I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Heh. This discussion is making me want to listen to Rush.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm reading this terrible summer camp AU where the author keeps switching pov every paragraph, sometimes within the same paragraph, and backing up in time to account for the other persons thoughts on and reactions to the scene playing out. Even mid-conversation, the next paragraph will be the other character thinking about and responding to what was said two or three paragraphs ago instead of the immediately preceding one.

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

I think the explanation for that is that it's written by two people. Dollars to doughnuts it's being done RP style. And they're both under 20. There it's no emotional awareness in that story at all.

Because books.

Supernatural's most badass weapons.

I'm not sure why they mention that Dean didn't invent the salt round for the shotgun, and don't mention he made the EMF meter out of a Walkman.

And they do get the Latin on the Colt wrong--it's non timebo mala. Also, they get it with five bullets, not seven.

Not sure why the angel swords are called Lucifer's sword--is that from canon? I mean, they've all got one.

Okay, what episode is the snark illo from? I love that!

And it's ipecac.

Uh...which isn't to say I didn't like it. I just...pick.

I think the snark picture is from Bad Day at Black Rock, shortly before or after he says he's Batman.

I've realized I should probably step back from the show sometimes. Castiel just sliced open his arm to make the angel-banishing sigil in Lucifer Rising, and I sat here thinking, "One day I need to do that, because I need to see if it would really bleed that much that quickly."

Uh. Maybe not?

I may or may not have a reasonably accurate opinion that there's no way they're cutting deeply enough to get that much blood to well that quickly.

But I'm visualising Dean slicing his arm to attract vampires--I don't remember the speed Cas bled at.

I think the snark picture is from Bad Day at Black Rock, shortly before or after he says he's Batman.

Didn't he throw a remote control then? I'm having problems remembering him with two guns like that, but it's definitely a Bad Rock face.

He threw a remote, but also a pen, which jammed one of the guns aimed at him. I think maybe the guy fell, and the gun went flying and Dean caught it? I'd have to rewatch.

Cas pushed it maybe a quarter inch into his arm, and it dripped down over the side, really dark and thick, immediately. I always think it should be redder at first.

I have no idea why I'm thinking about it, either.

Pie:

One of my favorite moments in Lucifer Rising is when Dean bursts in. He and Sam don't even speak, but Dean has the knife out, and like they practiced it, Sam grabs Ruby so Dean can kill her. Just beautiful teamwork, completely unspoken.

For me it's the weapon toss in Hook Man. I mean, I need to GIF that, or something--throwing a knife to someone is such a royally bad idea, but when it works...why, it really works.

(I am also reminded of my favourite Spuffy moment, when Spike threw the knife to Buffy in the kitchen during the snotmonster from space episode--it was at a time where Riley wasn't as copacetic with fighting side by side with her, but Buffy had been nothing other than lethal the whole time Spike knew her, much less loved her.)

I'm pretty sure Ash put it in her Go To Work vid. I'm pretty sure I asked her to.

They also have a good moment as they come up to partner speed in It's A Terrible Life. Hell, just clearing a room together makes me kinda weak.
