~~Before I say anything else, is anyone going to Azkatraz looking for an HBP ticket? I won't be getting to San Fran till Friday, so I'm trying to sell mine..~~

Secondly,

deancastiel is doing an Author Commentary challenge, which more folks should totally sign up for. :D If anyone happens to be interested in my ramblings on a particular fic, please fill out this poll... (PWPs excluded because come on, they're PWPs.)

[Poll #1429101]

Thirdly, remember when we used to talk about Dean/Castiel all the time? What happened to that? :( Let's talk about Dean/Castiel! More specifically, let's talk about issues with the pairing, because I'm about 8k words into my first multi-part fic ever and I want to deal with all the issues...

1. Jimmy. One of the biggest issues, but pretty self-explanatory.

2. Dean is Not Gay.

3. Sam will always be more important to Dean than Castiel, whereas Dean will be at the top of Castiel's list (God doesn't count). Some probably don't think this is an issue, but I'm a romantic at heart and this bothers me a little, what can I say?

4. I'm not sure Dean has a whole lot of respect for Castiel, really, apart from that one moment of "omg want your babies" when Castiel said "Yeah, well, we're making it up as we go." Castiel started out on some level way above Dean's head (I'm an angel of the Lord) and at some point fell to somewhere way below Dean (you poor stupid son of a bitch). It doesn't seem to me like Dean's ever considered him an equal, not even really in the hospital scene. Particularly in Lucifer Rising, Dean talked to him like he was a child, and sure, Castiel does resemble one in some aspects, but it's not exactly conducive to a romantic relationship, you know? Or even a friendship. Dean and Castiel aren't even friends yet, IMO, and I, for one, think that needs to happen before they can fall in love and all that good sappy crap. Well, Castiel is arguably already in love, even in canon, but it'll take some work to get Dean there.

Anything else?

Lastly, a mini-rant: If people think Castiel is boring because he has the emotional capacity of a cardboard cutout, fine, I disagree and couldn't give less of a shit about what they have to say anyway, but it's a valid opinion. If they think Castiel has the emotional capacity of a cardboard cutout and thus clearly Misha is a shitty actor, then I would like to say this to those folks: Fuck you, and I pity you for lacking the intelligence to realize that he's doing it on purpose because it's part of the goddamned role. I have more respect for Sarah Palin's inability to tell the difference between a chunk of ice on the ground and Russia because at least she was mostly-joking. ugh.

...And I think that about fills my wank quota for 2009. \o/ (Woke up grumpy because it was a Monday morning, oops?)
