Getting All The Sages In TOTK

When I find out the election results it better be from the goddamn Destiel meme, or I have failed as a supernatural fan and as a woman

okay but this is how hellers can still win

I’m in shock. Good luck from the UK xxx

oh yes it's that time of year again

Who else is ready to learn the results of the 2024 election via a Supernatural Destiel meme? Raise your hands.

So, THAT Clone X trooper...

is 100% definitely, undoubtedly Tech, yeah?

I mean, physically/literally:

His accent is different under the voice modulation

I stg those pained grunts as he lifted the stones were pure Tech

He runs in Creature Posture

The pocketses

He still doesn't give a fuck about following orders

But also narratively:

The lingering closeups whenever he's about to act in regard to the Batch. Is it consideration? Hesitation? They sure want us to wonder.

The story's repeated emphasis on Crosshair being able to anticipate his moves, and the way they match each other beat for beat the whole way down.

The fucking intimacy of the way he almost kills Crosshair. I mean the whole physicality of the fight, but especially the way Clone X had to stare into his eyes while he drowned him.

Why, as a writer, would you waste those story beats on someone who had no personal significance to the Batch? You just wouldn't.

know your history.

fuck.

the “are you in a minivan?” “yes” part though 🥵

(i swear only misha could make that sound so hot!)

ikr!!!

the reason i enjoy characters calling cas slurs so much is that as much as cas hates himself, it's never in an internalized bigotry way. like he's entirely fine with like... What He Is. what he hates about himself is What He's Done. like, the closest he comes to disliking himself for What He Is is being scared that no one likes him? but in general he's pretty fine with everything about himself except his choices.

anyway you guys might think that this post was inspired by cas' relationship to being gay but actually it's inspired by the fic i have in my head where cas is called into jack's school to talk to the counselor on like. an unrelated matter, and the counselor refers to jack's "difficulties" and cas is like "jack's what? jack, are you having difficulties at school?" and jack is like "no i love it here" and the counselor is like "no i meant his... you know..." and cas tilts his head like "his what?" and then the counselor spends ten minutes using increasingly rude euphemisms for intellectual/developmental disabilities before giving up and asking if she can speak to cas' wife, at which point cas is like i don't have a wife, and the counselor is like but your wedding ring... and cas is like i do have a husband. and the counselor is like thank god. my discomfort with this weird man's obvious disabledness overrides even my passive straight person homophobia. and then the husband is, you know. dean.
