Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Because books.

The scene in 4.02, I think, where Dean is upstairs with Meg, makes it clear there are more than a couple rooms up there. In a house that size, there would be at least three.

I think Sam and Dean might end up bunking in the living room because they're lazy after a night of researching. But one room up there is clearly a guest/bedroom, because Bobby took Lisa and Ben up there.

Sam and Dean also might not want to go to the trouble of putting sheets on a bed, and that kind of thing. Also also? I doubt Bobby dusts up there much.

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

And during the episode at the end of the season where Cas came in to talk to Dean, he was the only one sleeping downstairs, I think. I guess they have only built out the ground floor, but I find it very frustrating.

Good catch on taking Lisa and Ben upstairs. I'd forgotten that.

Most often, they simply aren't writing canon Gabe

I hope to fix that :D Been rewatching some eps and remembering "hey! Gabriel was a cool, funny, smighty guy!"

It boggles me that he's been there since season 1.

I was skimming the blind pianist verse which is now done, and my god, the amount of words that were spent just on banter with Gabe. No plot, no character development, just rambling nonsense.

Also, what is with fics that give a pairing, a rating of M or NC-17, and then the pairing doesn't even start pre-slashing until 3/4's into the fic. Or there is no scene with both characters in it until halfway through. Especially when most of these stories hinge the plot on the romance, which isn't even there as a booger in the corner of the writer's eye until the fic is almost done (which is a long time in a 50,000-150,000 word fic).

2. eta: And I disagree he was cool funny and smighty. He was a petty rapist and murderer. Someone gets killed because they're involved in vivisection, for crying out loud. That's not justice.

The blind pianist verse is just a paean to characters. Nothing happens until reasonably late on in the story, and it's not interesting and it's pretty quickly cleared up.

Sorry, maybe I'm so overdosed with fic!Gabe that the petty rapist murdering bits are a welcome relief.

I'll rephrase: I enjoyed him in the episodes, (extreme) flaws and all, unlike I do in fic. Although at the end of Changing Channels, when he got all deadly and RS Jr. blew me out the water with his look of death, was when he started to annoy me with his whining.

Jollysnidge is giving you your wish for fluff, now that she's doing a fusion of The Holiday (S/G, though).

Man, is it too much to ask for bamf!Cas in AU's?

I wish I liked Jim's tweets more. But they make me grouchy. And if I had been following him when his daughter went mad (har--just checked) I'd have been even more irritated. 10 year old writing fanfic?

I was surprised when he would get into it with fans, and often get really whiny and petulant. And then you'd get dozens of miserable tweets in a row about being stuck on an airplane or something.

Yeah, I prefer performers like Misha, our sanitisers like Colin or goofs like Jared. I don't really care about that many of Jim's inner thoughts.

"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

This is why I stopped reading interviews by the Happy Endings cast. The writers manage to make Adam Pally's character an entertaining douchebag, but on his own the actor is just a douchebag, full stop.

Jeff Eastin started out being entertaining, but now I'm avoiding him too. I don't follow twitter regularly, but every now and again I peek in and see how some of the Leverage folks are doing, and Cols, and the Mishster. I did hear that JM Straczynski is funny on a Misha level, so I may have to give him a look.
