why did supernatural constantly promote the concept that if sam and dean hadn’t been hunters they would be clean metrosexual emasculated yuppies- and that that was a nightmare? dean smith, sam as a ted talker, the alt universe sam and dean as these horrid funhouse mirrors versions of their true selves. it confuses me how both sam and dean at different times wanted to get out of hunting, and the narrative supported that dream and framed the pressure and necessity to continue hunting as a tragedy, yet when either brother was allowed out of the trap they became something to mock or belittle. is there really such an idea that men cannot be men without tragedy? that fantasy is only desirable as long as it remains fantasy, the wanting without having is intrinsic to masculinity in that if the wanting becomes having the fantasy-object collapses - that the truest, most fulfilling life is one inbetween, a teetering line. you do what you do, but you cant love it, because then youre prideful, shameful, violent; you want what you want, but you cant have it, because then youre spoiled, weak, soft. how can they be so twinly prideful yet ashamed of such a tragic lifestyle? supernatural touts the epitome of masculinity in the strength of suffering and tragedy, a constant requirement of sympathy and respect for men who hate themselves and love themselves for hating themselves
It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.

I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.
It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.
Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.
My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed - I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.
me gonna try it
