Supernatural 4x14

They're bisexual?

No, seriously. They're bisexual?

This is, in my opinion, the awesomest shit to awesome.

I'm not going to apologise; normally I have to watch Torchwood to see non-monosexuals on television. I'm going to revel.

So... the siren is clearly (both in traditional mythology and in Show mythology) a sexual beastie. The siren takes whatever form the victim most desires. For Dean, it takes the form of a man. And then, after a speech on how it loves to fall in love and one of them can live with it happily ever after. And then Sam and Dean fight to the death over who gets to have happily-ever-after with the man who looks vaguely like a less attractive Dean-Castiel hybrid.

Thank you, for putting bisexuals on an American show that isn't about sexuality. Show, you have no idea how happy that you've made me. You have no idea what it means that... I mean, wow. And that it's not all about the sex (which, Torchwood, you're guilty of) but love. Oh, god, that's... Wow. And... Yeah. Reveling now.

However, my mother caught onto the incestuous undercurrent of the show.

She figured that Ms. Widowed Doctor Lady was the siren. And as Sam was sexing her and it cut to commercial, my mother looked at me and said something to the effect of, "But now he has to kill Dean and that makes Dean Sam's wife."

So... My mother's picked up on the gay incest in Supernatural. She still wants to watch it with me - although she's starting to think I should marry Dean and not Sam - but... I don't even know. I feel like it has to be really obvious since she still hasn't figured out that Captain Jack and Ianto are sexing it up.

Otherwise, I liked the use of the siren. I adore that Bobby can read ancient Greek (this totally backs up my fic!) and wears an apron. I liked hearing what's going on with Sam, at least a little, although it totally breaks me that they're falling apart like this. I want the boys to be together! (However, the presence of the siren implies things - that what they really want is each other. Which. More incest. Thanks, Show.)

This is, so far, one of my favorite episodes this season. Thank you, Show.

"But now he has to kill Dean and that makes Dean Sam's wife."
LOL Yup, she's definitely onto it.

I need an icon of Dean that says "Sam's wife" on it now. Just for my mom.

[zed-pm.livejournal.com]

That would indeed be awesome.

I must find a better way to make icons than Photobucket....

[zed-pm.livejournal.com]

How do you make icons in photobucket? I usually use Photoshop 7.

[chasingtides.livejournal.com]

I go into the "edit" section and reshape, add text, etc. It's the cheap way (and pirated Photoshop doesn't work on Macs).

[zed-pm.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know you could do that. heh.

[chasingtides.livejournal.com]

It's decent for somethings, but it's really crappy for text. I have yet to find a decent in-browser or Mac-compatible way to make icons. :(

[zed-pm.livejournal.com]

I wish I could help you, bb. I'M not even Mac-compatible. :/

icons

Hi, I recently came across this program, http://www.gimp.org/ , its similar to photoshop in that its a bit complicated
(for me at least, I know next to nothing about image editing), but once you figure out the basic stuff it works fine for icons, even allows animations. it says its Mac compatible, not that i know much about Mac.

Goes back to lurking.... ;-)

I cannot stop making GLEE faces \o/

Also, Bobby FTMFW. The fighting scene at the end bothered me quite a bit - I hate that they're so far out of sync like this, but I'm so excited to see where Show is taking it and how it will be resolved.

Seriously, the gayness was OVERWHELMING this week. And really, usually they're making light of it and trying to prove how NOT gay they are, but this week? DAMN, I was sitting there actually fucking WHIMPERING cause it so was damn obvious. IT MAKES ME HAPPY AS WELL, if only for the awesome wincest fics that are now going to come out of this episode, lol.

I'm going to be metaing on bisexuality and bierasure and HOW THIS IS ABOUT LOVE AND I CANNOT BE HAPPIER THAN HAPPY THINGS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME DON'T GET TO BE ON TELEVISION OKAY?

(Seriously, when our flagship television character is Captain Jack Harkness and one of our more hated myths is that bisexuals sleep with everyone, we've got a long ways to go in media representation - we're always repressed homosexuals, "curious," or sex addicts. I'm seriously dying here.)

You know, I watched it and thought about your Chekov's gun from previous metas that was glittery and sitting in the middle of the room and how obvious it was that they were going that route with this episode too. Which means I totally missed the most obvious part where Show accepted that the boys were bisexual. Thank you for making sure I noticed the simplicity of it, rather than finding all the complex themes. :)

I have to say, I came to your LJ for the Torchwood, but I definitely stay for the Supernatural.
