I am probably jinxing myself by even saying this, but I think I can get out of this story at under ten thousand words. For those keeping track at home, I had previously thought it was going to be a thousand word story, sworn I would cut it off by five thousand, and given up in despair around seven thousand. I have written the last scene, which boosted me over eight thousand. Unfortunately I have not written the next-to-last scene, and I am having weird balance issues which lead me to suspect I need more than one scene still, therefore: I can probably get out of this story at under ten thousand words.

Right now I would settle for being able to get out of this story, regardless of how many more words it wants to be. I mean, seriously. It can be fifty thousand words long if it can also be done now. If I could just figure out how to make the thing balance right, I could stop feeling like it wants more scenes just to mock me with its insane word count.

all right, fine, I'm obsessed

So I only have a season or so of Supernatural left to catch up on (second season. Dude, I don't even know) but so I skipped back to 1.21 which is where I left off watching straight through sometime um, last year? And the Road So Far made me tear up and go okay, screw it, watching from the beginning, properly.

At present Mary is a big ball of fire on my screen and I'm forced to wonder: how many of Azazel's special children died in a fire because mommy walked in on things? I mean, seriously. Sure, everyone goes for the baby first in the event of an emergency, but overall it seems unwise to burn down the house of a baby you want to grow up to be hell's Jesus. And if mommy's already dead--well, what if mommy was the only caretaker in the house? Then the baby burns up? If I was Azazel I would have stuck to stabbing Mommy in the womb. Fire is sort of over the top and oh hey might kill the thing you wanted to create. Like, this is a bad plan.

Clearly any special hell's babies that didn't survive crispy mama don't deserve to be the Boy King?

ETA: Hahah Dean did not promise Sam would be back by Monday. No, no he did not. "We got a deal?" Sam says, and Dean does not answer.

ETA2: And maybe this comes up later or maybe I've just forgotten, but is any reason ever given for why Azazel offed Jess? I mean, like, what was he doing there in the first place? If he was looking for Sam, did he seriously go to Sam's residence and not use demon mojo to go where Sam actually was? And if he wasn't looking for Sam, what was he doing?

Oh hell

I've officially fallen down the rabbit hole. Shit.

I am absolutely not writing anything like the stuff I've been reading. Seriously no. Despite that one time I did. Lalala.
