Kind of hard to envision some of the things she describes
The position Cas put Dean in took some thought to imagine, yeah. Great fic, though. And the Sam aside was brilliant.

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

Yeah, there's not much room for him in a story that's that much about how Dean and Cas have sex, and what it means to them, but it was a great dash of humour into the story, and well-timed, considering.
Her Cas is totally not my Cas, but she sold him well, and I'm good with him in this story, espacially inasmuch as it gets us inside Dean's head, because that is kind of my Dean, and that's who I was drawing when I tied him up too.

Aha! I'm watching teeny bits of a brouhaha that I have no idea how big it really is.
Apparently some fans worked out where Jared was going to be, and showed up avec video cameras to take huggy pictures with him, and he didn't want to be touched or recorded (although it does seem he posed for a still, but he didn't want to be touched). Seems he said something about being paid for this, which does sound douchey, but everything else sounds perfectly leave-the-complete-stranger-alone, the-intimacy-you-feel-is-only-in-your-head reasonable. Sometimes you're going to get lucky, sometimes you're going to get a guy who doesn't want to do this right now. Or ever in his personal time.
(I have to say--looking up to Jared literally is pretty much inevitable. Looking up to him metaphorically--he's a funny good looking guy who's a pretty good actor, and seems really bright...he's not really paragonning about, you know?
Anyway, the person saying that Jared has no right to not want to be touched by someone much smaller than him because he's a continual sexual harasser in the workplace...maybe she doesn't have any friends to take liberties with, and she's never heard of liberties being taken with mutual boundaries allowing it...sometimes it's okay to touch someone else's junk. Third parties don't actually make that call so much when consensual adults are involved. He's not anyone's teacher or boss (well, unless he's fondling the PAs or Clif...grody).
Still--calling people a hypocrite because they give him a pass on putting his foot in Misha's groin...yeah.
God, I've been up since midnight...

I just saw something on Tumblr about Jared, Jensen, and Misha wrestling in one of their hotel rooms in Toronto, and how Jared and Misha each have a cracked rib (?!) and Jensen showed up to work with half his forehead missing and rug burns on his chin or something.
So maybe that's why Jared doesn't want to be touched? Not that he has to want to without broken ribs, of course.
I continue to think it's bizarre that these uber fans who love him also think he's legitimately a sexual harasser.

I have a feeling some of them didn't mind since they thought of it as cute sexual harrassment until he shattered their dreams by not being BFF with them when stalked.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Anyway, the person saying that Jared has no right to not want to be touched by someone much smaller than him because he's a continual sexual harasser in the workplace...
That is coming scarily, scarily close to "well, she put out for him, so she has no right to say no to me." What is wrong with these people?

Jared stopped monkey dancing for their amusement, and dared react negatively to the suggestion that he should, at any given moment.
He needs to know his place. Who does he think he is?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
There's a convention contract which prohibits "guests" (stars) from allowing pictures to be taken that are not arranged and paid for through the con. That's what the douchey "they pay me to take pictures" comment was about. They are contractually prevented from giving photo ops for free while they are present on con time and money.
Nobody should be obligated to explain contractual obligations to strangers while trying to get one's family and luggage from one place to the next.

That's really obnoxious of "fans". What is wrong with people?
Yeah, on Saturday Misha told a story about wrestling in a hotel room and at the breakfast and at the Js Q&A the boys called it "fight training".
(One of my friends had a couple of the photo ops with the Js and Misha and for one of them she had them re-enact the instigation of the "fight training" for the camera to hilarious effect. We all told her that she should get it signed next time around.)

In only tangential Show related news - the 2 year old colt named Kripke won his race yesterday. This was his 4th start and 1st win.
