welcome to the master plan

“Um,” Jared says awkwardly. “So – we’re really doing this, huh?”

“You mean having an actual relationship where no money is exchanged and we have a lot of awesome sex?” Jensen asks, smirking. “Yeah, we are.”

"Last Outpost of All That Is" by b stearns

Supernatural, Sam/Dean

Winchesters were built for world-endings.

This is a new fic genre for me: apocalypse!fic. Which seems to be quite common in this fandom, actually. I've barely started it and it's already completely fabulous. There's a difference between fic that is just good and fic that is excellent - as in, publishable quality - and you can pretty much tell within a paragraph or two which it is. This is excellent.

So I just realized that the novel-length J2 fic I just finished (and cried at, which is a fandom first for me) and the cracked-out oneshot that is totally the hottest Sam/Dean I've read so far were written by THE SAME PERSON.

She is now my favorite author ever. Go check her out: http://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/profile

That makes me very, very happy. On the other hand, I've also discovered the Thing I Hate about the Supernatural fandom. There's always something in every fandom that pisses me the fuck off. In Pirates, it's shipper wars. In Harry Potter, it's that the fandom is too fucking big and the average fic quality is therefore low. And in Supernatural, it's that half the fans like to spend their time bitching (loudly) about how misogynistic the show is. Anyone who knows me knows my thoughts on feminism. I like to see female characters get beat up and called names and be generally not treated as well as the men. Maybe that means I'm fucked up. Still - there's no excuse for killing everyone's buzz and cluttering up the fandom with your wanking. Go off in your little corner and wank in private, mmk?

"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." - Charles DuBois

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science." - Albert Einstein

"Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books." - Bell Hooks

"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose." - William Shakespeare

"God can be reached by all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole." - Ramakrishna

Ok, I did seven instead of five - I couldn't choose!

Just wanted to remind people that there's a new porn battle starting up at IJ, here:

Make sure to read the comments... :-D

So I'm watching old episodes of The Daily Show on the Comedy Central website. And man, 1999 Jon Stewart is...rather pathetically adorable. I just want to hug him and say, it's ok, no one noticed you struggling through that laugh-free interview, I promise! It's amazing how much he's improved over the years. It's almost sad to love an ongoing TV show so much, because I'm going to be pretty crushed when it ends.

Also, the headlines in '99 seem awfully naive compared to today. I mean, all that uproar about the whole Monica Lewinsky thing? You watch it today, and it's nothing. It seems ridiculous after everything Bush put the country through. You know?

The best clip I've come across so far:

You know, I would totally go to comic-cons if it were common to see this:
