Millie takes meticulous care of her weapons. They’re an extension of herself after all.
It started when she was six or seven, she’d been sleeping with a knife under her pillow for somewhere around two or three years, known about her dad’s job for 1-2 years. She’d beg to help out, but since someone had to watch Sammy, and Dean was being “trained” J*hn gave her the job to keep the weapons clean. He taught her how to safely clean a gun, how to sharpen knives, and at 8 years old she was making salt rounds for the shotguns. (It wasn’t long after that she was finally allowed to tag along to “train”). At first it was nice and relaxing, a comfort and a constant in her ever changing life. But, at 8 1/2, when she packed a few salt rounds wrong and caused problems on a hunt, delaying her father and Dean a good couple days due to injuries, she became a little bit (very) obsessive.
J*hn had gone off on her when they finally did get back, going on about how she should know better, she held back tears, and promised it would never happen again. (It didn’t.)
Any free time was spent sharpening or polishing knives, making salt rounds, occasionally working with other metals to make different kinds of bullets (don’t ask how she melted them down, you probably don’t want to know.) she’d also carve protection sigils into the handles of almost every weapon, (specifically the ones she knew J*hn gave to Dean on hunts) sometimes they were just general, other times they were more specific.
She started to do it more, eventually finding hiding spots for the sigils on the various weapons. J*hn’s weapons remained mostly untouched, she figured her dad could handle himself, not that Dean couldn’t, but she needed Dean more than she needed her dad. And further more, Sammy needed Dean more than he needed her.
This habit became more frequent as time went on, she’d carve protection sigils into all of her brothers’ weapons and a few on her own. Then she’d use something to seal the etching so her brothers didn’t notice the difference in texture. It was just a little thing she could do to keep them safe.
Cleaning the weapons meticulously was her zen. No one bothered her and she could hear everyone else in the motel room, conversations, movements she knew what everyone was doing.
(She was definitely the freak at new schools, it was just how she was.)

So, Mina in the Bad End AU, I was having a hard time getting her “voice” as it were, and then I had the thought-she doesn’t have one. There was an attempt made to fulfill her wish—and attempt Jonathan stopped, and Turning mostly fixed, but not before it cost her voice.
The lack of an ability to speak doesn’t make her any less a force, especially towards Dracula. Her being turned by him does give him a certain amount of ‘control’ over her, so that she can’t just rip his throat out, and she knows that with how things stand at the moment her family is somewhat beholden to his “hospitality”. And I think he enjoys trying to goad her into darker acts of vampirism (under the justifications of giving Jonathan a break from being their shared meal, and creating a world where her son could walk free without fear of being staked)
But she also knows she’s got all the time in the world to come up with a vengeance to rain down on him sweeter then anything else she could possibly taste. So she waits and plots in silence…

CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THERE’s NOTHING ROMANTIC HERE. The vibe if anything is the Sith Apprentice bidding their time to overthrow their hated master and they both know it.

Lora: "Is that your dad?"
Jack: "One of them, yes."
what's so fascinating to me about this season is how explicit it is about their family being a queer family even before Cas comes out, Jack says several times he has more than one dad and no one bats an eyelash, Dean pointedly says "I have a family" in "Lebanon" and we know he means Jack, Cas, Mary, and Sam in a way that is very much not nuclear, Chuck makes Dean try to kill Jack for the Abraham & Isaac of it all because Jack isn't just Cas's kid he's Cas's, Dean's, and Sam's equally no matter what Chuck manipulates Dean into saying about him-- my point is none of them have to be fucking for their family to be queer, it just is

Theodore: The Lykaios family are mere Counts!
Marquis Ellen: Shhh! (Covers his grandson’s mouth) They’re crazy and insanely monstrously strong. Especially the Countess! And that doesn’t even begin to speak of the army at their back!
Marquis Ellen who was from the same generation as the Count and Countess remembered all that had happened between them with great difficulty. The trauma in him as deep as Duke Eckart’s was when it came to the late Empress.
It was during a family meal that the Marquis had discovered that the Crown Prince’s Aide was related to Lady Iris Lykaios born as the youngest Lady Cameron.
He suddenly has a memory float to the top of his mind of how he’d woken up to a bloody pile of severed heads, that he recognized to be the assassins he’d sent after Cedric and Callisto, neatly arranged on his bed.
Now that he thought more of it, he could now easily believe that it was Cedric Porter who’d done that and not the ‘barbarian’ Crown Prince who seemed genuinely confused when he’d confronted him.
-
-
Cedric: I’m not bloodthirsty, I’m really not. (A bloody mountain of corpses behind him that he has buried and sodded so that it would turn in to a proper mound.)
Callisto who stood beside him nodded approvingly at his handiwork, even though there was some mild disappointment there: You’re really not. This is so tame and gentle.

hii peonie! hope you're doing well <3
Hiii 🥰
Thanks for checking in on me. I‘m doing okay how about you? How’s everything going? How’s the moving coming along? You ready for Cologne?
Also I had the feeling you could use a hug so here’s a hug for you (of course I had to use a gif of my two favorite dorks Sam & Dean Winchester).
Hope today was wonderful for you 🩷

Call me crazy but I don’t think blonde hair and a pretty face should be enough for you to be crushing on a fascist

I understand why eventually the sims has to stop recognising distant cousins as family and I get that it’s, like, actually even allowed for first cousins irl but it’s still weird when my sims share grandparents and/or great-grandparents and develop high school crushes on each other

stayed up super late last night with friends doing halloween stuff (getting drunk and spilling tea) knowing full well that i had to get up early today to go to a quince out of town . i am awake against my will and regretting many decisions
#peach rambles#not staying up late and getting drunk. Let me be clear. that is my natural habitat#i regret rsvping for this quince that happens halloween weekend which just so happens to apparently be the busiest weekend of my goddamn#life. im exhausted from a week’s worth of lack of sleep and i am also no where near done with three of my monday deadlines#and i am losing an entire day (?) of work to this quince.#also it’s halloween weekend i should be getting drunk and looking hot😭😭😭😭#instead i am in the passenger seat of my father’s truck attempting to pretend i am alive#he called me this morning to say how far away he was from my house#but i missed the call because i kept on pressing snooze because. Obvious Reasons. and when i saw that he called#i called him back and he was like ‘im ten minutes from your house’ bitch i hadn’t even packed for the night yet. i was still fully in bed#i feel like if i close my eyes for too long im going to have a category five sleep incident. whatever that means#i think i forgot to pack a bra? fucking. i don’t know#i brought my computer so that i could possibly work but there’s absolutely no charger to speak of in#this vicinity. fuck. and uhhhhh i look like death but the only makeup i have is a singular eyebrow pencil#and the remnants of my eyeliner from last night. also the fake blood still in my fingernails#speaking of fake blood i bloodied my shit up for real last night which was very high risk high reward for me#the blood was four bucks from walmart and said that it stained skin and i was like#what a perfect product to cover my face and body in the day before i go to a family function#it ended up working out because i looked fucking good and i took a shower before i went to sleep#(did NOT check how i looked before i went to bed so this morning when i looked in the mirror and say i was blood-free it was a miracle)#but anyway. yeah. i want to pass out

thinking about vampires
#the lifelong appeal of ‘the blood is the life’. sorry. just rewatched the stakeout#the thing that always haunted me about vampires when i was a child— and still does today— is the concept of eternal life.#to be that hungry. forever. eternally a predator under the moon. i’m still a little hypnotised by the concept#of course it’s the cliché thing of a child that strange clinging to a strange creature from folklore but. oh.#dark and strange and hideous. not alluring BECAUSE they killed but alluring AND they killed. to be blood-toothed#i was fascinated by the vampires in the skulduggery pleasant book series in particular. demure nervous victorianesque pale men with names#like anton shudder or caelaen who had to shut themselves in cages overnight because they would rip their own skin off and kill#indiscriminately. the animal characteristic of it all— and that being forever and innate. you walk the world for centuries or more unable to#tell anyone. you eventually give up relationships because they always wonder in the end why they age and you don’t.#as a kid i really was fascinated by the loneliness much more than the blood. although of course that was enticing too. the ultimate#nourishment from another…… i may have spoken about cannibalism too much on here though. anyway#i remember reading…. darren shan? is that the name? cirque du freak. in year seven english class. and at the end he’s left with this curse#of vampirism and has to leave the mortal family behind. i suppose it’s a sort of ultimate primal forbidding loneliness…. no wonder i was#intrigued. an old folklore reason to be alone. you know? and the old wives’ tales talk of salt water doing this or garlic doing that.#i don’t know. and even now somehow compared to other supernatural creatures you can modernise them. put them in dark corners in cityscapes#at three in the morning flitting and hunting. they’ve modernised like martin (1977)#was there a vampire story in the whitechapel tv series? that atmosphere too. in a long black coat at the end of the alley under a streetlamp#with my hair dyed black. column-pale and blinking at you#dracula

Sam and Rowena bonding over healing from their mutual abuser, wow, honestly watching Sam and Rowena's relationship grow over the years is such a treat, the deep respect they have for each other by the end, this is the turning point where they start to see each other as people instead of enemies
