So can I say how happy I am about how the Sassy Meme turned out? :D YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME AND EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED GETS EXTRA LOVE FROM ME. I'm almost done with all the pictures I promised - I hand-drew them so I need to do the whole resize and scan deal. I'll post those at
sassy_otp. Seriously, I'm happy because I have never hosted a meme before, much less one in a fandom that I've only been present in for...three weeks? Yeah, about three weeks. I'm so glad I'm involved in the part of the fandom that is amazing and makes great things and doesn't wank.
SO SO THE EPISODE LET ME TALK ABOUT THAT.
I really enjoyed watching it, let me say that. Like, drunk Castiel stumbling in, pretty much everything he said was hilarious. The cell phone part. ALL THE SASSY. The older, crazy hot preacher in jeans. Dean saying 'Padre' because I have a weakness for that. Sam's hair. I COULD TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS FOR AGES.
Let's get in depth. I do agree, although drunk Cas is hilarious, it also makes me incredibly sad. I did not like The End. Future!Cas is funny with his orgies and pot-smoking (and he seems like he would be amazing to chill with) but part of the reason I love Castiel is because he is the straight man in the group. Sam and Dean are always freaking the fuck out about something and Cas is there like, "lol whatever we need to do this shit so stop freaking out because we have to get things done." I like him because he's not human. Although him getting drunk for one episode was fun, I really would not like to see it happen all the time. When it starts happening constantly, that's a sign that the novelty has worn off and something is really wrong with my blue-eyed baby. It makes me worried about the direction they're talking this character, and I'm not liking the path here. (But every once in a while, yes, let him get drunk because that was priceless.)
Seriously, seriously, Dean, this episode you made me want to shoot something. I don't know, for me it's usually Sam that I'm yelling at my screen at because the boy does some really stupid shit (see: demon blood). Usually it's Dean that I'm behind, and I sympathize with him more. In my family, I am the older daughter that does what she's told and my younger brother is the one to clash heads. So, naturally, I side with Dean because his position mirrors mine. But now Dean is being a fuckhead and going out into the crazy-ass town at night after curfew and running off recklessly and I wanted to slap him most of the time. Not saying that Dean running off without telling Sam where he was going wasn't a predictable thing, I'm just saying I wanted to tear my hair out. Also it did not surprise me when he hit on Leah but why don't you show a little concern for Chuck sometimes? I mean, Chuck is a real prophet telling your stories who needs to drown himself in booze to get to sleep. D: POOR CHUCK.
I am actually a huge fan of the stories where it's paranoia that's the problem, not the actual monsters. Like...The Mist. Say what you want, but that movie did a great job of showing how ugly people can get. There were monsters in that movie, but what was really gut-wrenching was the ones inside the store. This plot reminded me of that movie. Closed off little town, religion is the only thing really keeping everyone together, and eventually--with the right buttons pushed--they start tearing each other apart. Although, I have to admit, I was mostly pissed off because I felt there should have been more people in the town to doubt Leah. Girl was SUPER SKETCH. I know, I know - she was right about the demons, she was right about everything, no one would have doubted her after a while. But honestly, killing people? I wanted to see a couple of people be like, "Um, battle royale? You crazy, bitch?" I guess when you finally are about to kill children that's the line for people. Except for the preacher (and that one dark-haired dude) I really didn't have any kind of sympathy for the townspeople whatsoever.
Liiiiiiiiiiisa. Honestly, honestly, what were they thinking? Let us bring back someone who hasn't been seen for basically two seasons so Dean can have heartfelt talks with someone he hasn't seen in TWO YEARS. Really? Really? Going back, watching 3x02, I don't hate Leah. It just makes me angry because I feel she was used as a plot device to get Dean to be like, "OH JESUS THE END IS COMING WATCH YOUR SHIT I AM DEPRESSED AND THE WEIGHT OF THE WOOOOOORLD ON MY SHOULDERS." Sure, Dean might dream of a life with a wife and kid, he might even wish and want it, but he knows for a fact he damn sure isn't going to get it. Especially not right now, not with bigger fish to fry. Would he understand that seeing Lisa and telling her this would only hurt her and if so, why would he want to hurt someone he loves? I understand that after he's been stalking her ("you've moved"? wtf dean even if you weren't stalking her that shit is creepy to say) he obviously cares about her and needs to see someone like her in his time of need, but to dump all that shit on her? Yes, I also understand he needs to get it out but he's a goddamn Winchester and she knew him for like, a week. (Related: I think Dean would make a great dad. Honestly, I think he would make an AWESOME dad.) I just think Dean would take his own advice, this isn't his life. Never will be. I get why that scene is there and why they used Lisa but I don't really like it.
I AM REALLY EXCITED FOR THE NEXT FEW EPISODES BUT THE PREVIEW SCARED ME BECAUSE CAS LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN TROUBLE AND I ALWAYS WANT TO PUNCH ZACHARIAH IN THE FACE. D: BRING ME MORE GABE PLZ.
It looks like Sherlock Holmes is going to be the one to start out the seven-week fanart fandom week! Then it's a tie between Doctor Who and fairy tales. If you haven't answered the poll,
GO HERE AND CHECK IT OUT. Like I said, I need all the input I can get.
Tonight is work again and then the party and I'm super excited!
