OK, I'll bite. Can someone please explain what's up with all these references to JP and "Gen" and "Jen"? Is this yet another product of some wanktastic wankitude or something else entirely? Normally I have a clue, but this just sailed straight over my head and is orbiting some alien gas giant past the Oort Cloud. Am I going to regret asking about this?
And why is there not an option for "STUPID" in my mood theme? Is that not a relevant emotion/state of being for life? Hello? Doesn't everyone walk around feeling stupid about 75% of the time or is that just me? Wait, maybe don't answer that.

I assume if there's wank, it's likely something about Jared with a possible girlfriend. *shrugs*

I wasn't aware of any wank about this--and I usually stay far away from it. So hopefully I just didn't step in it!

Funny how just a simple picture can cause such discourse.

You and me both. This journal is a wank-free zone.
Let me just get on my wank soapbox for one nanosecond and say, "I think anonymous commenting is ridiculous."
But that comm is my first stop when wank is in the air and I have no idea what people are talking about. Anon commenting is the norm there and on its big sister Fandom Wank, apparently it produces more LOLz. Or something.
And it was very apt. :D I think after clicking on the Fandom Wank link, my eyes ARE BLEEDING! What is that scary place?!?! I only have one word: WHY?!
If you wanted to know what my personal hell would be never ending marking/grading (guess what I've been doing for the last couple of days *chants, "die mideterms die"*), a fatal allergy to chocolate, and my flist entirely morphed into the Fandom Wank community complete with e-mail spam. Oh, the horror! Also, in there would be a world without a S5 for SPN. D:
Well, at least they're usually making fun of wankers and not wanking themselves, so that's a plus. Wait a minute, does that make it meta wank? Wank meta? O.o
guess what I've been doing for the last couple of days
I did wonder what you've been up to. *hands you a brand new red pen* But you're right, a fatal allergy to chocolate would be hellish. My personal hell would probably involve being stranded on a tiny deserted island with Joey and Phoebe from "Friends". Ugh.
Heh! This just proves anything can be turned into meta. Now what I want to see is crack!wankmeta. LOL.
I did wonder what you've been up to. *hands you a brand new red pen*
I'm almost done. Whew. I've also had a friend visiting for a while so there's been entertaining happening and sharing my computer and no time for writing about anything, let alone meta or an episode review. :(

Remember to add at the end "without blueberry pie and an internet connection". ;)
Is there an option for flakey? That's my defualt setting. ;)
Heh! With this fandom anyone he dates (even you. uh. of course) is sure to cause an uproar. But, you know, if that's the cost... *wink*
Is there an option for flakey?
There is no flakey either. FAIL. In addition to "stupid" and "flakey", the following options should be added to all mood themes specifically for the SPN fandom:
"angsty"
"possessed"
"dead"
"wanky"
"fangirly"
"caffeinated"
I don't know how most moodthemes work because I haven't done anything new with them for at least two/three years now but I do remember that I could just type something in and pick an image. Huh. I need a new moodtheme. But I don't think that I could find enough Zelda screencaps to do so...
Tch, I find that I care little about who's dating who just as long as whoever it is can actually act with one another without making goopy lovey-faces. And so far the only goopy-lovey faces have really happened in Monster Movie between Sam and Dean. Very goopy, that look.
Besides, if they're going to let the Js girlfriend's on set, I'm waiting for Danneel Harris. Rowrr. <3Like this:

Oo, so you're saying I could potentially create my own mood theme, complete with crazywank!cat. Hmm, tempting.

So very sweet and goopy that I got two cavities immediately after watching.
I'm waiting for Danneel Harris.
I always forget about her for some reason. Maybe it's because it really doesn't feel like JA has a girlfriend as he's so private. I saw Ten-Inch Hero and DH's boobs in all their bouncing glory. All I could think was "Is that really necessary?" But she's an attractive woman, bouncing boobs and all.
I think it's a good thing that I never saw TIH then because I was saved from the bouncing boobies. I did see her in Harold & Kumar which probably had an equally absurd sex scene but the fact that it was absurd (plus I think the bra stayed ON) made it okay..ish. Okay for a frat movie about pot at least.
I do hope that if Jared's dating again, he's followed Jensen's example and is not saying a word. He babbles too much already
even though I think he's awesome for that.Awesome! Thanks for sharing that little trick. I really get a kick out of crazywank!cat and could probably find about 10,000 relevant emotions just to fit that one picture so I'd have an excuse to use it all the time.
which probably had an equally absurd sex scene
Maybe she just likes absurd sex
scenes. *giggles*He babbles too much already even though I think he's awesome for that
The fact he just TALKS but yet makes sense (recall his infamous dangerous hippo comment) kills me. It's so darn enduring because clearly he's not stupid under all that goofiness and he just lets it all hang out like he doesn't care what people think of him or his blabbery talk. I like his lack of pretense. And the fact he's a huge dork.
Heh, I'm either convinced Jared Padalecki is an absolute non-pretentious genius, or a genius at making us think he's a non-pretentious genius. I don't know which one is sneakier.
*shoots you a baleful look*
*laughs*
This fandom is nutzo!
Why do some crazy fangirls care so much who-schtoompfs-who???
It warms my heart to know that this time I've been able to bring joy by passing along such vital, earth-shattering information. ;)

That is another option that should be added to every mood theme! :D

I have NO clue. It confuzzles me.
I was more interested in the comment that they'd planned to rotate the actress playing Ruby. I'd rather expected from the beginning that they'd do that since (1) They didn't make any big deal about her coming on the show, publicity-wise, and (2) You'd think that would save them money, hiring several actresses with smaller roles.
I was really hoping that the CRD call in CAiaD was going to end up being Lilith instead.
For example, if she and LC were contracted for 10 episodes each but appeared in only 6, would they have to be paid for the others? I think perhaps not, because then canceled shows would face the same problem. I think that if an actor has show credits they have to be paid for any episode made, regardless of if they appeared in it or not (no doubt another reason why we only have 2 regular cast members in SPN).
I'm more ambivalent about the body-swapping issues because, as you pointed out, no one but Sera seemed to consider it important. And by the time 4.09 aired, they'd already have long made a decision about what to do re: changing the actor or not. I mean, by November they had already filmed up to 4.12 and were about to film 4.13 where she appears again. Ruby had had pretty brief appearances up until 4.09 and maybe they'd been satisfied with what she was doing.
It could cost more to do multiple casting calls too come to think of it. I don't really see how Cortese "blew them away", I really don't, but I also don't know what Kripke is specifically looking for. The original Ruby sides were for "Kristy" and if I remember right it wasn't exactly all that challenging.
I hadn't thought about the cost of multiple casting calls, but it's a good point. Although they have to be holding them anyway for various roles each week. I have no idea if they are obligated to hold open calls for parts or can simply offer them to people if they see someone who would be suitable.
Sorry to butt in. I'm not sure about the technicalities either, but I recall JB saying that he got the role of Bobby because someone with some weight (a contact from "Deadwood"?) told Bob Singer to just hire him straight out. I thought JB might've even said he was doubtful Singer even looked at his audition tape (which was then followed by a self-depreciating joke about that being lucky for him).
I suspect casting calls are looser and less regulated than we'd think. For whatever this is worth, LC originally auditioned for Ruby but was asked to (obviously) play Bela. I know the casting call that MC replied to was advertised as "a demon" and only once in the audition did they tell him the real role was for an angel.
I saw those, too. I didn't get the sense from them that they'd gone to the event together, though. But, then again, I don't really think too hard about these things and I can be rather oblivious. Duh.
they'd planned to rotate the actress playing Ruby....
I immediately thought that they might've decided to keep a single actress so the audience and actors (JP and JA) could build a relationship with the character. I'd imagine it would be hard to keep Ruby consistent and sell her story and her relationship with the boys to the audience if a new actress were portraying her every appearance. I'm just thinking about the 4 different actresses we've seen portray her already and each were different. I think it has been a challenge for the writers to portray her in an even light so far, I can't imagine what it would be like to have different actresses putting their own spin on her on top of that.
I'd imagine it would be hard to keep Ruby consistent and sell her story and her relationship with the boys to the audience if a new actress were portraying her every appearance.
That could be, especially since developing characters is not exactly a strong point of this writing team.
I wouldn't argue with that point. Even so, it seems rather sad that's a problem for this show being that they're writers. I suppose when/if I get frustrated with the story, I'll just concentrate on the camera work and the more visually-oriented (shallow) side of my show appreciation. ;) SPN, a show that something for everyone.
Apparently Jared and Geneiveve (however that's spelt) who plays Ruby have been seen together twice - both times little more than in the same chunk of air, certainly not snuggling or holding hands! - and some juvenile fans are flipping over it.
In other words, they are either, A) totally unable to separate Geneivive from Ruby, or B) their dislike for Ruby (or G's portrayal of Ruby) has them convinced that G herself must be a bad and undesirable person.
Which is fucking stupid, because since when does a friggin' ACTING PART say a single thing about the actor's worth as a PERSON?
As you can tell, I find it utterly moronic, and I'm glad my flist is letting the bullshit flow on by.
::SMISH!::
P.S.
Eye kant spel.

Oh, honey, you do NOT wanna know.
Heh. Now I know. ;)

Since this invention of drama for the sake of drama and wanktastic wankitude became a hobby for people who like to throw stones and leave anonymous comments for other wanky people in weird LJ communities? *snort* How was wank ever propagated efficiently though snail mail? Ah, the internet, uniting wankers across the world! The world is clearly a better place now. ;)
Eye kant spel.
LOL!!! *smish* Spell check is my friend.
Yes, snailmail would kinda make wank no fun. Back then, I guess we just had to rely on gossip magazines for our wank. Hee!
Or maybe long-distance conference phone calls. ;) Can you imagine the verbal/auditory equivalents to ranting, irrational caps lock #%^$*!!@!@ D: D8 $*(#$ key smashing? Wank would end because we'd all be deaf!
*sportle*
Oh, the inarticulate screeching and wordless sputtering! Hee!
(And it must be getting late, because that really strikes me as incredibly hilarious ....)
*nods* Esp. because my jokes are so incredibly LAME that it's a miracle anyone laughs beyond the obligatory, polite equivalent of a golf clap. Thankfully that doesn't translate through netspeak. A "LOL" and a "golf-clap-omg-you-suck-and-that's-why-I'm-l
My flist is so indulgently awesome!
anymore. lol Kidding. I know of the wank, and while I'm not exactly a fan of the whole Genevieve/Jared rumors, mostly because I'm 85% sure she's already got a boyfriendand secondly because JARED BELONGS WITH JENSEN, I don't really care much. I mean, if Jared's happy and all that jazz, then cool with meas long as it's with Jensen. lolWhy are you looking at me like that? Is my tinhat too shiny?

*puts on sunglasses* :D I wasn't aware tinfoil could ever be TOO shiny. You know, J2 communities could seriously help counteract global warming. If everyone wore their shiny tinhats every time they went outside, I bet a significant amount of solar radiation would be reflected back into space. WHOO, fandom harnessing reflectivity and albedo to SAVE THE WORLD! \o/
THIS! And to all those haters who look at us like we're nuts, we can say HA! We're saving the world, what are you doing?
:D
We should petition Congress to tinhat the vast surface of earth. The Statue of Liberty would look awesome in a tinhat. See? Epic LOVE saves all. ;)
Copper is so 1886. lol
Epic LOVE saves all.
TRUFAX.
*dies laughing* LOL!
I love you and your awesome sense of humor!
* has decided that random Matrix quotes are a more fun than saying "bet ya wished you didn't ask, eh?" *

You're where the fun is at! *sprints after you*
Dude, the fun's always with me. *dances with the boys*
