what was bucky calling himself in romania? did he use the romanian variant of James (Iakob) when he talked to people and had to give them a name? how did he even learn romanian? does he have romanian heritage? did he learn it during the war? how did he pay rent? was he working in construction or as a line cook or something? did he have a little old lady as a neighbour who thought he was too skinny and lonely and forced him to eat with her at least once a week? did she make him help with cooking so he could make the food himself? did he go to the orthodox church with her? did the local kids like him? did he cut his hair himself or did he brave going to a barbers to keep it at a length he liked? did he like talking to market sellers about fruit because it was an easy conversation and a way for him to get used to socialising?
i have SO many questions about bucky in romania
So you make Sam Winchester drink demon blood. But where's the brotherly parallel? Where's the goodie counterpart? Why not the blonde brother sucking some grace out of, oh I don't know, his best friend angel. Why.
When... when they... 10 years later...
Imagine showing up to work one day and people are like "jesus fucking christ there's a corpse in here", herd you to the back room and everyone who sees you also agrees that there is now a dead body where you are sitting, with the appropriate amount of shock and disgust about it. You figure it's some kind of a prank that they're pulling, but also the people that you know aren't into pranks, or aren't very good actors, are treating you like a corpse. They go weirdly back and forth between talking about you as if you're not there, and politely asking you to stay still while they figure out who you're supposed to call in case of a dead body randomly appearing.
Paramedics show up, study you thoroughly and agree that while they can't see any apparent sign of death, you are, indeed, dead, and ask you to climb aboard the ambulance. You're taken to the temporary corpse storage that hospitals have.
On the way there you ask them whether this kind of shit happens often, and while they won't look at you, the paramedics agree that they've never had a talking corpse before, though they won't question the fact that you're moving on your own.
You're eventually led to a morgue, where you're shown a slab to lay on, and at this point you don't really even question it, you just climb onto the Corpse Shelf and lay down, maybe have a little nap, with no idea what's going to happen next.
Then you wake up to someone walking into the morgue, who has the shit scared out of them when you move, and they're like "dude what the fuck, you're not supposed to be here, this place is for storing dead bodies" and when you're like "aw man sorry I thought I was a dead body" they have no idea whether you're joking and they don't care, you're just chased out of there.
And you just kinda go home and take a shower, show up to work normally the next day and nobody questions it.
And basically that's probably how those ants feel when scientists spray them with the Pheromone That Dead Ants Smell Like, and just hang out at the dead-ant-pile until the smell wears off.

Bold of shows to try to decide who's the main character. I think that's up to me.
hey
I wanted to ask that nothing really exists? Like everyone I see I know like you don’t exists? Like im the only on who exists? N im just making all this up? But like how you can realize/remeber yourself when you don’t exist n only i do ?
I hope you understand wht im trying to say 😭
When People say “nothing exists as it seems,” it doesn’t mean that everyone else is somehow unreal while you’re the only real thing. It’s more that everything you seem to experience—you, others, objects, thoughts, feelings—are all appearing within Awareness, within a single, undivided reality. Nothing is “more/less real” than "anything" else; it’s all equally (=) appearing and dissolving within Awareness.
Imagine the effect of a "dream". While in the dream, everyone and everything seems real, including the “you” that seems to move around in that dream. When you wake up, you realize that everything in that dream—whether it was people, places, or events—arose from the same source, not separate from the dream itself. But this doesn’t mean one thing in the dream was real and others weren’t; it was all equally dreamt.
In the same way, the “you” and “others” appearing here are all expressions within Awareness itself. There’s no separate, isolated “you” who is imagining everything else; rather, everything—including the sense of “me” and “you”—is arising within the same field of Awareness.
So, it’s not that “you” exist while everyone else doesn’t, or that only “you” are real. It’s that everything you experience, yourself included, isn’t as separate or distinct as it seems; it’s all simply the appearance of "Awareness". This doesn’t diminish anything or anyone; instead, it reveals that "everything" and "everyone" is not actually "everything" and "everyone". It's all equally "THAT".
dean absolutely prints out a picture of cas and puts it at the top of the Christmas tree and grins at cas and says “look, my angel on top of the tree” and cas rolls his eyes and is like “really, dean?” and dean is laughing brightly and he’s so damn proud of himself
It's the fact that frank castle doesn't love himself and he thinks he deserves to be alone for the bad things/actions he did in the past and continues to do but he didn't realize yet that he needs and fucking deserves to be with someone who loves him and appreciate him for what he is. What really strikes me is the concept of found-family that works so well for this character: he found, across his path, a new family (after loosing his real one) and yet he doesn't want to have anyone around him bc he thinks he doesn't deserve it bc in the end is a serial killer, a monster that should be banished and punished for what he's done. He's too evil to deserve amazing people in his life who genuinely cares for him. Even if he decides he's worthy enough to get close to anyone, he doesn't want to get emotionally invested in this. If he let his guard down for a moment, bad things might happen to his new family and he'll be devasted and probably would never recover from that. That's why frank pushes everyone who shows the slightest interest in him (es. karen) away bc he's scared of the person he has become and doesn't want to corrupt the only good thing that has ever happend to him, that is to say karen.
In this essay i will explain why kastle is a metaphor of "the beauty and the beast"...
