A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
Based on these wonderful calculations done here I’ve started translating every transaction of latinum mentioned in the show and so I’m re-watching S6: E12 “Who Mourns For Morn?” And they mention that Morn’s net worth is 1000 bricks and so I calculated and that translates to-
Very Stylish, always keeps up to date with the latest fashion trends and tries his best to get Damar to wear some designer
Continuing with that line of thinking, he attends a lot of fashion shows, art galleries, concerts and really anything artsy. Small or big he's gonna be there to support the artists.
Sets up charity funds for struggling artists, musicians, designers etc. and uses his legal powers to meet his favourite performers and fanboy out
It’s the worst kept secret on Cardassia that Weyoun writes all of Damar’s diplomatic speeches for him
Pretty much always attends any formal or government dinner and practically drags a reluctant Damar along for the reason of “keeping the legate's good public image”
Damar relents and goes but only because he knows that it was technically his fault that the photo of them making out behind the bar at the last dinner blew up
Probably released his own makeup brand that probably bombed at some point
A PRO at dodging unwanted QNA questions, I mean it was literally his job since birth
On particularly stressful days for Damar, Weyoun will let him lie-down and use his soft fluffy tail as a head rest/pillow
Similarly, if Damar notices Weyoun overworking himself he’ll give him a scratch behind his ears which usually relaxes him pretty quickly
if i may,
the other archangels (or angels in general) see Michael in absolute distress and utterly wrecked and think "oh Michael's old vessel keeps bothering him, geeze that other half-Winchester must really be a terrible disgusting human and their time together must have been horri-" and then Michael smashes them into a wall. His eyes are not glowing in the powerful all-powerful way, their glowing in the way of someone who's lost their other half. He has tear stains because the one person who made him feel something, the one who taught him to love himself again, the only ONE that understood him and didn't judge him and treated him normally instead of a terrifying creature of God.
He doesn't beat the shit out of any angels for talking shit about his human though, because that's not what Adam would've wanted for him.
But one wrong word and he's ready to burn the whole empty down and tear it apart just to find Adam again, and hopefully explain everything to him. hoping to be held in Adam's soul embrace once more for all eternity.
sorry the mental image of adam sending a tentative prayer to michael asking him where he is and if he's doing okay and to come back soon after waking up post-15x19 and michael hearing it in the empty and growing so increasingly agitated that even the other archangels start to stay clear of him is taking up my entire brain. as if it's my fault
Happy Holidays from me in Australia where it’s hot as balls rn!!!🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎁✨🎁✨🎁✨
Wishing all you fellas, chicks, beings of the unknown, and other people currently alive at this moment a good holiday season with cheer, love, and most importantly: Christmas Fics💪💪💪
Another NSFW (kinda) Destiel Headcanon - this ones more story centric but still:
Cas doesn’t really get horny as he’s stated to Dean before - much to dean’s disappointment - but assured Dean that he still very much likes and enjoys sex with him.
This all changes one day.
Dean has to go undercover at some highly religious/Angel-worshipping cult town and is forced to wear traditional biblical clothing that includes a gold belt, white cloth that only covers the back and front, gold bracelets around his wrists, ankles, and neck, a gold headpiece and enochian writing displayed across his naked chest. And the enochian is a prayer to the angel Castiel, becasuse Sam’s sneaky like that.
He complains to Sam about how hippy he looks for awhile but then, just before they leave Cas comes out saying he’s ready to go and stops once he sees Dean.
His eyes go wide, he’s silent, and they’ve never seen him so still.
Concerned Dean asks “what’s wrong Cas? Cas?” Dean steps closer and cups the angels face, Cas still hasn’t reacted, it’s like his eyes are solely focused on Dean’s pupils. Really worried now, Dean leans in a little more and whispers “….Castiel?” The next thing they know every light in the bunker explodes violently.
For the entire hunt Cas is very smiley and noticeably more lovey-dovey and touchy towards Dean than usual. It’s like he’s been put under a love spell or something Dean thinks. They have a total of 5 heavy make out sessions throughout the case, and once they get back to the bunker they go 7 rounds.
Now Dean isn’t complaining, he just doesn’t know what brought all this on? because he’s oblivious. Although, he’s more than accepting to the extra praise, touchiness, and romance Cas has been giving him, maybe this new cologne really does work? He thinks to himself at one point.
In the end Sam keeps the outfit as a favour for Dean. Cas loves the outfit and is going to make Dean wear it as often as possible.
(If anyone writes a fic about this pls credit and link it to me👍)
Weird take but I have huge grudge towards the background actors in the diner scene in 15x08, not throughout the entire scene but just at the end when Michael smites Lilith, when it pans around to the rest of the diner none of them look afraid enough, they all just look mildly shocked (except that one girl on the table behind Micheal when he leans over the booth, that girl look traumatized and I appreciate it) and it just takes me out of his whole 'Archangel power thing that Jabel had going on.
The parallels that could be compared to this scene are craaazzzzyyy
Was so shocked when I saw this for the first time like he just said that he NEEDS Gabriel, Sam specifically needs Gabriel to what? be a hero? be his friend? be his lover? why you needin another man/archangel who you hunted down for months on end without the thought of anyone else and jumped at first glance to help heal him despite the fact that he killed your brother???? kinda gay if you ask me🤨🏳🌈?
fuck me man, talkin bout all this dang ol "Gabriel, I need you," what the actual heck, what in the heckin flying heck hwHAT this is a sick and twisted, demented game
I think the reason no-one on DS9 ever tried to make Odo and Quark get along is because the sheer amount of chaos power that they would wield if they'd got along with one another would bring the station to a fiery and destructive end.
I mean you all saw that little moment at the end One Little Ship (S6E14) where Odo was messing with Bashir and O'Brien about their height and Quark just sensed his mischievous energy from across the bar and saddled up next to him to join along the fun and they giggled together about it, those two would ruin countless lives.
i love midam sharing a body. i cannot get enough of it. its honestly one of my major dislikes when an author has them in seperate bodies.
no shame to anyone who does like them in seperate bodies, but it is so not for me.
like. that is THEIR body. its THEIR house.
youre telling me, after like 1200 years in the cage, where they were each others only solstice, they arent just a little codependent. they arent just a little bit nervous whenever they're seperate. that they dont find inherent safety and comfort in being able to feel each other's essence at all times.
and thats even before they were forcibly ripped apart by chuck. i cant even fathom how much worse it is after.
