Just knowing I'm going to stop watching Enterprise after "Terra Prime" and skip "These Are the Voyages" is making the entire series so much more enjoyable. It's crazy. It's like I've discovered the director's cut, and now everything makes so much more sense.

Right, so, the audio card in my laptop is dead after overheating when I was in new york. So no sounds whatsoever from my computer. No problem, I'll just watch things on my phone. My phone is cheap and can't really play videos on full screen, gotta keep it small or just play audio. Well it's good until I get to Brussels and break my phone screen (good thing I got a nokia. Nothing else could have survived that shit)

This sucks because a lot of my favorite creators are posting up a storm on youtube and it's just piling up.

But, after I ate a bit of this weed brownie here i got this genius idea; what if I just pull up the video on my phone and computer at the same time. Video from PC, audio from phone.

*chefs kiss* fuckin genius.

Only downside is I gotta be sure keep em in perfect sync, or else the offset will drive me up the wall.

Can I ask what was your first impression of TGCF and if it turned out wrong or right?

My first impression of TGCF was "this goof continuously ascends to -- and gets kicked out of -- heaven, this is going to be clown town isn't it?"

And honestly I stand by that one, I think I was completely correct**

(**barring the fact that this goof will then go on to experience ever conceivable horror known to man but honestly I mostly expected it after MDZS)

Me when they confirm in Roku's 2nd novel that Ta Min has had the hots for Roku since school started (or sooner) but didn't say anything because of Sozin or somthing, and thus perpetuating the Ta Min/Rangi and Sozin/Yun parallel:

two people too closed off to everyone met through their love for a game she was the first face he saw they fell in love both of them not being people of too many words never could tell each other to be with him she ruined her reputation they got separated due to circumstances had a child born out of love couldn't meet again due to people this time neither of them could raise their child not together nor alone a child who would grow up to feel next to nothing for them one spent her life succumbing to madness and illness the other living in guilt and loneliness... a tragedy if there ever was one

oh nuts. a life experience has given me a new layer of perspective on Cas's homosexual declaration of love to Dean.

recently I had occasion to tell a person I had feelings for them knowing full well they didn't feel even a twinge of the same thing for me. while the whole thing was a decidedly unpleasant experience, I kept laughing at myself internally bc I didn't want to say "the happiness is just in saying it" like fucking Castiel over here. (we don't need to talk about it, it's fine.) (I am happier having said it and it's kind of bullshit, but I digress.)

because the thing is, the happiness isn't in just saying it, right? the happiness is in the having. I made a whole TikTok "proving" that the Empty didn't come for Cas when he confessed his love, but rather when he realized Dean loved him back. even for Cas, the happiness was in the having, not in the saying, however brief it was.

and I've always been one of those people who rolled their eyes at the whole concept. why would the happiness be in just being, in just saying it, if it's right there in front of you to have. and then it hit me like a tonne of bricks (as I was washing my kitchen counters).

Cas really didn't think he could have Dean.

at all. in any capacity. he really, truly, and honestly felt to the depths of himself that Dean did not have any twinge of similar feelings, that this really was a Hail Mary shot-in-the-dark. and I think me, personally, really didn't understand that about Cas. that his belief in his love being unrequited was that unshakable.

something else I've been pondering is how audiences have so much more empathy for fictional characters who share traits that IRL they find objectionable and unappealing. but the thing is about fictional characters is that we follow them around in their most private, vulnerable moments. we see Dean mourning Cas when he dies, literally killing himself because he can't live without him, but it's so easy to forget that we're the omniscient ones here.

Cas never knew.

Dean's whole thing was pushing him away, keeping him at arm's length, making it seem like whatever heroic thing he does for Cas he'd do for anyone. he downplays how important it is for Dean to share the Deancave with him, to show him his favourite movies, share his favourite songs. he acts like the things Cas does for him don't mean that much to hide how much they do mean. he uses "we" whenever he even gets in the vicinity of expressing a feeling. "We were worried." "We're glad you're back." "We needed a win." "You're our brother." The audience knew the difference. We saw how he'd clench his jaw or swallow hard or make a face that said "God, I'm being such an idiot". Because we saw him in those little moments. We got to see the cracks in the mask.

but Cas never knew.

the self-hating angel of Thursday was never going to think it was all a way for Dean to protect himself. obviously, that's the delicious tragedy of it all, but what I think I realized at the end of all that is Cas confessing his love to a Dean who didn't love him back wouldn't have worked. Because the happiness really is in the having. If happiness was just in saying it, then The Empty would have come before Cas even finished getting the words out of his mouth.

so Cas's plan wouldn't have worked if Dean didn't love him back.

this is just me yapping on about my own nonsense, but I do think it's really interesting. there's contentment in "just saying it". there's freedom and relief and an unburdening. I think one can argue that it makes being happy in the being easier. there is certainly some joy in telling a person you think that highly of them. but true happiness?

nah.

true happiness is always going to only be in the having. Cas didn't understand the difference until he experienced it, and by then, it was too late.

So a lot of demons smoke in the devildom, how do you think the characters would react to learning about how dangerous smoking (and second hand smoke) can be for a human, and especially when the MC is asthmatic

So, this answer isn't going to be very long because the answer is so straightforward: they would all quit smoking.

Just like how cigarettes (and tobacco/nicotine) don't have any negative or harmful effects on demons, they also aren't addictive to demons like they are for humans. Quitting smoking is a much easier and much more painless thing for a demon, who was never addicted or dependent on smoking in the first place.

Some of them (Lucifer, Diavolo) would quit immediately, as soon as the human Exchange students arrived in the Devildom. Because these humans are part of the Exchange Program and are under their protection, and they are smart enough not to expose the new humans to secondhand smoke. So it's never an issue in the first place.

Others (Satan) wouldn't quit, but would make an effort not to smoke anywhere near the human or when the human was close by. They'd take their cigs somewhere private, out of consideration. Once they actually became close with MC and built a relationship with them though, then they'd actually quit smoking for real.

And then there's the ones (Mammon, Mephisto) who don't know that smoke can actually hurt humans, so they keep smoking even when MC is around because they are honestly none the wiser. It isn't because they don't care, they just genuinely don't know about the dangers of secondhand smoke and they don't know any better. Once somebody tells them that smoke is harmful to humans, they'll quit right away.
