waking dreams

So, Season Five starts airing in the US tonight, which means I'll get to see it tomorrow.

I. AM. SO. RIDICULOUSLY. EXCITED.

(and not just because of a certain someone playing a certain fallen angel...)

I just...

I have this feeling that this season is going to be absolutely amazing.


Also, I hope Chuck gets a decent part. Because Chuck is awesome.


To get us into the apocalyptic mood, have some T.S. Eliot:

This is the way the world ends,
Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

( Uh-huh, Spoilers here, pretty obvious really... )

(It seems I have no Spnl icons uploaded at present. Instead, have a Fivey icon. *sigh*)

( Spoilers )

Slightly related point:

A fic I wrote for a comment_fic prompt has slightly taken over my brain, and I've now got a Supernatural/BtVS crossover in the works. At the moment it's probably going to follow S4 plotwise, only with added BtVS. And Dawn. Definitely Dawn.

I just saw an icon that said "the angels have the phone box".

I know where that's from. I know it's from "Blink".

My problem is that now I kind of want to write DW/Supernatural crossover fic, involving that phrase at some point. I have no idea what it would be about, though. Godsdamn overactive imagination.


Meanwhile, I'm watching Howl's Moving Castle, which is fantastic btw... and is it wrong to fancy an animated character this much? Because Howl... well. *ahem*

*backs away slowly*

Found a link to this while reading tvtropes.org.

It may actually be the best thing ever in the history of everything.

(Considering uh, "borrowing" an alternative counting style thing from my friend missfuneralsong. Anyways...)

A number of good things have been happening recently.

Hartnell

I HAVE A JOB. STARTING ON MONDAY. A good job. That pays good money (srsly, it's like £400 a week, which is awesome).

Troughton

Went shopping with Mum today, for New Work Clothes. Which means.... I now own an actual suit, for the first time in my life. (Yes, I made it to 22 without needing a suit. Ehhh...)

Pertwee

Got my hair cut for the first time in... many, many moons. So now it's a bob, rather than the... uncontrollable mess... that it was this morning. (If I had a webcam, I'd be able to show y'all. But I don't. :( )

Baker

Supernatural.

I'd seen a few eps here and there before this week... I'm finally starting to watch it *properly* and it's awesome. So many awesome characters, I don't know what to do with myself. Also, Castiel. *sigh*. (PS. I may have a new crack!OTP for this show.... *drumroll*.... Dean/Impala! Is good, y/y?)

Davison

Writing stuff... well, current project-wise, I've got my Twilight Rewrite, which at least one person likes so far, so woo! me. Also I started my rewrite-harry-potter-from-a-non-gryffindor-perspective idea. Haven't posted any of that yet, though, partly because there's not enough to post. Heh.

Baker2

RPs. Dude, I have too many of these. But people keep making new ones that look really awesome, and I keep joining them. And I always say to myself that I'll just take one or two characters, and then I end up with about six. *sigh*

McCoy

Speaking of RPs....

check this out: http://toniscrackrp.proboards.com/index.cgi

It's kind of a reincarnation of a LOST RP we had on the Fuselage ages ago, only this version has characters from other shows too. And when it starts, it will be awesome.

I think that's it.

Peace out, dudes.

This could be just a coincidence, but I've noticed something about Castiel on Supernatural.

The gentleman in my icon for this post is Castiel.



The gentleman in this picture is John Constantine (that's the real one, from the Hellblazer comics, not the movie one).

He and Castiel show some... similarities.

They're a similar height and build, and they are both seen in outfits that include a white shirt, a loosened black tie and a tan-coloured trenchcoat.

Now, this could be a coincidence. In fact, it probably is a coincidence. But part of me would like to think that someone who works on Supernatural is a Hellblazer fan and made Castiel look like that as a homage or something.

Finally, I think that should anyone decide to do a proper Hellblazer movie, all we'd need to do is make Misha Collins blond and get him to do an English accent and he'd be perfect.

(Anyone who wants to know more about John Constantine, his Wiki page is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Constantine#Real-life_appearances

ETA I have just read on Wikipedia that Castiel is, in fact, "heavily influenced" by the character of John Constantine.

(score one for me!)

Hee. WOO SAM.



BOOMER. BOOMER IS AWESOME.



HIROOOOOOOOOOOOO!



TOSH. This is one of the ones I predicted before I even started.



Erm... okay then...



Skinner? Srsly? huh.



....and that would be the other one I predicted before even taking the test.



Um. Yeah... don't know what to say to that one, really.

Uh. Interesting variety there....
