Girls, guys, and gays, introducing Gordon Walker the scummiest scum.
You know what really gets me this episode, is at the end, Dean brings up how there may be a lot more grey area than he realized, and their Dad might’ve made a mistake in unilaterally hating all “monsters”.
Great point right? Season 2 episode 3.
SO TELL ME WHY THIS IS STILL A PLOT POINT IN SEASON 14
Like good god let him mature past this point. The whole “Jack is Lucifer’s son, so there’s no changing him, he’s born bad”, like dude. It’s been over a decade. Let him grow as an individual already. (which aside wtf is sam’s problem with Benny, you’ve ALWAYS had a more open stance to supernatural morality. You’re telling me Sam did a fucking 180 on vampires for like 1 season and then switched back? WHY? so contrived. I hate season 8 so much)
I can't remember if you've done any drawings for this before, sorry, but I have a requestober prompt! Vargas ladyverse snake charmer au? Or ladyverse dryder au Scri, I feel like the potential for pretty spiderweb clothes is high there. I would request both, but I want to respect the rules ^^ Thank you!!

Finding Fleetwood Mac's Mysterious, Enchanting, and Haunting Energy (Part 1)
As I've dived deeper into Fleetwood Mac's discography, I've realized that you can't pin most of the band's mysterious, enchanting, and haunting energy to Rumours. It's always been in the band.
The type of blues with Peter Green / Danny Kirwan / Jeremy Spencer that Fleetwood Mac was putting out naturally had dark and mystical themes, a prime example being The Green Manalishi (Then Play On - 1969). It's literally the same thing as Gold Dust Woman (Rumours - 1977), as he uses a witchy figure (and her effects) to describe his issues at that time with the struggles of money and drugs that come with being a musician, as well as shrieking instruments and howling throughout the song.
Other songs, like Albatross (1968) and of course Black Magic Woman (1968) also have ethereal and bewitching themes too.
It's also worth mentioning that the band was on drugs like LSD at this time too. Peter Green eventually Syd Barrett'ed out of the band; mental illness and drugs made him spiral and leave in 1970. So obviously, trips, delusions, and the users pretty much losing themselves to addiction during the creative processes, in addition to already being rooted in a dark and mythical genre means that the music is going to have an eerie, almost grieved, edge to it.
In my opinion, after Peter Green leaves the band, only a few songs between the end of his era and the beginning of Buckingham/Nicks carry the same heavy sound and theme I want to discuss. So before I next post on this topic (dealing with after Rumours), I suggest listening to the album Then Play On (1969) as there are many other songs I didn't bring up but still have the Fleetwood Mac sound mostly associated with Rumours. My favorites are Oh Well, Pt 1., World in Harmony, Closing My Eyes, One Sunny Day, and Before the Beginning.
