I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

I've been off of Tumblr for a month because I haven't been able to watch SPN, and of course the backlog grows. And I haven't even used it to increase my productivity! I did watch Shadowhunters, though, and fall further in love with Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place, so there's that.

Firefly rewatch:

(1) When I rewatched Terminator:TSCC, what really stood out was the beauty of the cinematography (and the characters, but that goes without saying). This time on Firefly, what I’m noticing is the sound design. It’s not just that space is silent, but all the locations have a distinct aural texture. Well done, Mutant Enemy!

(2) 1x03, Bushwhacked, Mal, of the sole survivor of the Reavers: “Charity’d be a bullet in the brainpan.” Never noticed that callback in the movie before. I found a list of callbacks and (alleged) inconsistencies, though many of the latter seem quite handwavable: the best callback of all is the Trans-U Reaver ship.

New podfic of my SPN fic Entanglement (Sam/Dean), by liannabob.

The Floppy Disk and other icons that don’t make sense any more:  Though I find this article plenty funny, I also think there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a signifier with no present relation to the signified; we do it all the time!

Unlikely but true: Jensen Ackles is prettier in HD. Still getting used to the color differences from my old TV, but really glad to see the full screen.

Interesting video from Kink for all, where participants talk fanfic.

I also wrote a little something:
Five More Deaths That Didn’t Matter, PG/gore
Prompt: later_tuesday, 5 deaths Dean had during Mystery Spot (that weren't aired)
