Swan Song
Hrrrg stayed up all Friday night to finish season five with zempasuchil, bawww'ed epically. Which is what SPN season finales do to you. Went slightly mad without sleep all Saturday until I passed out during a rewatch of 5.18 with a friend and decided to call it a night. Watched 5.22 again with ihrketayhl Sunday to demonstrate ( SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER to her. 5.22 reaction! I have actually had a few days to process, so I'm sort of coherent! )

I have more reaction to your reaction (though I should probably not type it up and just talk it out with you, I spend too much time typing instead of homeworking asfdkjfds) but I find that I am distracting myself well from the pain with schoolwork and thinking about angels instead
ANGELS
well it had to happen sometime. plus I mean I have always liked wingfic aesthetics. we'll see how this works out. I am also trying to edge myself back into the winlove music but I cannot rush this process, it is still twingey painful.

What with speculating on what S6 might consist of I've managed to get myself to a headspace where basically it's like he's back already, it's such a foregone conclusion! Which helps a lot.
(augh me too, homework won't you go away.) I would be delighted to hear more reaction to my reaction in either way however.
Angels?
I THINK I HAVE MANAGED TO STAUNCH THE BLOODFLOW with copious fic et al, although I still get a little teary listening to certain songs etc. It's a little frustrating as I am one of those people who sometimes REALLY WANTS TO CRY but cannot quite physically shed the tears, so I just feel unsatisfied and miserable.
Also the fire alarm went off in my building at seven thirty am this morning. I'm going to murder someone.

ANGELS angel aesthetics like wings and unhuman speech and writing on bodies/bones, angel politics in a heaven thrown into chaos (lassiterfics is throwing me ideas comparing Castiel being the new sheriff in town to CASTRO how could I not be totally into this??), angels of other cultures?? I dunno! It's pretty much this: I still love SPN but need to rehabilitate my emotional and aesthetic life by not making it so absolutely about Sam and Dean. And then eventually I can look back at Sam and Dean without feeling like I'm drowning. I have the same crying problem, it would feel really good to cry but it takes so much to get me there that I don't want to work myself up for an hour to subject myself to the goodness of the finale and The Trapeze Swinger again ( ... )

GOOD END in that winlove reigned ultimate supreme; BAD END in that Sam and Dean suffer their most hateful fate, separation. Good thing there's another season!
Wow. That's like the perfect summation of the episode.
Pretty much, thematically, what happened was what I expected to happen; Kripke got to the end of their story and mostly completed the narrative arcs that have been driving the show. Sam sacrificed himself to absolve his guilt; for setting Lucifer free, for failing to rescue Dean. He got to have the agency he's been striving for since at least third season, and in a way all his life; he took an action of his own choosing, to save everything he wants to protect, and he was correct and successful in that action. Dean finally let Sam grow up all the way, let Sam stand on his own, but never loved Sam less as a partner than as a little brother, and stood at his side through the end. He's lost faith in their ( ... )
