Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

Having once lost a whole night to a D/C story that was about half a million words long, I find it's better for my sanity to stick to shorter unless I know the author.

Because I CANNOT seem to click the back button or stop reading, no matter how bad the train wreck.

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

If it all fits on one screen, it's probably too short for me to be happy, but I'll probably read it anyway. But otherwise I'm not picky. I mean, if it's over 1000 words, I'm good to go.

Aha! The person I was arguing with about the obstrinatrix thing agrees the initial point was legit. Good. She's an obstrinatrix stan, so that takes some doing.

Because books.

For me, 5,000 to 6,000 words is a perfect length. But I'll happily read anything around 1,000. To read longer fic, it has to be an author I really know and love, or something that seems excellent in the opening paragraphs.

The mini bangs were actually fun this year, though.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Yeah, frottage with Sam's body needs to be warned for, because the line between vessel and occupant is hazy, and we need to go with the most obvious and not assume that it's Cas [in Sam's body]. Which, hmm, takes me to an uncomfortable place with why Dean/Cas [in Jimmy's body] is okay. Is that another mutually agreed-upon ignored-can-of-worms.

But, I think it's less a vessel issue as it is a Sam/Dean issue. Because no matter how much it's Cas in Sam's body, and Sam is personally out of the equation, it's still Dean macking on his brother's body.

"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

Yeah, Dean maybe eventually getting over the fact that Cas' usual vessel mirrors his own plumbing I can buy, but possessing Sam would be an immediate relocation to You're Like A Brother To Me Land for the duration, IMHO.

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

Ah, Beverly, brilliant! I had not put that all together. Of course he wouldn't leave Impala by herself with no one to care for her.

This.

Okay, we are all going to cross our fingers really hard that the place I am staying on Friday has the CW. 'Cause I'll cut somebody, if not.

Hilariously, that means he's Thelma and Louis'ng it.

I caught the keychain in Sams hand the second go-round, as well as the clunker van left idling with its headlights on.

But, really, whoa, yeah, good call, Bev, with Dean taking every bit of Winchester out, including their home, the impala, their yellow crayon (sorry!), if Bobby turns out to be dead.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
