Summary: Sam and Dean seek solitude miles from civilisation, far from pursuing hunters and the FBI. As Sam’s visions become more frequent and new abilities rise to the surface, there’s nothing Dean won’t do to keep his brother safe. But there’s something in the woods, and it’s waiting for Sam. There is nothing Dean won’t do to keep him safe.
STOP making posts that say, “If you scroll past this, you have no heart!” or, “You’re a monster if you scroll past this.” As someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, this really triggers me and harms me.
As someone else with OCD I wanna chime into say that posts like “reblog or you’ll have your worst week” or “like and reblog or your mom will die” also really trigger me and directly tie into my obsessions. If you MUST reblog them at least tag them as reblog bait! And stop tagging reblog games as reblog bait instead, tag them as reblog games!!! So people can properly blacklist what they do and don’t wanna see because those are both very different!
What people without OCD don’t understand is that even though we know it’s not real, we take those posts seriously, even the “good” ones like “Reblog money cat for money” or something can seriously fuck with our OCD. It leads to horrible panic attacks and giving into compulsions. If you wanna help us out please PLEASE tag reblog bait of all kinds.
Holy fucking shit is this important or what!! I’m going to do my best to remember to tag like this from now on
can i just chime in that i have hyperempathy as a part of my autism and it makes it really hard to scroll past those “you’re a bad person if you don’t reblog” type things without getting MAJOR anxiety about it. like even if its good content that deserves to be rb’d, don’t guilt people into it
I don’t know which disorder is causing my problems with this, but yes, please do not guilt people into reblogging things. It mostly doesn’t even help your post to be noticed – a positive approach is better for everybody, in (almost) every situation. From what I heard, those guilt-based strategies are annoying to people who don’t have any mental problems too.
Surprisingly, nobody likes to be guilted into something.
something shocking happens that affects both Sam n Dean equally yet only Dean gets a closeup reaction shot
Sam spends a scene literally blurred into the background
a recurring character who’s close to both boys hugs Dean but not Sam
Sam flinches in response to Dean’s behaviour
take two sips when:
Sam is forced to work with someone who hurt him; if no one bothers to ask how he feels about this, down the glass; if the person in question is Lucifer, down the bottle
Dean is casually cruel to Sam/dismissive of his suffering (e.g. “’smores foot” etc.)
Dean’s shitty actions are justified by the narrative while Sam doing something not nearly comparable is demonised; if Dean’s shitty actions are justified by another character, down the glass
a new recurring character is introduced and is closer to Dean than Sam
one of Sam’s like five friends fucking dies; if said friend is a woman, down the glass
someone makes a rape joke to Sam; if said person is Lucifer, down the glass
down the glass when:
sam is sexually assaulted
sam’s agency is violated
sam doesn’t stand up for himself even though he really should
sam justifies the actions of people who have hurt him
down the bottle when:
sam doing something completely normal and healthy to preserve his own physical or mental wellbeing (e.g. going to college) is treated as a betrayal of Dean
fandom calls Sam “arrogant” or “selfish” for no reason; if they do this while bending over backwards to defend Dean, smash the bottle over your head and welcome the sweet embrace of unconsciousness,
