God I Need A Job So Bad Rn (im Opening Commissions Very Very Vyer Soon These Are Just Wips Yet But Ill

it’s dean-and-lucifer hours ~

the most black-and-white winchester party line is that people are good and monsters are bad, yeah? lucifer, though, looks at human beings and sees mainly the potential for them to become demons. humanity itself is flawed, but human souls have the potential to become demonic, and so to lucifer there isn’t a huge amount of difference between a human and a demon. from this perspective, the black-and-white winchester party line makes no sense: humans aren’t a distinct category from monsters that can be categorized as morally different. “people are good and monsters are bad” would have no meaning to him.

this is another one of those things that underhandedly complicates the “monsters are bad” idea that doesn’t really go anywhere overtly but is very much there. like, imagine you’re dean, and your whole life is spent figuring out who’s a monster and who isn’t so that you can kill or save the right things. then you meet some vampires that don’t drink human blood; you find out sam has demon blood and isn’t as clear-cut human as you’d be comfortable with; you go to hell and are on the path to becoming a demon yourself, etc etc — and over the course of all this, your definitions of “human” and “monster” start to blur. and then you encounter this Thing that looks at these two separate categories you’ve built a whole life around keeping separate, and goes “this is one category. not only is the line between human and monster blurred, there’s no line at all.” 

and dean couldn’t even really deny that without contradicting himself! he is the one who repeatedly remarks that he doesn’t get people, that monsters are easy but people are just fucked up. the monster of the week episodes that turn out to be just people are some of the scariest on the show, and dean barely hesitates before treating those 100% human people like any of the non-human entities he dispatches on a regular basis. those people aren’t on their way to becoming monsters; to dean, they’re just full-on monsters, period.

so lucifer shows up and takes that idea that has been floating around for four seasons and goes all-in with it. this is the hill lucifer is willing to die on, that humans and monsters are functionally the same. 

meanwhile, lucifer fits dean’s most basic definition of a monster: he’s a non-human entity that kills people. does lucifer consider himself a monster by this point? hard to say, but whatever he thinks he is, he thinks he has the authority to make the kinds of decisions dean has been making all along about what types of beings are good and what types are bad, and to kill the ones he deems bad. 

what ends up happening here, imo, is a total deterioration of what “monster” even means. there are several definitions, and nobody can meaningfully agree on them, and according to some of them it’s possible to move from human to monster or monster to human or to be partly both or to be fully both at the same time — and it all just stops making sense. dean and lucifer are not characters who are at all equipped to learn anything from each other, but it is just interesting to look at the similarities between their perspectives and what that does to what the show is saying about monstrousness.

paradise lost satan really said “i tried to do something and i failed, and now i realize that i was always destined to fail, and i want revenge for that but i also see that my every effort to spite authority will just satisfy that authority more. so i guess i will just be as good as i possibly can be at the role that i now know i was always meant to play, in which the more i succeed, the more i’ll disgrace myself. i cannot escape. i never could have escaped. i am going to be the adversary, and i am going to destroy myself, and there is nothing i can do about it. ok. ok. let’s get started.”

fnaf oc!!

"SAM IS LUCIFER'S TRUE VESSEL BECAUSE HE WENT AGAINST HIS FATHER" THIS. SAM IS LUCIFER'S TRUE VESSEL BECAUSE HE WAS THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF A FAR MORE 'DEVOUT' BROTHER" THAT. NO. sam winchester is lucifer’s true vessel because of how much he truly, honestly, believed in god and christianity growing up. how god was one of the only things that sam could lean on during his troubled childhood, only for him to find out what god is truly like. to have to fight on the opposite side of the angels he once prayed to. to see god’s flaws so up close that sam had to aid in the death of him. much like how lucifer loved god dearly, was the favorite son, until he looked closer. until he started questioning god, instead of having pure faith. THATS why sam winchester is lucifer’s true vessel.

ouch

The problem is the main things what they’re asking for is impossible for 99% of people, if we take off for a week from our job we lose that job. If we walk out for a week from university (since emailing and asking for notes to catch up undermines the whole point) we miss critical info fail the module and fuck up our degree. sure the side stuff is more acessable but when the main strike idea can’t be put into action your going to have all the momentum and impact of a dead slug, that’s why people are having difficulties.

hi anon. I understand that, and I empathise with the people who want to be doing more but can't, because capitalist society is built to punish us whenever we attempt to fight for a better life. But, again, you're approaching this in an unnecessarily defeatist way. The strike period hasn't even started for the northern hemisphere, and you're comparing the impact of the more 'accessible' strike actions to a dead slug.

I think if you approach resistant action with the idea that only massive gestures are worth anything, you're not going to get anywhere. You can make a difference by volunteering more this week, donating more to Palestinian escape funds and aid organisations, you can buy e-sims and connect human beings during the worst period of their life. It might not mean much to you, but donating the money that gets a Palestinian family food for the day, that helps them be able to text their families overseas - small actions can and do mean the world. One day I went fuck it, and kicked up a huge fuss on twitter because Gofundme refused to transfer a Palestinian man his funds. And, because of that small action on my part, he's going to get his money, even if it's weeks late.

And, just. One more time for good measure. This strike is being called by Bisan, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza who could quite literally be killed at any second. I know you mean well, but genuinely - what alternative does she have at this moment? It's nearing the end of the fourth month of genocide in Gaza. Palestinians have spent almost one third of a year being ruthlessly murdered with practically zero effective international pushback. If they're holding onto hope that action like this can make a difference, I'm not going to be pedantic and miserly about it.
