Dean/Bobby: In Nomine Patris. Try it. I'm serious.

And if that doesn't float your boat, have a shot at some Dean/Caleb: Seventeen and Flesh For Your Romeo.

I really need to explore more rarepairs.

Dean/Caleb? Who thinks of these. There honestly isn't enough room in my brain for my own personal ships but to throw rare ones in? I just shake my head.

Yay for Jake being a junkie. We know how that feels. The toaster should be in the mail.

Also, in the spirit of cross pollination, I just watched this week's Terriers on FX. The reason I bring it up in here is that one of the main characters has the same broken/low self esteem, but still omgcharming, as is written into Dean. If you like broken Dean, I think you'll like broken Hank. It's worth catching the rerun of this weeks episode.

Speaking of broken Dean, I had to watch Swan Song last night.

I didn't catch that Cas told Dean, "you don't have to be mean." Also, I really liked Misha's delivery of "I like that" when Dean calls him the new sheriff in town. I wasn't paying close enough attention to Cas the first go round I guess. The failed attempt at lying to Sam was still hilarious though.

Now to read Dobby. Oh, the things I do for buffistas.

Rarepairs is where Sam/Brady lives. Obviously it is of the good.

Now I have an excuse for staying home on Friday night that I might actually choose over socializing even if I weren't worn out at the end of the workweek and wanting to veg out in front of the TV.

I'm still having difficulty making my brain think of Friday as Show night, but having Human Target as the lead-in at 8 p.m. on Fox and then SPN at 9 will make for a satisfactory night of TV, I believe.

Ooh, I wonder what the new title card will be.

Bright sunlight and gently drifting clouds...

Seriously though, I have half a hunch that we may be seeing the S1 title card again.

Good call, Anne. That makes sense.

I was thinking like, maybe a close-up of a supernova, something firey and explosive but also signifying death and rebirth. Ooh, fire in bird shape, combining seasons 2 and 4 and being all phoenix-like.

Rarepairs is where Sam/Brady lives. Obviously it is of the good.

I'm still skeptical about that being canon, though. Crowley is demonstrably all about using the homoeroticism to discomfit people he's dealing with, and Sam didn't have any big "BUSTED!" reaction to the demon lover comment as far as I could tell.

Though perhaps given what we've seen onscreen in the past, embarrassment over who he's slept with is no longer an issue that Sam can be successfully needled with. "My demon girlfriend tricked me into killing people for their blood and unleashing the Devil!" is pretty difficult to top in the way of poor judgment regarding one's exes.

I love that Sam didn't have any reaction to it at all, though. I admit willingly that Crowley is an unreliable narrator, but I put its presentation as more than "erotically codependent" and whatever people think that he was hearing wincest with his demon bug.

Because? Basically? Sam/Brady is hot, and leads to Sam/Brady/Jess. See what I mean by of the good?

So I'm checking out the latest Ray LaMontagne album, reading the description, and they mention the influence of Jesse Winchester. So naturally I have to check him out, and he's got a song called Black Dog. Check out the lyrics, it's freaky: [link]
