“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.”

The hate being thrown at Jared is nauseating. Honest to God, disgusting, vile and truly upsetting. I KNOW there is a lot of animosity towards the royals, but there is ZERO excuse to heap hate and threats on someone for offering condolences.
You need to re-examine your lives. Seriously, people reveal themselves during times like these. People are celebrated online for being disgusting humans because… ya know… funny internet I do what I want energy.
I’m tired of online bullies who for SOME GOD FORSAKEN REASON keep getting validated by others because NO ONE wants to stand up to them. You’re not cute. You’re not edgy or funny. You’re pathetic. Jared’s deserves this because why? He was beIng a decent human being?? What kind of fucked up backwards world are we in that angry unstable people get more support then genuinely decent people?

Well, this picture of Sam gave me no end of trouble! "A nice pose," I thought. "I'll do a quick sketch of that," I thought. No! Two scrumpled up attempts later, I resorted to willow charcoal, which is always my most natural medium, and (the big guns) turning the reference upside down and drawing the abstract shapes while smooshing the shadowy bits with my fingers. So, that was my process, and here's Sam, finally. And I like him, but he seems to have de-aged, down to about thirteen or so. Oh well, here's cute little Sammy, then.
Eyeliner kitty!

holy hell ???
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'm sorry because I wish I had something more interesting to say but I just feel a giant hole inside me. Sam and Dean's bond is one of the most moving that I have ever seen in a piece of media and I'm not smart enough to articulate how many things it makes me feel. And I don't mean it in a romantic way at all,it's just so deeply touching that it feels wrong to define it in any way. I am never ever going to emotionally recover from that flashback sequence
