The Hawtness

Well we just went through a rough patch where my baby boy was possessed by the power of the Mark of Cain and the First Sword. Demon Dean was hot for the first few minutes of debauchery and I liked the Crowley pal-up but as the episodes wore on it was hard to maintain my crush at cruising altitude. His masculinity was on hyperdrive in all the ugliest ways. The smirks and the jokes dried up. His easy charm erased. Thank jeebus he is back in fighting shape and he and Sam have once more mended the rift that arose between them. So now they’re on a case with a bunch of rich pricks (the joke is WASPS) and a couple of vengeful spirits (who are turning out to be shape shifters, actually, so now they’re breaking out the cutlery—silver, natch) and I just have to say it’s so cute when Sam gets flirted with. I love the play of—is it modesty?—the “aw shucks I’m no flirt” discomfort that flits across his face and is, in its way, hella flirty. And then when he actually turns it on…he’s got a certain intensity, a different flavor than Dean’s but still intriguing. I love how women are always giving him the side-eye, which of course he seems not to see.

I had to look up their heights the other day to make sure Dean (Jensen Ackles, btw) wasn’t short. I thought by his overall sexiness and the way he carries himself that he was tall, plus I was trying to math him against other people and he was also taller than other men, but in comparison to Sam he looks a little shrimpy. But who wouldn’t? Sam (Jared Padalecki) is 6’4”. But never you fear. Dean clocks in at a respectable 6’1”. Knowing that, I swear Sam is more like 6’8” lol, cuz when they’re standing right next to each other he seems to loom over his brother. Talllllll drink of water that one.

Uh-oh. There’s a part of Dean that still takes pleasure in killing, methinks. He just shot the shape shifter (turns out there was only one) a few more times than was necessary to kill her. Sam is perturbed. Demon residue? Dean mans up and brushes it off like always when he’s about to fuck shit up. This will lead to nothing good, be sure. Finis.

I am in recovery from a substance use disorder and I work a 12-step program. At nearly every meeting and during most conversations with other people in recovery, I hear phrases, tidy little aphorisms, some of which are ubiquitous--One Day at a Time, Keep Coming Back, It Works if You Work It--and others that you hear less often but which are also part of the canon. There may even be a few originals thrown in. But for now and for the immediate future, these phrases will title my entries, and serve as my prompts. Naturally, this is a recovery-focused blog and I hope to reach others in my community. But alcoholism and addiction touch countless lives and here, all are welcome.
