I just spent the morning trying to use geodesics to talk about ontology and how legitimate the self-consistency principle might be if we also allow for wave function collapse. And just, no. Affine connections and smooth manifold metrics aside, I've decided that the way angels time travel is just by being really really good at math. Like how humans tend to be good at breathing.

Whereas physics and I have always had an internecine relationship, so. I guess I should be used to this.

I've heard it told that a writer only writes once it becomes unbearable for them not to do so; my continued preference for procrastination via research of quantum mechanics or medieval weapons or the seedy underbelly of the usage of American English over actually getting shit done suggests that nope, I haven't hit that point. Which doesn't stop characters from having ridiculous and repetitive conversations in my head. Well, it's that or it's hell grotesquery and plotless post-apocalyptic word landscapes. Which: unhelpful.

Though it is fun.

Here, have a cracky gif type thing )

Dean: "I'm tired, Sam. I'm tired of this job. This life. This weight on my shoulders, man, I'm tired of it."

Sam: "So you're just going to give up? You're just going to lay down and die?"

I think it's significant that the only time we've ever met Michael was in a place where we could also hang out with our old friend Uriel. If [livejournal.com profile] starandrea turns out to be right about this, I'll be pretty damn happy.

Take one down, put it in the ground, ninety-eight problems of the apocalypse on the wall.

There's a lot of people bitching about What Dean Said in 5.17, and I just want to ask them "Are you paying attention?" Besides the fact that deflecting with humor about how great it is to vent anger by killing evil things being Dean's complete M.O., notice that the episode ended with spoilers for 5.17 )

I've only watched these promos for 5.18, but you know the last one? I could've sworn I've read this fic before. Of course that was written back in season 4, but fandom can be remarkably prescient at times.

You know, my episode reactions tend to be more geared to fandom reactions of episode reactions. And heh, iTunes, I love it when you're so on point.

I was reading Wikipedia at work, like you do, maybe had a slight heart attack when I ran into this:
[Jimmy] Page was commissioned to write the soundtrack music for the film Lucifer Rising...


...

I guess we know where that title comes from now, as well as Kripke's ideal casting for GOD.

My hope is that he names the series finale "Ramble On" (or, naturally, "Carry On My Wayward Son"). And not, you know, "Achilles Last Stand" or some equivalent.
affablyevil: (whee!)
Jason Todd... Jason Teague...

Obviously, Jason Blood is next up. Jared can be Etrigan. You know, if Marvel doesn't snatch him up.

I wonder if Ares and Gabriel would get along.





If they didn't, I'm sure the 21st century would immediately turn into a turf war. Er, more than the apocalypse already is.


Also, is Team Free Will reference to Team Heaven/Team Hell/Team Humanity etc.?

Normally I would think that it was just a coincidence, but we all know how much fanfic Kripke reads.
affablyevil: (whee!)
Misha Collins' minions made a real live charity. I am laughing so hard at this. Celebrity dictatorships are a srs bsns. I'm sure the man in question is equal parts startled and delighted. Naturally, there's potential for abuse, so I like the protip of "up to $5."

Speaking of which, Newsweek wrote an article about how celebrity narratives are "The Greatest Show on Earth," which is supposedly a defense of tabloid culture. Okay, now give yourself a moment to throw up in your mouth after processing that. I find it interesting because it proves I am incredibly prescient (except not, since when did we start talking about the cult of celebrity? Wasn't it right around that guy in Germany started shouting? Oh wait, the Victorian era? Earlier?), but also when it comes to RPF at least the emphasis and awareness is on the fiction. Yes, the accusations of forced closeted gay lifestyles or whatever applied to reality are ridiculous and abhorrent, but we see so much worse examples in the way the media acts that we're just adapting those as socially normal.

I'm very much of the camp of "Oh you adore each other, hooray!" rather than interest in who's up to what or passive aggressively seething at a total stranger for scoring someone I will never meet. I mean, of course there are some celebrities I want to burn in hell (or a jail cell) forever, but that's a justice thing.

I am sitting in the airport and I will be in America in like 14 hours; I am so stoked to be able to use Hulu and CW streaming and Pandora and crap again.

Also this meta on Dean and food is totally spot on to me, and convinces me even more that John was the most incapable parent ever.

So remember how I had a headslapping moment about canonical RPF here? Yeah, someone wrote a fanfic in which Becky and Chuck argue about fanfic and profic and RPF and what fanfic means and does to people... while having lolarious comments about Becky being a redshirt and meta and just win. All over.

Writing (And Other Things That Are Hard (Chuck/Becky, PG-13, ~2000 words) "You made me believe in Sam and Dean so much that I wanted to try to make them real, too."

Yes it is amazing read it read it.
affablyevil: (let's see that smile!)
While sitting around and thinking about Show (as usual) I had the stunning realization that since Chuck is actually just writing stuff that he sees in the tv of his head, he is, in fact, writing fanfic. Accidentally RPF, canonical fanfic, but "fanfic" in principle none the less. Oh no this is getting too meta: does that mean that (unlicensed) biographies are a form of RPF too? Is my crazy getting out of control?

I'm not sure, it made sense in my brain.

New preview scene for S5. But kind of unreleased/skeezy since it's on a cam. So I guess, spoilers? D:

Eunice from She's the Man — I thought her overexcitable fangirling was familiar. Hilarious intentional reversal with the crazy. Anyway, all I could think of? "Oh no! You cut her hair! I wanted her to have long hair like classic Gabby!"

Because I swear to God, Season 5 is going to be Xena Season 6. Lucifer included — though probably without Dean trying to talk Lucifer into becoming king of hell, since that would be awkward and has already uh, happened..

...Can we have an Old Ares Had a Farm equivalent for Castiel? Pretty please? Because that would be so beyond amazing I would joyvomit all over myself. Zack can be Gaskar.
