Hopefully Neil will have creative control of all the major aspects, particularly casting?

I totally get what Jilli is saying. The Endless are NEVER harmless. They are more powerful than Gods. But like Gods, they will fuck up humans to win a bet, or on a whim. They will punish as ruthlessly for minor offenses as for grand attacks.

Think of "cute harmless" (something I know nobody here would say but I fear Kripke) Delirium ordering little chocolate people filled with raspberry creme in Brief Lives, bringing them to life:

... the two surviving chocolate people copulate desperately, losing themselves in a melting frenzy of lust, spending the last of their brief borrowed lives in a spasm of raspberry cream and fear.

And yet Delirium is also genuinely vulnerable and and friendly and curious. And it takes a heck of a touch to get both aspects. Poor broken girl. Delirium who used to be Delight. Friendly, well meaning. And yet also deadly dangerous. Will cut you (metaphorically) and does not need a reason.

And Dream and Death are much more difficult than Delirium. Desire may seem more 1-dimensional, and yet shehe too is complex and takes careful understanding. Desire is unstoppable lust and obsession, but also the sibling who is insanely jealous of his/her brother Dream, yet loves that brother more fiercely than she/he can admit.

From what I can tell, Neil is not yet on board though they'd like him to be. It seems he does not hold the tv rights.

ETA: I'd really like to see a shared product from the minds of Edlund and Gaiman.

Sleepy, sexy, leather ... Mrph.

Oh ehab. Thanks to you, my morning is so much better. Guh.

In "hardly needs to be said" news, watching the sex scene in Heart will never, ever get old. Oh, Sam's back. Ripple some more. Come on. Mmmm.

SPN needs more black leather, I think.

Out of a perverse curiosity I clicked on a Dean/Castiel/Sam fic to see how they handled the psychology of it (I have no interest in but can parse D/C/S where there is no real D/S, so I'm curious to know if it's being written). In this fic, Dean has a shitfit at the idea of sharing Cas with Sam, but no problem sleeping with his brother. This, people, is why our fandom has a rep. You make such a point of Dean having this one problem, and don't deal with him screwing Sam?

However, every time I see people saying "I'd watch the show but..." or "I'd get into the fandom, but..." and cite incest and crazy as the reason, damn, people, get over it. Read what you want to read, talk to who you want to talk to about what you want to talk about. Outside of the people who don't warn (bad people! bad, bad people!), you get to make your own rules.

Okay, if you are into het, things might be a bit slow going. But other than that.

I will sign the petition for more JP sex scenes. Please, lord, please.

Watching Hollywood Babylon makes me think that is what Dean should be doing post-Swan Song, not trying to build a picket fence life with a one-night-stand who had his spirit baby. (I'm assuming Ben isn't actually Dean's child, or it would have been much easier for Michael to convince him to serve as a vessel instead of resurrecting Adam from the dead.)

That meaning what, Matt?

God, so true. And I'm really not interested in het when it's Ruby or Bela, either.
