I'm done with the monkey dance*

[bending_sickle]

I haven't been posting lately, I know. Part of that is because of the late evenings out I've been having - movies, concerts, and so on - and part of that is because I've been editing a fanvid like I've been breathing, and since Windows Movie Maker eats WordPad if they so much as look at each other, writing up Links of the Day hasn't been getting done, which means I feel like I can't post unless there's something I really want to say. So here I am, trying to get back on the posting horse.

Today mom and I went to watch Habemus Papam which was supposed a comedy, but is only one during the scenes not dealing with the main character. It's about a cardinal who gets elected as pop and he really doesn't feel like he's up to the task, and goes into a depression and eventually runs away from the Vatican before he's announced as pope. So very sad to see the man struggle with a role that's been placed on his shoulders, and the acotr - Michel Piccoli - is amazing. And he has the most wonderful, loving, grandfatherly-popely smile. (Oh, and IMDB's synopsis is a lie, because it so is not centered around the relationship between the pope and his therapist. That lasts a single audience. The King's Speech this is not. It's one man, alone, trying to figure out what to do and being scared to death of what he's asked to do.)

I'm really excited about this weekend because it will involve Easter chocolate, Supernatural, and Doctor Who. Stetsons, here we come!

A word about last week's Supernatural: When Castiel said that he wanted the boys to remember Fate, and what happened - "Because I wanted you to remember it." - I mentally tacked on, "...for later. When you find out."

Because I think Castiel is scared of losing Dean when he finds out what exactly the angel's been doing to try and win the war. He doesn't want Dean to completely reject him over his actions, wants him to have a chance at keeping their "special bond" despite everything. And we all know Dean can be a complete bastard to Castiel over lesser things. (I haven't quite forgiven him for calling Castiel a dick. That's the other angels. Not Cas.)

Thanks for the rec. Also, I totes agree with this:

A word about last week's Supernatural: When Castiel said that he wanted the boys to remember Fate, and what happened - "Because I wanted you to remember it." - I mentally tacked on, "...for later. When you find out."

[fannishliss.livejournal.com]

Hi! pingback bot told me you had linked to my song -- I hope you liked it!! :)

[seschat.livejournal.com]

♥♥ HI LOVE

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

♥ HUGGABLE LOVE!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You're welcome for the rec :)

And I can't wait for the blow-out when the boys find out what Cas is doing.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did! The lyrics are smack-on Sam, the chorus is catchy (my favorite bit is the line and melody of "it's so hard to do this thing we d") and I absolutely adore the beat ♥ I've downloaded your other songs and will be giving them a listen too.

[preciselythat.livejournal.com]

Hello! I just got a notification saying you'd recced me. Thank you for the rec, and I hope you liked the fic! =D

=Arya.

[seschat.livejournal.com]

OKAY NOW I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT CAS MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT BE DOING :D

*hasn't watched the ep yet*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! It was a lovely, very haunting fic ♥

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Cas is being ~*morally grey*~ and sneaky and deliciously wonderful, all action and planning and Big Boss of Heaven. I need like, a whole spin-off show about what he's doing in heaven. Watch! These past two episodes have been absolutely brilliant and full of love.

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Hah, I'm currently in the middle of My Heart Will Go On, and since I've gone in completely unspoiled my reaction upon Sam and Dean getting into that Mustang was: WHOA NOW HOLD ON

*pauses*

*stares at screen*

WHAT DID I MISS. O___O

XD Anyway - loving it so far! And I really want a spin-off about the angel civil war as well. We get to see too little of Cas!

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Eeee! Tell me what you think of the episode when you're finished! Especially regarding Cas ;)

[seschat.livejournal.com]

I actually very much agree with your review/observation of Cas' fate-talk. His methods might be questionable, but it's not like you can blame him, right? He's on his own, and even Sam and Dean don't always properly appreciate him/have his back. :|

Okay, moving on to Frontierland. Looks like the best kind of crack :D

[sistabro]

Thanks for the rec :)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You know how I've kinda always wanted to take Dean in and bake him pie? Well, I still would want to do that, but Cas is getting the first slice. Poor angel is a mess and very alone :(

Frontierland was indeed the highest quality crack ever :D

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[monday7112.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the rec! I'm glad you enjoyed the fic.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome :)
