Supernatural gen ficlet - A Matter of Perspective

I'm working on the longer fics, but keep letting myself get distracted by other things. So here's a little bit of snark for the paranormal25 prompt HellTITLE: A Matter of Perspective

“Sam, I kill stuff for a living. Does it look like I care what the Buddhists say?” *gigglesnort*

brilliant - philosophical snark rulz!

Thank you! I did enjoy bringing the snark in this - and Dean getting one over on Sam.

>>Oh God. Not just normal Sammy babble, but pseudo-psycho Sammy babble. Dean closes his eyes and prays for temporary deafness.<<

HAha! My favorite part.

I looooove stories about paintings that come to life.

Thank you! I feel a bit bad using this painting - but it was the perfect background for a discussion on the nature of hell. Another quote from it is: There are no cold cokes in hell. I LOVE that. Hell is a warm bottle of coke.

[sailorhathor]

Yeah, like I'd feel bad for making the boys burn a Rene' Magritte painting. Noooooooo! :D

You know, nothing but hot Cokes would suck pretty bad. It'd be like having nothing but celery with nothing to put on it for ALL ETERNITY.

dude, I fed you strained peas when you were in diapers and I’m telling you now that wasn’t my freaking idea of heaven.” *hee* Love the pragmatic anti-philosophical snark! *smooches Dean -for that and knowing culture through pop culture*

I got a giggle out of Sam going all philosophy and teamwork - umm, isn't he the one whose always had the team work problem...

Hey, Sam! It’s Hallmark, wondering when you’re going to send in the next batch of those emo-card inserts.” Love this!

Thank you! I knew Dean would know the music references - when I realized that Zeppelin had been done by Morton and Death - and they renamed the bassist Sartre, I was so happy. Yep, I thought Dean might want to think of new ways to mock Sam's hallmark moments.

Your icon rocks!! LOL!!!

Is Finster still alive? Man, using one of his paintings is an inspired--and frightening--idea.

Dean closes his eyes and prays for temporary deafness. His prayer remains unanswered.

Throwing in Sartre at the last minute. Oh, Sam may no longer be enrolled but he still sounds like a college student.

I think Finster died in 2001 - and I feel a bit guilty using his painting - but it was such a vivid picture of hell. I knew Satre had to be in there - at first it was going to be Dean who quote him, but I loved the idea of Sam getting pissed off with Dean.

“Is there a point to this story?” Dean slips his hand in his pocket, checks his lighter’s still there. “Cos, dude, I fed you strained peas when you were in diapers and I’m telling you now that wasn’t my freaking idea of heaven.”

*snicker* I love the snark in this story!

[eloise_bright]

Thank you! That might have been my favourite line in this.
