I’m a firm believer of the idea that the writers had to get Cas and Dean to stay away from each other as much as possible in season 9, especially after everything that happened before, during, and after their time in Purgatory—like Goodbye Stranger, for example—because if they stayed together, destiel would’ve already been canon.

So just imagine if Gadreel wasn’t a dick who was being used to keep them apart, and they let Cas stay inside the bunker. Cas is human, complete with fresh, new, and intensified human desires. Who’s also canonically in love with Dean, by the way. As for Dean, that motherfucker literally almost confessed in season 8. They wrote an entire subplot about Cas being brainwashed with the intention of breaking him out of it by having Dean confess his feelings towards him. By telling him he loves him.

Do you fucking see where this is headed towards?? THE natural progression of these events??? That the writers had set up and trapped themselves in?????

Human Cas safely staying in the bunker with Dean would’ve been such a perfect environment for more intimate moments between them. And they couldn’t risk that. Dean having to guide Cas through mundane, day-to-day human things he never had to deal with before literally sounds like the plot of a cheesy romantic series I’ve seen. Which makes me wonder about what the hell took place between the night Dean stayed with and took care of Cas after their fight against Ephraim, and the morning when he drove Cas back to work. That was one of the few moments in that season where they could be alone together. And also something that they chose to skip over.

gg buddy am I right (ethubs doodle that I don't know what to do with)

okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

Ok im awake now so i drew some more kinito

The trash drawing is from 2017 or 2018. I just wanted to redraw it to see improvement haha

into the deep end - 30k T orufrey fic, focusing on memory trauma, disability, and romance.

the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the other.

for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.

the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.

but they were never whole to begin with, were they?

qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.

olly says nothing.

Points at you. 10 and/or 11 for starstruck?

#10. What's an au you have for them?

Since them meeting at all is technically an AU i have 3 different ways that they do meet up. There's the one where Juniper ends up with the agency/adjacent to and ends up working with Reggie (have written a fic with this). The next one is Juniper surviving but basically going stealth and living as normal of a life as he can and ending up meeting Reggie through chance (most recent fic I've written). And then there's my personal favourite where Reginald "You're lucky my tracking skills are still up to snuff" Crane keeping himself busy after Phoenix was MIA and finding Juniper still alive (fic I want to write but haven't started mainly because it may end up multi chapter).

In terms of more AU canon bending taking them and putting them in a completely unrelated situation...I have a guilty pleasure Warrior Cats AU for IEYTD in general. Both JJ and Reggie have perfect warrior cats suffixes in their names already (Juniper and Crane) so they're called Junipersong (charcoal bengal) and Craneflight (tabby Norwegian forest cat). It's very silly but the amount of scenes I have in my mind for it...good lord...

#11. How was their first kiss like?

Augh my friend Imp wrote an absolutely excellent fic about it (tragically in the realm of unfinished Google docs) and I'm shaking their hand about it so hard. Basically Juniper kissing Reggie but he like wasn't ready/fully expecting it and Juniper absolutely panicking because he thinks he's misread every interaction between them both since they got closer. The second one is much sweeter though,,

They make running away from the paparazzi look so sexy 🥴

( @sysba 🥰)

is al still from the same oc universe as his old gang? (wyatt, kim, etc) or has his lore changed through the years? ive been following for forever but i wasnt active for a long time so i missed some stuff lol

They are still from the same universe, yes!

I had just been thinking about how they'd still interact because well they are Al's closest friends... if there was more space in my brain I'd reintroduce em more especially since they could all interact with talon

I personally just get disconnected from old ocs because i realize my writing sucks and rewriting lore or coming up with new interesting things from scratch is Hard. they're just regular boring People ive already fixated on for a long time previously, not very interesting 😞

“Morning already? ’Should probably get to our tent before people start wakin’ up...Mmh?” “Mmmph... 😴” “... Or we can stay here 🧡”

Had the pleasure of working with @ziorre again, and she delivered SO HARD 🥺 I’m OBSESSED Thank you so much for this amazing piece 🔥

I get sent into a depression everytime I listen to Careless Whisper now ever since I got into lmk and at first I start laugh crying at the saxophone and suddenly it turns to actual sobbing

one of the biggest things i had to come to grips with art wise is that i can do realism pretty well but just completely fail at anything stylized. sure i can make a pretty picture from what i see but what does it matter when the only thing people take from it is "waow so good thought it was a picture" yeah its a compliment but its one that makes me feel awful bc i realize i do not want my shit to look like a picture. i FUCKING SUUUUCK at drawing and that isnt me being hehe quirky artist who says they cant draw and actually can i mean this shit is difficult as fuck and nobody would understand the extent to how awful i am at actually drawing unless they see me try to. all of my finished pieces were absolutely painstaking and i see ppl do the stuff that takes me many hours much quicker and with more personality with about the same experience shit makes me insane i am trying to learn but my god its like my brain just does not want to cooperate with me it makes it so so hard because i just have an awful mental block. genuinely used to just draw effortlessly (albeit not as well so at least i AM improving somewhat) but now even the simplest shit just overwhelms me. idk what it is. i like to think im pretty good with paintings but god it is so so difficult to do what i wanna without it taking far too long. i am so jealous of ppl who can do quality sketches on a whim. ive noticed i do a lot better blocking out a silhouette and then drawing lines over that when i sketch. makes me think im just not very line-brained?? stupid way to put it idgaf its 5 am. i dont wanna just whinge and cry about it but it is truly aggravating and so deeply frustrating to feel like im regressing in my ability to Just Draw because its undoubtedly a psychological thing. ive just been in this rut for yrs now its awful. thinking about buying a sketchbook again tbh

...

Me: I wanna be productive so bad! I wanna finish my drawings!!

Illness: how about barf up a lung?

I made like the stupidest design for my oc. And not stupid because it sucks but because it contains so many elements that I just can’t draw.

They’re

-androgynous

-fancy as fuck clothing style (wears the shirts that are often described as ‘medieval/royal medieval’ ‘vampire’ or ‘pirate’ like)

-the HAIR. OMG THE HAIR-

So I figured since this character who’s a bit posh in the way they liked to look, that he’d like a fancy/more complex hairstyle.

So tell me why I gave her shaved sides, top hair that hangs down a bit to cover their lazy eye (sometimes. They don’t hide the eye around their friend and mentality adopted cryptid child who also has lazy eye) and a long braided ponytail

Why. Why did I do this. I can never draw him. The fact that he’s black? Easy to draw, that doesn’t bother me. The fact that she’s tall? Not an issue at all. The fact that they’ve got a lazy eye? Kinda hard to draw but I could just look at references of my own eye easy peesy. But the clothes? The hair??? (Do not get me started on the fact that I have no idea how to draw any gender, and how whenever I draw a character fate basically decides what gender they’ll look like that day.
