CATALEPSY

[noun]

(from Greek, κατάληψις “catch”); a nervous condition characterised by muscular rigidity and fixity of posture regardless of external stimuli, as well as decreased sensitivity to pain. Catalepsy is also a term used by hypnotists to refer to the state of making a hypnotised subject’s arm, leg or back rigid. “Arm catalepsy” is often a pre-hypnotic test performed prior to an induction into a full trance.

Castiel claims Jimmy bit by bit.

Monsters by Tavo Montañez

prey on each other for all eternity

Dean can hear Cas yelling, “Don’t listen to them! You know yourself better than the monsters ever can.”

But they don’t need to know him better. They already know enough.

#sometimes the water looks clear  #until they realize  #the branches are bones  #of bodies left to rot  #that crumbled under the strain  #of what held them down  #the water was too dense with them  #to allow them to breathe  #and they broke apart  #one after another  #straining to hold tall  #so that by grace of god  #they might be found  #and brought out of purgatory  

Purgatory is Eden left to rot after the fall.

FOLIE À DEUX

[phrase]

from the French for “a madness shared by two” (or shared psychosis) -  a psychiatric syndrome in which symptoms of a delusional belief are transmitted from one individual to another. The same syndrome shared by more than two people may be called folie à trois, folie à quatre, folie en famille or even folie à plusieurs (“madness of many”).

[term requested by belletristcoterie]

It’s Azazel, it’s Alastair, it’s Anna, it’s his mother, but then Cas touches his arm and says his name and they’re gone. It’s just shadows. If he is so porous as to be subject to illusions, he is porous enough for Cas to dispel them.

Marco Polo describes a bridge, stone by stone. 

‘But which is the stone that supports the bridge?’ Kublai Khan asks. 

‘The bridge is not supported by one stone or another,’ Marco answers, ‘but by the line of the arch that they form.’ 

Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds: ‘Why do you speak of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me.’ 

Polo answers: ‘Without stones there is no arch.’

#the constant exposure to the wind is slowly driving Dean mad #nothing is right and everything feels wrong in this place#illusions pop up here and there #and he’s never been this thankful of the mere presence of Cas with him #without him dispelling the illusions every now and then with an ‘it’s not water Dean’ he would have fallen off a cliff by now #he shudders as he thinks of the deep chasms which had suddenly appeared where it once had been a small pond of crystal clear water #he shrugs in discomfort and Castiel automatically steps a little closer

#Dean is Dante: purgatory adventures #but really I imagine them wandering about holding hands #and maybe Dean doesn’t need to eat or drink but it’s still a shock to suddenly lose those comforts #and the comfort of sleep #but this is not a place of rest #I wonder: is it like prison? Can you carve out a space for yourself if you are dangerous or useful enough to your peers? #if you are quiet and keep your head down will they leave you alone? #(but that’s not an option not for Cas and Dean #they’re known here and they’re wanted)
