The quote you made did not mention lack of souls. Did the vamp king actually say something on the lines of "you have souls we dont"?

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
The quote says that if you've got a soul you go to heaven or hell-up or down. Then he makes the distinction of his kind, which seemed to me to be pretty clearly the other case-soulless. How are you interpreting it?
This is the quote:
The thing about souls -- If you've got one, of course -- Is they're predictable. You die, you go up or down. Where do my kind go?
It seems pretty clear to me that he means his kind don't have souls, which is why they don't go to heaven or hell.
So it's canon in Supernaturalverse that dogs have souls? All Dogs Go to Heaven. Bonesy or whatever his name was when Sam ran away. Then again, that was Sam's greatest hits and not Bonesy's. Ima count it cause I'd like dogs in heaven.
Are you saying you think they're soulmates?
So there's a fic. It's AU, yay! It's 5k, yay! It's PG, hmmm. (c'mon, there at least needs to be punches thrown, blood spurting, violence, gore...). It says it's deliberately bad writing in Harlequin style.
Hold the phone.
Why would I read five thousand words of deliberately bad purple PG prose. I'm failing to see the pro in the pro-con here.
The author is being self-deprecating. It's not that bad. If that was their aim, they missed. It's dramatic, but...pirates. It should be.
Much worse has been committed by mistake.
huh.
Also, ita, I can't believe you finally read the Soul/Soldier fic. I mostly skimmed it ages ago, so I can't speak to the descriptions. I didn't catch that the description for Dean didn't match to JA. But I def do not like when one character turns out to be another. There's disconnect for me, although in that case it did explain why Dean seemed so NOT Dean and OOC.
If Dean's going to be OOC for the whole fic, well, thank god it was a decent Castiel. But I'm reading for Dean/Castiel, dammit. I want both of them to be there, even if there's a good reason Dean's not acting like Dean. And it wasn't, IMO, a rewarding reason. I hate that plot choice.
I did like the chemistry between them, but that was about it. I was mightily frustrated by the end of it, and ended up skimming from the final confrontation on through the resolution. Instant disconnect. And I'd invested a lot to get there! I know folk don't want to be spoiled, but I'd rather know so I don't waste my time with that plot.
