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.

I love drawing his face the most. It's such a pleasure.

Speaking of pleasures, two from my art friends list. Petite madame is doing a fic calendar for 2011. Every month she's doing an illo from a fanfic or another in wallpaper size. Needless to say, amazingly pretty. Includes J2.

Small comic strip by cafe de labeill. This one struck me just because of the expressiveness. Especially the last panel. Teen Dean and Cas.

Oh, I have a third. Daggomus Prime does spnroundtable. She's a pretty interesting artist.

I got the French in that strip almost right! I didn't forget *everything* I learned after ... god, twelve years of French.

Daggomus is fascinating. I love her work, and I really like what she says about likenesses. That makes a lot of sense to me.
