Sunday Six

[clevermanka]

Started what I hope will be the piece I finish in time for teaotter 's Getting Together Challenge. I'm proposing a late-series get-together--post wormhole! That tiny window of time between the internet broadcast and meeting up with the SID and Nightmare Dude's entourage the next day.

“So. Time travel. That was interesting. I see why you couldn’t talk about that.”

A slight twitch turned up the corner of Shen Wei’s mouth. Relieved, he leaned back, propping himself up on his elbows.

“Any other secrets about your past, well, our past, that you can’t share?”

Shen Wei turned to face him, eyes tracking up his sprawled body, a visible swallow.

“I believe the timeline is safe now.”

How do people count these six, anyway? For the two I've done, I counted a line of dialogue as one line and the other sentences separately.

I am tired, though, and massively distracted by a particular gif that qikiqtarjuaq posted in the latest Guardian Body Language post.

So there's this, which (for those few poor souls still reading me here who aren't fans) happens in the show:


and then there's this fanedit:

which I have watched loop approximately twenty thousand times so far today.

I...just...uhhhhhh....no wording no brain.

Glad you like my six! I wrote those about ten minutes before posting... =D

I am SPN fan-adjacent! My partner mckitterick has dutifully watched every season and I watched (I think?) the first five with him. Also, we live in Lawrence, Kansas, which makes the show extra special for us. I think I remember that episode. Was it Mystery Spot? or was it the one where they fall into the universe where they're the actors in the show?

It really is a very relevant crossover quote for Guardian.

Sometimes I wonder if the show creators did all that stuff on purpose to allow for people to play in the sandbox. It just seems like it happens a lot for a show that's only 40 episodes. I suppose this is where Watsonian vs. Doylist conversations could be helpful.

Aha! So you have all the foundational knowledge! :D It's from the end of season 6, when Sam is trapped in his head with two other versions of himself, trying to figure out what reality is. He's driving along a road at night with someone else, when out in the real world Dean shines a flashlight in his eyes. Inside Sam's head, there's a bright light and night turns into day. He stops the car and jumps out, and his passenger gets out too and asks him what's wrong. "It was night!" he says, "and now it's day!" (His passenger says, "It was always day," and he's like, "No it wasn't!")

So sort of like the censors for Guardian, I guess.

Censors: "It was always a brotherhood!"
Fans: "It was literally never a brotherhood!"

It just seems like it happens a lot for a show that's only 40 episodes.

It sure covers a lot of time relative to how much we actually see on-screen! ♥
