I cannot say this enough: I don’t care about polls and think when side characters win anything against a main that it’s very funny

Like I’d love if Metatron won against Dean, for example. Or if Becky won against Rowena. Or Gadreel against Sam. Etc etc.

apart from the general bullshit the criticism of j2 at work that ive heard is that they loooove to be silly and have fun, completely disregarding how long other staff have been working and making days way longer than they had to be. i have no real source for this but seeing as you know about singer allegations you probably know more than me, what are your thoughts

i actually read an interview from jim parrack, the guy who played dean's siren in 4.14 earlier, and this is what he had to say and jared and jensen on set:

like while it's very much plausible because that's their workplace that they're very much not really at risk of getting fired from and as a result, they're more slack about their own time as well as the time of the people they work with, i just don't think it would ultimately be in any of their best interests to actually permanently hinder the work of themselves and others on set. like these guys are very much already working twelve to sixteen hours a workday, they're miles away from their families and their entire lives are the people they work with. a supernatural episode had a maximum of eight days to be filmed which is forty minutes of Everything within only 128 hours. i doubt they would actually go to any extreme past these aspects of the basic working environment, especially when these are the coworkers they have actual work relationships with that need to be upheld. there's also the basic idea that that j2 are both extremely well experienced actors; jensen's talked about how fast paced and roboticised working on the days of our lives was and jared was quite literally coming off of multiple shows and movies on which he was guest starring. you can see how their past experiences help within their day-to-day abilities even in bloopers or in interviews like the one above i don't think they need the extra time to goof off lol

i recently came across that story of jared's issue with the final scene in 14.12 and the way it as well as other stories they've told regarding working on set is described is really interesting to be because something jared specifically mentions remembering having an issue with, was how much time he was holding the crew back on set while he was continuing to struggle with his lines. and like, this isn't the only aspect of their work relationship/pov ive seen where it's very obvious that they, not only have respect for their own jobs and treat it as a job worth working hard for, but they also have a lot of respect for the people they work with. there's also another story where j2 were goofing off during the 11.04 smoothie scene in the impala, which is a scene that was shot when the impala was not moving, but rather the environment (controlled by the crew) moved around them outside of the car, and they capped their shenanigans at three takes maximum and while telling the story jared made a note about the fact that there were crew members who were doing these environmental movements for them. quite simply, they Care

also like, the part about singer that i'd talked about was in the context of jared's own goal as a producer was to make sure that the work environment on walker was a comfortable one in which, "[their] cast and crew are treated correctly and that some of the habits that can happen on a tv show that end up hurting people don’t materialize." [x] which i think says a lot about his (and jensen's) workplace values especially since jared's past experiences influenced so very much of his decisions re: walker. so like i said while it's very much plausible, but based on what i know i'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt

This was the second time that I went into a comic book store (you know, the places specializing on selling fantasy and science fiction), and asked if they know of a bookshop in that city specializing on fantasy and science fiction novels, just to be met with a blank stare, a what the fuck are you doing here and the very helpful suggestion to look at the fantasy sections in actual bookshops.

"They have fantasy novels in normal bookshops, don't they?"

Yes. Always the exact same ones. Always the exact same ones regardless of the country I'm in. It would be nice to be able to 1) browse around somewhere that can afford to carry some smaller titles, too, and 2) ask someone for book recommendations who actually specializes on this subject.

looking into reading the final reflection because it's cited as a big influence on the depiction of klingons in star trek from tng onward for looking past the warrior stereotype and fleshes them out really well and look at this.

i think nebula and dropout should be one subscription service combined together. their audiences (gay nerds) are almost exactly the same imo

au where pro hero katsuki and reader meet one night at a bar and hit it off (SEX) and start casually seeing each other. but the catch is that reader runs a popular pro-hero blog (opinion blog but borders on gossip) under a screen name and keeps their real identity secret. katsuki lets it slip one night that he just so happens to know the blog... and hate it.

A little headswap for fun.

Emma's dating life is about to get a lot busier.

I'm new to Warhammer 40K

I mean, I am taking the lore more seriously in the last year, yes. But I dated a chaos-oriented man who liked to paint the figures and game with them. He even gifted me a whole set of Age of Sigmar figures (he kept the Chaos side, of course).

Before that, I met some amazing people on here who loved all things 31K and Emps. What goes around comes around.
