Random question.

[randomling]

So here's a silly question to help me avoid the writing I'm trying to do. (Two and a half more scenes, and my chapter is done. At which point I'll go to bed.)

I'm way behind on SPN. Like - my sister is a huge fan. She doesn't download, but watches it on British TV when it comes, which by the end of the season is usually only a few weeks late. Though, due to the weirdness of American TV seasons, that means we start very late, as British TV shows all the epsiodes consecutively. She's been showing me the first season on DVD and I've been slowly falling in love with the boys (they are kind of adorable); the last I saw was the first episode of S2.

I am not very spoiled for S2, apart from the handful of episodes I've already seen, which are really dotted about the place, I have no idea what order they're even in. I know that Sam is a... okay, I don't know exactly what Sam is, but I know it's Bad.

I am spoiled for the end of S3, because adelate was flailing so hard and I had to know why, and back then, I didn't really care.

So my question is this. I probably won't see S4 for quite some time, as I'm going to be obsessive now about seeing this show in order, and I have two whole seasons to catch up. Should I spoil myself? Or keep myself pure?

I think staying pure is the best option. But It all depends if you are still able to enjoy a show if you know the ending.

[catviret.livejournal.com]

I can still enjoy. But I enjoy less, it's true. So probably staying pure is the best option, isn't it?

OMG LUCY. LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111 I AM FLAILING AND GRINNING SO HARD RIGHT NOW LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!!!!!1 noora is awesome; she totally dragged me into this fandom, too.

i am totally voting for pure. i kept myself unspoiled and then downloaded everything off the net and watched all three seasons, like, in three days. it was awesome. i think season 4 will lose a lot of its impact if you spoil yourself, especially if you're obsessive about seeing the show in order (which you should be!!!)

[adelate]

Isn't it awesome what a meme can do? Since without it we wouldn't have had the question about when Sam and Dean would break up/part ways which finally got you watching. ;)

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

YES IT IS. MEMES ARE DA BOMB. as are you, because you dragged me into this fandom when all others had failed! <33333

[adelate]

Haha! Me FTW! \O/ <- big head, hahaha, you should stop before it gets bigger ;)

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

\O/ <- big head

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

i don't believe this could ever happen! *encourages!*

[catviret.livejournal.com]

[beams] I am quite a way away from throwing myself wholeheartedly into the fandom? Pop is so enough for me! But I have been loving the show.

I think you're right, I need to keep avoiding the S4 spoilers that are EVERYWHERE on my flist. (EVERYWHERE, Nat!) And possibly get onto downloading the rest of S2 and watching it. Because... OMG their dad just died and.... Dean!

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

omg, you say that now, lucy! BUT YOU WILL FALL FOR THEM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. it is inevitable! the winchesters decree it! although right now i'm just majorly excited that you like it at all!

AND I KNOW, I KNOW IT'S HARD! the day of the s4 premiere i barred myself from my flist till i had downloaded the episode and watched it! the whole time i was all: *twitches uncomfortably*

and OMG S1 FINALE. S2 PREMIERE! it is still two of my favourite eps of ALL time! i can't wait till you see all of it!

[catviret.livejournal.com]

...I sorta wish I had an SPN icon. Just one. I may have to go on a hunting trip (ahaha).

And I may have read a couple of fics. Just a couple. 'Cause they popped up on my flist, you know. (I have NOT read any of the stuff that's cropped up since 4x01, 'cause that would be annoying, reading the fic before I saw the ep.)

Er, anyway. Yes. [twitch] I may have to download. And like, bribe myself, an hour of writing, an hour of SPN - I must finish this book!

They are awesome aren't they?

Daddy getting possessed!

And Sam not being able to shoot him! (OMG Sam you should have! But I know it was So Hard. Oh, Sam.)

And Dean! DEAN. Oh, Dean, my Dean, I swear Sam is mostly my favourite, but, DEAN. :(

Dean being dead! And the Reaper and the awful deal that Daddy made with the demon and Sam being... something... and poor Dean having the weight of the world on his shoulders again and then their father's dead and... OH BOYS.

I really have to see some more.

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

.........i sorta hope you find one. soon. noora probably has better icon reccomendations than i, but i'm kind of particular to emesque and sweetgirl7808 (KISSING! BOYS! OH, HEART!)

and dude. duuuuuuuuuude. once you are done with bittybang and spn, you need to sit down and, like, go through spn_j2_bigbang from entry numero uno. it is so fantastic and will also get you hooked on j2, for srs.

this is VERY GOOD INCENTIVE to finish your book (which you are more than half your way to doing! \o/!!!!!) also, YOUR SPN SQUEE! IT MAKES ME GIDDY. <3333333333

[adelate]

noora probably has better icon reccomendations than i
Hi, I so don't! I make my own or then someone recs some icon post, I have no icon comms or icon makers that I go to for new stuff. :D

abouttwoboys also has awesome fic (it's J2 and SPN movie fusions) and I personally loved the harlequin challenge. :D And yes, the Big Bang... so much awesome!

(Psst Nat, let's totally pull Lucy over to the dark SPN side, huh?)

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

then lucy should just steal ALL YOUR ICONS because they are totally fabulous and awesome.

oh, god, i love abouttwoboys so much, it's kind of ridiculous. but there is no way anyone can get through ALL THAT AWESOME and still not be in looooooooove. (...and after the SPN side comes the CWRPS *whistles*)

gah, noora! i feel so bad for asking but i did this ridiculous, short pre-j2 blurb for my bittybang epilogue (*headdesk*) and i was wondering if i could put you on my filter so you could, i don't know, look it over really quick?

[adelate]

Awww thank you! (As if anything could be more win than THAT ONE, Nat!)

CWRPS FTW. J2 makes me so happy! Heee.

Oh feel free! I am at work but when I get home I will try to remember!

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

..... there's this one? *cough*

it should make EVERYONE happy. starafar has recently succumbed and is now working her way through j2! we're taking over the world one lj user at a time!

<3 d'aww, thank you!

[adelate]

FHDASJFJSAFKLD AT WORK, NAT, OMG. [stares anyway] [looks over shoulder every now and then in case boss shows up unexpectedly]

YAY FOR J2!

[adelate]

Stay unspoiled! I never would have spoiled you for any of it if I had known you would get into it! And tell me if you want uploads 'cause bb I will upload. [g]

[catviret.livejournal.com]

[clings] I didn't know I was about to care! And - you know - I don't think you told me a lot about how it happens, and I think that the event itself was something I probably could have predicted based on what I knew?

And honey... ooh, when I get home tomorrow, I might well trouble you for the first few episodes of S2. ♥

[adelate]

Wheee! I will start uploading tonight! :DDDD

[catviret.livejournal.com]

Ooh thank you! [beams and snuggles you]

[adelate]

Sweet! I'll be uploading to this folder here. Three are already up.

[catviret.livejournal.com]

DUDE. You are SO QUICK!

I sort of wish I was on my own computer so I could watch right away. Or... that my dad wouldn't notice the TV episodes on his computer, ahem.

[adelate]

Oh would he mind? [enables]

IDK, MU was quick for these but seems to be stalling for 2x04. Bah.

[catviret.livejournal.com]

I think he would mind. And also notice, since he is able to walk, and would probably wander in just as the credits were running, or something. (And I would so watch them, oh yes.)

I could download after he'd gone to bed, watch, and delete before I went to sleep? I stay up late...

[adelate]

Ooh cunning plan! I like it. :D

[catviret.livejournal.com]

[is cunning]

I think I need an SPN icon. Just one. Like, Dean and Sam, being awesome somewhere. Any idea where I might get one?

[adelate]

Hmmm, I can't really say. I tend to come by mine accidentally. If you like any of mine that I've made, feel free to use them. :)

[catviret.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! :)

I shall go on a hunting trip. :)

[adelate]

Have fun! :D

[adelate]

Episodes have been uploaded up to 2x12, now. :))

[catviret.livejournal.com]

\0/

Thank you so much honey!

[adelate]

:D It's my pleasure! I can't wait for you to see them. :)))

[catviret.livejournal.com]

[bounces] It might actually generate some content on my LJ that is not bittybang spam. Hurray!

(My poor flist. You're being so abused with my posts about "The Plan".)

[adelate]

It just makes me envious because my BB is not going ANYWHERE. I'm at under 2,000 words and I kind of hate it all. :(

[catviret.livejournal.com]

Oh honey! :(

Is there something I can do? Would talking about it help? I am here!

I mean, I have to write Lynn now, distract me!

Seriously. Let me know if I can help at all. I have more free time than I know what to do with and your writing rocks. :D

[adelate]

I am just not feeling the story at all. I've already scrapped two tries, I don't know what I'm doing at all.

Also [poke] I am on Gtalk. :)

[nopseud]

I'd stay unspoilered, because there are only about two actual plot points every series, so you might as well enjoy them.

[adelate]

Ahahahahahahahhaha!

[catviret.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's a fair point, you know. :D

(I like it, all the same!)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yes, stay unspoiled!

That way the episodes will have the correct impact.

[catviret.livejournal.com]

That is my current plan! The lovely adelate is uploading for me, so I'm going to get to see them soon!
