I only learnt now, ten months later, that the episode where Jack becomes God is not the last episode of Supernatural.
There’s one more after it, for whatever reason.
In my opinion they could have left it open-ended with Sam and Dean just riding into the sunset, it was a good and hopeful ending, but apparently that wasn’t good enough…
Anyway, I’m going to watch it now even though I’ve heard it’s a trainwreck.
Well, the highlight of it was Dean getting pie to the face.
Having seen the brothers say goodbye to each other as one of them is dying fifteen times before really takes the gravitas out of it, and I really felt like I had heard it all before.
The montage of Sam’s life was… painfully cliché.
Not quite as painful as the second version of Carry On My Wayward Son, though.
All in all it just tried to wrap up things that didn’t need wrapping up and felt entirely unnecessary. It would have been better to just leave it open after episode 19 and let people imagine whatever they wanted.
Well, we can always just ignore that episode 20 exists, which is what I’m going to do.

very cool how the gender binary in the emerging trad terf synthesis is like, there are two genders, the one that does bad things and the one that bad things are done to. the only thing in the world is immorality and it flows from unexperiencing agents to unacting experiencers.
which naturally appeals to people who would like to be perceived as inherently lacking the capacity for immorality. for whatever reason
anyway remember bell hooks’s very cogent critique of second-wave feminist organizing in ‘sisterhood: solidarity between women’ where she argues that by “bonding as ‘victims’, white women’s liberationists were not required to assume responsibility for confronting the complexity of their own experience … Identifying as ‘victims’, they could abdicate responsibility for their role in the maintenance and perpetuation of sexism, racism, and classism.” it’s not by accident that terf gender essentialism dovetails so much with other biological-determinist & essentialist assumptions including Extremely Racist Ones
Things about journalism that tumblr never seems to grasp
- Headlines have to be as streamline as possible. Aka, they can’t include names unless the article is about a well-known public figure.
- Those “water is wet” articles do more then explain what you already know, they’re providing evidence and sources that support/explain what you already know.
- Oh my god, there’s information after the headline.
journalists are required to use the word “alleged” or “allegedly” until the person they’re talking about has been found guilty in a court of law
“Water is wet” things have a history of being disproven when studied scientifically, shouldn’t be taken that uncritically, and not that many decades ago they were wall-to-wall misogyny and racism.
Ooh, I have one: The effort to verify something with quantifiable evidence isn’t…an insult to the original claim, or something.
Example: if a group of people has been claiming to experience workplace discrimination, and a study is conducted confirming that they are, in fact, experiencing workplace discrimination, the study isn’t evidence that the researchers “didn’t believe” that the discrimination was happening! It’s just the scientific method!!!
Like it’s really not about “doubting” that group of people’s experiences or some kind of insinuation that they’re lying about being discriminated against. Especially since the research is probably just…asking??? people????? so you can be like, “we asked 3,000 people about the workplace discrimination they have experienced using the following survey questions, here’s the breakdown of what they said.” Like no matter how much you “believe” people you still need that information in an organized and collected format to actually DO anything with it
Research is never redundant or unnecessary! It gets laws passed! It gets policies changed! It changes how we train educators and therapists and people in positions of power over the vulnerable!
so i know plenty of you unspoken hero’s have managed to stick around watching supernatural every week & keeping the show running, but has anyone else awoken after years of not caring about the show to find destiel trending on twitter and have caught up to the season and are now spiraling through tumblr, twitter, & youtube and staying up until 3 AM reading smut on AO3. that just me? I thought I left this shit behind in my teen years but I am unemployed due to covid so I have so much free time on my hands and now all I can do all day is think about and digest as much shit about destiel as i possible fucking can. i’m so scared coming back for the finale will be a mistake.
Spoilers for Supernatural season 15 ending!

I just had a dream that tried to fix some of the things that wasn’t answered in episode 19 after Chuck was defeated and Jack became the new God. That’s how big of a loose thread they left, it invaded my subconscience.
In my dream, an emissary of Heaven came to ask Dean what he wanted, anything in the power of Heaven, and Dean asked for him and Sam to be made angels, “With the wings and everything, yeah?”
But he also went “Cas! Cas! Cas!”
The emissary told him to relax, he had two wishes to use either way, he could have both.
The angel that was in charge of newbie angels arrived in the form of Wednesday Addams. (If the whole Dorothy and Oz thing can be real, Wednesday Addams can be an angel vessel…) She told him it took an eternity for a new angel to earn their wings, literally an eternity, but I also got the feeling that was a set time frame for the angels, X hundreds or thousands of years.
But what about Cas? Wednesday explained that after the transfer of power from Chuck to Jack, nothing could be brought back from the Empty, but Castiel had been released as energy and was now part of the power/energy of Heaven. Insert some glowy effect to illustrate said power.
Dean looked sad about that, because it’s pretty far from having Cas back, and even while dreaming I thought it wasn’t a satisfactory ending, but at least they addressed what had happened to Cas. And the idea of Dean and Sam as angels is amusing, they’ve tried being just about everything else, so why not?
I stan gay angels in a long coat who are hated by heaven and protective over humanity, and if you don’t, you should
I made this video for TikTok, but might as well share it on all my social media.
Essential tremor is mostly harmless, but annoying at times. I get by fine, medicines help, and I usually use big glasses and cups and don’t fill them to the brim to avoid spilling, I chose that glass specifically because I knew I would spill.
Shaky hands is not a normal part of aging, or anything, if it’s interfering with your life, it’s worth talking to a doctor about it.
Feel free to spread the word, since essential tremor is not well-known about despite being one of the most common movement disorders.
