lads i'm starting to suspect that the ur-daddy-issues - the Alpha Daddy, if you will - might be SPN's own self-consciousness about not being the X-Files

i mean... compelled to mention its dad all the time whether or not anyone asked; insists to the point of petulance that it's Not Dad and Dad's Not Here Now; crushingly aware that it's stepping into daddy's shoes (ecological niche on network TV) and terrified of being too cringe to fill them; also, at the same time, SO terrified of repeating daddy's mistakes that it pre-emptively lampshades sins that have nothing to do with the ones it's actually committing....

....and oh, yeah, after six and a half seasons to find its feet and become its own person, it can't even get through a fun little homage/fakeout like "alien abductions? nope, made ya look, those are just what people's minds invent to fill in the blanks of being Taken By The Fae" without getting excruciatingly hung up on the silliness of its own Evil Fairies alt-explanation plot. like SO hung up that self-deprecating jokes weren't enough, it just HAD to have Dean do a haha-whoopsie honest-to-god literal hate crime about it.

i... fuck, i'm almost impressed. fractal daddy issues with fractally deranged coping mechanisms. as above so below, over and over and over into infinity, because it's dads all the way down.

(i'm given to understand that SPN's other closest ancestor is Buffy and i'll take a wild guess, based on guest-star casting alone, that it also has some buck-wild mommy issues. can't comment on those firsthand, though, because my grudge-aversion to giving Whedon evangelists the satisfaction of ever watching their shit... is SO much older and SO much deeper than my late, lamented, utterly vindicated, decade-plus insistence that i was not going to watch SPN because i knew it would just make me mad.)

#supernatural #clap your hands if you believe #x files #meta #if i DO end up watching Buffy and it's in ANY way motivated by figuring out wtf this show's damage is #then i will cyberstalk the entire SPN writers' room to find out where they sleep‚ and my spirit will not rest #until i've woken each and every last one of them with a pie to the fucking face #shine watches spn #spn s6

Welches Goldene Zeitalter des Fernsehens? - Sie haben “Westworld” gecanncelt, also lasst uns ehrlich sein!

Das sogenannte Goldene Zeitalter des Fernsehens, das es meiner Meinung nach sowieso nie gegeben hat, neigt sich rapide seinem Ende zu. Zwischen all den Meldungen darüber welche Streaming Serien nicht vor 2024 ihre nächste Staffel heraushauen werden, häufen sich jetzt auch wieder die Absetzungs- und Beendigungs-Nachrichten und die Shitstorms um die Serien, die über ihre legitime Lebenszeit hinaus verlängert werden, nur weil irgendwer denkt sie wären wichtiger als die besseren anderen Serien, die es gibt und die stattdessen abgesetzt werden. Also ja, können wir uns bitte endlich darauf einigen, dass sechs MCU-Serien im Jahr, unendliche viele angekündigte neue Star Wars Serien, und zwei neue Star Trek-Staffeln pro Jahr nicht heißen, dass wir deswegen im Goldenen Zeitalter des Fernsehens leben?

Wenn man sich 2023 ansieht, dann kriegt man MCU-Serien, Star Wars- und Star Trek-Serien und The Walking Dead-Serien, und das war’s dann auch schon wieder. Hoffentlich gibt es auch die letzte Staffel von “Snowpiercer”, es sei denn die verschwindet an den Ort, an dem HBOmax all seine Todesopfer versteckt, weil man dort keine Miete zahlen muss, aber abgesehen davon bleibt uns nur noch das Network-Fernsehen, und das wird jedes Jahr immer trostloser. “Grey’s Anatomy” schließt sich “NCIS” an und macht einfach ohne seine Hauptfigur weiter und wird aus irgendwelchen Gründen scheinbar trotzdem noch angesehen, und “Law and Order: SVU” scheint unverwüstlich zu sein, aber im Grunde lebt die US-Network-Landschaft nur noch von Krimi-, Krankenhaus- und Actionserien, wobei Letztere in Wahrheit aber auch nur alternative Varianten von Krimi-Serien sind. Selbst die gute alte Sitcom hat es inzwischen irgendwie schwer zwischen all dem Reality-Müll, Genre-, Drama-, Mystery- und Thrillerserien werden inzwischen so wie die History-Serien gar nicht mehr für Networks gepitched, bzw. wenn sie es doch werden gehen sie nirgendwo hin, oder gehen nach einer Staffel den Weg alles Sterblichen. Nicht umsonst wird “Manifest” von Netflix zu Ende gebracht, und nicht umsonst entwickelt Julie Plec ihren neuen Fantasy-Serien jetzt für Peacock und andere Streaming Services.

The CW war die letzte Bastion für das, was unsereins gerne sieht, doch mit der Übernahme durch Nextstar ist dieses Zeitalter zu Ende gegangen. Nextstar hat offenbar Geldprobleme, was nicht nur bedeutet, dass aus all den Projekten, die an sie via The CW herangetragen wurden wie etwa die neue “Babylon 5″-Serie nichts werden wird, sondern auch, dass all jene Serien, die die Rote Hochzeit dieses Jahr überstanden hatten und diese Season weiterhin auf Sendung sein werden, auf einmal in Gefahr schweben. Die nächste Cancellation-Welle hat bereits begonnen, und neben “The Flash” und “Riverdale”, die mit dieser Season sowieso zu Ende gehen sollten, findet jetzt auch “Nancy Drew” ein verfrühtes Ende, und “Stargirl” wurde mitten in der Ausstrahlung der dritten Season eben doch gecanncelt, was zwar niemanden überrascht, aber eine schlechte Zukunft für die letzten DC-Serien auf dem Sender - “Superman & Lois” und “Gotham Knights” - vorhersagt. Auch der SPN-Spin-Off “The Winchesters” wackelt bereits, und selbst bei sicheren Startern wie “Kung Fu” und der “Walker”-Franchise ist es auf einmal nicht mehr sicher, dass es eine Zukunft für diese Serien über diese Season hinaus geben wird.

Und die Kabel-Sender? Leider wurden die angesteckt, was den derzeitigen Cancellation-Wahn, der überall herrscht, angeht. Denn obwohl schon eine fünfte Staffel von “Westworld” bestellt worden war, die Darsteller bezahlt worden waren und sich gegen Aufzahlung extra für die geplante Drehzeit freigenommen hatten, hat HBO nun doch vollkommen überraschend den Stecker gezogen und verkündet, dass die Serie mit Season 4 endet. Discovery führt den Vernichtungszug gegen die Konkurrenz, die übernommen wurde, also offenbar fort, und jetzt nachdem HBOmax für immer zerstört wurde, geht es mit HBO weiter. Was bedeutet diese “Westworld”-News für ein teures Prestige-Projekt wie “The Last of Us”? Gibt es für Warner-Discovery überhaupt noch eine Zukunft?

Das Ende von Starzplay auf der andere Seite läuft ruhiger ab, weil die Serien, die eigentlich dort hätten einziehen sollen, woanders untergebracht werden. Wenn es jemand gibt, der wirklich vom plötzlichen Chaos am Serienmarkt profitiert, dann ist es Peacock, und natürlich Paramount+, die viel von dem, was ursprünglich von und für Warner gemacht worden war, abkassieren dürften. Unterdessen hat sich Disney+ zwar die Internationalen Rechte von der 2023 “Doctor Who”-”Staffel “(haha) gesichert, aber ansonsten müssen sowohl dieses Streaming Service als auch Netflix und Amazon eher noch lernen ihre Karten richtig auszuspielen, denn warum sonst haben sie noch nicht zugeschlagen und alles übernommen und gerettet, was möglich ist? Insofern ist es auch nicht gesagt, dass einer der großen Drei “Westworld” rettet. Da man sämtliche CW- und HBOmax-Produkte vor die Hunde hat gehen lassen, könnte es vielleicht daran liegen, dass Warner-Discovery nicht wollte, dass irgendwelche von ihren Serien oder Filmen von Drittparteien gerettet werden, und wenn dem so ist, dann könnte “Westworld” das gleiche Schicksal blühen.

Starz selbst macht aber zumindest munter weiter, wie es scheint. Nach der Covid/Schwangerschafts-bedingten frühzeitig und daher endenlosen 6. Staffel, soll Staffel 7 von “Outlander” zum ersten Mal seit der 1. Staffel wieder sechzehn Folgen bekommen. Natürlich muss hier erst noch das Ende von Staffel 6 nachgeholt werden, also ist unklar wie lange die eigentliche Staffel 7 wirklich sein wird (wer die Bücher kennt, weiß, dass Buch 7 lange und in mehr als nur einer Hinsicht umfangreich und kompliziert ist, aber seit sie anfgegangen haben die Bücher zu mischen - also zu Staffel 5-Zeiten - ist die Serie sowieso nur noch ein vager Best Off-Shuffle-Mix der Vorlage und keine Verfilmung mehr), und vielleicht deutet die “lange” Staffel ja eher darauf hin, dass wir es mit der finale Staffel zu tun haben.

Enden wird “The Handmaid’s Tale”, allerdings erst nach Staffel 6. Hulu hat hier vorausgeplant, und auch wenn man argumentieren kann, dass die Serie wohl zu lange gelaufen ist, ist es doch ungewohnt einmal wieder eine Serie zu sehen, die die Standartlänge von sechs Staffeln umfasst und nicht um jede weitere Staffel nach der ersten kämpfen muss oder irgendwo im zweistelligen Bereich für scheinbar bis nach dem Ende der Menschheit ausgelegt ist, und sich dabei immer wieder selbst wiederholt und alle Charaktere am laufenden Band austauscht. Die Zukunft von Hulu ist aber durch den Erfolg von Disney+ gefährdet, denn nun da man Disney Star auch in der daraus zu tiefst verwirrten USA in Disney+ inkludiert hat, stellt sich die Frage, ob Disney Hulu überhaupt noch braucht, und wenn die beschließen, dass sie das nicht mehr tun, nun dann wird es ein Outlet für ungewöhnlichere Stoffe weniger geben und das könnte schon in den nächsten zwei oder drei Jahren der Fall sein. Vielleicht endet nicht nur Junes Abenteuer, sondern auch das von Hulu.

Und was bleibt dann noch? Die großen Franchises, solange sie gerade in sind und dazwischen den Network-Einheitsbrei? Serien wie “Rings of Power”, “House of the Dragon” oder “Stranger Things” nehmen sich nicht nur deswegen ein Jahr Pause, weil sie kompliziert zu produzieren sind, sondern auch weil die Studios dahinter auf diese Weise Geld sparen können. Diese Produktionen kosten dreimal so viel eine früher als teuer geltende Serie. Lange sind die Zeiten vorbei als “Rome” die teuerste Serie aller Zeiten war. Klar, bei diesen Kosten kann man sich nicht jedes Jahr eine sowieso nur aus acht bis zehn Folgen bestehende Staffel leisten. Aber zugleich bedeutet das eine längere Wartezeit zwischen neuen Folgen, und damit werden Erwartungshaltungen geschürt, die schon “Games of Thrones” zum Verhängnis geworden sind. Lange Pausen sind gut fürs Geld, aber ironischerweise schlecht für den Erfolg, ja mehr Leute sammeln sich an, die einschalten, aber die sind um so kritischer, weil sie schon lange selbst beschlossen haben wie es weitergehen soll (und vermutlich im Fall von HotD nicht so wie in “Fire and Blood”).

Früher hatte eine Staffel “Star Trek” 26 Folgen pro Staffel, erschien jährlich, und war einfach immer für uns da. Heute muss sich “Strange New Worlds” mit zehn Folgen begnügen und ist zu wertvoll um einen weltweiten Publikum einfach gezeigt zu werden. Wer also nicht die hunderste “Law and Order”-Ableger-Serie ansehen will und irgendetwas heldenhaftes in Chicago beobachten möchte, der muss sich damit abfinden, dass seine Lieblingsserien seltener mit weniger Folgen zu sehen sind, weil sie mehr kosten, was aber nicht unbedingt heißt, dass sie deswegen besser sind. “Rings of Power” hätte es besser zu Gesicht gestanden weniger zu kosten aber dafür inhaltlich besser zu sein. Und genau das ist das andere Problem des heutigen Fernsehen. Vielleicht waren nicht alle 26 Folgen der vierten Staffel von “TNG” genial, aber dafür waren auch die schlechtesten immer noch anschaubar, weil es einen gewissen Grundstandart gab, selbst wenn ihnen zwischendurch mal für eine Episode das Geld ausgegangen war. Im heutigen Kabel- und Streaming-TV wird das episodische Konzept immer seltener genutzt, sprich die Serie oder Staffel soll als Ganzes gesehen funktionieren, das bedeutet aber auch, dass damit automatisch alles schlecht ist, wenn es eine schlechte Folge gibt, die alles davor oder danach entwertet, oder wenn die erste Folge nicht gut ist und es daher danach nie besser werden kann. Und um das auszugleichen macht man vermehrt Anthologie-Serie, die zwar nicht schlecht sind, und genau das Problem nicht haben, aber eigentlich teurer sein müssten als eine Serie mit Standing Sets und fixen Cast, die sie eben gerade nicht ersetzen können.

Also, nein, das Goldene Zeitalter des Fernsehens ist vorbei. Covid und die Inflation haben es gekillt, wie es scheint, aber die Produktionsfirmen haben das ihre dazu beigetragen. Und solange es Leute gibt, die aus den gleichen Gründen wie Discovery Warner gekauft hat und Elon Musk Twitter gekauft hat, Merger und Übernahmen ermöglichen, nun solange wird alles immer schlechter werden anstatt besser. Denn wer etwas kauft nur um es zu zerstören und sich dann wundert, dass er damit Verluste anstatt Gewinne macht, nun der ist an allem, was danach passiert, selber schuld.

spn fanfic masterpost

MISC (most recent first)

some other time

Why didn’t he say it some other time?

window (poem)

just another tragedy greater than our hearts

movie nights

Cas likes movie nights.

priority | ao3

The world is empty, he almost lost Cas again. The world his full, Cas loves him.

rules

Dean has an extensive number of rules.

something more | ao3

Dean never wants to go to hunter gatherings.

like today | ao3

Dean is not too bothered. Outside the weather is bad, but the place it’s nearby, the job seems easy and they can be home in time for dinner. And if they hit the traffic, well, Cas will be there. They will be fine.

alt 15.20

Sam snorted, too engrossed in his phone to argue. “I think it’s time, Dean. You’re ready to hang it up,” he joked.

heaven | ao3

The reaper they send looks at him with compassion. It’s not anyone he knows. “Welcome, Dean,” she says, “Are you ready to move on?”

15.18 coda

Dean doesn’t get used to it.

seedlings | ao3

Castiel is standing in Robert Singer’s kitchen.

foosball

They’ve got a foosball table now.

ring for an angel | ao3

The blue neon sign on top of the short building says Feathers in a friendly font and has a pair of little wings and a halo to blink with it.

dw. is saved (18/09/20)

It’s a night like any other when Jack asks Cas if he can tell the story of how he rescued Dean from Hell.

bobby's house

Dean wakes up from his nap on Bobby’s couch.

time

It’s not exactly a memory, but a memory of a dream.

lebanon | ao3

Sometimes, when he is at the bunker and things are quiet, Castiel goes out and ventures in town.

help | ao3

Dean keeps busy in the bunker; Cas helps.

take heart, dear one | ao3

The journey was long, music filled and a little snore filled and it involved a lot of gas stations and sketchy diners and a stop to buy three pairs of ridiculous rubber flip flops but at the end the bungalow turned out to actually be on a beach, so at least the booking site hadn’t lied about that.

#DEANCASSUMMERPROMPTS21

week 1: summer soltice

The huge neon sign on the door said Summer Solstice in yellow and orange and was decorated with palms and flamingos. It was flashy and intimidating.

week 2: drive in cinema

Cas appears out of nowhere in the passenger seat, making Dean jump out of his skin and spill soda all over himself.

week 3: i can still recall our last summer

Dean said it was too hot. He’d said it fifty times already since they left the bunker this morning and they were not even halfway through the journey.

week 4: selfie together

Three days to impact (moving out with Cas and a bunch of hunter nerds settling into the bunker to set up the Network), and Dean was still elbow deep in messy drawers, sorting through his stuff in one of the research rooms.

week 5: holidays [holiday fic part 1/3]

Sam dropped it on him right before they left for their holiday.

week 6: water guns [holiday fic part 2/3]

As soon as he looked at Alex he knew she was thinking the same thing, given her eyes, wide and bright and a mischievous smile on her lips. “Ambush?” she said.

week 7: long summer nights [holiday fic part 3/3]

It was four a.m. and Dean was awake.

#SPNADVENTCALENDAR2020

day 1: advent calendar

Dean couldn’t believe that he was going to be late. Of all the times it could happen, it had to be on that day, on that snowy February night of his first date with Cas.

day 2 + 3: childhood memories + motel rooms

One minute Dean is soaping up in the shower - under what could be described more as a lukewarm leak than an actual shower spray - and the next the whole thing dies on him.

day 4: cooking and baking

Now, Bobby Singer didn’t always exactly enjoy having Sam and Dean around – he was used to living alone and he liked his routine; they got loud when they bickered and he always had to make sure they were clean and fed and far from the stuff he had laying around that they weren’t supposed to touch.

day 5 + 6: carols + christmas curse | ao3

Cas shows up on the third day with the french hens and the turtle doves and the partridge in tow.

day 7: phone calls and late night texts

The first time his phone rings, they are at the diner. When Cas makes no move to grab it from his pocket, Claire stops talking about her classes for a moment to ask, “Isn’t that your phone?”

day 8: “there’s no need for mistletoe”

“Are you guys decent?” comes Sam’s voice from the other side of their door. “Yes,” is Cas’ reply, at the same time Dean says, “No.”

day 9: wishes

Dean wakes with a start. Even in the dark, his eyes find Castiel immediately - a solemn, imposing figure at the edge of his bed.

day 10: the gingerbread man

Sam sits across from him with an amused grin plastered on his face. “Jack said he wants to be the gingerbread man for Christmas this year,” he says.

day 11: sharing is caring

“Do we know anyone around here?” asks Cas from the passenger seat and Dean closes his eyes and sighs. “Yeah,” he says disheartened, “We know Garth.”

day 12 + 16: the one with the dancing + family

A Winchester treat package, Christmas edition.

day 13: poinsettia

It started as soon as Cas joined them at the diner and slipped into the booth next to Dean liked he usually did.

day 14: christmas lights

The last question she asks is the one Claire wanted to avoid at all costs. “Are you coming back to see the lights?”

day 15: of snow and scarves

Dean flung open the door on the parking lot outside their motel room. “Alright you two, get inside now. It’s freezing,” he called, briskly.

day 19: photographs

It gets – a little out of control, but Dean doesn’t realize it, not until Sam comes around one time and he’s scrolling through his phone, saying, “Dude, how many pictures of Miracle have you got?”

#SPNSTAYATHOMECHALLENGE april-june 2020

monday 1: feather

“What the-?”, shouted Dean stopping short on the garage door.

monday 2: gentlemen + thief

“We are the best, aren’t we?” There’s the night and there’s them, engine roaring, compass pointing towards home.

monday 4: bet | ao3

Four times Eileen thought Dean and Castiel were more than friends and one time Sam (finally) saw it too.

monday 5: motel

The police scanner informs them that there’s another victim when it’s three p.m., they’ve just checked in at the motel and they haven’t eaten since breakfast.

monday 6: jealous

Nora had set Castiel up on a blind date with a really nice guy once.

monday 7: thunderstorm

One moment they are speeding up on the empty road with the windows rolled down and the sun shining on the side mirrors and the next is as if someone threw a blanket over the sky.

monday 8: hope

There they are, under the blazing sun in an abandoned parking lot. Castiel has to leave.

monday 9: undercover

Something went wrong. Dean’s got his back against a wall and a knife at his throat and the girl that’s holding it seems like she knows exactly how to use it.

monday 10: paradise

Every other week Dean drives up to North Cove and finds himself on the doorsteps of the little cottage James Novak rented for Kelly Kline.

How I’d fix the SPN finale (from a fan with 0 writing knowledge):

Cut out the 20th episode and make 15.19 longer

Before Jack leaves have Dean ask for Cas back. They reuinite

Sam runs back to Eileen and they have a sweet reunion.

Montage of Sam & Eileen quitting the life, getting married, having a family, etc. Basically what the finale did but make it ACTUALLY happy. (I mean, what’s this about Sam not being able to so much as touch the Impala’s wheel without having a breakdown years after Dean’s death??) He has the domestic dream he always wanted.

Meanwhile we get shots of Cas and Dean continuing to hunt and drive around in the Impala. No more ‘world ending’ enemies looming over their head. Just the two of them out on the road, werewolf here, ghost there. Just some good old fashion hunting, the kind of stuff Dean loves.

Ideally Dean and Cas are explicitly shown to be together but even under the assumption that the can’t have an overtly Bi Dean (which I mean... wtf it’s 2020 why not?) This could still work? And would be ambiguous enough to get past network restrictions? I’m just saying if the writers really wanted a queer couple in the show they would’ve found a way of doing it

Maybe add a few scenes of them visiting some side characters (ie Wayward Sisters) to tie in the whole ‘found family’ theme the show’s been so heavy handed with over the last 15 years instead of it just boiling down to ‘found family’s great but like, they’re not ACTUALLY family like Sam and Dean are so they’re not as important’

I get the writers didn’t want to have ‘any loose threads’ and wanted to keep as much ambiguity out of it as possible but that doesn’t make for a satisfying ending! Give us SOME ambiguity, let us imagine that these characters live out happy lives for years after the show’s end. Them being happy in Heaven is not the same thing

The dog can stay, he’s great.

My issues with the ACTUAL spn finale:

Couldn’t they just have invited people to Dean’s funeral? Like.... Did it really have to look SO lonely? Again for a show so bent on hammering home the theme of found family shouldn’t Dean’s funeral have had a bunch of people? Wayward sisters, alt. bobby, alt. charlie, garth, Jack....... Anyone? Nah it’s just Sam and the dog, glad to see that after years of 'finding family’ no one cares about Dean’s death except Sam and a dog he’s known for like a week and a half

Also you know what’s fucked up? Dean was by far the most affected out of all the characters upon finding out how much control Chuck had over everything he did. Like... It really fucked him up. So ok, God’s defeated and Dean finally has some autonomy. He can breathe easy, he’s won, he’s his own man and this time he’s sure of it. Wait, what’s that? He dies literally a WEEK LATER? Excuse me? You’re telling me all that trauma and existential crisis and he got a single week as a reward for coming out on top?

Also that whole Cas induced ‘i’m not a killer’ revelation kinda feels less impactful knowing it only lasts a few days and then he dies (admittedly this one’s just a bit nit-picky but I mean...)

Also idk but it just feels kinda wrong for Dean- a character who’s been repeatedly shown to have 0 regard for his own life and seems hell bent on sacrificing himself especially the last few seasons- to just die like that? I mean, if anything It seemed like he’d have to learn to value his own life as part of his greater story arc (you can kinda see echoes of it all the way back from S1). I guess this kinda ties in to the last point with the added weight that he only gets killed off once he accepts that he’s good, full of love and deserves to live. Idk especially with how many times Sam’s had to talk him off of ledges these past seasons it just feels kinda ghoulish to me.

To show us the Harvelle Roadhouse in heaven but make 0 reference to my girls Ellen and Jo is an actual crime and I will sue

Also why the hell was the vamp chick from S1 here? Like... what? I mean of all side characters to include (especially the one-off s1 background characters) why her? Honestly if you’d told me someone from S1 was getting brought back I’d’ve guessed Cassie but even then I don’t think the series finale is the right place to be like ‘hey remember THIS character?’ especially not when major characters like Cas get ZERO screen time

You know the worst part? It would’ve been so easy to make the ending good? Or at the very least ok? Like, with just 3 changes: [1] It’s made clear that Sam ends up with Eileen (I’m still not clear if that was her or some rando in the montage) [2] If they’d directed Jared in a way that presented Sam as happy or at the very least nostalgic instead of just horrible scarred for the rest of his life (I’m still so angry at that last Impala scene wtf) [3] If they’d just snuck Cas in to a single scene with Dean in heaven, even if it was hug I don’t think I’m asking for that much

Also I find it funny that the entirety of Sam’s life occurs over the span of a single drive. So what, a 20 minute walk and then Dean II shows up in heaven? They sit down for a burger and guess what? It’s Dean II’s kids! I just find it funny that lifetimes pass so quickly in heaven time, meaning that they’re just gonna be constantly flooded with new people all the time and never get anything done cause ‘Dad, I’d like you to meet your great great great great great-’

Maybe spend more than $0.03 on the aging prosthetics

Also didn’t Sam’s death feel kinda... off? I mean I’m gonna have to reiterate the whole lonely ending thing is weird in a show all about found family. Anyways the entire interaction between Sam and Dean II felt odd. Sam’s there, dying, by himself until Dean II walks in and, completely unprompted and without a trace of emotion, tells his dad that he can go ahead and die now. Couldn’t they have edited that scene so that it starts with Dean II already at his bedside? And I mean 0 disrespect to actor for Dean II (for all we know it could’ve been directed/written this way) but couldn’t he have been a bit more choked up about his dad dying? Like... Even a little?

#supernatural #15.20 #supernatural finale #spn #God it could've been great #Idk I've known spn was a pretty bad show for a while now #But it's like that one train wreck of a friend you know?#You still love them deeply and can't help but keep hoping for more and then getting brutally disappointed #Every time #But hey I guess this was the last great disappointment huh?#Quick show of hands whats the over-under on us getting new episodes 4 years from now a-la sherlock?#Asking for a friend

i was reading ur alt s6 stuff and i think they fumbled the heaven and angels plots so badly in s6 and the following seasons so much because they simply didn't care about heaven at all. they wrote it because they needed cas to be Away and Busy. partly because of the superpowered character thing and partly bc of the dean thing. so instead of actually thinking anything through they would set up and knock down angels plots so cas would always be off chasing something 1/3

pi KNOW they were worried about having such an overpowered character with suddenly no qualms about being loyal entirely to them, but the solution to that is to simply make him human. there is so much to explore there and he wouldn't be useless - his knowledge alone would be incredibly useful, not to mention his connections. he would be the anya (from buffy) of spn - has a bunch of comic relief moments but also bc he's new at humanity & played as autistic he can cut through the bullshit by 2/3

simply questioning things that are taken for granted. which would help both boys question their status quo's and continue to grow instead of falling back into the same brother drama over and over and over again. anyway this all started because i was commenting on how the spn writers had zero interest in heaven but i guess i ended up opposite of where u are and i propose getting rid of heaven politics altogether and bring cas down to earth lmao. but anyway i love reading ur alt s6 stuff! 3/3

okay so, i have my own theories on the specifics of why the angel shit happened the way it did, but yeah you’re mostly right. basically: i think s6, specifically, suffered more from “sera gamble is a bronly” disease than “we need to get rid of cas for uhhhhhhhhhh reasons” disease.

i actually wouldn’t mind if s6 was a jeremy carver style “we need to get rid of cas for uhhhhhhhhh reasons” plot, that’s actually basically what my season six au is! like my au is in many ways “what if season six, but carver style (but good because carver is incompetent as a writer and showrunner)?” like, i think fundamentally the problem with the angel bullshit in carvernatural is threefold. first, carver’s seasons were just, like, bad, because carver was a bad showrunner. like, he was a heller, he loved cas, he intentionally queercoded dean so hard that i’m shocked he didn’t get shut down by the network, but he was a bad writer and showrunner. reason number two is that he was always trying to separate cas from the bros but never for like..... reasons that made sense. it was all kind of manufactured conflict, or a lot of it was. plus i feel like once cas has lost his wings it makes more sense for him to actively try and stick w the bros, vs before that it does make sense that he’d be off doing his own shit. and then the third, biggest reason why the carver seasons angel bullshit didn’t work was fucking! because godstiel was SO critical to all the angel bullshit but sera gamble didn’t give a shit and made a hash of the worldbuilding!

like, i actually really like angel stuff because i am, in my heart, a star trek fan, i love stories about governments and bureaucracies and diplomacy and politics and espionage and institutions. and the only real place for that on spn is heaven. hell, that’s actually why a lot of the heaven stuff feels out of place: the basic vibe of spn requires that governments not exist. this is something i’ve always found kind of galling about spn, actually, BECAUSE i love stories about governments. but heaven politics can be that, so in my spn it will be because i think it’s sexy.

but like, no, the problem with season six specifically is first and foremost that sera gamble is a bronly, and only cares about cas insofar as he affects or illuminates the brothers, which is CRAZY given that he was the one having the character arc in season six.

but also i do agree with you. if i was allowed to cause the show to go totally au after or mid s4? i would completely be like..... keep angels as fucked up and mysterious and inhuman as possible and just nerf cas and then keep him fucking nerfed. i actually made a post about this a million years ago where i said if i could make like, a couple things about spn good good instead of like, spn good, then one of those things would be angels and keeping them big and scary and other. and the best way to do this is never have them play too big a role and to keep cas fucking nerfed.

also, i LOVE the concept of cas as the anya of spn fkjgneirjgneign

SPN 15x03: A Few Thoughts

*walks onstage*

There’s a lot to cover this episode. Finales are kind of like that. Because make no mistake, The Rupture is as close to a spiritual successor of Swang Song as we will ever get in this series. From the callback visuals in Rowena’s fall to the devastating character loses experienced by our leads. The entire episode is a redux of the season five finale, except this time others are making the sacrifice the Winchesters “should” be.

Which is part of the reason I find it bitterly hilarious the boys think they’re done.

I pointed out a couple times in my previous reviews that the tone of this season has been...tense to say the least. There’s this inescapable feeling we’ve intentionally seen all of this before. Like in addition to fucking with the Winchesters, Chuck’s decided to take his shit out on the viewing audience as well. It’s why I pointed out in my two parter that (like Dean) I was ready for the shoe to just fucking drop.

And it did. And the game has changed.

Losing fan favorites (and not so favorites) is hardly unusual. In fact, it’s practically SPN tradition. Charlie. Bobby. John. Crowley. Kevin. Almost all of them sacrificed themselves to fix TFW’s mess. And it isn’t that those sacrifices aren’t noble or they didn’t mean anything. But, there’s always been this air of resignation in the act. This tiny (or in Kevin’s case not so tiny) seed of blame that keeps online fan communities yelling at each other into the wee hours of the morning. We feel for TFW and the people we’ve lost, but we also can’t help but recognize the choices (stupid, reckless, brave, and sometimes the only ones available) that led to those deaths.

This was the first time in a long time I haven’t felt that. The current apocalypse has nothing to do with it. It’s not born of a selfish, TFW split decision. It’s a whiney response to a genuine act of contrition and forgiveness ....you know, those things god is supposed to want from people.

But I am getting off track.

There’s something absolutely devastating in the selection of characters we lost. Now, I’ve never personally been a huge fan of Ketch, given how much of an utter bastard he was for the British Men of Letters. While I appreciate the steps he eventually took towards redemption, he’s mostly been a lukewarm, utility character to me. There is something to be said, though, in his reflection of Dean. Some of the best and worst qualities of Dean are present in Ketch. His loyalty, which is shown to be a dangerous force if given to wrong power. His skill in battle. A blatant disregard for most rule of law...In many ways Dean is the man Ketch is unconsciously striving to be had Chuck-pocalypse never occurred.

I have, however, been on team Rowena since the very beginning. Even as a villain she was a fabulous character. There was always an element of humanity to her even at her most selfish. But, one of the things I loved most about her was her relationship with Samuel.

Fuck Destiel. Fuck Sam and Ruby. This is the ship I will go down with in SPN. In part, it comes down to the great natural chemistry between Jared and Ruth. Yet, the characters also really did share a unique understanding. Both knew more about each other than they were willing to share with anyone else in the universe. They supported each other even if they occasionally had to talk each other down from terrible decision making, and there’s evidence throughout the series of the trust they had in each other.

What hurts most about Ketch & Rowena’s deaths is that they died for the Winchesters not because of them. They made their choices so the boys wouldn’t have to. I mean take one look at Rowena’s face during Belphegor’s “plan” and the fact she tapped Sam as her assistant. She knew the only way this was going down was her death and that was her plan from the beginning. Ketch, meanwhile, finally surpassed Dean by realizing the one thing Cas was trying to explain last episode. What matters is the characters and what they mean to each other and it’s worth dying for.

The thing the boys don’t seem to understand (magic god-bullet accidentally trapping Chuck aside) is that this apocalypse isn’t a single world-shattering event. Like any good writer, Chuck knows his characters. He knows what bonds sustain them. Rowena has been willing to die to save the world since the return of alt-Michael (she said yes in a bid to kill him with Sam, fight me on this). Chuck simply provided the situation so she could do it again. He knows what buttons to push to slowly destroy the boys. By turning the love of their friends into a weapon against their support network. It’s as vindictive as it is clever.

Which brings us at last to this episode’s figurative namesake. I’m not going to defend Dean’s response to Cas at the end of this episode but nor am I going to villainize him. As both he and Cas made clear to Belphegor, Jack was their son. Right now what we are witnessing are two parents who have lost a child. Both are responding in natural ways and it’s not uncommon for the loss of a child to drive couples apart.

Belphegor as a character makes little sense. World-shattering event happening and a “low-level” demon is going to take over hell? Bull and shit. The thing Belphegor could do, however, especially wearing Jack, is add to Cas & Dean’s grief. By forcing Cas to smite him wearing Jack’s face, he made him live through Cas’ worse case scenario pulling the trigger himself. I mean, does no one else find it interesting Cas’ mojo returned in that precise moment? Right after we were told using the rook would make Belphegor god-like strong? And under any other circumstances, Cas would have had the boys support in changing the plan. But we know from last episode that Dean’s grief is formulating as undirected anger. Well, that anger now has an inadvertent direction.

My point is, I had guessed Belphegor was part of Chuck’s overarching plan and it turns out I was right. He used him to break one of the tentpole relationships supporting the Winchesters. The question is, where do we go from here?

As this episode ended I was reminded again of Cas’ “We are.” It’s a simple phrase, but one that carries a lot of thematic meaning. I have no doubt it will be what echoed once more in the mending of Dean & Cas’ relationship. I only hope it isn’t the last words they say to each other.

But the more pressing question is what’s going on with Billie? Death, the Empty, and now Jack don’t seem to fall within Chuck’s range of control. With Rowena now dead, one wonders if she’s been brought into this Supernatural cabal “underground resistance”. Part of me really doesn’t want that since her death, though painful, was an elegant end to a beautiful character arc. The other part of me can’t wait to see what her, Amarra, and Death as best friends would do to Chuck.

Conversations With The Commissioner: Crappy Monsters In Barber Shops, a.k.a. Nash's First Headcanon + Wine = The Image I’ll Never Be Able To Top

@lipstickandwhiskey kindly thought to tag me when she saw a jovial post that reminded her of my disappointment in the lack of dinosaurs in the *alternate world and hoped to cheer me, but little did she know [mainly because I completely brain farted on posting this way-back-when] this had been addressed. In an objectively bizarre way. Admittedly.

FYI: Spit-take warning in effect, also cursing, should you choose to carry on

Preamble

* Dear SPN Writers' Room*: I'm not calling it The Bad Place, because I'm done with y'all ripping from other stuff, in this case, a beyond phenomenal show - hey! you do recognize carefully crafted season arcs when you see it! - even if y'all thought it was a homage, it's not since viewers of the show "The Good Place" already know about The Bad Place and it's not a physical nightmare, it's a psychological nightmare.

Pay. Attention. Stop ripping from well-known pop culture shit without (1) making sure the “homage” is used correctly, (2) double-checking that something similar hasn't been done before and, if so, (3) adding your own cheeky-sneaky spin. Not doing so makes you look, at best, like hacks, at worst, like doofy dipshits, particularly when it is from shows in your same genre - like a renowned show from the same fucking network that hadn't even ended their run but a year and a half prior to when yours started - and wrapping up *your* season with a title that was an iconic element from an iconic show [it was iconic, for several reasons, that's an essay for another time] which was the basis for everything from a/possibly *the* pivotal moment in the series and which was tied to many of the composer's pieces for the soundtrack, as it was a central thread. TV Tropes is your friend.

Tangentially related, while we're here:

[Shep as Romo Lampkin]

I digress.

The Background

The Commissioner and I pop a cork, start talking about the Wayward pilot. We don't say a word about the scripting or the acting [because if we do, I go down a Dolly Deadeyes road, and nobody wants that]. Rather, we do a deep dive on the things that resemble other things and postulate how this came to be. Not in the minds of the peeps behind it, no, the dive comes via what the youths call a "headcanon". I've never had one before, I don't think, and I'm proud this is the first.

Oh, and a housekeeping side note: While my observations/the conversing began that night, the main convo/legit start on the image at the bottom happened later on. This has been run through the Nash snark filter for funsies, which is why the tone is the same for the whole conversation as, in truth, I have little clear memory of a lot of this, and the time taken for the assemblage of the image took longer than a conversation's worth, since the beginnings were sponsored by wine but it had to be done, it's how I combat insomnia and after seeing the monsters, I needed to purge my feelings of.... well....

The Beginning

After a verbal review (an accosting-of, really) of both Well-Coiffed Predator in a Bane Mask and Dollar Store Doomsday from the Wayward pilot, we begin discussing theories on how exactly this came to be in the alt world. Everything below is based on (a) the fact that New!Kaia's outfit denotes the presence of some sort of killa shopping and/or a hella talented Matrix-obsessed seamstress in the alt-world, therefore why not additional styling like a salon, and (b) the fact that we were lit on wine.

And the Predator rip - who, in the concept art, does not appear rippy-offy, it should be noted - got that mask somehow. He's either homaging Bane all over his face [his own face, not the other-way-'round] or he's gotten hold of one of the real things, modded it a touch to account for the spread of his general mouth region. Seems their temp name is the generic supernatural/folklore catch-all that I was vaguely aware of - "Canid" - and that some dude who's apparently of import on the show hates it, and I concur because all I can think of when I see the name is Candida. The Commissioner asked for a reminder, and I explained what that infection was and that now upon learning the creature’s name, I looked upon it as a yeast infection made sentient. The copious amounts of viscous discharge helps that along.

This then got a general science light bulb to pop, and we again consulted the googles, and boo-yah:

It's a dog. That. That up there, that I linked to. A daaaawwwwg.

No, not a if-this-is-a-dog-then-what-does-the-owner-look-like, maybe-they're-just-disgruntled-puppy-mill-alums type of WTF. The WTF is because I, once again, am wondering if at any point people over yonder are bothering to check shit out with this cool new thing called google. I know. It's a novel suggestion.

Somebody sure as shit used said googlins for squid beak - it's a touch birdy beak, but nah, slimy squid goes better with the aesthetic - and I guess they had to, as they already gave the far superior on the creepy scale pacu teeth to the Dollar Store Doomsday.

Because we were sneery and feeling gross at this point, we needed something fun, so we refilled on wine, and decided to make a mash-up image of the “inspirations” [to be clear: The Commissioner decided I should make a mash-up]. We were also feeling gross after looking at all that above, so for an eye sorbet, we needed some pretty, and STAT. We both instantly knew what would do the trick.

We start the conversation with Bane.

The Conversation

[looking at still from that Batman movie Bane was in; neither of us have cared to clarify which of the Nolan B-mans it was, because we don't care]

The Commissioner: He is so smooth, like, everything, even the fit of the clothes.

Nash: I'll never forget his turn as young Picard in that shit 'Trek movie, what was it called?

[we do not look it up; digression discussion of the awesomeness that is Sir Patrick Stewart]

TC: What's in his hand? Is that a riding crop? Or a shuffleboard thing?

N: Yes, exactly, Bane took a break from beating up Batman to shuffle. Nooooo. He got drug away from riding his horsey----

TC: YOU MUST MEAN HIS STALLION - if he rides horses, they are buff

N: ---to bring the mask, and is he pissed about it?

TC: No. No, because he is a dollbaby - he loves dogs.

N: You're mixing Tom Hardy with Bane.

TC: NO.

N: [realizing] BECAUSE THAT IS A DOG THING, THAT CREATURE IS DOG

[digression googles to look at pics/vids of Tom Hardy with pups]

N: Oh, no, wait - can we make it a putter? Like he was on his way to golf?

TC: But he still doesn't mind, because he's good guy Bane? And golf sucks? Oh hell yes.

[putter image sought; we go back to staring at Hardy, sip wine for untold moments]

N: And Preddie's all - Oh Bane, no! I couldn't possibly! Aren't these custom made? But he's gripping the shit out of it, like, pry it from my hands, bitches.

TC: And he takes a sniff when nobody's looking and swoons. *SWOONS*

N: Freaked-out stylist saw, though, and a touch of pee slips out, because it was weird before, but now shit's kicked off.

TC: Oh, she's already wet her pants at least once, absolutely. Do we need to add her?

N: No, she's in the bathroom.

TC: But you know who we should add.

[Image of 1990s Leonardo Di Caprio is immediately sought; we love the R+J still too much for words and select it with zero pause]

N: But why?

TC: You know he's gonna end up bopping around to other worlds anyhow, and for Bane to be here, there must be other rifts----

N: Low-Sugar Low-Fat Low-Calorie Eye of Saurons?

TC: ----so they're babysitting.

N: THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE [gulp of wine] Hey, you know who should be his foster parents if he’s bopping around to all points?

TC: Is it some side-character who's off-show at the moment? So we can get the show back to, um, Sam and Dean?

N: Chuck and Amara.

TC: You remember they're brother and sister, right?

N: [side-eye] Okay.

TC: They are. It's canon.

N: OKAAAY. [stares at Leo] Alright, what are we having him do? Satan's crotch goblin?

TC: [possibly disgusted with me] Pencils.

N: YES I KNOW WHAT TO DO they need to keep him busy so they just keep giving him piles of pencils to sharpen, and he's distressed because there's no more and the sharpener’s motor burnt out.

TC: [touch of a spit take]

[we stare at the collection of images; it is a bitch to find a clear shot of a Pred sitting, but we need him in a barber chair; I will ultimately cobble it from three separate images; it was worth every goddamn minute]

TC: Okay, now what about that thing? The thing? Deadpool?

N: No he was something else, that's Reynolds. Deadshot? Wait, hang on.

[we watch the Bob Ross Deadpool thing, maybe twice, I have no idea]

TC: What'd you say?

N: I dunno.

TC: Me neither I just remember thinking you were wrong.

N: [looks it up, or we'll be here all week] DOOMSDAY

TC: Stop, stop, stop - didn't we also say Lord of the Rings cave troll?

N: I can't remember if it was me or somebody else.

TC: Do cave troll.

[we search]

N: Holy shit. He's in the club.

[image chosen; best one is of him pointing; I later add the touch of a framed photo of King Kong that's inexplicably hanging in the barber shop, also next to it a photo of Captain Shitty Render]

N: But Doomsday.

TC: Do it.

[image chosen; this was also a bitch, I had to blur and cobble and blend and hide part of his bottom half because ZACK SNYDER LOVES SHOOTING EVERYTHING LIKE WE'RE IN A DANK CAVE]

N: They're so glad Bane pulls through, because Preddy won't shut the fuck up about him.

TC: It's because his last boyfriend was garbage, keeps hanging out with humans, and Bane's loyal, like he was to that chick from Inception, like----

N: LIKE DOG

[the bottle is empty; we are sleepy]

The Results

I regret not adding an aquarium with a squid.

The Aftermath

Both TC and my Tumblr wife @butiaintgonnaloveem had reactions that can nicely tuck under the umbrella of [in concerned tone] Nash are you okay, like, is life beating you down somehow, this is crazypants which I appreciate from the latter, but as for the former I pointed out that they are my enabler/dealer/peer-pressurer in every bit of this.

There is no end to this post.

Questions for me:

Rules: Always post the rules, answer the questions given to you, then write 10 questions of your own, and tag 10 other people.

I love being tagged in question stuff yay! Thanks @castiel-saved-me-from-myself. Also it’s 2:30 am and I’ve had 2 glasses of scotch - lets do this! (I hate to drop the previous posts but this thing was getting crazy long)

1. When you would you like Supernatural to end ? Hopefully never? But seriously, I hope they just end on a strong note. After 13 years we’re so invested in these characters, they deserve solid, fully resolved endings.

2. What you can imagine for the final end of Supernatural ? Ooh ok. So they end on the battle to close the gates of hell. Mary decides to make the sacrifice cause she’s super done after living in the alt world. Closing the gate it also how they solve the Lucifer problem for good. So there are no more demons and epic apocalypse things anymore. Kinda quiet. Eventually, Sam kinda stops hunting. Now that Dean has Cas full time, because of course Cas lives with them all the time now, Sam doesn’t feel super needed on hunts. He enjoys running the hunter network and researching magic texts from the bunker. After a while he decides to open up the bunker as an American Men of Letters *lite* teaching young hunters. Cas and Dean don’t mind because the they’re on the road a lot. In fact, they seem to pick hunts that are in scenic vacation spots and they spend extra time there. It takes Sam way too long to figure out that they’re a couple because neither says anything, and really, they kinda acted that way the whole time. One of the young hunters Sam’s training introduces him to their good-witch aunt. She’s around Sam’s age, studies how to magically fight evil, and she has 3 big fluffy dogs that just adore Sam. Dean rolls his eyes at the dogs asleep under the map table, but when no ones looking he can be found playing with them out in the garden that Cas started - for the bees.

3. When did you first discover Supernatural and how ? My mom insisted I watch it actually. We both loved Gilmore Girls so we’ve gave it a chance because of Jared. I stopped watching when I went to college, because no cable, but periodically came back it. After my mom died a couple years ago, I found an old text message from her calling me an assbutt - she loved that word - and remembered SPN. I went back and binged through 1-10 and have been strongly in the fandom ever since.

4. Would you keep watching Supernatural if destiel becomes canon ? Jesus fucking Christ YES. I might stop if it DOESN’T

5. Who is the person that is the ideal role model to you ? Honestly Misha. I feel cheesy saying it. But I feel like he lives so in the moment, really goes after the things he wants, isn’t afraid of being different, is committed both to his family and his career in the arts, and genuinely uses his powers for good to help people. I can’t think of a better role model.

6. If you could leave now from the place you are leaving what country would first choose to go ? Denmark! I have family there I’ve never met, and it’s a super awesome country.

7. If you met Jared, Jensen and Misha what would you tell them for the first time ? Oh gosh, I’d try not to flail, and I’d tell them thank you for all the work they’ve put into the show over the years. I’d also want to pick Misha’s brain about Supernatural and feminism and thematic tones with a sociological lens and literary criticism because he studied that shit.

8. What really Supernatural means to you ? It reminds me of my mother which makes me very sentimental for it. It also brought me to a new level of shipping. I never thought of myself as a shipper before, pouring over details to argue my case. So thanks SPN for letting me use my English degree. The author is dead, come at me.

9. What do you like most about Tumblr ? That, for the most part, it’s very uplifting. I used to Reddit a lot, but I found it made me angry and cynical. Tumblr makes me laugh and generally feel happy.

10. What is your point of view about life ? That’s a big question. I guess, figure out what you want and make a plan to get it. And when that inevitably falls apart, either pick a new goal or make a new plan. It’s not a failure to choose a new path, just a part of the experience. Oookay I’ve rambled enough. Time for my questions! I pick @catimenthe, @shinychimera, and @problemforfuturetech HAHA. 1. What was your first fandom, or thing you remember really being a fan of? 2. What video game have you spent the most hours playing? 3. What is your Meyers Briggs personality type and do you like it? 4. How do you take your coffee? 5. Fuck/Marry/BFF - Jared, Jensen, Misha (non SPN fam Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans)? 6. What is your favorite fan fic and why? 7. How did you end up on Tumblr? 8. If you could go back in time, when would you go? 9. What do you look for in a significant other? 10. What fictional character is the most you?

#tagged #i finally got tagged #It's now 3 am why am it here #but why sleep when I can ramble on the internets
