check out my sexy bed; 5x13

[wanttobeatree]

DEAR INTERNET, today I bought myself a seriously goofy duvet cover. If Argos didn't make the children-oriented covers that much cheaper than the plain covers, then they would not have forced me into this situation!

I... am rather okay with the situation they have forced me into. My duvet is covered in cheerful and brightly coloured MONSTERS.



I CAN SENSE YOUR JEALOUSY THROUGH THE MONITOR.

BELATED EPISODE RESPONSE IS BELATED.


I am not as hopelessly in love with this episode as everyone else in fandom seems to be. DOWNER OPENING. Which is to say, I really really liked it yaaaaay! But it would take a truly incredible episode to beat Mystery Spot to the number one spot in my heart (and then there is Nightshifter, and Born Under a Bad Sign, and Skin to consider.) It’s probably somewhere in the top ten though, and it could have the potential to worm its way into spot number five but I would have to MULL IT ALL OVER VERY HARD.

Ranking episodes: it’s serious business.

So anyway, 5x13! What a lark!

• Shallow things first: goddamn was Dean looking fine in the opening shot. I mean, rawr. I would be a sexy dream stripper for him any day, if he looked like that always. Despite my epic love for Jensen Ackles, there are times when I do not find Dean especially attractive. These times are usually when he is pulling his frowny, squinty batman faces or when he’s crying. I’m sorry, Dean, but that’s just the way it is. PLEASE STARE SEXILY INTO THE CAMERA MORE OFTEN.
  
  
• D’awww Castiel thinks Sam is his ~friend~. It is cute but it didn’t really make much sense, considering the last time they really interacted was in Good Omens the Littlest Antichrist episode, in which Castiel was all SAM YO MOMMA SO FAT and Sam clicked his fingers and waggled his head and went NUHUH GURLFRIEND.
  
  … or was that only in my episode?
  
  Anyway, you know what I mean. They were not on the best of terms, by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps now they are Officially Friends, they will actually - yknow - interact with each other and we’ll be able to see it? Although I didn’t realise Castiel and Dean were meant to be friends until like 4x18, so what do I know about the ways of Castiel’s friendship?
  
  
• So Castiel still has the angel-killing knife. FFFF why has nobody eyed the knife up and thought to themselves ‘hey Lucifer is an angel, this could work’? Why hasn’t CASTIEL thought of it? Whyyyyy.
  
  
• Although that said, Michael’s Big Speech has seriously cemented my belief that Lucifer is going to be “defeated” by Michael forgiving him. If someone in TV land goes ‘rawr rawr I must kill my brother it is God’s plan I shall kill him BUT REALLY I STILL LOVE HIM’ then it is kind of a given that in the end he will go NO! and throw the gun away and hug Lucifer instead. Or maybe not hug Lucifer, really, but the sentiment remains the same.
  
  Then again, I do think that Lucifer and probably Michael too do need to be got rid of. I think that all the angels and all the demons should vamoose - by which I mean die/be destroyed/move onto whatever next plane of existence there is for supernatural beings, rather than just piss off back to their respective playgrounds. They should leave Earth free from the influences of both sides. Perhaps Michael persuades Lucifer to die with him and they disintegrate into pretty light together ohhh~
  
  
• Anyway, I AM SO HAPPY THAT SAM GOT TO JOIN IN THE TIME TRAVEL SHENANIGANS TOO THIS TIME! Hooray! And OH THE WAY HE STARED AT HIS MUM. Oh Saaaaam. His sad little face. His sad giant forehead. Basically every conversation every Winchester had with another Winchester made me clutch my heart and swoon/weep/both. Fffff what a tragic and physically attractive family you are, Winchesters.
  
  
• Mary is a sexy badass, end of.
  
  
• God I was so excited when John found out the truth. I was like bouncing with excitement. WHEN HE DEMANDED TO DO THE SIGIL WITH HIS BLOOD. Oh John John John. ♥ I am so not speaking to Michael for wiping his memory of the supernatural. Although I guess we can argue that the memories kind of lingered (a la ‘angels are watching over you’, which - how sinister that now is! Damn), which is how John embraced the fact that Mary’s death was unnatural rather than repressing it like most normal people probably would. Hooray! Maaan now I want fic all about John Very Almost Remembering.
  
  (Also, does this mindwipe thing mean Mary forgot that she had been a hunter or did she just forget about the angel-y, time-travel-y flavoured things? I am mostly assuming the latter, but idk.)
  
  
• JOHN AND SAM ARGH MY HEART, MY HEART. OH SAM. OH JOHN. OH FML. That is all I have to say on the matter, as I would have to rewatch the scene by now to talk properly about it and I am just not sure my soul can handle that again.
  
  
• OH URIEL. I was so happy to see you again, even if it was in a different/younger vessel. (Discuss. At first I was just like ‘uhhh Show, you think you have to shove the angel who was in a black dude into another black dude for us to get it…?’ but then I noticed that his vessel in this episode could potentially be 30 years younger than Robert Wisdom, which INTRIGUED ME. Do all angels have a specific/ideal vessel at any one time? Does it pass through the bloodlines for every angel? Considering Castiel hopped into Jimmy’s daughter and I had already been suspecting that there was something about the Winchester bloodline pre-canon confirmation, this could potentially be the case. INTRIGUING.)
  
  
• DEAN AND MARY. I CANNOT EVEN. HEY JUDE. SOB. And then Sam being all ‘you have to leave John’ and Mary being all ‘hell naw’ and sobbb. I cannot discuss this any further.
  
  (Actually… tomato soup and rice? Really? People eat that?)
  
  
• I am sulking that Anna is dead. I was only vaguely attached to her, considering how infrequently she showed up, but whyyyyy does this show keep TAKING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KILL SAM AWAY FROM ME? First the hunters, now this? Bah. Stop denying me my Sam-flavoured h/c goddammit.
  
  
• Darling little Sammy = shit that I approve of.
  
  
• I enjoyed Matt Cohen being Michael, but damn he has bad diction. I’M SORRY MATT I LOVE YOU BUT PLEASE LEARN TO ENUNCIATE. Especially when you’re being an angel. They’re all prissy fucks. They surely wouldn’t randomly lose consonants whilst they’re making dramatic speeches at their vessels. It’s probably close to blasphemy!!
  
  (WHICH REMINDS ME. Castiel = nerdy little guy with wings, or whatever the precise quote was. I approve.)
  
  
• LOL DESCENDED FROM CAIN AND ABEL. Oh you.
  
  
• I really do not care about Castiel’s pain. I’m sorry, Castiel. Marathoning the first twelve episodes of S5 with authorial did make it a lot easier to like you/understand why other people like you and I am actually feeling kind! of! positive! about your existence on the show (rather than, yknow, your existence as a plank/inept sexual predator in my head), but SWOONING WILL NOT WIN ME OVER. Especially when I still wasn’t quite done shaking my fist at Michael for bringing Sam back from the dead entirely painlessly. WHATEVER, SHUT UP, I LIKE IT WHEN SAM HURTS.
  
  I did enjoy Castiel’s bemused little “oh Sam is still alive, well done Sam” smile, though. I guess. Stop judging me.
  
  
• Disappointed that Dean called Castiel Mr Comatose instead of the far superior CAPTAIN COMATOSE. Come on now, Dean. What were you thinking. Alliteration = always funny.
  
  
• So hey! Gosh! HEAVY THINGS. Destiny and Team Free Will! We already know that Michael is wrong re Everything Is God’s Plan, considering how Castiel and Dean defied it in the S4 finale and confused Chuck so thoroughly. Although… I guess that brings up a whole other discussion re are Chuck’s visions God’s plan or the angels’ plan? So, perhaps Michael isn’t canonically wrong after all. But I’m fairly sure it’s going to turn out that he is wrong. SPN’s Big Theme is about escaping your destiny and whilst the Winchesters admittedly haven’t done too great a job of it yet, this show may be damn depressing but I don’t think it’s so depressing as to end on a HEY YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IN EVERYTHING EVER! 8D note.
  
  … but what if God’s plan is that the Winchesters shall defy the plan? OH GOD THEOLOGY SHUT UP.
  
  So who do we have on the side of free will? The ex-demon blood junkie, the highschool drop out, Mr Captain Comatose… Bobby. Gabrielckster. Jesse. Chuck. Patrick the Sexy He-Witch? Becky? (Is Wincest fanfic part of God’s plan too?)
  
  Go team.
