It’s unfortunate how many people didn’t take this message away from the debate.
Bill Nye was just SO ENTHUSIASTIC about the topic. You could tell.
For God’s sake, the man was trying to teach people about photosynthesis when asked what his favourite colour was. That’s a man that ADORES science and absolutely loves teaching people.
Suddenly, I was 12 and watching a Bill Nye The Science Guy episode at my grandma’s school while she was decorating the gym.
Bill Nye is like the Mister Roger’s of science
he legitimately cares about what he is talking about and enthusiastically encourages people to take something positive away from it
I really would love to see that crossover, repeatedly, in every possible position. Even if it would end in tears because let’s be real, everything the Winchesters touch ends in tears. Poor little shits.
“Look kid,” Sam says. It’s the third time he’s tried the good cop routine and Dean can hear it wearing thin. “We know you had nothing to do with the murders. But we also know you’re not the only werewolf in town.”
The kid tips his head and sucks on his lips, the total absence of fucks glaringly obvious. Dean is both frustrated as hell and grudgingly impressed because, hell, they’ve dealt with demons less sassy than this.
Sam sighs, and Dean has to cough into his hand to keep from laughing because that particular brand of exasperation is usually reserved for him. “Just be straight with us.”
For some reason, that’s hilarious. It takes a second before Dean remembers the dude they’d seen the kid with before they’d picked him up. Big, serial killer looking guy, sporting leather and a possessive hand on kid-snark’s back. Oh man.
Dean snorts and gives Sam patented ‘what? it’s funny’ shoulders when it earns him a glare.
“Trust me, dude,” the kid says. “I’m being as straight with you as…well, I was gonna say humanly possible but…”
A flash of canines has Sam rolling his eyes and sue him, Dean sorta wants to high-five the kid. You know you’ve been hunting for too long when you start rooting for your mark.
“You’re driving a stolen car,” Sam says. “You’re carrying a fake ID. Every word out of your mouth so far has been bullshit-”
“Says the hunter posing as an FBI agent,” the kid says, tapping a nonchalant beat on his water bottle.
Sam pulls out bitch-face number eleven. “Is anything about you real?”
I needed some Puppy AU today to dull the pain of yet another snowfall. We have all learned a valuable lesson about playing catch in Merlin’s workroom, and Arthur is practicing his best hello my love you are looking particularly fey and sorcerous today face

Does anyone else find it a little sad that Dean is the only Winchester to identify the “family business” as “saving people, hunting things,” where saving people is the first priority? It wasn’t John’s priority. He was on a vendetta against the “thing” that killed Mary and anything evil that got in his way got ganked. Saving people was a happy by-product of his true aim: revenge.
After Dean gives his now-famous line, Sam counters with “…I gotta find Jessica’s killer. It’s the only thing I can think about.” For Sam, saving people didn’t come first, like John, hunting was a means to an end, in the earliest seasons.
But for Dean, a character whose entire sense of self had been sublimated into a need to save and protect others, “saving people” came first. His need to save everyone, especially in those earlier seasons, came directly from what he believed his father wanted to achieve as a hunter. He believed that John’s goals were to save people, first and foremost. And so, Dean believed if he just saved enough people, if he protected Sammy well enough, John would be proud of him. And if Dean saved people, other children wouldn’t have to go through losing a parent to monsters and demons like he did. Other families wouldn’t be torn apart at the hands of evil.
But Dean could never make John proud by saving people, because that’s not what John valued. And there is no way to save everyone, so Dean could only ever fail in his goal of saving people. Dean’s tragedy is that even his laudable traits are turned against him, increasing his self-loathing through guilt and blame for his failure to meet an impossible standard. No wonder it’s such a crushing burden.
The Hebrew name for God (יהוה) is closely linked to their word for “existence” and contains letters that are just breathing noises, and if you don’t think that’s the coolest thing ever then you’re probably not into theology or linguistics, and that’s kinda disappointing but I’ll let it slide
