Thinking Thoughts

THINGS THAT HAPPENED:

Jensen Ross Ackles made the acting choice to pick up Castiel's trench coat and fold it gently like a flag because he believed that's what Dean would've done.

Jensen Ross Ackles was so pissed about the Destiel conflict and Dean treating Cas so harshly in the so-called divorce arc that he confronted the writer (Bobo) about it. He asked for explanation and toning the conflict down.

Jensen Ross Ackles, when asked about what he was most excited to tackle with his character in the final season of the show, took a time to think about his answer and then WITH ZERO HESITATION said: CAS.

Jensen Ross Ackles called Castiel's goodbye (aka the confession) a pivotal moment for the whole arc of the show.

Jensen Ross Ackles asked a crew member to record the confession ON HIS PHONE because he wanted to have the og, unedited version of the confession.

Jensen Ross Ackles said Dean would've said "I love you too" and then hugged Cas.

Jensen Ross Ackles admitted to the crowd of thousands of fans that Dean's biggest regret was not being able to save Cas.

Jensen Ross Ackles wrote a song about Cas.

Obviously at one point in time all their faces were being plastered across the galaxy for assorted bounties, but I like to think that as time goes on post-RotJ, Leia goes and becomes the extremely recognizable President of the New Republic, Luke becomes the still fairly-recognizable Grand Master of the Jedi Order (even if it’s mostly because of the robes/lightsaber), and Han becomes the galactic equivalent of Tony Hawk, who is still extremely famous but absolutely no one realizes it because his Just Some Guy energy is off the charts.

He’ll be out in public and something will prompt him to make an offhand comment about having been in the Rebel Alliance and people will be like “Oh, you were in the Rebellion? That’s so cool. Did you ever know anyone important? Like President Organa-Solo?” and he’ll wearily snap “THAT’S MY WIFE!!”

At least one assassination attempt on Leia’s life has been thwarted because the person planning on slipping something in her drink at an important function started chatting with him as cover not realizing who they were talking to and he sensed something was fishy before they could slip away.

One day he goes to the Jedi Temple to pick up his kids from a training thing and a new-ish Jedi recruit who’s a little too overzealous about security calls Luke in to make sure he’s the right guy, and when Luke shakes his head and, holding back laughter, very seriously says “No, I’ve never seen that man in my life” Han just looks him dead in the eye and replies “We were alone on Hoth, kid. I should’ve killed you when I had the chance.”

#oh im obsessed#han has the space equivalent of twitter where hes like ‘was in the spaceport with the falcon today#the attendant said ‘oh hey that looks like the ship senator organas always flying around in’ and i was like ‘yes. because it is.’’ just like#tony hawk’s twitter via @harriisonford

#the smuggling circuit all know exactly who he is tho#tragically recognizable in all disreputable dives  - @whetstonefires

Well, of course. Han’s particular curse demands he be recognized or not recognized based on what would cause him the maximum inconvenience and irritation.

gay couples: [exist]

Dean Winchester: YOU CAN DO THAT???!!!

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

My instinct is to agree with this, but like, when I really think about it…

No money, no credit cards, identification is all vocal/fingerprints/retinal, so no wallet.

Again, doors are voice activated, or just unlocked by entering a code.  No keys.  

Communication devices are tiny and stick onto clothing starting in Next Gen.  TOS had bulkier communication that they carried around or kept in, like, packs and stuff, so the arguments for pockets is a little more valid, and if I remember correctly, those costumes did have pockets, tho I could be wrong about that.  But anything post TNG, the point is moot anyway.

Tricorders and phasers are really the only thing anyone’s carrying around, and that’s usually on away missions where they’d be bring their packs/holsters or just have them out.  I mean, who wants to stick a phaser in their pocket?  

So, yeah.  There’s not much little stuff people need to carry around everywhere.  And if they are preparing for a longer journey or want to bring bulkier things, well…just bring a bag.  It fits more anyway.    

what if i find a cool rock and want to take it home with me

Every time a member of the USS Enterprise has found a cool rock and taken it home, it has resulted in eleven deaths, six temporal displacements, the holodecks breaking again, and somebody getting turned into a lizard. Pockets are a privilege, not a right.

I’ve gotten more notes on this comment than anything else I’ve ever posted, but this is the best addition to it I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

Raise Your Glasses

castiel stays out of dean's head but sometimes words are hard to ignore and sometimes dean prays without meaning to, and castiel hears him say his name without moving his mouth and sometimes it's not his name, sometimes when castiel does something for dean, something small and kind, dean will think sweetheart and castiel's heart will clench but dean never says it out loud and why would he? and castiel has to pretend like he didn't hear, because really, he shouldn't even know about it, but he wonders what it would sound like spoken out loud. if it would sound the way castiel does, spoken in dean's voice.

shhh, they are sleeping

you could be lovingly kissing your saxophone player onstage every night for 40 years, if you weren't a COWARD

How would they play sax tho

Beautifully, with a dominant joy so infectious losing them would be like losing the rain

To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord’s work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

Still funny that spn s4 framed the difference between Sam and Dean as:

This is Sam Winchester, Boy King of Hell(tm), true vessel of Lucifer, who is fated to go dark side and fight on the side of hell, and he has a demon, Ruby, that he has a strangely romantic and sexual relationship with

Meanwhile, this is Dean Winchester, the Righteous Man(tm), true vessel of Michael, who is fated to fight on the side of heaven, and he has an angel, Castiel, that he has a [REDACTED]

so remember when ed comes back from his whole "i'm gonna be a fisherman" adventure, sees blown up ships and thinks about stede? and then he strangles an english guy? JUST LIKE HE STRANGLED HIS FATHER? WHEN HE BECAME THE KRAKEN?

when he recalls pop-pop saying "if you were ever good at anything, go and do that", ed remembers that ORIGINALLY when he became the kraken, he did that in order to protect his mother. HE IS GOOD AT PROTECTING THE PEOPLE HE LOVES. this is what makes him realise that the kraken has not always been horrible. this is when he makes peace with this part of himself. so he becomes the kraken again TO PROTECT STEDE.

i just need to talk some more about one of my favorite sequences of events in the entire season.

it's such a simple sequence, but such a perfect one. people do change. both into birds and otherwise.

Do you guys ever think about how canonically the vessels that angels occupy aren’t supposed to age (s12e10 when Cas is impressed his buddies kept their same vessels for well over a century. Also apparently Cas tells Jimmy when he first was requesting permission to inhabit his body, that Jimmy would not age while he was doing so.)

…but Castiel definitely ages. Obviously I get that this is simply because Misha himself is aging, but *my* in-universe headcanon is that he’s choosing it, (whether consciously or unconsciously) because he wants to grow old with Dean.
