Things. You know...stuff.

[tabaqui]

So many things to put here! Things that might only be of importance to me, heh. Firstly, let's see....

roxymissrose finished her awesome Sam/Dean fic, a retelling of how the Colt was made, with all sorts of interesting blacksmithing lore and Show characters and OC's that you'll love, and...well...just go read it! Really!! Non Timebo Mala.
*I should rec some other stuff in my next post...so many good fics!*

Next, an absolutely wonderful little musing on the season five finale of Show. It's short but sweet and really very cool. Abashed the Devil stood, And felt how awful goodness is by blackcat333_99.

And then, what I thought of as a spot-on and very excellent review (and musings) about episode one of the new season. Response of sorts by de_nugis. What I wanted to say, but of course without all the rambling and disconnected babble.

Both mimblexwimble (here) and destina (here) had good, smart, and ultimately *happy* things to say about episode two.

I know, i know - happy happy joy joy! Some of you aren't feeling it. But i am, and i really wanted to share posts that say what i was feeling as i watched. I'm sad when my flist posts reviews that are unhappy and non-Show-enjoying reactions! It hurtssss uss, Precioussss!
*cough*

Anyway. Also! Mudlarking. It's something some very cool, very smart, very *careful* men and women do up and down the Thames at low tide. I WANT TO DO THIS!! This site is a little weirdly put together, but it makes me all *flail flail*. I can't take a walk by a creek or into a wood or across a field without coming away with my pockets crammed with rocks and sticks and bones, and my hands cradling interesting leaves and seed pods. So - yeah. Is there a mudlarking holiday, i wonder...? :)

sweptawaybayou was gone this week, doing her cool Colorado thing. But we missed her! A lot! Now she is home. *smishes her* It's cold at night, now, and we have flannel on the bed and *nothing* is nicer than snuggling down into your cozy, soft covers on a chilly night. Yay, autumn!!

I'm still working my way, slowly but surely, thought an incredible backlog of stories - just as i thought i'd gotten it under control after Big Bang, along came the Kamikaze remix stories! And Summergen stuff, still, and, just...*flail* And now that Show is back, the fic is flowing hard and fast. Wheeeeee!! But i'm so behind.

Anyway, that's my big update for the evening. That no one will read. Because Show is on tonight and you're all making popcorn and huddling around the tv.... Ah well. :) I'm gonna go do that myself, in a minute.

*Still writing, too, i really am, no, really!!*

*clings to you*

Someday we'll have to do the Colorado road!trip thing. TOGETHER. omgosh. So so so so so so so so so so so sssssssooooooooooooooo many cool places i could show you!

*twirls you about*

almost SHOW!TIME!!! i cannot WAIT! (no, i didn't plan my vacation completely around the idea that i HAD to be home on friday ...)

:)

xoxoxoxo

[tabaqui]

BWA!! You so did.
:)

YES! I would love to see 'your' Colorado with you - that would be so awesome! I never cared for Denver much, but the *mountains* and the wooded slopes, the rives and lakes...yes.

*twirls with you*
SHOW!

[iyalode.livejournal.com]

you're all making popcorn and huddling around the tv OR, we're about to go shopping because its the weekend here and we must await the the download:(

I have been liking Show so far, but if Gamble kills off Lisa she and I are gonna have words! Dean is actually getting a life and growing up and I cannot and will not begrudge him that after everything that's happened.

[tabaqui]

Ack!! I do hate shopping. Unless it's for books. Or, you know, gifties for *other* people. :)

I just can't see it happening. I think they've got the vibe from fandom that we *like* Lisa, and killing her would piss off the Beast. Heh.
*crosses everything*

Thanks for the links on the episode reviews. It's good to see alternative points of view. The first was very objective in the criticism.

[tabaqui]

Yes! Too many of my flist were so...well, nearly *bitter* in their dislike, and it makes me all unhappy - for real - to know that people are out there all disappointed and broody.

So, i hope these reviews kind of point out the good and make people feel more optimistic. :)

EEEE *twirls you* Hihi!
What I do is called Mudlarking? Ohhhhhh. thought it was just Weird!Kat stuff.

Flannel sheets? Oh I cannot wait for that time to come here. It's going to be back in the 80s again next week.

[tabaqui]

Heeeee!
*twirls back*
Hihi!


I could be a Mudlarker full time!

We were all 'should we do the flannel? Is it too soon? Yes? No? YES!' It's awesome.

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't do the mud thing myself but that's neat. They found a lot of stuff.

Flannel sheets are the best thing in the history of ever, when it's cold. :)

[tabaqui]

Heeee. I'd love to get muddy!

Flannel sheets *rock*. With an electric blanket when it's *really* cold. :)

de_nugis' post sounds like just what I need. I haven't even watched episode two yet because I was pondering the season opener too hard to get into it. I think some positive spin and a re-watch are in order.

How is there so much fic to read? I thought things were under control, too, and then BAM! I am hundreds of thousands of words behind and there's more every day. I love it! *bookmars rec*

[tabaqui]

YES! This is why i posted the links. :)

I know!! So much freakin' fic, everywhere, and about 99 percent of it is like....must read!!
*flails*

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Well, right now de_nugis has given up on generating anything that sounds intelligent and is going for drunk and bitter. But I'm sure tomorrow I will be able to sober!wank it into something resembling characters I don't want to squash like bugs. Bugs with ugly, jointed antennae that shouldn't be allowed to exist.

[tabaqui]

Dude.

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I thought the whole alcohol thing would help, but maybe not.

I want to write sentimental, OOC hurt comfort and just forget. You know, forget.

[tabaqui]

I'm.....sorry you hated the new episode? Or, the last two? I dunno. I can't comprehend the hate, personally. There's been episodes i wasn't fond of *route 666, bugs* but there was always *something*....

*unhappy sigh*

I luff my boys. I have faith. I'm not judging, or at least - not judging very harshly. I am, and always have been, glass-half-full girl.
*pet pet*

I am not reading many episode reactions for precisely this reason, although I did enjoy the one you mentioned. And also lazy_daze was quite joyful about the first one. I don't know, I'm definitely about the joy. Plus, I don't know if I can explain this well, but...I can be unhappy about speculations, about things I think may be going to happen in Show, or (sometimes) I can put on a production-critic hat and think that certain things weren't rendered well. But once I've seen it - it's what happened. I can't get upset about canon events; it just doesn't make sense to me to complain or accuse characters of being, well, out of character.

Flannel! I adore flannel! :D

[tabaqui]

I know!! It sucks when people just...don't revel in the joy. I get it, there are things that aren't perfect, or could have been done better, but omg! Show! I trust them! It's gonna rock!!

And yes - it's canon now, no matter that we didn't think it should go that way or we've read fic where it was better/different/didn't happen. So, let's just go with it and see what happens next!

Flannel roxors. :)

*GREAT BIG GIANT HUGS* You are, you know, a wonderful friend! Thank you so much for mentioning the story, it made me very happy. I got one other comment besides yours and The Niece, oy. But the pain made me very productive and I'm still writing like a clockwork thing so, cool, no?

And the heck with everyone else, I'm fiercely enjoying the new season because the alternative is no show at all, folks, and no one wants that. Change is good, and we should expect change. The only thing I hope for is for Sam, and Dean, to be SamandDean again. Waiting for that to happen is part of the adventure. ;)

[tabaqui]

*luffs you so much*

You deserve anything nice i can say about you, and *more*.

I am *loving* the new season! Everything! We have so much to look forward to, yes! SamandDean will ride again!!
*twirls you*
