Sometimes fandom makes me smile.
Mar. 16th, 2011 05:06 am++ TRICIA TWEETS BTC 17TH PRECINCT PIC! Includes herself (as a brunette!), James Callis (♥) and Jamie Bamber (who is wearing a familiar tan coat...) THIS CAST IS LOVE. ♥
++ For all Nikita fans: If you want Nikita to stay on the air and be renewed, please comment here explaining why so TPTB know what the viewers want. Though honestly, even if you aren't watching the show just say they should keep it regardless, because we severely need more kickass, independent women on network television and there's been such a huge lack of them. More importantly, female leads who are Asian hardly are ever seen, plus the show is pretty wicked and amazing in itself. The CW doesn't have this kind of diversity on its network, it's time to change that and make Nikita part of its lineup and successful, too. The demographic shouldn't be just about melodramatic teen shows. It's for self-sufficient assassin women, as well. ;)
++ Okay, so I don't really watch Glee. I've only seen the pilot but as soon as it went to series I wasn't that wild about it as a whole, as it was completely different in the vibe than how I originally thought it was going to be plus all the controversy/drama surrounding it left a bad taste in my mouth. So I decided it just wasn't the show for me. However, there is one specific thing that has been grabbing my attention lately, because everyone is squeeing about it, and after last night with that scene, it's totally undeniable.
THE KURT/BLAINE KISS!


AND THEN, AFTER THAT THEY GO FOR SECONDS!

♥ D'AWWWWW! ♥
I DON'T EVEN WATCH THIS SHOW AND I AM SHIPPING THEM SO HARD RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE HOW FUCKING ADORABLE IS THIS? A;SJF;LAKF;DAF;D
Now if only they got Dean/Castiel to do something like that I would die with utter happiness and forgive all the horrible mistakes the show has ever made, for real though. CANON GAY, IT MAKES ME HAVE WARM FUZZIES FEELINGS INSIDE.
I also want to say that, personally, I'm very proud of Darren Criss. I may not be a fan of the Glee in general, but Darren has really moved up from being Harry Potter in Team StarKid's A Very Potter Musical to being a regular on one of the most popular shows on network television right now. It's sort of like watching him grow up in a way, even though it wasn't that long ago, lol. So I'm very happy for him getting this kind of publicity, and also for playing a gay character on a show that airs on FOX, a network that is notorious for their rather conservative views particularly on homosexuality. So, major kudos not just for Darren's success, but for the show for actually giving us something worthwhile for LGBT youths who watch the show.

Date: 2011-03-16 12:18 pm (UTC)sexuallyfrustrated with Dean and during some kind of confrontation, it ends up being Castiel making the first move. Then again I mostly take this somewhat because I always sense Cas as this bamf!angel that he always is and with Dean there's just all that tension that he would have to do something about it (ex. wall!slamming)As for something sweeter and slower, I can definitely see Dean initiating something like that to start off, as somewhat experimenting with. But then of course, Castiel being impatient would want to take control of the situation. I don't know, it varies depending on the context whether it's an immediate thing or planned out, like all the fics I read about Castiel being curious and Dean guiding him through, only to have Castiel becoming more dominant as things progress.
As you can tell, I have thought this through. ;D

Date: 2011-03-16 12:36 pm (UTC)I get the weirdest feeling that all these friendship spoilers are talking about Cas and Bal, though. I don't know why. At this point, I am starting to resent any Cas/Bal friendship, because it IS taking away from D/C. Apparently, Cas can only have one friend at a time? IDK. But we've had Dean and Cas bascially be nothing but antagonistic to each other all season, and it's making me grumpy.
But if they kissed all would be forgiven. I know, that's so reaching there.

Date: 2011-03-16 12:42 pm (UTC)That kiss had me melting. Those two are too adorable for words.
Considering the tension between Dean and Castiel are right now, I'd expect a kiss between them to start from frustration and then possibly turn into something sweeter than Dean would ever admit. I can picture Cas just slamming Dean into a wall in the middle of a confrontation and kissing him, Dean being too stunned to react for a moment, and then grabbing Cas to kiss him back. It won't solve all the problems between them, but it'll certainly help.
Huh, looks like I haven't completely given up on that ship after all.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-16 12:51 pm (UTC)Sadly, I get what you mean. Although I don't resent Cas/Balthazar because I want there to be more exploration of their friendship obviously. I just sort of blame this season (and Sera Gamble) as a whole because while they say that they are friends there's been no evidence suggesting that at all. The tension is just different between them, not at all like S4 or S5 and it's really distressing that there's no explanation for it. I just want Edlund to swoop down and save the day, magically waving his homoerotic wand around Dean and Cas where they mend bridges and all is alright again. *prays to Edlund to make this happen*

Date: 2011-03-16 12:54 pm (UTC)Cas would kiss Dean first because he'd get impatient and crabby on Dean's hesitation and denial. And then, they'd do that wall slam and kiss again. You can tell that I'm in falalala land right now.

DAMMIT, STOP MAKING ME WANT THIS FOR REAL.
I just want Edlund to swoop down and save the day, magically waving his homoerotic wand around Dean and Cas where they mend bridges and all is alright again.
BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE WILL COME IN IN THE NEXT EP AND UNDO IT ALL AGAIN. ;__;

Date: 2011-03-16 12:58 pm (UTC)This scene was happy-making, though. I also loved the hand-holding at the end. ♥
I just responded above that that's how my scenario would go. Castiel would be the first to initiate and Dean would be kind of stunned at first, but then, because of their growing tension that is very sexual and unresolved with their frustration at each other, he would react just as passionately because Dean is a reactor like that. They would definitely fight for dominance in that situation and release that tension, but then have to deal with the ramifications of what happened between them by taking it to that level. Once understanding their feelings and where it all comes from, it can take on a softer, more sweeter side than just hardcore USTing (although that, too, can be part of the deal as well)
Hehe, I will never give up on this ship even if the show fails on epic levels with them canonically. Praying that never happens though and that they get their shit straightened out (and Edlund takes charge when Gamble steps down, or better gets fired.)

TRUE. BUT THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT IF WE GET HIM AS SHOWRUNNER HE CAN MEND EVERYTHING IN THE NEXT SEASON, AND IT WILL ALL BE UNICORNS AND RAINBOWS AND THEIR PROFOUND BOND WILL BE BACK AND STRONGER THAN EVER. AND THEN THEY MAKE OUT FEROCIOUSLY EVERYWHERE THEY ARE, WITH SAM AND BOBBY BEING EMBARRASSED BY THEIR CONSTANT PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION. LOL

Date: 2011-03-16 01:07 pm (UTC)I would just like some normal PROFOUND BOND please. Just get back to that, and don't kill Castiel, and I'll be happy. I just want them to be BFF in canon, and they can be whatever they like in my imagination. (Although, for quite a while in S5, I was convinced that Cas was in love with Dean in canon, in an intense, non-sexual, weird angelic sort of way that only an angel who's held your soul can do. Now, I'm not so sure.)

Date: 2011-03-16 01:12 pm (UTC)Nah, if you're in falalala land than I am too because that is precisely the scenario I see them in. Because, well, ahem.

Date: 2011-03-16 01:18 pm (UTC)What is happening with Brittany and Santana? Last I heard that they started to go somewhere but then it disappeared, and now I hear that Santana proclaimed her love for Brittany? I NEEDS SOME CLARIFICATION ON THIS PLZ! D:
Oh, definitely. Castiel isn't afraid on getting all up in Dean's ~personal space~ and once he senses Dean backing down from his true feelings and possibly denying or never going through with it because of those second guessing fears, Cas will act on impulse and just dominant the situation. Dean would be rather startled, but being impulsive that he is and realizing that he cannot hide his feelings, especially not from Castiel who knows him inside and out, will just go with it and one things leads to another.....and, yeah. ;) Castiel is the more dominant in these scenarios, I think.

Date: 2011-03-16 01:19 pm (UTC)As for Cas and Dean, remember what Cas did with Meg? Yeah, I think he'd be the one to initiate it. ;)
no subject
Date: 2011-03-16 01:31 pm (UTC)I don't ever recall that scene, since that never happened in my canon
brain bleach always needed here. However in proper show canon Castiel has often been very personal space invadey whenever he was frustrated with Dean, including wall!slamming him twice trying to get his point across. Imagine him being so sexually frustrated, and fed up with Dean a la "Point of No Return" and instead of throwing fits he ravages Dean's mouth instead? Oh yeah, he would be the dom in that scenario, for sure. ;Dno subject
Date: 2011-03-16 01:35 pm (UTC)Unless they make it happen at the very end of the show, where everything is all said and done and things are wrapped up, and Dean and Castiel, after all this time, finally come to terms with how they feel -- perhaps not a happily ever after, since it is angst-ridden of a show, but certainly coming to understand those feelings. IDK I HAVE MY OWN HEAD!CANON WHICH SEEMS TO BE MORE CANON THAN CANON IS RIGHT NOW, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE, LOL.
I am with you about them just getting back to their BFF status. *points to icon* Remember those days? We need that back. We need things that made sense from before.
Although, for quite a while in S5, I was convinced that Cas was in love with Dean in canon, in an intense, non-sexual, weird angelic sort of way that only an angel who's held your soul can do. Now, I'm not so sure.
Awwww, don't ever doubt bb. :( I still get that vibe, even with the nonsense that's been happening this season. I just think with all that he's been dealing with in regards of the war he's been fighting it's just taking a lot out of him, he's tired, and worried about many things. I still believe he loves and cares for Dean deeply, but with everything it's harder to let his guard down and he has to go into Heavenly soldier mode, and Dean's asshole tendencies has left him feeling confused. If anything, it's still one-sided at the moment but I want there to be something that smacks Dean upside the head and be all WAKE UP CAS IS IN LOVE WITH YOU STOP ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE AND APOLOGIZE TO HIM, DAMMIT.
Since I remember Castiel's face in 6.06 when Dean ranted at him, he looked so confused and crestfallen. D: D: D: He still loves Dean, it's just been rough dealing with everything he's been dealing with, imo.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-16 01:39 pm (UTC)Ah, okay. I was worried because some people have been complaining about the representations of characters and their sexualities on the show, among other things. I just want to know whether they are or not because that was another ship I kind of wanted to see finally become officially canon.
LOL OMG I CAN TOTALLY SEE THAT HAPPENING NOW! XD
I think it's kind of a tie, since I actually had to think for a moment with who initiates the kiss in fics. It depends on the circumstances, sometimes it's accidental, sometimes it's experimental or "first time" kind of deal, and others it just happens because of such UST as we're discussing, and it switches from Dean to Cas. But I personally love bamf!Cas taking control but being very thorough and experimental with how he takes things.

Dean/Cas-kiss would blow my mind. OR EVEN A DAMN HUG.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-16 05:02 pm (UTC)Well, I've kinda moved on to Castiel/Balthazar. Mainly because Cas/Dean feels so one-sided this season that I can't take it any more, and Balthazar, while he likes to try to pretend he doesn't care about anything, is just there for Cas.
But I'd much rather have this epic love triangle, where both, Dean and Bal care about Cas and show him as much. Balthazar seems to have accepted Castiel's feelings for Dean, even though I'm sure he still doesn't like it, so if Dean would just stop being such a dick, I'm sure we could have figured this all out by now.

Date: 2011-03-16 09:43 pm (UTC)From what I've seen, Darren is incredibly appreciative of the opportunity he's been given and very enthusiastic about the role, which for anyone in the business is a step up. I'm happy for him. :D
YES. A long, meaningful hug that further establishes their strong bond and reminds us that yes, they are still friends even after all the bullshit that has been happening. I mean we can get that, right? *crossing fingers*
