Bones (speaking loudly to Jim on the Bridge with Spock at his regular station approximately three metres away): Please don't tell Spock I said he was the best First Officer in the Fleet.

Spock: Why, thank you, doctor.

Jim:  You've been so concerned about his Vulcan eyes, Doctor, you forgot about his Vulcan ears.

Bones (in the Officer's Mess): Scotty, please don't tell Spock I said he was the specialest smartest most handsome boy in the universe.

Scotty: Doctor, he's sitting right next to you.

Bones: My god, man, what part of "sworn to secrecy" don't you understand?

Bones (in his quarters over dinner): Spock, please don't tell Spock I said he lights up every room he enters with his preternatural beauty and grace.

Spock: Doctor, this is illogical. You are speaking directly to me--

Bones: QUIET! He'll hear you. He has big ears

Thinking about @luckshiptoshore and her liveblog of watching Supernatural and how much I love following it and how great it is to watch someone just fucking ENJOY the show...

And then, there were a couple of people in my Discord who love the fic, but have never watched the show, and folks in there were trying to convince them that it was worth watching (duh!) and that knowing the show by heart makes the fic so much better and like yes, again... DUH! And then I was suddenly overcome with such a feeling of ENVY for all the people who still have the chance to watch Supernatural for the first time already knowing what happens in the end.

I mean, I watched 14 years of it in real time (after downloading and bingeing season 1) and at least I was clever enough not to be in the fandom trenches that whole time, and just enjoyed it for what it was, but the end broke my brain, and changed the whole show for me.

Because, like, here's what happens in Supernatural by the end: Dean and Cas are in love. It was not subtle. Dean can't say it because he never has a single moment of not being up to his pretty, pretty eyeballs in dealing with the ongoing and constantly multiplying trauma of being the man his father raised him to be, and god's specialest boy to boot, but in the end, Cas finally does just fucking say it. Not only that, he waits until he can use it to save Dean, and show him once and for all in an incontrovertible, undeniable way exactly how deeply and truly loved and SEEN he is.

When you watch it knowing that, knowing that the the whole story is going to end in that stupid bunker dungeon with Cas telling Dean who he is and dying to save him, the whole thing just HITS DIFFERENT, because the Dean of season one with his outcast liminality and pretty, pretty lips is the poor, lonely, weird boy who will one day be loved like that by Castiel, an angel of the lord -- an impossible Eldritch being who learned what love and selfhood are from closely observing Dean.

The consensus amongst most Supernatural fans is that it is trashy and bad and that its all evil queerbaiting, but I would contend that it's actually deeply entertaining, culturally rich and interesting (yes, even its flaws and missteps), often impressively well-written and acted, never puts on any airs about being prestige television or high art, but still manages to be ultimately epic and somehow sublime, and that it's a queer story, about queer love saving the universe, and it is so, so worth watching.

Like, my brainworms are not 'they strung me along all that time and then never let them make out', by brainworms are 'they told us so many times and in so many big and small ways, and now I need to watch every bit of it again and again and again so I can finally REVEL IN IT (and, friends, that is the Supernatural rewatch journey: realising it was ALWAYS THERE). My brainworms aren't 'but does Dean reciprocate??' they are: 'of course he loves Cas, and of course Cas knows that Dean loves him, and the one thing Cas can't have? That's just his chance at happiness and a soft epilogue with and for Dean, because Cas, impossible, cosmic, Eldritch being Cas, traded his chance at happiness for his family's lives and sacrificed himself for love of his son and Dean, because that is what you do when you love someone, and what he has watched Dean never stop doing for even a minute of his beleaguered life.'

And then, Dean dies (yes, it's stupid), and he cannot just go to heaven, drink a beer and hang out, he needs to climb into his magic soul vehicle, hit the axis mundi and tear the universe up looking for his angel and his happy ending in The Winchesters? Fuck me.

And like, it's the most romantic, and devastating story I have ever been told? And I love it so much?

i do think it's funny how different javier and damian are treated by the narrative both in their respective novels and when they're together in cpsm. like. you can tell. the world had a favorite and it has refused to change its mind despite having a brand new protagonist to torture.

the moment javier appears in cpsm you can basically tell that he's on a whole different level than any other character we've met before. just his mere presence is enough to put damian on edge because of how intimidating he is even tho he does nothing to indicate he means them harm. i would compare it to being in the same room as tiger but truthfully i don't think that even begins to make it justice.

rakiel himself is shaken by how powerful of a gravitas he has even tho he literally has a protagonist of his own right beside him! compare that to when he meets damian for the first time. yeah he's impressed and he does compare it to experiencing love for the first time after reading about it, but he doesn't really go on and on about him the way, idk, someone else did with javier in tged. or like he himself does when he meets javier.

and this is especially funny when you remember the difference between what damian and javier are respectively.

like. damian is a specially crafted vessel meant to contain one of the most powerful beings in the universe and allow him to unleash his full power so he can destroy the mortal realm and climb higher until he reaches the absolute. he's as special and unique as one can get.

and javier is like. some guy. like yes he's perfect and amazing and everything wonderful but that's because that's the way he was originally written to be, that's the way he as a character was meant to exist. but there is,,, nothing really inherently remarkable or special about him. he's not of divine origin, he's not a dragon, he's not made for a higher purpose. he's just. a guy. he just happens to be very, very talented in everything he does.

and yet. the narrative hits you over and over in the head with how javier is the most specialest boy to ever exist. and damian is there too <3

i dunno i find it really funny alsjajsk

tear the pitch apart

not really please be nice-ish but i'm submitting a pitch to a literary festival pitch war and i need to be the most specialest goodest writer so the pitch war runners will say nice things about me in front of 50 people and maybe decide to agent me. haha what

A farm boy follows a thief on an interplanetary petty crime spree in search of a mythical deep-space monster. The Monster At the Bottom Of the Universe is a sweeping space opera about the myths we tell to keep ourselves alive — and what happens when those myths come true.

it has to be 280 characters or less (i'm presuming including spaces a la twitter) and this feels so shallow and uninteresting to me but i don't have ROOM for more and i'm trying to follow their pitch construction formula. would you read this book, is the second line too cheesy, is it too vague (I CAN'T HELP IT), should i temporarily change the 41-character book name so i have a little bit more room to pitch the damn book rather than its title, do i need to start from scratch

[lunatriense]

You know people keep telling me that rwby are the main characters and should stop focusing and hating on jaune.

Yet here is the justice league x rwby dvd cover that has jaune on the front cover: no Weiss or Yang (the main characters) but Jaune is up there??

Why exactly he was on the front cover again?

Yuuuuuup. They couldn't leave their Most Super Specialest Boy off the cover, then people might think he's not the centre of the universe!

Actually I have been thinking about Greyson he’s just such a guy. He’s the most boring man in existence he got kicked out of college for jumping into someone’s car (he died immediately upon impact) he had horn implants and dyed his hair black he was a fugitive from the law. He did deep state investigative work in a prison themed nightclub and IMMEDIATELY fucked the scariest woman in the room. He still thinks about her constantly. According to legal records he crashed a bus killing dozens (no he didn’t) and collaborated with domestic terrorists (yes he did). His parents don’t know he exists and he was raised by the robot that controls the world, who his also his bestest friend. He’s the most specialest boy in the universe. He has survived several assassination attempts. He is a dead prophet he lives in a cave for like a month with his buddies and when the plot says “it’s time to go to space” he just decides to chill out on a boat instead. I love him he’s PERFECT.

Wiggog Y'Rath is the most specialest boy in the whole universe he even has a little crown about it he's my son he's my precious darling boy and if everyone doesn't clap for him right now I will collapse reality

LET'S GO MY BOY

Ultraman Zero

He's babygirl he wants to steal the Plasma Spark (Ultra Planet's fake sun that powers everyone just by being there) and instead of getting locked in Cube Jail for 100,000 years like the last guy who tried that, he has to fight a guy on Sand Planet Hell until he realizes the true point of fighting. While the guy's brother and the guy who made Cube Jail watch and judge him. But he realizes that the purpose of fighting is to protect those who can't protect themselves and gets to go fight his new arch-nemesis! He later went on to make a team of people who protect the multiverse (this was back in 2010), of which he was the leader and the one they were named after (of course). Given his ego, and his reputation, he'd be the equivalent of a precure pink or sentai red. Plus he's the son of the favorite Ultraman from the last generation, so he's doubly Tsupro's Favorite Boy. He also gets a friendship bracelet from a god in the parallel universe<3

PLEASE VOTE ZERO HE IS THE SPECIALEST MOST PRECIOUS BOY EVER

HE HAS LITERAL MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATIONS CMON PEOPLE

vote for Zero he is absolutely the magical girl they accidentally made strong enough to kill god
