do you have at least one openly queer family member? (not including yourself?
I am 90% sure that the "ace discourse" era isn't actually over and that aphobes just generally shut up about it but definitely believe all that shit still. Just saw people being VILE towards aspecs. In a post from less than 10 days ago. Like obviously not everyone but holy cow they do NOT like us still.
Tumblr gifmakers are better than $1mil worth of marketing. I’ll see endless ads for a show and be like meh but I’ll see one good gifset and suddenly I’m on s2 ep10 finding blorbo from my gifs
favorite word?
this is a sick sadistic question to pose to me as a word enjoyer, but if i absolutely had to pick one it’d probably be “catacombs”. really fun mouthfeel + dead bodies. what more could you ask for.
[guy who has been holding an insane amount of tension in his body for a week straight] bro why do I feel so awful
Doing another one of these easily forgotten or missed SPN lore posts since people seemed to enjoy the last one (my fellow lore junkies showed up)
Anyways, without further ado:
- A garrison of angels is also called a ‘flight’.
- Castiel was present for the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah, the Tower of Babel, Cain & Abel, David & Goliath, and the first terrestrial evolution (that would go on to be humanity) as a fish pulled itself onto shore.
- Sam had prophetic dreams depicting Jessica’s fiery death days before the event took place. He blames himself for her death due to his efforts to ignore these warnings and hold onto his newfound normalcy.
- In Season 5, Dean convinces past Mary of his identity by recalling that John initially won Mary over because he knew the lyrics to every Led Zeppelin song. Dean later, in Season 12, gifts a mixtape full of Led Zeppelin songs to Castiel.
- Dean and Sam are named after their grandparents, Deanna and Samuel Campbell.
- Jimmy Novak and his bloodline are listed on an angelic artifact in the tie-in novel War of the Sons as a ‘perfect vessel’, explaining why his body can withstand holding Castiel (and Lucifer) without any internal destruction.
- Castiel’s name was first spoken in 3x06, “Red Sky at Morning”, as Sam reads aloud a binding invocation that calls upon numerous supernatural entities: “Aziel, Castiel, Lamisniel, Rabam, Erlain, et Belam!”
- Jo Harvelle grew up in the roadhouse around familiar hunters like Bobby Singer and John Winchester, who often hunted with her father Bill Harvelle. On her blog, she called them “Uncle Bobby” and “Uncle John”.
- Jo and Dean end up repeating history; Jo’s father, Bill Harvelle, died while on a hunt with John Winchester, in which Meg describes the man as having ‘held in his guts with his hands’. Jo ends up dying while on a hunt to kill Lucifer with Dean, and makes a comment about how her ‘guts are being held in with an ace bandage’.
- Dean is allergic to cats.
- Dean received the ‘samulet’ prop from the Fan Fiction episode to make up for having trashed the real one; he hangs this up in Baby’s front windshield.
- According to psychic Oliver Pryce in Season 10, angels minds can only be interpreted as ‘colors’, beyond human perception and understanding.
- The same exact clock, a slim, wall hung face with silver ‘sun beams’ extending outwards, can be seen in nearly every episode.
- Dean’s favorite song is, according to him, either “Ramble On” or “Travelling Riverside Blues” by Led Zeppelin.
- Cas tried to warn Pamela Barnes, the psychic who first identifies him after saving Dean from Hell, not to look upon his true form. She ignores his warning and continues the conjuring anyways, which leaves her eyes burned from their sockets.

i kinda don't like those posts that are like "it feels so good to be a hater in private instead of bullying people" because i don't think the only two options for negative opinions are Privacy or Bullying. being a hater in a public forum is perfectly fine, and even the most vitriolic negative opinions are not automatically bullying just because someone who might have their feelings hurt by them sees them. there's a difference between being negatively impacted by something you see and being actually targeted by negativity.

seeing someone drop an absolute dogshit off the mark screed against something you love that is not actually harmful in any real way but nevertheless activates the enrage phase of your boss battle and then learning to either just block them or keep scrolling without it ruining your day is a valuable skill. and i think we've all seen what spaces that demand constant positivity end up like. developing an inconsequential bullshit tolerance is necessary to be a well balanced member of a social species.
In the late 1700s, smallpox was one of history’s deadliest diseases, killing millions and scarring survivors for life.
English doctor Edward Jenner noticed that milkmaids who caught cowpox, a mild illness causing small hand blisters, never got smallpox. He wondered if cowpox could protect against it.
Jenner took material from a milkmaid’s cowpox sore and inoculated an eight-year-old boy, James Phipps. The boy got mildly sick, recovered, and later resisted smallpox exposure completely.
Jenner called his method “vaccination” — from vacca, Latin for “cow.” His bold experiment laid the foundation of immunology and led to the eradication of smallpox in 1980, the only human disease ever wiped out.
His discovery has saved more lives than any other in medical history.
