I am about to write some myself

I'm sifting through Dean/Castiel fanfic while I wait for Sept. 10th. It's so hard to find anything good. :/ It seems like if one of them is written well, the other is terrible. I'm currently working through really old fanfic (like, ones that were written during the first few episodes) so I'm willing to excuse a lot of problems with Castiel's characterization (how could they know?), but the amount of people writing Dean as a woobie who's all scared and JUST NEEDS A LITTLE LOVE is disappointing. At this point you've had three seasons to realize that even if he is scared, he hides it and denies it until he's blue in the face.

Dean/Castiel is definitely my favorite ship, but I also ship any and all combinations of Dean/Castiel/Anna. Including platonic combinations. I love all three to death. GO TEAM GOOD!ANGELS.

Aaaand to make this one of my few posts that ISN'T entirely about SPN, my assessment of my current classes:

Intro into Mass Communication: BLAARRGHHH I just took this class because I needed to fulfill a core requirement and I didn't know what else to take. Unfortunately, this seems to be a journalism-type class, which means lots of writing. I was kind of hoping for a writing-light semester. The professor rambles a lot. :/

Texas Government: Boring. But I think this is just because I really can't get into gov't stuff at all. I mean, the technicalities of it. On the upside, we have four exams and the lowest one gets dropped, so if I can ace the first three I won't even have to bother with the fourth around finals.

College Algebra for Math Intensive Majors: OH JESUS THIS IS DIFFICULT. I think there's smoke coming out of my ears at the end of this one. You know you're in for it when you're being taugh Algebra out of a Precalculus textbook. :( The exams hold a lot more weight than they normal would, which is kind of freaking me out because I tend to get text anxiety something fierce.

U.S. History II: I fucking love this class, and my professor. I wish I had him for the first U.S. History. He's amaaaaaazing. It's such a welcome change of pace after that math class (I have them on the same day).

ETA: Concerning Dean/Cas fanfic, this is the truest thing to have ever been drawn.

i need to rewatch canon just to get this crap out of my head

How is the fanfic getting worse as things go along, instead of better? You'd think more airtime=better characterization, but then sometimes even Dean is awful. :/

I loooove hurt/comfort. I love it like nothing else. And most D/C fic is h/c. However, it is possible to do h/c WITHOUT being wildly OOC. :| Also I'm getting sick of seeing Dean on the Hurt side. I can understand it, but if I see one more fic where it's like this, I will scream:

Dean: "Baaaaww I'm not worthy of being saved or loved and that is why I'm angry at you. :'("
Castiel: "God loooooves you and so do I. Let me love you, Dean. :("

FFFFFFFF it seems like everyone writes it like that. I don't recall Cas ever emphasizing God's love or anything. I remember him saying stuff like Dean was chosen by God, and God needed him for something, but he's never been that much of a hugbox. Also this kind of fic almost always turns Dean into a giant tsundere.

I wish more people would write fic from Castiel's POV, too. It's interesting!

In other news, I've been listening to classical music on Pandora all day, and while I really like this one dude's songs, I don't want to give him a thumbs up because he looks like a douchebag on his album cover. :(

I just checked and currently, the most used tag in this journal is "college" at 15 uses. But then there's "supernatural" at 13 uses. I have only been into Supernatural for a month. Is this obsession?
