What is your policy regarding SPN spoilers? Because I know some people avoid them like the plague, but me, I love them.
I like the idea of multiple pantheons treated with respect, not just as places to find new villains. Thiiiiiis so much. If other pantheons make it to SPN, omg, I really really need SPN to NOT FUCK IT UP. I don't ask much from you, SPN! I know what you are. But please, show, please.
why do we always assume that God is not to some degree man-like? Yes! I think this book helped to solidify a lot of what I'd been thinking about god and loving god, and what that love is like. I was coming out of Narnia fandom at the time, I believe, so god angst was at the forefront of my mind. The idea of loving god the way you would love a human being pushed something into place in my head, I'm not sure what. It's not that it answered questions, but the questions became that much more clearer and brighter. And maybe they are not questions about god after all, but questions about love and devotion.
Sam speaks some Spanish! I think it was in 'Fallen Idols', he had to talk to a housekeeper and was kind of crap at it. I feel like a dork for remembering such trivia. Man.
Have you read American Gods? Haha, sorry with these book recs, but "Once you lose words and songs, rituals and "secret doors," you also forfeit your power" is kind of what it is about.
I imagine him as a scotch ale kinda guy. Yeah, something strong and simple, for sure, though there is a part of me that wishes he loves colorful fruity drinks and he makes a wibbly face when they forget the paper umbrella.
Wow, Filipino representation in the navy. I wonder how they come to be strongly represented then. That's interesting that you mention the hierarchy, because I find the Filipino social fabric is like this odd mix of Asian filial piety and Spanish machismo. And Catholic... Catholicness. I mean, that's a gross simplification of course. But yeah. Alas I have no recipe for puto :( . I heard good things about Deadwood. Isn't that the one that got weirdly canceled? I sometimes contemplate watching it, but don't want to be heartbroken at how there is no more episodes.
Aww, thanks dude! It really helps to have this back-and-forth here, I totally appreciate it. I look forward to writing it. Though right now I am totally being SIDETRACKED cowriting apocalypse fic with unoshot. It's got zombies! It's got vampires! It's got long walks on the beach. For real! Okay, not really. More like drinking tequila on a beach, which is totally Dean-speak for 'long walks on the beach' anyway! Also we just broke ten thousand words. God, what is SPN fandom doing to me.
