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.

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

Castile soap, if memory serves.

That's going right over my head.....oh, huh, just googled and there it is. Okay, thanks for the info. But really, if they want to insult a character, that's the best they can do?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Is that his son? That can't be his son! The baby can't be growing that quickly. It's not possible.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I could see doing a project where you read all the fic, watch all the vids, etc before watching the show and then compare the fannish text to the canon text, as something like an anthropological project. But, this is not that.

And she's working so very, very hard to twist the text to fit her belief system, and seeing as how she hasn't even SEEN the season I just was staring at the screen in amazement. (One of my favorites came from the preview clip where Dean said he hadn't read Lovecraft because he'd been out having sex with women. This person says the writers had them emphasize the "with women" part of the sentence - because normal people wouldn't talk like that, they'd just say they were out having sex. They wouldn't have to indicate the gender of their partner, you see.)

And then people were making comments as though she were a reasonable human being.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ignoring the crazy people.

Watching vids and stumbled across this one by xTernallyDazzled: [link] from late 2010. Music "Teardrops" by Massive Attack. Great gen Sam and Dean.

I've seen posts of people that are flouncing off of season Seven. They aren't even going to see how things turn out? Boggle. And they aren't just "oh well, things didn't go the way I wanted so I'm really not interested anymore." They are "I am seething with rage and this is the only thing I can threaten at the moment that won't get me thrown in jail." It's scary.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Dean said he hadn't read Lovecraft because he'd been out having sex with women.

They wouldn't have to indicate the gender of their partner, you see.

To be fair, he did say the "With women." as a second sentence after a pause. But my take was it was brotherly needling in the manner of "unlike you, who never knew the touch of one in school, Sasquatch!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've always taken that "with women" addition not to exclude sex with men (which it does, but that's not the point) but to exclude sex with oneself.

Yeah, that's how I read it, too. Because that's what it was, crazy people!
