THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO GO OMG

[whynot]

SHOULD I BE IRRESPONSIBLE AND GO TO BOSTON ON MONDAY TO SEE M.I.A.? OMGGG. I have all this work to do, but maybe I can get a lot of it done and then go to BOSTON AND SEE M.I.A. and also my boyfran, who is finally back from his European adventures. I have no polling capabilities, so let's do this instead:

IS LASS GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE THIS COMING MONDAY??
a) BUT OF COURSE. She will be working, ever so diligent, ever so.
b) LOLOL she will be dancing all her limbs off at M.I.A. and making out with her boyfran.

Oh, and NOVAKFEST. You guys, Novak fanwork exchange! The word count minimum is only 500 words. You can request vids!

Also: Switch It Up: multifandom gender identity meme, in which the rule is that the characters and/or their partners must identify as transgender/genderqueer.

Nikita
- AUGH IDK WHY BUT WHEN NIKITA STARTED OPENING A CAN OF WHOOPASS ON THE SWEATSHOP GOONS AND BURNED THE BUILDING DOWN, I WAS SO PROUD THAT I LEGIT SHED AN ACTUALFAX TEAR.

- How is Amanda so incredibly splendid? I love everything about her and what she chooses to be. Can I be her when I grow up?

- A PEANUT ALLERGY INTRODUCED IN THE FIRST ACT \o/

- FORGIVENESS. omg, do you have any idea how a-flutter I am that Nikita is pursuing a character journey and emotional arc that threads FORGIVENESS and REDEMPTION in? I just haven't come across a lot of canon where girls have this story, okay. I am excited, touched, and feel strangely validated.

- Who was the person on Twitter saying Michael=Castiel? I can see it in many ways, but only if this is S4, but this is obviously S6!Cas trying to take down Heaven. It's even in SPN's old time-slot! Alternatively, this is genderbent (half-)racebent Cassassin AU.



Poopernatural

- OMG BEN WANTS TO BE A HUNTER! Whose heart is more broken, Dean's or mine?!

- I kinda love that Sam and Dean kept referring to the baby as 'it' and 'that thing'. Perhaps I am just projecting, because in the wake of 6x02 spoilers, I found my feelings best encapsulated by this doodle of Kate Beaton's. What was even filming this episode like? There must've been so many babies on set!

- I also like Dean giving the baby booze. A+, Dean.

- A CAMPBELL DEATH SO SOON ALREADY? NOOOOOO. Oh god, Gwen, you're next to die aren't you DDDD: because you are a woman and apparently Christian has a wife or something DDDDD: NOOOOOOOO cousinceeeeessssssst. Ah well. I guess there's always backstory fic. BTW, the Campbells/Sam/Dean dynamics were amazing. WUNDERBAR.

- TWO SAMS!!! Fucking finally, I tell you. We've had two Deans what, like three times now? ABOUT DAMN TIME WE HAD TWO SAMS. NEEDS MOAR TWO SAMS.

- LISA BB. Okay, I was ambivalent about Dean/Lisa before but I actualfax ship it now. Do we have fic yet of Dean teaching her to shoot and then they make out? Between the last episode and this episode, I am totally invested in her now... but... okay, I'm just gonna copypaste what I said to mwmm23: "omg Lisa I love her, and now I'm also really curious about her because WHY IS SHE MAKING THESE DECISIONS. WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD, LISA? idk. I love her but I still think she's making dumb decisions? WHICH ONLY MAKE ME LOVE HER MORE THOUGH? Because she says to Dean that he's white-knuckling it, but LISA BB SO ARE YOU. WE CAN TELL. She is weary. Oh, she and Dean are both so weary. But they're HOLDING ON TO EACH OTHER which strikes me as simultaneously DUMB and HEARTWARMING and D: and :D" and I think I see where she is coming from, but that is also why I am DDD: BUT ALSO WHY I AM :DDDDDDD augh idk idk. As with many things in Supernatural, I'm not really sure what my feelings are BUT I KNOW THAT THEY ARE VERY VERY STRONG.

- I have watched the promo for next week approximately as many times as you think I have.


Six more days, people. 143 hours as of right now.

YEAH. Okay, like, like. This is not quite the same thing, but--Achilles and Patrokles, right, Achilles is like super awesome and Patrokles is like his second in command but he is comfortable in that subordinate role, he is not less. Only this is like on a more cosmic scale but maybe it is a comfort, yes, that there is an angel there for you, with you, if Claire has him as a friend as well, before and maybe after the yes. Um...action/inaction, but maybe also...passivity? submission? acceptance? assent and consent? something about saying, the way to be an agent here is to not be an agent.

YEAH. And they maybe don't want to contact him at all, maybe they go through Sam instead.

(...Cas/everyone = good otp)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

YES: not less. If the needle is wise, be the thread. In a way, Cas also puts Claire on a pedestal. And they may limit themselves to various degrees by being with each other, but they also become more than the sum of their parts.

THE LOOK ON DEAN'S FACE WHEN HE FINALLY FINDS OUT, THOUGH. He'll give them shit for it in a faux-jokey way and act like it's not a big deal. And it really mostly isn't. Except for those times when he walks into a room and Cas and Cassie just stop talking and look at him.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

BE THE THREAD. YES. like, it is better to serve in heaven, maybe, than rule in hell. Yeah, and also he protects her, he gives her purpose--there is a freedom in that. (this is sounding more and more like an S&M thing)

He wonders later if maybe they, you know, talk about him. It kind of freaks him out.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

(this is sounding more and more like an S&M thing)
LOL OMG. I have never thought about it like that. Then again, I know very little about S&M. SOUNDS LIKE I SHOULD LEARN.

And yet alas, poor Jimmy; vesselhood has no safewords.

Dean/Cassie/Castiel sexytimes is what I think we are trying to say.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEARN. You can put your learnings into fic!

:/ you can never un-submit, that is what I hate most about it.

I think that is exactly what we are trying to say.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

idk, I got the impression in 4x20 that if an angel leaves the vessel, he has to get the vessel's consent all over again before he can come in. Like, there's no season pass. You gotta pay admission every time.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

But you can't kick the angel out, right?

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Well, not as far as we've seen. I think some angels would be more amenable to the idea of communicating with the vessel during envesselage more than others, who maybe would just smother the vessel completely. I like to think the angel/vessel relationship is varied in its fraughtness from vessel to vessel. Maybe some angels feel more warmly towards their vessel (Cas/Claaaaaire), and maybe some are completely aloof and clinical. I reckon it varies from angel to angel how informed the consent they get from their vessel is.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

I want this explored more. I also want the fic where Anna meets the girl who would have been her vessel, what relationship do they have noooow?

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I want this explored more.
WELL THEN.

Cas and Jimmy: http://community.livejournal.com/deancastiel/1699615.html#cutid1 (ignore that it's on deancastiel, it's actually gen)
Cas and Claire, Clairestiel AU: http://cityfibers.livejournal.com/6421.html

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

Man, these make my heart hurt but in such a good way. The questions of consent with vesselhood, oh man. CLAIRE. NOVAKS.
