Thank God for my flist: Supernatural
Although I don't post often, don't comment often and generally I'm still quite a lurker around livejournal, it's a blessing that I got here. How else would I start watching Supernatural, if not for people I follow? It would probably take me a long time to force myself to give it a shot, because shows with almost exclusevly male cast - not really my thing. I crave strong female characters and starting Buffy a year and half ago (wow, it feels like I loved the series for many years now, it became such a big part of my soul) cemented this preference of mine. So I didn't expect much of SPN, just another show with monsters and people who hunt them. Instead, it's growing to be one of my favourite series, despite its flaws - but then again, I've yet to find one without them. Falling in love with all the leads was surprising for me, especially considering they're inclusively male. I adore all four of them; Dean, Bobby, Castiel and Sam - in that order (although only Dean squarely holds first place - the remaining three tend to shift, depending on my mood). The relationships between them are deliciously complicated and yes, disfunctional, but don't we all love it this way? I surely do. The writing is quite consistently good and although I could do without all the meta jokes in later seasons, it doesn't go below certain standards. Even the weaker episodes have some interesing and clever bits included and they never made me want to fast-forward the series. I only wish I wasn't such a spoiler-lover so I wouldn't know half of the twists before I even started to really get sucked into the story. Well, some people will never learn. Nevertheless, I managed to be surprised on some occasions and for me it proves the quaility of the series.
As I'm getting progressively busy with my schoolwork and other real life stuff, I obviously started procrastinating. This resulted in a poster for 5x22 episode "Swan Song". I realize it is an unpopular opinion (as I learnt lurking around the fandom), but I loved this ep. As usual, I knew the outcome but even with that, some cheap and manipulative montage worked on me anyway and moved me to tears. I rarely cry during tv shows (movies are completely different matter altogether), the only other exception being BtVS' "The Body", which was quite extreme itself, as you all know. Making this poster I tried to avoid spoilers and just aimed towards achieving the mood. Bear in mind I'm not an expert in cg manipulations, and if I could, I would make something very different - minimalistic. Well, maybe next time - there might be a series of these someday, although not all of the episodes. Probably only my favourites, with possible inclusion of those I'll get a cool concept for.

Btw: is there something like 30 Days of Supernatural Meme? I'd love to do it! People could be waiting for the series to end, but it will take years and I lack the patience. (Hmm... I should do the Buffy meme first, I guess. Have to set my priorities straight)
