It's Your Grief Counsellors; We've Come To Hug.

I JUST HAD A GIRL FROM MY COURSE OVER AND WE COOKED DINNER AND JUST-ONE-MORE-EPISODED OUR WAY THROUGH THE FIRST DISC OF SUPERNATURAL.

This totally warrants allcaps. I am insanely awkward around people in real life (and also cannot cook), so this feels like a gigantic social achievement. (She had never seen Supernatural before, and now she desperately wants to watch more! VICTORY. Also, at one point she observed that Dean Winchester sort of looked like Richard Hammond. It is obviously the eyebrows.)

Sam/Jess seems to become a little cuter every time I watch the Pilot, which is something I didn't really anticipate but certainly have no objection to. And I find it incredibly difficult to watch the Winchesters without exclaiming 'I LOVE THEM SO MUCH' about twice an episode, which is something I should probably try to keep under control when watching in company. (It distresses me more than it should when horrible things happen to them, and horrible things happen to them all the time.)

Also, I saw 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things' yesterday, and now my mind is pestering me with snippets of appalling necrophilia fanfiction. STOP IT, MIND. If you wanted to show me that there are worse things than writing Sam/Dean, you have succeeded! Please return to the relative normality of the incest.

It's sort of expanding in my head, so it will probably get written. I don't know what the fandom would make of it, because it has a complete and total absence of Wincest (and I'm only slightly frightened this will turn out like when I told you the "Richard goes to Silent Hill" fic had no slash; I was happy to let slash creep in there).

And my mind keeps going back and forth on whether it should be AU from about halfway through the pilot (allowing for the weird, "Haven't talked to him much lately," dynamic, and Sam feeling all bad about the things he doesn't know about Dean's life), or not AU at all (allowing for the MASSIVE COLLECTION OF TRAUMA they've accumulated since then).

Having seen Dean's, "No chick flick moments," line, and the whole, "I know I just said a bunch of stuff about watching my mom die as a kid and how it affected me that you've never heard before, but I have no intention of discussing it. Or hugging," I got the feeling he'd be very much one for Not Talking About It.

If anyone in Supernatural fandom reads this, and is going, "Oh, not another one of those fic," please tell me so I have an excuse not to write it.

Just link to this one from your journal too when it's done, honey ♥

Also, I particularly liked todays Girl Genius comic, which I suspect I have not addicted you to YET

Klaus and Gil Wulfenbach have a certain resonance in the family responsibility stakes ♥

You want to read it? That ruins my plan to write it, send it to Riona, and be done with it!

Okay, fine. I'll post it properly when I'm done, and let you read it, too.

I am quite thoroughly hooked on Girl Genius; I'm just not caught up yet.

And Klaus and Gil are a fascinating mess.

Here is an anecdote about my friend - let's call her Wednesday - who I went with to the animal rescue centre to "just look" at cats. Of course she came back having chosen two splendid specimens.

Meanwhile the MIB was helping her other half, the Godfather, to put up bookshelves - harder than it sounds in the quantities required - they managed NOT to put up the shelves so that they couldn't open the door to get out, but it was a close call. Their lack of surprise at what "just looking" at cats entailed was magnificent to behold.

Not writing any particular sort of fic seems to fall under the same rule - shall we call it Rule 17, since it is clearly halfway to Rule 34?

Telling people not to click on links is about as effective - and [livejournal.com profile] the_fun_monkey wants to read it too - so that makes three readers already.

Resistance is clearly futile ♥

Rule 17 works; I'm fairly sure I'm doing the 'not writing' thing wrong. In theory, it should involve less typing.

I've very pleased you are enjoying Girl Genius - pleased to have found something you like, pleased to have guessed correctly that you would like it, and pleased to have someone to squee about it with ♥

So pleased I had to get an icon ;-)
