Why is there still homelessness in a world with superheroes
Because homelessness in our current society is a problem of a requirement for life being sold for profit.
If you have speedsters or telekinetics or stone-shapers or whatever building houses, so long as they're doing so as a business then homelessness will still exist.
And if they do so as a charity, lobbying groups will fight them all the way to protect their interests. Not just housing developers, I might add: here in Ireland, one of the difficulties in building social housing is challenges by local residents concerned with the value of their existing homes being negatively affected. Higher supply drops prices, after all, and house prices are considered an investment.
There are a lot of issues in our world that superheroes would fix, but there are also systemic ones that their sheer existence wouldn't do anything for.

Scars
Scars by lemonsorbae Rating: Explicit Word Count: 147k
Dean Winchester doesn’t answer to anybody about anything. Not about his ever changing hair color or tattoos, not his music, and definitely not about all the fucks he definitely doesn’t give. Of course, then he meets pretentious, skinny jean wearing, ugly sweater buying Castiel Edlund who’s hardest lot in life is probably alphabetizing inventory at his uncle’s record store, and suddenly Dean has to answer for everything. Castiel, on the other hand, had long since accepted his fate as an anti-social, directionless, and misunderstood soul, with his cat, Meg, and a bottle of whiskey being the only company he needed. But then fate threw him Dean, the abrasive, infuriating punk who wears guyliner, and walks around like the chip on his shoulder is something to be proud of, and Castiel’s carefully constructed life was turned ass over teakettle. After a heated exchange upon first meeting, a mutual loathing afterwards, and the glaring opposites in their lives, neither of them sees the point of mixing oil and water. Which would be all good and well, except neither of them seems to be able to stay away from the other.
Enemies to lovers is my own personal catnip, so of course I was quick to click on this fic. There's a lot of misunderstandings in this fic between Dean and Cas, and the first occurs at their first meeting, where they both make some hasty assumptions about the other. But they keep getting thrown together through social situations, at first accidentally and then... less accidentally. Basically, even though Dean and Cas can't stand each other (initially) they're also a little obsessed with each other, and they end up inventing increasingly transparent reasons to see each other. And once they end up sleeping together, it's even worse!
Rest assured, however, for those of you who like a softer version of our boys--Dean and Cas aren't at each other's throats for long. As they spend more time with each other, they both acknowledge each other's good points, and before too long, they're head over heels for each other. Except Cas has a tragedy in his past that prevents him from getting close to anyone, and Dean is too scared of losing Cas to push for what he really wants.
I love how these two heal each other throughout this fic. Even though they bring out each other's worst sides, they also bring out the best in each other as well. It's really true--there's no one in the world that understands Cas as well as Dean, and there's no one in the world that understands Dean as well as Cas. Even when they're bickering and insulting each other, these two just connect on a level that's impossible for other people to comprehend.

Such Familiar Magic
Such Familiar Magic by saltnhalo (@saltnhalo) Rating: Explicit Word count: 26k
When solitary witch Castiel finds an injured dog unconscious in his garden, he takes it in. He’s expecting to heal it, look after it for a few days, then perhaps return it to its owners. He’s not expecting it to be one of the strongest familiars he’s ever met.
I’m a sucker for slow burn so usually I prefer longer fics. But oh boy am I glad I gave this fic a try. The author skillfully wrote this fic in such a way, you’ll feel this world has been with you for a long time.
There’s a familiarity between Dean and Cas right from the beginning and not for a second you question how they feel like this so easily when they’re just strangers. But it just transpires seamlessly and feels natural all the way.
This fic gives you a bit of everything: you get lots of fluff while both Dean and Cas are getting to know each other, you get domesticity that comes from Cas giving Dean a place to stay while he’s healing. There’s also angst elicited by Dean’s troubled past and Castiel struggling to control his powers. And then you have the slow burn without having to wait for it. And now you ask: but how is that possible? Well, go read this fic and find out for yourself.😉

Operation Brain Bleach
Operation Brain Bleach by Briston Rating: Explicit Word Count: 30k
When Sam and Eileen break up over Sam’s reluctance to leave his bachelor brother behind, Dean and Cas are forced into living a 24/7 fake relationship to prove to Sam that he can move out and settle down with the woman he loves. Cas is all in, and Dean is more than willing to do whatever it takes to convince Sam that they’re a real couple. What they don’t know, is that Sam and Eileen have faked their breakup to finally force the reluctant couple together, and Sam is committed to seeing the game through until he’s certain that their fake relationship has turned into the real thing. He knows that he's going to need a lot of brain bleach by the time the dust settles.
If you are looking for some cracky fun, this fic is a great choice. Sam and Eileen fake a break-up which leads to Dean and Cas "faking" a relationship that they both very much want.
It's a really funny take on Sam ships it but also very much wishes he could not have to see it. Cas and Dean are extremely horny in this one, so the tension there is delicious. Their not-so-fake efforts to prove they are together are exquisite torture. In fact, the entire fic is a hilarious two way psychological torture chamber with Dean desperately wanting Cas and Sam desperately wishing he didn't have to see it.
But also the heart of this story is really sweet. Despite the messiness of everyone in this fic, there's so much affection. Could they have made it easier on themselves by using words? Yes. But luckily for us, it's funnier this way.

The Night We Met
The Night We Met by eymwrites Rating: Explicit Word Count: 45k
Castiel laughs and moves his arm from his face, smiling stupidly up at Dean. The more Dean talks, the more Castiel feels revered, adored, and cherished. Things he knows he was supposed to feel at church but never did. Instead, he’s found them here, beneath the body of a man he hasn’t known very long but feels as if he’s shared a bond with more profound than anything he knows he could have ever found in religion.
I really do love a good fic told from Cas’s POV, and I know some of you out there do as well. What if I add a bit of college flavor, sprinkle in some misguided attempts at protecting Dean, and top it with a time jump and a reunion? If I’ve piqued your interest, definitely keep reading.
In this fic, we meet college aged Cas, fresh from escaping his controlling family and finally figuring out who he is outside of their toxic world. Tagging along with Anna to a party, he’s introduced to Dean, and Cas’s world changes. This fic takes us through their journey from the start, one that has many ups and downs, some of which are shocking and some that are incredibly heart wrenching, which is always a good time to remind everyone to mind their tags when it comes to an emotional fic like this. The payoff is worth it though, and even if you want to shake Cas for not using his words, you get to understand his reasoning and the way he’s able to come back and live up to the mistakes he made.
I’ll never get tired of well-rounded, fleshed out stories like this. It comes with an amazing cast of supporting characters, including a rarely written Bobby/Rufus pairing that was perfect. I love any fic that uses our awesome cast to its advantage, and this fic did just that. I also can’t let it go unsaid that Dean is absolutely, criminally sweet in this fic. I loved his resilience and his confidence when it came to wanting to be with Cas, and help him through his reservations about the changes in his life. It’s a characterization that you shouldn’t miss.
As always, enjoy!

I NEVER get tired of this video. It would be fantastic if the bird was just flying near him, but the fact it feels safe and comfortable enough to land ON his paraglider, isn't startled when he pets it, and is NIBBLING HIS SHOES... blessed moment, absolutely fabulous, 10/10 gold stars.
Okay but the bird isn't just nibbling
Note that it doesn't start nibbling until he starts smoothing its feathers.
They're grooming each other.
This is called parahawking! That vulture is tame -- it’s wearing jesses (a leather tie around the leg that a falconer will use to hold a bird when it’s on the glove). In fact that vulture is employed. Parahawking birds seek out thermals the same way they would naturally, allowing paragliders to follow them in the process.
Vultures are often used for parahawking both because of their attraction to thermals, and because vultures, as scavengers, are comparatively gentler and more sociable than birds of prey!

By Your Side
By Your Side by Desirae Rating: Explicit Word Count: 29k
No one ever told him that grief felt like fear- C.S. Lewis. Well, Castiel didn’t wholly agree with that statement. For him, it was more like anger, guilt, and numbness, all trying to jamb into the same doorway. After his wife’s death, widower Castiel Novak moves in with his best friend and co-worker-Dean Winchester. With a little help from his friends, amidst movie nights, campouts, and long talks, truths are revealed that change the trajectory of Castiel’s life in a terrifying and exhilarating way. In a supportive and judgment-free zone, Castiel goes on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance and learns that, indeed, good things do happen.
From the summary alone, it’s clear this fic deals with heavy themes which is something any reader should always be mindful of. That said, By Your Side is a lovely story that handles these themes perfectly, and with the perfect balance of levity that a well-written Dean can bring. He’s the perfect best friend harboring a long-time crush, ready and willing to be whatever Cas needs during his difficult time.
Now, if Dean or Cas with others gives you the ick so bad you won’t even click the link, I hear you, I sympathize with you, but I still urge you to check this fic out because well, maybe this is a bit of a spoiler but April is a downright villain by the end of the story, so that won’t be an issue at all while you read this fic. It’s a rollercoaster really, and one that sticks its landing with some steamy smut and a happy ever after that both Dean and Cas and us as the readers have earned.

Dean Winchester has a secret. He does this thing maybe two or three times a week, and he loves it, don’t get him wrong, but… He’s a camboy, and that’s not exactly something he wants shared around the breakfast table. When Dean decides he needs a change, it’s nothing too drastic, just a tattoo. But the hot-as-sin tattoo artist he gets to do the job might just change everything.
The second I saw "tattoo artist Cas" in the summary description, I already knew that I was going to love this fic, and I was not proven incorrect! This fic features a Cas who is so very confident yet still capable of being charming and sincere when courting Dean. Meanwhile, Dean is a cocky camboy, yet still adorably wrong-footed when it comes to getting Castiel, the hot tattoo artist, on an actual date.
The sexual tension between these two is so thick that you could cut it with a knife. You'll spend half the scenes holding your breath and just waiting for either Dean or Cas to finally make a move. Drawing the sexual tension out, however, only makes it all that much sweeter when they finally DO come together.
Because this is Dean and Cas, things can never be easy for them. There are misunderstandings, and a truly villainous Crowley to stand in the way of their true love. This fic does touch on some heavier aspects, like revenge porn and an attempted sexual assault, so be warned before you dive in (neither of those is between Dean or Cas). However, the relationship between Dean and Cas is the real centerpiece of this fic. Cas is a commanding presence, and Dean is by turns vulnerable and brash--just the Dean we love. Definitely give this fic a look if you're looking for something to warm you up through these cold months!

As long as we're talking about weird sibling texts y'all gotta see this completely unprompted banger my sister sent me the other day.
She didn't even tell me where she got it.
SEVEN AND A HALF FUCKING DOLLARS??????
loo lbr thats just how groceries are these days
I fucking hate inflation we can't even have canned tuna in this hell world!!!
So I looked up reviews of this specific tuna and I have several things to report:
1) Apparently it really is just that fucking good.
2) There's an artisan version they sell made with tuna belly which is reportedly phenomenal and despite the $21 price tag I genuinely want to try it.
3) The youtubers who review canned fish are simultaneously the weirdest and most boring people who have ever lived and I'm completely obsessed with them.
Pfft, don't threaten me with a good time.
Fuck it, 10k notes and I buy the $7 tuna and try it on stream. 50k and I'll get the expensive stuff too. Have fun <3
