Already forgot both story and author who spelled it "Stalls" cemetary.

I just read a D/C where they have a baby that I didn't hate. But there was no MPREG. It just kind of appeared. It was kinda cute.

Destiny of a Hunter was awful.

oh good, I didn't finish it.

Wow, wandersfound explains how Dean is attracted to Jimmy in the space of a paragraph. Way to force the matter. That wasn't slapped on at all.

Wandersfound did a lot of explaining and very little expressing. I found her story disappointing. I still don't buy why Jimmy was attracted to Dean, why he wouldn't go home, or all in all what happened between them.

But Destiny of a Hunter was plain badfic.

But in happier news, Supernatural day!

Elsewhere I read a suggestion that Sampa had been raised from Hell, and that's where he was taking his suggestions from. Hmmph. Why would he go to hell? I don't want Mary's father to have been hellbound. I think I'd prefer rogue angels. They're pretty bad themselves. But at least he'd have been in Heaven.

Watching Sam, Interrupted this morning. I have heard people debate Dean's comments about Babar the Elephant and the 50 drinks comment. But why assume he is a reliable narrator here? Yes, telling the truth got them admitted, but neither comment came off as the truth. The not having children's books comments felt like an excuse to cover using Dr. Babar as part of their cover. And the 50 drinks felt like Dean showing off and exagerrating.

At least that is my take on it.

What's showing off about 50 drinks? It sounds like a sad, frank thing, like everything else he said to his fictional therapist. In fact, I'm assuming that what he said to her was probably the most honest he's been all season, and that's probably the point of her fake existence.

As for stuff he says to maintain a cover, I consider that completely different--he doesn't say he never had children's books, by the way. What he does do is quote Fletch.

Why did I *just* now do the math? That's seven drinks a day, plus one. God.

While I do think Dean is more honest with his fictional therapist, I also felt like he was letting his inner fears form his remarks to her. Being responsible for every life on the planet, 50 drinks a week, and so on.

Dean's confessions to the the fictional therapist are basically that he feels like he alone has to save the world, that he sleeps 3-4 hours a week, that he drinks around 50 drinks a week to get that much sleep and has never had a long term relationship.

They all sounded like things he believes about himself. I don't see where that much drinking counts as a fear or showing off. Combined with the amount we do get to see him drink (like the detritus in Dark Side of the Moon) I don't see any rationale for unreliable narrator, especially since it seems pretty simple to accept everything else--or do you think he was lying about the rest too?

It just seems Occam's razorish for me.
