
Sam and Eileen just moved out, bought a cute little house up in the hills. Sam keeps going on and on about his garden, and Dean imagines it as solely rows, and rows, and rows, and even more rows of kale. The two lovebirds keep telling Dean to move out of the bunker. (“It’s too big, man.” “No it isn’t, Sammy.”)
Dean does move out of the bunker. He gets a cute house with a lot of acreage, and Miracle tired him out after hours of fetch nearly everyday. And, when Miracle sends him on a wild goose-chase though the woods, he finds an amazing little spring where he ends up swimming from time-to-time.
Jack visits regularly, and he and Dean host family dinners made of up damn near everyone he’s ever known who is close enough. Charlie gloats about this amazing website she’s curated, and how she doesn’t have to keep using the money she got from Dick’s enterprise, because she’s making enough as is. He gets to witness Jack and Clair arguing over Uno while Kaia and Patience try to keep the peace, and he gets to enjoy Sam and Eileen talking about how they’re trying for kids (which he point blank tries to keep out of his head, if he can help it, but they won’t shut up about it)
And, soon enough, Dean realizes he’s doing good. And, eventually, he has two nieces and a nephew, he’s keeping bee’s like an old man because they remind him of Cas. And, when his time comes, he goes willingly. He knows that his family understands he lived good. Made up for the years he wasted. And he sees Cas again, and Bobby. John and Mary are happy, and he hangs out a lot with them. His moms pies are still the best he’s ever eaten, and his dad, even if he doesn’t like to admit it, makes a mean burger and and even better steak.
He rests easy. He’s with his angel, and they have their own home, and Jack visits almost everyday now. They made a room for him— well, it had always been there, but still.. they decorated it better (Dean’s own opinion, obviously.)(He filled the room with Starwars stuff.) Deans happy. Donna and Jody follow soon, as well as Sam, and Eileen follows after that. Everyone’s happy. There’s no more big-bads, no more corrupt gods, no hurt. He’s content.

SPN Season 14 Recs
Season 14, the season that had so much potential. As I am in an SPN mood, I'm going to recommend some season 14 fics that I love! Links are in the titles of the fics. Fics are from both Ao3 and FF.
I also added my fics because while I do have a masterlist in my pinned post if anyone is looking for a specific season, they can look here.
More fics may be added later on.
Tumblr media
The Bringer of War by MadisonTheGeek
Summary:
"Now that the archangel Michael has made it to a new world and taken possession of Dean Winchester, he can begin to put his plans in motion for a new world order. Meanwhile, the rest of the Winchester group search restlessly for the missing Dean and slowly being to unravel Michael's plans."
Not All Good News by trevelies
Summary:
"Michael is caged inside Dean's mind for now. But there's grace leaking from the cracks, banging on the doors, and Dean knows what happens at the end of this story. With borrowed (and confusing) Archangel abilities, a group of mistrustful Apocalypse Universe Hunters, and too many Michael Monsters to deal with, Team Free Will 2.0 is ready to clean up the mess that Michael's left behind and stop another apocalypse. Not all the danger is locked inside a bar's walk-in freezer, though - and the Winchesters need to watch out for old and new enemies around every corner.
And at the end of it all, Dean needs to decide how far he'll go to get rid of Michael once and for all."
Gonna Leave a Scar by trevelies
Summary:
"Michael repossesses Dean in Kansas City, and Team Free Will 2.0 isn't exactly on board. It doesn't matter that their only weapon and chance at defeating Michael is currently broken into pieces - family never gets left behind. And that goes double for Winchesters. Sam does a deep dive into Dean's head because he's not letting Dean disappear on his watch, even if it means facing an Archangel on his own turf."
All On You by trevelies
Summary:
"The Spear" speculation. Dean's vision is swimming - literally. But Team Free Will 2.0 has much bigger problems. The angels have finally located Michael, and the Winchesters have Kaia's Spear, an angel and a half, and about three weeks of bad memories to take out on Michael's feathery ass."
The Abyss Gazes Back by Water_of_life
Summary:
"Dean was able to convince Sam to go along with his plan of locking Michael (and Dean) away in the ma'lak box and dumping it in the Pacific Ocean. Sam gave in to Dean then, but he never gave up searching for another way to save Dean and the rest of the world from Michael. Now that a group of deep sea researchers have stumbled upon the box, Sam is about to find out if he put the reprieve to good use, and if they are all ready to face what is coming."
Omission, Lies, and False Truths by GalaxyThreads, SpiritClusters
Summary:
"In the wake of Lucifer's death, with Dean missing, Sam falling apart, and Cas struggling to keep everyone together, Jack realizes there are a lot of things he doesn't know about the Winchesters and Cas. Things he should know. Things he's going to fight to learn."
10 Years Gone by cayuga
Summary:
"What if Nick had kidnapped Mary before she'd gone into Donna's workshop and saw the Ma'lak box in Damaged Goods? What might have happened if Dean had managed to go through with his trip to the bottom of the Pacific without telling Sam."
the lies I tell myself by randomfills (spnfanatic)
Summary:
"Alt. take on season 14, episode “Nihilism”. Sam and Cas have a plan to bring Dean, literally, out of his head, but Michael is ready for them and once they enter Dean’s mind, they quickly realize they’re in Michael’s playground and Dean has been hiding things...things that even Sam didn’t know. (mentions of abuse, flashbacks)."
The Room by Fantasticly_Anonymous
Summary:
"Sam learns what it is that Dean’s been doing up at Donna’s cabin and he doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like it enough that he thinks up his own solution to their little Michael problem. A bit of a bottle episode, a ‘What If?’ scenario, and a character exploration between the different members of Team Free Will and the archangel thorn in Dean’s mind. In which, nobody, not even the entire world, needs to die."
Rather be the hunter than the prey by vrskaandrea (MalicMalic)
Summary:
"The story takes place in S14E15 Peace of Mind , only instead of Dean, Cas is the one to take Jack to Donatello to try and find out if he still has his soul. Sam and Dean take on a simple salt and burn where they meet up with Ketch. Upon their return, they are welcomed by a sight that has Sam experiencing Deja vu. Forgotten plotlines."
Match made in Heaven by vrskaandrea (MalicMalic)
Summary:
"Two people the world forgot about find each other by accident. Their love is so strong, so powerful when they run into an army of monsters, this unlikely couple ends up being a bigger threat their leader ever anticipated. Michael just couldn't let something as powerful slip thought his fingers and he will end up biting off more then he could chew. Set during season 14"
Roles Reversed by vrskaandrea (MalicMalic)
Summary:
"What if when Dean got hit in the head and the doors of Michael's cage opened, something happened that made them reverse their roles? That made Dean an archangel who could just snap his fingers and instantly kill demons? That made Michael nothing but a pitiful soul that kept drowning in his own nightmares? Come and see."
It's all in the blood by Becciehill1976
Summary:
"Faced with recurring fears about Michael returning as well as trying to fit back in to life in a busy bunker, Dean needs time away from everyone, so he can get his confidence back and find his place in the world Sadly, being a famous hunter has it’s draw back as Dean finds out the hard way when kidnapped whilst on a hunt. From there, Dean gets to find out that there are worse things than being the Archangel Michael’s vessel, as he battles powerful vampires. Will he be able to escape his new prison or will his family find him in time?"
One of a kind by MalicMalic
Summary:
"Someone told me that someone told them there aren't enough of Michael/Dean fics out there. Let's change that. While we're at it, why not add another Michael to the mix and see what happens."
Passenger by moonlightsdean
Summary:
"With Michael having escaped Dean's mind and caused destruction in the bunker, Jack took the initiative to end things once and for all with Michael. Now with Michael dead and Dean freed of having Michael trapped within his mind, he'll be able to relax and have time to deal with the aftermath of what happened with the AU hunters. But what if Michael's relinquish from Dean's mind wasn't as clear cut as it was made out to be? When things start going awry for Dean he's left to wonder what really happened during the time he was unconscious, and why he just can't catch a break."
The Price You Pay by Jadeys_World
Summary:
"It was a miracle that Sam survived taking on the Archangel Michael. Team Free Will is going to find out what it takes for a miracle like that to happen and what it costs when a Reaper and unreliable Rogue Angel each decide to help in their own way. There are secrets and betrayals, a world that needs saving once again, but at least they have each other."
An Alternative Ending by AnotherWriterWhoWrites
Summary:
"Michael isn't sure how long he's been in the cage, time is meaningless to him. But as his sanity slips further and further away, resentment to his father sets in. And once Lucifer takes Sam and Jack away a desperate Dean is more than willing to let what should've happened years ago, to happen now."
Of All The Burdens I Must Bear... by Jadeys_World
Summary:
"Chuck constructs the perfect punishment for Sam after the events of Moriah. Lucifer is given a new life to make amends for the burden his father placed on him when they defeated The Darkness. Sam is adrift and alone in his new life, left to find a new strength to cope without his new reality as the enemy."
At What Cost by Jadeys_World
Summary:
"Mary is gone, taken beyond any Winchester deal or pleading, but there's one option left to them. They can get her back, but it will come at a price, a price that might be too much for Dean to pay. A story of family, betrayal and the things you will do for the people you love."

"In which Sam is the one with Jack at S14E17 Game Night and as a result, a different person dies."
Testing by AnotherWriterWhoWrites
Summary:
"Mary takes a pregnancy test. Post Episode 13 Lebanon."
Peace When You're Done by kittenofdoomage
Summary:
"Dean puts himself in the box in S14 when there’s no other way to defeat Michael. Canon divergent from the end of “Ouroboros”."
Dean in the Box by Secretwrittenword
Summary:
"The box came to a rest on the deepest floor of the ocean. The pressure pushing down on it caused the structure to creak and groan... Set in Season 14, with no other option, Dean seals himself into the Malák box and sinks to the furtherest depths of the ocean. Once there he has nothing but time to kill and an Archangel to annoy."
Dog Dean Afternoon by Secretwrittenword
Summary:
"Sam and Cas go on a hunt leaving Dean and Jack alone in the bunker to recuperate. After going for a walk Jack finds something that just might be the key to help Dean recover from his ordeal with Michael."
Escape of the Archangel by themodernteen
Summary:
"Adaptation of the 14x14 episode "Ouroboros" when Dean is unconscious after getting his head slammed into the wall by the demigod. My own interpretation of the episode, what goes through Dean's mind in his internal battle against Michael, and a worried Sam and Castiel watching him endure it."
Nemesis of the Mind by TiTivillus
Summary:
"In an attempt to save Dean from Michael, Sam delves into Dean's mind. Things don't go as expected."
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by TiTivillus

Consequences by Jadeys_World
Summary:
"Season 14 AU. Sam is determined to free Dean from Michael and turns to Rowena and the Book of the Damned for help. She finds a spell that will work, but, of course, there will be consequences, and this time, Sam will be paying the ultimate price unless Dean can find a way to save him in return."
Consequences by Blondie2000
Summary:
"For some reason, Lisa found herself drawn to him. She reaches out and places her hand on his cheek. As soon as she touched him, she felt a jolt of electricity go through her. The touch it felt so familiar. The buzz it gave her felt familiar."

Black by Blondie2000

Camper’s Lake
Tumblr media
Summary: The reader and the Winchesters take a short weekend away to relax at Campers Lake but they quickly find out they aren’t the only ones at the secluded lake...
Pairing: Dean x reader
Word Count: 1,600ish
Warnings: language
A/N: A little something for spooky season and Friday the 13th fans...
“Y/N, you know how you told me to check that I packed everything?” asked Dean, staring at his open duffle on your bed. You smiled and walked over to yours, glancing out the window to see Sam and Cas already swimming outside in the lake.
“Yes,” you said, digging around in your bag.
“I uh, I forgot something,” he said. You tossed the bright blue swim trunks at the back of his head lightly, giggling as he pulled them down. “Thank you sweetheart.”
“No problem babe,” you said, pulling off your shirt, putting on a bathing suit as Dean watched. “Can you tie me up?” you asked, pulling your hair to the side.
“I thought we were going swimming,” said Dean with a chuckle, grazing the back of your neck with his long fingers before they began to pull the strings taught and into a bow. “All set.”
“Thank you,” you said, standing on your tip toes to kiss him. He smiled against you and pulled away, turning around so you could hop up on his back.
“The Winchester’s vacation has officially begun,” he said, carrying the two of you outside and to a waiting Sam and Cas. “How cold is the water, fellas?”
“Not too bad,” said Sam, swimming in circles on his back. “Only a little cool.”
“Perfect,” said Dean, jumping in with you. It was fucking cold in your opinion but after popping up to the surface and getting your breath back, you quickly got used to it.
You were so glad they’d listened to you about taking a weekend to yourselves for once.
“Dean, come on, do we have to watch something scary?” you asked, curled on the couch with him that night. Sam threw a piece of popcorn at you from the other one and you scowled. “I’m doing this for your sake Sammy.”
“I’m not afraid of-” he got out before the two of you jumped as thunder boomed overhead.
“Chickens,” Dean muttered. He sat you up and went over to the TV, picking up a different movie. “Can you two handle this ‘Saturday the 14th’ crap knock off movie then? All they got around here is scary.”
“Sure. I just don’t want anything with creepy demons,” you said, Sam nodding.
“Me either. Some shitty version of Jason I can deal with,” said Sam as Dean rolled his eyes.
“You dated a demon once ya know,” said Dean, walking over to Sam and ruffling his hair, stealing some popcorn for the two of you. 
“Shut up,” said Sam. Cas walked in the room with a plate full of microwaved smores, not ideal but the weather outside would put off your campfire until the next night.
“Dean does have a point,” said Cas, offering one to each of you, the boys scarfing theirs down way too fast. “I’m told chewing does wonders for digestion.”
“Oh, sassy Cas this weekend. I like,” you said, earning yourself a second smore.
“He goes on two hunts with you and suddenly he understands sarcasm,” said Dean, trying to steal it out of your hands.
“Y/N is a very good teacher,” said Cas. “She taught me about smores after all.”
“See guys, I’m a good teacher unlike you two,” you said, getting more popcorn thrown at you from Sam and a headlock from Dean. “I give!”
“Just put on the movie already jerk,” said Sam, settling into his spot.
“Alright bitch,” said Dean. “Let’s hope this isn’t too terrifying for you scaredy cats.”
“Truth or dare?” you asked Sam a few hours later. The movie had been decent but you’d moved on to drinking and a card game, truth or dare popping up every so often.
“Dare,” said Sam with a smirk. 
“Go jump in the lake and come back,” you said. Sam scowled but stood up anyways. “It’s only raining now.”
“Oh just wait until it’s your turn Y/N. Payback’s a bitch,” he said, opening the back door where the four of you heard the pouring rain. You turned on the back light for him as the three of you stood by the window and watched Sam trot down to the lake and jump in. You laughed a little but started getting scared when he didn’t pop back up.
“Guys,” you said, patting them both on the arm as you took off outside. You were just about at the water’s edge when you saw something shift out of the corner of you eye.
“Boo!” shouted Sam beside you as you nearly swung a fist.
“That’s not funny Sam! I thought you were hurt,” you said, Dean and Cas by your side now. Sam saw your face and theirs and decided it hadn’t been the best idea to do that.
“Sorry,” said Sam. “Let’s get dry and inside.” You started walking back up when the back light went off, Dean stopping right in front of you.
“Power out?” you asked, peeking your head around him. The lights were all still on. Then the ones in the kitchen went out, then the ones in the family room. You went to keep walking but Dean’s arm jutted out in front of you.
“Did you guys see that?” asked Dean. The boys nodded but you weren’t sure what they were talking about. “Am I crazy or did that thing look like the thing from the movie?”
“I wish I could say you were wrong but...yeah, that’s what I saw too,” said Sam. 
“Alright, prank’s over. I’m getting cold guys,” you said, brushing past Dean and towards the house.
“Y/N, stop!” you heard all three shout at you. You kept on jogging up and ran right to the backdoor, the light turning on as you smacked into a chest. 
For the first time in all you years of hunting, you froze up. This was a freaking character from a movie, standing in front of you, tilting it’s head down at you. You took a step back and had to duck as it reached out for you. You took off, feeling something grab at you, registering it as Dean after a second. He was moving the two you towards the front of the house where Baby was parked but you two had gone the wrong way.
There wasn’t all that much room on that side of the cabin and in the dark it was only a matter of time for Dean to lose his footing and send the both of you down the small hill.
“Oof,” you huffed out when Dean landed on your back. He helped you to your feet but suddenly he was gone. You spun around but found no trace of him. “Shit.”
You took off until you could get back to some more even ground, carefully approaching the back yard of the cabin this time. You nearly screamed when a hand came over your mouth.
“Sh, it’s me, it’s Sam,” he whispered. You turned to find Sam looking worse for wear and Cas no where to be found. “Dean?”
“Cas?” you asked, Sam nodding and looking at the house. “Fuck.”
“I thought that house from the movie looked a little too much like our fucking cabin,” said Sam. You shivered and wondered if the other things that had happened in it would end up happening to the four of you.
“We got to get Dean and Cas out of that basement,” you said. You felt Sam take a step away from you and you groaned. “Sam...”
“How do you know where they are?” he said, backing up and picking up a branch.
“Because I watched the movie...or most of it until it got too scary. We’re in it right now if you hadn’t realized. It’s not fake found footage Sam. It was real. I can guarantee we’re in the next version as we speak,” you said. 
“Yeah, I’ll give you that but there was the decoy in the movie too. The person that wasn’t a person,” said Sam. You took a step back and Sam saw that as a sign of guilt. “Where are they!”
“Sam it’s me,” you said, holding up your hands. “Y/N, the one who uses up the hot water and doesn’t like the crust on anything,” you said. 
Sam glared but you saw something shift behind him. You reached out for him and pulled him forward, narrowly missing a blow to the head as you dragged him across the lawn and back into the woods.
“Trust me?” you said, Sam nodding but still glancing over his shoulder to where the thing was watching from the edge of the lawn. “I think we’re safe for a minute.”
“Why isn’t it coming after us?” asked Sam. He looked around before it hit him. “The movie. The monster...it could only go so far.”
“There’s something over here it doesn’t like. We just have to figure out what that is before...” you trailed off. You started to shake from the cold as you took cover under a tree, Sam bundling in beside you.
“Hey, Y/N?” asked Sam wrapping his arm around himself as rain continued to pour down. “Great vacation so far.”
“We get the boys back and kill this thing, I’ll never ask you guys to go on one ever again,” you said.
“Sounds good to me.”

10 characters 10 fandoms
I was tagged by @birdkeeperklink thank you so much! I really had to think on these since, as per my url you can guess there are a lot. (sorry for the late reply. I got no excuse, really, except life continued to happen around me and deciding who to pick was really hard.)
in no particular order (though Loki is Number 1, I'm sorry everyone else), here we go:
1. Loki Odinson from MARVEL
I just love him so much I've written a 78K fix-it fantasy novel (not finished) to give him the happy ending he deserves. there is no other character I identify with harder than this one: a younger sibling full of rage, always feeling overshadowed by the older one, just wanting to prove their own worth and show the world that they are capable (i got over this a lot in recent years but my love for him still remains.)
Tom just plays him so perfectly and I am so heartbroken that the writers at MARVEL did not know what to do with him, so they killed him off (the Loki show doesn't count because that's not him okay.) he's always having a good time, he's snarky and clever and desperately needs a hug. how can you not love him?
Tumblr media
2. Mr. Spock and Leonard (Bones) McCoy from Star Trek TOS
Yes, they are two people but I just couldn't choose between them!
The grumpy surgeon with a heart of gold an the emotionally suppressed but deeply loving vulcan live in my heart rent free ever since I was a child. Spock was my first crush ever and his complicated relationship with McCoy has always fascinated me. they are two incredibly complicated people and there isn't enough space here to describe why. writing them is just as much fun as watching them and I actually own the autographs of both Leonard and De.
Tumblr media
3. James Wilson from House M.D.
he's a man of many contradictions: he is kind but also House's best friend, he loves people dearly but can also tell them to fuck off. he is confident and funny and he helps people without being a pushover. he loves all of his his wives but cheats at least once. he is a walking mystery which makes him a great friend for House and a nightmare to write. I just love him! also, that smile!
Tumblr media
4. Castiel from Supernatural
Cas is the character, truly! he can go from nerdy to badass in the blink of an eye. a cosmic being that plays dress up just to make one human smile, who should be nothing but an ant to him. he fiercely protects the people he loves and always tries to do the right thing. the character that inserted himself into the story against the writer's will and changed the narrative for ever. when he came on the show, I hated his guts. and look at me now...
Tumblr media
5. Zuko from Avatar the last Aribender
you simply cannot talk about redemption arcs without mentioning Zuko at some point. an exceptional character amongst a cast of exceptional characters. I once joked that 90% of his lines were just him screaming but that poor boy has so much rage inside him, and with all that trauma, can you really blame him? he is the epitome of character growth and a fascinating example of how the villain can become a hero without taking any shortcuts.
Tumblr media
6. Stephen Maturin from the Aubrey-Maturin series
if you read the books, you'll know why. this fucking lunatic is so oblivious to his own eccentricities that you just have to love him. nobody does it quite like him to be honest. no, Stephen, people will not think you're eccentric because you practice sword fighting on deck, however they might think that because you let loose 1000 bees on the ship and run around naked. he has no sense for proper etiquette and i love him so much for it. also, he get's on a ship without being able to swim and performs open brain surgery on deck. he is incredibly skilled and the best damn doctor in the entire fleet. also, his dynamic with his best friend/captain is one of the best friendships I've ever seen/read.
Tumblr media
7. Scrooge McDuck
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this might be an unusual choice but i grew up reading comics and at one point in my life i figured out that all of my favourite stories were writen and drawn by the legendary Don Rosa, who in his book "the life and times of Scrooge McDuck" created one of the most fascinating and fun to watch characters i've ever seen. starting from humble beginnings and rising to the top through his percevierence, fearlessness and ingenuity, inevitably losing everything he loved and ending up alone, only to be found by his family again, his story is one of my absolute favourites in literature. i know that due the never ending nature of comic books, he can never truly get his happy ending but I really wished he could.
8. Keeley Jones from Ted Lasso
Tumblr media
I don't think I've ever seen a woman like her in any media to be honest. she is so clearly feminine and embodies all the traits of a woman that would normally be depicted as bitchy, toxic and self obsessed but she is just none of those things. she is a girly woman who loves pink and cries and she is just so human and lovely and i love her so much for it! her friendship with Rebecca is also so amazing and feels very real and true to what friendships between woman are actually like. I just love her as a beacon of healthy femininity and can only hope that there will be more characters like her in the future!
9. Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium
Tumblr media
the voice, the looks, the everything! the moment I met him I knew I wanted him to be my best friend for ever! his deadpan delivery combined with his dorkyness and his shere competence had me on the floor on multiple occasions. I have not finished the game yet but I have never had a companion this incredible in any video game ever! I could listen to him read the phone book for hours. when he went "daba doop doop dead" I died. also him jumping in when I fail a check has to be the most badass thing ever. I love you, Kim. please be proud of me. (also, I know he probably has a darker side to him that I am not seeing right now because I am always choosing the nice options but hey, the best characters are the complicated ones.)
10. Cole Turner from Charmed
Tumblr media
this show was so much better when he was in it! the half demon who crosses over to the good side without ever really changing his ways. he burns someone alive and laughs about it, drags a detective to hell and doesn't give a shit about civilians. even when he is completely human his solution to assholes is to punch them in the face. he loves power and controling others and looking good while doing it. I know him beind "good" was a whole thing on the show but to me the most fun about him was that he continued being evil but was now using his powers to help the good guys. show me another character that got redeemed into the hero team without losing his evil edge. Cole was just so much fun to watch but unfortunately his character got totally buthcered by bad writing.
No pressure of doing this but tagging:
@catzy88, @uponxhorhaus, @accrov

Name: Pedro Vázquez Species: Human (Non-powered) Occupation: Park Ranger Age: 30 Years Old Played By: Kitty Face Claim: Sean Teale
"Shut up, I’m not a Boy Scout."
Ever since he was tiny, Pedro was definitely a nature kid. He enjoyed exploring caves and climbing trees, and he had a collection of cool rocks that his mom helped him paint. His drawings involved a lot of green pencil, and/or random animals he’d either seen or imagined. In this kind of place, where birds can have human teeth, the line often blurred between those two things.
It wasn’t surprising that he enjoyed biology class as he got older, taking an eclectic mix of science and art courses, and eventually joining the Wildlife Ecology programme at UMWR - where he tagged along with cryptid searches despite being absolutely terrified about actually finding one. He didn’t want to look like a loser or anything.
His willingness to go in search of creatures in spite of his fear didn’t go unnoticed - and alongside his family name, that secured him a State Park internship. He didn’t think that was going to be his career even though his mom’s side of the family had been doing it since forever. It was always really clear it was his own decision whether to take it up, or go do something more mundane elsewhere.
Pedro’s creativity made him thrive in that environment, which was something he hadn’t quite expected. It involved more entertainer skills than he’d thought, because people remembered safety measures a lot better with a fun rhyme or a really bad pun.
The problem with working in a dangerous place for years was that you couldn’t be on your guard all the time. It was literally impossible. All it took was the combination of complacency and momentary inattention, and he found himself joining the ranks of those who’d lost their lives to the woods - or their contents.
That was, until he found it again. He doesn’t know - nor does he want to know - the details, but his mom paid someone to bring him back. She said she wasn’t going to outlive her only son, no matter the cost. Pedro refused to listen to any more explanation. Someone else had to die for him to live, he understood that much, but had no desire to find out who. He’s working on the mixed feelings he has about it all. Parents would do anything to save their kids, sure, and he gets that - but that doesn’t automatically make it okay.
Not knowing the details was his choice, and he stood by it, but that came with its consequences. The person who resurrected him could be literally anyone. He could cross paths with them any time of day and not even know about it - or maybe he would know about it in some kind of weird mystical way. They were probably evil, because you would have to be to be some kind of resurrecter-for-hire - or at least someone with way weaker of an ethical code than him. He would rather that didn’t rub off on him.
It was normal to feel lost and distant after being…re-alived, right? There’s something missing - or something off, he isn’t sure what. Maybe there’s something that’s not even him at all left over. Maybe he’s secretly evil and he doesn’t know it yet. As far as everyone else is concerned, he went missing and now he’s back. That’s how he wants to keep things. He must be overthinking this.
Except, life is never quite that simple. Try explaining to your friends who know your pain tolerance is practically zero that you somehow decided to get a creepy looking tattoo? Okay, that one can be blamed on bad life choices after a drink or several - and people are kind of willing to believe that about him. A little light bullying from colleagues is definitely better than the alternative.
But the scars are harder to cover up. Especially now it’s coming up to summertime and he doesn’t have any non-suspicious reasoning to avoid swimming and sunbathing. He has been pretty lucky so far, if you can call it that, that he seems to run colder than he used to. Maybe he’s imagining that, but people have been wondering how he can tolerate wearing a sweater on long hikes as the weather gets warmer.
For all his creativity, he isn’t good at excuses. He can’t keep them straight. Maybe if he told them the truth but made it sound like a joke? Or, he could have technically been in hospital and had it be touch-and-go for a while. They look like he went a few rounds with a clawed thing and lost, which is basically what did happen, but that in combination with the weird tattoo? Someone would put two and two together. Especially in his line of work, where the improbable was practically mundane.
Character Facts:
Personality: Good-natured, empathetic, kind, creative, fearful, uncertain, naive, daydreamer
Pedro is that person who pulls out a guitar to play Wonderwall, despite the fact that absolutely nobody likes it. He is enjoying himself, and it wards off wildlife and eldritch beings.
He likes puns entirely too much, the kind of wordplay that results in audible groans. This also means he’s part of the team that comes up with cautionary rhymes for the visitors to remember.
Prior to his untimely death, he was a Park Ranger - not necessarily a very good one, but his family have consistently served over centuries. He liked the stories, and working in the outdoors, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Pedro is bilingual (English and Spanish).

Day 8 of Crona’s April CAS Challenge!
I hope this posts on time + I’ve skipped a few days bc my sims didn’t come out the way I’ve wanted them to with the stuff I have but I was really looking forward to this day. I was debating on making a brand new pair of twin sims but I also wanted to bring back a set of twins that I grew really fond of. I decided to revamp them & give them a whole new life so here we go!
𝙽𝚢𝚕𝚊 [𝚜𝚑𝚎/𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢] & 𝙻𝚢𝚗𝚍𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝙱𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛 [𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚜]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Coming from a line of fairy elves that are more physically superior than humans (have an easier time doing physical activities than regular humans such as being able to run longer distances without tiring, climb and swim for hours without breaking much of a sweat, stronger naturally in general, etc) Nyla is someone who easily fits the bill.
You’ll always find her in the smallest, tightest & girliest little dresses with heels to match (and yes, she’s always ready to party) so you might think she’s always just got off the latest catwalk, too busy to care for the average person but it’s actually quite the opposite. Nyla has a huge passion for her little plants.
Most people actually stumble across Nyla crouched down and poking at dirt. People often come up to her with concern as it’s an odd site to see someone all dolled up & playing in the dirt but, if you were to ask her if she’s okay, she’s passionately tell you about the plant she’s trying to save at the moment.
Nyla loves the outdoors. She gets sad if she’s cooped up for too long. Her favorite color is purple and she has an obsession with butterflies. You’ll usually find her tending her garden, in greenhouses checking out the latest plants, in fields watching the butterflies or letting loose and enjoying a party.
She has a good heart and is very outgoing. She also enjoys being physically active and loves involving herself in charity work. She can hide her wings if needed but she takes pride in them and enjoys having them on full display. Overall, she loves being able to be out there in the world, waiting to stumble on her next adventure & Lyndsay…
“Can we go home yet?” is something you’d commonly hear out of the younger sister’s mouth. If it wasn’t for how my Nyla mentioned her sister, you probably wouldn’t realize that Nyla had a sister at all. A twin sister at that.
Although their species have a physical advantage over humans, you wouldn’t really be able to tell that observing Lyndsay. Lyndsay never really preformed well doing physical activities and much prefers to stay inside. She’s a geek and really good when it comes to tech stuff. She’s a huge gamer and does all her stuff online so she doesn’t have a real reason to get out much but when she does, you’d probably hear her grumbling about how she “has an event to grind” or how she “should have stayed home anyways.”
She hates wearing heeled anything (minus her favorite boots) and hates wearing anything too revealing. You’d usually find her in a baggy hoodie and cargo pants at home lounging around. You wouldn’t think these two were related by how polar opposite they were but they’re twin sisters for a reason.
Although the two are insanely different, they value each other like no other. Where one lacks in an area, the other makes up for it. They’re one killer team and no matter their differences, they always know that they have each other at the end. They have immense love for each other and know each other’s strengths/ weaknesses so they always know how to boost each other up in situations. Wherever one goes, the other is always soon to follow. You can’t separate these two little peas in a pod. They’ll always find a way to get back to each other.

Get to Know Me ⭐ Sims Edition
thanks @descendantdragfi @auroraeternal @pixelatedpretties for tagging me! 💘
What's your favourite Sims death?
Usually i don’t kill my sims but if it’s needed...hehe. I choose “fast” death by pool, but my favorite is death by jelly bean. Like, this is so funny to me to die because of jelly beans? This is so resonating with me because i love candies so much i could die lol. And i also love the ghost it’s purple, haha.
Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
Alpha for sure!
Do you cheat your sims weight?
Only once when i played with Tatyana at the Isla Paradiso. She used to swim a lot and her chubby shapes have constantly dissappeared and i always had to get back her normal chubby weight, hehe.
Do you use move objects?
Yes! But i try not to use it that much when i play casual gameplay. Sims might not like my way of placing the objects 🙄
Favourite Mod?
Master Controller! I can’t imagine how i lived without this mod earlier. And the story progression mod is must have tho.
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?
Hmm, i can’t really remember, it must be Late Night. Back then, i was soooo amazed by the Bridgeport and vampires in game. This EP completely changed my view of the game. I still love the aesthetics of this one.
Do you pronounce live mode or aLIVE or LiVing?
I don’t actually speak english, but i think this should sound like aLIVE.
Whos your favourite sim that you've made?
Are you serious? I have like 30+ sims and you force me to choose only one? That’s cruel. I’m torn apart between Tatyana and Francine. Okay, Francine. She is one of my sims that have really detailed story and biography.
Have you made a simself?
Yup! It’s Marzia.
Which is your favourite EA hair colour?
I don’t usually use them, but i like how the default red looks like.
Favourite EA hair?
Of course Deb’s hairstyle. I really love this hair since i first saw it installed in my game and still amazed of how it styled. And i love how the roots look like. A true EA’s masterpiece.
Tumblr media
Favourite life stage?
Adult
Are you a builder or are you in it for gameplay?
I don’t know how to build, lol. Only decorate (still not very good tho) sometimes i love to gameplay but still i’m more like editor and CAS person.
Are you a CC creator?
More like CC converter. Well, this still counts, i think. I would love to create something by myself and i already have some thoughts about what it can be, but currently have no time for it :(
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?
I have a lot of friends only because of simblr community!
@myopicshen is my one and only best friend! We have seen each other last year and hope to see again this summer! She is not into sims community anymore but we still communicate. I show her my edits and screenshots, tell something about my OC and etc. I’m trying to get her back to the sims but she didn’t want to 😭😔 I loved her sims and edits sooo much.
@agnelid is my hair maniac (as do I) hehe 💇‍♀️
@falturilturaltura is my lesbian bae 💃🏽
@die-ginsekatze is my german aesthetic queen 🖤
Do you have any sims merch?
Does printed portraits of my own sims counts? @myopicshen gifted me them for birthday <3
Tumblr media
How has your ''Sims Style'' changed throughout your years of playing?
There was a long road, huh. This picture is not so accurate bc it’s old but my style was always volatile. I love to do something noir styled (or close to that) at the same time i can’t refuse to do something colorful and experimental.
Tumblr media
Whats your Origin ID?
I’m using my friend’s account lol and only for ts4 (which is rare) so i wouldn’t share.
Who's your favourite CC creator?
@rollo-rolls @smallsimmer @sourlemonsimblr @nemiga-sims-archive
@pleaseputnamehere @agnelid @billsims-cc @plbsims3
How long have you had simblr?
Since February 2016. It’s turned 8 this year!
How do you edit your pictures?
Since i had graphic tablet my possibilites have become bigger! I love to draw shadows, highlights and hair strands to make the portrait more realistic. I also use liquify tool to smooth edges. And of course color correction. Reshade is good, but not really accurate for me. At the end of the editing i put some filters from Alien Skin Exposure and the final touches: portrait blur and noise.
What expansion/ stuff pack is your favourite?
Uhm, university? I’m torn apart between Supernatural and University. These are both my endless vibing favorites. They are like completely two other worlds!
Tagging: @avirein @you-will-never-find-me-anymore @agnelid @rollo-rolls @sagasimsworld @cas-sims @jolifleurbleu @papermint-airplane @simimpala @pleaseputnamehere @niscomo @obscurus-noctem @joosiiims @nectar-cellar @camisulsul @simplybecauseiam​ <3

So, I've been rereading in preparation for future updates, and I had a thought. Will Ro ever question Pietro's attraction to her? I know the choice to dress differently was Ro's - not considering the old man's comments - but as she and Pietro become more intimate, will she think, "Why does Pietro like me now? What's changed in the boss-assistant relationship? If she returns to her old outfits, will he just see her as 'cute' like before?" He didn't know about Ben until their lunch date, and we saw Pietro was willing to engage in an affair if it satisfied him (before learning his lesson and getting shot). And we see Ro questioning if she's simply crushing on Pietro or if she may love him. I'm curious what's going on in Ro's head, and is this some future drama to their slow burn?
Heeeey! I appreciate you rereading Sink or Swim. I would have updated it this weekend, even if it was just a small update, but I ended up getting sick soooo my day was spent playing in CAS. Maybe next weekend y'all will get something. But as for the question… “Will Ro ever question Pietro's attraction to her?”
This is a great question! Before I created Pietro, I always felt Rosaria would be conflicted and self-conscious if in a relationship with a handsome, well-to-do man (which is the reason I decided to pair her off with one). She never felt that she was the sort of woman who would get this sort of attention both because of her physical appearance and neurotic personality. She thinks when it comes to romance she’s bound to be committed to an average guy like Ben.  Therefore, if Rosaria were to jump into a relationship quickly with Pietro, or a Pietro-adjacent person, she would always overthink the nature of their relationship. These thoughts would be like, “is this a dream? Is this a joke? Is she being used for something? WHY does he like her? It doesn’t make sense why he would like her when he can literally be with any woman he wants.” With these insecurities, Rosaria still needs to do some ‘work’ on herself in order to have a sense of authentic pride and self-worth. That doesn’t just come from Pietro telling her she’s pretty, or that she’s evolving. (Although it does help) Ultimately, this is going to be achieved through learning about women in her father’s family. It’s hard to have self-hatred when you see beautiful women who look just like you.
Also, it’s crucial for Pietro and Rosaria to learn more about each other in order for that distinction for crush/lust to be drawn out. Because let’s say Rosaria meets a guy who is a part of her college faculty and falls for him. Why should she be attracted to him and not Pietro? What makes Pietro stand out to Rosaria so much that she would prefer him? And as for Pietro, is a sexual relationship with Rosaria worth gaining the disdain of Raphael? He’s the old man’s underboss after all. And how on earth is Pietro going to interact with members of Rosaria’s family - especially Salvatore? Is Rosaria worth Pietro dealing with the Scozzari family? Only time will tell~

supernatural s11e17 red meat (w. robert berens, andrew dabb)
have a vague idea this episode is gonna be difficult to watch, didn't have the emotional fortitude to watch it last night
well, sam getting shot in the cold open sure would do it.
DEAN All right, well, we make a call and we put somebody on it. SAM Yeah, but... [He sighs, closes his laptop and looks at Dean]. We'll get him back. DEAN How? SAM I... I don't know. But we'll figure it out.
i feel like an asshole but i'm like, are we talking about cas? dunno what other dude he'd be distraught over. maybe it's my total lack of emotional connection with the character but i'm just very ???? literally whatever i'm expecting they're feeling about him, i'm always wrong. broken record on that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
s11e17 / s8e23
reminded of that little smile dean gave sam when he was wrapping his hand in the church. and it reminds me of being with my mom when she was dying in the hospital. we're gonna smile and be so positive and softer than we normally would, but also try to keep it light. (i'm not sure i have the emotional fortitude for this tonight either)
not quite sure i'll ever have it to watch sam die like this. this is awful. trying to talk myself into just finishing so i don't end up crying for an extended period of time today and another day.
BILLIE It's cute, though. You pretending you're trying to save Sam for the greater good, when we both know you're doing it for you. You can't lose him.
just saw this line in an edit recently and thought it was attributed to Death, no wonder i didn't remember it.
DEAN I'm asking you... I'm begging you, please. Bring him back. Bring him back and take me instead. BILLIE I'm not here to bargain with you, kid. I'm here to reap you. And the kicker is... Sam's not dead.
here's where i'm never happy with anything. despite the unhinged love and commitment of it all, this all is really veering into emotional torture porn for me. how can we make it the worst. and then a little worse on top of that. except instead of making me irritated, i'm just more sad and want it to be over. maybe this is one i won't be able to appreciate until i have some distance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DEAN Michelle, this is gonna be very hard. But you will be okay. And, eventually... eventually you'll get back to normal. MICHELLE No, I won't. They said I could leave an hour ago. But... where am I even supposed to go? After everything we survived together... I watched the man I love die. There's no normal after that.
not sure what this pointed zoom into dean making the sad puppy face is about. we know he can't be normal when sam dies, he knows it too?? does he remember that year with lisa and ben? and now he has the threat of not only losing sam, that sam won't be waiting for him in heaven or anywhere else if he does die.

well, fortunately we have the production draft of the script linked in the wiki for this one so actually can get answer
so i mean.. ok. both watched their husbands die is what we're saying
DEAN So, that's it, huh? Two quarts O-neg, and you're good to go.
i thought we were treating abdominal gunshot wounds like the serious emergency they are but i guess not
SAM Hey, so, what did you do? When you thought I was dead? What did you do? DEAN Thought about redecorating your room [Sam chuckles], you know, putting in a Jacuzzi, a nice disco ball... really class up the joint. SAM Right, seriously. DEAN What, I, uh... I knew you weren't dead. SAM Right. DEAN I knew.
so i mean. sam not buying that, clearly. wonder if dean ever tells him
Tumblr media
should remember to check for a script next time i have wonderings about what they're trying to convey with their faces (went to check if they had 11x11 because i was curious about that whole pining line, but wiki doesn't have one linked)
tonal shift after the like.. heavy focus on sam (mostly) dying very... graphic in swimming around in the pain and slow death and almost-murder of it all and then we're having dean kill himself (briefly) to try to take sam's place with no consideration of repercussions, to hey dude we saved (and tried to kill sam) is a werewolf and he changed and he's gonna punch through this cop's chest cavity in a pretty silly manner. so no moral quandary killing him either, look at that. weird. anyway, the woman who played michelle was really good in those emotional scenes
i'm wiped out.
