Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Show has never done relationships well.

Oh, really? I think you said Show when you meant to say fandom. Show hasn't really done relationships. Seriously--what was so incredibly wrong with Ruby and Lisa? Except for the complaining about Ruby and Lisa and how she ruined Wincest and Destiel? And fandom has the added freedom to be able to complain about relationships that didn't actually happen, and lord knows...that totally happened. God forbid anyone looked askance at Jo or Rachel or or or...

Shut up girls!

Because books.

I just unfollowed someone on Tumblr because I couldn't take the ranting. "Why do they bother? Relationships are never going to work for Dean or Sam. And not only because, whether you ship Wincest or not, no one is as important to them as their brother is."

Um, we may know, or think, that, but the guys don't necessarily know it. Sam especially -- I think Dean has a clue, after what happened with Lisa. But Sam hasn't had an actual RELATIONSHIP since Jess, and that's a long time ago now.

Oh, and then there were complaints that Sam would even think of dating while Dean is in Purgatory. Which is probably true. But they've already made it clear that Dean and Cas will be back really early on in the season, so that argument has no legs.

/t frabbish frabbish fucking fandom

And now I can't get the tag to work. Argh.

Okay, that's weird about the tag.

t tag?

t /close?

Okay--don't put the dash before the t, put it after the space.

As for the ranting--if characters didn't try and do things the audience knew to be inevitable, fiction would be a measure more boring. And sometimes they will find ways to succeed that we couldn't have predicted. That's the magic of someone else writing.

t tries again

/t is successful?

What am I missing here? I feel completely brain dead tonight.

There is no /t.

I was trying to make the closed tag. What am I doing wrong?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm gonna close this, eh? Just add a t like before, and then the slash after

t open

t /I'm gonna close this, eh?

I don't have the context to frame what level spoiler this is, but I was trawling the Sun, and Peggy Olson to return to Mad Men: [link] ?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Really, really, really spoilery for Doctor Who. Except that I suspect it is a either a flat-out foiler, or at the very least deliberately misleading. However, if it is not a some kind of a foiler than this is about as spoilery for a single episode as it gets, as well as for an important point in the seasonal arc. If you click, it is at your own risk that this is real, and you are being spoiled the hell out of. I'm posting the link rather than naming the spoiler just in case someone does not want to be quite THAT spoiled. [link]

My thoughts: the first spoiler/foiler would be kind of awesome. The topic really can't get any scarier, so making it over the top and funny is not a bad way to go. The 2nd seasonal arc point - well I'm NOT thrilled. But could make for a decent story. Which is why I don't believe it. Moffat is not going to give away both of those if either one is true. Though I really want to see the first.
