Where is the love?

I was going to do a recap of the two final episodes, but I have read so many that I am just not up to the challenge of trying to write it differently. (I'm sure my thoughts will come through anyway). While lurking all over the fandom I have been  totally amazed at the harsh comments that I have been reading. This is the first time I have immersed myself in fandom during a season finale. Maybe this is the norm during hellatus but my poor innocence can't comprehend. So for this post I am going to try to be as unbiased as possible while voicing my opinions on some of these comments. 

Sera Gamble ruined the Supernatural finale/Castiel character!Bring back Kripke!#InKripkeWeTrust!

I wish people would do their homework instead of assuming Sera can be blamed for everything they don't like. Yes Sera wrote 'Let it bleed' but it was Kripke who wrote 'The man who knew too much'. So Castiel's character development from Angel to God is all his; and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it also involved Misha. I have it on good authority (me.I was there) that Misha, when questioned at the AHBL Oz Con about character development, that he would like to see Cas go darkside. That's not a direct quote, I haven't watched my dvd in ages, but that was the gist of it. Which leads to...

If Misha is not regular for Season 7, I am not watching! (I'm sure there is foot stomping going on)

Ladies you sound like my seven year old daughter. Get a grip! So it was confirmed he isn't a regular. But that means nothing. Jim Beaver has never been a regular and he was in more episodes this year than Misha. It makes sense to cut Misha from regular status budget wise. Misha will be returning for season 7 and I doubt they will kill him off in S7E1 as people are saying. Cas as God is a great development and I for one can't wait to see where they go with it  I am sure gonna miss my innocent angel but the bad ass new lord is god damn sexy!

Padalecki is a bad actor. His stupid faces put me off. They need to write him out! 

I can't be reasonable here. I read this today and my first thought was "Whoa b*tch! Back the f*ck up!". I don't know what the f*ck you are watching if you think Jared can't act. If you can't shed a tear when Sam cries, you are a heartless bitch. You will now be known as 'Soulless Fan'. If you can't love both J's, or keep the hate to yourself, just don't watch! Simple as that.

I hope they don't show Sam dealing with his time in hell in S7. It can't be as bad as Deans.

Here I am conflicted. Dean spent months in hell compared to Sam's what? A day? A few days? I want to see how Sam deals with it because it would be unrealistic to sweep it under the carpet. But I agreed with the "it can't be as bad as Dean's experience", for the simple reason stated above. Then I thought about it. Dean was not locked in the cage with a seriously pissed off Lucifer and Michael who had just had their plans thawted by   Team Free Will and only poor Sammy to take it out on. Face it, like all family, the brothers would have united against the common enemy. The fact that they were brothers at war 5 minutes beforehand be damned.

Castiel doesn't deserve forgiveness!

I am reading that Sam and Dean did what they did because they: 

a. Did it for the greater good. (Sam)

b. Had their back against the wall. (Dean)

Don't both these apply to Cas too? He did it to protect the boys. He went to Dean to ask for help and changed his mind because Dean had been through enough already. Sure it wasn't the greatest plan. But it was one that looked like it would work. I also can't help but put a little of the blame on Dean either. When it all came out, Dean should have listened to him. I'm sure if that would have happened, together, a better plan of attack would of been planned. On top of that he should get automatic forgiveness for not smiting Sam when he plunged that Angel knife in him!

Now for my own questions that are bothering me.

Is Balthazar really dead?

I sincerely hope not. I love Balthy and Sebastian Roche. It was pointed out that we never saw Balthazar's wings and I am hoping that a certain someone brings him back.

Is Cas really God?

I know Cas considers himself a better God, but I can't help but think that God should be all forgiving. Not a bow down to me now or I will turn you into soup Lord. I sure hope the other God re-enters the building and sorts his recalcitrant son out. As punishment he is to be locked in a room with the boys until they sort out their shit and hug it out!

This is going to be a loong four months.

Fanfic Friday

I tend to develop crushes on characters from most shows I watch. What can I say, it's my thing. It started many moons ago when I was about seven. My mum thought it was time to introduce me to 'Anne of Green Gables'. The gorgeous Gilbert Blythe came on that screen and my poor little heart was a goner!  That was the first of many tv crushes. But the tv crush that introduced me to fanfiction.net was Gio Rossi from Ugly Betty.  He left me wanting more...alot more than the writers were giving thats for sure!  So some lovely lasses introduced me to fanfic and after awhile encouraged me to write my own stories. I soon found out that I was a hopeless romantic and my  best works were total mush.

 I have never shipped any couples on Supernatural (though I liked the idea of Jo and Dean) so I haven't attempted any Supernatural stories. What never fails to amazed me is the level of talent that some of the fans were blessed with. I have read so many stories where I think, "That so needs to happen on the show!"  Plus any story that leaves me with a smile is a winner in my book.

 If I had known that one day I was going to start a blog I would have bookmarked my favourite stories. But alas I didn't. So I am going to start of Fanfic Friday with a feelgood Dean/Cass friendship story.
This story was written by Tribble Master and it's called Toy Soldier. A cute little oneshot based on the episode 'I Believe The Children Are Our Future' where Jesse turns Cas into a doll. (Two things - I am surprised that Jesse was never written into 'Swan Song' considering it was mentioned he had his part to play in the Good Vs Evil fight and he just disappeared...and I really want a Cas doll!)
Here is the link.

Give me the Castiel doll, because Edward is just lame.       

I have only recently become a closet Destiel fan. I have loved the way the characters have interacted since day one. But it wasn't until I came across this next fic that I started to see them in a new light. I am not one to like the hardcore stories. I prefer the sweet ones as this one is. It is written by ScottyFTW and is called Four Things Castiel Isn't Allowed To Do. Call me thick but it wasn't until the second thing that I had a Ah Ha moment and caught on to what was happening :)
Here is the link.
Enjoy the stories and feel free to send me your favourites. I love me a good story.
  

All aboard the Misha Express. Destination...Haiti.

I'm sure that by now everyone in the fandom knows all about Hope to Haiti. If not: Shame on Twitter Minions!   You should be promoting the hell out of your page.If you don't have one, promote someone else's! If you don't have Minion friends promote mine! <-- See what I did there ;-)
But for anyone who has been helping with the war in Heaven (anyone else think Castiel needs to skyjack some particular Navy Seals?) and has missed hearing about the project here is the short version.
On September 5th Misha did a charity run, 'Run Misha Run', to raise funds for the Earthquake torn Haiti and other charity needs at Random Acts. I pledged US$1/km. Misha ran 83km twittering all the way! (note to self: Never underestimate an earthbound angel) It took him 11hrs with pit stops to take photo's with cows and to tell us he pissed on his shoe!Read all about it here. It has pictures!
 This was followed up with a trip to Haiti where a dental clinic was built and orphanages were refurbished along with the great team at Random Acts. Skip to March this year and Misha tweets that he is going back to Haiti...and we can come too! All we had to do was join the Hope to Haiti Project at Crowdrise, fill out a profile and the first 40 to raise $5,000 through their page gets to come along! Sounds easy yes? Wrong! Now we get to my part in this.
 Living in Oz and needing to pay for your own trip automatically rules me out of the running. I checked. It would cost me $3,000+ just for my return flights to Miami. Not to mention the $900+ needed to pay for my Miami/Haiti/Accomodation package. Then spending money! It's a pipe dream. But Misha being the generous person he is, is giving out prizes to the people who raise $1,000. Yay! One of Misha's favourite books with a personal message (he bloody better not rip the last page out!), a cd of his favourite songs (Destiel based?) and some Random Acts stuff. WOOHOO I'm there!
So I joined up. I spammed my page everywhere. With only two bites,and they were random strangers. What the? Not even some support from my family and friends! Well I needed to step this up or that book would never be mine. That night I googled and googled for ideas. I must of had an angel cheering me on, because I fell in a goldmine...well stumbled onto a brilliant fundraising page! I get a brilliant 2 hour stage show and split profits 50/50 with the performer. I just had to have at least 100 people turn up. $20/ticket = $1,000 for Haiti.  I booked a hall yesterday and contracts have been signed. Stage show happening on the 4th of June. Want to know what my fundraiser is? I can do better! I will show you...

A hypnotist! Brilliant!..we have never had one come to our town before and I already have people telling me to reserve them tickets. This is going to be a sell out! I am hoping to raise $3,000 and I'm sure I will reach it easily now.
Any Aussie readers who want to see if they can get him for a fundraising night,his name is Greg Hudson and he's very popular. What is your fundraising idea?

Special bonus - The first 5 people to say g'day and leave their crowdrise Hope to Haiti link in my comments will get a $5 donation from me tomorrow/Wednesday - my time.

Don't forget to check out my page too. Link is on the left. Donate, friend me, give me points or just say hello.

Minion Made Monday

I'm starting a tradition. Every Monday I will post a video clip or three.It could be a fanvid,ConClip,my favourite scenes from the show or one of Misha's own uploads.I am a closet Destiel fan.In my real life everyone who knows me well knows of my obsession with Supernatural. No one knows that in my spare time I watch crackvids and read gay porn.I'm sure a couple of my closest friends would find it amusing,but I would be mortified.Without further ado here is this weeks offerings.

This is the first crackvid I found and still my favourite.So it is only right that I lead off with it.It is made by a talented lady called Ana.If you haven't checked out her site do so here. I can guarantee more of her vids will be shown here.

I love the look Cas gives at 1:07. Does anyone know what episode that was in?

My next clip is from the Jus in Bello 2 Convention. I was totally squeeing when I stumbled across this one. Misha and Jensen's infamous 'When Harry met Sally' re-enactment of the orgasm scene. I thought our AHBL 

Conventions in Australia was nothing short of amazing.But if this is what they are getting up to these days,then I can't wait for AHBL3 in 2012!

The last clip for this week is Misha's cautionary video.That man is just awesome and needs to make some more for our viewing pleasure.

If you have any videos you would like featured here or have a story you would like promoted on our Fanfic Fridays,send me a link to your creation in an email.

Then and Now

I have been a fan of Supernatural from the very first episode. I was (still am) a huge fan of Gilmore Girls and when I first read that Jared Padalecki (Dean GG) would be playing younger brother Sam Winchester on Supernatural,I knew I would watch the premiere.Then I read the premise of the show and knew I would be glued to my chair.At this time I had no idea who Jensen Ackles was.Which seems impossible to me now!

 Well of course the show was all I hoped it would be and left me anxious for the next episode. I can honestly say that has never changed.

Then the dilemma! Sam girl?Dean girl? Oh my!How are we meant to choose? I kept going back and forth,back and forth.Of course I had indepth discussions with my Supernatural loving BFF at the time (we shall call her BFFALW- Best Friend For A Little While).Funnily enough she was a Dean supporter all the way until Sam turned darkside. She loves her bad boys.At that stage I was a Sam girl too but switched sides because,"Dean needs some love."

 Poor Sammy was doing bad things for good reasons.How could I turn my back on him!I told her I could no longer choose.I loved them both equally.That night she dreamt (she had regular SPN dreams) that we were at a bbq all together and Sam decided he liked me better than her and I left with both Sam and Dean. She was devastated and may or may not of called me a whore : )


 Then Season 4 started.Dean was alive!I thought things couldn't get better.I was wrong! Castiel...the blue eyed angel walked through that door and I was lost! BFFALW tried shoving doubts in my head."He burnt out her eyes!He is evil!I'm telling you, is evil!" I couldn't believe that."Nothing that perfect could be evil.He saved Dean for Christs sake!" Yes my arguement was lame.But I had the faith Dean lacked. It didn't steer me wrong.He was an Angel of the Lord...*sigh*  I was to forever be a Cass girl.

 Jump 3 years and I am sure BFFALW is gloating at me now.I am waiting  for a 'I told you so' message on Facebook.But my faith still holds.I am waiting patiently for next weeks episode 'The man who would be king'. I know any bad deeds Cas has committed was done with the best intentions.The fact that he is doubting his actions prove that.I just hope that Dean and Sam support him when it all comes tumbling out.


 As for Misha's being renewed.I would be amazed if he hasn't. Of course no one can confirm it without ruining this seasons plot lines and possibly next seasons premiere. Even Misha's keeping mum on Twitter:


mishacollins Misha Collins 
I have good news & bad news. The good news is the reality show I like about the two brothers who take acid & hunt ghosts gets a 7th season.


mishacollins Misha Collins 
the bad news is... brace yourselves... they were out of my fleur de sel carmel ice cream at the grocery store just now. I am beside myself.


So are we Misha.So are we.


I have no theories on the souls and Sam's in particular as are all over the net.I know the writers will come up with something better than anything I could imagine.But I see the cliffhanger being Dean killing Cas for his wrong doings...Before I get hunted down...I see the premiere as,God has reappeared and brought Cas back.Even though he went about it wrong,it was after all to save Heaven. Castiel is pissed and hurt at Deans lack of faith in him.At that moment Dean is praying to Cass, (it is becoming a habit) full of guilt and wanting forgiveness from his friend,knowing it impossible now.That is when Cas appears and shows Dean his badass self.


What do you see happening in the cliffhanger/premiere?
