more yuletide + general fannish nonsense

[aria]

And this morning I have a Yuletide treat!

Get What You Want [Whip It]
This is a wee Bliss/Pash fic, and utterly delightful! There's the derby team being encouraging, and jokes about hipsters, and Bliss making a typical spur-of-the-moment decision, and it makes me all fuzzy and happy.

In other news, in between my Yuletide reading, I ... seem to be watching Dark Angel. I've been meaning to for a while anyway, because one can never have too many post-apocalyptic Seattle cityscapes and girls with superpowers and canonical lesbians (whom the writing doesn't fail too often, though I still twitch occasionally, aaand we did have a dead lesbian a few episodes ago, but I'm pretty sure Original Cindy makes it) and it is kind of delightful! I am waiting for it to get awful in second season or something, but to be perfectly honest I might not even notice, because I just hit the season one episode with baby Jensen Ackles and temporarily lost all my critical thinking functions -- jury's still out whether this is because I've trained myself to see Jensen's face and shut down critical thinking skills so I don't try to reach through my computer and murder the episode writers, or because baby Jensen is just that fucking beautiful. Probably a bit of both!

Drifting off to sleep last night, I began idly wondering what a Dark Angel/Supernatural fusion would be like, but that thought is better cut off at the pass, because it would turn into an epic in which Dean and Sam and Jo and, fuck it, Cas and Gabriel and Ruby and Anna, all escape Manticore as children; Sam and Dean manage to stay together for a couple of years, and when they have to split up, Dean keeps moving, and Sam ends up being adopted by Bobby and pretending to live a normal life for a while. Obviously then they meet up again and go on the run, and Dean is obsessed with finding their other siblings, and Sam just wants to be ~normal~, and I'm not sure who's after them from Manticore, if it's John or Zachariah or what, but IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I'M NOT WRITING IT.

In conclusion, baby Jensen Ackles.

Oh Baby Jensen Ackles. Also, Baby Michael Weatherly (as a person with a wee addiction to NCIS, I find watching episodes of that and DA back to back absolutely hilaaaaaarious)

As for the crossover, I'd like to put my two cents in for Zachariah as Manticore. Mainly because I think
[slight spoilers for S2]
conversations between Zachariah, Lydecker and Ames White (who you meet in the second season) would be highly, highly entertaining. John would, I think, be wary of Lydecker but just shoot White, which sort of reduces the enjoyment (or maybe increases it for some...)

...oh my god, Logan is Tony. *brain explodes* I was shown a bit of NCIS, but ages ago, so my brain didn't make the connection. I love how Dark Angel is full of Actors You Know From Something Else.

Now that I am in s2, I am all for Zachariah&White adventures. And you're right, John would just shoot him. Heh.

[dementedsiren]

Yes, Logan-Tony is a thing of amusing joy. Michael Weatherly is one of those guys who I really wish had a meta-verse where his characters could meet one another.

Dropping John into various canon continuities would probably end up with him shooting a lot of people, actually. I'm sort of envisioning mini-skits where you see a canon (Dark Angel, or NCIS, Buffy, Star Wars, Merlin, Smallville, etc.) and characters are going about their daily routine, someone does/says something really stupid and then bam John Winchester appears and just starts shooting.

Sort of like the cure for the common stupid character.
(sometimes may fandom daydreams get a bit violent...I should probably be worried about that)

Oh my god, laughing so hard. I really hope that John would go after the Initiative guys in Buffy. Also, probably Glory, but I doubt that would be particularly effective. (And I am fairly sure the entire town of Smallville is doomed.)

[dementedsiren]

OMG John vs the Initiative would be hilarious. I can imagine his face, like "wait, you really thought that capturing and experimenting on monsters and creating your own was a good idea?" and they get all military on him and, well, he really can't be blamed for what comes next.

And then he grabs a beer and calls Bobby because JFC just how stupid is the government?
