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.

"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

Fighting monsters via a combo of research and badassedness, with angst being heaped on the pile season by season. There's a lot of similarity in the basic premises.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ita, I'm reading dizbil.

It's hilarious. I can't --maybe it's heatstroke --I feel kinda bad, cuz maybe it's a second language thing-- god, it's just beyond grammar. I suck at grammar. But between Castiel's cock being inside Dean's (OMG: extreme sounding!) and their asses slapping together (what are they *doing*?! is this physically possible?!!!) and poor Dean being pressurized by his family (I envisioned a hot air balloon with bowlegs), I am beside myself.

Buffy: I can see the similarities when it's laid out as words in print, but I don't feel it. Maybe in some of the lighter eps where they bring out more of the humour? But otherwise, Show has more X-Files vibes in look, tone, and the way it deals with humour. And also that it revolves more insularly around two central characters, and not a sprawling team.

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

My LJ note for dizbil says "English not a strong point". But I was reading not logged in, so I didn't have the benefit of the asterisk, so I read it by mistake. Oh, dear.

I think you should take your mind off it by looking again at the PG D/C from V-S: Worm. It's adorbs.

I came to the conclusion that it's not the language that's a problem, but the lack of a strong hold on reality.

I saw that. So wrong. "It's a snake!" I think my favorite part is how atrocious the art is, when there's also entries like "A Poor Substitute for God".

I like both her styles of stuff, but I've seen people bitching that she's punking fandom by being two people. They don't know much about artists.

How is she punking them within the same journal?!

There's the serious stuff, and then there's the play. I get that. and the play is fun. There's no rule that says that because you can do something well that you have to do it at that level all the time. And I respect the play stuff more because I know there's a slant of talent not being tapped, but the play has a different kind of talent behind it. Especially the sense of fun and succinct humour and dealing with panels and punchlines.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This Nerd HG interview is adorable. I thought I'd watch a couple of minutes but I am almost all of the way through and totally laughing at the amusement factor that JP brings.
