I'm surprised there's much discussion about the song. I have no idea what Greatest American Hero is, but I'm familiar with the melody, and I knew that there were wing and prayer references coming up in the lyrics. If I were recently an angel, there's a decent chance I'd have remembered the words whenever it was I out-of-context heard them.

It's cute, it's apropos, and it doesn't require an act of Congress (or congress, as I'd first typed, but now I imagine him spooning and watching whatever it is (no need to explain, I'm not actually curious) with April) for him to gain the knowledge.

Pretty much what I'm thinking, despite the level of portent some viewers seem to be giving the song choice.

Lots of things keep popping into my head--Cas bloodied his hand and started drawing the sigil behind him and blind. That's kinda badassed, no?

How much does he still have in his noggin? Maybe he can read the stuff they gave Crowley? I know Dean decided he didn't want him involved, but did no one even bring it up to have it quashed?

Poor noodle. Poor noodly noodle.

This is how I went for Baby.

If you guys think it's inappropriate for me to post fanart here, just say--I won't be hurt. I figure it might be better suited to here than fanfic, but maybe there just isn't a place for it. I can see that.

Appropriate, as older engines do smoke, no matter how in tune you keep them. She's badass. I like her.

Also, yeah, SPN art should go here, I think. Weren't we told to keep all SPN fic, vids, and RP stuff here in thread? Possibly to avoid getting SPN cooties elsewhere? I may be misremembering.

I really like that, § ita §.

As for art going here, I say yes. Same for vids and other SPN fanworks, if the fic discussion resides here.

When it comes to SPN fic being kept here, a couple of years back, I made a peevish comment about keeping fic discussion out of the show thread while the show was airing. I won't say I got piled on, but people got justifiably emotional (bad memories of the Boxed Set embargo) and I got some comments and pushback that at the time made me feel like crawling into a hole and never coming out. The upshot was, many people felt strongly that their enjoyment of fic was a huge part of their enjoyment of the show, and that SPN fic discussion could overwhelm the fic thread the way SPN overwhelmed (according to some people) Boxed Set. So, keeping it all in-thread was more of a group decision. Not one I necessarily agree with, but one that I can understand and accept easily enough.

Anyhow, § ita §, assuming all things SPN stay here, any thought to the idea to opening up the fanfic thread to fanworks in general?

I like her, ita. Especially love the tats.

I'm happy to see anything SPN-related here, although I agree with Anne about the fanfic discussions a lot of the time. The really in-depth discussion of particular stories doesn't interest me because I don't read most of it, but that just comes down to skipping over it really.

I know it's not nice to laugh at people's parenting choices, but their mutual disbelief was hysterical.

That's always funny. As a non-parent. Other peoples' realities are strange to other strangers.

human Impala. Interesting that she's non-white in a lot of them.

Cause she's black. Also because a lot of humans aren't white. But my first impulse is that Baby is black, she just is. And wears silver jewelry.

(bad memories of the Boxed Set embargo)

I haven't been in that thread since. I just ... can't? Don't want to try? It was an unpleasant time, basically.

Yes, me too, Cass. I miss it sometimes, but not enough to push back against that feeling.

I'm sitting with Anne and Amy. Since I don't read the Dean/Castiel fics I find myself doing a lot of skimming.

Thanks for the compliments on the pic.

A few years ago, I think she'd have been whiter in more. I'm not complaining.

Isn't that, you know, the internet? I don't think there's a thread, especially a TV-related thread, that I read every discussion in. I don't expect to. I don't have every conversation in a room, even if everyone in it is my friend. I mean...I didn't know it was a thing, I just thought it was. Everywhere. Oh.
