"Never again shall you thirst, for I am come to wet your mouth with wine and water, to quench your thirst with kisses. Words of Love from my own lips will serve as your oasis, and you shall never want for drink again."
July 29-30, 2021 - Misha Collins trends as people share his poetry book’s preview.
His book is #8 on Top 10 Bestseller Books [x]. The previews are available here and on Amazon (you have to be logged in). The list of poems can be found here.
(click for higher quality, I had to merge the pictures because of the photo limit)
In light of the news of Misha and Vicki’s separation (in the book’s acknowledgements, last picture), please remember to not tag or message either of them. Consider censoring their names on Twitter so that it doesn’t start trending there as well. Give them space. No one but them knows what happened and they don’t need strangers on the internet asking them about it. That includes all kinds of condolences or attempts to comfort them. It’s not our business. Just. Let it go. Or at least please stay on Tumblr.
There are other things being discussed as well: Bridgewater trailer is released (a podcast starring Misha Collins) [x], and Misha has been confirmed as a guest at this year’s German Comic Con [x].
On July 29 are also Rachel Miner’s (Meg, the Empty) and Timothy Omundson’s (Cain) birthdays! Happy birthday! 🎂 Several cast members made them wishes, including Misha, Kim Rhodes, Emily Swallow, and Ruth Connell.
sam and dean were raised in the back of the impala by their survivalist father, who eventually drank himself to death
bobby, who eventually gets custody of them, decides that sports are a really great way for both brothers to work out their trauma; dean gets into wrestling, sam gets into swimming
jo, who’ll be left out over her own dead body, shoots like nobody else
eventually, the three of them make it to the olympics
they’re all hanging out after the opening ceremony and dean is like.. salivating over the sheer number of hot people around him. training doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for anything else
it’s a total lack of shame paired with his uncontrollable horniness that has him hanging around the aquatic centre to watch the events sam’s not in.
this includes diving
enter castiel novak: darling of the russian dive team and favourite for the men’s 10m platform
cas becomes human and is like oh dean i need you to teach me how to fire a gun and it will inevitably involve you holding me gently to reposition my arms then afterwards dean leaves and sam walks into the gun range in time to see cas hit every shot perfectly without needing any help whatsoever
Where did the Chrysler Building comparison come from anyway? Does Cas inherently know all measurments on Earth and beyond or did he stand next to it once to see who’ s taller
OMG, this made me snort-laugh so hard!
Now I’m imagining this badass many-faced creature with giant inhuman limbs next to a sky-skraper, biting on his tongue, while using his very strangely proportioned hand to measure who’s taller
Can someone with drawing skills please please please give us this image!
*slides art*
wait wait wait wait wait
this means cas is shorter than burj khalifa
somebody draw cas squinting up at this building that’s 400-500 metres taller than him
(done it)
(Yes, I had to.)
I needed to add this one here, so we have all the art in one single post .
Sometimes browsing your tumblr feed is like sitting in a crowded café, listening to several conversations going on at once, enjoying the atmosphere. And then one of your mutuals decides it’s time to be horny on main, like standing up and dinging a glass with a fancy little spoon to quiet the room and formally announcing
“I would like to inform you that today I’m thinking about chubby femboys and women wearing latex.”
and there’s mild applause and then the chatter continues.
In the wake of massive backlash against their new monitization/paywall program, Tumblr staff has given a statement in an attempt to combat one of the major arguments against it: that this would be a nightmare for fan writers and artists who are vulnerable to lawsuits for copyright infringement.
This post was meant to read as “haha, your friendly neighborhood Tumblr staff!” while actually being
intentionally vague and misleading. I’ve seen people laughing it off as Tumblr having an idiot for a lawyer, but the post is actually written very cleverly. So let’s break it down:
First off, let’s make one thing clear: this information is coming to you from Tumblr’s lawyer, not yours. Tumblr’s lawyer’s job is to protect Tumblr from legal trouble and is under no obligation to give fair legal advice to Tumblr users or protect them in legal matters.
Notice that they are careful to say that they encourage sharing these works on “the platform” in general, not through the Post+ system. This gives them deniability - they never explicitly encouraged users to post this content on the monetized platform.
Yes, fanfiction and fanart are frequently considered fair use when they are not monetized. And notice in the second sentence, they switch to the much vaguer term “fan work” when claiming that something can be monetized and still fall under fair use. Fan work could refer to something as innocuous as beta reading and other fan work related services. This could also be referring to works in the public domain. Again, they have plausible deniability.
And make no mistake, there is a long, ugly history of fan writers and artists being sued for copyright infringement. It is absolutely not legal to sell, through any means, fanfiction or fan art of copyrighted content.
And here we get to the real heart of the matter. Their TOS has a clause which states that you may not infringe on another person’s copyright. They have now vaguely but deniably suggested that you can monetize your fanart and fanfiction, but whether or not you’re violating fair use “depends.” They won’t give you specifics. Because it does depend - on whether or not the work is copyrighted. But their statement implies that there are special circumstances where the nature of a fan work based on a copyrighted source makes it ‘fair use.’ This is not the case.
Most importantly, when the copyright holder comes to complain, Tumblr will not protect you. They will say that you have violated the TOS by infringing on intellectual property rights, and we never told you to. You’re on your own, kid. I wouldn’t be shocked if this is used as an excuse to withhold your Post+ revenue.
And the DMCA takedown process? That’s just the process for getting the content removed from Tumblr. It doesn’t mention that the copyright holder then has the right to go after you, personally, with a lawsuit to recoup any money you made off your Post+ subscriptions, plus damages to the brand. Tumblr, meanwhile, can keep its cut of your subscriptions because that money was paid to them for hosting the Post+ service, not for the works themselves. And, as an online platform, they are not responsible for the illegal actions of its users beyond complying with DMCA.
This post is malicious and intentionally misleading. They intend to scrape a profit off of fan writers and artists on their way to the courthouse.
AU i’ll never write (but have horrendous fun imagining to myself before i go to sleep) where:
cas rebels and falls to earth, damaged and grace-weak, many years before dean is even born
he adjusts to humanity as best he can and finds he takes real joy in it. he forges his papers, gets a job teaching mythology and folklore at a community college, settles in, etc
he gets a reputation for being an academic who actually Knows His Shit in the hunter community, so he’s a common contact within certain circles, including bobby & the roadhouse gang
dean is pointed in cas’s direction when he and sam need help on a case
cas not only helps get them out of their current sticky spot, he ends up really saving the day, although he keeps his powers hidden! dean and sam just think he’s a very competent prof :)
so he becomes their go-to guy for research. he and dean hit it off especially well, they have a lot of lively discussions on campus about religion that would look like vicious arguments to anyone who doesn’t know them well enough to see how delighted they both are
dean shows up at cas’s office with coffee and a grin all the time and provides so much more fodder for the rumor mill than he could ever comprehend
and cas keeps……… helping. showing up to lend a hand when he can sense the brothers are in distress. using his dwindling angel grace to bestow blessings on them. slowly falling desperately in love with dean and knowing he can never tell him what he feels or what he really is because:
a) he’s pretty sure dean’s straight
b) dean hunts monsters for a living
c) guess what cas fucking is
d) although not for long because, again, he is more human every time he uses his grace to help them
this goes on for a very long time until cas either is forced to reveal himself or dean spots him using his powers and finds out, which could lead to any number of narratively delicious outcomes!
TL;DR: hot professor cas guardian angel-ing an oblivious dean for literal years
i’m gonna be honest guys this premise really did begin as an excuse to make cas wear sweater vests and tweed blazers with elbow patches. and also reading glasses on a chain around his neck like my grandmother
dean calls him “doc” affectionately and loiters in the back of the classroom sometimes while cas teaches — he makes up excuses to visit & calls cas on the road just to shoot the shit, and cas literally doesn’t understand that they’re genuine friends until sam mentions offhand how funny it is that dean does all of that. cas thought dean was like this with everyone. and then he’s just like 😳 oh…
also cas and bobby are dear close friends in this one. they get together and do old man things like play cribbage
if we’d have gotten dean and cas laying face to face on a motel bed talking to each other quietly while sam slept in the next bed over i don’t think we would’ve ever recovered. in fact i think it might actually have just killed us
i see you all talking about “gender envy” this and “gender envy” that, but i never see any respect for the originals. the pioneers. the founding fathers.
do milo james thatch and jim hawkins mean nothing to you
