SPN 4.18 --- I really liked everything except for THAT.

Okay, so seriously. I was taking my little brother on college visits Thurs/Fri and we were in a motel in the middle of AR. I thought for a second about taking my laptop and then thought, nah, surely there won't be anything earth-shattering happen. Oh, imagine my surprise when Sam and Dean discuss mention slash fanfic AND WINCEST on national television. *facepalm* : )

As I said to creedcascade, I feel kinda like my best friend just blabbed to everybody a secret that I told them in confidence. And see, I'm really hard to embarrass in real life, so I'm not upset about it, I just feel very awkward about it. My insides are squishy and I still feel like I'm waiting for someone to bop me on my nose and say "bad girl!" I outed myself to one of my friends who watch SPN so I could wail about Sam slash Dean ON THE SHOW! She was cool, she coddled me and said, 'yup, that'd be kinda awkward.'

I mean, I remember when I first found slash back in '98 or '99. It took a while and I had to kind of acclimatize myself mouse-click to mouse-click. Now there are people who will google the term and get through into the butt-sex head first (and isn't that an interesting visual?).

Mostly, I was away from my computer, and I'm not even kidding, but all I could think of was doomsday scenarios. I guess I might be a tad bit melodramatic. *sheepish* My first worry was that all of fandom would hate us (SPN fandom) for outing slash. We'll be shunned wherever we go! I thought to myself. My second worry was that this would make the most epic wank to end all wanks. Supernatural vs. Wincest: internet cage match to the death! Then I thought, Oh, I wonder if everyone will freak out and lock their journals and we'll have to go back to the stoneage technology of mailing lists until society as a whole forgets us again.

I think I'm still holding my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop. I did watch the scene repeatedly just now so it won't catch me by surprize again.

ETA: Also, how much fun do you think Jensen and Jared had trying to shoot the slash scene? I'll bet they were giggling right up to the minute the director yelled action. I hope they weren't too mocking...

gigglingkat has a good post here talking about TWoP as the forum from the episode.
missyjack posts here about her shiny Show/Fandom OTP and links back to that awesome Ghostfacers comic where Sam and Dean are The Beast With Two Backs protecting their right to have the most poutiest lips on TV. : )


Anyway, back to SPN

I love that in the same episode where Dean pronounced that Sam slash Dean was sick is also the episode where Dean basically told Heaven and Earth that we could all go to Hell if somebody didn't help him keep Sam from sexxing up Lilith save Sam. This was an awesome brother episode, but there was also plenty in there for a slash fan to dig into no matter who they were slashing. That's what I like to see! : )

I'm going to post a poll on this ep later because I'm really curious what everyone else on my flist thought about it.

I randomly throw grenades.
