"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."
I can’t overstate how much the guy who hangs up on everyone else without even saying bye and the gay angel with autism are on the phone to each other all the time. All the time. They have matching Nokia smartphones and cas loves emojis and Dean occasionally feels the urge to have a curly phone cord he can wrap around his finger
me @ me : more wing content plz? also plz tell me what u think cas is saying to dean…. i tried to figure something out and all i could come up with was they are low on cheerios for Jack
my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in
…i did read some of the novels, but i couldn’t get through them entirely…
…and so i genuinely have no idea whether or not this is serious. coz i mean, obviously, it could be a joke. but it could also have legitimately happened. people who have only seen the films underestimate the amount of random things that happen in the books that could come off as utterly silly and ridiculous if removed from their context.
Haha, well, it is pretty much what happens. Sam is looking for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol and is despairing that he will ever find him. He sits down and does what any self-respecting Tolkien character does during their moments of hopelessness and bursts into song.
It’s a really good song (ten year old Ship had it memorized) and as he begins the refrain a second time, he hears Frodo’s voice answering weakly from above. Frodo is poisoned and despairing and beaten but he is still a Hobbit and cannot resist a singalong even while on the brink of death.
Dean gets a bit over excited and tries to take his flannel and shirt off at the same time! 🤦🏻 He’s a bit stuck but Cas just looks on fondly and trying not to laugh at his idiot. 🥰
Damn I just realized that since the Rohirrim didn’t read or write (wise but unlearned, writing no books but singing many songs) that means Eowyn couldn’t read or write and since she marries Nerdboy McGee who loves reading and writing more than anything you can your bottom dollar one of the first thing that happens in their courtship/marriage is Faramir and Eowyn wholesome tutoring sessions in the Minas Tirith library (!)
#what would you do if we kissed in the minas tirith library [50 emojis]
I feel like it’d be an exchange; Faramir teaches Eowyn his love of books and writing and in return she teaches him the many, MANY, songs of the Rohirrim that have never been written anywhere.
I’m crying……….. because what if they co-author a book of Rohhirim folk tales and history together T_T
Also Faramir keeps trying to over-analyze everything like “Ah, I see, the horse keeps tripping because we all must stumble our way through the unpredictable nature of this world” and she’s like “No babe, the horse keeps tripping because it’s funny and this is a story used to cheer up frightened children.”
now i’m thinking about claire playing roller derby… her derby name is supernovak and her skates are black with rainbow stripes on the side (alex gave them to her) Jody is like i support you but i genuinely feel like youre safer when youre hunting monsters. Donna LOVES it and goes to every game she thinks its so fun. maybe Donna is the one to get her into it actually. Dean comes to a game and cheers the whole way through he’s like thats my DAUGHTER except he doesn’t call her his daughter he says like. niece or something. but he tells everyone who will listen that he knows her. Jack is also completely starstruck obviously he thinks Claire is SO cool and wants to play too but Cas won’t let him (Claire teaches him to skate though). Kaia is a skateboard girl so she doesn’t play but they do go to the skate park together <3
Dean can hear the sneer in the man’s voice, and he looks up from his beer to see what unfortunate soul is on the receiving end of it. He can only see the back of the other guy’s head and his nerdy, oversized trenchcoat, plus the way he shifts awkwardly on his feet.
“No?” the nerdy guy says, and that voice has Dean suddenly ten times more interested in the drama unfolding.
“You don’t exactly look like your profile picture,” the sneering asshole says.
“I don’t?” Nerd says, head tilting like he’s looking down at himself.
“You actually looked attractive in it.”
Dean cringes. He’s been the victim of some minor catfishing in the past, but nothing so bad for him to be that big of a dick about it. Everyone’s Tinder pictures are a vision of their best-looking, filtered selves. Dean’s certainly a lot rougher around the edges than he advertises.
“I’m sorry,” the nerd mutters, shoulders slumping.
Dean’s not having that, because the Roadhouse is too good for some douchebag with a goatee, and this poor nerd sounds so defeated, like this isn’t the first time he’s been rejected so summarily, without even a chance to show off his potentially winning personality.
Dean slips out of his booth and circles around to get a look at the nerd he’s about to play hero for.
And stumbles, nearly falling flat on his face, because he’s not even sure how someone could imply this guy isn’t attractive. He’s not sure how this guy could have a picture that makes him look even more attractive than he actually is. Dean puts on a smile and approaches quickly.
“Hey, I thought that was you!” he says. The nerd looks up at him with a panicked expression, which doesn’t ease much even when Dean winks. “I can’t believe you never texted me.”
“I’m sorry, you must have —”
“I mean,” Dean forges ahead, before the nerd stupidly exposes Dean as a fraud. “Am I really that bad in be— oh, I’m interrupting.” He does his best to look contrite, gives the goateed asshole — who now looks more confused than anything — a slap on the shoulder. “Lucky bastard.” It’s not even a lie, because somehow he got this incredibly hot nerd to agree to a date, but he’s also a stupid bastard, because he’s tossing it away.
Dean takes his leave, headed back to his booth with his beer, waiting for Jo to bring out his burger. He doesn’t look back to see what ends up happening with the nerd and the asshole, but a couple of minutes later, a shadow falls over him.
“I believe I owe you thanks,” a voice like gravel says. “I’m Cas. Can I get you another beer?”
It starts small; a few low-light ferns in the corner of the library, a spider plant in the kitchen, a small planter full of forget-me-nots by the front entrance. Cas dutifully waters the ferns from a spray bottle every morning.
Then the books start showing up. The nightstand on Cas’ side of the bed piles up with them: “Growing Food Year Round,” “Waste Not, Want Not: Household Composting,” “Companion Planting: A Guide to Permaculture.” The search history on Dean’s laptop is full of inquiries on the best planting times, the merits of organic seeds versus regular ones, and soil testing kits. All the ad banners are for worm towers and composting bins.
Cas ropes Dean into helping him clear out a ten by twenty foot plot on the south side of the bunker, and putting up a fence to keep the deer out. He plants carrots and onions and potatoes in clean rows, denoted with signs written in Cas’ no-nonsense capitals. He plants fruiting vines along the fence, alongside lavender and peonies and marigolds to attract pollinators. There is a little patch of herbs (both culinary and magical) by the gate, a pair of sharp pruning shears hang close at hand.
After hours of weeding and pruning, his hands develop new calluses, and an increasing number of Cas’ jeans sport permanently ground in dirt stains. When the first green bulbs of tomatoes start to form, he sends Dean approximately seven dozen pictures, close ups of little bunches of under-ripe fruits.
Concept: Aang takes the gaang into the spirit world to help him deal with A Thing. Except he’s never brought multiple people into the spirit realm before and so he mucks it up on the return trip - and everyone ends up swapping bending abilities
I love all of your thoughts but this is how I see it going down:
Toph loses her earthbending and absolutely freaks out, until she realises she can now firebend. Toph without her earth sense but with fire? Terrifying
Zuko sits down to teach her. He teaches her to feel that strange flame inside her chest, and holy shit, she can feel the same heat around her. Agni in the sky, the flames flickering in lanterns, her friends around her. She might not have her earth sense, but she can feel where everyone is and see how strong and alive their fire-spirits are. It helps.
She also quickly discovers the joy of throwing fire next-to-but-not-directly-on people and hearing them shriek like little babies. It’s amazing.
Sokka gets Katara’s waterbending as karma for all the times he called it dumb water magic. She laughs and he threatens to douse her in cold water and see how SHE likes it and it’s a whole thing - until she starts teaching him. And then Sokka gets to participate in a part of their culture that was always out of reach for him. He gets to feel physically connected to the water and to the moon, to Yue, in a way he never has before. Katara gets to share this huge part of her life with her brother. It brings them closer as siblings.
Katara gets earthbending. She struggles to pick it up at first since it’s different from the fluid motions she’s used to. Aang gives her a loving speech about how it’s okay, they all take time, look at how difficult it was for him to learn! And then Toph calls her a little bitch and tells her to bend her damn knees more and Katara rage-bends half the mountain. Aang shuts up. Toph screams her head off in support
Everyone discovers their new bending pretty quick, so Zuko figures he’s the nonbender now. Not a big deal. He can fight without bending, and Sokka isn’t any less badass for not being a bender–
And then he sneezes and gets propelled out a window
He’s the Avatar now.
He spent 3 years frantically hunting the Avatar and now he IS the Avatar. This is clearly some kind of cosmic joke. He’s already the Fire Lord, he doesn’t have time to learn three extra elements and maintain peace and harmony around the world, he can’t even maintain peace and harmony among his goddamn nobility
Aang tries to calm him down by patting him on the back and offering to teach him his signature marble trick and Zuko is so close to a breakdown at that point that he just stares blankly at him and says, “That would be nice”
