Listen, I get that it would seem some what out of character for Wife and Mother of the Year to dress like a skank in order to nail down a lead in Nathan’s disappearance. Haley just doesn’t do those kinds of things.
But it’s not like she’s NEVER been agressive before. She fights for what she believes in, for what she loves. And right now, all she wants is to have her husband back. And she believes without a doubt that SOMEONE is keeping him from coming home.
Like Haley, I am married to a man that I love, that I NEED, a man that I am crazy about. We don’t have kids but I would seriously DO ANYTHING to get him back if I believed that he was in danger. I understand Haley’s desperation so much it’s not even funny. My husband used to have to travel overseas for weeks at a time for his job. If I went even 24 hours without an email I would start freaking out and calling his co-workers and his boss. I’m not crazy. This world is a sad, scary place.
So, if all I had to do to get him back is dress like a slut and let some ass drape himself over me, I’d do it. In a heartbeat. At that point, all logic would have left my mind in the dust. JUST GET HIM BACK is all I would repeat. Again and again.

I want to cry every time I watch that scene.
Their first kiss is one of my all time favorite scenes from the show and a HUGE part of that is the song. The weekend that I met my husband I was on vacation and after an amazing time with him, I had to get on the plane to go home. I was so distraught thinking I may never see him again. I put the Walk To Remember soundtrack on and listened to that song all the way home. When I got off the plane I had a voice mail from him telling me he already missed me. The rest is history. So when I first saw that scene, and heard that song, I knew the Naley love story would be EPIC.
Her mother died while she was away and no one was able to tell her. When she arrived home, the father that she knew was only a shell of himself and she was in charge of making sure no one else died.
This is what happened after he tapped a new well in order to get Elena a glass of water. There is no other explanation for how long it took him to fetch ONE glass of water in his own fucking house. The Salvatore house must have the slowest running facets on the planet!!!

It’s ok Sam. I still love you. Only next time get a shovel.
Smells Like Teen Spirit
The title of tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries has had me doing a lot of thinking. Not just about the episode (which I am VERY excited to see) but also about where the title came from. My guess is that 98% think immediately to the Nirvana song of the same title which is absolutely iconic of course! (If you’ve never heard the Tori Amos cover please seek it out. Also totally epic).
Anyways, the reality is that it’s about deodorant. More specifically, the very first deodorant made just for teens. And if you did not have this in the locker room at my Jr. High you may as well skip gym altogether. (I am totally aging myself aren’t I?) I think they still make this stuff but I want everyone to remember that it was created for a generation of teens who watched Saved By The Bell live on Saturday mornings and then had to travel to Blockbuster Music to stand in line for concert tickets. Perhaps those concert tickets were to see Nirvana live as well.
The senior class of Mystic Falls High really doesn’t have time for Saturday morning TV and if they wanted concert tickets they could purchase them from their phones. So, the question is, what will their anthem be and what will they remember about this time when they are ancient like me?
Here we are now. Entertain us.
WARNING SHIPPERS!! Read if you dare!!
#TVD angst breakdown (as I see it).
SO…….
Let’s say it HAD to be a Winchester to break that first seal - because it was Michael who put Lucifer in the cage and the Winchesters are the vessel descendants for Michael.
What if neither John nor Dean broke the seal? Would Cas then have had no reason to bring Dean up? Would he have stayed in hell for all eternity? Would Ruby & Lilith tried to get Adam to commit what ever act was necessary to break that first seal?
I have a question about Ruby.
Or a few of them actually. And forgive me if this has been hashed out a billion times already. If it pisses you off feel free to ignore me.
Anyways….
Ruby starts “grooming” Sam to break Lucifer out of his cage starting at the beginning of Season 2. But before the seals can be broken, before Sam can bring on the apocalypse, Dean has to put souls on the rack. How do Ruby and Lilith know that Dean will break when John did not? Or do they just assume that some other “righteous man” will break eventually? Is it possible that Hell has it’s own version of the prophet Chuck?
Also, in Jus In Bello, Ruby offers to blow herself to kingdom come in order to save the boys. It’s just a lie right? Lilith wouldn’t really take everyone in the place down because Lilith doesn’t actually want Sam dead. She’s a Lucifer loyalist and needs him to break the final seal. And she knows that right? And, since she is the holder of Dean’s contract, the contract paralegal in me thinks that she wouldn’t be able to take Dean’s life either, until his year was up.
OR here is a thought: Would Ruby have orchestrated it so that Dean would be the one to carve out Nancy’s heart and would that act be the equivalent to putting souls on the rack in the pit? Therefore getting all the action started early?
Dean: I’m gonna say this one time, you make a move on him and you’ll be dead before you hit the ground. You understand me? I mean, do I make myself clear?
Wednesday’s episode du jour was “Croatoan.” Downloading and then uploading onto my iPod nearly made me late for work but it was worth every minute. I had forgotten why I loved this episode so much. And honestly I had no idea what made me decide to choose this one today. I do know that I watched this particular scene about 10 times before I got off the train and I was sweating profusely through all of it. Gross I know but my GOD it is so intense.
(I would like to talk about the talent of Jared & Jensen here but I think it goes without saying).
Dean’s inability to do to Sam what he KNOWS is the right thing to do just crushes me. His emotions. His ANGER. He is so ANGRY that he is being faced with this choice. But he’ll never do it. He’ll never put Sam down. Watching this takes me to places that I have seen but places the Season 2 Sam & Dean have not. Places where Dean will be given the choice time and again whether or not to put a bullet in the back of Sam’s skull. And I cry. I cry for Dean having to make this choice so many times. I cry for Sam wanting to relieve him of this impossible decision. I see Dean, face beaten & bloodied, on his knees in Stull Cemetery, thinking he’d lost everything in the world when Sam dove into The Pit and even as he sat there completely broken, I think he’d have done nothing different. Because he’d always done what he could to save Sam. Always.
So my friend Brit (@allebsupernova on twitter) has asked me yet ANOTHER impossible question. (See her first here).
“Erin, what is your favorite character trait of Dean?”
UGH! What? Can I say “everything?”
But instead of copping out I really thought about this and came up with an answer.
His Loyalty.
It’s like he can’t even help it. It’s as much a part of him as his gorgeous eyes and sexy smirk. I’d bet it’s not even something he realizes he has. But through 6 seasons of hell and after actually visiting Hell it’s still there. Loyalty to the cause. Loyal to his father regardless of what he could have been and without care of his father’s return on Dean’s emotional investment. Loyalty to his friends. Loyalty to the hundreds of strangers he has saved and will never know. Mostly, of course, his loyalty to Sam. Some would even say he is loyal to a fault. I don’t consider it a fault. Detrimental to himself? Absolutely. But not a fault. How could anyone fault him? In each precarious situation I’d have done no different. Think of what he does for Sam in “Born Under a Bad Sign.” What he does in “Croatoan,” in “Appointment in Samarra,” and if you want to get REALLY serious, remember “Swan Song,” and my GOD don’t make me think of “All Hell Breaks Loose.”
Dean has a few bad traits *cough* drunken slut *cough* but of his millions of good ones, I think his loyalty is my favorite. It’s what I love most about him. Besides the gorgeous eyes and sexy smirk of course.
Does that answer your question Brit?
REALLY want to read 9091’s new 1988 Impala fic but I’m afraid of crying at work.
Again.
Has anyone read it yet? Do I have reason to be afraid?
If you haven’t read any of Amanda’s Impala fic you REALLY should. Seriously.
