Me, too!
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Hannah Moskowitz, YA author and SPN fan (who just turned 22), just got this tattoo. ♥

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On one hand, I have envy of well-executed and thought out show tats.
On the other hand: DON'T DO THAT.
It's a precarious position, and comes with some whiplash.

I like that "the road so far" can mean so many different things, though.

True, but a show is a thing you can fall out of love with reasonably easily and through no device of your own. So I will always wonder if I'd want to take that with me into the future.
Also, I'm OCD enough to still see it in show font, even though she didn't make that choice. It's all on me.

I always figure someone who still loves the show enough in S8 to get a tattoo is probably always going to love it enough to remember fondly. I didn't like Buffy S7 very much, but I still adore the series and the characters, for example.
I probably would've done it in the show's font, too, but it's also not a tattoo I would get, despite how much I like it on her. She's 22 -- I'm assuming the idea is to look back later and remember this birthday, and everything she'd already accomplished, etc.
I'm not sure what tattoo I would get to honor the show, if any. It does feel, to me, almost bigger than my Buffy love, in terms of changing my life more dramatically.

The show indubitably looms large in my life, but as long as I'm not actually posting on Deanistas.org, Buffy has the edge. But those are both too external for me to tattoo, but clearly external is the point of other people's tats. But it's also in progress, and I've seen so many people revile what they loved because of things outside their control, and that's why I went with ancient Egyptian, because the ankh story has been entirely written.

I was a Buffy fan for a long time by myself. I didn't know there was fandom! By the time I did, the show was almost over.
SPN was when I really started to participate in fandom, I guess. Which makes it, for me, a little more important somehow.
Carver answers questions about Sam and Dean this season, and their arcs, etc. It's not spoilery about specifics, but I guess if you want to know nothing at all, stay away.

My issue with Sam's decision isn't that I wouldn't hope he'd act that way (although I wouldn't), it's that it didn't seem to make sense, and he did a poor job explaining it to my satisfaction. Not that Sam needs to do that, but the show does, and I found it weak and unconvincing.
