Since people are playthings posting I'm bringing back this gem because Sam was literally gripping the amulet and flicked it away to cup Deans face. what the fuck.

When Sam gets to heaven, he and Dean finally aren't restricted by physical bodies (because in heaven they are only souls) so they are constantly just like mashed up together in one body

Neil Gaiman: Hi, I'm Neil Gaiman. I'm wearing the first red T-shirt I've worn since 1987. Because I'm a member of the WGA. I'm on strike. I care so much for the things that I've written but I'm out here right now not working and here until we get a good contract because I care about the future of the WGA, the future of young writers. I want a world in which no AI writes scripts or attempts to. I want a world in which young writers get to learn how to make television. And I want a world in which we are fairly compensated for the things that we put up on streaming.

I was on a plane this weekend, and I was chatting with the woman sitting next to me about an upcoming writer’s strike. “Do you really think you’re mistreated?” she asked me.

That’s not the issue at stake here. Let me tell you a little something about “minirooms.”

Minirooms are a way of television writing that is becoming more common. Basically, the studio will hire a small group of writers, 3-6 or so, and employ them for just a few weeks. In those few weeks (six weeks seem to be common), they have to hurriedly figure out as much about the show as they can – characters, plots, outlines for episodes. Then at the end of the six weeks, all the writers are fired except for the showrunner, who has to write the entire series themselves based on the outlines.

This is not a widespread practice, but it has become more common over the past couple of years. Studios like it because instead of paying for a full room for the full length of the show, they just pay a handful of writers for a fraction of the show. It’s not a huge problem now, but the WGA only gets the chance to make rules every three years – if we let this go for another three years and it becomes the norm? That would be DEVASTATING for the tv writing profession.

Do I feel like I’m mistreated? No. I LOVE my job! But in a world of minirooms, there is no place for someone like me – a mid-level writer who makes a decent living working on someone else’s show (I’d like to be a showrunner someday, but for now I feel like I still have a lot to learn, and my husband and I are trying to start a family so I like not being support rather than the leader for now). In a miniroom, there are only two levels – the handful of glorified idea people who are already scrambling to find their next show because you can’t make a decent living off of one six-week job (and since there are fewer people per room, there are fewer jobs overall, even at the six-week amount), and the overworked, stressed as fuck showrunner who is going to have to write the entire thing themselves. Besides being bad for me making a living, I also just think it’s plain bad for television as an art form – what I like about TV is how adaptable it is, how a whole group of people come together to tell a story better than what any of them could do on their own. Plus the showrunner can’t do their best work under all of that pressure, episode after episode, back to back. Minirooms just…fucking suck.

The WGA is proposing two things to fix this – a rule that writers have to be employed for the entire show, and a rule tying the number of writers in the room to the number of episodes you have per season. I don’t think it’s unreasonable. It’s the way shows have run since the advent of television. It’s only in the last couple of years that this has become a new thing. It’s exploitative. It squeezes out everyone except showrunners and people who have the financial means to work only a few months a year. It makes television worse. And that is the issue in this strike that means everything to me, and that is why I voted yes on the strike authorization vote.

it’s so funny to me how sam and dean’s whole incestuous codependency thing stays the same throughout the whole show. they’re sweet and funny and lighthearted with each other most of the time but there are a bunch of very heavy moments when you see that they are not normal and very weird about each other. and in the first few seasons it all fits the family horror vibe of the show.

but then the show stops being a horror show at some point and then the whole being weird and incesty for each other thing becomes (imo) totally incongruous with an unremarkably written brightly lit cw action adventure show. it just puts into stark contrast exactly how fucked up they are (and by fucked up i mean totally obsessed with each other in a lovely and tender way). to me the late seasons are like walking into a grocery store and seeing some guys having sex in the cereal isle. like is anyone else seeing this…

ok not only are the things Dean says to his brother weird, but Sam’s reaction–or lack thereof–is weird too!! He’s not even fazed by “I get all tingly when you take control” or “shake it up baby” or “do I look like Paris Hilton”–maybe a scoff or bitchface at most. To him it’s just ‘ugh big brother teasing,’ maybe even funny. It doesn’t register as WEIRD. And now I’m imagining someone else witnessing an exchange like that and being like, “so, uh, does your brother always talk to you like that?” and Sam is just, ??? “like what” because Dean’s just being an annoying big brother right?? That’s normal, isn’t it? No, Sam, no it’s not
