i can't stop thinking about a destiel But I'm A Cheerleader au, with cas as megan and dean as graham...

i'm thinking cas is human but monsters are real. there's some sort of monster or ghost killing people at a conversion camp, and john sends dean undercover to handle it solo. dean is the openly queer loner who isn't taking any of this seriously (he smokes and he's got graham's fuckboy necklace), and cas is the good christian boy in denial about his sexuality. they start out annoyed by each other, but after cas sees something supernatural he starts helping with the hunt, and that's how they start growing close. they end up falling in love and solving the case and getting the camp shut down. and of course they stick together as hunting partners and boyfriends afterwards!

you don’t have to write something good. you just have to write something unhinged enough to edit later

oh do ppl make dean a jock bc he was on the wrestling team? that’s not a jock trait that’s a closeted boy trait constructing intricate rituals and also a “I need a healthy outlet for my aggression” trait and a “i’m a hunter and was raised as a soldier so i’m naturally good at self defense” trait. also, professional wrestling (which dean is canonically a fan of) I’d say is something closer to theater. If they wanted to make dean jock-coded they would’ve had him join the football team while he was at Sonny’s, which is both great for gay intricate rituals, letting out aggression + using his hunter skills, and is actually a jock-sport

the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

i think dean’s fear of flying isn’t so much rooted in a fear of heights (like that might be part of it) but i think the root of it is a fear of not having control over the situation and not having the ability to escape. like, with a plane he’s at the mercy of the pilot, he has to trust that the pilot will get him safely to his destination, he has no control over the situation and if things go sideways he can’t very easily escape the situation when he’s thousands of feet up in the air. i feel like he’d feel similarly about any form of public / mass transit. like he’d feel anxious and claustrophobic on trains or buses but at least those he could jump out of them if he needed to. this is why he loves driving so much, because he’s always in control, and if something happens it’ll be on him (he totally ignores the fact that there are other drivers on the road that could crash into him because even if that happened he’d still somehow make it his fault, obvs). but yeah, the point stands, he needs to at least feel like he’s in control of the situation, and planes are the ultimate form of transportation that requires you to give up all control and put your trust in someone else and yeah, dean’s not gonna do that

HOMEM COM H / LATIN BLOOD — THE BALLAD OF NEY MATOGROSSO (2025) – dir. Esmir Filho Ney Matogrosso is a legendary Brazilian artist known for his bold blend of music, dance, and theatrical performance. Rising to fame in the 1970s, he challenged gender norms and censorship during Brazil’s military dictatorship through his androgynous image and provocative art. Closely linked to the Tropicália movement, his work became a symbol of resistance and freedom. Ney Matogrosso has always refused to be confined by labels, maintaining relationships throughout his life with both men and women. In the 1980s, he witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of the AIDS crisis, personally caring for friends and partners who succumbed to the disease, including fellow singer Cazuza and the Dr. Marco de Maria, who was his partner for thirteen years. Now (2025), at 83, he continues to perform, solidifying his legacy as an icon of queer culture, gender expression, and artistic freedom in Latin America.

It's obviously necessary and good to teach children about consent and boundaries and reporting people who try to cross them, but! We do them a disservice by framing sex only in the context of potential abuse.

Exploration, desire, pleasure, are all good and normal and kids deserve to hear that in safe contexts before they're dealing with the entire hormone soup of puberty.

in conversations about sex education for children many people fall back on teaching children to recognize and, hopefully, report predatory behavior as the primary reason why this education is good, and obviously I don't disagree with that! when I educate my 4th-6th students, we spend a significant amount of time talking about boundaries and consent and drilling in to the kids' brains that they do NOT need to tolerate inappropriate touching or other behavior from anyone, not even adults who might try to pressure them into thinking otherwise.

BUT! but but but! I think it's also really important to remember that preparing for the worst case scenario isn't the only reason to educate kids about sexuality and their bodies! kids deserve to enter puberty understanding all of the changes they'll experience, and not just the growing and sweating. it's good for kids to understand the new desires they might start experiencing! it's good to know about intense new crushes and erections and wet dreams and sexual fantasies and masturbation! those things can be really, really scary and confusing for young people who don't have any framework to understand them, and it's really easy to feel like you're doing something dirty and inappropriate if no one has told you that sexual pleasure and curiosity is normal, healthy, and good.

good sex ed should help students feel comfortable and safe expressing their sexuality! that's crucial!
