Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Because books.

Seriously? I didn't know that.

I hated When Harry Met Sally.

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

Yerp! They mentioned it in interviews or cons or summat.

OMG, I love When Harry Met Sally. It was probably the first and last time I liked Meg Ryan in anything, and I liked it a lot. It was (literally) on repeat in the background in many of my Montreal memories.

Oh, and demons clearly pop into and out of the area in just those episodes. I don't think it's an if, or reserved for crossroad demons. Alistair does it, and maybe Lilith. She seemed like she popped in, but then she smoked out. Less smitable that way? Abandoning the face they know her by?

Oh. man. I'm gonna have to mourn a little: [link]

Sometimes this stuff is a hoax, right?

If it's true: Well, fuck you very much Jeremy Carver. This would never have happened on Sera's watch. She knows what's key to show. What next? Baby's first racing stripe? Spoiler?

I'm still reading the world's longest Scientology article, and now I want to put together two recruiting photosets. One for Heaven, and one for hell. If I were any good, it'd be a vid, but a captioned photoset would be fine enough.

I've only really been thinking angels so far:

  • "It's like being strapped to a comet" Jimmy Novak
  • "Yes" Claire Novak
  • Lots of humour in the garrison, assures Castiel (over picture of Uriel)
  • Something about never having to worry about calories (shots of Castiel eating and drinking)
  • Doing it for the babes--Balty menage-a-douze or Gabriel's...well, his anything

How else you you recruit for a vessel?

"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

That shot from "The Third Man" where Cas jumps out a window, plunges several stories to squash a car, and then gets up unhurt?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Daw, misachan's BB was actually really good. Some nice mapping, whump that was actually not borne out of homophobia, and a fresh look at D/C highschool AUs. And John wasn't an asshole.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm rewatching bits of Shadow, and I noted two things, when John recalls that he and Sam had "one hell of a fight" the last time they saw each other, John doesn't apologize for that, for how they left things. The other thing was that, they so got lucky castin JDM as John. If they'd had anyone else who was unable to convey the warmth and love that JDM does, we'd all be Sir-haters.

Okay, so maybe I am reading it wrongly--TV Guide and sumi think Crowley sent Dean to Purgatory. Am I in the minority not thinking he did any sending? Where does that come from?

Because books.

Maybe the implication is that he *knew* the Dick-killing stick would send someone who used it there? Otherwise, I'm with you -- the way he explained in the episode made it sound like an unexpected side effect.
