What about Teen Dean/Plastiel? [link]

Amy, I swear I *just* read that same fic. If it's the same one, I was on the fence about it myself. I liked the intent more than the execution.

I've watched the clips a million times (I may go back for more), I've gotten spoiled unwillingly, I've reread summaries of the past two weeks and I'm totally aflutter for tomorrow.

Teen Dean/Plastiel helps take the edge off, though.

Nightswimming, right? There were some good lines and nice imagery, but it could have been so much better.

Also, I'm watching bits of Ten Inch Hero now, and I feel compelled to mention that I remembered I did have some problems with the end. It's a sweet little movie with good intentions, but one plot point was wrapped up all wrong for me. So.

::goes back to look::

Yeah...Nightswimming. I was actually distracted by the cruelty to the cellphones. Just tell the truth. Not an American English writer.

I read all of oxoniensis's (eta: non 'cest) work. Shame she fell out of love with the show--I'd like have seen her work with the canon we've had since she stopped writing.

I also found an interesting conversation about the difference between misogyny and sexism and how and where they may nor apply to Show. Points are made about can you achieve feminism by letting your men cry and be scared and experience the trappings of feminine characters, as well having women around that do what they do not because of the boys, and some of them even win.

And, oh, they die. Some with agency, some as the monster, some win as they die as the agent. Some manage to stay very present in the story despite being dead.

Carefully noted that Show listens too much to the Off With Her Head Brigades that rise up, but you still ended up with a Bela who didn't care about the Boys except for how they could help her, or Ruby who was playing them to end the world, or Ellen and Jo who were trying to help save the world.

Dean's got his issues, he's got a trailer-load. But it's not the same thing, and I don't think it's inherently damaging.

Horror movie tropes gives us a few more women in peril and women in white, but they're not usually knights in white armour plowing grateful damsels.

I read much of that conversation. It was interesting.

I've also resisted watching any clips, and just the non-white fonted stuff has me feeling like Amy regarding tomorrow's episode. I want someone to hold me hand.

I am SuziQ.

Variety published some articles in conjunction with the 100th episode:

'Supernatural' Actors See Big Picture
"Supernatural's' Devilish Evolution

Keep clicking on the "Read Next Article" links or the links in the box on the right.

Variety wouldn't let me read all of those. I have them in text form (gotten by nefarious means), and I can post them if anybody wants to read them and is thwarted.

Thanks for those, Morgana. I think I managed to read them all.

Okay, people, I need to stop watching the web clips. They're still tearing me up. I cannot wait for tonight, dammit.

Are those Variety items spoilery?

I cannot wait for tonight, dammit.

WHEEEEE

Are we going to try a chat?
