BAH HA--yes, I really enjoyed farmer!angel jumping on his tractor, too. Very Beverly Hillbillies. I picture him arriving ten days after everyone else, going, "Where's that goldurn Dean Winchester at?"
And ha ha, gas $2.35 in Colorado! SPN literally sets things in CO five times more often than in any other state, and we are continually chortling over this, because we've traveled extensively, especially around here, and it never bears the slightest resemblance to where they say it is. "Just outside Grand Junction"? Then where's all the strip-mined mesas, and why are there so many trees? "Monument"? Very large police station for Monument, which serves primarily as a truckstop right on the highway between two major cities. You couldn't Google streetview this shit? I've been to B.C., too. I assume they like to assume it most resembles CO because of the mountains in the distance, but ... no. Just, no.
YES, IT HAS LONG BEEN SO RIDICULOUS. I guess that's why I don't even notice anymore. I was getting all upset about it, but then I too was remembering how the show started going off the rails ~S4 and has only gone farther afield ever since. Which is peachy by me, because I love careening all over terra incognita, but I can see how some people, you know, find the show MAYBE a tiny bit silly.
Comas. Well, we've already gone to amnesia and evil twins, so I suppose it had to come around sometime. ;-D (Brace yourself--I think they HAVE discussed a musical episode ....) The coma thing is one of the ways in which I got jossed--I'm dying to see what you think of that fic and the related meta.
Hmm ... Dean h/c, let me think about this, because I LOVE LOVE it, but yeah, not the trashy stuff (I TOTALLY agree about not a derogatory way, because there's trashy stuff I LOVE, just not this particular thing). I just read those prompts, and I'm like, "Really?" Dean breaks his neck, Dean loses his legs, Dean gets IBS. The idea of Dean laid so low kills me. What I love so much about Dean is his vibrant life-force, his never-quit attitude, so these things make me think of him kinda ... no longer getting to be Dean, which makes me sad. Whereas what I do enjoy is that which has already undone him. Frankly, I think he suffered WAY more than Sam did when they were kids. He bore the brunt of everything, AND he had to suck it up and try to make everything nice for Sam. I really feel like he got broken in a way Sam never did, partly because he saw to it Sam never had to be thus broken (and making him resent and passive-aggressively punish Sam consequently forever after), and I could write reams about that.
Then again, while I'm more into hurt!Sam, it's the same kinds of things I dig for him--psychological hurt more than physical, I guess, or physical as a manifestation of psychological.
Aw, you're so sweet. Chances are I will write that fic one day, after it's percolated in my mind for a while and maybe collided with something else. (And I saw that someone else at least said they liked the prompt, too! So I don't feel so bad about it just not feeling right to comment.)
