Friend: What are you doing right now?

Me: I have a lot of projects.

Friend: Oh so cool, what are those? New job, new business, new home, new relationship?

Me: Ok, I have a lot of SPN/Destiel projects.

raffle: shellfish lover for clean amazon water

excuse my cringy title lol. it is what it is!

I’ve been looking at the Amazon Watch fundraiser Misha and Alex set up, and I think we can do even better. So I thought of doing a mini raffle :)

It's pretty straightforward: if you can show me proof of donation (15 dollars or more) (don't forget to censor your name on the screenshot of the email though)

you will get the chance to:

make a song suggestion for either a cockles, jensen, or misha centric amv (i'll use at least 1 min of the song, unless the song is shorter)

The song choice can be comedic, meta, or more sappy/romantic

I'm not sure if there's any interest in this but this is what I can do with the spoons I have atm. (please note that I can only start making these at the end of august)

If you want to participate, just shoot me a DM!

If there's more than like, 3 people I guess, I'll stick to the original plan of a mini raffle. If not, I'll just take the suggestions I got and get creating ✨

tbh the main cause of shipping wars is that jackles is too good at his job. Man has convincing chemistry with most of his coworkers, so depending on which scenes you focus on, you can gather a convincing argument for your ship of choice.

like if you look just at the first three seasons, j2 have such insane chemistry you have to be blind not to notice. (case in point, even my mother, who is otherwise a normal 62-y-o was like 'well that's not a normal brother relationship'). add the lack of significant alternative options, and it's clear why the early days had so many wincest shippers. Like, duh. You see two hot guys who look at each other with adoration (and lip-licking), brain's gonna ship. Fiction isn't reality anyway.

However, then comes s4. Now, I think Misha is awesome and funny and great, and obviously he and Jensen hit it off. Enough that it shows on screen. That said, the script was still written as Kripke intended, which is that Sam and Dean are obsessed with each other.

Because it's a fact, that Kripke read Siken's Crush, and also On the Road, and wrote Sam and Dean very much under that influence. And if you read either of those, you know they're about gay lovers.

So. There's a conflict between the script (which is samdean coded), and the acting (where jenmish actually gets more and more intense with time).

And the thing is, both sides of the fandom have solid 'evidence' on why their ship is (practically) canon. And it sucks to see people actually fight and insult each other.

I am a multishipper: I have an OTP but I see the appeal of other pairings and occasionally read those too. And I wish we could all see that plurality of opinions is good. Fiction is meant to be discussed, there isn't one correct answer.

At the end of the day, we're here to have fun with this trash show (affectionate), so maybe let's do that without judging?

thinking about jensen performing a destiel song on stage with misha and than turning into a cockles song last minute

In honor of the cockles chaos this weekend...

[brawlmetaknight]

if dark meta knight has been described as "the darkness inside meta knight's heart brought to life", then i tend to imagine he's basically just a more...well, DARK meta knight lol, as opposed to them being total opposites. and it isn't just those deep dark "unfavourable" traits like anger and pride he might personify, it's also insecurities. he knows EVERYTHING about meta knight, probably more than meta knight knows about himself. every secret he has, everything he's ever felt but held in and festered, that's what dark meta knight embodies. to me!

but i also like to imagine he's probably not as bad as he used to be, because meta knight himself has become a more heroic person and this has to "reflect" in dark meta knight somehow. which is perhaps why he was temperate enough to be doodling with the others in his star allies guest star ending pic, and also why he protected adeleine and ribbon in his character trailer. imo that spoke volumes not just for dark meta knight but for meta knight, implying that his chivalry still exists even in the darkest cockles of his heart (offering kirby a sword even though he was possessed by the jamba heart seems to point to that as well).

i'd say parallel meta knight is the most evil version of meta knight in my personal hc. he's meta knight if meta knight continued down a path of want for power and hatred of values other than his own. no friends, only subordinates. like, he (and phantom meta knight) are their own weird conjured beings, but dark meta knight and meta knight are kind of fundamentally connected.

Last Twilight, episode 1: reflections

TW: suicide

ALLLLLLLLRIGHT! Aof Noppharnach began our year with Moonlight Chicken; interjected it with Our Skyy 2 x Bad Buddy x A Tale of Thousand Stars, and bookends it with Last Twilight. I've got my cha yen ready (not too sweet), here we go, Last Twilight, episode 1.

Some quick notes on random stuff first, then themes I'm picking up on:

1) Yes, we had to have Doc Jimmy start a new series with a new fight, huh (and always in these bowling shirt/jackets, too)

2) Ajahn Pichai with the gold chain, sheeeet! (Listen. It's my OGMMTVC Bad Buddy Meta Month. Just about everyone working on this show on the screenwriting and directing team are BBS alums. The comparisons will be unavoidable!)

3) Why do I know Sea Tawinan? It’s not because I watched Vice Versa (I stayed away), but because he was great in a small role in 55:15 Never Too Late, AND, more importantly, homeboy wore an off-shoulder Fendi sweater WITH a blazer (CLAP EMOJIS) to some GMMTV event, which warmed my couture cockles. Much respect for the taste! (Poor @lurkingshan has had to literally hear about my fashion obsession with this get-up MULTIPLE TIMES, sorry Shan, palms together!)

4) Of the few episodes of Midnight Museum and UMG that I watched earlier this year, I was not impressed with Namtan Tipnaree, but I appreciate that she's starting off quite strong and moodily here. (Also, UMG's script did literally no human being any justice.)

@twig-tea has gathered the ragged and burnt out (oh, is that just me, lmao) Ephemerality Squad from the Only Friends meta circle to join them in a Last Twilight Liminality.... what should we call ourselves, the Liminality League? The Liminality Legion? Someone choose! Anyway, I am super down, and ready to start chewing on some themes. Twig captured the big theme of liminality, of time purgatory, and I totally agree with what you've gotten down in your post, Twig.

In the preview episode for this series, Before Last Twilight, we learn that Day has 180 days -- six months -- of vision left. At the same time, Mhok has 180 days -- six months -- to earn enough money to buy back his late sister's car.

In addition to liminality/time purgatory (this is only my coinage, btw, a way in which I can understand the moment in life this show is capturing), we clearly have a theme of cars and movement. Mhok is a mechanic. He wants to keep his late sister's car. The Bimmer that Night is driving is Day's car. Mhok has to get Day home on the back of a motorcycle as Night had to drive away while Day was wandering in the middle of the road. A car can move backwards only very temporarily, and will HAVE to move forwards at any point in time in order to get to another location (..... unless you're a driver from New Jersey, ayooo!). The car belonging to the late Rung is very much in purgatory at the moment.

We have a theme of sibling rivalry between Day and Night. Day was the success of the family, knows it, and hangs it over Night's head. And we have a theme of opposites. Day, Night, blind, seeing. I can play badminton, I cannot play badminton.

(BY THE WAY! We know we'll be reading more into badminton, AND in the rivalry of Day and Night, AND in the rivalry of Sea and Mark in this series, yes? Mark Pakin and Sea Tawinan are both national-level Thai badminton players who chose acting as their careers. They're facing off in some GMMTV BL sports tournament at the end of the year. I hope it's slightly aggressive! In Before Last Twilight, Sea actually made reference to his rivalry with Mark. Ooooh, TESTY!)

While I'm watching closely the tension between Day and Night, I'm also watching for the stress and pressure that caring for Day will put on Mhok, as well as Night and his and Day's mother. As many of us are watching Last Twilight very closely for accuracy and authenticity in reflecting the experience of a disabled person in an unaccommodating environment; I'm also looking to this show to hopefully capture stories of caregiver stress, which is an incredibly real and important phenomenon (relevant articles here and here).

As I always, always harken to in my posts: behavioral change is very real, and very difficult -- especially when behavioral change is forced upon an individual AND/OR a group, all of which contain very different emotional constructions. Day and Night's forced behavioral change, based on Day's vision condition, has very naturally and automatically caused stress in the group dynamic of Day's family system, as we saw in the outburst in Day's car. I wonder how Mhok will deal with that stress, and how he'll manage his own stress vis à vis caring for Day.

Last theme for now, and then some concluding thoughts. Mhok's emotional distance from his sister's suicide. He can't bring himself to connect with it directly.

I'm eating this up. It's certainly Mhok's way of grieving at the moment. He's also talking with his ex-girlfriend in both of these scenes. There's emotional space between him and Rung, between him and Porjai. And certainly there's simmering and unresolved anger as well -- honestly, the whole emotional circle. But Mhok, at this point, is not toeing the line of getting close to those emotions, and is engaging with the memory of his sister with distance, which is bound to be addressed vis à vis his connection with Day.

There's a lot of anger, a lot of regret, a lot of avoidance, a lot of dancing around the honest truth. Mhok and Day are likely conduits of emotional openness and steadiness to each other; we will see how it plays out.

What do I think of JimmySea? I'm not you're average Wai hater -- I really liked Jimmy as Wai in Bad Buddy. Because I didn't watch Vice Versa, I honestly don't know what I think about him in a lead role. So I am going in REAL fresh, knowing nothing about JimmySea's chemistry, and I like what I'm seeing so far, particularly with Jimmy's emotional control. I appreciate having seen a bit of the work they did together in Before Last Twilight to get to this series premiere.

Aof has done this before: he's recognized potential in pairings (specifically in Dark Blue Kiss with TayNew and Still 2gether with BrightWin) to come up with fabulous shows. So I have trust that he knows what he's doing with JimmySea. Let's see. I really like this so far, but Only Friends did indeed burn me out to a crisp, so I'm allowing myself the slightest touch of hesitancy as I get into a new and big GMMTV show.

Delayed posting, but here it is in all it's (scanned) glory, my secret Cockles op for my wonderful Sunshine Shellers family.

I was scared that it would be lame, but I actually kinda love how it came out (even if I do have my tea-drinking pinky out).

I wanted to do something special for the wonderful community I have curated on Discord - my family within the SPN family - and this is the result.

(I kinda wish I'd done this one before my other cockles op, so that Misha didn't have his disappointed act to drop, but I digress).

If you want to join a group of unhinged, yet totally lovable, cockles-shippers for thirst-posting, meta discussion about all things spn and adjacent, and wonderful new friends, check out the pinned post on this blog.

Love always, Chloe 💖 (@the-rollerchloster)

[magnificent-winged-beast]

I'm incommunicado.

Can't receive asks since the message thing of my blog died.

Can't reply to my own post.

It's been 1 month. I don't hsve followers or they are bots probably, because I only got two since December. Just the secondary blogs had this rush of bots following.

Don't know if the people I use to casually chat know that I don't have this feature.

Aparently, I can't send asks either. Or I'm probably with this "pissed by the tumblr Gods energy" that no one wants to reply to me, or even tag me.

It seems they are trying to smother this blog slowly and casually. Like being a drunk on the floor and they put a gigant sing upon my body that says: Don't bother, she likes being like this and probably will bite you if you help her. And are waiting for me to just stop breathing or chocke on my own vomit.

So let it die, let it rot. I hope this isn't a sign of this side of the fandom also dying and moving on with other things. I still and adict of all the art and shenanigans this fandom still has in it even if the show ended almost 3 years ago.

Personally, I still want this to be a blog for Castiel and Misha, even if it's like 100% Destiel and Cockles since 2020. I'm really looking forward for the GK thing.

But if I've been forced to evacuate here, and begin from the 200 followers on my other blogs of personal endeavors, I should leave now.

I've been sending a request to fix this to tumblr help once a week. Not even a mail in response or acknowledge of my existence so far.

From my 6 years of experience here, I think I'm far from relevant or desirable as an user, even if I purchase stuff, pay for the no ads thing. I assume that a single person from Bolivia does not mean a demographic they want to keep, and the amount of followers it has does not count as significant, neither this blog as a part of those 6 years in the tumblr ecosystem. Because of the mass migration from Twitter, I assume, that are overwhelming their servers. Loosing me it's probably a lint in their corporate belly buttons.

Funny thing is I try to convince me that this blog matters. Even if many other people leave this site deactivating their blogs and leaving a big hole in the fandom in my opinion. But me, just fading away, or tumblr just expecting I give up leave and forget this blog, so they magically solve the thing once I migrate to another user or platform. Isn't really a big deal in the great scheme of things. I don't think anyone will notice my disappearance. I'm no legacy or important blog.

In the mean girls universe, before the let's point the blogs that gaslight us to believe that OF COURSE DESTIEL WILL HAPPEN IN THE END, how you DARE to not trust us META minds that know Dabb is our personal Jesus Christ and savior. At first I hang out with with them, but then I renegate and became the usual Cas Stan that got the "Bitter" tittle because I knew they will not have the Cojones to make Destiel actually happen on the screen as a real and indiscutible situation, like a kiss or an open declaration of love that had to go BOTH WAYS.

So, my importance here is minimal. Other blogs where more active and spoke about this inner bullying in on our Heller community. How being a Clown that got many questions and wasn't that happy after watching Castiel go to Superhell and Dean just staying there looking sad, but didn't say anything at all, wasn't the promise land they preach.

I will always protest about the awful way Misha was used to bait his fan base to watch the worse two episodes in human TV history of that finale just hoping he'll be there... eventually (I was that fool, and I waited, and I waited, and I watched... THE HORROR 😱).

Anyways, because I know this post probably will go to tumblr hell like Castiel. And be there in the empty of promises and things we prefer to believe to not loose or Collective Clown minds when Jackles has the time and has the 133563323th question about that scene that confirms that Dean was being a Bro and Cas was being a Bro and all the thing was just in our heads and Cas never said I love you, or he said it but it was more like a: BRO, I LOVE YOU, BRUH.

I'll try to reach the Server Gods, plead for my oxygen and pray for the cause of this punishment not being just another antiheller pro Jarpiss that got all the time in the world, or enough friends to ask for my reporting as whatever they could just to put me in this position.

I rather want to believe this is like a rite of passage. For what I recall, many blogs of people who I love and enjoy had a temporal deactivation or this kind of things once or twice in their history. So, that gives me hope to think, opposite of what I explained earlier in this gigant mental fart of existence and relevance on the tumblresphere, I'm probably and finally being initiated in the ancient ways of torture to became and actual real blog in its own right.

I. Really. Prefer. To think. It's just that kind of things. Not the Tall one lovers and their obsession with a gigant 40s toddler.

Still I will always keep distance from them and their Incestuos ownership of the S*PN tag.

If this are my last words, and or post, I want to say:

VIVA COCKLES!

[found--family]

blog recs?

so i've lost about 30 followers since misha rejoined tumblr (folks running away to hide? idk but tumblr IS my hiding place) and i've seen a dozen destiel/spn blogs i follow post some really judgemental crap about other users, plus a bunch of my go-to blogs aren't very active atm or have veered off into multifandom and off-topic stuff. basically the vibes on my dash rn are lacking good content and positivity.

so i need some destiel/spn blog recs!!

if you're relatively new to tumblr in the last few years, or if you have some creator suggestions, hit me up. i already follow most of the popular blogs so i'm looking for lesser-known and niche blogs.

blogs that focus on: destiel, dean, castiel, misha, jensen, women of spn, general spn stuff (meta, discourse, gifsets, crack posts, fanart)

spn critique welcome but i'm looking for mostly positive vibes

no hate for the actors

no w*ncest

pro-cockles/jenmisheel

not interested in jared or j2

the thing i love most about this fandom is the feeling of community that you just can't find in other fandoms. but i'm not feeling that sense of community lately so i want to interact with different blogs.

please let me know your blog recs in the replies/tags/reblogs or send me an ask - and self recs are totally welcome! 💞

[blanketforcas]

if this was a just world we would have a big wayward sisters spinoff after all and we would have an adventure series with destiel and their found family and we would have another musical episode (this time it's the main cast who sings) and we would have another meta french mistake type of episode where cockles is left ambiguous

Hi! I'm really new to the Berserk fandom (tbh I haven't yet read the manga) but I've read some of your Golden Age Analysis posts and they're brilliant! They're so articulate, well worded and very insightful, especially wrt Griffith, and I really appreciate all the thought and work you've put into each of your meta posts. I feel like I have a much better understanding of Berserk, its themes, and especially Griffith, thanks to you and a few other meta blogs that I've encountered. Reading through your analysis makes me want to dive into Berserk and become a fan! And tbh I already feel like a Griffith fan, I've grown very invested in him, and in Guts and in their relationship, and I really love him as a character. Which in large part is thanks to meta like yours. Because despite initially finding him intriguing, charismatic and extremely sympathetic (especially after the excruciating torture he endures), I didn't actually understand him, nor did I know what his true motives were, and all of the misconceptions about his character only made it more difficult.

Sorry, I know I'm rambling, but basically I just want to say that I really really love your blog, it's awesome! 💙💙💙

You warm the cockles of my cold, cold heart. Thank you.

Also, I can't recommend Berserk enough. It would be difficult for me to articulate how much I love it and how much it means to me.

(I say this, but if you have serious triggers I would be careful because if there's a horrible thing that can happen it will happen in Berserk and usually in detail. )
