y'know I thought I was all done but I got one more thing to add to my earlier (lengthy -- sorry!) response to the wincest wednesday askbox scattergun, and that's on the topic of familial lexicon:

mundane headcanons, I hear you say? how about this one that is gospel in my heart: there are dozens, if not HUNDREDS, of songs that sam hears in his brother's voice before anybody else's.

there's songs for bathtime and bedtime, songs to make sam sit still while dean clips his sharp little fingernails, songs for when dad's been gone for so many minutes, way past the little hand on the eight and the big hand on the four. there's songs for waiting in the car while dad pumps gas or digs deep holes or lights fires that make dean go pale and a little sweaty, so his palm slides clammy-cold over sam's. there's songs for walking home from school, songs that sam gets to hear vibrating up to where he's perched on dean's shoulders, and songs whispered against his temple when sleep won't come.

(later, when he's older, there's songs for counting cadence during PT and songs for walking back to the fence to reset the pop can targets and songs for when he's fought with dad and screamed himself hoarse. there's songs for hanging out the window to the waist while dean does a conservative seventy-five of roads graded for fifty. there's songs dean sings to and for himself, but he doesn't mind if sam listens in.)

like, for sam, pete seeger didn't sing "little boxes"; dean winchester did. paul simon and art garfunkel didn't sing "cecelia"; dean winchester did. bruce springsteen didn't sing "atlantic city" and arlo guthrie didn't sing "alice's restaurant massacre" and warren zevon didn't sing "roland the headless thompson gunner" (besides, sam's pet theory is that warren's probably a hunter himself, or at least a well-informed civilian); peter schilling didn't sing "major tom" and elvis didn't sing "suspicious minds" and roy orbison didn't sing "all I have to do is dream". joan baez didn't sing "with god on our side" and tom paxton didn't sing "lyndon johnson told the nation" and hoyt acton didn't sing "greenback dollar" and fleetwood mac sure as hell didn't sing "the chain". phil ochs didn't sing "the highwayman" and john denver didn't sing "country roads" and dusty springfield didn't sing "I only want to be with you". dean winchester did; word-perfect, every time.

sam's a connoisseur of the entire dean winchester discography. no matter what anybody else (the radio included) says, sam knows how those song go.

sam knows that the song goes, "my sammy lies over the prairie, my sammy lies over the sea, my sammy lies over the prairie, so bring back my sammy to me"

sam knows that the song goes, "a-round her neck/ she wore a yellow ribbon/ she wore it in the springtime/ and in the month of may/ and if you asked/ her why the hell she wore it/ she wore it for her young marine sent far, far away"

sam knows that the song goes, "I've got some fine memories of san angelo/ and I've seen some beauty queens in el paso/ but the best lookin' women that I've ever seen/ have all been from kansas and all wearin' jeans"

sam knows that the song goes, "we've hauled some barges in our day/ filled with lumber, coal, and hay/ and we know every inch of the way/ from albany to far below"

sam knows that the song goes, "my father was hung as a horse thief/ my mother was burned as a witch/ my seventeen sisters, they run the whorehouse/ and I'm a cocksucking son of a bitch"

sam knows that the song goes, "oh, my darling/ oh, my darling/ oh, my darling clementine/ you are lost and gone forever/ dreadful sorry, clementine"

sam knows that the song goes, "so take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang/ don't be too gay in botany bay, or else you'll surely hang/ "or else you'll surely hang," says he, and after that, jim jones/ way up upon the gallows tree, the crows will pick your bones"

sam know that the song goes, "bye, baby bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting, gone to fetch a gator skin, to wrap his baby bunting in"

(sam's twenty-three and newly dead so he doesn't know the next time a song from dean's back catalogue gets sung in a whisper against the thin skin of his temple, hair pushed back behind his ear so maybe he'll hear: bring back, bring back, oh, bring back my sammy to me, to me; bring back, bring back, oh bring back my baby to me)

!!!! SCREAM! ANON YOU ARE FUCKING *COOKING* this is so beautiful 😭😭😭😭 gosh. I'm screaming. EVERYONE READ WHAT ANON SAID PLEASE BECAUSE MY BRAIN IS REARRANGED BY THIS

[tigerdrachin]

sooooo, I have been rewatching a few table skits because the last days were shitty and I needed to laugh

I maybe have come up with a theory about New York (It probably has already been noticed, but I didn’t do a deep dive into the unstable canon of this fandom for nothing, ok)

So in the ‘DC statehood’ skit we see New York (State) and NYC

NYC with the normal red beanie we know and love

NY State with a bills (I think. I’m not big on football) beanie

we have seen both beanies multiple times after (and I think before it switched too sometimes) but the red is much more prominent

So. are we looking at NYC most of the time? Representing how NYC dominates the states image?

 (also another piece to support this theory is that in ‘Weekly News Recap 6/5′ NY ask why the military is walking on HIS streets not NYC streets HIS streets, he is speaking in first person about NYC when he is constantly insisted that NY (not him, but NY) is more than just the city (I could be wrong on that as I don't know what happened beyond what's said in the sketch so feel free to correct))

Edit after rewatching more vids:

(found another thing ‘Night Before Christmas in NYC’ AND I QUOTE: “This has been ‘The night before Christmas in NYC’ by ME NYC” he's wearing the coat he has the beanie he said it himself what more evidence do you need)

Do they have a Texas/Austin or California/beach cal or Florida/Miami (from Cal and Flo we can also learn that states can change outfits when switching personalities) thing going on, just with the City being in control most of the time?

What would their relationship be like?

(I’m just gonna refer to them as State and City from here on, as this is annoying)

In the episode (D.C. wants to be a state) State would like to get City out of the state but gets shut down by City

State seems much nicer and happier than City does (still not nice, but nicer)

Would they have a sibling like relationship, City being the overprotective older brother (my research said NYC is older, correct me if I’m wrong) taking all the attention on him, as he always has, while State just wants to be seen independent of NYC?

Do they get along when nobody's locking?

Does City ask State when something that's not the city is brought up?

Because City clearly cares about States feelings, with his stubborn telling everyone that NY is more than just a city, even tho (If we go by beanie logic) said city is in control.

And if we spin this over analyzation further, NY outfit isn't consistent at all, but all reappear from time to time, different from all other states that changed outfits, so does that mean that other cities also can take control?

Also, are the other States aware of it because they all refer to him (NYC, NY and other) as only New York.

Like we got (I have evidence for NYC, NY (state), Albany and Buffalo but I’m not through with my digging, so maybe Rochester will be added when I find an outfit that I can’t sort to anybody else)

Red beanie, coat, gray hoodie (only in the early eps) Bills shirt - NYC there is so much evidence I'm not listing here (ask if you want more insight to my research), it’s also the most seen one by a lot (I counted) so it supports my theory that NYC is mostly the one in control (He shares this one with buffalo tho as NYC said in one of the early skits that buffalo like jumping through fold tables Bc football or smth, and in the Holiday special (The one where NY Buffalo smiled) he said in this outfit that he already did jump through tables, I don't think buffalo comes out much tho beyond football which is why he doesn’t have his own outfit

Red Beanie, no coat, bills shirt - That's Albany, but the hints to that are very subtle. The first time that outfit was seen was in the episode that started with tear gas in different states (NY included) Albany was the only city (important enough for me to consider here) that used tear gas (There is a little more but explaining that would take too long)

Red beanie, no coat, New York shirt - also New York City (Just his warm wetter outfit lol) Same personality just different shirt, try telling me otherwise I will pull out the loads of evidence I have for this. I’m just too lazy to write it all out, rn. (beside NYC so has more than one outfit to wear, he’s NYC after all)

UPDATE AFTER MORE DIGGING: this ^ is shared between NY and NYC I will explain: In the bosten tea party video is ny in this outfit agreeing with mass which means it can't be NYC as he stood against what mass did back then so either NY just took over because he represented the popular opinion in the state (making it a austin/texas kinda situation where the more popular has more representation) or back then they were still one person and split up later when NYC became the face of NY (would explain why not even the northeastern states are aware of it as NY didn't have multiple personalities back then) and albany appeared when it became capital and buffalo just showed up some day (I do not know the history of buffalo so when I get into research for his part in this (he shows up the least so he is the last one I will look into), his place in the timeline I'm establishing here could change)

There is another version of this one just with a different Shirt which only appears in ‘DC statehood’ and is explicitly said to be NYC

Bills beanie, no coat bills shirt - NY (state) as far as I’m right now with the episodes it has appeared in DC Statehood with the exact label NY as the state and In the drunk NY scene in ‘Table News: Two Tickets to Martha’s’ and in both he's adorable, fight me.

But all are just called New York for some reason (somebody write a fic about the other states after moving in being confused as all hell at NY different personalities. It. would. Be. Hilarious. or good angst (duh) or hurt/comfort (The system supporting each other) or just Texas and New York bonding over it)

Everybody can use this, go nuts, this fandom can sure as hell use more NY fluff/Angst fellas!

If this interested anyone, just ask for more info if you want it, I have done so much digging for this (Do not recommend) so that you don’t have too and I’m happy to share everything I found, just this is already pretty long so yeah.

If ya want more info I have a few sites written full of details I noticed by going through all of NY episodes for this (Most also have episodes it appeared in referenced so you could check yourself if you want)

just differentiate if you only want things I found in the skits or if head canons mixed in would be ok (It would be marked with HC tho)

This took three hours and it’s not even half of all I found out and I’m not even through all of NY appearances but I don't wanna do more digging rn.

Homelessness/Housing

In California a few years ago, visiting friends in Albany just north of Berkeley, I walked to the Berkeley marina and just around the corners of some side streets I saw many parked motorhomes and recreational vehicles. People, obviously, were living in them.

Now the news is that Los Angeles also has this (to the tune of 40,000 people) and the mayor, Karen Bass, is saying she will do something about it. She mentions tents, and I saw those too in Berkeley, but what strikes me is the motorhomes.

Let's pause here a moment and think. One -- not the only one, but a major one -- of the underlying causes here is the sheer cost of housing. In real money, the cost of housing has almost doubled while, at the same, real income is stagnant. But motorhomes, recreational vehicles, camper vans, travel trailers (I saw all of these too) are much cheaper than zoned housing. For many reasons, not least of which is "not in my back yard," which ends up enforcing class and race segregation.

One might well ask, how come there are people who don't have houses to live, in but do have motorhomes to live in? I didn't do a controlled study but the obvious hypothesis is: simply because motorhomes are cheaper.

So I have a modest suggestion. There should be a national law permitting manufactured housing, including motorhomes and travel trailers, in residential neighborhoods and, perhaps, in specially zoned neighborhoods. Such a law would evoke howls of outrage: "Ugly! Dirty! Unsafe! Not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood!"

"Ugly" is a question of taste, but the law could deal with it by banning features widely felt to be ugly and requiring some widely felt to be attractive. "Dirty" can be dealt with by installing the requisite hookups, or even by having a public utility to come by periodically with a service truck for gas and sewage. "Unsafe" is simply not true. "Not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood" would, of course, usually be true.

There's no political capital right now for such a law, and the rich will always find some way of keeping this stuff out of their view, but something has to give.

Up to now, trailer parks are, indeed, usually kind of trashy. But there are increasingly attractive manufactured homes, tiny homes, container houses, and, yes, motorhomes.

So when overpopulation (yes, that's also a major cause of this) and climate change (up to a billion people will have to move in the next 50-100 years -- where to, pray tell, and where will they then live?) increase the pressure on housing prices even further --

The law should and probably will change to permit manufactured housing, if it meets certain standards, in more places including in many current residential zones.

Currently within 200 miles of my Zip code (13740) one may buy new or used motor homes within a price range of $50,000 to $200,000. Most of these things are small and, unfortunately, hideously ugly. But, they don't have to be ugly.

And, they are homes you can live in!

Manufactured housing can be bought for similar prices, is bigger, and is somewhat better looking. This, too, does not have to be ugly. There is a "designer" variety of manufactured housing. And it doesn't always cost a whole lot more than ordinary ugly old modular homes.
