Handmaiden. . . hee.

That was the best episode possibly ever. Just 100% pure joy.

Apparently someone tweeted at Jim MIchaels that it would be cool if Charlie got a bisexual vibe off of Dean, and apparently he replied that she got some sort off him?

I don't think that's a spoiler, because I don't think it's true, or even relevant to the episode or either character, seriously.

I think I know what moment JM meant, actually, and it's debatable, but definitely possible.

Well, she kind of implied without knowing that his breakup with Bennie was a romantic one. Which I don't believe to be the case, but you can be down in the dumps over having to cut ties with a platonic friend too.

Yeah, Charlie wouldn't have gotten a bisexual vibe from him, but it was a wink at the audience, since she meant breakup the way Dean meant Sam breaking up with Amelia.

I'm still giddy about how much Dean got off on LARPing.

THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME.

Like, I don't actually need more fun than that this year, and we didn't lose any recurring characters--win win!

Dean is clearly my soulmate, it's never been more obvious than now. And, yeah, if you ship Denny, you totally got a shoutout. I'm pretty sure the excited tweeter was Destiel, so oops, bitches.

I found that pretty sweet, not harmful to any characters, BOYS LOOKED HOT, Dean was adorable, Sam was grieving (though, seriously--I'm not gonna judge a rebound fuck--GET SOME SOON).

Those of us on the DeanIsTheGeek Train are very hand-clappy right now. Battle planning for the win.

Incidentally, I have a really-you're-straight?? male friend who keeps sleeping with lesbians. I gay shipped Dean with Charlie in a not-eradicating way for 1 orgasm each.

Yeah, not gonna write that fic or draw that picture...

The very end was so excellent. Also, I can see many outtakes from that ending up on the gag reel.

And, yeah, if you ship Denny, you totally got a shoutout.

Dean's no to the question of a breakup was a little less than adamant. There was something else mixed in.

Weirdly, I do ship Denny, although I hate calling it that. I still love Dean/Cas, but Dean/Benny has a real appeal for me. They have a sort of equality as brothers in arms that Dean/Cas (although the weird power dynamic they have going on is gorgeous) can't have.

This episode is so quotable, it could go down in history.

I have not seen this many animated GIFsets go up this quickly since I started tumblring. I'm glad that I download and don't wait until nine. More alert, no ads, more time to peruse fanwork--including fanart.

I noticed some people were taking Destiel away from the Denny line (I AM THE BACKLASH QUEEN RE: PORTMANTEAUS--THE MORE YOU HATE, THE MORE I LOVE), and it goes to show--you bring your own lenses to the show--they thought Cas blinking out was more significant than Dean calling someone and saying "We can't be a we anymore."

Adorable.

And crazy--also crazy. Then again, I saw a fanart of Sam painting Dean's face red tagged Wincest, so you know. Lenses.

I don't ship Dean and Benny--I like Benny more and more as the episodes pass, but he was also becoming more and more alone and tragic. And I only have one alternative Purgatory narrative, which could accommodate FWB, but not much more than that. I haven't read any Dean/Benny that I found interesting, and only one Dean/Benny/Castiel that got me.

Quotable--Charlie is your girl. I mean, seriously--Notting Hill, right? Am I sourcing that right? I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff.

(Oh, in my head, Felicia bristled at using decimated that way, since it was more like a 1 in 5 elimination, but also in my head scaramouche didn't say "another thing coming" in that fic I didn't find hot for other reasons...I got my lenses too)

"I'm just an IT girl, standing in front of a monster ..."

Yeah, Notting Hill. That made me so happy.

BOYS LOOKED HOT

NEEDED TO BE SAID AGAIN

I... I...

I am having trouble breathing. You know when the laugh is just kind of a pant, because you can't quite believe what you saw?

It doesn't help that regularly watch Joel McHale doing Braveheart!William Wallace on YouTube (it's a nostalgia thing, he's a local boy, I can't explain), and so even before the FUCKING DEDICATION, I was rolling from OUR FREEDOM!
