That said, I can't say the demon blood addiction as written was particularly convincing and Kripke's explanation of the Dumbo line doesn't make much sense to me.

His explanation was my fanwank of it, so. Apparently my fanwank was the intent?

It was clunky, however.

I think I'll choose something else to spend the next several hours with.

I'm a live-and-let-live kinda gal, but... wow. ::boggles:: Mind if I join you, Morgana?

Dear lord. To counter that, maybe a little, I just read an AU (non big bang) where the author also said she didn't know what she was talking about. Unsaid, a PG-13 D/C AU by liadan14, where Dean is deaf and Castiel is mute. I can't vouch for any accuracy about living with deafness, but the emotions are so charming and sweet that I at least hope for veracity.

Ooh, I really liked Unsaid.

Mind if I join you, Morgana?

Not at all. It's a nice soft cushy bench with lots of pillows and regular visits by waiters who wander by with iced tea and cookies.

Ugh. Is the assumption, then, that at least one of the pairings listed is performing the non-con on a minor? I know RPF readers, especially AU, are not thinking of people, but it's like the slavery AUs for me. I just...I can't even read the summary comfortably.

ita, that would be my assumption, that either Richard Speight or Frederic Lehne possibly both are involved in non-con with the minor version of Jared. And yeah, that hits my squick meter really, really high.

::shudder::

I just want to drown myself in schmoop. I wouldn't be reading that if it were set inside the show universe, but putting real people's names on it just wigs me out more.

...putting real people's names on it just wigs me out more

Yup. Squick meter is definitely redlining.

Hey, I'm at my parents' house and they've gone to bed. If anybody wants to post pictures of twinky JA that aren't already on provacateuse I wouldn't mind at all. Did I mention I had a lot of riesling with dinner?
