i think a lot of heated rivalry criticism boils down to the fact that people don’t understand that romance can in fact be a genre on its own with its own conventions rather than a sideplot to a bigger storyline. “heated rivalry had no plot” the romance IS the plot. it is a romance storyline. like this cannot be that difficult to understand. what do you want them to do? go on a mystical quest?
I think we really need to watch some other media maybe

put some respect on his fucking name please
I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
i have said it before but i really think cas would be obsessed with taking pictures of dean all the time like no matter when or what he’s doing whether they’re sexy or cute or not. he would think they’re all equally as beautiful even if they’re objectively bad photos. he would end up having to pay for extra storage for all of his dean pictures. and whenever they’re apart cas will be wistfully looking through all his dean pictures and he will still always ask dean to send more pictures as updates.
this would really just be another way that dean and cas would make poor sam crazy. like i can imagine dean getting sick and so sam and cas have to go on a hunt alone. sam is driving and cas is checking his phone every two seconds and it’s starting to drive sam crazy. ofc he’s accustomed to this sort of thing with dean, but he’s still not used to cas being glued to his phone like that. so now for the rest of their trip sam is going to have to deal with cas worrying over dean and checking in with him obsessively and asking for hourly photo updates.
on this trip sam also learns dean and cas also both have the same annoying habit of yapping to anyone who will listen about the other. and he also catches a glimpse of default picture that cas shows to everyone when he’s bragging about his beautiful husband. and while ofc it’s gorgeous to cas, it’s objectively kind of goofy like cas took the picture when dean was mid sneeze. sam knows that dean would absolutely hate it and there’s no way that he signed off on that one. so he starts giggling a little bit when cas shows off the picture to their waitress at the diner and cas doesn’t understand why he thinks it’s so funny.
cas: [signature head tilt] what?
sam: [giving a little amused scoff] nothing, dude. i just can't believe that’s the picture of dean you chose to show to people. don't you have, like, a thousand other pictures of him?
cas: [with the utmost sincerity] i have exactly two thousand four hundred and eighty six pictures of dean and they are all good ones.
sam: [can’t help but laugh] cas, man, they are not all good ones. he's literally mid sneeze in this one. listen, i know you think he's beautiful no matter what or whatever, but really - what's so great about this one?
cas: [lovesick puppy eyes] it's great be his nose is all twitchy like a bunny. it's so cute. 🥺
sam: [shaking his head] okay, clearly you can't be helped.
Just fyi, all the shirts and hoodies you're stealing? I'm gonna fuck you in all of them.
jeez these gap employees are hardcore
i think. they would be friends ❤️. sideburned trenchcoated space guys

not only does fluttershy smoke weed, the first time she did was at a party one of the other ponies brought her to. she was passed the bong and weakly said “oh… sorry. i don’t smoke, i’ll cough and it’ll be really embarrassing.”
other ponies are like “nah you can do it! we won’t laugh!” and then she was like “ohh… okay…” and then just took the fattest bong rip, held it for 3 seconds, exhaled. everyone is in shock. she then does a weak little not-even cough and goes “ohh… i knew it… and now you’re all staring at me :(” and runs away
i was so right with this one tbh
How it feels to settle into bed and close my eyes and return to the totally made-up scenario I was last engrossed in
You are not staying in the tags
If you tell transmascs to detransition (even as a “joke”) you’re transphobic, btw. If you openly state that you would respect us more as “girls” you’re transphobic, btw. If you constantly equate transness with femininity and get mad when someone pushes back on it you’re transphobic, btw. If you view feminine transmascs as “basically cis” you’re transphobic, btw. If you exclude transmascs from your activism you’re transphobic, btw. I hope everyone stops beating around the bush and just labels you for what you are: a transphobe, plain and simple.
