Huh.
When and why was he inexplicably in my 'hood? [link]

[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.
One thing I love about that sneak peek is how both Sam and Dean grab for words...and don't find them. They're not pithy, they're not snappy (well, there are a couple of Dean-mots), but there are moments where they're just too overcome with just...whatever to be able to finish the sentence properly.
It makes me want to hug them, if that's not a visually ludicrous proposition. Boys!
Seattle isn't that far from Vancouver, right?
Ooh, as soon as I hit post, I came up with a completely ridiculous theory, like Gen and Jared want the baby born Stateside, so Gen is staying in JDM's Seattle place (because in my head he has one, okay?) so Jared can get to her quicker on weekends until the sprog is sprung.
I should write for Weekly World News.
Dean-mots
Heh. That's a keeper.
Nope, not too far. Couple hours.
But if Seattle, then seriously, my neighborhood?
I'd think you'd want a child of American parents born in Canada for the dual citizenship as a bonus shower gift.
Raisin Bran: Just ran across a High School AU story in which Ellen, Bobby, Jo, and Sam take Dean to a PFLAG meeting and he doesn't realize it's for his benefit: [link]
I did not know how badly I needed to read about this situation until someone wrote it!
I'm reading someone's season 6 meta analysis (from a D/C bent, natch) and I'm disagreeing with a lot of the groundwork. They claim that clearly Cas was wrong to do what he did to stop Raphael and the second apocalypse because it didn't work.
But it DID.
It just brought on a slew of other world-ending problems that NO ONE could have anticipated, no matter how much Dean wants to retroactively rewrite the reasons why Cas not listening to him was wrong. Dean didn't freaking know there would be Leviathans.
And then I randomly began likening it to the crap we've done to mess up the environment. Like, hey, we've got this bug affecting our citrus crops, let's bring in the Asian Lady Bird beetle. And then the solution turns into a problem in itself. And a hundred other things we've done in the name of solving a problem, not realizing the consequences. Yeah, hindsight is 20/20, but it's not a a valid reason to say "I told you so" when there was no evidence to support you at the time.
Oh Dean and your ultimatums and absolutes.
Yeah, despite all Dean's "I would have found a better way," the war in Heaven was really way above his and Sam's pay grade, and they've only been able to affect such things in the past when the principals were obsessed with using them as tools. And they've aligned themselves with Ruby, Meg, and Crowley himself when the goal was something they wanted badly for personal reasons, so he'd already beaten the high horse he was trying to get up on to death.
What he should have been blasting Cas for was the deception and spying being a betrayal of their personal relationship, not the taking actions that hadn't been given the Dean Winchester seal of harebrained plan approval.
That is a cute guy, a cute son, and what looks like a practical kitchen, designed to be used. Am jealous on many levels.
