Picspam: Supernatural 4x16

[emerald_embers]

Normally I don't do episode picspams, but really, with all the whumping and delicious torture and really funny mid-fight faces in this one meant I HAD to. Not too much plot to this picspam; mostly pretty-or-awesome-or-both gentlemen beating each other up. Oh, and unexpected awesomeness from the usually weak female characters

Castiel's stunt actor was... homely.

Hee. I thought stunt actors were supposed to have a facial resemblance too!

I honestly think Castiel's been a watcher up until very recently and they've pulled him up to do fighting

That's interesting, though, isn't it? He knows how to use a phone, but he didn't know what a handshake was. How much could he possibly have been watching? It's also pretty fab that he's not the baddest or most high-ranking of angels, but he still got assigned the #1 position in looking after Dean, the guy who's supposed to stop the apocalypse. They took the post away because they felt he was becoming too emotionally involved, but they just made Uriel his superior, they still didn't take him away from Dean! It feeds my personal canon that the act of pulling Dean from hell bonded them somehow.

Ahaha, but Sam is also a terrible fighter! Dean should do it. Aww, you know, I think that my progression into shipping Dean/Castiel more and more intensely has limited my ability to ship Sam/Castiel. With Uriel/Castiel and Alastair/Castiel, Dean/Castiel can kind of subtextually exist on the sidelines (or even textually, because uh, most of the time Alastair/Castiel isn't horribly... consensual), but Castiel sleeping with Sam pretty much prohibits him sleeping with Dean, and my shipper's brain throws up an automatic "Noooo!" It's sad, because I do like Sam/Castiel, akjsgdhjas :|

I'm sure it'll be worthwhile. &hearts

Hehe, I'm very pairing-flexible the majority of the time, so I can ship both Sam/Castiel and Dean/Castiel quite merrily ^^. Problem is with this latest episode, I honestly can't decide what I want to work on first XD. I want to do Alastair/Castiel creepy fic, and Uriel/Castiel messed-up-sort-of-affection fic, and Dean/Castiel total tragic heroes fic, and Sam/Castiel fic where Sam's hardcore awesome with his dark powers but not evil fic, and SDFAKSJFLASDFJLK THESE BUNNIES, THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME.

I love this show. It hurts me but I love it XD.

I think I need special parameters for Sam/Castiel now. Like, dark, fucked-up, totally unhealthy, Dean-is-dead angry!sex. Oh yes, that would work quite well for me.

Uriel/Castiel messed-up-sort-of-affection fic YES. I'm not gonna lie, I liked Uriel better as the epic asshole who was still completely loyal to his side, but I still love him, dammit. It's interesting to reevaluate Uriel/Castiel in the light of his betrayal. He wanted to convert him, he called him "Cas" - playing on his affection for Dean, I suppose. I used to think of Uriel as oddly protective and affectionate of Castiel, and I think I still do, only now there's a dash of dark resentment about Castiel's blindness and naivete and stupid, foolish love for humans, and the burning urge to bring him over to Uriel's side... I'm not sure if I like it better or worse than the original, but I like it.

...

ADD THAT TO THE TO-DO LIST BECAUSE I WANT IT LIKE BURNING.

Huh. You're gonna be doing very little but writing fic for a while, arentcha?

[emerald_embers]

Once my brain is back in order and I can concentrate instead of going sniff-sniff-SNORT on my cold, you betcha :).

I pretty much never stop writing; I love it, and I'm addicted to it. I'm just not posting at the moment anything more than one-sentence type deals on account of the fact I know anything I produce on a cold is rubbish (now a fever, on the other hand...)!
