whit_meruleFirstly: No, I didn't do a 7.22 reaction post. Instead, I did this, which I will edit and repost as a proper story once I'm done flailing. And write a sequel to, once I'm done with my current major project. Consider it an alternative ending to season 7, but written before the finale actually aired (so not a direct criticism).
Secondly: This is my direct (and tipsy) reaction post, unedited, typos and all, flailingly pounded into the keyboard as I watched the episode air. I will type a more thoughtful whole-season response later.
Re 'road so far':
- alpha vampire, very pretty. Note claws, as per Buffy Master (and other old vampires). Also slitting of own wrists with fingernails, as per same.
-that blood-additive, it kills them all. Vampires, shifters and ghouls - BOYS, GET THE RECIPE (of course they did not).
- when jared and jensen mentioned in some con about sam and dean not leaving civilians in peril and the writers going WHUT?, which is obviously the kid in vampire-ville that the actors insisted Sam and Dean would not just leave there. yes. i get that. i also notice that it seems to stick out, extraneous to a smooth plot. which is sort of nice. We are not perfect narrative structure all the time, guys!
- why does alphavamp have the 'michaelstrikingdownlucifer'painting on his wall? Interesting. With which of them does he identify?
- EEE CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON afk sobbing okay that's me done
- right, back
- CROWLEY HAS NO PATIENCE FOR YOUR COURTESY SHENANIGANS
- Have I mentioned I love Crowley and his 'I am on the run and still cleverer than all of you' stubble? Negotiating like proper psychopaths.
- See, Sam and Dean's problem when they come to Crowley? Not businessmen. Crowley? Always. Dick Roman? Apparently! Crowley will Negotiate.
- Aww, Crowley gets Canada. Implication? Because it doesn't matter. Sorry, all my Canadian friends. "All of Canada?!?" Stunned-by-yur-generosity-Crowley knows just how full of rocks and trees and trees-and-rocks Canada is.
- "We need America. So fat!" Crowley makes 'I can't argue with that' face.
- "I can't deny I long to see those two digested, once and for all." Aw, Crowley, double-crossing sweetie. I know you have a soft spot, and, more importantly, that THE WORLD you will get if you help Winchesters > CANADA (interesting and mostly frozen as it may be).
- CROWLEY I LOVE YOU you bound the leviathan with a DEMON DEAL
- Dean. Seriously? I don't usually make this kind of joke, but the righteous man's bone is in your pants. If you call (OT-other of your choice) for teh fondlin.
- MISHA WASN'T LYING. CASTIEL WAS NAKED AND COVERED IN BEES. Have I mentioned I love Misha? (And Dean swears by his car as the most potent oath ever. And cannot cope with naked!Cas. And Sam is sorry he missed that. Oh, boys.)
- Aw, Crowley is busily reading out ((amended and stereotypical) twelfth-century rubricated gothic (as per self-consciously antiquated printing of the 17C). Why does 16C (or whatever he is) scotsman like 12C? BECAUSE IT LOOKS OLD.
- (Crowley is trygn to amend clauses, yay.)
- guys, the credits list is making me happy. And also a bit awed, because, honestly? That's a lot of balls to keep in the air, o ye writers. Not that I think you can't do it. You've a proven record of working with the actors to give the characters ample and fluent justice in a very brief space. Just - wow. All of them? Really? That's a lot of very briefly sketched character arcs for the whole season that you're proposing to wrap up very quickly.)
- Aww. Dean bones nuns and Crowley tries to keep Dick tied up for as long as possible with fine print.
- MEG IS PLAYING TO THE FANGIRLS AGAIN (he was your boyfriend first) (Cas is trying to unite all his boy/girlfriends at once)
[How important is lipstick to you, Dean? Is it really necessary to test cosmetics on them?- *steals that line for revision of the above-mentioned Cas fic*

-- YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF POETRY MEG (poor Castiel, she is < neanderthal)
-- Crowley's WTF? look to Dean and Dean's I'M AFRAID SO look [insects = miracles]
- Crowley doesn't want to defeat an enemy that is off his rocker.
--- still less a BALL OF WET FUR CAS IS A BALL OF WET FUR (castiel = sparkles, huh? someone has been reading certain fanfic episode reactions.)
-- 'It's demon, but is it mine?' Castiel could tell that there was 'other demons' blood on that blade', so he can not only tell demon blood but tell one from the other. Crowley didn't know he was there. But it's okay, because Castiel/the writers have conveniently forgotten that Castiel can tell the difference anyway.
-- Cas, sweetheart, you're vital. Of course you're central to the 'head'. How did they come into this world? ... CAS? I LOVE YOU.
-- 'who wants us dead more? us or dick?' 'depends what dick offered'. Did you offer CANADA?
-- dean awaits magical sparkles [later note - i have no idea what this note was about]

CAS NEEDS A CAT (but Dean, seriously? how does that not count on the topic of Dicks? He's already contributed re cats and dicks, and incidentally, how is this not completely and immediately overwriting all fandom knotting fics? did we actually hit something that makes all of fandom squirm so universally that we cannot actually write fic about it? seriously, google image search it).
mm evasive cas
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN NOBODY CARES THAT YOU'RE BROKEN CLEAN UP YOUR MESS DEAN I AM STARING SADLY AT YOU RIGHT NOW (protective Sam standing in front of Cas cares that he's broken, Dean is too angry about Cas not being all-powerful to care, dean is always angry when cas is not all-powerful. also he is always angry when cas is all-powerful. poor cas can't win.)
TWISTER IS THE ANSWER TO ALL
'when it's your time, go'? Bobby? You remember who you're talkign to?
Bobby, you know thre is no other side for you to run into them on
(Castiel is watchign you. Castiel knows you will consign him to the flames like bobby if you think he isn't the same 'him'. Castiel suddenly has incentive to act like castiel.)
It pleases me that they are runnign with 'i learned my coping methods in the asylum' theme. boardgame!Cas ftw!
(Dean seems to be over his 'couldn't poop for a week' thing with requesting angelic transoprt)
THE IMPALA THEY ARE BACK FOR THE IMPALA DEAN I LOVE YOU CAS I LOVE YOU YAY EVERYONE IN THE IMPALA
ahem sorry
HAPPY JENSEN IS HAPPY BECAUSE THERE IS AN IMPALA WHO DOESN'T NEED ENGINE SOUND EFFECTS
THE IMPALA IS EYEING YOU DOWN, SUCROCORP
GUESS WHO WINS
Meg just likes beheading things. She wins.
Hm. I thought Meg was pretty high-level, as demons go. But of course crowley knows that, and would send acouple who could manage her.
HE'S GONNA KILL ALL THE SKINNY PEOPLE WE HAVE TO BLOW UP THE LABS Sam goes YES FNE PLACATE THE PROPHET
Hah, the Dick jokes have been replaced with boning jokes
OF COURSE CROWLEY DISDAINS YOUR OFFER OF CANADA. Silly Dick. You haven't been on earth long enough. You should know Canada is only ever invoked as a joke.
AWW Crowley is finger-snapping like a gabriel
ARGH SAM'S ABANDONMENT ISSUES IT IS WHAT HE HAS BEEN FEARING ALL SEASON
it is what his clownfear was about
it is what made him acknowledge lucifer
it is what he growld at dean about after the amazon
it is what made him go to RUBY
DON'T LEAVE HIM DEAN
YAY YAY YAY DEAN AND CAS IN PURGATORY TOGETHER I HAVE SEEN SO MANY FICS ABOUT THIS ahem
(dean, does this mean you'll have to talk about stuff? you will have no other interlocutor for some time.)
(do note that this not-heaven-world, being neither heavy on SFX-plus-greenscreen nor over-exposed, will be much cheaper to keep going for ages than hell or heaven)
