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.

OKAY IDGET IT. DEAN IS SEXIST, RUDE AND BORDERLINE XENOPHOBIC. WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE HIM SO MUCH AND THEN THEY'RE LIKE "...oh also sam is there." is it entirely because jensen cries so pretty?

THE DEAN SHOW and sam i guess. Haha, this is so accurate. I love that you are just now going through the exact same thought process I went through when SPN started when I was in 11th grade. Have you seen the (now ancient) many faces picspams yet? Dean & Sam.

This TV show meme is so awesome, but I'm having so much trouble because I keep wanting to cast people on the sole basis that I enjoy their faces, and that is kind of ridiculous; also I am not huge on the free time right now. WHATEVER.

Ahaha, I think, in fairness, the writers tend to think it is the DEAN SHOW and also sam I guess, which is so weird for me because S1 and 2, I sort of - overidentified with Sam while at the same time, not really liking him very much? But then he started becoming really bugfuck, and I enjoyed his character a lot more; and Dean became a lot more bugfuck too, but it was a lot less interesting to me. I think this is because the writers tend to equate emoporn with character development! I love me some emoporn, but I would maybe like some actual character development, idk. Apparently the more I identify with a character the less I like them? I'd totally hang out with Dean irl, but as long as we could stfu about our self-worth issues and skip right to drinking whiskey and dorkgasming over muscle cars and internal combustion engines and shitty horror movies, is what I'm saying. I get enough of people's anxieties manifesting themselves in gendered/heterosexist ways and playing on my anxieties in actual rl, tyvm. And that is my TMI about being over-invested in TV shows for the day! I want some SPN icons, goddamnit.

My eyes are HAZING OVER but the comment threads look really interesting.

Ok, let me offer my ~immensely interesting and unique perspective~ as a long-term Spn watcher.

1. I did think the show was very solid between s1 and the end of s2. But my favourite season is s4, because

2. While I find Dean fascinating, s4 grabbed me by the ears and made me a TOTAL CASTIEL FAN.

3. On balance I would MUCH RATHER watch an entire show built around Castiel than one built around Dean and Sam's cesty angsty love, because it seems to me that the writers are too interested in the kwik-fix approach and romanticise that relationship to the point where I feel angry on Dean's behalf more than I should need to.

4. It makes me laugh when fans assume that Sam is the most relatable character on the show. Why, 'cause he's the more obviously selfish of the brothers, and because he went to college and likes salad and the show's writers appear not to understand how ugly he can be as a character just as a human being (in case someone is gonna pop up about the demon stuff)? [/bitchy] I mean, to be perfectly honest I didn't give much of a shit about anyone on that level until CAS happened. I'm rooting for the freako alien angel, okay?

5. So basically it IS possible to have been a fan since the beginning who enjoyed most of what the first 3 seasons had to offer AND also rate Castiel and the related storyline higher.

6. S5 has been horribly uneven so far. Step the fuck away from the crack and TWOP, writers. Thanks.

7. I'm a non-White ESL fan from a majority POC Asian country, so maybe I'm a little more detached when it comes to the Americana... possibly.
