Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[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.

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

Not even remotely.

It's a damned shame, isn't it?

Well, almost never. Perhaps the reason is self-evident...

I thought that had been established as a 'shop job. No?

I don't really want to think about it. I am too delicate.

I've seen a photoshop-modified one, but I thought this was the less extreme original it was made from. Maybe two manip artists with different senses of what's believable worked on it in turn?

Man, I thought that summary said that Cas and Dean were in university together and Dean reads Cas' diary and then mans up--and starting the story it was clearly Cas in the asylum being watched by Meg. So I thought it was a Normal Again fic, with Cas as the ill person...and it just turns out I can't read, and it was just a small insert/deviation from canon.

But now I'm curious about the idea.

Is this [link] a photo? When I zoom in, the detail on his neck looks, for instance, a bit real--what is paleonut so adamant about copyrighting--is it a frame from a video that she¹'s the only one that captured and coloured (image search only finds the version with her tag)?

¹: fanperson gender shorthand

Because books.

It looks to me like she colored it, or did something to it. What a strange picture to choose.

I think it's hysterical, but if she didn't take the picture, or paint over it--what does copyrighting filters on a screen grab on someone else's footage even supposed to mean? There's transformative, and then there's work.

And, yeah, that last sentence doesn't actually mean anything.

I suppose there are painters that could do that realistic a job on skin texture, given weeks to work on the image. But in my experience, almost no one would think to do hair in different levels of focus to convey motion blur - the whipping strands would be as sharp as the still ones.

Maybe she took the picture. It looks like the Nerd HQ. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt since I haven't seen the full "official" footage.
