Jan. 6th, 2009 04:49 pmThis is not about the SPN spoiler(s) or the LJ crisis, because I for one am content to just wait and see what happens. Seriously, let's all just chill the fuck out, okay? Read
fandomatemylife's pie!fics, they're gen but so quietly sweet and heart-warming that I've come to think of them as the feel-good fics of Dean/Castiel fandom. :)
I will say, though, that it baffles me why most of fandom seems to think Castiel is clueless to the point of needing Dean to teach him how to put various items of clothing on or eat or what-have-you. Yes, he's an angel, yes, humanity is exotic and foreign to him, but there has been absolutely nothing in the scripts or in Misha's acting to indicate that he is anything less than capable of functioning in his human vessel. I can see the cuteness factor in having Dean teach him these things and I understand the appeal, but sometimes I can't help but feel mildly insulted on Castiel's behalf at the notion that, despite his vast wisdom and the many millennia he has spent watching humans, he can't figure out how to put shoes on. :P
Anyway, can I just point out that MY SHOW STARTS IN TEN DAYS, holy frakking shit, I have been waiting for this day since June and it's finally almost here and omgomgomg YOU GUUUUYS, MY SHOW. I'm excited and terrified and I'm dreading the end but I can't wait and just, if I happen to die in a freak accident on my way back to school in a couple of days (yes, returning early because that's where Amazon shipped my DVDs to, shut up), my entire existence will be reduced to a gigantic cosmic joke and somebody better come visit my grave to tell me who the final cylon is. And maybe like, bring a laptop with the episodes on them, that would be nice too, I'd love you forever. If I wasn't, you know, dead and all. Uh, I should probably quit this entry while I'm ahead.
ETA: Oh, oh, one more thing I forgot to mention: Sign up for the 'Secret Angels' fic exchange at
deancastiel before tomorrow! There's a pretty decent turnout so far, including some writers I love, so I am really excited about this, omg. Still debating over whether I should, though, even though it won't be anonymous for me and I did sort of promise myself not to pile on unnecessary deadlines. Maybe I'll pinch hit at the end or something, hmm.
