The moment I thought, "The show is actually going to acknowledge it!" and then we all had to wait 10 more years -_-

The Road So Far (TTA) Progress Update

11/21/2024: Hey all! For anyone catching this update, apologies for the longer-than-expected delay for Season 3. The Muse and I have not been as productive as hoped, but we're working on it! I need to get at least one more chapter done before I can resume posting, but I'm hoping to do that this week. So an update will be coming by the end of November, either this upcoming weekend or the next 🥰

Evil for the sake of evil is one of my favorite villainous tropes! Stop humanizing my favorite evil villains!

unpopular opinion: not every villain needs a tragic backstory. sometimes they can just be a jerk.

Oh look, I found my OTTP - my One True Tumblr Post 🤣 (remember, remember guys? When I thought seasons would only be thirty chapters long? How adorable.)

I think my favorite genre of fanfiction is when the author says something like "this was meant to be 3 chapters but it's actually going to be 5" in the notes at the end of a chapter and you can look up at the chapter count and it's like 15 or something

🤣 I feel called out

Me, staring at my blorbos and shaking my head: Someone needs to put these freaks in therapy. Not me though, I'm going to make them worse.

The suffering is real

GOD I just want to be CREATIVE but all my energy is being used to survive

Happy fingers in his mouth friday to those who celebrate 😔🤚

I’m guessing this is from a gag reel or something, but it still makes me laugh we live in a reality where these words were actually said.

Me: Okay, Muse, let's do this. Let's plot out Season 3! Muse: *writing furiously* Kay. Me: Remember, we're going for less verbose than Season 2. Muse: *still writing furiously* Uh-huh Me: ....It...it shouldn't be too hard. There's, like, half as many episodes in Season 3. Muse: *sixteen pages in and growing* Totally. Way fewer episodes to cover. Me: ....Right. Glad we're on, uh, the same page. So...wanna show me what you got? Muse: Ta-Daaaaa! Me: ............................................. Muse: The black stuff is repeat episodes. See? Way fewer! Me: ....and the green? Muse: Oh, that's all the NEW stuff we gotta fit in! Me: ......................................................................I'm going to bed now. Muse: Was it something I said?

Update: 05/29/24

Sorry for the two week radio silence and disappearance! Turns out the Muse definitely thinks we've done the season finale and it's time for a well-deserved vacation 🤦. I suppose it's not her fault the show didn't end the season after the climatic death of Sam. Nope, they had to add a whole nother episode (which, as we all know, means no less than three chapters for us 🙄). Unfortunately with the Muse on unapproved leave, I am very, very low on my chapter stockpile. To add insult to injury (cuz why not, alliteration is such fun!) I had a medication mixup which has since been solved but holy crap am I still feeling side effects (mood related, anxiety-riddled, Muse-murdering side effects 😭). So it may be a minute before I can update again. We'll get back to it soon 🤞 Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Post Tonight

I didn't get the chapter up last night - I'm up north for a family holiday party this weekend - but I should have time to finish my edit and get it up this evening (most likely at an airport 😂).

Apologies for the second delay!

Post This Weekend

Son of a bitch, guys! I was supposed to post this weekend 🤦. I'm going to blame Thanksgiving weekend for this one (even though I was home without company and had no actual activities that would keep me from posting 😅 but no, yeah, let's blame the holidays weekend for this one)

I will get the chapter up this upcoming Sunday!

Cheers,

Silence

GUYS GUYS GUYS. Lyeundu made fanart of the boys in Gabriel's first game XD THey look great!! Sam is so beautifully feminine, I love it so much, LOL Dean would have a blast making fun of our poor boy. This is phenomonal, thank you for sharing, Lyeundu! :D :D :D

Post Coming Soon!

I owe you all a post this weekend, and while it is behind schedule (I usually post Sat night), it will be up tonight. I am in Las Vegas for a whirlwind birthday weekend, but heading home today. I will get the chapter up tonight, once I get home and have a moment to edit and organize 😊

Cheers,

Silence

Anna Milton

I'm watching the Anna episode, and I've got so many thoughts for this one. My first watch through, I struggled to like Anna after she remembered she was an angel. In part because she becomes a lot more stoic - she became who she used to be, and the human version of her seemed to just be...gone. I think Anna would have been way more interesting as a mix of human with a lifetime of angelic memory. And she gets a little more like that while she's talking to Dean on that car trunk in the Yard. But there's still too little of that human she used to be left in her personality for me. It made that whole sex scene between her and Dean feel...empty? Anna had so little personality once she became an angel, and approached Dean with the same lack of personality, so it didn't feel...erm...passionate. Let's call it that. As someone who identifies as ACE and also thinks there is way too much sex-for-sex's-sake in our media/entertainment, it bothered me on my first watch through. It bothered me less with time, but it always seemed out of place. (OMG, also, can we PLEASE talk about how she puts her hand over Cas's handprint? Like?!!? SHE WOULD KNOW WHAT THAT WAS. That made the whole thing seem very...hmm...like a pointed message to her former suboridnate 🤣) ((As does the kiss she gives Dean, which the show very purposefully cut to Cas's reaction for. Like. You don't cut to another guy's face mid-kiss for no reason.)) (((Personally, I think it was a way to start showing Castiel's...weakness for humanity. Not necessarily romantically, but for sure in curiosity. It fits too when later everyone shuts their eyes when Anna gets her grace back expect Cas. He's staring at her with such open curiosity and awe. I'm pretty sure it took way fewer episodes for me to fall in love with Cas, but this one cemented it))) Anyhoo, back to Anna! I struggled with her more and more every episode she was in because she just went more and more stoic-angel. And what a bummer! She had soooo much potential to be a cool, involved character. I never understood why they didn't use her more. Second thought - Part of me wants to have gone further into why Anna chose to fell, especially with the possible rising tension in the upper ranks of Heaven with the Apocalypse coming. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to lay groundwork for Heaven being the bad guy. Anna either found out more than she wanted to know or just got a sense Heaven wasn't what it was supposed to be. They show could have sprinkled a bit of that in and made Anna more of a key player in being on the humans' side when the time came. Third part! Oh My God. Why was Dean sooo damn interested in her after he found out she was an angel. He was a bit flirty when she was human, but guys, it like...tripples once she reveals she's an angel. He does the whole half-smirk, green-doe-eyed smile around her allllll the time. Guys. Dean is so hot for angels, and the second one came along with them female looks, he was ON THAT 👀 Aaaaaangel kiiiiiiiiiiink. That's our boy!

Lastly, can we talk about Alistair knowing how to exorcise Cas? I don't fully know why that hit me in the good-storytelling bits, but oh boy did it. And I love that Dean saves him from it. You could argue it's kinda just nature for Dean in a fight, but that was Alistair he was taking on. The whole point of that battle was to let the angels and demons fight each other (and get out of the way), and he couldn't let Alistair "kill" Cas. I love how early on that friendship was being written. They could have had it be Sam or Dean or Anna who got Alistair off Cas, but nope! They picked Dean 😁 Anyhoo, that's my ramble for tonight! I'm supposed to be writing (I haven't written anything in two weeks 😭) but since I'm stuck on the damn Morton House (seriously - have I ever told you guys I don't like writing Sam when he's away from Dean? THEY are supposed to be the co-dependent ones, dammit 🙄) I thought hey, I'll post here! At least I'm keeping those writing/Supernatural/fangirl vibes flowing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So! Help me get some planning gears in motion. What do you all want to see out of Anna in TRSF? I have one idea at the moment, but I don't know if I'll go that way, as it conveniently takes Anna out of the story. And I juuust ranted about how much I did not like the show for doing that🤦‍♀️ She'd get to live happily as a human at least! But the more I think about it, the more I know she has potential as a character. I also know that the Muse and I have a habit of shying away from the women on the show Dean gets busy with. A small part of me thinks "NO, he's for Cas, back off ladies!", but that's me fangirling and I know that. A bigger part of me doesn't want to write him getting intimate with other characters (although for some reason, Cassie and Lisa don't trigger this at all - just Bela and Anna). The largest part yet is actually just angry and holding a grudge against the show writers for the amount of queer-baiting we got followed by under-developed and sometimes forced-on-us relationships, particularly with Dean.

Hmm, that's probably why Cassie and Lisa don't trigger this issue. Those relationships well developed and had purpose/fullfillment in them. Plus, the characters were well written and had depth! But Anna's relationship with Dean felt especially forced. And so my default planning definitely went towards avoiding her. Heeey, look at me writing out my thought process until I reached an understanding! Now I know why I want to avoid Anna, which means it's time to get the Muse working on the exact opposite 🤣 And that ramble got away from me. Go back to telling me what you all want to see from an Anna story arc in TRSF! Please and Thank you in Advance for all ideas and inspiration! 😁
