Mal ,'The Message'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Someone "liked" a random SPN off topic post I made on IO9 a year ago (Jilli, don't), and in the process of trying to find out if I'd made this image myself, I stumbled upon fashion inspired by the show. I do note at least one canon error, but I like the sense of whimsy with which she approaches the proposition.
I'm still not sure if I made that as the need arose or not, though.

Have I told you about how the Infamous BlueJay is trying to convince me to do a Victorian genderswapped version of Castiel for a convention?
You certainly haven't given a good reason for why you haven't done so! Period Castielle is all the rage!
In the annals of "Doesn't the show hurt you enough?": [link] It is lovely, though, but never a commitment I could make, even as I roll my eyes at the people who are still complaining about what season 6 forced them to feel. You haven't really quit the show if the wound is still raw.

Heh, really? We realized that I have everything I need for the costume except a khaki trench coat that is hourglass in shape and has full skirts. (Yes, even black feathered wings.)
Fanfic word usage pet peeves:
Rein/Reign, and Taut/Taunt (usually with regard to abs)
Taut/Taunt (usually with regard to abs)
I see "taught" way too often too.

Of course you do! I don't know if lettie/cafedelabielle started it or was really close to where the fire started...let me find her tumblr.
Okay, turns out that the girlcastiel tag has a decent amount of her art, unattributed. I understand that's very annoying. But the weirdest thing I saw at the tag was this [link] I think the bottom left image is a pretty distinctive niche.
Anyway...back to lettie...shit, this mural is mindblowing: [link] -- she's so talented, even if I don't care much for her subject matter/interpretation, she seems to be a bottomless fount of picture ideas and amazing execution.
But have you noticed she never seems to draw TFW as men? Even the "adult" pictures of them seem to be early 20s at the latest. Maybe she's like...that other artist whose name is escaping me...daggomus prime! who doesn't like drawing the characters looking like the actors, but still--dag drew men. It's weird wondering if that's how she sees (rather, saw, since she stopped watching a way back and now wants to stop drawing--copy pics if you want 'em, since she nuked most of her Batman stuff when she left that fandom) the show, or what she wants out of the show, or what. Fascinating.
Anyway, I can't find any of the pictures I was thinking of specifically, but this is cute: [link]
She's a brilliant artist, but her choice of Zoe Deschanel as the model for all her female Cas drawings was an insult there's no coming back from.
Deschanel seems to be the fandom's prime choice, and her kind of twee is pretty much right up Lettie's alley. way more than the show seems to be--I've never seen her celebrate anything core to the show--she's much more happy with Hogwarts' fusions or painting the angels as families with Castiel as the widdlest angel.
I'm not surprised she's fallen away from the show--I'm just surprised she was there long enough to generate so much content.
Don't get me wrong (weasel words prefix of champions)--I draw hugs and cuddles like it's no one's business. But I don't ever feel like I'm changing anything about the show other than putting a ship into it.
Then again, my dash is often peppered by people asking for all the dead characters to come back, and...regardless of which characters...doesn't that break the show? You want four, six, dead characters restored to life--how doesn't this elminate the sense of jeopardy? The show walks a really fine line with "well, what scares them, then, now that they've walked out of every afterlife?" Bringing back Gabriel and Balthazar and and and means that nothing is worth worrying about.
Sometimes good characters are good by virtue of their absence.
(I continually fear not just a return of Gabriel, but a defanging that doesn't correspond to the near arbitrary murderer he was when they first met--the petitioners already made him killing Dean into a generous and loving act that lays ground for shipping, rather than horrific mental and emotional abuse.
Ah, well.
Vise/vice is not like the others.
[link] (note the British indicator).
(I know this because vice is my normal way of spelling it, and vise feels as wrong to type to my fingers as gray. I have no idea why I grew up spelling it the British way, as it's one of the words that's the same in Canada as the US. See also, aluminium. It's probably Gram's fault. Aluminium is.)
So file it under kerb/curb in your head, and all will be well.

People don't pronounce them differently? I do, and I figure if an American wouldn't say it, most of your SPN characters aren't going to say it. It would still be wrong.
