Dean/Castiel meta/essay/manifesto thing.
Dec. 28th, 2008 03:12 pmI am back! Almost got arrested, lol, but more on that later, after I'm caught up and stuff. Hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas, and please link me to things I missed! For now, here is a Dean/Castiel thing I wrote in between all the snowboarding:
This is something I've been thinking about ever since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitsu84 asked, at the Dean/Castiel friending meme, Why do you love Dean/Castiel? At the time I gave a short, sweet answer, but it's a question that deserves so much more than that.
I've tried, via fics, to show the world what it is I love about this pairing, but after toying around with more fic ideas, I've come to the conclusion that I can't write a fic that's powerful enough to really capture the essence of what draws me to Dean/Castiel. And I want to -- because even though this is a brand new ship and I myself have only been shipping them with any degree of seriousness for a little over a month, I've fallen so fast and so hard that I can't not try to share what I see in them with anyone and everyone who will listen, in the hopes that someone will understand. So, here is some meta instead.
( Part I: Ramblings of a Dean/Castiel shipper. )
( Part II: The shallow half of this post, a.k.a. obligatory and gratuitous pictorial evidence of eye!sex. )
I guess this turned into something of a manifesto, eh? Either way, I'm going to tag it as a discussion, because that's what I want it to be. Tell me what you agree with, what you disagree with, what you see in them, or even just that you read this and/or drooled over the pretty and thus I successfully made you spend a few minutes of your day thinking about Dean and Castiel. I love having people to talk to about them, and the more the merrier! :D
Oh, and I know I already posted this link awhile back, but it's fitting: that big conglomerate of all the Dean/Castiel scenes so far. Watch the beginnings of their epic love for yourself. ;)
ETA: ( Some intro-to-fandom recs! )
