Cant Put Into Words But When Ppl Assume Cas Is Just A Personality And Not His Body I Feel Weird About

can’t put into words but when ppl assume cas is “just” a personality and not his body i feel weird about it…

like

it becomes his body the same way an organ donation becomes your organ. and i think dean gets that. “it’s not an it, it’s cas!”

in that season, cas is certainly feeling connected to his body, and dean actually knew that better than sam. cas said, “amara ripped lucifer from my body.”

i don’t think it’s as simple as disembodied personality inside a body.

if cas is “just” a personality inhabiting a vessel, you could argue we all are too, esp in SPN world…a soul can inhabit different bodies. how we interact with and relate to others is greatly affected by what kind of body we inhabit and when we happen to meet.

tldr; personhood is messy. and not totally sundered from the body you inhabit.

Indulged myself for a homework assignment

besides the well-known fact that tony stark's arc reactor literally powered his heart and symbolised his second chance at life, it's been not just alluded to but clearly stated by marvel from the very first iron man film that it represents his heart:

this point is made very clear again when it's used to portray his death:

of course they did this; they're such obvious metaphors that are easy to rely on for beautiful visual storytelling. they undoubtedly were aware of the potential for these scenes and carefully considered them since the beginning.

but you don't really get to use each of these moments more than once if you want them to matter, so they had to choose which one of tony's stories needed to be told through carefully picked parallels.

and who did they use them on?

yup, that's right. steve rogers. steve, who literally ends their painful fight by breaking his heart.

steve, whom tony literally hands his heart and says "here, take this" while he's devastated, disappointed, and at one of the lowest moments of his entire life.

so, platonic, romantic, alterous — the intricacies of his feelings don't even matter. they're only for tony to know.

but what we as an audience know, what we were explicitly told by marvel, is that the feelings tony had for steve were so strong that they were the equivalent of getting his heart actually shattered into pieces, and being reduced to offering your desperate, mourning heart on a platter as a way of saying "take it all, there's nothing left of me that you don't own now".

these were not accidents. we were meant to understand how profound his feelings were. so many things spiraled out of their falling out — the entire universe's faith was at stake as a result. tony was not indifferent to him. his problem was that he felt too much.

tony's achille's heel was always steve rogers, and that will forever be the backbone of the marvel universe.

hi, i come bearing links to impala 101 facts<3

since recently some people only just found out abt the impala being an automatic (and the silly idea that therefore, somehow, that means dean can't drive stick, which is demonstrably false started circulating) i thought we should bring back this post of impala facts.

it's an especially useful resource for fic writers to get things right abt the impala.

like for instance: the impala does not have a center console! it has a bench seat not individual seats that go up and down! there's no storage space under the back seats! they only have lap seat belts! the gas cap is located under the license plate! the seats are vinyl not leather! and so much more.

please check out the post it's a goldmine for fic writers who love accuracy.

also this post which links to a 3D model of the impala, great ref for artists.

(not including hurt/comfort because I think that one would win and it often includes both angst and fluff. Also not giving an 'other' option because I want you to choose xD)

I want to know something regarding the pronunciation of the word "iron", and I'm only asking native speakers and those who've been living in an English speaking country since forever (as a child), but it's not quite their native language. The latter is my definition for "second language". And only that. If you went to school in an English speaking country for a couple of years (for example studying abroad), that doesn't count as a second language in this case, please press the last button then.

The description in the poll is only a "more or less", not an absolute.

So...
