3, 4, 23!

3. What is the rarest pair (that you personally ship)? 
Sam/Jimmy probably? Or maybe Jody/Jimmy? I think those two are probably the rarest ships I have. I don’t think I could name 5 people who like those two. 

4. Name a popular ship that you don’t get the appeal of. 
Hmmmm. Honestly I don’t think I can. I don’t tink there’s a single ship I can think of that makes me go “why?” b/c if it makes me go “why?” I try to figure it out. I suppose I can see the appeal of pretty much any ship, even if I’m not personally into it. 

I guess if I had to pick something, I’d say any ship with Lucifer in it (even though those aren’t really *popular* ships). He just doesn’t appeal to me as a character and when I’m shipping I either have to like both characters or hate them and want them as miserable as possible. Obviously I don’t have issues with anyone who does like Lucifer ships, but I just don’t really *get* it, if that makes sense? Intellectually I understand the whole “sympathy for the Devil” thing and the “misunderstood outcast” thing from stuff like Milton, but I’m just not that into it. 

23. Have you ever started shipping something because of the fans? 
I’ve had friends who’ve suggested that I should ship something or started giving me headcanons and ideas and got me into certain ships, so maybe? The quickest way to make me ship things is honestly to be my friend and share your excitement over a thing. 

 Honestly, I’m probably more likely to ship things b/c people hate them. It makes me curious and irritated so I wind up spite shipping until it becomes a legit ship.

Thanks! 

Ship asks!

But, that said…normally I’d think they were setting him, and maybe Lucy, up for a redemption arc but SPN has such a strong them of daaaaaaaark and angst that while I want to think there’s a happy ending there, if not for Sam and Dean than at least maybe for Jack…I just can’t be optimistic.

That said I find I’m surprisingly invested in him, especially considering I haven’t seen the episode and don’t intend to watch it…

lol. No worries about the misunderstanding. I also wonder what happened to Jesse. I hope he’s happy. 

Honestly, I’m refraining from making any calls because I was so thrown off last season. Like, my biggest issue with the whole season (barring the last episode and all the fridging before that) was that the story made no sense. SPN has a history of redeeming the most human of monsters so I was expecting Mick to be a turncoat. (Actually, I expected them to try with Toni first but… well.) Like, what was the whole point of introducing “man” as the enemy if you’re not going to actually solve the issue? And for a show that is so humanist it was jarring as hell to see no humans get a redemption. It wasn’t at all what I was expecting. It was like the plot I was actually interested in was side-lined for a plot I literally couldn’t care less about (build on super stupid actions by characters who aren’t that stupid). 

Any other time, I would be setting up mental bets with myself as to whether or not Jack would wind up good, bad, or bad but redeemed. This season though, I’m hesitant b/c how the hell am I actually supposed to guess when the threads I though made sense last year were abandoned in favor of dumber threads? I’m just… confused and irritated and I have no idea if this season will make sense either. It’s like… I don’t even care about being wrong or right, I just like the guessing game and finding the pieces I missed. Last season though, I just don’t get why they did what they did. It doesn’t make sense to me from a storytelling perspective, so it’s frustrating. So I’m not going to get invested in the story line. I’ll get inspired by the characters, the potential of new worlds, the potential the world already has and be happy. 

I don’t want a redemption for Lucifer because he’s horrible and deserves nothing but suffering. Lucifer can rot. Jack on the other hand is someone I’d rather see be a force for good. And if he’s not… there’s always fanfic. 

Also, I’m not sure what it is about Jack (other than that he’s adorable and kinda sweet and does that squinty glare thing) but he’s very easy to like. I don’t blame you for being at least a little invested.
