HOW COULD YOU OH MY GOD.heavenonhighFebruary 19 2012, 01:21:24 UTC
[Cas is, for the most part, still rather stoic when it comes to serious emotions. At least he had been, until UP had happened. Congratulations, Doctor, you're not being treated with the saddest, most pitiful face this drugged up fallen angel has to offer.]
Why would you even say that?
[He looks like you've just told him his puppy's dead. Not that he has a puppy, or has ever, in fact, owned a puppy, but if he had, this would be the look he'd get if it were to die suddenly and horribly. Talking about UP. How could you even... Is nothing sacred?]
THAT ICON D: HOW COULD YOUUUUU!?!!!aintno_graveFebruary 19 2012, 01:49:53 UTC
[The Doctor has learned, through his over thousand year existence, that there are two periods every living being goes through: Pre-UP and Post-UP. He, unfortunately, has entered the Post-UP period.]

We don't talk about Ellie.
[It's the rules. It's how things are. It's the way anyone who's ever had the misfortune of being exposed to UP gets by. Even Dean, their fearless leader, doesn't talk about it. Rumor has it that he'd actually sniffled- which Cas happens to know is actually an understatement; he'd been present for what he refers to in his mind as The Event.
Regardless, anything that can make Dean sniffle? Clearly fatal to everyone else. And much too upsetting to talk about.]
It's nice to know that they hold my death in such high regard XDaintno_graveFebruary 19 2012, 02:30:49 UTC
[He pauses for a moment, to let Cas's word sink in, before snapping at him.]
You're absolutely right. When faced with something like this, the best course is to bottle it in and bury it under false cheerful veneers and complete ignorance.
ngl, I died a little inside when Ellie died.aintno_graveFebruary 19 2012, 06:08:35 UTC
Yeah. And Spock.
[Sh, he doesn't talk about the third Star Trek movie where Spock came back.
Maybe in 'I-can-actually-get-high' land. Over in these parts though, it's treated with a loud laugh and a backwards tilt of the head (which the mun would like to stress to not do so quickly because there is a slight chance of that you can pull something).]
I CAN FINALLY USE THIS ICON :DDDDDaintno_graveFebruary 19 2012, 21:15:06 UTC
Yes. And books -- two of 'em were books.
[IT'S A HOLLYWOOD/PHARMACEUTICAL CONSPIRACY INVOLVING PUSHING ANTI-DEPRESSANT DRUGS ONTO LITTLE KIDS.
No, but, in all seriousness, those type of movies expose and teach the theme of death to children in a way and manner that they cope with. Spock maybe an alien, Charlotte maybe a spider, but they lived, they died, and death not ends it.]
LOL. Also apologies for the delay, got that stomach bug the rest of the world had......heavenonhighFebruary 21 2012, 14:47:46 UTC
No wonder the kids here hate reading.
[Cas has fortunately never run across the horror of Where the Red Fern Grows in all of the random books he's scavenged. He'll definitely steer clear of it now that he knows better. Maybe burn it.]

Most of them would rather learn how to shoot a rifle than decipher Great Expectations.
[Which he'd read during those few horrible months after the foot-breaking incident. He hadn't cared for it; more sex and violence, less pages and pages on the exact consistency of dust on the floorboards on the house down the street from the general store that the main character's best friend's mother lived, please.]
I can't say I blame them, it's not exactly survival of the most well-read out here.
Wh -- wh -- what? Haven't you heard that song? Y'know... [His voice becomes increasingly high-pitched as he sings.] Take a look! It's in a book! Reading Rainbow! READING RAINBOWWWWWW!!~
THEY KILLED OFF ELLIEEEE!!!

You do when it's about Ellie.
[That's what drugs are for, come on, Doctor. You should know that that's the preferred method of coping here.]

[He doesn't think he wants to know about Spock. One horribly upsetting movie death is enough.
He's also gonna take mun's word for any head tilting or jerking-- he'll stick with his drugs.]

[He really has to wonder what exacting those movies are trying to prepare the youth for... Some of that stuff is worse than a zombie apocalypse.]

...Did you get into my drawer?
["Reading rainbow" sounds like some kind of drug.
It actually sounds like a pretty interesting drug, and if he's in possession of it without knowing he'd like to be made aware so he can try it out.]
