#and i love him SO MUCH

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

The moment I was first struck by how excellent of a leader Hunter is:

Because here's the thing: Hunter DOES let his choices be debated. He not only lets his brothers share their opinions, he welcomes them, and he takes their opinions into consideration (see: every single discussion leading up to Hunter making a decision about a mission throughout the show). He may not agree with the opinions presented and he may choose a different option, but he WILL listen. And he never, ever acts like he is infallible or that his opinions are always right.

Hunter may be the leader, but he doesn't set himself above his brothers. He doesn't act like he's better than them or that he's entitled to their deference. He is very skilled at organizing them and the plans based on their individual skill sets and how they work together as a team; he can make decisions and come up with plans quickly and efficiently in the heat of battle, and I'm sure all these skills are what led to him becoming the sergeant. But what makes him a leader is that he trusts his squad just as much as they trust him, and allows them to make their own decisions.

Above all, he loves his squad and always looks out for the safety and wellbeing of his teammates; and not only that, he respects them as individuals and wants their input.

And they all know it.

And I love Hunter for it ❤️

Castiel is such an evergreen name, it works with every possible last name.

Castiel Novak? Yes sir, there you have a soft, compassionate gay girl dad, your very own holy tax accountant.

Castiel Kline?? Hell yeah. Look at that badass father-to-be fighting against the world to protect his family who also buys hundreds of diapers because humans poop.

Castiel Winchester??? Fuck yes! One half of a legendary hunter husbands, whose adventures inspire the new generation of hunters and monsters tell their kids to make them go to bed.

Castiel. Novak? Kline? Winchester? They all work, beautifully!

Still can’t stop thinking about this boy and his damage and his art. I’m just so glad I get to share the planet with him. His art is complex and layered and life-changing. So some Guilty fanart. Cheers 🩵

Some thoughts about Cater

So much of Cater's life has been dictated by other people's opinions of him, that I think most of what we know of him may not really be who he actually is. I'd even argue that skateboarding and spicy food are possibly the only glimpses we get of Cater's "true" interests and his innermost self, outside of the things that he feels he "should" like.

He looks to others to guide what he wears, what he does, what he likes. We've seen it over and over again; in his Silk Adorned vignette, in his Labwear vignette, when he was helping taste-test items for the Mostro Lounge in the manga anthology, during Chapter 1 and the beginning of Chapter 7, and in so many other scenarios, too. Even his best subject is astrology, looking to the stars for meaning and direction. He's been guided by outsiders; interests and perceptions for nearly his entire life: first, expected to be cute and sweet by his sisters, then expected to be trendy by people online, plus all the other expectations of the other roles he has - Heartslabyul student, upperclassman, friendly and supportive "Cay-Cay". And he became those things.

He takes in other's opinions, and shapes his own in that manner. Now, there's nothing wrong with looking to other people for guidance, but Cater seems to almost lose himself in the wash of opinions, and he fully adapts himself in order to match what is expected of him in each scenario.

There does exist a cute version of Cater. There does exist a trendy version of Cater. There does exist a lonely, tired version of Cater. There does exist a cheery, friendly version of Cater. All of these are true expressions of one or another form of who he is, and make up what we see as "Cay-Cay", "Cay-kun", "Cater Diamond".

But I don't know if we really see him in the way that he feels himself to be; if his deeper desires, what he looks for outside of the things he does for validation come to light much at all.

I know it's been mentioned before how well Cater's Unique Magic suits him, but it SUITS him. He's so multifaceted, that it's hard to tell who or where the "real" one is. But gosh, if I wouldn't love to see him as he is when he's alone. The Cater that isn't focussed on what other people think of him at that moment. The one who orders spicy foods that he'll enjoy eating rather than the more aesthetic ones he won't want to taste. The one who will actually relax.

He deserves to express himself in every way. Including the ways he doesn't usually choose to.

So I finally caught up on My Stand In after being 3 episodes behind due to irl reasons.

The last three episodes have been a lot and while I’m sad to have missed the weekly discussions, I’m also kind of glad I watched all three at once because it gave me the opportunity to get to watch Ming’s progress rapidly rather than waiting (which my ADHD brain is very happy about) and the one thing really stuck with me through all three episodes.

Of the three who knows Joe is Joe, Ming is the only one to figure it out completely on his own. He doesn���t overhear anything, he isn’t told by anyone. Even the priest (is that what he is? Citation needed) won’t give Ming the straight answer he seeks. Joe is neither dead nor alive but a secret third thing, his soul has transmigrated to another body entirely.

Before, when he didn’t know, we got the small kernels of change. Ming is much more straight forward than he used to be. While he was never one to mince words, he is more truthful and up front, even with Joe 2.0. He is honest with him from the start about exactly what he wants. He doesn’t tell Joe the real reason why he wants it, but that’s understandable given that no one else is willing to believe Ming when he says Joe is still alive. So why tell this new stand in why you want him to be so.

Then he figures it out. He puts together the context clues and believes the impossible because he’s the only one who never gave up hope that Joe would come home, would come back to him. Joe does come back to him and Ming immediately sets out to ensure that Joe exactly where he stands in terms of how Ming feels about him. Ming needs Joe to understand exactly what he wants. Ming is probably always going to be the type of person who will use underhanded tactics in certain situations, but it’s completely understandable why he uses the contract to keep Joe with him.

Ming offers up explanations where Joe didn’t ask for them, because he knows that Joe deserves them, whether or not he asks for them. He wants Joe to understand that he regrets a lot of his past actions, including what he did for Tong at the end. Ming had all but admitted that if he could go back and change it, he would.

Ming is willing to confront so many issues head on. He is learning to deal with his emotions in a way that is more productive for them all. He has started to feel more of his emotions out loud in a way he didn’t before. He promised himself he would change if Joe ever came back and so far he has kept his promise. He will better himself and he will grow. He will no longer be stagnant.

He is even willing to tell his father that he is dating Joe. The mere mention of it clearly terrifies him more than he has the words to express, something that Joe picks up on right away and tries to protect both of them from. Preemptively breaking up with Ming to try and save them both a worst heartbreak than simply breaking up.

Tong had spent so much of the show attempting to prove again and again that Ming is under his thumb. He knew that Ming was in love with him in the past and still believes he is now, but he is wrong. Ming will no longer allow himself to be manipulated by Tong and by extension his mother. So he will shoot their ace out of the sky by doing the one thing that terrifies him the most. He will tell his father that he is gay. That he is gay and dating a man. A man named Joe.

He will accept what comes next because the only other options is to lose Joe and Ming absolutely will not do that for a second time. He is willing to lose everything, as long as it means he doesn’t lose Joe.

My favorite thing? Tim Drake is a genius who is also super...super stupid

He's hacking into classified files and solving cases in minutes...but he's also shoving a fork down the toaster trying to pull out his stuck bread

He forgets everyday words but can remember the longer(less used, lesser known or even just the more difficult to remember) synonym of that word.

He also is stupid in the name of knowing things. Like...if he has a question that can only be solved by doing SMTHN ridiculous...he will. You know the fics the ones where he finds out he's immortal. (Aka him literally unaliving himself, or putting himself in danger ...)

My relationship with Izzy Hands is so special because sometimes it's like "Yes, he is a nuanced character whose actions cause harm, but I love analyzing him and sympathizing with him and I think his actions and the reasoning behind his actions are fascinating and I understand how he can be interpreted to be a cruel person when he is a tragic character being driven by circumstance and by his past"

Other times it's like "This is my special little guy and no one else understands him like I do. We have a bond. No one else understands how important he is or how his complexity fuels him. The only interpretation that is correct is my own and no one else can possibly understand him."

And sometimes it's "haha. What a bottom"
