this is a celebration of swagtastic entrances

[pocochina]

I saw this post on tumblr the other day and I was like "....yes, that is A swagtastic entrance, but not necessarily THE swagtastic entrance?" These are spoiler-cut by show, because sometimes you wanna be surprised by swagger. I limited this slightly by saying that (a) it had to be some sort of making an entrance or impression, either at or just

You make me choose between Castiel and Elijah, HOW DARE YOU.

Hmm, though, if we're actually trying to quantify swagtastic, I'd probably have to go with Jack Sparrow. That is almost the definition of swag. Or Spike running down the Sunnydale sign. IDK, though, Elijah has practically tradmarked nonchalant swagger by half his entrances being ripping hearts out.

Castiel has the most badass entrance of all time. Things explode and he gets shot and stabbed and never fucking blinks. But he's, like, above swagger. Partially because he moves like a robot of the Lord, lol. You really do get the sense that this totally isn't the skin he's used to moving in. Also, just because I love gifs:

OH yeah.

At some point, BTW, I'm going to write an overview of S8 (I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with my inlaws). Could you send me your thoughts on Dean and Sam? It annoys me that Dean keeps blaming Sam for losing his soul back in S6. It wasn't Sam's goddamn fault, and he was trying to act like "Sam" the best he knew how. Then when he got his soul back, he didn't remember a thing. How is that his fault?

Also, I disliked his treatment of Cas after they found him. Sam saying, "But it's Cas!" was exactly the heart of the matter. Hello! Dean! BRAINWASHED!Cas! It was Dean begging him and saying "I need you" that broke the spell. Jesus fuck, Dean, try to look at the other guy's POV for a change!

Not a derail at all, but just to be sure, are you asking me or goldenusagi?

Sorry, S6 was when I sort of lost interest in the show.

I go back and forth on this? But like....being so badass you don't have to consciously bother with swag has an inherent swag factor, methinks.

True. But at the same time, if Dean said something like "man, you've got swag" Castiel would be like "what is swag?"

Spike and Elijah would be like, damn right I do.

[pocochina]

WHAT IS SWAG. lol, I can hear it.

Elijah would be like 'I believe the terminology is 'fresh as fuck.'"

[goldenusagi]

Elijah knows he's hot shit. ("Thank you for having the good sense to be frightened." "You've heard of me." etc)
