"Ya. Aku mencari--" / "Bokapmu, ya, oke. Cas, Sam nggak ada."

[whynot]

HOLY FUCKSHITS: Indonesian-language Supernatural fanfiction jfldsjfa;l <3 <3 and like Team Free Will is all terkejut because biasanya Indonesia nggak exist di Internet, but here it is! Seperti miracle dari heaven! "Yang bener aja," says Sam, and "Busyet," says Dean, and Cas is all, "Ini menghabiskan waktu. Lucifer masih berkeliaran!" YOU TELL 'EM, CAS. omg some of the fics WARN FOR SELF-INSERTS. Precious!

Speaking of which, I tried writing 300ish more words of Indonesian SPN fic. It's just some random snippet, probably the beginning of some casefic, but I mean, this is pretty much just language practice and a composition exercise, so the willy-nilly snippets help keep it low-pressure. Also, my vernacular's probably off and sounds like an old person's.

In other news, there are these two essays that deal with the portrayal of class issues and economic status in SPN that I found quite interesting. A lot of the hunters in SPN seem to be coded lower-middle class, and I do end up wondering if there are upper class hunters in SPNverse, somewhere. Using frequent flyer miles to zip around on airplanes from case to case, making hunt money from stock market shenanigans. I imagine someone kinda like Daniel Ocean meets Batman type of person. (...So, basically George Clooney?)

Now seems like the time for an interview meme. haruslex asked me five questions. If you want me to ask you five questions, comment with your favorite dessert.


1. What's your favourite black and white movie?
It is a bad sign when my first thought is, "I wonder if Sin City counts?" Outside of Pi, I don't remember many black and white movies, and I don't even remember if I even finished Pi. I've become real crap at movies in general ever since I moved to the US because movies are hideously expensive here. So, uh. I like The Twilight Zone?

2. Something I actually meant to ask you and completely forgot: who'd play 'Mary' (Martin?) Winchester in your genderbent Supernatural? My life is not complete without knowing this!
Young Mark would be played by Zach Gilford:


Older Mark would be played by Viggo Mortensen, because when woobie quarterbacks are good, they grow up to be the king of Gondor:


There are a handful of people I forgot to cast, so let's just go through them now really quickly.

Anna Anthony Milton would be played by Jared Leto. What's the angel name for this dude, then? Antoniel?:


Younger Jane Winchester would be played by Samaire Armstrong. Here is Jane before her life got completely fucked over:


Bela Brendan Talbot would be played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. That's probably some magic sword or some shit that he stole and is gonna sell to the highest bidder:


Ash would be played by Kaitlin Olson. Here is Ash before she competently translates Javanese incantations:



3. If you were going to a desert island, what book would you take to pass the time?
TOUGH CALL. I'll do the cheat and list two. Probably 'Abandon' by Pico Iyer for its meditations on love, loss, God, and loneliness, which sounds about right for being stranded on a desert island. Or maybe I should go for the Hitchhiker's Guide omnibus, because it's funny. Well, when it's not being disorientingly sad.

4. Who would you marry, boff, and kill from Merlin?
I would marry Gwen because she is the most sensible one. I would boff Arthur because look at him. I would probably kill Mordred because he's gonna cause a lot of trouble for everyone and I'd rather not have that, thanks.

5. What's a skill you wish you had?
Faking accents.

I should probably update the genderbent!SPN post with these new castings, then.

oh the sad, sad illegitimate winchester child. but also JARED LETO AS ANNA, REALLY DUDE? REALLY? back when he was still hot, right?

oh man, ten years of bahasa malaysia and i understood like, half of that. barely! (and not just because it's bahasa indonesia either. it would probably be the same if it were malay.) but hey, its existence makes me happy!

give me five questions!

eta: "Cas," keluh Dean, "kadang-kadang aku bener-bener benci adikku." <--NOW THAT I UNDERSTOOD THOUGH. awesome!

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

Does it make you want to translate it? When I found Spanish fic that was my second impulse, after the squeeing. (I would be super excited if you translated your indonesian ficbit(s) :D)

[lexhibition.livejournal.com]

Arghhlblhf. You are seriously making me want to give up on trying to learn painful, non-Roman alphabets and go back to my beloved 'Bagus Sekali Level 1' textbook.

Still loving your genderbent spn. They're actually all prettier than the real cast, which I didn't think was possible.

Hah, I always assumed they named her after Milton's first child, whose name was Anne, in which case it would probably be, like, also John? Or else Edward, according to wiki. Like, I assumed that her angel name didn't have (or didn't have to have) much to do with her human name. NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, this theory doesn't actually make much sense. And is sort of vaguely embarrassing.

MAN, KAITLIN OLSON AS ASH? I HIGHLY APPROVE OF THIS. Oooh, what about Henrikson? And Meeeeeeeg? And Azazel? My vote is for Jessica Walter. Or Mary McDonnell! WHO WOULD SKINNER BE? Man, this show does not have a whole lot of recurring characters, does it. What about Gordon? A-and Jess? How am I still going is what I want to know.

OH HEY QUESTIONS. Man, idk, I don't really have a favorite dessert. (Damn right I follow the rules.) Cake! Cake is fun to say. Hit me up! WHY AM I SO TALKATIVE

[labseraph.livejournal.com]

OMG SPN fics in Indonesian is a hoot! Not so easy reading since a lot of the words require me to hunt for a dictionary but I shall persist!

I can't find any in Bahasa Malaysia, though :p.

To comment on your reply to Horusporus on Dreamwidth:

It's actually "negara jiran", literally neighbouring country. Negeri means state.

... Dia minggat!

OMG LOL ROTF LMAO. I got this picture in my head of Rano Karno saying that exact same words.

I gotta say Dean grumbling in Bahasa Indonesia is ... I have no words. It is cute, intense, funny, deep and ... and... *flails*.

I failed to log in into Dreamwidth; beginning to really loathe it. Making commenting a zillion times harder. X(

My favorite dessert is ice cream, I think. Or flourless chocolate cake. Or chocolate cake with ice cream.

[anjali-organna.livejournal.com]

I...cannot decide if I want to laugh at or lick the JRM photo.

[lovestories.livejournal.com]

CHEESECAKE WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES ON TOP.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

All this constant Supernatural talks makes me want to get into it. But it's got so many seasons I don't know how I'd catch up.

And, um, for the meme, my favorite dessert is mango pudding!

[lysythe.livejournal.com]

FFFFFFF-

I gave up my native language years ago and settled for communicating with my grandmother in broken words and sign language. WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME WANT TO PICK IT BACK UP.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I kind of love the idea of upper-class hunters. That would be awesome; why is this missing from my life? *pouts*

*waves hand* I keep meaning to ask and keep forgetting -- who would be the Yellow-Eyed Demon in the genderbent SPN?

I live in New Orleans. My favorite desert is BREAD PUDDING. Well, good bread pudding, of course.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

*_* OH LASS, your recasting of SPN continues to be SO AWESOME.

also, I believe my favorite desert is BROWNIES.

[puckling.livejournal.com]

when woobie quarterbacks are good, they grow up to be the king of Gondor

hahahahahahahahh! WIN!

[affablyevil.livejournal.com]

Interesting idea!

Who would you cast for Jesse Moore?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, you're Indonesian? Hi neighbour! *waves*

I don't know whether I could read a Malay SPN fic though, as the subtitles they give for the show is absolutely horrendous. Except for one thing. Sam called Dean "abang" and Dean refered to himself as "abang" too and I thought that's so sweet. The rest not so lol. The jembalang for demons and the "mate berembun" for dewy eyes sound awfully awkward to me.

Were you the one who did the monochromatic re-casting of SPN? I love that one but I can't remember who did it!

[lizzie-marie-23.livejournal.com]

I like Eli's Cheescake with whipped cream

Yay for the Twilight Zone and Yay for Hitchhiker's Guide! I'm so glad I'm not alone in the universe as far as that goes.
