Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But it was Meg herself who thought the demon dressed her slutty, and based on the peasant top and the very natural hair, I guess that could just be her take on it?

Exactly this. The character herself's read on it.

Seriously? Slut? That's harsh. How do you characterise Bela's clothing, or Ellen's cleavage, or Jo's visible stomach?

*I* didn't characterize demon!Meg as dressed slutty, dead Meg did. I think the demon dressed in a more sexually aware or provocative way but a lot of it was attitude too.

Bela was ... I don't even recall. Ellen's cleavage was awesome. She's a woman and I can easily read her as owning her sexuality happily. Jo dressed her age and sense of self. The demon dressed Meg's body in a way that was clearly not comfortable for Meg. That's the difference for me.

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

Sorry. When you said "far more provocative" you didn't mean that in any sense outside of human!Meg's PoV? Because you said it in a post all by itself, and I thought you were speaking for yourself. And when you say it again in that post, I still can't tell.

Oh, I absolutely felt the demon dressed, did her hair and most of all acted in a far more provocative way than human!Meg. What I don't personally think is that she ever dressed slutty. Slutty was Meg's word and I wouldn't have used it.

But, yes, I think the demon dressed more provocatively. Tight red leather is a different statement than layered cotton peasant shirts even if the latter show off the body more. Personally I liked her style better as a demon, but I can see how the character might have felt differently.

While I think the demon dressed more provocatively, she's dressed unprovocatively enough that just using that word smacks of...well, I don't want to say "she was asking for it" because that's a huge level more serious that what I mean. I just don't think she's dressing provocatively at all, so it's a weird word to apply, and I'd be surprised if people were looking at her clothes and having...responses provoked.

But, then again, people. She just looks far more fashionably put together to me, and even more attractive. Just not provocative. She's not all out there, sartorially.

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

Did you guys see the promo during TVD of Castiel walking in that alley with the shadow of his wings and then he stands there all smoldering hot? Day-um Misha can turn the hot on.

I'm just saying Crowley ordered them executed, and Samuel delivered them up for it, and the intent was no less capital than when Roy or Walt pulled the trigger.

Oh man, I’m going to go to bed all pissed tonight. Dean was so awesome with his “Ima be pissed” hissed to Roy and Walt. I want them to pay. Sampa doesn’t make sense to me. A Grandpa doesn’t give up his grandkids. I don’t get Sampa. His motivations make no sense to me. I can believe them—I just don’t in any way identify with them. Also, my dream scene is for JDM and Samantha Smith to both show up to confront him. I want to see Mary’s wrath for betraying her boys. Please, please, please. If I am a good girl and never ask for anything else, can I please have John and Mary together onscreen before the end of the series?

Was Samuel planning to keep one of those angel-repellent sigils fresh and nearby for the rest of his life if he succeeded in getting his grandsons killed?
Another example of Sampa not making smart choices. He is vastly underestimating the wrath of Castiel. Even for the loss of Sam, Castiel would extract payment. As I’ve said before, he loves his little abomination.
Meg might be a little more wary of Castiel now, kiss or no kiss, that she saw how he dispatched Crowley, though.

Castiel has been playing it cool. Only stepping forward with his scary face when he is forced into it. He is still the Angel of the Lord. Fools would forget that.

In other news, I had a rather awful realization about the implications of Cas 'taking care of' the residents of Monster Gitmo. Wouldn't that have included the shifter babies? And Bobby-John? That's where I would like fixit fic, or at least an ep tag to undo the belated horror.
This has bothered me all week. Cas wasn’t in there opening the jail doors. Cas is a mighty tool of destruction. See: Fools would forget that.

I laugh at all these people railing at Meg's slutty ways, where really, her sum total of sexual anything is talking dirty. Oh, big whorish tramp.

Meg masters was not slutty. She was sexual. She gave, if not lap dances, then pretty close to rubbing when the boys were tied up in season one. Her dress was something that a very conservative girl might use the words slutty. I wouldn’t. But I can see a pissed girl who had a strict moral code lashing out with that word.

Ellen's cleavage, by the way, is AWESOME.

And once again, Amy is wise. Ellen dresses in a manner that can be comforting Mom while at the same time red hot woman. She is still the sexiest woman from the show for me with absolutely no negative connotations or apologies associated with her attitude.

I still think reading dyslexia into canon is just pandering to your particular narrative/character kinks. He's shown absolutely no problem reading or spelling whatsoever, much less dyslexia-specific issues. Yet it seems to have a minor fan following.
Not only did Dean not struggle with writing his letter to Sam and Bobby, he had excellent penmanship. The boy has no learning disabilities that I can see.

Wasn't ghost!Meg in the angry ghost episode? Would we consider her a reliable narrator?

Because books.

DVR alert. Jensen and SPN featured on some MTV show on Saturday morning.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I looked up the episode title because I couldn't quite shake loose where I knew it from.

A merchant in Baghdad sends his servant to the marketplace for provisions. Shortly, the servant comes home white and trembling and tells him that in the marketplace he was jostled by a woman, who he recognized as Death, and she made a threatening gesture. Borrowing the merchant's horse, he flees at top speed to Samarra, a distance of about 75 miles (125 km), where he believes Death will not find him. The merchant then goes to the marketplace and finds Death, and asks why she made the threatening gesture. She replies, "That was not a threatening gesture, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra."

It's fair to stop a fic at this line, right?

The taller one drew his eyes first since he was nearly, if not over, six feet but one scan showed that despite the man’s size he looked rather harmless

I mean, the narrator is talking about the Winchesters. And isn't stupid. Rather, is supposed to be madly observant.

I'm scared to ask, but... what's the other fandom?
