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

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.

How is this not a recipe for disaster?

Until he meetsCastiel... a man once known as Lieutenant James Novak... the man who saved his life.

Why write what you know when you can just do no research?

What do you think Dean calls his pearl-handled Colt?

And...I'm not entirely sure, because I still have to do my details run of S7--he's still using it?

I don't know if Dean would have a name for a gun. I think Baby is the only thing he's named.

I don't know if he's still using it.

I hope that author is a teenager and not someone who should know better.

So you're saying he hasn't named his (or Castiel's) wang?
