Why yes, I have done this before.

I was going to post this whiny screed about how I'd really sort of like to go 24 hours, just one day, without being told that something I love is terrible, awful, unredeemably bad, etc, and how it makes me sad that apparently, to do that, I have to avoid fandom ( Read more... )

share the love

It's fannish NIRVANA for me the next month or two, are you kidding? New season of Deadliest Catch, and the rest of SPN season three! \o/ And renewal! Even PEOPLE WHO DISS WRITERS I LOVE cannot harsh THAT squee. Wheeeeee!

Your icon is making me seriously happy right now.

I wish I could make icons like that.

Also happy-making: Dean, saying "Thankee-sai." I CAN SEE IT. Really. I can see Dean there. It's harder with Sam -- there's something old in Dean that seems to speak of a world that is in the midst of moving on, and Sam is all newness.

I suppose Dean really is Cuthbert, more than anyone, but there is a lot of Roland in him, too. Potentially. There is so much honor imbedded in Dean, how to say? Wouldn't that be a hell of a crossover? Dean and Sam, raised as Roland was? John would have fit right in.

Man, that just made me shiver. Am I nuts? It just...yeah.

*flails* All of this. Yeah, Dean is more Cuthbert/Eddie (and actually, Sam is a bit Alain, oooooh), and yeah, as fusion-fic, it has serious potential.

There really is no TRUE Roland in the current SPN ka-tet, I don't suppose, except John. John was sufficiently Machiavellian. (Don't get me wrong, I want to MEET Roland, I love him so hard and fiercely, but he is -- well, you KNOW. ::tears at hair::)

I want to say Dean is far more Cuthbert than Eddie, if only because I think in important ways Dean is stronger in most of Eddie's weak spots. And Sam is Alain-ish, but more Susannah, don't you think?

This is NOT getting my kitchen cleaned. But I cannot resist.

*nods* Well, and Dean had a younger brother instead of an older. Dean...hmn. Dean is what Eddie Toren might have been if you add some tragic happenstance. (Someday, I want to read about Eddie and Jake Toren and Susannah-whatever-her-name-is-in-that-world.)

And now that I think on it, Sam is halfway between Susannah and Jake.

YES. He is.

I think it's time for me to do another reread. ::firm nod::

You know what other crossover I'd love? Talisman. I would like for Sam -- whose Twinner died in the fire -- to cross over and meet Dean's Twinner. And have adventures.
