I’m sorry but what a weak excuse, considering a quick scroll will show you a lot of posts follow all the things they don’t want apparently.

I wish I could reply to their comment with a big fat LOL

So I’m Slavic myself, and I genuinely cannot believe it took me this long to connect the dots.
Today I randomly thought, “Wait… Misha is such a Slavic name.”
Cue me going down a rabbit hole and finding out:
Misha Collins’ birth name is Dmitri Tippens Krushnic.
He has Russian and other Eastern European ancestry.
He speaks Russian (not fluently, but honestly pretty well).
And now I’m sitting here wondering how I never questioned it. 😭 Like…Misha is one of the most recognizable Russian nicknames ever, and somehow my Slavic brain never made the connection.
It also suddenly explains why there’s such a massive Russian Supernatural fandom and why my TikTok FYP keeps showing me Russian Destiel edits. 😂 I always knew there were a ton of Russian fans, but now I’m wondering if Misha’s background has something to do with why he resonates so much there (or maybe I’m just making connections where there aren’t any lol).
Now I’m craving fics where Cas actually has some Russian influence because I feel like I’ve unlocked a new hyperfixation.
Does anyone have good destiel recs where Cas is Russian (or Russian-coded), speaks Russian, has Slavic family/cultural influences, or Misha’s background is incorporated in a believable way? Bonus points if Dean absolutely loses it every time Cas casually switches to Russian.
I’m open to canon-divergence, AUs, fluff, angst pretty much anything as long as it’s well written. (No ai please )And if the Russian is actually accurate instead of obvious Google Translate… even better. 😭

Looking for fics with the coolest alternative universes (i mean the basics like coffee shop and college is great but i like me a niche universe) my favourites ive read so far are “alaskan research station”, “hockey players” (WELL before heated rivalry) and “teen dad Dean to Sam” so any Destiel Fics matching those vibes would be great THANK U EVERYONE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AS ALWAYS APPRECIATED

Hello, so I don’t know if this is is okay as it’s maybe not about destiel per say, but I was wondering if any of you have any book recommendations that feel like destiel fics feel like?

I can’t explain it a lot better than this, but I feel like I can’t read normal books anymore as nothing scratches the surface of the great writers in our fandom that portray these two falling in love again and again… still, I think I should try to sprinkle something else in every once in a while.

So, book recs m/m where the characters feel a little like Cas/dean? Some long burns maybe?

The one I’ve personally felt has given me that sort of feel - and it’s a great book (with all the flaws and critics people have about it, which I do understand) on its own - is A Little Life.

Also - what books are out there that you are so sure used to be destiel fan fiction?? Because I could swear when heated rivalry came out I was so sure it had to be a destiel ff. Specifically, all you young hockey players out there, lol

Does anyone have a favorite Dean/Castiel doujinshi/fan comic?

I’d love to hear which ones people like or think are worth checking out are!
