A friendly reminder that drawings are not created from nothing and don’t suddenly appear out of nowhere just to make your blog look pretty. When you look at someone’s art, you’re looking at time and hard work. You’re also looking at years of practice—sometimes a few years if they’re just beginning, sometimes decades. But there’s always effort put into any drawing, and with fan art, that effort is voluntary.
So remember to be kind and appreciative of your favorite fan artists! It can be scary to put your work out there, and they don’t have to do it. ❤
I haven’t seen this post in five years but it’s still true and good to remember!
Oh god, nonnie. 9×06 is one of my fave Destiel episodes because I know, what an episode BURSTING AT THE LITERAL SEAMS with ridiculous queer/romanticsubtext and the most heartbreaking display of romantic pining that I EVER did see *weeps* *sends Berens gift baskets until the end of time* I tend to ramble on and on about this episode, but I’ll try to answer your q. without going off-base 😛
So yep, we know Dean watches Saturday Night Fever from this scene alone – a homoerotically charged scene that held no qualms in showing Dean’s sexual attraction to Cas (atop many other times) – and how nice that it takes place pre-Nora Date which isn’t actually a date: a deliberate narrative contrast to Dean and Cas’ DATING TROPE-LADEN time spent together.
(Seriously,Dean?)
Not to mention that this scene could serve as a double entendre taking into account what we already know about Dean and his *ahem* fanboy proclivities (for good ‘ol Patrick Swayze, Dr. Sexy, Brad Pitt, Gunnar Lawless–if you ask Dean, his list is extensive; I’d sell my soul to see it).
With my parents sitting on either side of me as a kid, I watched John Travolta roll his hips across that colourful dance floor and flirt his way through women. Saturday Night Fever was also a movie that set off queer lightbulbs for all kinds of men besides Dirty Dancing. Sexually agile dance moves everywhere.
And remember the famed underwear scene? Pfft, I can’t quite forget it no matter how hard I try (pun intended).
It’s a pretty safe bet to say that Dean finds John Travolta sexually attractive.
In the movie Tony Manero is the black sheep of the Manero family – a tall dark-haired hottie, and Tony escapes his mundane life by dancing at the disco club 2001 Odyssey. Annette is Tony Manero’s best friend who, alongside wanting Tony to be her dance partner, silently pines for him (and a more permanent relationship), but this pretty woman Stephanie catches Tony’s eye on the dance floor. He leaves Annette – and her pining heart behind – for Stephanie, and that obviously doesn’t sit well with her, yet Stephanie still replaces Annette as Tony’s dance partner.
Hmm, I wonder who’s who?
Fun fact: Tony borrows his friend Bobby’s 1964 Chevy Impala later on.
Another friendly reminder that Misha was asked to portray Cas as a jilted lover.
For some reason, I made this really complicated. Like in my head I was thinking about old issues of Step-by-Step magazine, and I wanted to do something similar to airbrush illustration from the late 80s, so I really put a lot of effort into it. But then when I was done I sat back and realized I probably could’ve made it work with a blur filter and a layer mode.
(These are all crap, I know. I’m very clumsily realizing that there are cools things to be done in Photoshop. And so you get to suffer. Because my Tumblr is my pinboard.)
A commission for umbrellas_can. She asked for a digital sketch of a hurt/comfort sort of scene, with Dean patching up a injured Cas, secretly enjoying his vulnerability and being able to touch him. I think I was going to do a more woobie Cas, but Dean ended up in that role a bit more probably.
I WAS SO MAD AT THE END BUT THEN THEY WERE BOTH ON THE BOARD AND I
OH LOOK they both get on the GODDAM BOARD that would make too much sense wouldn’t it
“Cas, listen to me.”
“Dean-”
“No, hear me out. We may have only been together this short time, but Cas, you… you changed… everything about me.”
“Dean, I don’t think-”
“Lemme get this out. You know it’s hard for me to talk about this kinda shit anyway, and this water’s fucking freezing.”
“But Dean-”
“Damnit Cas, listen! My whole life till now has just been me and Sammy, and you you you just fucking breeze in here and-… and I don’t regret it.”
“Dean…”
“Any of it. Sam is safe on the boat with Jess. I could have been to, but I came back for you. Because… because you just make me so, so stupid!”
“Obviously.”
“Cas, I think somewhere in this whirlwind of crazy and classes and quite frankly some mind-blowing sex that I… that I’ve fallen in lo- wait what the fuck do you mean ‘obviously?’”
“Dean just get on the goddamn board there’s plenty of room.”
“…oh. I knew that.”
