What you'll find here? Strictly Gen. Much of it pre-series; virtually all of it canon-based.
All of it about family. Often with monsters. None of them (the monsters) ever being John.

Yeah, yeah. My freaking fic list got to long for the character limits *headdesk* so I'm having to put the meta links in a separate post. Sheesh.

Happy birthday, Camille. Hope it's a great one.

This one is for seferin, who made me some really, really awesome icons from two Jeff clips I really wanted iconed. He wanted to see how John would respond to Castiel, and I actually wrote a MUCH longer story about exactly that --- one that turned into how John and Jim would respond to Castiel if Castiel showed up with nefarious intent toward Sam --- but it didn't want to refine itself just yet, so until it does, it's on my hard drive, marinating in its own angst. In the mean time, I decided to tell this one because it seemed to be willing to be told without turning itself into a fucking novel in the process. Because the whole "John/living" thing requires, logically, for Castiel to be using someone other than Jimmy as a vessel, if you're looking for a John-Castiel interaction that looks a little more like Jeffrey Dean and Misha, you might try Leave No Man Behind, which is a VERY different story, and also one in which John is not living, so Castiel need not be in a vessel other than Jimmy.

So anyways ...

At the risk of bringing more attention to it than it deserves or might otherwise enjoy (I know, I know. Never argue with an idiot; the people watching might not be able to tell the difference), I just gotta share something with y'all. I don't know (and don't care) if it's been up for a month or a month of Sundays, but I just ran across it in the wee small, and it amused me enough to prompt a little screencapping for posterity.

( So Who Put the Burr in HER Panties? )

Yo, y'all. I'm out for a while on business. No idea when I'll be back ... maybe a week or so? In the mean time, carry on without me brave soldiers. I know you'll make me proud blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Okay. I give up. Riddle me this, my friends. How, EXACTLY, did Supernatural manage to make this man:





NOT look like a young John Winchester? WTF?!? He totally looks like a young John Winchester here, but in "In the Beginning"? Not so freakin much so. Takes real talent to cast someone who actually LOOKS the part and then make them NOT look the part. *headdesk*

Anyways ...

Just a wee little post right now because I've got a story getting ready to break in a couple of days. About the fella right up there, as it so happens ... something that got a lot easier to imagine once I saw him actually LOOKING like John. Particularly given that the setup I was writing to as a thank you for some exceptionally awesome icons involved requiring myself to find some common ground between my vision of post-Nam John and In the Beginning's version of that same guy (hello ... NOT the same guy ... I'm jes sayin...). And seeing Matt THIS way sure helped me along in that regard.

Okay, I haven't laughed this fucking hard in eons. Sent to me by the awesome eldritchhobbit , here's a little full-on gansta-geek love for the hard-core Trekkers amongst y'all. Definitely NWS! so turn your volume REALLY low or wait until you're in safe haunts before you click (and obviously ... spoilers for the new Trek flick). But seriously. It is one fucking hilarious (and brilliant) thing. Be sure to scroll down along with the music when you hit the site ...

The one where the parrot and the cat took turns making lunch for each other, and the cat ate the parrot because the parrot didn't provide a substantial enough menu for her tastes. I have NO idea why that story appealed to me so much as a kid, but I used to read it all the time, My sister read it once and told me I was the strangest and most morbid kid EVER. LOL. If she'd only known then how I would grow up now ...

I also used to love/hate Thumbalina. I had a record of that one and listened to it every once in a while, but it always made me cry (as in SOB cry) because the toad stole Thumbalina away and she never saw her mother again. I understand why THAT one got to me perfectly.

jdsgirlbev : Happy Happy Joy Joy on your Birthday, g'fren. I've got the fire brigade on high alert that the cake will be burning at your house tonight, so if big boys with big hoses show up looking like they're on a mission, for God's sake, open the fuckin door and let 'em in.

Hoses being a euphamism, I assume you realize. ;)

LOL. But of course I am. ANYone from my old Trekker days could have told you that (Amy?). Although, if they'd included Voyager characters, there's no chance in hell I would have ended up as anyone other than Chak, Riker included.

I am not, however, ANY percentage either Captain Picard or Beverly Crusher. I want that noted in the official record. And I think it should up my Kirk percentage, too, that I'm willing to change the conditions of the test to avoid an outcome I don't believe in ... something Chak would have done, too, BTW.

I'm jes sayin ...

"You take it."

OMG! From a life-long Trekker, the new Trek movie is ...

MADE.

OF.

WIN!!!

Fudgin AWEsome, man. I was watching with my half-twitch fully engaged as I'd heard universally good feedback from a number of friends who I consider as bone-deep a Trekker as myself, but still, there are several involved in whom I had very little confidence and many, many reservations. All for naught. It rocked. I apologize for everything I ever said about JJ after Cloverfield. Not because I was wrong about Cloverfield, mind you; but rather just because he did such a fucking amazing job with Trek that he gets a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free-for-LIFE card!

If you haven't seen it? Go. Now. Seriously. Fudgin AWESOME.
