You know which very specific trope I can’t get enough of? The one where two characters who are living through continuous misery and danger flee to a peaceful, isolated, euphoric place for a limited time. I’m talking: a cottage where it’s just the two of them, forgetting about the misery of life and tasting happiness and freedom for what feels like the first time. They know their time together is finite, so they laugh, bask in the sun, run their fingers through grass fields, and hold onto each other. They know it won’t last, so they have to drink in every minute, and reframe love in terms of depth as opposed to longevity.
Then, when they inevitably have to go back to cold reality where they can’t be together and everything is dark and grim, that memory at the cottage is the only warmth they have left for years to come

That Drink Pour - a Meta Homage to Ben-Hur & Classic Hays Era Queercoding?
Tumblr media
This 6x06 scene  - was strange to say the least
Tumblr media
(Left) Boyd, Mentally playing this as a sex scene                        (Right) Heston, Has no idea what the director told Boyd
Long post analysis of the pour under the cut
Ben Hur came out in 1959 based on a 1880 novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It won 11 Academy Awards. The tangentially biblical saga checked every box for "morality" and "red blooded" American film, including a staring roll for macho menman Charlton Heston. They wanted Paul Newman or Rock Hudson, but they got Charlton Heston.  If you asked the general audience, the movie portrayed the tragic turn of two profoundly loyal friends to bitter enemies. But what if we asked the screen writer? 🤔  
Enter a fateful conversation between screenwriter Gore Vidal and director William Wyler about the exact nature of the two characters, Ben-Hur (Heston) and Messala.  Gore Vidal revealed in 1995 that he wrote the two as ex-lovers who became bitter enemies. Full stop. The head screenwriter told director Wyler that they could do it all in subtext, they needn't say a single line of dialogue. It would go over the heads of most of the audience, but to those who understood? it would be absolutely clear. Wyler said okay, but don't tell Heston.
And so, Vidal crafted a sex scene for his characters. Where one slowly poured a drink for the other. The writer was in on it. The director was in on it. and Stephen Boyd, the actor playing Messala was in on it. ... but Cheston had no idea. “So Heston thinks he’s doing Francis X. Bushman [Ben-Hur in the silent version]. And Stephen Boyd is acting it to pieces. There are looks that he gives him that are just so clear.”   - Vidal
Tumblr media
The music swells.
Tumblr media
/\ in on it                  completely in the dark /\
38 years later the writer recounted the story in the documentary 'The Celluloid Closet' and Heston promptly lost his shit. A shade filled response from Videl can be found here. (x)
It was a story about two friends. Two loyal friends. Who trust each other completely. Who share a profound bond with each other. The writer is secretly coding them as lovers, until, ultimately, one betrays the other. The characters never kiss on screen, but have elaborate rituals to be coded as sex in ways that will slip past the censors. Hmm.  🤔
What was the plot of Supernatural season 6 again?
Wasn't there an episode?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
/\ Jensen Ackles                   Misha Collins /\
6x06 You Can't Handle the Truth Written by Eric Charmelo, Nicole Snyder, & David Reed Directed by Jan Eliasberg Sam and Dean investigate a town plagued by Veritas, where people can't help telling the truth.
The scene feels like an amalgamation of the Ben Hur scene and a scene from North by Northwest by Hitchcock where a queercoded character, Leonard, pours whiskey into a glass to imply violation of the male lead. That actor,  Martin Landau, since acknowledged that he played the character of Leonard as gay. (x)
The rest of the season, at least the episodes from writers who were in the ‘club’ include this long arc where Cas is secretly working with Crowley, “to protect Dean”, in a plotline coded as an affair.   The reveal really started in 6x17 (x), but the coding  was never more clear than in 6x20 The Man Who Would Be King: Dean unable to fathom Cas ‘cheating on him’ (x)  and the troubled reveal that Cas got Sam out of the cage. (x) The orange glow of the fire an pain in their eyes when Dean discovers Cas was working with Crowley (x)  “You make it sound so simple. Where were you when I needed to hear it?” “I was there. Where were you?” (x) That stab through the chest when Dean looks back at Cas before running out the door. (x) Commentary on 6x20 (x)
When did the writers begin to write Destiel in purposely?  We already know that Misha was playing Cas a certain way on his own, but When did the writers and Misha come together on what they were doing? Was Jensen aware of what was happening? If so, after what point? “Don’t ruin it for everyone” “No???”  “Destiel Doesn’t Exist.” “We’re missing the gay angel” “It’s always Dean (with the bromances)” These are questions I think about often. Much more on that in an ongoing long draft that will take a long time.

StackedNatural Masterpost: [x]
October 29, 2021
5x07: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester
Written by: Sera Gamble
Directed by: Robert Singer
Original air date: October 29, 2009
Plot Synopsis:
Dean and Sam learn that a witch is running a poker game where the currency is life years versus money; Dean tries to intervene when Bobby starts losing the game.
Features:
Poker for your life, Dean looks at a dick, old Bobby, old Dean, Sam goes all in, Dean’s happy little leprechaun kick.
My Thoughts:
One half of this episode is very funny physical comedy and making fun of Dean, and the other half is ethically questionable disability politics.
5ish minutes into the episode there’s a bad hard zoom onto the threesome guy’s tattoo and I knew instantly that it was a Singer-directed episode. The man has one move, and it’s weird hard zooms and a lack of faith in his audience. It’s pretty fun to be getting to know the show well enough to clock certain writers and directors, though. It makes me feel more insane but it’s pretty satisfying.
This episode also has a classic shot of Dean looking at a dick on the flimsiest possible excuse, so points in its favour. And his little heel kick at the end is so cute! Dean, baby, I love you. AND when Patrick refers to Dean’s wife or girlfriend and he looks instantly so confused. Points for Gay Dean Truthers.
The portrayal of a disability as being worse than death is so frustrating though, that it sucks a lot of the joy out of the episode for me. I can understand the sentiment that they were going for, with his history as a hunter and the general hunter attitude of “you’re only as good as you are useful”, but it blew right past that to “if you’re disabled you should kill yourself”.
I like how smart Sam gets to be in this episode, and despite hating Singer I did enjoy how the poker scene was filmed. It loses a little bit of its punch when, like me, you understand nothing about how poker works.
Notable Lines:
“Brains trumps legs, apparently.”
“Here you are, right? Trying to clean up their mess, and they still want to sit you at the kiddie table. You're not the little brother anymore, Sam.”
“When it's about your brother, you get so emotional, your brain just flies right out the window.”
“You don't stop being a soldier 'cause you got wounded in battle. Okay? No matter what shape you're in, bottom line is, you're family. I don't know if you've noticed, but me and Sam, we don't have much left. I can't do this without you.”

IMdB Rating: 8.8
6x06: You Can't Handle the Truth
Written by: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder
Directed by: Jan Eliasberg
Original air date: October 29, 2010
Plot Synopsis:
When several people kill themselves after asking for the truth, Sam and Dean investigate and realize that Veritas, an ancient goddess of truth, has been summoned. Her victims die when they hear more truth than they can stand.
Features:
Self-awareness to the point of suicide, Sam is Different, Dean is Bobby’s favourite, the end of Dean’s lavender marriage, Veritas Goddess of Truth, Sam is a Liar and has no feelings, Dean beats the shit out of Sam.
My Thoughts:
I love the frantic energy of Dean when he’s in the depths of his paranoia about Sam before the soullessness reveal. Jensen’s acting in this episode is great, as always, especially in the break up scene with Lisa and the end scene with Veritas.
I actually really like this episode but the premise being that everyone hates everyone and is thinking horrible things about them all the time bums me out a bit. The episode gets a boost from Cas’ existence in it though! I love the scene, short as it is. The drink pouring shot is classic, and the way Cas keeps turning away from Dean… he’s already feeling guilty about bringing Sam back wrong, and about the souls and Crowley, but he wants so badly to ease Dean’s mind.
I like the reveal that something really is wrong with Sam after the fake out earlier in the episode, I think it’s well written, and Dean’s speech about not being able to have a family killed me. We’ve known since season 6 that what he wants is to settle down and have a family, even kids, but he doesn’t think he’s capable of it. And then they killed him on a hunt at 40! I’m mad again. What else is new?
Notable Lines:
“What happened to you, Cas? You used to be human, or at least like one.” “I'm at war. Certain... regrettable things are now required of me.”
“How is it that half the time you clean a mess, you end up dirty?”
“You've got so much buried in there, and you push it down, and you push it down. Do you honestly think that you can go through life like that and not freak out? Just, what, drink half a fifth a night and you're good?”
“the minute he walked through that door, I knew. It was over. You two have the most unhealthy, tangled-up, crazy thing I've ever seen. And as long as he's in your life, you're never gonna be happy.”
“I've seen liars before, but you two? Gold standard.”
“I ain't a father. I'm a killer. And there's no changing that. I know that now.”

IMdB Rating: 8.5
9x04: Slumber Party
Written by: Robbie Thompson
Directed by: Robert Singer
Original air date: October 29, 2013
Plot Synopsis:
Sam and Dean accidentally free Dorothy, who has been trapped in the bunker for years, who seeks their help in killing the wicked witch.
Features:
Dorothy of Oz fame, Wicked Witch of the West, Charlie Bradbury finally makes her Stacked debut, Charlie’s big quest, Charlie and Dorothy head off on an adventure.
My Thoughts:
I think this episode might be the first full confirmation of alternate realities/parallel universes? We have things like The End and It’s a Terrible Life, but those could easily be argued as Zachariah messing with reality in smaller bubbles. (Let’s pretend I don’t have DTA derangement syndrome and extremely strong opinions on the nature of the endverse reality). But Oz wasn’t created by L. Frank Baum, just documented by him. I might be forgetting something else that happens earlier, but it’s fun to see the start of what becomes such a huge plot point in the final season.
Stacked is very funny because an episode will start with one brother being like “ok other brother, just take it easy, you need to recover” and I’ll have to mentally scroll through my spn rolodex to try and remember what happened chronologically and where we are.
The episode gets a bunch of points for Charlie because I love her dearly. That’s Dean’s little sister! And she gets to do the hunter equivalent of uhauling with Dorothy!
I’m mad again at the finale, because we have yet more proof that Dean wants a home and Sam wants to stay a hunter, and neither of them got what they wanted. No peace when we were done.
Fun Stack with Unity; in this ep, when it comes down to killing the evil thing or saving someone he loves, he chooses to save the person he loves. Unity, different story. In You Can’t Handle the Truth, he says he isn’t cut out to be a father, and in Unity, he proves it.
Notable Lines:
“Despite all my lady parts, I managed to capture the wicked witch.”
“You're not a real hunter until you've died and come back again.”
“Ding-dong, bitches.”
“You said you were looking for adventure. Well, here it is, Red. Come help me find my damn dog.”

IMdB Rating: 8.1
15x17: Unity
Written by: Meredith Glynn
Directed by: Catriona McKenzie
Original air date: October 29, 2020
Plot Synopsis:
Dean hits the road with Jack who needs to complete a final ritual in the quest to beat Chuck; a difference of opinion leaves Sam and Castiel behind looking for answers to questions of their own.
Features:
God is back in the building and wants a fresh start, Adam and Serafina, Jack passes the test, the key to Death’s library, Billie wants to be in control, Chuck’s manipulation, Jack begins to detonate.
My Thoughts:
There is so much to say about this episode I don’t know how to sum it up.
I hate Dean in this episode in a way that is so narratively satisfying that it kills me. He has to hit his lowest point, be at his most desperate and most willing to do whatever it takes to win. If the finale had ended the way it seems like it was meant to, it would have been perfect to provide a contrast with the ending.
Still, the fact that he’s willing to let a 3 year old sacrifice himself so that he can be free of Chuck (and that’s how it’s framed, not in a “the world can be free” way, in a “Dean Winchester can be free” way). And his pseudo-apology in the car after Adam pisses me off. It turns out I’m a Deangirl for as long as it takes to get to Jack, and then I switch teams.
But Jack just wants to be good. And he’s learned from the boys that the way to redeem yourself is through self-sacrifice.
Speaking of Adam, it was super weird to watch those scenes because I met the actor who plays Adam through work before seeing this episode. He’s very nice and likes to pretend that he’s Taika Waititi. Also, very funny that Supernatural ran long enough to confirm both Adam and Eve in the garden and evolution.
Sam compares John to Lucifer and the camera lingers on Dean when Chuck says they’re broken… these boys need so much help.
I am very much a Chuck Won Truther, and this episode is the strongest evidence for it outside of the meta-narrative of the finale. He pretends to be mad at being trapped, Dean threatens Sam, he absorbs Amara. He is omniscient! The best decision they ever made in Supernatural was making Chuck the final villain.
Notable Lines:
“You want to evaporate every kernel of existence because the Winchesters won't do what you say.”
“Villains get all the best lines.”
“I found out about Chuck... it's like—it's like I wasn't alive. Not really. You know, like, my whole life I've never been free.”
“Dean. Brought to the edge of doubt. His sense of duty, his rage winning out in the end. [...] And poor Sam. Always gotta know everything. Can't leave well enough alone. [...] This is my ending. My real ending.”
“What part of omniscient do you people not understand? So I can't read my "Death Book." So what? I control space and time. Just plant a few visions, goad Death a little... Mess with a few outcomes... And... bada-bing! I mean... They think they can kill me?”
“My entire life, you've protected me— from Dad, from Lucifer, from everything.”
“Castiel, the self-hating angel of Thursday. You know what every other version of you did after ‘gripping him tight and raising him from perdition?’ They did what they were told. But not you. Not the ‘one off the line with a crack in his chassis.’”
Laura’s (completely subjective) Episode Rating: 9.4
IMdB Rating: 8.6
In Conclusion: Explaining the Secret Good Spn to the friends I have over this weekend like “it requires light editing but with Ghostfacers Effect, the infrastructure is built in! The Author is absent!” And I know that’s incomprehensible but I don’t care, they’re trapped in here with me.

A Modern and Eclectic Manhattan Remodel — House Call
Name: Jan Eliasberg, my daughter Location: Lenox Hill — New York City, N.Y. Size: 1,200 square feet Years lived in: 9 months, owned
The "classic six" apartment had great bones, a huge, loft-like living room with southern light and open views of the downtown skyline, but the beauty was obscured by horrible finishes and the worst kind of seventies style: disco wallpaper; a pink formica kitchen; builder's brick red tiles, and imitation marble linoleum flooring. My goal was to complete a gut renovation on an extremely tight budget and a lightning-fast time frame—three months from demo to move in. I had an amazing contractor, but I knew from experience that I needed to source all the finishes, ordering in advance, everything ready to go the minute the contractor needed it. I also knew that I had to be on site every day to troubleshoot, to bring neighbors a nice bottle of wine after a particularly noisy day, and to keep the super and the building management happy.

Stack’s Bowers Presents Further Pieces from the D. Brent Pogue Collection for Baltimore Auction
On. Jan. 22, Stack’s Bowers Galleries announced Part VI and Part VII of the D. Brent Pogue Collection that will be offered at their Official Auction of the Whitman Coin & Collectibles Spring Expo from March 19-20.
The Pogue Collection is known as an assembly of early American coins from 1792 through the 1830s. The five sales already completed featured this portion of the collection, almost to completion, with notable additions such as the collection of $3 gold coins. Those apparent outliers were a foreshadowing of the upcoming sale scheduled for March 18-20, 2020, in Baltimore, Md.
Part VI of the D. Brent Pogue Collection will showcase his paper money collection comprising approximately 230 notes encompassing the areas of large size type notes, small size type notes and National currency. Many of the notes in the collection are among the finest examples known for their types. The collection was also assembled with an appreciation for serial number 1 notes and rare “Star” replacement notes.
Among the notes in the collection is the single finest graded $100 “Baby Watermelon Note.” The Fr.377 1890 $100 Treasury Note is graded Choice Uncirculated 63-EPQ and sits atop the PMG census as the only uncirculated example of the type. In addition to the 1890 $100, the cabinet also includes the second finest PMG graded Fr.376 1891 $50 Treasury Note, designated Choice Uncirculated 64-EPQ.
The finest known “Spread Eagle” 1863 $100 Legal Tender Note will also be offered in the D. Brent Pogue Collection sale, an Fr.167a graded Gem Uncirculated 65-EPQ. It is one of just two notes from all three Friedberg numbers that PMG has graded in the uncirculated range. A Fr.342 1880 $100 Silver Certificate from the collection is graded Gem Uncirculated 65-EPQ. The collection also includes the only PMG-certified uncirculated large size $500 Gold Certificate, an Fr.1216b 1882 $500 Gold Certificate that has achieved the lofty grade of Gem Uncirculated 65-EPQ.
Fr. 167a. 1863 $100 Legal Tender Note. PMG Gem Uncirculated 65EPQ. The Finest Known. Image courtesy Stack’s Bowers
Additionally, the D. Brent Pogue Collection contains two First Charter National Currency notes from the First National Bank of Lincoln, Ill., Ch. #2126. The pair is made up of a serial number 1 Fr.449 1875 $50 and a serial number 1 Fr.462 1875 $100, both graded PMG AU-55. They represent the only First Charter serial number 1 $50 and $100 notes known to exist.
Part VII of the D. Brent Pogue Collection continues with other coin series which Brent collected quietly for his own enjoyment. This sale presents these areas of interest and displays far more diversity than has come to be expected from this collection. This sale includes pieces worth from hundreds of dollars to millions.
Rare American historic medals make a small appearance, led by a pair of prized Libertas Americana medals, one in silver and one in bronze. The inclusion of these in the Pogue Collection points to an appreciation of history and medallic art as well as pure numismatics.
The coins range widely from small selections of superb half cents, led by a Red and Brown 1796 With Pole in MS-66, to small cents including affordable classics such as a 1909-S V.D.B. cent graded MS-66RB (PCGS). Even a modern 1960 Small Date cent graded MS-67RD (PCGS) is included. These are the beginnings of a basic type set, and representatives of many denominations are included. Thus, two-cent and three-cent pieces, half dimes, nickels, dimes, and 20-cent pieces follow. In each category, classic rarities will be found, as will basic type coins such as 1916 dimes, both Philadelphia and Denver issues in superb condition.
With the United States quarters, the dynamic changes, as this was clearly a Pogue favorite. Following a small selection of Liberty Seated pieces comes a collection of Barber coins. The collection is visually stunning, loaded with magnificent rarities, and even includes the occasional duplicate; there are two examples of the 1901-S, one MS-66+ (PCGS) and one MS-67+ (PCGS).
The offering of Standing Liberty quarters is extensive, though not quite complete, and includes coins in a wide range of value from a 1929-S in MS-66+ (PCGS) to the famous 1918/7-S overdate in MS-65 (PCGS). Washington quarters follow, with a collection that is visually impressive and has spectacular toning found throughout. All are graded by PCGS and with rare exceptions are ranked as MS-66 or MS-67.
For half dollars and dollars, partial type sets feature high-quality coins, examples of which run the gamut from a 1964-D Kennedy half dollar in MS-66+ (PCGS) to an 1804 silver dollar. The Pogue Collection included three examples of this most famous American coin. In this sale, Stack’s Bowers Galleries offering again the famous Garrett specimen. As famous as this coin is, it is but one of the highlights of this sale.
Gold coins deliver even more important properties, with small selections of each denomination from gold dollars to double eagles. These begin with an 1849 gold dollar graded MS-67 (PCGS), and close with a 1927-S Saint-Gaudens double eagle graded MS-67 (PCGS). In between there are quarter eagles (including an 1841 Little Princess graded Proof-64 Cameo), a $3 piece (an 1878 graded MS-67 by PCGS), a $4 piece (an 1879 Flowing Hair graded Proof-66 Cameo by PCGS), $5 coins (including a 1911-S in PCGS MS-66) and both the Wire Rim and Rolled Rim Indian eagles, each graded MS-67 by PCGS.
One of D. Brent Pogue’s most prized accomplishments was his complete set of 1854-S gold coins. Like the rest of this sale, even this group represents great diversity in value, ranging from the 1854-S $10 in AU-58 (PCGS) to one of the rarest coins in the entire American series, the finest known example of the legendary 1854-S half eagle. It is attractive and graded AU-58+ by PCGS. It has not been offered publicly since the October 1982 sale of the United States Gold Coin Collection, formed by Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Just 268 examples were struck, and this is the very best of the tiny group that survives today.
Finest Known 1854-S Liberty Head Half Eagle AU-58+ (PCGS) CAC. Images courtesy Stack’s Bowers
Rounding out Part VII are some pattern coins, including famous types such as a Gem Shield Earring quarter graded Proof-65+ (PCGS), a Schoolgirl dollar graded Proof-65 (PCGS), a Washlady half dollar graded Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS), and an 1852 Ring dollar in gold graded Proof-65 by PCGS.
The D. Brent Pogue Collection Part VI, Masterpieces of United States Paper Money will be offered on the evening of Thursday, March 19, 2020, at the Stack’s Bowers Galleries Official Auction of the Whitman Coin & Collectibles Spring Expo. It will be followed on Friday evening, March 20, 2020, by The D. Brent Pogue Collection Part VII, Masterpieces of United States Coinage. For more information contact Christine Karstedt at [email protected] or visit the firm’s website StacksBowers.com.
