THEY DID IT

YOU ARE THE CLONE OF YOUR OWN BABY: CONFIRMED

S O M E H O W

Ps - it looks like Syaoran didn’t know! He didn’t know until now!

Maybe neither of them knew until now!

AND WHAT A SURPRISE THIS WOULD BE?

HOW DO YOU CONTEXTUALISE THIS KNOWLEDGE???

How much therapy will you need to unpack the idea that you just gave birth to the guy you’re actually a clone of who existed before you did in the past?

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAhA

Clamp I love you so much this is the best thing you could have done

hey sorry to ask you but what is the destiel lamppost thing? if u know what it is

Hi anon!!! I wasn't ignoring you I just wanted to be able to sit down and type out the lore.

So "why lamp"/the destiel lamp thing starts with 15x10, The Heroes' Journey, in which Dean and Sam are stripped of the luck/protections that being written as protagonists gives them by Chuck (very meta) and Dean ends up needing cavities filled.

Garth gives him laughing gas for the procedure, during which Dean has a dream of a black and white 50s style dance sequence. It takes place in the bunker and while initially it's Dean dancing with Garth, eventually Garth leaves and Dean runs over to pick up a lamp from the corner of the room to dance with. Here's the whole thing:

But once it's Dean and the lamp, the dance becomes markedly more romantic - he's dancing with the lamp as a partner, not like the tap dancing he and Garth do side-by-side.

Also important to note that they're dancing to "Let's Misbehave," which is about sex and also was written by Cole Porter, who was gay. This is a really good breakdown of the dance itself, the significance of the song and Cole Porter and its connections to old queer Hollywood.

At the end of the episode, Dean sees Bess and Garth dancing in their living room through the window and says "You know, I always thought I could be a good dancer if I wanted to be."

This is pretty clearly associating the dream sequence, and Dean dancing with a lamp, as about Dean longing for a partner and therefore the lamp as a stand-in for that partner.

NOW. Meta was written as soon as this episode aired with people linking the lamp to Cas, and there has continued to be much better meta than I can write here - this one is in-depth and connects it to themes across the seasons and Dean's years-long character arc. "Cas is Lamp" even has its own superwiki page.

But besides all the normal meta deancas reasons and the fact that this comes at a time when Dean's character arc had been building both to him wanting to settle down with someone AND that someone being Cas (this is the episode right after The Trap and Dean's "I should have stopped you/of course I forgive you" prayer), Cas (and angels broadly) is associated with light and lamps throughout the series, perhaps most iconically in 4x16.

So, after 15x18, "the lamp thing" was something frequently cited and that we held onto as another thing they'd dropped alluding to (nay, ensuring - because they'd surely somehow have to wrap up Dean's own arc of wanting a partner to settle down with) a happy deancas endgame where Cas is rescued and they live happily ever after.

And then. 15x20 happened. And "why lamp" took off as part of a long list of "if they were just never going to mention Cas again, let alone resolve the confession or this very key part of Dean's story arc of wanting to settle down, why did they include [long list of things that make no sense with the ending we got]." Why lamp has become shorthand for a long list of missing links and loose ends and things that just don't add up. If deancas wasn't going to be the happy endgame, then why lamp. Why did they drop so many clues and work up to a very clear resolution for Dean's character arc if they were just going to drop it. Why lamp. It's one of those things that will haunt us because we will never get an answer. Okay grandma, let's get you to bed. But why lamp.

OH MY GOSH

I CLICKED ON ADORE THIS MORNING, HAVE BEEN READING ALL DAY, WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I REALIZED YOUR TUMBLR SAID THE 3RD PART WOULD BE DONE SOON, AND THEN

AND THEN

YOU POSTED WHILE I WAS READJNG FHE LAST CHAPTER OF THE SECOND PART????

ITS SO GOOD AND THE TIMING JS A SIGN I SWEAR

I needed to write my English exam today and I didnt. Sirius better watch out, imma try to steal his daddy.

BUT SERIOUSLY THE RELIEF WHDN THE "NEXT PART" BUTTON SHOWED UP WAS LIKE THE MOST ENDOROHINS IVE GOTFEN ALL DAY

Anyway. I hope this isn't weird. Im appreciative. And uh. If you ever wanna drop random lore from your little universe I will eat. It. Up.

YOURE AMAZING

First of all, please write your exam, I promise I'll keep the boys warm for when you get back.

Some random lore:

Sirius is a math and science nerd through and through and has no attention span for reading fiction, but Remus reads CONSTANTLY, and is particularly into queer romance. One time, Sirius gets out of the shower to find Remus sitting up in bed positively sobbing as he reads A Little Life (which I have never read because I don't do trauma porn, but Bestie assures me is the saddest book in existence). Sirius does not understand why daddy puts himself through this, because it really doesn't seem that enjoyable to read something that makes you this miserable. On the flip side, though, daddy also reads a lot of queer smut, and sometimes Sirius will snuggle up next to him and glimpse a spicy passage and then ask for a bedtime story. They never get very far into the reading, because again, Sirius has a limited attention span, and he'd much rather participate in a full reenactment.

Chapitre 229 - The Way Forward/The Way to Proceed

Things are heating up in the Jam Jar!

I really adore the way the panels are set out here. On the first page they start out jagged and unaligned, like the shards of reality floating around in space or like different fragments of a puzzle finally coming together at last. 

In the next page they’ve all united into two equal frames, only ever so slightly out of line with the glass panel in the frame above it. 

And in the last panel there are no frames - the point of view expands to encompass them all, as they crank up their determination and all decide to break out together.

It’s such a beautiful visual progression that really adds to the moment. And the moment is: Exciting!

what is the pizza man montage?

oh my god anon i am so excited to be the one that gets to tell you about the pizza man montage

the pizza man montage is what they ran as the "then" at the beginning of 15x13, Destiny's Child. It begins with the "if the pizza man truly loves this babysitter" Cas quote/scene and then cuts to Cas kissing Meg and saying "I learned that from the pizza man" but then is just??? 10 seconds of multiple clips of Dean eating pizza. Starting with Ruby calling Dean the pizza man in 4x01. just. explicitly setting up Dean as The Pizza Man.

And for what, you ask????? well we don't know. we just don't know!!!! the episode had nothing to do with pizza. meg is in it briefly (well. the empty taking meg's form) and so is ruby but then why????? make dean The Pizza Man????? it looks like a destiel fan edit but no they made it and approved it and aired it on television. for what. why.

anyway you can watch the whole thing here

Watching a scene on repeat to try and work out where in the room a sofa is, or whether there are two.

Is it really important for my fic? No.

Am I too invested now to walk away without an answer? Yes.

a lamp from real life

Hello hello ᯓ★

I recently bought a star projector and thought to myself that it was very Vessel coded for some reason. What do you think ?

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚(love ur fics btw, they're always so beautiful) ⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚

hi, hello! 💜

definitely Vessel-core. now i'm thinking II taking Vessel on a 'winter date' at home. the stars are blocked by clouds and it's cold outside but II bought a star projector and wants to surprise Vessel with it. Vessel thinks it's just a cozy dinner, cuddles and a movie night but then II is very insistent that he waits outside his room for a moment and closes his eyes when II leads him inside and it's his usual nest that Vessel promptly drops the packets of snacks he was holding into because the walls and ceiling are covered in colors and patterns of stars. (depending on his mood/mental health, i can see him getting emotional about it because it's so pretty but wasn't it too much? he didn't get II anything :::(( ) he loves it, he wants to kiss II under the stars and look for constellations (if it's that type of projector) and if not, just look at the pretty colors and love on his partner because he knows him so well and has he mentioned how much he loves it? when they go to bed, II has to make sure Vessel is actually sleeping and not still looking at the stars

thank you, anon, for popping in, i'm glad to have you here! 🌻 i hope you enjoy your projector and that it lasts for a long time to provide you with plenty of cozy moments! i also appreciate you as a reader, i'm waving in your direction and perhaps sending a hug if that's alright 🫂

draw a cyborg whumpee ? (based on the post you made)

it’s a very rough sketch since I spent so much time on my other art pieces today, but hopefully I’ll have time to digitalize and color it later tomorrow ^-^
