The Universality of J2 Theory
Oct. 12th, 2009 04:50 pmHypothesis: Almost all movies can easily be reworked as a J2 AU while maintaining most elements of the plot and setting,
Experiment: Tell me your favorite movie, and I'll explain how it would work as a J2 AU.
I'm sick, and forty-five minutes from now, I have to go pretend to know enough German to place out of the college's language competency requirement. I will fail. So humor me, kay? :D?
Also,
familiardevil and I have a new otp.

We call it Snastiel. Or "Nasti" for short. Epic love, or epicer love?
Ugh. I need to start writing again. I feel so faily.
ETA: For, um, curiosity's sake, what episode of Supernatural do you feel has the most Sam/Dean subtext? All of them is not an option, but you can list multiple episodes if you're really torn.

I LOVE SEASON 3 TOO. I think it is actually my favorite season. I know people don't seem to think it hangs well together, but I love almost every single episode, and I think Sam's desperation serves as better cohesion than any war between angels and demons. IDK. My opinion is unpopular. I guess I will accept that.
AND IT IS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND S4 SAM IN THE CONTEXT OF S3. I don't get why more people don't see that. ):

I love season three too, actually, it's probably my favourite as well and I've watched it more than any other season, but I think I can understand why a lot of people don't like it so much.
Plus, I love the boys' relationship in season three. S1 we see them learning how to relate to each other again and coming to know each other as adults. S2 we see how they've come together as a unit and S3 they're all wonderfully twisted up in each other. I love it.

YES, THANK YOU! WHY DO PEOPLE NOT GET THIS? I've always said that I think Sam's actions in season four made complete sense to me, you can totally see why he does what he does. It's like the people who bitch about it are only looking at his season one characterisation or something.

And while I think S4 was more subtext heavy, it's landscape was wider, and that's part of the reason I'm so uncomfortable with the season. It's not that I necessarily want an MOTW every episode, but I like it better when the boys' main focus is on being with each other. <333

THEY DO TO ME TOO! Even the demon-blood drinking. I always lie and say that, "Oh. I understand Sam in S4, but the demon blood was a bad idea." But no. Fuck it. If Ruby had turned out to be good (and there was very little reason for Sam to think otherwise), the demon blood would have been a damn fine idea.
Sam is responsible for some of his... less than stellar interactions with Dean last season, and I'll never truly forgive him for kidnapping and killing the RN, but he's so not as monstrous or incomprehensible as people make him out to be. ):
Sorry. D: That got ranty.

Exactly! Sam was brilliantly and ruthlessly manipulated, yes he's still responsible for his own actions but I'd like people to stop acting like he purposefully began the apocalypse. It felt so good to see Dean address that in the last episode.

Omg, you know I'd half forgotten about that. Sam's got to be having some serious guilt about her (as he should of course).
Ranty is all good by me! :D
