Free To Be You And Me

My elderly father started talking about how frustrating he finds “the pronouns thing” and I was like. Oh no. He had such a good stand on this, he’s been they/them-ing his cishet siblings for god’s sake! Is he regressing?? And he was talking about how difficult it is to remember, and how onerous it feels to expect strangers to keep track of it, and I’m like oh no oh no.

Then he says, “I mean, the problem isn’t the gender thing. The problem is four words: she, her, he, and him. We got rid of stewardess and turned it into flight attendant. It doesn’t matter if the flight attendant is a man or woman, so we got rid of it. We just need to get rid of those. I don’t need to know.”

“You don’t need to know… people’s gender?”

“No. I don’t care, I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to remember it.”

So we can relax. It’s just a continuation of his crusade to they/them the world. He doesn’t want to remember anyone’s gender. He’s abolishing the genders.

I love that cas’ autistic energy is so endearing to everyone. eileen loves him, mary called him one of her boys, sam is always grinning at him, meg was IN love with him, rowena calls him tweety-bird, bobby adopted him and treated him as a son immediately, claire loves him and created a weird father-daughter relationship with him (even though he is wearing her dead father’s body #ripjimmynovak), jody and charlie and kevin and jo and ellen all liked him. and obviously, most of all, dean, who met him once and decided he wanted him around forever.

Hahaha, that last episode destroyed me.

but this pain I recognized as a just retribution

he doesn't even know I'd die for him!

So we all know by now that Dean canonically makes Cas watch cowboy movies with him.

Now consider that because Dean is so out of touch with pop culture and stuff that one day they’re looking for a new movie together and they see Brokeback Mountain and Dean is like “oh yeah didn’t Claire compare our Halloween costumes last year to that movie? Maybe we should watch it”

So they watch it and they both just sort of like stiffen up in their chairs and death stare the tv. And then when the movies over they just sit in silence not looking at each other for like twenty minutes before they both get up to leave at the same time and bump into each other and they do that weird little dancy thing you do when you run into someone and then they each retreat into their rooms and don’t talk or make eye contact for the next three days

THE COMPLETE LACK OF ANY SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN JIMMY NOVAK AND DEAN IS SO FUNNY
