1) While I feel more warmly to SPN than you do I'm highkey loving your posts + tags on the subject (BOBAzazel!), 2) thanks for namedropping Sheila bc srsly her meta is god-tier and more people should read it, 3) hate to break it to you but there's more puppy-play incoming, in S11. But instead of Dean it's Crowley. And it's grody. Brace yourself

oh don't get me wrong, I'm feeling more warmly towards it than i ever expected to! but i do find it much more rewarding to watch as "a bad and infuriating show that manages to pull off way more shockingly good stuff than you'd ever expect" than "a narrative powerhouse whose price of entry is wanting to cringe your entire face off every 2.5 episodes or so."

(backstory here is that i watched the pilot once in college and was so fucking irritated by its treatment of women that i 100% bounced on the entire show for like a solid decade, and only agreed to a groupwatch of s1 this summer on the condition that i could be a petty recreational hater in the chat. i've since been talked around to more charitable readings of a lot of its gender stuff in the monster-of-the-week eps, but Rock Bottom Expectations remains the only bearable approach to its treatment of recurring female characters (to say nothing of the chronic fucking racism, eurgh). hell, sometimes even that isn't enough and i need to watch with a healthy dose of revisionist "fuck the text, i am suing for custody and i think this poor little meow meow should've gotten to do more crimes and be more annoying, also bb i am SO glad you were able to fake your death and go into witness protection." but i suspect i'm preaching to the choir on that, and anyway it turns out half the shit that makes me want to cringe my face off is either way more mundane or way weirder than the outright offensive bullshit.)

a n y w a y yeah. god bless sheila o'malley. i don't know that i always fully subscribe to her takes, but they are some galaxy-brained blow-your-third-eye-wide-open shit and i NEED to either smoke weed with her or get my hands on some of whatever she's smoking. woman is giving grad-level film studies lectures in jensen ackles derangement and i, a fellow-sufferer still in the early stages, can only sneak into the back of the auditorium and nod along in rueful recognition.

thanks for the heads-up about s11... unbelievably cursed that the "dogfucker episode (disambiguation)" tag turns out to be some kind of hubristic challenge to the gods of grody SPN eps. at this point i don't even want to guess what the final tally will be.

having a dogfuckers dni philosophy while having a spn blog would be just as nonsensical as wincesties dni because dean canonically wanted to fuck a dog... wake up
