SUPERNATURAL FINALE
May. 20th, 2014 11:16 pmAs usual . . .
EVERYTHING IS CURSED AND EVERYTHING HURTS. How in blazes do you guys manage to kill off a Winchester almost every season, and still make us cry every freaking time? Writers. I should hate them, but I want to be of their ilk--no, I WILL be one. Metatron better die a very horrific death, and not in the rather anticlimactic way that Abaddon went.
Out of the usual . . .
ZOMG THEY ACTUALLY WENT WITH THE DEMON!DEAN PLOTBUNNY. We've been teased with that over the seasons, but I never actually thought they'd go there. BUT THEY DID. And while it's a delicious opportunity to bring an awesome dynamic to a show that was starting to get a little jaded, IT STILL HURTS. Dean deals (or doesn't deal) with more than enough crap already; even though he kinda deserves this, IT STILL ISN'T SITTING WELL.
All I know is this. 1) Dean can never, ever, EVER give Sam crap about his affinity for demons and their blood again. 2) HIATUS IS GOING TO BE A NEW KIND OF HELL EVEN WE "WAYWARD SONS" AREN'T READY TO FACE. (I saw a suggestion on tumblr that we SPN fans call ourselves Wayward Sons. Of course I'm going to run with that.) 3) If Season 10 is going to be the last (perish the thought!), we're going out with a terrific bang.

Feelings on Various Subjects
May. 8th, 2014 12:04 pmFinished Season 8 of Dexter last week, and only now do I feel calm enough to write about it coherently. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F***. F***ing hell, as Deb would say. It's bad enough that Rudy/Brian duped Deb and tried to get Dexter to kill her with him. It's bad enough Rita had was killed by another serial killer. It's bad enough we had a scary foreshadowing throwback to Rita's death, with Deb's nightmare of a bathtub of blood. BUT DID YOU HAVE TO KILL OFF DEB? DID YOU? I get that after all the stuff on this show, somebody had to take the fall. But. NOT. DEBRA MORGAN.
There were three people I was deathly afraid for and didn't want touched: Deb, Harrison, and Jamie the Rockstar Nanny. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE DIES. I could live with Dexter dying or facing death row; it would be sad, but it would be fair, considering that he is the true destructive force on this show. For me, the whole show was about Dexter struggling to keep his destructive personality from harming his loved ones. And then the writers just decide he has to fail spectacuarly, put Deb in the line of fire, and kill her so she doesn't have to be a vegetable. WAY TO GIVE US SATISFYING CLOSURE. We're all dying for an ending in which a woman is completely destroyed by the man she loved in multiple ways and depended on always. Because that totally doesn't happen enough in real life, and we need it on screen all the time, too.
On a lighter note, my To Be Read List is so long, I'm coping by revisiting Marguerite Henry. She's the reason I get at least one horse calendar every year. My first introduction to her was an old copy of Misty of Chincoteague that my Dad had as a kid. Totally and completely fell in love with her writing style, and her books launched me into an obsession with horses and an appreciation for Will James. This fever lasted through my preteen and early teen years, and only mellowed out after I got a book all about horse care. Then I realized that much as I loved horses, I would never be able to make the time and effort commitment necessary for proper horse care (let alone AFFORD it financially). So now I read about horses, and sketch horses, but devote most of my obsession to fandoms. :)

Deviantart and Supernatural Musings
Oct. 29th, 2013 10:18 pmHelp, I've gotten lost in deviantART, and I can't get out! I could spend days browsing Supernatural fan art. Heck, I could spend days just staring at just this jaw-dropping example from kakilily. THE LIGHTING IS AMAZING. It's why I do and I don't want to improve my drawing skills at the same time. I'll only be satisfied if I put a lot of effort in, and I don't have the time.
Anybody having mixed feelings about the last couple Supernatural episodes? I'm having them in abundance.With last week's episode, I loved watching Cas prove he can still nuke angels while he's human, and I loved watching him learning how to be human in his deep yet childlike way. But the anti-Destiel smack-down was, frankly, uncalled for. I don't ship Destiel (it gets on my nerves sometimes), but most of my tumblr reblog buddies eat, sleep, and breathe Destiel, and that episode was downright cruel to them. Yeah, it's Supernatural, so of course every episode is more or less brutal, but this . . . this seemed to single the Destiel shippers out for pain. Or is that just me?
As for this week's episode, I loved having Charlie back, and having her save the day. I loved having a witch running about, harkening back to the good ol' days when witches and ghosts were the scariest things our boys had to deal with--except now the witch gets to paper-text the King of Hell in the dungeon. XD I loved seeing both Winchesters possessed at the same time (that's so rare, it's always fun). But also, I felt a lot of the dialogue was an insincere attempt to appease geeks everywhere. I love geek references, but a lot of the references here felt forced. And Charlie saving the day felt more like a half-hearted attempt to make her not just the secretary to supplement the Winchesters. And I really felt there was too much hopping here and there, trying to get too much done too fast. There were so many things that needed more fleshing out. The backstory with Dorothy and the two guys; Charlie hunting (ZOMG!); Sam still not feeling the bunker is home. I hope all of these get explained better in future.

*is failing spectacularly*
Why is it that every single season seems to be one long effort to put fan emotions through a wringer? And HOW do they do this, honestly?! I'm one of those people that finds it easy to get attached to fictional characters over real people, and I'm shocked at just how much they make us love these guys. I swear, if I get any more attached to/obsessed with Castiel, what little sanity I have left is forfeit.
I won't go any further, lest I spoil anyone. I'll just drop GIFs, because that's sometimes the best way to express yourself electronically.
