I think we can rule Moses out as a suspect.

Okay, so. Just watched eps 2 and 3 of the new season of Supernatural. It really should've stopped with the last season, but I'm giving it a chance. And things are looking up! Dean's hunting again, yay. His reunion with the Metallicar was downright pornographic... TRY TO HAVE MORE EYE-SEX WITH YOUR CAR, DEAN. JUST TRY. Dean/Cas continues to write itself, recent events with Sam's car suggest that there really might be justice in the world, and the plot... hmmm. Either there are several plots going, or one really complicated plot that will tie together in some way that I don't understand yet. I'm actually kinda interested to see where this is all going. But it's definitely going.

In other news... I've done my usual thing where I sit at work and listen to my iPod and think about fandom stuff, and eventually I end up with a whole bunch of songs with fandom associations. I did it with Cowboy Bebop when I was rping Faye... now have the DCU version!

"Way Back Home" by Bob Crosby and the Bobcats - Tell me this doesn't remind you of the town of Smallville. Clark Kent totally grew up here.

"Big Girls Don't Cry (Personal)" by Fergie - Aside from the unfortunate references to "walking" and "baby steps" (TOO SOON! TOO SOON!!), this song is, imo, a perfect expression of Dick and Barbara's complicated relationship, from Barbara's pov, what with Babs holding him off at arm's length while she tries to get her emotional shit together. ...And she damn well better soon. OH EM GEE MY OH TEE PEEEEEEEEEE!!! T_T

Okay, this is where it starts getting complicated. And by "getting complicated" I mean "deviating from canon". We're delving into AU fanfic/headcanon territory here.

"Return" by OK Go - This is my anthem for Tim Drake and Connor Kent... if Kon hadn't come back from the dead. Which is a very fanfic sort of thing to happen, although I haven't written it and probably won't, as much as I love tragedy. And it is TRAGIC. *listens to song and SOBS*

"Angel" by Massive Attack - Y'all on my friends list should already know all about this, but it deserves a spot on this list. This used to be my tongue in cheek, el-oh-el wee!Tim Drake is Dick Grayson's creepy stalker, haha isn't it funny song. Now it belongs to scary!Timmy, and Tim can't have it anymore. Timmy doesn't really do "sharing". : \

"The Hero" by Ministry of Magic - *FACEPALM* This is so embarrassing. I almost didn't put it on the list, but. Bad enough this is Potter Rock... worse when I've taken Potter Rock and appropriated it for my own degenerate Teen Titans animated series AU/RP/headcanon purposes. The specific headcanon universe this pertains to is heavily inspired by my brief tenure at x_villainous_x. When I was in the game, the Joker had taken control of Gotham City, Batman was missing, and while there were a few other heroes and anti-heroes wandering around, essentially the Teen Titans, led by Robin, were the superhero presence in the city. And the Joker put a hefty bounty on them, so half the town was after them, and all of the Joker's bent cops, and... it was a bad time for the good people of Gotham. If I'd actually had time to rp, it would have been EPIC. ...Anyway, if you change a few lyrics in the song (and I do now, every time ^_^;;), it's a fantastic if embarrassingly sentimental GO ROBIN GO anthem for the situation, or some other situation in which Batman is missing and everyone knows it and Robin's really the only force for good when things are bad bad bad.

Dude, that Ministry of Magic song is perfect for fuckyeah!Tim. That band is like self-indulgent chocolate truffles.

Also, re: the 'This is my anthem for Tim Drake and Connor Kent... - I don't suppose you've seen astolat's fics in the DC verse? She wrote a neat little ficlet about Kon's death and Tim. (And omg, read her other stuff if you haven't already)

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'd been thinking of Robin (Dick Grayson) from the Teen Titans animated series, since he was who I was rping, but it could totally work for Tim. Or any of the Robins. Or any young hero kicking ass and taking names, really. ^_^

Oooh, no, I hadn't read that! It's very cute! Kind of on the same note, I've been reading Ties of Blood and Love by Trasga Poca and Anidawehi as it comes out on mrsarcastic_tim It starts more or less where that little ficlet does, and keeps going.

T_T

Yay Smallville! So have you started watching the series yet? :)

OMG! That's so perfect for Barbara and Dick's relationship, I love it. And so inspiring for me making things even more complicated for them.

I really need to get hold of some Teen Titans. Too much I need to read.

The Ministry of Magic was amazing. XD Such a great little theme song for kid Dick.

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Pfff, no. I'm too busy catching up with Grey's Anatomy.

Isn't it though? ... DDD:< HOMEWRECKER.

Heh, I haven't actually read any canon Tim and Kon stuff, except for Kon's brief cameo in Red Robin. Everything I know about Kon, and his BFF/bromance relationship with Tim is from fanfic. ^_^;; I definitely need to get on that Robin-era Tim stuff.

Aren't they? I love to hate and hate to love them. THEY'RE TOO TALENTED FOR POTTER ROCK. They write such beautiful music. And heh, yeah, I think so. Robin-in-my-head gets all embarrassed when I listen to that song and think fond Robiny thoughts.

I love fics where Metallicar gets turned into a human-or turned ~back into a human-and has an affair with Dean. They rarely end well, but they're generally so gooooood. There's also a couple where she's really a Transformer in disguise, and Sam's traumatized, but Dean's all :D :D :D (like you know he would be, 'cause his baby is just that cool!)

[zolac-no-miko.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha ohmigod, I've never actually read any fics featuring the Metallicar as an actual person, but I'm not even remotely surprised to know that they exist. She is totally the best character in that show. :DD

There's another one I'm trying to get access to, and will pass along if I can. I know there's more than this, because I remember reading at least one that's not here; so I'm sure if you did a search at spnstoryfinders, they could help you.

[kumagoro73.livejournal.com]

YAY! thank you so much! I will definitely check out that story finders link!
*gives you a mountain of cookies*
