Also: so when Ruby was revealed as evil I felt so vindicated, but then a few months later I watched S4 again with some friends who hadn’t seen it and it was torture. “Ya know I’m kinda starting to like this Cas guy.” (me: YES I LOVE HIM HE’S AMAZING but I say nothing) “…oh, no, he’s against them now, never mind.” (NOOOOOO CAAAAAAAASSSSSS). “Look, look at all the great stuff Ruby did for them! I’m really starting to trust her!” (in my head: FUCKING BITCH)

lol. See, it’s so funny because I don’t think there was ever a point I didn’t like Cas. He just showed up awesome and I was in love. Even when he “went against them” I was like…so he’s either been brainwashed or he’s got a damn good reason. When Ruby originally showed up and was like “here’s this awesome knife and I’ll teach you to fix the colt” I was like… huh, I like you. But when she was all “hey, Sam, let’s kill this innocent woman because there’s a demon in her and you need lots of blood to kill Lilith” I was like… yeah, my decision to stop liking you was valid.

Lol. I was pretty much the same way. I adored Cas’s entrance and I really wanted him to stick around. I actually shipped Megstiel before I started shipping Destiel b/c I didn’t “see” it until season 8.

I dragged my brother into watching it with me. He was actually kinda uninterested after the season 3 finale. I begged him to watch just one more episode and after that he was hooked. Its adorable, too, because he has the biggest crush on Misha. He used to get really excited whenever Misha’s name was in the credits.

Yup that’s the Regency AU. …and…yeah I guess I have I dunno I don’t know what to do with myself if I don’t write just I just…write…I’m almost up to 1.8 millions words posted on AO3 in just over two years oh god what is my life. 😉

lol. It’s just ingrained in you to be a writer, I suppose. And holy shit, 1.8 million words? Dude! What?!

Also I think Ruby is the one I most often see variation in…some people I think didn’t like Gen Ruby as much…

I’ll be honest, I liked Kate better than Gen. I have nothing against Gen, I just liked Kate’s portrayal a little better. But I’m still picturing Gen when I write Ruby so…

It’s tough for me because tbh I loathe Ruby – in, I’d say, exactly the way the writers wanted us to loathe Ruby. From the minute her character first appeared I consistently screamed “DON’T TRUST HER OMG” every single damn time she was on-screen.

Now, keeping in mind also that I had like three months where the only Ruby whose existence I knew of was Kate!Ruby, I definitely originally liked Kate!Ruby better. There was a certain something to her behavior, and I thought Gen’s acting was stilted and inconsistent. But, over the years, especially as S4 grew on me and grew to be my favorite season of the show, I think I just…kinda…got used to Gen!Ruby? And now Kate!Ruby always seems a little off to me?

So, like, objectively speaking (well, subjectively but somewhat more objectively, just based on my initial reactions) I think Kate did a better job of being Ruby but I still kinda prefer Gen Ruby.

(obvs this is all my opinion ya’ll like who ya like)

You know, I think that pretty accurately sums up my feelings, too. I went into spn knowing that there were two brothers and an angel and that was basically it so when I watched the whole thing up to whatever season was on I was pretty fresh to the whole thing. I didn’t know there were other Megs or Rubys or even archangels so all of that was a surprise to me. That being said I do think Gen!Ruby was way more stilted and I liked Kate!Ruby much better. Didn’t like the original Meg, though. But I still tend to think of Gen when I write and it’s probably because I got used to her. I still prefer Kate!Ruby and watch season 3 makes me miss her. 

Also, I actually fell for Ruby’s tricks up to a certain point. The second she started coaxing Sam into drinking blood I distrusted her, but I was willing to believe she could be decent. Jokes on me, I guess. That’s also why I distrusted Benny at first. I was so sure he was going to wind up being bad (because I’d been burned by Ruby before) so I felt like an idiot.

I’ve written Adam Milligan-Michael but usually when I read fic the descriptions seems to be suggesting Matt? I dunno…

No, that seems to be the way it goes. I dunno if I’ve read your Adam!Michael, though, but it’s not something I come across too often. It does seem the descriptions are more John!Michael, which, now that I think about it could potentially be weird. lol

@unforth-ninawaters replied to your post:


You know, I always wonder what characters other…

I tend to picture whoever played the part most (so Rachel and Mark and Gen and Matt…)

Makes senes. I dunno why but I was under the impression that Matt and Jake Able (who played Adam) were Michael for the same number of episodes. I’m probably wrong, though.

I do think it’s kinda funny though that a lot of these characters have been played by multiple people, so the Ruby I have in my head may not be everyone’s preferred Ruby.
