OMG, just saw a Jensen Ackles doppelganger in the grocery. He was in line in front of me, in jeans and a t-shirt (and flip-flops, but whatever.)
I did a discreet hard-stare triple-take. It was truly an remarkable resemblance.
ita !, in teaching, I've seen short afros, short to shoulder-length dreads, and the most awesome short, steel-grey twists on an older administrative higher up.
I don't think dreads are conservative enough for Uriel's host for some reason. I'm thinking of going with one of those afros that's short in the back and long on top (this just came across my dash: [link] I don't know if I have it in me to make twists look different from braids from dreads, really. And I want to be natural, but conservative.
Good lord, can it be next month already? Or even next week? My discs are to arrive Friday. Maybe that will stop me from hate-reading shit like this:
“How could you do this to our son, John? I feel as if I don’t know you.” Mary walked away from him. Sam held her. He glared daggers at his father. Jessica sat with Gabriel. The host was sickened by John’s hatred towards gay people.
Dean stood nose to nose with his father. “I hate you and I never want to see you again. You have ruined several peoples’ lives not only mine. I gave up the love of my life believing you were going to die. Guess what dad? From now on you’re dead to me. You can take the crown and shove it where the sun don’t shine because I don’t want it. I’m leaving Liechtenstein and never coming back.”
John grabbed his oldest son’s arm. “You ungrateful runt!” Dean turned and punched John’s right eye.
Everyone in the chapel including the priest left. John remained stunned lying on the aisle. He cursed Rebecca, the chauffeur and the American, who would always lay a claim to Dean’s heart.
I clearly can't control myself...
This is my initial Uriel(f) design: [link]
That looks good, ita ! I can't draw a straight line, so I can see how drawing dreads and twists would be hard.
re: fanfic sample -- I honestly can't get past the shitastic, stilted sentences to get to the characterization. It's...painful.
Wow, the last moment of that is worrisome.
I'm glad the the idea that the angels would
fall with powers
didn't occur to many people. More relaxing summer that way, given what we know we know.
Wow, the last moment of that is worrisome.
But also
oh Death is back
!
Eight years ago today, The Woman in White aired on the WB. Nobody thought it would last!
That's a lot of meta discussion, fic, and vids under the bridge. I look back now and go, who are those guys? And then, I miss those guys. Hell, I miss *me* eight years ago.
Happy Anniversary, Show!
My discs arrived today. Order of actions:
- tear open the packaging
- rub them on my body
- bemoan that it's the same photo shoot as the S7 cover
- plan SATURDAY
Check!
Then I went back to a fic I had been enjoying. A page came across tumblr that advised writers to skip telling the audience stuff they already know. So, you know, in the real life AU you're wasting time using the phrase "psychic powers" about Missouri, and having Dean imagining fangs on Benny outside of a shroom trip (hell, even in it) is wasted time on both our parts--STOP AT PHLEBOTOMIST. That's just cute enough for your hospital AU.
