cheerios: back to the baptism scene, there was that in the back of my head, but mostly I was thinking about Dreamcatcher with Damian Lewis, and the bit in Thursdays Child where Pestilence's body was sunk into the reservoir and his body continued to infect and kill long after his death.
So, the ep didn't actually turn out as bad as those two scenarios, because I was thinking globally spreading contagion, rather than a dispersal of the individual leviathans.
On one hand, I think there's still a leviathan in Cas' body that is the boss, but I like the idea that Cas has already been cleansed of all the monsters, and that he washed up naked on the other shore, and in my fic-ridden brain, once he's back on his feet, he's hunting the leviathans down, human-style, cleaning up his mess, and all that Sam and Dean know is that there's someone out there helping them out, they just don't know who. (Cas can't or won't find them, I'm thinking can't).
Thanks, Bev. I Think that satisfied my coat needs.
Okay, here's a fic that could have been much longer. Dean/OMC, and more sweet than sexy.
Gah. This picture bothers me. You can't do that with the trenchcoat.
The use of Stan in fandom seems to be about a year or so old, and I see it mainly on Tumblr. (And, umm, hate it and want to burn it with fire, but that's totes my ish.)
I've seen it on LJ a lot. But I've only been looking at fannish things on tumblr for a few months.
It makes me laugh, because Stan was a murder-suicidal psychotic fan, and people are voluntarily self-identifying with him.
It sounded sort of familiar to me, but in the way that I just slowly absorbed what fen meant, etc.
Don't put the trench coat on Cas's head, people. That's just ... stupid.
Julie, she's a bit of a diva, and has opinions. She can be unwelcoming to those who don't share those opinions. She was very strident a while back with 'cesters and readers who weren't watching the way she does.
OTOH, her canon characters read like my head canon, and she does great outside POV characters.
I equate Stan with the janitor in IMTOD Azazel then possessed for all of S2. I felt sorry for him when Dean was yousonofabitching him in the graveyard--I mean, just a hapless guy named Stan who got grabbed, you know? By the time YED was killed by the Colt, poor Stan had long been toast.
