Yeah I wasn't even thinking about hypocrisy. I'm just trying to figure out what makes a witch in the SPN verse. It can't just be knowing spells, because lots of people who are not witches know spells... So where is the line between "knows spells" and "witch"? Or is it one of those things that has never been explicitly defined?

Maybe being a witch is being able to do stuff like snap peoples necks with a hand guesture and the power of your mind? That it's not just getting the ingredients and saying the right words, but somehow harnessing power into yourself to use at will?

I don't think it's "being" a witch so much as actively joining a group of them that set these witches apart. They were part of a community.

Oh, people. It's not up to you if Cas comes back. Deal with it.

Drawing your power from a demonic source seems like a good place to start. But my point was that there doesn't have to be a consistent dividing line, since it would be entirely in character for Dean to judge other people's spellcasting more negatively than his own. The whole "partners with Crowley" thing underlined that a few times.

Seriously. I already typed out the "Does anyone have a link to where Misha said sincerely he wanted more work?" reply to a related tumblr post, but I did end up hitting cancel on that one. But, seriously--why is his employ their problem?

Then again, I refuse to believe the person who said it was sad that there were Dean fans and Cas fans, but so few Sam fans (or insert actors instead--it was blurry). That really has to be the result of isolating yourself in fandom. I refuse to believe that Sam (and Jared) has fewer fans than Cas, whether you count people who quit watching (aka the D/C or Casgirls who thought S6 ruined him and their ship) or just the current watchers.

I know they've done it before, but the volume of this [link] worries me.

I know! It's so many now, and it's the only season where they've done this.

Unless it's a weird callback to the show's history? Carver's way of honoring the seasons before his reign began?

Or they're just totally fucking with us. Which is entirely possible.

Apparently one or more of the writers has tweeted that tumblr should be informed that .19 and .20 are aMAzing. Which sets off another huge bout of worry. They're all a bunch of shits, and I don't trust their definitions.

Don't trust them at all. Why is TV fandom this peculiar Stockholm syndrome thing?

aMAzing

What the hell does that mean?

Okay, maybe we should send them lots of feathers...
