Is Richard Siken a Samgirl or a Deangirl?

[whynot]

motherlessguns, you guys! It's like gid_hanasheh but for Winchesters. That is to say*, a comm for posting poems that remind you of Winchesters, and poems that you wrote about Winchesters. Come join! SPAM IT WITH SIKEN.

'Kay, so we got a heaven poetry comm, an earth poetry comm. To round things off, we need a hell poetry comm for poems about Ruby and Alastair. y/n?

*Can we popularize the acronym TITS already?


I uploaded some songs from SinoSikat?'s debut album for some people, and I'm gonna throw the links up here too because SinoSikat? are pretty sexy, lemme tell ya. They're from Manila, and they got this badass soul-jazz-groove thing going on.

So Blue - the single. The music video is also pretty cool.
Praning - the 'tude
Akin Ka - the jazz


Item the third, I watched My Bloody Valentine. What an emotionally complex and intellectually satisfying movie that was! The decapitation-by-shovel scene was such a nuanced commentary on the duality of man, and the naked girl titty-bouncing in the parking lot moved me to my very core.

Okay seriously now, where is the Dean/Tom fic.

Truth. For instance, if one puts on their Wincest cap while reading Crush -- you can totally read it from Dean's POV (which is Siken's POV ) as describing his tormented, angsty relationship he has with his lover/brother Sam (I mean, Henry). One can totally read it that way. ;P

You know Siken wrote Crush all about his dying lover. It just breaks my heart every time I read it.

Awesome idea for a comm, btw. Last year my friends and I use to post Sam/Dean and Sam&Dean poems of the week, so I can look back to my old posts and totally repost some of those to the new comm. This year I've been all about Castiel and Dean/Cas poems, but I still should go back to my Winchester boys from time to time. :D

There really is a lot of Dean POV. I think there's a lot in the roughness and bitterness of the voice, maybe. Somehow I did find out about that, and though the book stands on its own incredibly, it does add to an understanding of it to know Siken's writing about his dead lover. Though he doesn't restrict himself to addressing a lover at all at all, like in You are Jeff, which is such a huge thing that encompasses so much that I am somewhat hesitant to call it a SPN poem because it is so much more. /poetry ramble

I wish it had existed before when you guys were posting poems of the week! it is kind of a result of my discovering SPN two weeks before taking this poetry class, heh. I think there should be more mass spn/poetry=OTP fangirling in general, hooray :D
