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.

Nothing has been shown, or said, to dispute this especially with the Matt Cohen portrayal.

Perzactly.

In my rereading I just noticed that the porn we see Sam watching in the episode whose name I've forgotten again is Casa Erotica IV. I guess they knock out those at a healthy rate.

OK, this is the pettiest of things to be annoyed by, but Dean saying "full on Babar" undercut that "I don't have any books about elephants" from before.

Maybe he went and researched Babar after Sam, Interrupted and there are now books on Babar in their trunk.

Or, more likely, he had read Babar, and that's where they got the name from and he was just lying.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

there are now books on Babar in their trunk.

Heh, elephant books in the trunk.

But the second is more likely. Clearly he's read books about elephants.

Is Babar popular in America? I'm out of touch.

Evidently we need fic of him reading Babar to Sam to get him to sleep.

I totally grew up reading them.

And when I donated to an elephant rescue thing for my dad for Christmas and got him a tiny stuffed elephant, I suggested that he could give the toy to one of the kids because it was really more representational. He replied that, no, he was not giving up Babar.

My experience is that Babar is familiar here. And awesome. Totally awesome.

I am considering accepting this explanation. It may do.

In my fanon, they totally get Dean's stuffed Babar out of the house in Lawrence, and he clings to it, but since they sleep together (grey canon), Sammy appropriates it and they eventually tell each other Babar stories.

Well, ok. That is too adorable to resist.

Now that that's out of the way; I was almost able to reconcile myself to the way the gods were portrayed by thinking that in the SPN-verse angels are assholes and God is kind of a jerk, so that the rest of the gods are also more bloodthirsty and venal than our universe's versions kind of makes sense. And maybe Lucifer gets extra power from all the demons that believe in him (I assume there are more now that he is roaming around than there used to be). But I have to work pretty hard at it and I'm not really convinced.
