be_themoon+ Hey guys! the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
femgenficathon is running! sign-ups just finished a bit ago. I picked #17: The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way. The worst walls are the ones you put there--you build yourself. Those are the high ones, the thick ones, the ones with no doors in. --Ursula K. LeGuin (born October 21, 1929), present-day American author, particularly well-known in the science fiction and fantasy genres.
Now, clearly this is a VERY Susan quote, but I am considering writing about someone else, as I am a little Susan/Narnia-ed out. (Well, not really, but I don't know if I could write enough new material on Susan for it.) My options are varied, but I am considering a Criminal Minds lady, or perhaps Samantha Carter? I like the Leverage ladies too, and the SPN ladies! ANNA OMG she would be a good pick! but I do not know if I can write enough of her. I don't think I have a good enough handle on her awesomeness. Morgana, though I have watched, uh, almost none of Season 2? I feel a desire to write Doctor Who or Torchwood, toooo. GUYS I CANNOT PICK there are so many awesome ladies with so many barriers! HELP.
+ WHILE WE'RE ON SPN (even though we weren't) OMG 100 EPISODES I can't even. guys, this is the first show I ever started watching regularly, last year somewhere in the middle of Season 4, and I have been faithful ever since, and it has not failed me. by not failing me, I mean that it has gotten CRACKIER and CRACKIER in the awesomest of ways, with fanservice galore. They have even delivered some on ladies being awesome! though I would like more. I would ALWAYS like more.
and this episode! oh, this episode.I was SO pleased to see a lady angel in the background, even though she got blasted away a moment later, but it was nice to see proof that not all angels take male vessels. Castiel! Being Awesome! Sam! Being Just As Awesome! oh, SAMMY. this episode quite nicely finished my conversion to a Castiel-Sammy-Dean ordering, rather than a Castiel-Dean-Sam one. The blatantly-NOT-subtext was hilarious, and oh Castiel! so angry and pretty hopeless and fantastic and how does he just get even better looking and lol at him happening to Dean akshdglh. and SAM. you guys, I cannot express how much I love that Sam, the Designated Evil Brother, is the one who has turned into The Determinator. he's always been stubborn, but I love that he's re-channeled it and put it to better uses and oh SAAAAAAM. he's dragging his brother's dead weight into a battle already weighted tremendously against him, and his brother is being an ass to him, and Sam is trying SO HARD and being so amazing, and I am SO PLEASED that Dean finally woke up and smelled the roses, and there was Adam, which was fabulous, and there was FAMILY because even the angels know that the Winchesters are absolute suckers for family and there was Bobby being fantastic and omg there are only what four episodes left I cannot even WHAAAAT. WANT MORE.
if there is a Season 6, there had better be an attendant Castiel, doing his awesome knife-spinny thing and having a great time being a BAMF. (that scene was just so well directed and the angles with the forest and Castiel alone and then being awesome I LOOOOVE HIM AND SAM AND DEAN AND THE WHOLE SHOW OMG.
Also, who thinks Trickster/Gabriel should come back? As in now?
And now poetry!
How To Greet Death by Gabriel Gadfly
Greet death
With your hands in your pockets,
Slouched back, cool,
Collected, and confident.
Wear a hint of a grin
And a dash of cologne.
Say What took you so long?
Say You're behind the times, man.
Say Dead is the new black.
Coffin is the new condo.
Pallor is the new tan.
La vida muerta.
Greet death
With a fistful of black-eyed susans,
Butterflies in your stomach,
And two tickets to tomorrow's sunrise.
Wear your father's cufflinks
And your mother's wedding ring.
Say I brought these for you, babe.
Say Kiss me, kiss me.
Say But wait until the sun comes up.
Just until daybreak.
I want to show you something.
Hasta le muerte, te amo.
Greet death
With a knife at your own neck,
Chin up, throat bared,
Cardiac in overdrive.
Wear nothing.
Wear nothing.
Say Bring it on motherfucker!
Say Only on my terms.
Say nothing
And open your throat.
And bleed to completion.
El final, el final, el final.
