I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, AO3 actually hosts content, delicious just links to it. So you can use delicious to store bookmarks to anything, but AO3 is dedicated to hosting fanworks. Currently fanfic, but I understand it's to expand to fanart and vids.

I like the AO3 functionality and mission, but the interface is a bear.

Okay, clearly I have comprehension issues and missed the archive functionality despite the name.

It kills me that there's all this fic out there on LJ and it's so hard to get to. I have about a million SPN related communities open in windows or tagged in delicious (not friended, because I don't use my friendslist that way) and authors don't tag their stuff or use memories or post to AO3 for reasons that escape me...I just wanna read! Help me!

::sigh::

But this way, the reading period lasts longer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Why why do they insist on the layers and the long sleeves all the time?

In the commentary for IMToD, Jared remarks that it was the most comfortable Jensen had been for any ep, wearing just scrubs and a teeshirt. So I don't think it's actor choice.

When the series started, the slightly oversized leather jacket, and later the layers, were a way to bulk Jensen up onscreen to appear more physically imposing as the elder brother. In his twenties he was quite slender, despite the shoulders, and they wanted to give the impression he was a little massier. Much the same way Jared's hair was combed and laquered down over his forehead in S1 to lend a childish quality to his face and make him seem younger and more vulnerable.

Worked, in both cases, pretty much. I know lots of people were surprised at how *not* fireplug chunky JA was out of Dean's clothes, and at how lantern-jawed rawboned mature Jared suddenly seemed when they parted his bangs and got them off his face.

Well, the ship has sailed on making anyone not look small next to Jared, so they might as well strip JA down.

It makes me laugh every time JP inhales deeply (or huffs, as the fics would have it), because it looks like his pecs become horizontal. And his shoulders look like they're being squeezed by my TV. And I have a large TV. Insane.

Because books.

Well, yeah. He went to work in his jammies for a week.

I don't care why they did it, but I think they were wrong. JA's musculature is much more noticeable without the layers. And I would like to see more of it, please.

How about the leather jacket over a t-shirt. Or a henley. And he can take the jacket off a lot. But I like the jacket.

Why did I try and google for those pieces of clothing? I should have known I had them myself.

Did you say something?

(The t-shirt picture did me in.)

I do love the jacket. And I LOVE him in a henley. (And I love the gold hair on his forearm in that shot.)

But the t-shirt picture. Jesus, the guns are frigging HUGE.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What ep is the t-shirt shot from? I'm curious about the shadows in the background.

It's not a scene, it's him prepping for a scene. I never managed to find out the provenance, but that's crew in the background.
