So by the time you're done, you've got a good sampling of Hollywood TV writers personalities?
Honestly? Nope. I think then you've got what just randomly made it to actual screen. But we call it "Sam" and "Dean" and totally adore them.
I do adore Dean and Sam but I think there's a lot of thinky backstory that never made it to the air waves. What airs is what airs. And that's, necessarily, more limited than canon.
Castiel was supposed to sing AC/DC Back to Hell (is that the right one???) to Tanya. That was have exploded some shippers. But what we got was charming. There are intentions, and there are ...well...I'll give you the more detailed statistics once I've loaded every transcript into Evernote. It's my saviour.
Yeah, I can't imagine it would have been Back in Black. Although that would have been funny.
Tweets from the Burbank convention. I can see that -- Dean has been the guy supporting his brother through all the blood-drinking, into-hell-jumping, trials for a while.
His storyline tends to be internal angst.
Dean's job is to be miserable (no one is ever comforting to him) and Sam is the best way to make him miserable, so Sam gets more things to do and more ways to be.
Highway to Hell?
Yes. says the AC/DC illiterate poster.
It would be great to see Sam saving Dean for a change, though.
Sam saves the world. Not Dean.
And I'm saying it would be interesting to change things up for a while.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
She's still doing it. I'm trying to work out the logistics:
Dean's knees were kept together, but parted an inch as Castiel's hands reached them...
I guess it's nice that I spend a more tactile moment with that sentence in the story, but I don't come away warm and pleased. A beta could just have put a "closer" in before together, if they didn't mind associating his knees with together at all...
Ah, well. I suppose I come at this from a more visual angle. If Gabriel is suddenly tall (she fixed that when I commented, despite having had intent at the the start), or Naomi's hair is red, it throws me way out of the related moments. And, jesus, don't call Dean's face symmetrical or Castiel's eyes beady. Some things are not true things. Some untrue things niggle at me.
