In general, I don't like when fandom does works with fandom in it, because they all seem to be earnest in a way that doesn't include me. I wasn't hurt or betrayed by Sam's soullessness or the rift between the boys. Sera doesn't owe me anything, and she knows how to work the boys just fine (zimchan's assertion that fandom knows better how to play with Sam and Dean is just entitled bullshit, IMO--they are not ours, it's nor measured that way) and when I don't like it anymore, I'll just stop watching.

But that video is muddy to me. I'm not entirely sure what segment of fandom is being shown there, and in what way. I just flinch when they show impassioned screenshots of people freaking out over plot developments. It strikes me as overwrought.

Raphael's in charge of Heaven? I thought he was fighting Cas for control of it.

Well, yeah, but I'm fairly confident Castiel isn't interfering with souls making it to their intended afterlife. Well, except for Dean's. And Bobby's, I guess.

We don't know what those creepy refugees from The Shining that appeared in the visions from the alpha vampire were yet, do we? Maybe that's more than just disturbing imagery of past victims.

Well, yeah, but I'm fairly confident Castiel isn't interfering with souls making it to their intended afterlife.

We don't have any evidence that anyone's doing that. Just that Balty is buying them ahead of death. Raphael hasn't been shown to have any involvement in the soul plot yet. Just that he's been trying to collect the heavenly weapons to fight Cas to free Michael and Lucifer. In fact, I'm not clear if he's officially trying to take Cas's sheriff badge, but I guess that's implied.

Unrelatedly, what is people's favourite bit of completely unsupported fanon? I think mine is hooker Dean.

There are more. Apparently, he needs to know what hat to wear to breakfast with China.

Misha has a rich fantasy life.

Favorite unsupported fanon? Hmmm. I have to think about that.

His eyes are so beautiful in this one. I think I'm looking at it wrong.

But, like, REALLY beautiful.

I think it's because the netting calls attention to them.

I can't believe I actually just said that.

In fic where they wax rhapsodic, I'm all "yeah, they're nice, I dig it."

But, oh god, those are gorgeous.

The fanon thing is bugging me now. I can't think of much that hasn't been touched on by Show in one way or another.

Probably Sam/Brady. That's a good one.

Also, anything having to do with Dean as de facto mom -- we know he made meals and stuff, but I'm talking about sewing on buttons, signing Sam's permission slips, that sort of thing.

Oooh, I forgot. John and Ellen having resentful, scratch-an-itch sex from time to time.

Nobody challenged Crowley when he called Brady Sam's lover, so I think it's canon.

Or, you know, unexamined. Don't harsh my mellow.

I'll allow it.

The color of Misha's eyes is beautiful, but it's the shape, too. They're incredibly expressive.
