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

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

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

Uncanny Valley gets thrown around a lot. I don't think it applies in the case of any human I've seen without plastic surgery. He's just really pretty. But 100% human. Uncanny Valley isn't perfect. It's soulless and flat.

DA era JA was especially quirky and animated, so I really don't see it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I think it was part of the whole X5 thing. Better, stronger, faster, prettier.

He was the prettiest of the X5s, but only Alba looked flat to me. And that was because she can't act.

Mmmm. I love me some X5 Alec. He was delicious.

There's five seasons worth of JA being delicious here: [link]

And here are a couple of seasons of Misha delisha, as a bonus: [link]

Season 1 Sam should be extremely easy to render in anime style. Take your standard generic wide-shouldered guy from Macross or any similar style series, and superimpose Cousin It over his head with a wedge subtracted to show part of his face.

Screw you all.

I've gone and attempted to draw teh Ackles. This is the first time I've drawn in . . . shit, has it been twelve years? Am figuring out how to upload from my phone camera to the internet.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Further proof that fandom inspires creativity!

It's still not online yet, but I a better able to critique the anime/art (I still can't explain why I still think his eyes are close set, except maybe he has a narrow skull, and it's the proportions of that that make the proportions of his eyes seem off.)

[link] Here his chin is too narrow, his mouth too wide, the flare of his nose too narrow. He doesn't have a pointy jaw. His face is very slim, not heart-shaped or triangular. His ears are fairly flat against his head. He has high cheek bones but they aren't flashy.

Whereas Sam has become Cro Magnon Man, which is fairly easy to create a caricature of.

Ack! Surprise wincest! So I'm reading this long AU fic, and I read the warnings, and there were even spoiler-barred warnings that I read, and then WHAM! Not cool, and for a throwaway paragraph, rather gratuitous.

And yet, I'm not aghast at the Castiel/Gabriel inappropriate behaviour. Maybe because Castiel is horrified, and Gabriel is just naturally inappropriate and enjoys mindfucking.

Snapfish isn't sending me the necessary 14 digit code I need to get the picture from my phone, so it looks like I won't be sharing my drunken sketches with y'all. Saves me the embarassment, at least.
