I Actually Really Enjoy When People Leave Random Objects In Art Galleries And People Start Treating Them

i actually really enjoy when people leave random objects in art galleries and people start treating them as if they're art. I think it puts people into a headspace where they start looking at normal objects differently and its an opportunity for them to realize that they can do this too outside of a gallery setting. You're not dumb or tricked for seeing something on the floor of a gallery and trying to figure it out or appreciating it as an art object. The world is full of beautiful and interesting objects even some random garbage on the street is worthy of that same level of examination. Theres art everywhere if you're primed to see it.

Essays on Wincest

For everybody who’s ever asked why people ship Wincest. Here are some of the best answers, essays, meta, critiques, and readings.

First, the famous Tosenberger essay and some reactions, along with one additional academic paper:

Second, why fans ship Wincest from their own viewpoints, along with some additional information and explanations:

This is in no way meant to be a comprehensive list of all SPN Wincest meta available. There’s loads more, as most of you already know. However, I was recently asked yet again why I ship Wincest, and I thought why not post some of the best answers. These essays are dated all throughout SPN’s run, so please keep that in mind while perusing them.

Thanks so much to all of these writers for their time, effort, and thoughtfulness!
