#ive been meaning to get back into writing again after my fairly long hiatus

[oopsalltes]

hey gamers

so i've seen some interest on my twitter regarding making written works for the REIMAGINE AU. while i do intend on making this a reality at some point in the near future, i want to know what YOU guys want to see me write!

i dont have any plans to fully translate game titles yet so this would be more like side stuff. for example i could write something about shiro's first days after being rebuilt to look more human or something like that.

can be from any point in the series but you're more likely to see something come out sooner if its related to stuff ive been posting a lot about (jetters, sbr, the 64 games)

feel free to tell me what you wanna see in the comments/reblogs or in my inbox!

My 14x14 Opinion

Ouroboros

It goes without saying, that the last 3 episodes were tough acts to follow. I didn't have high expectations about this episode because I figured they would dial it back a little after all of that drama, but the month-long hiatus made me want whatever they could throw at me! However, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed this episode, so without further ado, let's talk....

This was a good solid MOTW, even though it included Cas, Jack, and Rowena, it still had a good creepy, old skool vibe. Noah was a very interesting bad guy. Something we haven't gotten in a while. Attractive, smart, charming, and of course a cannibal! A dude that kisses dudes to poison them, isn't an angle SPN uses often LOL But how are ya gonna kiss all these boring, unattractive dudes (including Cas) and not kiss a Winchester? 

I wasn't 100% pleased that it was fairly low Sam content, not as low as some episodes have been but at least his content was good. I'll get to that in a minute, I want to talk about how good Jack was. I really love how he’s being written. His dry humor is excellent! He sneezes and everyone looks at him “There’s pepper somewhere... I'm not dying” so self-aware, it's ironically funny! I loved that he was a dog! And how he delivered the line about having his temperature taken LOL poor Jack! It was probably worth it though, to be cuddled by Sam, I know Id take one for the team to be cuddled by Sam 😁

Rowena was also great. She and Sam fighting like a married couple was just awesome! They both really nailed that scene, and I laughed out loud for real. I also loved the exchange in Noah’s apartment 

Sam: He doesn't seem to be much of a snake guy

Rowena: The lack of Pantera posters is one sign (I might not have gotten that verbatim, I've only watched once, but I laughed and felt very called out LOL)

I loved Rowena blatantly flirting with Cas, and though I adore the Sam and Rowena friendship, I think I'm about to ship Rostiel... anyone want to jump on board? I am also glad she acknowledged that if Sam is the only one who can kill her, it might make dinners awkward, but theres also a sense of security in that. I mean all you really have to do is not piss Sam off too much right?

Cas is pretty much useless anymore as a fighter or a healer, but he’s pretty good at the pep talks. The diner scene was boring, and didnt seem necessary since they were just at the motel and were going right back. Dean didnt confide anything in Cas that he hasnt with Sam, nor did he have an emotional moment with him like Hellers wanted. However, the talk Cas had with Jack, about humans shining bright for a short time, got me really choked up I must say.

Now Sam and Dean had some good broments. Give me some of that and you score bonus points with me. Lots of brother touching when Dean got knocked out, lots of panic from Sam. A decent comfort scene in the infirmary, I really good explosion of Dean, when he started freaking out and Sam trying to calm him down. And Dean calling for Sam when Mike was torturing them! Im not salty that Dean hollared at Sam about how he should have let him get in the box, I would expect he’d feel that way. 

Now all the AU hunters are dead. I think all of them except AU Bobby. Im a little mad that they didnt do more with Maggie, like make her Jack’s friend or girlfriend or something? Maybe they had intent in the beginning, then Dabb looked at the plate before him and decided there were too many stories for a 20 episode season, and cut bait. I have to wonder though if Mary will be upset, or at least mourne the loss of all the people she was willing to write her sons off for all eternity for last season? Probably not, and she’s just gonna seem that much more cold in my eyes. 

Now the grand finale was pretty good. I was worried that Sam would have to kill Rowena in order to kill Mike, as soon as I saw Mike was in Rowena. Maybe Mike would kill Jack and Sam would go after him without thinking about Rowena... so Jack taking it over was a nice twist. I liked the effect of Mike leaving Rowena and hovering overhead, and Im glad Jack ate his Grace and is “back” now. I also love that he shouted “Im a Winchester!” To me that officially makes him Sam and Dean’s son :) 

My concern now is that Jack may have no human soul left. He “seems” ok in some upcoming BTS shots Ive seen, and episode synopses so maybe hes ok. However, the penultimate episode is entitled Jack in the Box so Im worried.

Overall this was a really good episode. It’s not making my top 10 but it fits in my top 25 somewhere. Ill watch it again later today, and I cant wait!

So on a scale of Bloodlines to Lebanon Im giving this a strong 7. Very entertaining MOTW/Myth combo! S14b is really good so far!
