Y’all. Back before Christmas, I won @elnawen’s drawing for a piece of traditional art.
And this gorgeous thing is what I got. Ahhhhh
The picture doesn’t do it justice. There’s amazing metallic gold highlights and the little snowflakes are adorable. It feels so bright and warm. Totally getting this professionally framed.
So, the Flamingo Lounge was a gay bar. It’s not just the pink Flamingos or the fruity drinks with tacky umbrellas or the fact that the patrons were mostly male couples, but because it was coded as the complement to the Black Spur bar.
You see the picture of the woman on the wall at the Black Spur. Dean is pointing right the fuck at it, you see it.
Now the walls of the Flamingo Lounge? Full of men. The pictures on the wall were all men.
Same kind of black and white pictures in old timey frames. Only men.
This joint was coded as a gay bar. It’s also a parallel for the Black Spur.
So I’m wondering is whether Dean did Harv the bartender too, like he did Ann Marie. Because did you see the way Harv didn’t just let Dean hang out, playing the piano in his joint after hours (this wasn’t a demon joint, Dean had been there before Crowley, Dean was still there when Crowley left him, and Crowley with his minions only started hanging out there because of Dean), Harv left his own fucking joint to give him some privacy when Dean asked him to.
Why would he do that? Because Dean is such a good customer? No, man. Harv tapped that. Harv tapped that like Ann Marie tapped that, because these joints were clearly paralleled.
