This honestly deserves a whole post but it requires reliving some... past memories soo I'll probably post that later

PRO TIP: instead of thinking “i should be healthier/more organized/etc,” change your phrasing to “i’d like to become healthier” or “i’d like to learn to be more organized.” stop paralyzing urself with guilt for what you aren’t & start focusing on what you can be

when u used to be the topper before covid who participated in everything and got good marks and won at everything so now everyone has high expectation of u but youve let yourself go during covid and now you get bad marks and dont win at anything and you KNOW you could if you tried to but u just cant get yourself to try and do anything and you feel so guilty and you'va also become unfit and you have to reduce your weight but u can stop eating junk and hate exercising also everyone else is getting better at everything and people who used to look up to you or ask you for studies now are the ones u have to ask and they keep going forward while you're going backward and you know you keep disappointing your parents but they are so good about it and dont say much and they will support you in whatever you do but you just dont want to do anything and again you feel so guilty and olympiads are also coming and you havent studies one bit and the other kids are so good at everything you dont know how and you REALLY wanna get your life back on track but you dont have any motivation and where do u even start

supernatural came out in 2005.. brokeback mountain came out in 2005 (with its hetbait posters).. dean loves cowboy movies.. thinking about 26 yo, mid s1 dean…. john is still off by himself looking for intel on yellow eyes. the boys have just done a string of back to back to back hunts, staying up most all of each night hitting the books and they’ve finally reached a break in the clouds and have a night off. sam passes out around 6pm and dean.. unsurprisingly can’t sleep, he’s restless he’s bored and alone with his thoughts and decides what the hell when’s the last time i had a free night i’m gonna go try and catch a movie. so he grabs the keys and his jacket (he doesn’t have to grab his shoes because he never took them off in the first place) and is half way out the motel-room door when he remembers sam, and that sam’ll probably freak out a bit if he wakes up to an empty motel room. so dean scrawls a quick note, leaves it where sam will see it, and heads into town.

I'm blogging this cause this is genius

There’s a trope known as “What You Are In The Dark”, and it’s really useful for showing your audience what kind of person a character is.

It’s essentially where a character, usually- but not always- the protagonist, is in a uniquely tempting situation. They have the opportunity to do something they want to do, something that’s selfish and usually, objectively wrong. They WANT to do it on some level, it’s a benefit, and there won’t be any negative consequences for them. And the cherry on top: Nobody who’s opinion they care about will ever know what they’ve done.

Sometimes, it’s something like not saving someone who was horrible to you. Sometimes it’s a little more active, like an alter ego they can use to express their desires. But it’s always, metaphorically speaking, “in the dark”. Nobody sees, or anyone that sees doesn’t know it’s them, or nobody they care about sees and knows it’s them.

What the character does in that situation tells the audience who that character really is. What they’re like under any facades or pleasantries they may put up. What you are in the dark defines you. You are at your most YOU when nobody is looking.

Usually, if the character is a hero, they’ll throw away this opportunity. They’ll face the little voice whispering, “No one will ever know,” and tell it, “I’LL know.” Because they know whatever they have the chance to do is wrong, and they know they’d be torn up about it. Even with no external restrictions, there’s a little guiding force telling them to do good, or at the very least, NOT do evil.

If the character takes the opportunity to do something bad when no one is looking, they’re not a good person.

And yes, this trope CAN be invoked accidentally.
