Lunardreamed in Fandom

In the beginning of Supernatural's second season, I posted a meta in sn_theories about what spirit animals would best represent Sam and Dean. I never posted it to my own journal and had all but forgotten it, but I received a very flattering email from silverruffian about how that discussion inspired her. It was especially meaningful because I've always enjoyed her work. So, I decided to move the post into my journal, so I wouldn't lose it again.

It was interesting for me to reread this post, because so much has changed since the beginning of Season Two. I'm not sure how well my ideas have aged. I don't know how much they still fit with what more we have learned about the characters. On the other hand, spirit animals are chosen early in life, and don't change each time the person undergoes life altering events.

I was never sure what animal fit with Sam, but I was always sure that Dean was Coyote: Trickster, Hero, Outcast.

(Disclaimer: this was written late at night, when I tend to ramble and can't do proper proofreading, but I couldn't sleep until I got it out.)

The new Star Trek movie is, of course, all over my flist. My feelings about it are lukewarm. I haven't seen it, yet, so they may heat up, but now I'm kind of "meh". I'll see it, of course; I've seen everything produced in Star Trek, but I never was a big fan of TOS (liked the TOS movies, though, better than the TNG ones (go fig)), I thought that Enterprise was acceptable independently, but lacking as a prequel, and I generally think of prequels as unsatisfying.

( But whatever, this post is about DS9 )
