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.

12 years old Dean Winchester pretending to be a middle age mom on facebook: No Marjorie your not going crazy or doing anything wrong. My Sammy went through the same thing when he was 5 years old. They will grow out of it. #momlife
I'm currently watching season 12 of spn for the first time and oh my god, samdean are so married. Wow. Y'all were not exaggerating.
Do you have any late seasons (doesn't necessarily have to be season 12) wincest fic recs?

Your ask has made me realize I really need to make a masterlist of my rec lists, because my tag is a mess right now lol. I do have some recs for you! IDK if you care about spoilers, but I tried to avoid s13-15 fics just in case. Many of these skew angsty with a positive ending, because that's my jam.

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:
“The epic love story of Sam and Dean”: Supernatural, queer readings, and the romance of incestuous fan fiction by Catherine Tosenberger: http://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/30/36

Second, why fans ship Wincest from their own viewpoints, along with some additional information and explanations:
“What is Wincest and How Do I Ship It: A Comprehensive Guide” by brothersintheimpala: http://brothersintheimpala.tumblr.com/post/47043171835/what-is-wincest-and-how-do-i-ship-it-a-comprehensive

“Wincest and Romanticism” by fannishliss: http://fannishliss.livejournal.com/3414.html?thread=6230
Last, here’s some general why Dean and Sam act the way they do essays:

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!

An Update:
Also, happy Antifa mob anniversary
That s6 episode is also the one where dooku punts obi wan into orbit is it not? top ten Star Wars moment tbh just bc of how fast he forcibly exits stage left
YES, ANON, IT IS
It’s also the fight where Dooku literally rolls Obi-wan like a bowling ball:
But then I was looking at it again (for like, the thousandth time), and I realized just how good Dooku is in this duel. (And how almost good Obi-wan is.)
(And small disclaimer here, I have no knowledge of “real” sword-fighting aside from what I’ve absorbed through general cultural osmosis and a curious google instinct, this is just an interpretation from my over-excited brain.)
Anakin, for the most part, sticks with Djem So as his primary fighting style, incorporating elements of Ataru in his more acrobatic moments. This holds true throughout the entirety of TCW and is the form by which he eventually overwhelms Dooku in RotS.
Dooku, however, gives a minor masterclass in sword(saber) fighting in this sequence, not only using his preferred Makashi (although I have to say, the man can take on Obi-wan and Anakin at once with one hand behind his back and my gods, is that not evidence of skill), but also demonstrating his ability at
Djem So:
Soresu (at least a bastardized form, but I can’t be the only person who recognized that stance Dooku uses):
and Ataru (I mean, Dooku did train Qui-gon):
But what I really love is the fact that Obi-wan tries to adapt to this, matching Dooku’s *Makashi:
and Ataru (in this case, exactly copying his movements):
Which...I mean, Obi-wan is essentially being a mini-Dooku here, although he isn’t quite at Dooku’s level for a variety of reasons I have discussed previously in terms of Obi-wan never being on his game around Dooku and actually consistently underperforming when he’s in the presence of his Grandmaster.
But you have to hand it to Dooku for not only winning a(nother) duel against two of the best Jedi in the Order, but doing it with style.
I love this evil, old man.
