gigglemonster posted an spn promo and normally I don't [ever] watch them, but this one I did. Am I the only one who thought ( spoilers? wtf, idk )

I was going to do that music meme, and started to type it all out and everything, but I think I have wasted enough of your time for today. Thanks.

I'm pretty notorious for having the least popular opinions you can have in fandom. I'm not sure why. And it's not as though I'm trying, it just is, you know? It would be far easier for me if this weren't the case. I am this way because Jacob made me this way, by the way.

PROOF

→ I can't bring myself to write and [generally] don't desire to read 80-90% of canon pairings. It's a disease. Which may or may not be contagious. *coughs on you*

I can't help it that I chronically multi-ship. My motto? Make me believe. That is all I ask. [I'm not sure if that part is terribly unpopular.]

→ [I often still enjoy the canon representations of the pairings that I don't read/write in fic.]

→ We've discussed my relationship with Juliet from Lost, yes? Everyone loves her. Me, not so much. [I also had major issues with Charlie, Ben, and Locke.]

→ The same goes for Eric from True Blood. And the Sookie Stackhouse book series. And I'm on book four. I'm pretty sure he's the most popular character next to Sookie herself.

→ Everyone seems to be really liking Glee. Whereas I watched the first half-hour the other day and quit halfway through, call it lack of sleep mixed with lack of interest. Maybe the 2nd half makes up for it?

→ If my phone hadn't died I'd still be voting for Kris Allen. Have I mentioned I don't actually watch the show?

→ I prefer Ronon/Sheppard to McShep. [But I still like McShep!]

→ Misha Collins kind of gives me the heebs. Fine, I said it! [Feel free to use icons of him when you respond to this post, Dayl.]

→ I am sure there's more I can't think of at the moment. How does one pick examples from their perpetual state of being? It all just runs together. I'm damn contrary, okay?

→ Feeling okay this morning. I should have set my alarm to get up on time so I could make up some hours at work. Fooey.

→ I wanted to review the first two episodes of Pushing Daisies and Friday Night Lights, but that's like... four? whole episodes, and I'm way too lazy for that, so here's a brief bit of... squee, if you will.

If you think about it, these shows fall on opposite ends of the spectrum. One is high fantasy, very fairy-tale like, and one is very grim and reality-based. (Even moreso than regular dramas, if you watch it, you know what I mean.) But what they have in common is that both of them are gloriously executed. I don't think there is a night on TV right now that surpasses Wednesday in terms of the awesomeness and quality that comprises these two shows. They make me happy. They make me feel. Basically what I'm saying is... Yay! Pushing Daisies and Friday Night Lights! For fitting as much awesome as humanly possible into one hour of TV. Thank you, Thank you.

→ zelda_zee called my attention to this meta by xparrot which is about different fannish types and how we're all getting something different out of the shows that we watch. I thought it was very interesting and insightful. I think I'm a little bit of both types suggested. I think I weigh in on the intellectual side, but there's a good chunk of the emotional fanning going on over here too. Obviously I have favorite characters (though not with every show, several of my shows I simply love everyone!) but I tend not to have OTPs. I tend to multi-ship my favorite characters.

Actually, this reminds me of a post that chloris67 made the other day about OTCs (or favorite characters) and multi-shipping but then simply having one OT3 (Jawyercita, Kara/Leoben/Sam...) it's pretty unrelated to the fannish types discussion, but here's a link. Because it's interesting!

→ I finished reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (the first of the novels that True Blood is based on) and have started the second. ( minor book and show spoilers, all about Sam )

→ I'm having woes about Supernatural. I quit the show and I'm perfectly happy with that. But it seems I can't escape it either way. I guess over the summer I'd forgotten how many of you (my flisters) watch and review that show. And, I'm not going to lie it's a bit overwhelming. (And yet underwhelming at the same time... if that makes sense.)

There are several varied and numerous reasons why I've given up that show for good, and I think I might make a giant post of reasons, maybe later today. (This post is getting too long.) But my point in bringing it up now, is that it does put this huge divide between me and my flist. At least when I hated the fuck out of that show last year I could still discuss and hate it with you. Now, A) I'm not watching so true discussion isn't an option and B) Everything about it infuriates me. I mean, we're talking Mrs. White, flames on the side of my face, breathing breath, heaving breaths, type hate. So yeah. DIVIDE. It's huge and un-ignorable, and frustrating. And I'm no longer making coherent thoughts. Ignore me.

Meme stolen from everyone:
When you see this, post another Supernatural quote in your lj.

Ruby: "I'm telling you the truth"
Dean: "And I'm telling you to shut up, bitch!"
Ruby: "I'm sorry, why are you even a part of this conversation?"
Dean: "Oh, I don't know, maybe because he's my brother, you black-eyed skank."

Okay, okay. I know I am pretty much out of the Supernatural fandom these days. But I found this quote from this buddytv.com article very amusing.

"We often say that Supernatural is, at heart, a love story between Sam and Dean."

- Cathryn Humphris, Supernatural writer (Dead Man's Blood, The Usual Suspects, Born Under a Bad Sign, Bedtime Stories, & Dream a Little Dream of Me

Yeah.

ETA: SPN casting spoilers in comments.

Been watching all of the fun Supernatural wank this weekend. And I won't even mention anybody's names because I will never ever have that shit on my journal, kay?

But I think it is really godsdamn hilarious that the people who usually revel in every bit of personal information (knowing about an engagement and how it went down, details about people's friendships and relationships, where people spend holidays, whose brother's having a baby and when, etc. etc.) are the same people who cry foul when it's something not so nice that people are gossiping about.

I'm not even talking about the validity of whatever it is. But whining about how these things are a private matter? I mean, yes, of course it is. But, what about all that other stuff? Doesn't that count too? Isn't that kind of hypocritical?

It's like, you can't have both. It's all or nothing, got it? Because nobody would be talking about any of this crap if fans like yourself didn't care so much about this shit.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone on my flist, it isn't the intent. But...

Holy.
Fish!
Ya'll!
Stop the insanity!

And if anybody needs me, I'll be in my bunk reading outdated articles about Callum detailing his personal life.

Soo...

How 'bout that finale, 'eh?
