Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Because books.

I was never EVER a Styx fan. But that song, in that moment? It was, like Morgana said, completely perfect. And now it comes on the radio and I turn it up, and I see them, in their SWAT uniforms, walking into that parking garage, and it's pure love.

"Carry On" is not one I'm going to listen to on purpose, even now, because it was so overplayed when I was a kid, but I do love hearing it within the context of the show. All kinds of AC/DC songs have new associations now, too, which is cool.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was a huge Styx fan when I was 12ish so now their music often makes me cringe

But that song, in that moment?

yeah.

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

I hope someone gets paid good money for choosing SPN music. Even if not everything vaults itself to iconic, so much of it is so very good...I'm remembering "Spirit In The Sky" in Good God Y'All, or the cheesy crap in Changing Channels, or "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" in Dark Side Of The Moon...and that's just season 5.

One of my favorites is actually in Route 666, Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home," as they drive away from Cassie.

Marketing shot for the S5 DVDs.

I sense such pleading from Cas in that picture. Having to deal with…mortals must be tiresome.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is there a literary term for the borderline between text and subtext?

I call it Domtext. But I'm a smartass.

Shouldn't Domtext be above the text?

I go with the theory that the text is sort of like God.

So Domtext is merely above the subtext. They were created in the text's image but don't contain all of the power of the text. Where mortals can try to figure it out but never really know.

I want that photo poster-sized. Or possibly even bigger.
