So here's my spn life story;

I started the show in September 2023 and finished it in late October 2023.

Two weeks later, I started rewatching.

From November to December, I rewatched the 5 first seasons. Then I stopped.

I wasn't feeling ready for the 6th season rewatch back then. So January has been a month full of fanfics and tumblr duelling. But now... it's time.

So, fair warning, I'm starting the 6th season and that means you are all getting random reactions and headcanons soon enough. (whether you want it or not xD)

I decided to rewatch a comfort show of mine aka Sherlock (BBC) and as I fell in love with podcasts about shows thanks to “carrying wayward”, “on the road with supernatural” and “spn then and now” I thought why not find one about SHERLOCK. Long story short there were only episodes on Johnlock on podcasts about queerbaiting.

And it was always the same always. Getting annoyed at Gatiss and Co for not making it Canon. Always making sure to state that they don’t know the original and only the adaptations and how no one really makes Johnlock Canon and how Sherlock is always an asshole. And I haven’t read more then the first chapter of A study in Scarlet myself, so I said why not give it a go. I do have most of them as a kindl book, downloaded it about 5-6 years ago.

Then I found out that Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are in the public domain since the first of January 2023, so I searched for the audiobook on spotify and found it. I am now at chapter 6 and I have to say Gatiss did an implacable job of taking the story with all its elements in to the modern setting. Yes, the added date as well as the infamous “there’s another bedroom upstairs in case you’ll be needing to bedrooms” can be seen as queerbaiting. Or it can be read as the same implications Sir Arthur Canon Doyle gave by making Mr Holmes seduce/impress Dr Watson by playing Watson’s favourite violin pieces by heart after stating that the knowledge that the earth spins around the sun is not of necessity to him.

The books are as queerbaiting as the BBC show and they didn’t have queerbaiting yet at this time.

The greatest difference I found up to this point is that Mr Holmes is not as enthusiastic as Sherlock and loves to play dress up. Oh and that they can’t actually be older then 30, if not younger as Sherlock has not yet finished studying and Dr Watson graduated maybe 1 or 2 years ago.

So yes, I agree that Sherlock and John are written in a way that heavily implies that they have no platonic feelings for each other, but so are Mr Holmes and Dr Watson.

do you ever think about how well dean must know the highways and roads of middle america? like he doesn’t use a map most the time, he just knows where he is in relation to everything else. he’s such a weird little guy

[magdaclaire]

he’s six months old and he’s in the dark universe. he’s six months old and no one is here to raise him

[magdaclaire]

the episode after sam kills his daughter, dean is calling him sammy and reassuring him about his fears in a way that sam repeats as a mantra (”if it bleeds, you can kill it”). now i wanna be normal about this. however

[magdaclaire]

we don’t talk enough about cas knocking ketch out with angel mojo or whatever in devil’s bargain, but still dean carrying the body to the back of the car. like, let the literal angel carry the heavy thing, butchboy. what is wrong with you

[magdaclaire]

claire is so sexy in 13.10 y’all

[magdaclaire]

rowena is so sexy in general but when she powerbreaks herself in 13x12, i just. good googly moogly i love women with magical powers

[magdaclaire]

rowena is sam's benny

[magdaclaire]

dean, pointing back and forth between samuel and crowley: wait you two know each other??

crowley: not in the biblical sense,

[magdaclaire]

in season six it’s just so obvious how much of a disconnect there is between dean and cas’s communication styles. cas thinks dean is frustrated with him because he’s a weapon missing from dean’s artillery. dean just misses him.

[magdaclaire]

sam’s voice is so smooth in the early seasons. where is my stuttering boy

[magdaclaire]

WHO IS THIS HIPPIE

[magdaclaire]

dean was so shocked and appalled to find out that he’s a killer like. i wish regarding dean had more plot impact. he was left alone with rowena and she took care of him for a bit, why doesn’t he like her more? i know there’s the feeling of mistrust but dean has always been a tameable animal. deanrowena is such a powerful and personal friendship for me. bless
