Day 7: 100 Days Challenge

7. Favorite scene from Supernatural?

As I've mentioned, I really like power dynamics. It's a huge kink of mine. Having said that, my favorite scene was from Are You There God? 4x02 when Castiel quietly and calmly threatened Dean with, "I dragged you out of hell. I can throw you back in."

That was not only one of the hottest things I'd ever seen, but I liked that it was a smack in the face for people who always imagined angels as cute babies sitting on fluffy clouds. Angels are warriors of God, and the realization on Dean's face was awesome!

I love the look in Cas' eyes, the tone of voice gives me chills, and the close-up we get of Dean almost-kinda blinking and blown away just makes that scene amazing. It's quiet. And I love when someone can scare the shit out of a person by being quiet and just standing right in front of them saying something instead of resorting to jump-scares.

I'll admit I've got the clip on my computer and watch it every once in a while. Okay, so more than once in a while.

A close second would be when Missouri threatened Dean with the spoon. Because Missouri is awesome, and I love the look on Sam's face. And it's a threatened spanking, so why wouldn't I like it?!

And Cas in the barn. That was so tough, badass, etc. Ooh, and the scene where the angels fell and it looked like shooting stars. And Abaddon manhandling Dean. And any scene with Gabriel in it. And when... yeah, I should stop there. I like a lot of scenes from Supernatural :D

Day 8: 100 Days Challenge

8. What song is almost guaranteed to make you cry?

Tool's Sober. It's a song that I identify with not because I've ever had a problem with alcohol, but because of my mental problems and the fact that many times in my life I've been faced with the decision of drugging myself to oblivion (legal drugs that the docs WANT me to take because they don't know what the hell to do with me or others that have this) and living in that drugged state 24/7 OR dealing with life the best I can with milder pills.

In the song, Maynard is just screaming, gut wrenching growling about why can't we just not deal with all this shit right now (and he has hidden meanings for his hidden meanings, so if somebody else interprets this differently, good for them). I make the choice on a daily basis to deal with life, but it hurts, and I wish I could just... not. I wish I could take the easy way.

There are two medications in particular my doctors prescribe. They give me the choice between them, but they strongly suggest the one I normally DON'T choose. And I shit you not it's a choice between red pills and blue pills. No, really! I think there are a few geeks in the pharmaceutical business (or the Wachowski Brothers share my particular mental problem and were given the same choice) because the blue pills are the ones that kinda help gently knock me back into my regular state, but the red pills just knock me the fuck out for days.

I actually took a picture of the two pills the first time I got them and sent it to a geeky friend of mine with the caption "My doctor is apparently Morpheus!" He laughed so hard his stomach hurt. And then he asked which one I was going to choose.

Back to the song. There've been times I've started crying while listening to Tool's Sober, gotten stuck like that, and had to snap myself out of it by doing something else. I love the song, love listening to it so loud that it makes my ears hurt, but man does it get me.

There are plenty of other songs I like, but none that can get me crying as quickly as this one can.

Tomorrow: 9. What fic are you most proud of writing?
