Snow and SPN and NaNo

keire_keIt's snowing! First snow of winter, yay! Well, not perhaps so much snow as a little slush that looks whiteish on cars and lawns, but it counts, cause I've seen it fall! ^_____^
In other news, a bus apparently toppled over in Breslau, where I study these days. No one was hurt, and I don't travel by bus much, so I'm not worried.
NaNo:
I've sort of hit the wall. I typed the ending and there are still bits and pieces missing, but I'm struggling to fill them. Two important spaces that need to be connected and nary a clue... And 8 days left. Still, on the plus side, only 10k to go!
Just when you thought they couldn't make Castiel more adorable, they give him doubts, a kicked ass and jealousy of Dean!kissage. <3 Misha Collins deserves a prize for the look on his face when Allistair was straddling him. All wide-eyed and terrified and stoned. And of course Dean to the rescue. I love how Castiel stares at Dean, he looks so out of it as he does, like the rest of the world doesn't matter and he can only focus on Dean properly. Methinks the whole getting his butt kicked by Allistair has something to do with the looks and regrets and everything. In conclusion - Castiel will join the ranks of the fallen.
A slice of angel food cake for Dean! Okay, squee aside, they are driving the binaries between him and Sam and I for one do not like it, because binaries are by definition there to oppose one another. Still, Dean having another angel measure to the handprint? Made of winsome win. XD Coupled with Castiel's looks...
Angels are dicks. They know Dean would damn the world to save Sammy and they're not afraid to use it, assholes. At the same time, "it's his weakness. He likes you" speaks for itself. Uriel, despite being a dick, is growing on me.
Dean's confession was beyond great. Jensen Ackles is amazing, putting so much on the screen in the few minutes, with so few vague words. You can see Dean holding his heart together with broken pieces of duct tape, knowing that it's not enough, but that there is nothing more he can do. You have to hurt for him. He will be beating himself over the head with it for the rest of his life, because that's who he is. If there's no air in space, it's because he didn't work on it hard enough.

seraphim_grace suggested that while yes, anyone would break in hell, the fact that after thirty years Dean just flipped a switch is unlikely, so it makes more sense that it was a form of torture, making him believe he is hurting people. Especially since we see him so broken up about it now. I know, hindsight and all, but I find it very, very hard to believe he is capable of torturing people. Demons, perhaps. Souls, not so much. Also, Allistair had the air of "ah, this one is not properly broken in yet" about him in the previous episode. Two things: a/ Anna tells him it isn't his fault, and b/ he says he lost count of how many souls. Wouldn't it fuck him up more if there was only one? Someone he could grow to know? Maybe that's the thing, it's all been a setup and they kept showing him different ones, so that he cannot tell it's not real. Also: "like magic" - in hell nothing is like it seems. I'm whining about it, because you know Dean is fucked up enough and doesn't need more baggage.
I really want to know what Ruby's deal is. No, seriously. I like her presence there, I like how she helps, but I want to know what's in it for her. She's still a demon, and therefore wants something for herself out of this mess.
Finally - Dean empathises with angels. XD
