love yourself despite it all. love yourself even when you said the wrong thing. when you messed up in class. when you got a grade you didn’t like. when you haven’t been outside in a week. accept yourself in spite of it all. accept yourself even if you didn’t get into the university you wanted. when you broke up with someone you thought you would stay with forever. when the guilt is eating you alive. when you feel like you can’t take it anymore. you are already whole, you are enough.

Had an extra splitting headache today for a few hours. So all the writers of the show and fic, who give Sammy head wounds and headaches all the time, fuck you very much!

I think representation was very well handled in The Expanse. People are just people and of all types, without that being their defining characteristic at all.

There is such a thing as "wrong" representation. 🤨

Woke comic books are laughable money-losers — but DC and Marvel keep pushing them anyway

What’s new and dumb is that DC and Marvel are changing the identity of established characters.

‘cause then maybe you wouldn’t be so cranky all the time. you know, seriously sam, this isn’t about just hooking up, okay?

1.19 provenance

“With Dean Winchester, Ackles uses every part of himself, anger, humor, tenderness, thought, sexuality, frustration – you name it – he’s a kaleidoscope – all filtered through this specific character – and not once does it seem like he’s pushing. Everything is at his fingertips, it’s all natural, it flows. This is what I mean when I connect him to the John Wayne-Gary Cooper brigade, with a little Cary Grant thrown in, a little Brigitte Bardot there for seasoning. Or Theda Bara. Ackles has a Vamp in him, which he was able to use - to often comedic but sometimes destabilizing fascinating effect - in the role. He vamped organically. He’d turn it into a joke, but that was only because he couldn’t help himself. He gravitated towards the Vamp. (This is connected to the Burlesque aspect of Dean Winchester: how he “plays” himself.)

“And just to make sure we don’t get too comfortable, the Vamp has some FEELINGS about other people NOTICING the Vamp-ness. He’s not sure he likes it. But maybe he likes it. He’s confused! Dean is not entirely in control of what he’s putting out there. He tries to maintain control. He fails. Repeatedly.

“Ackles never got sick of exploring this contradiction. He was able to show it as funny, but also as a trap, he was able to show how Dean used it, but then regretted using it. It’s amazing.”
