five things: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE

[whynot]

1. Two lovely erasures have already been posted to erasureathon! And joy of joys, they're erasures of my fic! sgrio made the specific into the communal in parádeisos, an erasure of my Narnia fic about movieverse!Glozelle, and rendered the cracked out intimate in ménage à trois, which is an erasure of my Leverage fic about the time Parker got turned into a ceramic cat. idk, it was a comment_fic prompt okay.

2. Okay, I give in. I have a Twitter. That's right, SITERLAS, because Psych is giving me a complex apparently. All you tweeters, put your lights on.

3. isurrendered is having an episode-reaction post party for all our nonexistent shows. It's gonna be a weekly thing. I just... I cannot love this comm more if I tried. If real reactions to fake episodes, then what next? Reviews of our fake shows? Drinking games for our fake episodes? Fandom Wank posts of our fake shows' fandoms?

4. I'm getting my friend hooked on the demon blood, so for Valentine's Day we drank wine and watched Supernatural, now known to us as, "THE DEAN SHOW and sam i guess". Then we got distracted for twenty years by this picture. (STOP IT, ACKLES, I NEED MY BRAIN TO DO THINGS.) I cannot wait to ruin her life with fic.

5. Today was extremely bewildering! Every time something terrible and world-ending happened (which today was surprisingly often! courstesy of immigration bureaucracy), there was an equally happy and helpful solution that solved the problem! Talk about mood whiplash. This happened all day! AWFUL NEWS, AWESOME NEWS, AWFUL NEWS, AWESOME NEWS, aaaahhhhh. I'm not out of the woods yet, but forgive me if I'm just gonna spend the rest of the night eating Sour Patch Kids and orange-infused dark chocolate.

P.S. Now I crave Sour Patch Kids. Thanks for that gift.

You are the second long-term SPN watcher to say that to me! This show inspires ~FEELINGS~ in me okay, but I guess everyone's already bought the t-shirt! Sometimes I roll through LJ looking for episode reaction posts and sometimes it's like -- especially with the older fans (not in age) -- it's like reading missives from Martians 'cos are we watching the same show? I know a lot of ppl think SPN has gone off the rails with the apocalypse stuff, but the derailment is kinda why I'm here. I'm happy with my low expectations and as long as they continue to mistake fanservice for character development, I'll continue to be happy.

as long as they continue to mistake fanservice for character development, I'll continue to be happy. LOL, ain't that the truth. I am definitely one of those who thinks the show has gone completely off the rails-- I think it was a really solid, intelligent show for the first two seasons, and then season three was really uneven-- that was also the strike year, so they never had a change to tie up some of their loose ends. I continue to enjoy it despite the whole jumping the shark thing, because crack is fun too! I love Castiel (particularly on drugs) and Chuck-the-Prophet and all the meta insanity. But yeah, it was definitely more solid before. Now it's just... fun and crazy. I definitely notice it in my rare forays into fandom, as well. You used to get people making SRS BSNS posts about, like, what Show was trying to say about ideals of masculinity in America, and family values. Now it's all... pictures of Misha pouring yogurt on his face. But I enjoy both of these things, so.

lol that quote is courtesy of Sgrio. Ya man, S4 and S5 are much with the awesome side characters, because omg Chuck! AND BECKY. Fandom seems to hate on Becky and feel like she's the show's personal attack on fandom, but I looooove her and think she's hilarious. Because fandom is hilarious, guys! I hope she does something awesome and important. lol Cas on drugs, 5x04 breaks my heart (and makes me glee!) all the damn tiiiiiime, omg, def one of my favorites. CAS WAS GONNA RAISE YOU FROM PERDITION BUT THEN HE GOT HIGH. Also he makes like, the best entrances.
