Rant: Things that my TV shows won't give me :(
Since I need to figure something out for the "I Love My Ship" challenge at , I surfed around Tumblr and Livejournal to find some Dean/Castiel stuff, and I realized I am actually mourning over the two of them. I don't know if they'll figure something out to do about the God!Castiel thing on the show, but I am pretty sure that Dean and Castiel will never go back to the way they were. And it's one thing to know that your OTP (probably of all time up to now) will never really become canon, but an entirely different one to know that their relationship is probably destroyed forever. It's what happened with Sam and Dean, and now MY ship is ruined. So I'm starting to get why some of the Wincest shippers stopped watching SPN. (I probably won't, as long as the show doesn't get boring or annoying. Those are the killers for me. But so far, neither of those things has happened, so...) Well, I still have fanfiction. (And there are SO many great Destiel fanfics out there, which is a relief. Maybe I'm going to make a rec post one day.)
Okay, I don't want to be all whiny. (Even though thinking about that just made me realize that I also feel a bit pessimistic about Dexter - given that I loved Rita and they killed her, and I loved Lumen even more and they made her leave... but okay, I'm not as emotionally attached to Dexter as I am to Supernatural, so I'll be able to handle that... wow, that sounded creepy, too.) But since I'm already ranting now, let me get one final thing off my chest: I'm NOT content with the Leverage fanfics out there. I want some Parker/Hardison! Pardison! Pretzels! With a bit of fluff, but not gen (if I want to see the two of them NOT kissing I can watch the show, thanks :P And given the number of Nate and Sophie scenes they're showing, as in none, even though the two of them are supposed to be sleeping together - not that I even ship them - I'm not getting my hopes up for that...), but all I can find are threesomes with Eliot. I would give that a try once my shipper's heart is satisfied with Parker/Hardison material, but now it just frustrates me that nobody wants to write just the two of them. (Are they too obvious a pairing to be interesting for writers?) Also, the few pieces I found are ficlets or oneshots, which I'm usually not really into. If you can rec anything, please!! (I just realized that I could google for a Leverage Big Bang... I'm pretty sure there must be one...)
So now let's try again with positive thoughts. xD After a short TV show pause, my brother and I couldn't take it anymore and started watching two new shows, which I both really like. First Castle, since a lot of people over at fandomverse seemed to be watching that, and it's cool! Not one of those shows I'm going to obsess about, but really funny and with badass characters. And I spent the first episode wondering where I knew the Castle actor, and if it wasn't for IMDB, I would have NEVER found out that he was Captain Hammer. Seriously. I've seen Dr. Horrible about three times. And one episode later, I instantly recognized that girl who was in Supernatural once as a side character, not just in a "Huh, I know her somewhere", but I even knew what episode she appeared in. Isn't that weird? :D
Then we pondered what else we could watch, and I suggested Cougar Town, since Abed in Community is a total fan of that show. I didn't expect much to be honest, and then I was really positively surprised because it was one of the funniest pilots I've seen in a while. And I love the lack of cheesyness. Even though that's okay in other shows every once in a while, it's nice to see a show which can do without that.
So when we're done with those two shows, we have Reaper (which I'm not so sure about, but we'll see) and Veronica Mars (which my brother's not so keen on and I'm a bit worried because it's a cancelled show, so it's bound to have lose ends) on the line.
