DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

#DPxDC #dcxdp #Danny makes a card game to save the world. #Technically he worded the ritual so that they had to ‘beat’ him as those are the most powerful barriers and most reliable. #keys can just get lost or stolen (like the one to Pariah’s Coffin) #A riddle would be useless once someone figured out the answer. Like how no one takes the sphynx seriously anymore. #(Sorry Tuck. But it’s true). #And there is NO WAY Danny is just leaving a hole open for anyone to pass through. No thank you! #So…beating him. But it’s not like Danny wanted to fight so…he edited the ritual a TINY bit. Card games are good. Much less painful too. #Danny Tucker and Sam made the most complicated card game they could imagine. #It’s based on their strategies for fighting ghosts. Capturing them in thermoses. And MUCH based on a on field battle strategy. #It often requires spontaneous thinking on the spot. So Danny? In his ELEMNT. It doubles as practice for his actual ghost battles too. #They had SO much fun making this. #Sam added an entire series of plant cards that act as traps and healing ointments and duds that just take up the field. #Tucker added legitimate hyroglyphics combined with Latin as well as English and ghost speak. #Yes. You actually have to speak that language to play. With proper pronunciation. (Amity Parker’s think the three are talking gibberish.) #I headcanon Sam and Tucker are fluent in Ghost. #Constantine WILL figure this game out SO HELP HIM! #Some of the cards also have combinations related to constellations either in name or placement on the board. #By the way the board is based on a Hexagonal summoning circle with Rhunes along the edges #And the placement of the cards on the board and on what rhune MATTERS. #Also the cards move disintegrate and have certain abilities. Think of Harry Potter Wizard Chess. #But they are normal when Danny plays at school. This is just for ✨effect✨ Against invaders. #Danny faces multiple opponents. He also halts alien invasions. #While Danny COULD stop crime on earth he’s not sure how to fight a normal human and hold back so he sticks to ghosts. #The Justice league are going crazy trying to figure out who this entity is and after deep research are convinced this is some sort of #Ancient being who has protected earth for millenia. They have paintings on ruins and everything. #Danny is not aware they think this. #Raven starts praying to Danny as if he is a god and wrangles the other Teen Titans into doing so as well. Danny is still unaware of this. #Danny is not a King or an ancient. Just a very VERY strong ghost.

I LIVE BITCHEEESSSSS

here’s a goofy style comparison I did to try and get back in the swing of drawing :> only issue is I already try to draw em pretty close to the comics/show, so my closest imitation of Steve’s style ended up looking very similar to how I already draw them lmao. So to make up for it, I made a fucked up version too!

Also I’m thinking of streaming later tonight (10/18/23)! I’ll put details in another post but yeah if anyone wants to stop by I’d be delighted to have you :D

#also I’m not trying to brag and say I can copy Steve’s style perfectly or something hdkhsjf #I just mean I’m already trying to most of the time so there’s not much of a difference. if that makes any sense hhhdjdhd #poor max. he is not having fun in stylized realism hell world lmaooooooo #sam and max #sam and max freelance police #freelance husbands #my art #style comparison

sometimes i think about how sam was always meant to outlive dean and how HARD he tried to change that. His big brother is dying of a heart attack, his big brother is dying of a car crash, his big brother is dying over and over on tuesday, his big brother is dying by the hellhounds, his big brother is dying by his hand, his big brother is dying in a barn and i just. fuck. your elder brother will always die first, that's the way it's supposed to go kid.

#supernatural #sam winchester #dean winchester #just FUCK!!! it makes me insane #not to discredit the amount of times sam died and was brought back/similar by dean #but with dean there's a distinct sense he's fixing something that's not MEANT to happen #sam is not meant to be put in a supernatural gauntlet and he sure as hell is not supposed to jump in hell #dean avoiding sam's death feels almost like the natural course of action bc the baby brother is not supposed to die #and specially not by these magical fatalities #while sam is the opposite the very thing he's trying to avoid feels like how things were always meant to be #he can rewrite and reshape their story all he wants but its so POWERLESS and most importantly so pointless #supernatural meta #if this makes a scrap of sense

Actually the implications of John also being bisexual are so fucking tasty to me because like. OG John has no support system and no protection against the world except his own perceived strength so he learns to ferret out anything that can possibly be seen as weakness to those around him and that includes any affection or attraction he might feel towards men because nothing screams "stay in your fucking closet" like spending all your time around a fringe subculture of serial killing doomsday preppers in the Midwest during the Reagan era.

By the time he notices Dean starting to look a little too long at boys his age, he's probably convinced himself that whatever he felt (still feels but ignores) was a temporary youthful indiscretion, and of course Dean can't afford those, doesn't get to have those, he's got to be a soldier. He's got to be a better soldier than John, even.

I dunno I've just had enough conversations with family members who are loudly but somehow also mildly homophobic and yet say or do things that make me *eyeballs emoji* not to think this is not only possible but arguably likely.

#supernatural #the winchesters #spn #spnwin #john winchester #shifting my headcanon of john to the type of person who doesn't think of himself as homophobic if he ever things about it at all #and would even probably try to stop a hate crime if he saw one happening right in front of him #(or likes to think he would) #but also views his own queer desire--and thus that of others--with suspicion and contempt #like something frivolous that he simply doesn't have the luxury to pursue as a Real Man in the Real World with Real Responsibilities #and when you live like that especially due to your own choices anything that seems like a luxury you view with a certain level of contempt #so he's like 'heh must be nice to have time for boyfriends' in the most condescending and degrading way imaginable #in the same way he probably treated sam's affinity for academia #in fact i'd argue a lot of what we see from dean with regards to the way he mocks sam for certain things is probably just echoes of john #and what's REALLY crazy-making is the way most of these things dean mocks sam for early on later prove to be things DEAN actually does enjo #dean likes to read and he loves chick flicks and he gets excited about tomatoes and enjoys dressing up nice #dean learned early on that certain things were not acceptable for a Real Man from john bullying him out of doing them #and he does the same to sam #and one of the things he consistently mocks sam for in the beginning is his perceived sexuality #and sure we could just chalk that up to stereotyping but EVEN THEN that jives with the idea that #john simply put his own queer desire in a box labeled 'weaknesses real men don't have' along with idk a love of reading and salads and bein #emotionally vulnerable and sincere with people you love #and then he told Dean 'this is the box of forbidden things' #and dean the ever-dutiful son learned his lesson well

[incesthemes]

hey girlie it’s me, sam winchesters gay lover, your mootie 🥰🥰🥰 i just wanted to let you know, that your tags on the post about that wincest video are based and i agree with every word, hashtag slay couldn’t agree more i loved reading your essay in those tags heart ❤️

omg thank you!!! i'm basically only capable of talking in essays whether people want me to or not, unfortunately

i just have a lot of feelings on this topic and the whole "canon or not canon" argument is weird to me; the themes are pretty darn clear in supernatural (it is NOT known for its subtlety) so idk man. they don't have to kiss to be canon. and they don't have to have a romantic relationship to be canon either. how many times do they get into relationships with other people only for it to be treated as cheating/betrayal/abandonment, only for them have to give up that relationship in order to reaffirm their devotion to their brother

that's just what the text says. i'm not under any kind of delusion that they have some secret sexual or romantic relationship, but that doesn't change that sam and dean are each other's most important person regardless of that. which is really awesome imo, that romance isn't treated as more important than whatever horrible thing they have with each other, and that they don't have to consummate their relationship with romance/sex in order for it to be the most important one they have

(and of course there's romantic/sexual subtext, like parallels and metaphors and misunderstandings and jokes, but to me that just provides a solid foundation for presenting this relationship between them as the most important even though it's not romantic or sexual—because this language of romance is the only one we know, really, when it comes to writing important relationships between characters. it's the only one we know in our own personal lives, to a large extent. so you use the romance/sexuality to symbolize the actual bond they have. which is so much worse lmao)

anyway i think spn is fairly unique in this way because of how no other relationships can really ever stand parallel to the one they share; even in other shows that center male friendship, romance is allowed to coexist with brotherhood. for sam and dean, it's not, and that becomes a point of tension and conflict and resolution many, many times over the course of the show. so like yeah!!! just because it's not romantic or sexual doesn't mean it's not canon, in the sense that their relationship is the point of the show, and it is the most important relationship they have. they chose each other above all else, every single time. yknow, it's "the epic love story of sam and dean" and all that

#ask #sorry. i did not intend to write another essay about this #but as i said i am only capable of talking in essays. my apologies #to be honest the only reason i have so much to say about this is because i have seen some truly baffling takes about what sam and dean are #and every time i see one i have to sit here and think about it. like how did you arrive at that conclusion. what are you watching #mostly in terms of like. people saying sam and dean are not weird and codependent and enmeshed with each other #that's just blatantly not true because again. this show is about sam and dean and their relationship. textually subtextually metatextually #the concept of even having to defend their relationship as canon is as confusing to me as having to defend umm rubysam is canon #or something #like it happened. they were together in canon. we saw them have sex. you can't say rubysam isn't canon because it's right there #same thing with sam and dean. the difference is the nature of their relationship and the fact that i guess people don't want to like #think of it as canon when it's not romantic???? #it's such a no-brainer kind of thing. like the fact that i'm sitting here trying to explain myself is embarrassing me bc it's like #no shit sherlock #but again the only reason i am thinking about this so much is because i keep seeing people trying to deny or downplay their relationship #in the first place #which is BIZARRE to me #like idk i don't see people trying to deny that ummmm fuck. killua and gon hxh aren't canon friends #that they don't even like each other #wow i'm seriously rambling. apparently i have more to say about this topic than i originally conceived #idk man i get people are uncomfortable with incest but the point is that it's like. not. their canon-ness is not related to incest #they're just insane about each other and they are each other's most important person. they are more important than romantic pursuits #the uniqueness is that it trumps all other relationships and cannot coexist with any others. that's what's so canon about it #it's not just friendship. it's not just brothers. it's not just husbands. it's everything and nothing and so much more all at once #shrugs. sorry for rambling AGAIN #i hope i'm making sense here #supernatural #wincest #spn posting

[drum-bot-brian]

i hate it when people make it seem like sam had a good childhood bc dean kinda parented him! like obvy dean did but in the show hes clearly shown to be just a normal teenager who went on a bunch of dates too? he left sam im pluckys for like hours and sam was pretty severely neglected bc dean started hunting with john and leaving sam alone? like this isnt anti dean bc he was just doing teenager things and trying to spend time with his dad but we need to consider the fact that sam had a imaginary friend at like 12 bc he was so lonely and ran away when he was a kid bc he hated hunting (read john) so much! like sam would have known how hard it was to be a kid and he valued his studies a lot so it must have been bad for him to have run away. all those people he thought he was not taught how to hunt need to remember the fact that sam was given a gun when he was still scared of the dark. and even if he wasnt hunting do you thing john winchesters kid wouldnt know how to defend himself? also consider his heavens being when he got away from his home? his random thanksgiving when he was like 13 was better than any times he spent with his family basically

#ALSO in john winchesters jornal sam left at 19 bc he had to repeat a yeat bc he moved around to much #this isnt part of the most so much as something that makes me almost cry #PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SAM AND DEAN BOTH HAD IT BAD #FANON HAS POISONED YOUR MIND #if i read one more fic where dean is being abused and sam doesnt know i will rip organs out #like i wasnt abused but from personal experience if you talk shit at parental figures your more likely to be hit #then if your trying to stop you stupid sibling from getting hit #im not saying that john hit them #but the people who think they did #why do you think john 'i want to kill my son sam' winchester #was only hitting dean

[bugsbenefit]

it's actually baffling to me how much backstory and info we're still missing on the events surrounding the lab, there's so many Major blank spaces

we got Henry giving his childhood backstory from before he was taken there and we got El's memories regarding the massacre. but there's SO much missing here we are completely in the dark about, like, okay i'm just thought-dumping here:

1.) when did Henry actually get the Soteria implant?

we only know that he Had the Soteria, with little to no details on the actual history of the device, and we'll definitely get more exposition on it in s5 with how it was only introduced in s4 with no pay off for it. but the question remains. did Brenner implant it while Henry was in his coma right after he took him? suppressing Henry's powers immediately wouldn't align with Brenner's aspirations of experimenting on and with powers. on the other hand, if he didn't immediately implant it, wouldn't Henry just attack him? especially when he was inflicting pain on him while forcefully tattooing him? so surely Henry must have gotten the Soteria very early on. but that would also imply that Brenner could never do any actual tests on Henry like he did the other children and just sadistically shocked him for years when he disobeyed which is very oh no actually

2.) also. when did the children actually start coming in?

Henry killed his family in 1959 and is the first child Brenner took in. but did Brenner start stealing children right after that? because the MKultra experiments that seem to be the cause of the babies abilities started all the way back in 1953, long before Henry would get taken in. MKultra went on until '73 so that explains the ongoing stream of new children coming in of all ages, but does that also mean that there would be children with powers born pre '59 that Brenner wasn't aware of/didn't take? did he take them when they were older or are there just random older people with powers running around from the early days of MKutlra? we also have no canon ages for the children in the lab, but roughly referencing it to the actors they would range from 8 to 20 years old in 1979 at the time of the lab massacre (even though the 20 year old actors could also be intended to portray older teen children) which means that even the oldest kids we see, two, three, four, etc. were all born post Creel massacre. so what happened to any babies born pre 1959 is unclear

3.) what's the actual correlation between MKultra and powers?

the show presents El's powers as stemming from the experiments her mother went through. however, since her mother Also displays some form of psychic ability when El visits her... did the experiments actually give her some weak powers too? and was that intentional or a side effect? MKultra already existing a full 6 years before Henry ever moves to Hawkins and presumably crosses paths with Brenner implies that accidentally giving babies powers was truly an insane side effect. or did Brenner actually already know about the existence of potential psychic powers before he met Henry? did he only realize the true extent of psychic powers when he took Henry or was he already trying to conduct research on psychic abilities when giving people like Terry Ives psychedelics and LSD? was the actual intent of the experiment really mind control research or was he trying to create psychic soldiers already and just failed to give the parents powers, at least strong/usable ones? (and the psychic babies later on were a lucky result of that for him)

4.) literally what's Kali's deal?

we learn Kali was taken when she was already Much older from an article in a newspaper, not a baby. why was Kali so old? also why is Kali British? we don't hear all the numbers speak, so we can't tell if Brenner stole more children from outside the US but Kali stands out as of now. was her mother even involved in the American MKultra experiments? did she just move to the UK before she had her daugher? or do Kali's powers have a different source, possibly like Henry's who also doesn't seem to have a connection to any lab involvement prior to his birth. that could also explain why her powers are completely different to the other children. not only is she seemingly the only one there that's able to alter the perception of reality, she's also completely incapable of telekinesis which most other children seem to be at least somewhat capable off since the circle fight is a regular test. also. Kali got out? how? with her powers, yes. but why is she the only kid that got out from a writing perspective. all kids in the lab died expect for El, the sole survivor and also strongest kid there... and also that other girl she met once on a trip to Illinois that luckily left a few years before everything went to shit? what's Kali's deal with the timeline of the lab?

5.) and What is Owens' deal?

s4 proves that he knows a significant amount on Henry's murdering and powers. you could argue it's because he read files or because Brenner told him but we have no idea how deep his personal involvement with the lab actually goes. he's Brenner's direct replacement in s2, takes over the work with the gates, gets targeted by the government when they want info on Brenner/El, and even functions as Brenner's right hand man in s4 where they also have serious disagreements on equal ground. he's not talking to Brenner like a superior and more like a long standing coworker. (on that note @wibble-wobbegong has some Sick Owens analysis btw, those slay and give some good breakdowns of his BehaviourTM!) we're left to guess how long the two have actually been working together. we don't see Owens in the flashbacks in NINA, so since when was he around? the flashbacks are personally selected by Brenner and only of short time frames, Owens could have very much been around by then as well. was he involved directly? just in the know of things but not actively helping? did Brenner really just fill him in afterwards? we have no idea

6.) also, why is Henry even a lab worker?? i'm serious

why does Brenner let him do that??? he's not conducting research on Henry since he has the Soteria, he also shocks him when he gets to close with the children. so why let him get close to them in the first place? why not just lock him up in a room? maybe let him work in the hospital as Peter Ballard if he's feeling nice? why keep Henry with the children at all when Brenner doesn't even want him to talk to them? and he's not even a normal guard, he gets special privileges too. he's one of the only personnel to actually get close to the kids in the rainbow room, but he's also in the rooms for the tests? why? is he supposed to assess them, since he has powers himself? but it's not like Brenner actually wants him to Help them or give advice, so? why is Henry near the children at all/ what is Brenner's motive for letting him in the testing rooms?

#so many questions so little answers #trying to make out a clear timeline for the lab history is making my head spin we really need more backstory there #and we'll most likely get that from an Owens Henry or Kali exposition since Brenner is dead and El already gave the major parts of her past #but still hhhhh i can't wait for s5 i need to know NOWWW #stranger things #st analysis #martin brenner #henry creel #sam owens #el hopper

I think I can allow myself to be cautiously optimistic about the upcoming The Count of Monte Cristo limited series, speaking as a Sam Claflin fan, rather than a fan of the book; compared to the agony I went through with DJATS. If they do screw up anything, it probably won't be to do with his character, seeing as Edmond's arc is the whole point of the story, and we can always rely on Sam that his acting will be immaculate. The role is the best opportunity to showcase his amazing range, taking into account the protagonist's journey and his various aliases--we don't know at this stage which ones they will use in the show, but they are sure to use some.

And who knows, maybe this time around people will actually appreciate Sam's acting, you know, instead of just everyone going on about 'cHEmiStRy'.

#sam claflin #samblogging #the count of monte cristo #more importantly: he's the only lead. everyone else is a supporting character #meaning: nobody will hog the limelight from him. nobody #no one in this as far as i can tell is a grandkid of any person referred to as 'king' #the most famous name is jeremy irons and he won't steal sam's thunder bc he has no need for that. if anything he will support sam #i'm still looking forward to see everyone in their roles ofc and getting to know them #i'll try and check out blake and mikkel before this starts #and it's a good opportunity for many young actors to make their name. all those that play the young characters #also hoping for a more mature audience and not so much focus on shipping. please. i can't go through that shit again #mypost

One of these days I'm gonna be brave and draw all my blorbos. Maybe even on the same page

#I have not drawn most of my blorbos before #partly because most of them are humans and I suck at drawing humans. so Im scared of messing them up #its also partly because I'm too flustered to draw them. a couple of them are my f/o's #and it just feels...weird to draw them yknow? it makes me feel so blushy and embarrassed #but I will try someday #there's other blorbos that I've been wanting to draw but haven't out of laziness (ex: spongebob) #so I might as well try and fo them all together #sam's rants about life

[beloved-ranger]

I’ve been lining out how Sam and Ciaran are as Dark Urges pre tadpole, and for some reason Sam is very manipulative, especially towards Orin, and also he’s a frantic whore. Ciaran is just an egotistical bloodthirsty abusive asshole who thinks he’s too good for everyone around him. Of course they both get attacked and tadpoled, they suck. The only difference is that Sam changes and starts becoming a good person while Ciaran gets worse.

Gortash and Sam get along and Gortash buys Sam nice clothes and takes him to the opera. Sam sleeps with Gortash because he wants to manipulate him and also because he has weird shit going on with his repressed sexuality (he feels bad after sleeping with Astarion and he doesn’t know why). Don’t worry he still loves Gortash, but in a very complex way that’s covered by all of the other shit he has going on. Orin sees Sam cuddling with Gortash and Sam takes this as a chance to manipulate Orin more.

Gortash and Ciaran obviously get along. But Ciaran is already an extravagant person so instead of the opera and nice clothes, their dates are along the lines of fancy restaurants and throwing things at people. Ciaran sleeps with Gortash because Ciaran thinks he’s untouchable. Also Ciaran has a very strong emotional connection to Gortash. Ciaran mocks Orin throughout all of this, because he sucks.

And because of course Orin isn’t going to get a break from either version of her cult leader brother, because I like telling stories.

#I love Orin. but she’s right there and alas that means she’s the one hurt most by Sam #not really by Ciaran. with Ciaran it’s far more just a power struggle #Sam’s redemption better be really fucking good with the way I’m making pre tadpole him #honestly it’ll probably be fun trying to redeem him #Ciaran stays evil so like. gotta make evil him as fun and despicable as can be #durgetash #the dark urge #urges they be dark #sam #Ciaran #bg3

Working on a gifset before hanging out with my friend coz multitasking but can’t wait for this and the other set to be finished soon

What I like about this commercial series is that they have Sam properly interacting with a Sam fan which is like !!! He’s not being asked about other superheroes/Avengers, he’s been asked about himself because he thinks Sam is cool and it’s just so nice to see

#personal #wip #look at this look he's giving this guy #oh to play video games with sam wilson lol #i am so happy to be getting out of the house outside of errands y'all i've been cooped up because of one of my family members getting covid #and it as just like the most stressful trying to stay away and mask and testing myself to make sure I don't have it and etc a long 2-3 weeks

the song remains the same au where Anna lives somehow, Michael didn’t finish the job or something, and it’s Dean being told he gets no choice, nothing but his destiny as Michael’s vessel, and he’s back where he was in Heaven and Hell with both Anna and Sam under threat, but god, this time he’s saving both of them, he has to. Pushed further towards saying yes not just because of his own failing faith that they can stop the Apocalypse, but because in that moment, he promises he will, if Michael will send Anna back with them. Reasons that she doesn’t belong there any more than him and Sam do, and maybe she’s been hurt so badly that she’s been knocked back down to practically human.

But the point is that Anna lives, and she tried to kill Dean’s parents, and failed, but at the same time, he gets it. He just tried to convince his own mom not to have him or Sam, and it all got erased. They are more like pawns than they ever have been, but they could still try to find something in each other. Some bit of lost tenderness. It’s the end of the world. Any night could be the last night.

#Anna post-Michael attack is blind btw. I feel like I should add that. her eyes did get literally burnt out her skull #they aren’t healed when they get back to the future either. #imagine if you will with me. Dean treating them. using all he knows about burns (and he knows a lot. probably got a couple bad burn scars #or did before hell anyway.) all the nasty bits of healing. Anna trusting him to do that. #but they do heal. Anna gets a cane. Dean finds a rhythm with her of helping compensate for her lost sense. #dean winchester was raised into a hunting dog. but he’s got to be a seeing eye dog now. he’s got to try. #something about dean giving heads up before he touches her. every time without fail. he gets it. #he gets associating most touch with violence. and he gets wanting to know when there’s kindness coming so that they can welcome it. #let Anna join tfw cowards. #more than just for Anna/dean reasons. #let her talk with Sam about being fallen. considered dirty and Wrong by other angels for making a choice. #let her be Cas’s sister. help him through his despair arc about being abandoned by god. #spn #dean winchester #anna milton #anna/dean #can you tell I just really love Anna god I really love anna
