Is This A Promo About The Time Sam And Dean Decided To Role-play In The Bunker? (x)

Is this a promo about the time Sam and Dean decided to role-play in the bunker? (x)

Inspired by the season one promo pics in the desert…

dean absolutely railing sam while cas watches…and sam is completely mindfucked and doesn't even notice, but dean does and he's getting off on the fact that he gets to show cas what belongs to him.

i cannot ever suspend my disbelief enough to see sam as the top r u kidding.. this guy? this guy tops? th.. this guy?

Sometimes I feel like the only person in this fandom who's glad neither Sam nor Dean smoked in the show (cigarettes or anything else), doesn't headcanon that they did, wouldn't want to see it in a HBO version, and doesn't enjoy reading fic or seeing art where they do. 😂

Immediate disclaimer: Your headcanon is not my headcanon and that's okay! Headcanon and let headcanon! I'm not at all trying to shut down the smoking posts. Everyone can see it how they want, it makes no actual difference to me. While it was another post that prompted me to write this one, I'm not doing it as a way to shame that person or something, I just didn't want to get all negative on the post they're having fun with. I'm also not judging anyone who does smoke. Presumably we're grown-ass adults who can have differing opinions and understand that it means fuck-all in the grand scheme of things.

I personally cannot stand cigarettes. Not the smoke itself nor the smell of it lingering on a person, the taste of it in their mouth, the way it permeates everything and chokes the air I'm breathing whether I like it or not. I grew up with a smoking parent, and even though she never did it in the same room as me, the smell was always repellant. I also grew up in the era just before it started becoming illegal in pubs and restaurants and certain public spaces, so I was well and truly over it from the start. I see no romance in it. I get how the visual can be appealing, but it's too connected to real life sense memories for me, and that immediately ruins the vibe of whatever I'm reading or viewing.

Honestly, I'm glad they didn't smoke in the show. It would've tainted a lot for me. And I think it's easier to imagine cigarettes into the scenario than it would be to imagine them out of it.

Surely there are people out there who feel the same way? But I only ever see posts in favour of (for example, since it's almost always him) Dean being a smoker, and long reblog lists of people agreeing. But considering how statistics have been falling steadily all over the planet for a long time, is it just a matter of smokers and non-smokers liking the idea of Dean smoking because it's inoffensive as a matter of fiction? Or are non-smokers who don't like the idea nervous to speak up? Or just don't care enough to?

The thoughts are thinky, that's for sure.

Oh, and my arguments against Sam or Dean smoking:

They'd never get the jump on any monster with a decent sniffer if they went around reeking of cigarettes.

Smoking dulls your sense of smell, so they'd be less likely to notice things like sulfur that give away the presence of certain monsters.

Running away from or after monsters would be a problem with your lung capacity compromised.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. Feel free to share yours.

Supernatural Poll: Cigarette Smoking

I often see headcanon posts about SPN characters, mostly Dean, being cigarette smokers. It made me wonder if there's a correlation.

The poll isn't about casting judgement on smokers or non-smokers, so no getting personal, please. I'll share my opinion in a separate post so that if you want to reblog the poll alone (please reblog for a larger sample size!), you can.

Thanks!

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
