Fannishly, something happened to me in the last six months - I fell hard for Supernatural and especially for Destiel.

Now, I always liked it but it’s been a slow build from S4 when Kripke was showrunner and Castiel appeared as an angel with a haughty attitude towards humans. And the show and this ship remained on my backburner where it already was

My issues with Meg is that I still remember when she possessed Sam and sexually threatened Jo. So even if there weren’t any consent issues with Castiel as a mental patient, I still couldn’t get past that. However, my big issue with how she died is that the writers thought that her crowning moment of glory would be as a love interest when no, that’s not how you send off villains or even dubious characters in a blaze of fire. You send them off with redemption and sympathy by doing something so gloriously evil to further the protagonists’ interests.

As for sexism and homophobia, I thought Smallville fandom hardened me for it but, SPN fandom brought a whole new level of wank. Oh well. I actually got into SPN in S2 because I bought S1 DVDs on sale. And I almost wasn’t going to because I’m very meh on horror but everyone kept telling me it's all about the brothers.

Someone told me: You know how christians look at paganism and think, “Oooh, what a cool religion with pretty symbols that we can screw up and appropriate”? That’s how the japanese view christianity. And the show does move towards japanese levels of wtf-ery with christianity, but I sometimes wish it’d go a little but further. KWIM?

SPN femslash, hm. I dunno. This show horribly fails the Bechdel test because it rarely has women let alone two women together. Lois/Tess is my femslash otp if only because of all the screentime they got together on Smallville fighting against and for each other. Anyways. I would love if Ellen and Jody got together in an AU for the combo of no-nonsense women.
