I am the fly who dreams of the spider

hamburger helper (what?)

I usually avoid mpreg fics like the plague, but it being scaramouche ("will you do the fandango?" --every single time I read that name!) and the description and author's notes were so intriguing that I gave it a shot, and I'm glad I did. Really interesting dynamics between Dean and Castiel, fascinating post-apocalyptic world, the interspersing of the flashbacks to eps we've seen with a different perspective and spin were brilliant. And the part I feared the most, the mpreg, was handled as delicately and non-crackily as I think is possible for the trope.

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

I'm a big scaramouche fan, but I just can't get into that story. I don't know precisely what it is about mpreg…I find the premise enitrely baffling. I've clicked back into that a few times, and backed out pretty hastily each time.

I will say this for the mpreg, it's not physical. The soul is found in Cas' wings and he shapes the body like is done in Named. And it's told about as briefly as that.

Art Crawl!!!

Wow j- more than 90K? That is amazing.

Meanwhile - Amazon sent me a message that due to a change in release date I'm not getting my dvds 'til Thursday. What do you think: due to Labor Day?

Because books.

That's weird, sumi -- I've been seeing ads on TNT saying they were coming out tomorrow. Unless I've got my dates wrong.

I read one mpreg by an author I loved, and it was about so much more than the actual pregnancy. Or, it was about the pregnancy, but it was about what it was like for a man to suddenly be labeled a "breeder," and the lack of agency over his body, as well as the relationship. It was amazing, because the author is, but it was also Wincest, so.

Just ... whenever I thought too hard about where the baby was growing, or going to emerge, I got seriously squicked. So I didn't, much. And she pretty much glossed over that part, too.

Yeah, there's no physical impregnation, or gestation. And the story's not about the being pregnant. And those three words are so misleading about what actually happened. But the kid and his origins are crucial to the story -and by origins I mean who his parents are, not how he grew out of Cas' left nostril. The connection between Dean and Cas, and the reason Cas stays gone.

I wonder if the same story could have been told if, say, Cas disappeared with Ben, or a baby born of Anna. Or if Cas had fathered a kid with a human woman. I think maybe the story could still stand if it was the latter, and Dean's connection to the kid just being that it's Cas' kid.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Isn't this the final piece of evidence that Misha must be from the planet Krypton? He blinds me with his effulgence.

ther was a girl that whent in the house and herd a sopsop (no idea what that is) and she triyed to run

Amy, I'm thinking even if I don't know what it means, if I heard "sopsop" when I went into the house, I would be running too. That's a scary noise and very Supernatural appropriate. Awesome!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Oh God, I just squicked myself out by making "sopsop" the sound of shoes walking through blood.

I need Dean to hold me.

And then Sam to have the bitey sex with me.

eta: whitefont to not be gross.

Bwah!

I always want Dean to hold me. And I always want Sam to have the bitey sex with me.

I'm sure you're shocked.
