#what a way to ask that question

"Alright," Dean sighed, sliding out from underneath the structure, tools in hand. "All good here. Did you manage to get your holes filled?"

You looked over at him, already smirking to yourself, when he seemed to realize what he had just said.

"Oh—Uhh—No! I meant—the drill holes! The holes in the—Ahh, shit," he swore, rubbing a hand over his forehead.

You couldn't help but laugh at his awkward, flustered flailing. "Dean, I know we're working on this job together, but that is not an appropriate question to ask someone you've just met," you joked. "I mean really... next you'll be asking me if I'd prefer to do it on all fours or lying down—"

"Okay, stop—" he laughed, still flushing. "I didn't mean—"

"I can't believe you'd ask me such a question! We've barely known each other for 48 hours!"

"I didn't—"

"I mean, I've heard stories about you obviously, but I didn't think you'd really live up to them," you teased him.

"Stop, you know I—wait—you've heard stories about me? What kind of stories?" he asked, hesitant.

You laughed and shook your head. "Oh, that you're just a huge flirt and have a girl in every city you work in," you said, crossing your arms.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay... the flirt part... might be true. But no way I have a girl in every city! That's—that's insane!" he retorted.

"So, what percentage is more accurate?" you said, laughing. "75% of them? 50%?"

Dean sighed and looked more serious. "Come on, you don't really believe that crap, do you? I don't—I mean, hunters don't get close to people very often."

Your expression turned more sincere and softened. "Dean. I'm totally joking. I have heard a lot of crazy stories about you, and Sam too to be fair, but I prefer to make up my own mind about people." He looked surprisingly relieved and your heart jumped in your chest. "But to answer your question, all the drill holes are filled," you laughed.

He gave you a sheepish smile and turned to get ready for the next phase of the job.

Prompt: "That is not an appropriate question to ask someone you just met."

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Was pondering how Mark’s rigid ass mask/lens is prob a Budget Thing (since squishy, bendy lens are pretty much a mandate for all hero animated series, like JL, BTAS, TNBA, Spider-Man, etc), and then I was slapped with a vision of Mark in a more JL/BTAS-ish style and I had to see it through. I am a genius btw.

just took a nap and had a dream about fantasy high junior year that felt so real, which was that at one point lou was trying to have fabian address gorgug but lou himself couldn't remember gorgug's name and instead just kept saying gundren, like he would try to talk to gorgug and just go "gundren. no, gundren. no. gundren. gundren?" and everyone else was shouting at him for not remembering gorgug's name and lou yelled "I ONLY HAVE SO MUCH SPACE IN MY BRAIN OKAY?" and then wrote GORGUG really big in his notes

the thinggggg the thing about kira and jadzia is that. jadzia is so so so full of joy and the measured, steady, unshakeable optimism of someone much older than she is. but she wasn't always like that, she was a lonely, anxious, nerdy kid who "grew up" 300 years in the span of a single medical/spiritual operation. and a big part of that experience was the dedicated training she got towards knowing herself, knowing her needs and desires and how to meet them, so that she wouldn't get drowned out by the rest of dax. right

and she comes to ds9 and she meets kira, a lonely, anxious fighter who was an adult by the time she was 10, who never had the opportunity to know more about herself than what was strictly necessary--that she is strong, that she makes a good leader, that she can do anything she sets her mind to. but she never figured out what she might like to set her mind to, because freedom was the only thing it was possible to want.

and jadzia sees her old self in kira's face, in the bowstring-tight lines of her, and jadzia takes her by those aching shoulders and says Hey. do you want to know yourself? do you want to know what joy is? do you want to play?

Sae Niijima is such a good character it drives me insane a little. She's not a mother nor a maternal or doting older sister but instead a twenty four year old who was thrown into a position of responsibility that she never asked for. She loves Makoto just as much as she resents her and its so apparent every time they talk up until November. "Are you studying?" (I want you to do well) (I need you to get a job and stop making my life harder) "I'll use any method necessary to get this promotion" (Life will be easier for us) (So stop distracting me with your problems) "Focus on your future" (I know that you're capable) (I can't afford to waste my time on you, so stop wasting time on others)

Makoto is not only the sole reason she pushes as hard as she does for a promotion, for success, and the reason that she loses herself in her animosity over her fathers death, but also someone she can't stand for so long. Makoto was 14-15 when their father died. Sae was 21. As soon as she got the career she wanted and things started to look up, her stability was robbed from her and she was disillusioned with the system that her father had taught her to rely on and completely adhere to. How do you manage, the daughter of a cop, following his footsteps towards law enforcement, when you're suddenly reminded of how unfair it is? You can't quit, your little sister relies on you and she's so young and struggling just as badly with this grief. So you pick yourself up and you get moving again. You push harder, press further. You abandon your morals and your ethics because punishing criminals (guilty or not) is almost like punishing the man who killed your father.

And the whole time she's fighting for promotions, going for drinks with the SIU Director to make herself more favourable for promotions, trying to navigate being a woman in a competitive, suffocating, male-dominated field, falling behind despite doing so much where others are promoted for doing so little - all the while your little sister comes back from school and her biggest issues are so small compared to yours.

Persona 5 revolves so heavily around grief and loss and change and Sae embodies all of that so well, all of the sharp and unpleasant and jagged parts of grief.

How about the early concept for tfe s3 that Prowl would have been an antagonist of sorts? Him basically representing the "dark Autobot side" that had been hinted on in the narrative.

Imagine the implications. The possibilities are ENDLESS.

That would be lovely actually yes~

Although the writers would need to make Prowl smarter in order for that to be possible. The Prowl we have in the show right now wouldn't be able to pull any kind of shady dark schemes haha.

But the concept is very delicious. Especially because every other Autobot in the show was squeaky clean so far. Decepticons were having aaaalll shades of complicated morals in them and all the Bots were just. The good guys. All of them. Perfectly good. Perfectly innocent. Every evil they ever did was forced on them by someone. Such pure hearts.

All I'm saying is. Either it's just a kids show logic. Or they are REALLY good at hiding their crimes. And considering that crimes are the necessary part of any war? Ahahaha yeah. I can easily craft an au here

And I would need juuuust a few tweaks with the scenario to make Prowl SHADY AS FUCK while also keeping his personality mostly intact.

(I'm mainly talking about the scene where Megatron demanded him to apologize for "what he did". If we remove the part where Prowl says that "what he did" was capturing Decepticons? And only leave him smirking and saying that his reputation receding him? Viola~ We have a shady Autobot second in command. And from now on you can't look at him being all goofy without thinking that there might be something else goin on)

watch me end up making a superdad au coz of WTNS

because!!! because i was thinking about how funny it is that Bruce's first two kids (Dick and Danny) would be superman fans, and how funny it would be if that influenced his opinion on Superman when they first met. And then I got to picking that apart, and how Danny's opinion and feelings on Superman would have the bigger impact on Bruce than Dick, since Dick's admiration for Superman (presumably) comes from the standard little kid "he's an alien and he can FLY" (and flying graysons) stuff. Which, while very very cute, is easy to ignore and disallow swaying feelings on.

But DANNY? It's not the same. While part of Danny's admiration comes from the same "holy shit he's an alien and can fly thats so COOL" vein, it also comes from a place of feeling deeply relatable to him. Both he and Superman were/are perceived as incredibly powerful, deeply dangerous creatures that are nigh impossible to stop, they have a handful of powers that are similar to one another, and they are (one of) the only ones of their kind. Superman is (one of) the last Kryptonian, Danny is (one of) the only Liminal in existence, and they might not be the same species but the principle remains the same and they're in the same boat.

As a result, Danny would just, god, he'd find so much relation in that. And yeah they're not the same but Superman would make him feel just a little less alone, a little more seen, and he'd find so much comfort in that.

And Bruce, by the time he meets Superman, would know by then about Danny's powers and his experiences and his time as Phantom and as a Liminal. And it's easy to ignore your kid's admiration for another Superhero when it stems from a place of plain hero worship or simple appreciation. It's harder to ignore it when your kid admires a Superhero because they make them feel seen and relate to them on a level you can't reach them on.

When that's the reason, how could he not think differently about Superman? When, by then, he's seen the scars left on Danny's body from all of his fights; when he's seen him cry and break down over never being able to fly again thanks to the blood blossom poison; when he's heard all about the struggles he faced with his powers, the fear he had about being found out, the fear he had when he was first developing them; and how he was ostracized by his city for his efforts just because he wasn't human, despite how much he was just trying to help.

How could he not look at Superman when they first meet, mask-to-mask, and have a little voice in the back of his mind go: 'my kid is a lot like you'

its making me emotional. if these feeligns persist im going to end up making a superdad au
