Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Because books.

I loved the idea, though, and I think it would be a shame if they didn't revisit it. Demons and humans breeding? There should be more Jesses around, really.

And didn't someone mention it's almost a nephilim thing, since all demons can be traced back to Lucifer, who is in fact an angel?

Ooh. Yes. Was it ever said that Lucifer was the only fallen angel, or did others fall with him? I've somehow managed to come up with head!canon regarding Azazel being an angel who was corrupted by Lucifer much as Lilith was corrupted.

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

Current fic peeve: "whilst". Just don't.

Why? It's a word.

It's always seemed pretty British to me, though.

Well, if it's a cultural slip, I won't beat on it too much.

As a non-Brit, to me it just reads archaic, especially when none of the wordage around it seems to match.

As long as you don't give it to me from the POV of a non-British character, I don't mind (eta: it's not archaic, just across the pond). It's just a word. But there are American words that are inappropriate for the boys too. I just read Dean saying "whirligig" and it kinda stood out for me. But maybe that's more common than I imagine.

I've seen whilst in several different narrative POVs, some of them might have been the boys, and they may have even said it out loud.

Then someone needs some Ameripicking, stat.

Britishisms throw me out of a story so fast, especially when it's Dean or Sam's POV. I read a lovely one yesterday, and got to a place where Dean was talking about "sewing on a proper button" and I blinked.

It's such a stupid little thing, but there are so many Dean!words and ways to phrase things, and that's just not one of them.

I have to admit, I'm pretty bad at regional English. I always spot when someone spells like me, but I learnt to speak in so many places that I have no idea what's appropriate for where. If they say it in Jamaica, Canada, Britain, the Midwest or Cali, I'm probably good with it, and it takes some thinking to make sure it's not right for a generically American character.

(i.e. "proper button" does not twig anything for me at all. If Sam went off to university, well, that's all very sensible of him)
