Tuesday Has No Phones

(Props to merryish for pointing out the useful links.)

If you look at a catastrophic earthquake while it and recovery are still going on and think to yourself "Hey! That's a great setting for a fic!" there is something wrong with you.

Actual dying human beings should not be props for your romantic story. This is not a sentence that should ever have to be written or explained to someone. I would actually rank this advice above, say, "When possible, try not to set yourself on fire." because at least at some point in your life you need to be taught that fire hurts but you should not need to be taught that dying people do not make good backdrops period, let alone for for your J2 AU Big Bang fic. ("One's a doctor! One's a photojournalist! HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS have actually died! Together they fight crime!")

For the love of chocolate and tiny kittens, people! My brain simply cannot comprehend that somebody had this idea, didn't immediately stop herself, had friends and betas who went over the idea, didn't stop her or themselves, had artwork using actual pictures of Haitian survivors and nobody stopped that either I - I've got nothing. My brain doesn't work that way and I can't comprehend anyone else whose brain does work that way. I get to that point and all systems short out and I have to reboot.

Fortunately others have covered the other faily issues so that words aren't lacking here. Though I will say that upon reading quotes I apparently did have enough brainpower left to say "Oh no you did NOT call Creole a gibberish-sounding language." because dude, DUDE.

Racefail, brain fail, humanity fail.

So on Thursday I was chatting with kayteaenbee, as is my want, and I got to pondering about how episodes of SPN would be different if Joss Whedon wrote them. Not better or worse per se, just different. And as I am nowhere near the SPN expert that a good chunk of people on my flist are, I now put it to you:

How would episodes of SPN be different if Joss Whedon had written them?

Or hey: story arcs, character development, whatever. Instead of whatever ended up on the air Joss came in, wrote some stuff, and we got that instead.

I'll kick us off with Jus in Bello, but I'll put it behind a cut so as not to spoil anyone who hasn't seen the ep yet. ( I'm thoughtful like that... )

And that's all I've got. *thwack!* Your turn! :D

* It is hot

* I am tired

* For someone who needs to take meds on a daily basis or else Bad Things Will Happen [tm] you'd think I'd keep better track of where I put my prescriptions. Though this does go to show that, as always

* I am blonde

* I need new icons

* This has nothing to do with being blonde, I just feel like doing some icon housecleaning. Iconcleaning? That.

* Recs on where to find awesome SPN and Big Love icons would be fabulous

* Especially naughty SPN ones

* YOU KNOW THE KIND I MEAN

* Can someone tell me if I should have Chinese for dinner tonight?

* Thank you
