supernatural but Sam and Dean find out there's a quite popular true crime podcast about their "crimes" all over the states, being referred to as the Demon Brothers — the irony is not lost of them — they are in the top most wanted criminals of America.

At first Dean is getting a kick out of it of course, he plays it in the radio of Baby while they're on the road to Sam's annoyance. He thinks it makes them sound badass being the criminals that have eluded police for so long, but he quickly sides with Sam that this podcast sucks ass when the girl narrating their lives —or at least, the public records available of them— starts to get it all wrong, accusing their father of somehow bring involved in the mysterious death of his wife, saying that the traumatic experience of losing their mother and being raised by an abusive alcoholic may have contributed to their depravity and devil worshiping, Dean refused to keep listening after that and just mumbled that it's a stupid podcast, Sam doesn't fight it on that.

You'd think that would be it right? Of course not, nothing is that easy for the Winchesters.

Some supernatural shenanigans make it so Sam and Dean are called over to a case in a nearby city, and oh how irony works that the girl being tormented by a vengeful ghost is none other than the author of their podcast.

They don't recognize her at first since she uses a fake name online, but she definitely recognized them when they came knocking at her down dresses as a repair man to check on a "gas leak" at her house, because had they listened a couple more episodes of the pod they may have heard were she went into detail about their MO of pretending to be government / city workers to get into the houses of their victims.

So she, understandably, freaks the fuck out.

She screams bloody murder and starts throwing things at them like her life depends on it — because it kinda does — until the commotion is so big the neighbors get involved and the brothers are forced to flee.

Now the brothers have to regroup and think of how they're going to solve this case when the authorities have already been informed that these extremely dangerous criminals are lurking around.

Dean feels tempted for a second to just leave and let her deal with this on her own, since she's made a living out of shit talking them online, painting them as these horrible sadistic murders when all they've done — all they've sacrificed — has been to protect the innocent. Sam and Dean always knew theirs was a thankless job but this time it was hitting closer to home than before.

In the end the brothers decide to do the right thing and find a way to help this girl whether she wants it or not, and it takes them sneaking into her house in the middle of the night, when they know the vengeful spirit of going to strike, and almost getting shot at by the girl —because america, she for a gun— and Sam being tossed around like a rag doll by said spirit before the girl starts to understand they're not what she needs to be worried about in this situation.

By the next day there's one vengeful spirit less to be worried about, another case solved, another live saved and maybe even a friend and ally.

The girl apologizes profusely once she understands the nature of their job and the reality of their actions, the brothers laugh about it a little, they can't blame her for being afraid, they know how it looks like from the outside, they only ask her to get her facts right before she starts misinforming the public about them in her podcast.

They know they can't change the way the world sees them and they're made peace with it, but it's still a nice surprise when a couple weeks later they can't find that true crime podcast of them online anymore, instead the girl starts a new series about supernatural beings and how to handle them. It's labeled as 'fantasy' as not to be taken too seriously but it seems to be an even bigger success than the true crime stories and it gets a laugh out of Sam, specially because this time she actually got her facts right.

Inho: im gonna join the game and destroy him

Gihun : 👁👄👁 🔪

Inho: ... what if i married him instead?

[delusion-is-back]

i feel insane even saying it but there was something so deeply hannigram about the frontman and gi-hun in squid game 2.

something something a cold blooded experienced killer who’s able to indulge his darker instincts from a position of power and privilege finds obsessive interest in someone he views as similar to him, only unwilling to submit to those base instincts because of his need to help other people. under the guise of being his close confidant, he slowly wears him down and takes him apart in a cat and mouse game he ends up far too involved in, manipulating his circumstances until the perfect second to reveal his own betrayal of the same creature he found so interesting.

i mean, the frontman looked almost satisfied when gi-hun suggested sacrificing people for the “greater good” after being so unwilling to cause harm, something that himself in episode 1 would have been horrified at. and that came so soon after the scene of in-ho himself, killing a man out of necessity so he and others could live just as gi was suggesting doing.

all they need is a homoerotic stabbing scene in s3 and they’re set.

[delusion-is-back]

I’m getting major yearning vibes from these two. It’s giving hannibal and will. I wanna edit them in a sad edit with Casual by Chappell Roan playing in the background

Being aroace is great and freeing until you find yourself laying alone in your bed at night crying your eyes out because you just want to know what it feels like to be loved

[delusion-is-back]

Wait it's this the Supernatural Spanish Dub incident again???

[delusion-is-back]

I know you’re probably super busy but I HAVE to share this with someone. I found this absolutely insane shirt at my job (thrift store) and it’s been killing me to imagine Silco in it

You can't drop something like this to my askbox and not expect me to draw something

Moms usually drop the kids off to their playdate, time for the dads to meet.

*slams fist on the table* you know what I want? I want a fic of Jayce and Vi in a lavender marriage

I want a story where Jayce Talis, young and successful bachelor of Piltover starts getting marriage proposals from some of the more powerful families in Piltover, all of them with the clear intent of getting their grubby hands on Hextech as it's being developed. And Jayce, not knowing how to tell those vulture to fuck off decides the best course of action is to fake already being married to someone he knows won't screw him over.

His first choice is Cait, she's the single daughter of the Kiramman house, she would be a perfect match except for the fact that she's like his little sister, just the thought of suggesting a marriage to his openly lesbian little sister makes him want to barf, he can't ask her that. Plus he doesn't fully trust Cassandra not to take advantage of their fake marriage when it comes to hextech and he would rather not risk it.

She other obvious option would be Mel, another member of the council they would make the best power couple in Piltover but again, it doesn't feel right to ask that of her, Jayce knows that Mel would understand his predicament and help him but it would be serving Hextech in a silver platter to Ambessa if she got wind of her daughter marring the Man of Progress.

The list of women he would ask this is very short, while all of this is going on Jayce realizes he really needs to make more friends.

Jinx is not an option, not even a consideration she would kill him for even asking and he would rather take his chances with the vultures than with her.

That only leaves one, the one person he really, really didn't want to ask but realistically was his better shot at.

Vi would laugh at him for two solid minutes until she realizes he's being serious, followed by Vi trying to carefully reject him because "You're a cool guy Jayce, but you're really not my type" which Jayce would sulk on later but for now he really needs Vi to agree to help him with this before he loses his mind.

It takes a lot of begging and a lot of yapping, a lot of appealing to Vi's good heart and the danger of Hextech falling into the wrong hands before she starts to listen. Vi doesn't understand why Jayce can't just tell them to fuck off but that's rich people's problems she doesn't really wanna know about. Until she finally, reluctantly, agrees to do him this one solid because in all fairness she took his gauntlets and never gave them back.

And so Jayce makes a public announcement to the investors who kept bugging him with marriage proposals to, respectfully, fuck off because the man of progress already has a wife. Now that's out of the way, another problem surges because Jayce Talis is not very good at evaluating the consequences of action, because now the council and the people of piltover want to meet Mrs. Talis.

Stuffing Vi in a formal dress is no easy task, for one because none of Cait's really fit her, and those that do are a little too long and Vi already stated that she's not wearing heels, she can handle a dress but those ankle snapping heels are off the table, it's her regular shoes hidden under a long skirt dress or nothing.

Taking Vi to a formal event felt like dragging a bull into a china shop and locking the door, Jayce's behind didn't unclench for the entire night as he shuttled her around the uppercrust of piltover, they'd made up some bullshit story about Vi's past since being a former inmate of stillwater was not a very compelling story. If any members of the council recognized Violet they didn't say anything.

Now you may be wondering where is Viktor in all of this? Wouldn't he have something to say about it? Well he's just enjoying the shitshow from the sidelines, because Jayce Talis forgot one crucial thing about the whole thing; there's no such thing as homophobia in Ruterra, and if the issue was Jayce finding a spouse quick Viktor would've been more than willing to play along for the sake of protecting Hextech, but before he could even suggest it Jayce was already digging his own grave and it was way to entertaining for Viktor not to sit back and watch it all go down. He would tell Jayce how dumb his plan was another day and watch the realization hit him, but for now he's just having a good time watching Jayce Talis trying to handle the toughest pink haired lesbian of all of Zaun.

"Jayce will understand."

Dude, Jayce would have gone down to the undercity himself to buy Viktor more Shimmer when he ran out, I'm still reeling at how big of a fakeout that line turned out to be

[delusion-is-back]

I say this with all the love of someone who has watched Arcane more times than I can count and who is planning on getting a tattoo of it. But Vi decline as a main character needs to be studied.

TW: Big spoilers and correct opinions.

I really need someone to explain to me how Vi went from being a main player in season 1, a force that was constantly moving the plot forward thru her actions, to a secondary character who barely had any agency on the events of season 2.

Now I'm of the belief that there are no main characters in Arcane because all events are caused by a series of decisions made by multiple characters at once who all have the same amount of agency and who eventually connect with each other, but writing-wise Vi and her relationship with her family was always at the center of the events in season 1.

In season 1 act 1 she was the one that took Powder and the other boys to steal Jayce's lab, in act 2 she was the one that went out of her way to find her sister, in act 3 she was the one pushing Piltover to take action against Silco.

She always had agency and control and most of the time was following her own plan.

But then season 2 happens and suddenly she's demoted to a secondary character who only follows everyone else's lead.

The idea of forming an elite group to hunt down Jinx was Cait's idea, going after Warwick/Vander was Jinx's idea, healing Vander was Viktor's idea, going to war against the Noxian was the climax of the plot so of course she would be dragged into it.

The only real instance of agency Vi had in season two (that I can think of) is when she stops Cait from shooting Jinx in act 1, it feels like the only decision she ever makes on her own and everything else was her going with everyone else's flow.

She goes from a main player in the show to a side character.

And yeah I get it, in season 2 everyone's actions come back to bite them in the ass and that makes it harder for Vi — who has already been bitten in the ass several times— to stand out as a character, but still it left a sour taste in my mouth because I love Vi and she was one of the best characters in season 1.

Again I say this with all the love in my heart but I believe we should be able to point out the flaws in our favorite media, specially in a show with so much thought put into as Arcane.

mutually assured destruction

[delusion-is-back]

How do you call a girl that's not really your girlfriend but you've know each other for years and you talk everyday and she tells you about her problems and you tell her yours and you comfort each other and she knows everything about you and you tell each other that you love each other but you know you're not exclusive because she occasionally hooks up with people and you're genuinely happy for her because she deserves to feel loved and you got matching tattoos and she knows all your family drama and your insecurities and the things that keep you up at night and she's the closest thing you've ever had to a girlfriend like you have the emotional bond of a couple but you're only just friends and you've never wanted to make it official because you have commitment issues and you don't want to ruin what you have together so you never bring it up but a part of you is always yearning for it because turn out it's all long distance you the thought of meeting her in person terrifies you because you fear not being what she expected if you ever meet in person and you just love her so much and she loves you but like you're only friends.

Like what do you call that?

[delusion-is-back]

i have nothing to say except i’m coping !
