Screw writing realistically.
So, my big bang partly involved a mixed-bag colony of ex-slaves on mirror 'verse-Earth who have high-tailed it to this area with a fenced-in "neighborhood" which is mentioned at one point to have once been an amusement park. Of course flowrs4ophelia attempted to convince me to at least throw in an old rusty ferris wheel or something. And I was like, "Yeah, if there were old rides there it would be badass-creepy, but I just don't imagine it's realistic for that stuff to still be there."
Well, imagine my regret, because it's apparently somewhat common for bankrupt theme parks to go derelict. I had seen pictures of a place like this in Africa (close to Pemba, in fact) but it seemed like a very small park. I hadn't imagined there were much bigger actual theme parks that were abandoned without being taken down.
As if I couldn't have played fast and loose anyway. You know, it's a universe in the future? An alternate universe in the future? And it's FANFIC?
*shakes head at self* NOT TO MENTION there is already that motif going on, with some much earlier comparisons to a funhouse, and that one about a roller coaster...Not that people notice things like that.
I've been enjoying only half-paying attention to some episodes of Supernatural when my sister is actually watching them on TV instead of on her laptop. When she first sat down to watch them I kept saying, "His voice sounds exactly like Brad Pitt." So of course she had to show me when the seven deadly sins thing comes up and Dean is like "LOL What's in the box?!?"
I've been expressing this on Tumblr but not yet here, that I have this instinct that I'm going to ship the hell out of Cas/Dean even though I haven't properly started watching Supernatural yet. And I don't ship based on looks. Just...they seem pretty adorable.
