We Should Call The Internet And Find Out As Much As We Can.
I just checked my phone and discovered that I'd apparently written the line 'You'd think, with all Rimmer's interest in military history, he'd be keener to be executed by firing squad' on it, with no context, at six in the morning.
Did I think this was a line I could use in a Red Dwarf fic? It's hard to imagine a context in which it would be appropriate, given that Rimmer is already dead for the vast majority of his screentime.
Here are a handful of notes I've made here and there while watching Supernatural, between seasons nine and twelve, because apparently I'm still slowly working through Supernatural!
Supernatural 9.02, 'Devil May Care': that was a pretty hot scene between Dean and Abaddon. (I made this note so long ago that I cannot remember this scene at all, but I'm going to trust my past self on this one. Knowing myself, I suspect it involved blood.)
When speaking to Ezekiel-in-Sam's-body, Dean always looks like he's painfully aroused and really uncomfortable with it.
I'm confused by how much I wanted Ed and Harry to kiss in '#Thinman'. It was a lot!
There's almost no Ed/Harry fanfiction! What?? I'm genuinely surprised by this. I thought Supernatural fandom had everything! It's not as if Ed/Harry doesn't have a solid basis in canon!
I can't believe it took so long for anyone to call Castiel 'Asstiel'.
'Everything you have, I will watch it burn,' Rowena says to Crowley. Rowena, it's Hell.
I'm predictably fond of Claire, the angry teenager making terrible decisions.
11.11, 'Into the Mystic': I love Eileen and Mildred, I love that they defeated the banshee together, and I hope they end up becoming a hunting duo. (Also, I was mildly disappointed that Dean and Mildred didn't bang.)
Season eleven has managed to perk up my interest in Supernatural a little, when it had struggled to engage me since season eight! I'm liking the writing of the boys more than I have in a while.
Season twelve: I like Mick a lot more than I expected to at his first appearance! He kills people but feels very bad about it, which is exactly what I want in a character.
Goddammit, and then he got killed in the episode I was watching when I wrote that. I really, really liked him! 'Wow, I think Mick's the single Supernatural character I'm most invested in right now,' I thought, twenty minutes before he was unceremoniously shot.
I can't believe the last couple of episodes I watched shot Mick up into the position of my favourite Supernatural character, and then just shot Mick. I loved him and he was only in five episodes and this is an outrage.
While I'm under a spoiler cut, a few other spoilery notes I've made here and there:
Misha Collins was clearly having a whale of a time playing Lucifer and I was slightly sorry when he switched vessels.
Mary Winchester is great and I like her enormously.
Sam and Dean say to two hunters named Walt and Roy that they haven't seen each other 'since you killed us', and they've died so many times I genuinely can't remember when this happened. 'Dark Side of the Moon', maybe?
OKAY, NOTES OVER, BACK TO BEING SAD ABOUT MICK. I thought Supernatural had lost its ability to get me invested; if only I'd been right! Maybe I should rewatch the FIVE EPISODES he's in and see if there's scope for fanfiction.
The trouble with Supernatural is that the stakes have been so relentlessly high for so long that I've more or less run out of emotional investment. Can't we occasionally just be trying to save a person? Does it always have to be the whole of creation?
I think this might be a preference of mine for stories in general, actually; small, personal stakes tend to grab me more than save-the-world tales. I'd like to see small stakes more often in JRPGs.
