Ash has a new video, incorporating that awesome cello duo who looked an awful like Sam and Dean: [link]

For *fuck's* sake those download sites make me feel like an idiot. I can't find the right links to download shit. It's all designed to get me to download software, not the actual vid. For god's sake. I guess I'll go without saving it.

Having seen it, I'm glad I'm not on top of what the vidding community is doing, so I only find out things when they get around to being recommended. I imagine some people did some pretty crappy stuff with this idea. It's nice only seeing this well-paced one with a great choice of shots.

And yet she says she doesn't get off on the boys fighting each other. Oh, she does. She just doesn't know it yet,

I followed a link to ahem an episode (the one where Cas comes back) and ran into the same thing. I got so frustrated, I just gave up.

I'm obsessed with someone using Adele's Don't You Remember as a Dean/Cas vid.

When will I see you again?

You left with no goodbye,

Not a single word was said,

No final kiss to seal any sins,

I had no idea of the state we were in,

I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness,

And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head,

But don't you remember?

Don't you remember?

The reason you loved me before,

Baby, please remember me once more,

When was the last time you thought of me?

Or have you completely erased me from your memory?

For *fuck's* sake those download sites make me feel like an idiot.

Right?! I spent about fifteen minutes linking to the wrong thing before I realized I had to register on the site to be able to dl. Apparently it's the new SOP something or other taking effect. But she's got it on Vimeo now, password Winchesters.

That must have been exhausting to edit, I have to say.

I'm also still hung up on the tumblr comment you quoted, ita. SPN has it's issues with homosexuality, where I feel it's too often treated like the butt of a joke (and not in the main character potential pairing way). But I don't feel it warrants the "I'm looking at you, SPN" tag. Maybe the tag in question points more towards the part of the post that you didn't quote, where she goes on about female characters getting relegated to the background and fans hating on those women, which SPN fans are plenty guilty of, but I wouldn't crucify the show for.

I see a big line delineating between Show and Show's intentions, and fans interpretations and expectations. And I think fans have a big role in that, but the creators have a big role as well, and a role that I think they've failed at from time to time.

I decided to start watching Season 1 this afternoon, at least as background. I've made it through about 4 eps, and Dean has barely had anything to drink.

Weird.

Now I feel I must rewatch for drinking, too!

S.E. Hinton visited the set again. A collection of her tweets at the link -- no spoilers.

I think there was supposed to be a dramatic uptick with with his Hell-induced PTSD. He was just doing it for fun until then.

SE Hinton is cute. Her crush on Ivan Hayden is cute. Jared's response to her is cute, and so is Jensen's.

This Hunger Games fusion (all books) is just five snippets over the whole arc, but I think the choices of mapping are interesting. It's the first one I've seen that was entirely literal about person for person onto the Hunger Games universe.

I'm not sure how to say anything about the shipping without, well hell: Dean/Castiel, non explicit, so you know those mappings.

Jesus, that hurt. I mean, I mourned Prim plenty, but that this time it was SAM, wow. Really well written, too (even though that's about as much of second person POV as I can take).

It's disconcerting because there are such huge gaps in it. I guess it would be near incomprehensible if you didn't know the books, but just changing the point of view is a decent effort in restating it.

But, yeah, just putting the mappings out there is kinda painful.
