'Among a Million Same' - SPN fanmix - Croatverse Cas

[whynot]

I'm kinda too up to my neck to sign up for narniaexchange this year, but hopefully you are not!

Happy Stonehenge Apocalypse day, guys! Speaking of the apocalypse, I haven't waxed starry-eyed about 5x04verse lately. Lemme make up for it in the form of 12 songs about 5x04!Cas's descent into desperate cynicism and claustrophobic depravity.

1. seal, "fast changes"

fast changes arriving
slow changes moving out
here we are


2. black rebel motorcycle club, "white palms"

jesus, when you coming back?
he's never coming back
you'll never take me back
we're never going home


3. 65daysofstatic, "another code against the gone"

(nothing compares to what is happening to those who survived)


4. thom yorke, "and it rained all night"

so i give in to the rhythm
the click click clack


5. the mountain goats, "maybe sprout wings"

i thought of old friends
the ones who'd gone missing
i said all their names three times
phantoms in the early dark
canaries in the mines


6. blue man group feat. esthero, "white rabbit"

when men on the chessboard
get up and tell you where to go
and you've just had some kind of mushroom
and your mind is moving slow


7. the books, "don't even sing about it"

you get used to hanging if you hang long enough


8. a perfect circle, "3 libras"

i threw you the obvious to see what occurs
behind the eyes of a fallen angel
the eyes of a tragedy
oh well
apparently nothing
apparently nothing at all


9. milemarker, "lost the thoughts but kept the skin"

the scar remains, but what of the cut?


10. mew, "how things turn out to be

it's a triumph for man, how things turned out to be


11. ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, "another morning stoner"

is heaven to you a perfect place
the look of sorrow on a sufferer's face
a field of lives to sow and to reap
that some of us will never see


12. anggun, "selamanya"

putuskan ari-ari bumi
aku ingin pergi menuju abadi



NOTES: I imagine Cas starts singing Mew's "How Things Turn Out To Be" somewhere near the middle of his third bottle. He mutters the words just loud enough for Dean to hear and scowl at. You can even hear Cas's harem doing bong rips and playing with empties in the background.

The Books' "Don't Even Sing About It" is a nod to the fanon that angelvision is like being on psychedelics. I reckon that's why Cas becomes such a big fan of self-medication -- not just to numb himself, but to re-experience his thousand eyes and multidimensional comprehension, even if this time it's just hallucinations.

Anggun's "Selamanya" is in Bahasa Indonesia. Complete lyrics and own translation are as follows:

kuharap mentari pagi tak menyambutku
kuharap sinar rembulan tutup mataku, selamanya
sejak kau pergi, tinggalkan bumi, tinggalku di sini

turunkan matahari
usir bintang-bintang
putarkan utara ke selatan
untuk apa lagi semuanya?

ambillah jiwa retak ini
ku tak ingin lagi
putuskan ari-ari bumi
aku ingin pergi menuju abadi, selamanya


i hope the morning sun will not greet me
i hope the moonlight will close my eyes, forever
ever since you've gone, left the earth, left me here

take down the sun
chase the stars away
turn the north to the south
what is all this for anymore?

take this cracked soul
i don't want it anymore
cut my ties to the earth
i want to go towards eternity, forever

seal, 65daysofstatic, thom yorke, a perfect circle, mew. damn, there's some amazing choices here.

definitely downloading, A+ work!

[nyoka.livejournal.com]

This looks like a great mix. Thanks!

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

I will miss your Narnia fic LIKE A LOT.

but whee, more music!

[labseraph.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous art, fabulous music. What more can a girl want from a fanmix?

*snags all*

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

EXCITED ABOUT THIS TOOOO

like dude these lyrics! and I know some of the artists and the tone! :DD YOU ROCK :D

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

I am way too into Future!Cas. It's alarming. Great songs, too! Snagging, thanks. :)

[st-expedite.livejournal.com]

...and you will know us by the trail of dead = a++

[euclase.livejournal.com]

yaahhh the books. genius!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Seal is terribly underrated, no? ;)

Thanks, and enjoy!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I am sure once Dawn Treader hits, I will be churning out Ed/Cas/Lu seafaring fic like no tomorrow, so enjoy this reprieve while you can. XD

...omg writing Cas gave me total cognitive dissonance because LOL CAS CASTIEL CASPIAN. Castiel/Edmund/Lucy sounds pretty awesome, though.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE AMONG MY FAVORITE OMG. I LOVE THEM UNTO FIERY DEATH.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

THINGS COMMITTED IN GCHAT

their mother dressed them in matching outfits when they were very little, and then that stopped. and then they got separate bedrooms when they moved from Highland. and when jimmy broke his arm playing football, his arm was in a cast and no one could confuse them. jacob has a scar on the back of his leg from the time he tried to learn to skateboard.

superficial differences, that then seemed to work itself inside. a deep abiding faith cast in opposite directions. they grew up side by side, but now they are back to back. never sees his brother anymore, but always the heat and motion of jacob at his back, all at once memory and anticipation and an ache he can't separate from a wish anymore.


I HAVE 1200 WORDS OF THIS SHIT. Mishacest, man!

[mizra.livejournal.com]

Oh, how horribly depressing. I love it!

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

Man, I am looking forward to VDT fics! Lucy dressed as a boy!

[krystalicekitsu.livejournal.com]

Great mix!

[affablyevil.livejournal.com]

Wow this looks like an amazing mix! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

Came back to this when I realized it was in my folder of "stuff to check out when I have gotten far enough through SPN". ILU. Cannot WAIT to listen.

ALSO OMFG CAN YOU IMAGINE CASTIEL/ED/LUCY. IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST. Although possibly not as great as THE TIME EUSTACE MET CASTIEL ON BOARD AND WROTE ABOUT IT IN HIS DIARY LATER.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

LOL I WANT TO SEE THAT DIARY ENTRY SO BAD

EUSTACE AND CASTIEL BEING IMPATIENT WITH EACH OTHER IS THE GREATESSSSST. CAS'D BE LIKE, "WHAT? CHILDREN? CAN I ENVESSEL THEM?" AND THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME ADVENTUREY ORDEAL TOGETHER AND BY THE END THEY HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER AND FRIEEEENDSHIP

Cas would have it easy as a babysitter. He'd just do the two-finger knockout thing and BOOM, peace and quiet.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

TODAY SOMEONE APPEARED ON DECK. ALL THE OTHERS PRETENDED THAT HE WAS A MESSENGER FROM A LION. HE SAID HE WAS LOOKING FOR HIS FATHER. I TOLD HIM HIS FATHER WAS NOT BEING HELD CAPTIVE; I AM THE ONLY ONE. I AM SURROUNDED BY LUNATICS.

Cas learns about the power of brave adventures! And Eustace learns about angels!

Man, he would. He would be really bad though if he tried to play with them. "What is the point of this game? Why would I want to hide? I am supposed to be watching."

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Omg they'd be like "are you a son of adam?" And he'd be like lol no. I think Cas and movie!Peter would get along, if by get along we mean butt heads interestingly.

"BUT YOU ARE NOT A DUCK AND I AM NOT A GOOSE, WHAT IS THIS TOMFOOLERY. STOP TOUCHING MY HEAD." Oh, crazy uncle Cas.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

He and Ramandu's Daughter would get together, I feel. They could like be mystical together. movie!Peter would be like IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BETTER PLAN WE ARE GOING TO ATTACK and Cas would be like MY FATHER HAS ABANDONED US and they would glare at each other and Lucy would frown.

AHAHAHAHA. if they played freeze tag, would he accidentally freeze them for real?!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

And Cas to Cas would be like, look, I know your family's kind of douchey and homicidal, but that's why you gotta stand up to them. Caspian asks, "Did you?"
"Yes."
"What happened?"
"I exploded."
"..."

YES. And let us not talk about the snakes and ladders incident. Can't look at Escher without getting nightmares now.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

"What do you do if your brother is a killer?" Cas asks mournfully.
"My uncle killed my father," Caspian says. "So the High King fought him for me and then his own men finished him off."
"Oh," Cas says. "We were just going to let them fight it out with their vessels."

And the time they played Clue and Cas used his psychic angel powers to see the Miss Scarlett and Col. Mustard had been having an affair and smote them.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Castiel gets picked last for charades. He is, however, particularly good at portraying 'The Rock'. His portrayal of 'Highway to Hell' nearly poked the kids' eyes out though, and made the youngest cry.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

They also pick him last for baseball, because he never seems to remember the rules. However, he is lots of fun at capture the flag when he disapperates places.

Once he took them to church and spent the whole time explaining what the priest got wrong. The kids enjoyed that one but then they got asked not to bring Uncle Cas next time.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Ahh Cas playing baseball! They thought he was a good pitcher but his pitches broke the catcher's hands! They thought he was a good hitter but he just hit their last baseball out of the park, like the previous balls! And he refuses to take off the trenchcoat.

They make him the umpire. He can weather the abuse.

Oh man, if there is one thing Cas is worse at than babysittibg, it is being a sunday school teacher.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

"Hey Mister Cas! Are we learning about Cain and Abel today? I drew a picture!"
"That is not accurate. That is not how it happened."
"You don't like my picture? T_T" [that is tears right? i am bad at these]
then Cas explains all about how Cain and Abel were vessels and things got a little out of hand and God was Not Pleased and caused a Mark to be placed on Cain and Cas helped it and the parents complain a lot.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I think those are tears! I used to do those for tears, but now I resort to ;____; because I'm not sure anymore, maybe T____T is angry eyes or something. The cool kids' lingo. Pah.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

They're really complicated! I know *_* is starry-eyed and o.O is surprised, and ;_; is tears apparently, and ^_- is a wink. and <.< is something else. I need a list!

yeah, damn kids, get off my lawn and let me sit at your lunch table!

[extatiana.livejournal.com]

Just trotting by to say - I keep putting this mix on when I just want some excellent music. I thought I'd compliment you again, for it!

... I love how I find the same artists in Supernatural mixes, over and over and over. Particularly BRMC, Thom Yorke, The Mountain Goats (Gahhh the Mountain Goats song. ;___;)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

:DDDD That really heartens me to hear! Aww thanks, I'm glad you're getting such enjoyment out of it! Ahaha, yeah, Thom Yorke and BRMC are probz gonna be on my Cas mix... and BRMC and Radiohead are gonna be on my Dean/Alastair. BRMC I actually had the mp3s before ever hearing their stuff, because my friend gave me their music to catch up on when I said I'd see some show with them. Thom Yorke just has good atmosphere, man. And The Mountain Goats in this mix... I think came from another SPN mix. XDDDD so yeah.
