Right? I was thinking that just after I typed it.
I'm getting excited now when I see cloudyjenn. She's got the feelgood and the now she's got the f-bomb and I don't start playing solitaire when the NC-17 scene comes around. Because she's gone there all of once (and it was good!). Just finished Much Ado, and it was angsty and cute and managed to fall into and right out of trope traps, which was nice.
The HS AU's are starting to bug, because they're starting to feel too much like "high thar! Ahm in haghschool [/college] and I want 2 right wot I no"
/iz mean
There does seem to be a horrible onslaught of too much HS. And you know what? Enough with the Sam/Gabriel where Sam is under sixteen and Gabriel is older than Castiel. Turns out, I can't handle underage Sam, even in AU.
Especially
in AU. AU is the only way I can handle S/G, and for god's sake, make it legal.
College AU I don't mind so much--I'm a bit entranced by swing-set's one with the wish. Somehow I missed the posting of the first part of that. I don't feel like there are as many, or they are as juvenile.
Still, people, mix it up more! I want to see popular Cas! I want Cas not actually related to seven million angel-named siblings and a random Anna. Something.
My big problem with HS AU is that it generally means BAMF Cas is right off the table. Why?
There's a weird HS AU right now that looks like it's doing
something
with angelic lore, so Cas might be BAMFy (and the S/G looks platonic, thankful--but I resemble the implication Sam needs more brothering than Dean). But I can only think of one recently where Cas was actually cool (within the HS cool--scaramouche's Cas was cool too, and could land a punch, but still outcast) and Dean was not popular.
500 Miles came on on my drive home tonight, and the vid has made it such a SamandDean song for me. I couldn't possibly platonically ship this two harder. I'm so glad they're back on the same page now. I mean, Sam has his soul back. Dean's lie was exposed. Dean's begrudgingly admitted that Sam's choice of making amends is something he'd do, and judging from the trailer, whatever cracks we saw at the end of the last episode, Sam is walking around this week. So it seems to be a gradual issue with the wall, not an all or nothing.
Looks like Meg (Miner, not Aycox) is going to be on Criminal Minds tomorrow. They're really racking up the SPN ladies.
I want Samantha Ferris next!
OMG, that even got to me. And I have no heart.
On the truly shallow tip: good god, Jensen. What nice forearms you have. And Jared, you're so cute, with the butting, and the insky.
Unrelatedly, it occurs to me that while I might be able to move past the Samulet, when I try I get caught up on the voicemails in 4.22. The boys are doing so much better now. I get that they won't be perfect, and I don't even want it, but those two rift thingies suck.
"Oscarus!" "God bless you." "I don't like this story!" He likes to be included, clearly.
Awwww. That was sniffle inducing indeed.
