Pls, Cas

Dean was supposed to be tattooed but there was no budget, we all know this.

But HEAR ME OUT.

They could have heavily tattooed him up until season 4, where Cas, having to basically reconstruct him on a molecular level, would have brought him out of hell brand new, not a tattoo in sight, avoiding the problem of tattoo continuity.

Bonus points thinking about how Cas studied Dean every nook and cranny to be able to bring him back exactly as he was (think of that what you please)

Bonus bonus points (as pointed out by chronic overthinker @promisedcos) Cas knowing Dean so intimately he always saw beneath the tough exterior, bringing him back without the tattooed armour he had built for himself.

I might be working on a new fanart 👀

I’m happy? I think of domestic Destiel.

I’m sad? I think of Destiel making up after a fight.

I’m bored? I think about Destiel.

They mean everything to me and the (still very active) fandom make me feel less alone in this obsession, I thank you all 🤍

Shameless “I just wrote something I really liked and now you all get to read it” moment:

“But not now. In this moment, Dean just wanted to enjoy whatever this was, the electric crackle running through his body that he recognised as the anticipation of something good to come.

The calm before the storm, but in this case, the storm was the blue of this first responder’s eyes Dean could just feel himself drown into.”

Snippet from my Tattoo Shop AU Destiel fic coming out real soon (I PROMISE! Chapter 9 of 13 is being written). I’m so excited to start posting it 😭

NO BECAUSE the reason I’m so mad at CW’s show Supernatural is that they gave us, they actually gave us the perfect found family.

Dean, Sam, Cas and Jack, four people who most of all wanted, needed that, found each other.

And they took it away.

First ever fan art, please be kind 🤍

Dean Winchester from my Tattoo shop AU coming out soon (7 out of 13 chapters have been written) ✨

[nights-ofren]

Attempting my very first fan art ever. It’s still a work in progress ✨

I wanted to draw the Dean from my Tattoo Shop AU, so wish me luck 🍀 (aka hope I don’t hate in the morning)

This is the best thing I’ve seen this month

For the anon who asked me for a couple reasons why Cas would be good for Dean, here’s a few off the top of my head: 

1. To Cas, Dean is a role model.  A good person, and Dean needs to be with someone who appreciates this. And reminds him of it. 

2. Cas is forgiving, and Dean needs someone who will be gentle with him when he screws up. 

3. He’s willing to go along with the silly things Dean wants to do

4. Cas is someone Dean can hunt with (he needs that, with everything good that Lisa was, that’s what was missing–the hunting partner aspect)

5. Cas allows Dean to take care of him. To Dean, taking care of people (acts of service) is a way he shows love. 

6. Dean is willing to share, emotionally, with Cas, like he is with few other people. 

7. Cas is willing to walk into death with Dean so Dean won’t have to be alone

8: He’s equally willing to stay behind so that Dean will have the comfort of knowing Sam won’t be alone

9. Dean trusts Cas to do the hard things

10. And most importantly, Cas makes Dean happy

They only smile like that for each other

This.

This is the moment they fell in love.

And they both knew there was no turning back.

[nights-ofren]

lately I've come across a couple people both here and on tiktok that are now getting into supernatural and basically going "woah you destiel shippers were not kidding, I always thought you were probably exaggerating". And it's like we definetely were not, but I also wonder where this reaction comes from and I think I've got it.

We all know what fandom is, especially if we're talking about non-canon ships. We take the subtext and make it textual, we live in the crevices of stolen glances and romantic paralels. But most of the time there's another (straight) canon ship that the writers can use to queerbait us, being like "see? this is who he really wants". Take BBC Merlin, for example: the devotion and closeness between Merlin and Arthur is obvious, but it's easy to point at Arthur's feelings for Gwen and say "see? this is what's real. you're reading too much into it".

Destiel doesn't have one. The very (mysoginistic) nature of the show means neither Dean nor Cas have any significant relationships the writers could point to and show us the "truth" so there is nothing to distract from what's obviously happening on our screens. There is no great romantic storyline to tell us "this is who he really wants" so they are all that it's left and what's between them becomes undeniable. What's even worse, the other main relationship in the show is as platonic as you can get because Sam and Dean are related (let's ignore the existence of wincest please and thank you), so the difference between Dean's relationship with Sam and his relationship with Cas is so stark, so obvious, that is hard to even begin to compare them and try to paint them both with the same brush.

I know I'm just rambling but would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Congrats on 100 readers!! 🎉 For the celebration;

A soft, safe morning where Dean wakes up bleary eyed and groggy (per usual) and Cas lays beside him with a gentle smile (he’s been waiting for him to wake up for a while, enjoying the quiet in the meantime).

I hope you’re having a great day/night!

Thank you anon!! I hope you have the best day/night too!!

(I am doing a lil “drop your prompt in my ask box and I’ll write a Drabble for you” to celebrate 100 readers, if you’re interested pls join in!)

Here is your request:

Since Castiel had turned human, he had come to realise there was so much more enjoyment in little things.

Maybe being an eternal celestial being did not make you focus on the small details of human life.

But the way the sun rays, filtered by the curtains, softly danced on Dean’s face while he was sleeping, made Castiel finally realise why humans were so, well, human.

Castiel caressed Dean’s cheek with the back of his fingers, smiling at the constellation of freckles that adorned the hunter’s face.

He noticing how softer Dean’s features were, when he was not frowning, constantly worrying about Sam, heaven, hell or the end of the world.

The touch made Dean groan, and his long eyelashes fluttered open.

“You know,” the hunter croaked, before clearing his throat, “one of the perks of being human, is sleep, Cas.”

Castiel smiled.

“Good morning, Dean.” He simply answered, leaning in to press a kiss against his lovers forehead.

He felt the skin under his lips move, and understood that Dean was smiling.

“Sleeping is necessary, I understand that.” Castiel stated, as he moved back, leaning on the palm of his hand, perched up on his elbow so he could look at Dean once more.

“But I’d rather sleep less but get to see you wake every morning.”

Yes, Cas was smiling, but he spoke those words like they were the most obvious thing in the world.

Dean’s cheeks flushed red, and as always, when he was flustered, he didn’t really know what to do with himself.

“Sap.” Was all that the hunter managed to say, before wrapping his hands around Cas’s torso and digging his warm face in the former angel’s chest.

Cas ran a hand through Dean’s hair and lightly chuckled.

“I love you too, Dean.”
