TOP 5 MEME

[exsequar]

So I finally finished answering the prompts for the Top 5 meme! WHEW! Only took me like 4 days! Yikes. I was gonna do pictures for more of the categories, but it took me long enough to do the ones I did, so, uh, get over it? :P And I also reserve the right to not answer some topics just cause I have no opinion on them (uh, kitchen utensils Rach? :P) or I couldn't think of 5 or I just couldn't be arsed! Hee. Anyway, read, enjoy, comment, make all this work worth it, pretty please?

Top 5 Supernatural Moments - for weasleytook
1. Mary appearing to Sam and Dean in Home. I think that scene is done absolutely gorgeously, and it brings me to tears every time.
2. The whole climactic scene of Devil's Trap. Ow ow ow. My HEART.
3. The motel scene at the end of Nightmare. "As long as I'm around, nothin bad is gonna happen to you."
4. The argument in the car in Bloody Mary about Sam using himself as bait - "Hell, why don't you take a swing at me, I'm the one who dragged you away from her" "I don't blame you" "Well you shouldn't blame yourself!" I love - LOVE - how shocked Sam is simply at the IDEA of blaming Dean.
5. In Dead in the Water, Dean telling Lucas that he was scared too after his mom died, and that he knew she wanted him to be brave - and Sam listening in with tears in his eyes.

1. Simon and River's talk in "Safe" - "You gave up everything you had to find me, you found me broken. You gave up everything you had..." "Mei mei. Everything I have is right here."
2. The whole beginning of "Objects in Space," when River gets a peek into everyone's head. "I would be there right now" breaks my heart, and then the tree branch that's really a gun.... yeah, I love that episode
3. Zoe and Mal deciding they have to have sex at the end of "War Stories," and then awkwardly trying to kiss. And Wash taking Zoe away, saying "We'll be in our bunk." HEE!
4. Mal opening the big shiny crate and finding out that it's a River in a Box! But seriously, Summer's acting in this scene, her fright and shock and lost-ness, and then how Simon pulls her into his arms... oh oh oh. Gets me every time.
5. In "Ariel," Simon using the machine to look at River's brain: "She feels everything. She can't not."

Top 5 Wincest Moments - for crystal_lily
1. Sam slamming Dean into the wall in "Salvation," and Dean's heart-on-his-sleeve moment, and Sam thudding his massive hand into Dean's chest, and Dean's FACE when Sam turns away
2. Not!Dean saying "Your brothers got a lotta good qualities. You should appreciate them more than you do." in "Skin"
3. In "Faith," when Dean shows up at the motel after checking himself out of the hospital, Sam's face LIGHTING UP with joy to see his brother (it's quickly suppressed but definitely there), then Sam helping Dean to the chair (note that Dean doesn't shrug him off - he only does that in public)
4. In "Devil's Trap," after the demon leaves Papa, when Sam steps OVER Papa and runs to Dean's side. His voice is so high and panicky.

2. What John Portlock wrote in my yearbook the year he left. He was my assistant soccer coach, and an amazing friend, and what he wrote just made me cry it was so sweet. I can't remember specifics right now, but there was something about my smile and how talented I am. *wibbles* I MISS him.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Score, fic is always loved and cherished :D Thanks for the rec!

[fragglebo.livejournal.com]

Wow, such an awesome post!! All of the pictures you posted are fantastic and v. HOT - I might need to go take a cold shower to cool down now! Yay for pretty people and gorgeous guys. *swoon*

I've saved a few of the songs you posted - the Placebo ones (because I've been hooked on 'Running Up That Hill' for ages and couldn't find any other cool Placebo songs anywhere) and the Theory of a Deadman song because I'm interested. So, thank you!!

I might do this in my journal, I love lists way too much! ;)

[the5thmarauder.livejournal.com]

HANDWRITING HOMEWORK!

I LOVED THAT!

*whistles innocently*

Those answers are uber awesome, hon. And the DCFC song, Brother's on a Hotel Bed, is possibly the most heartbreaking song ever. I found it this week and... Oh. It's my ultimate Remus/Sirius song after In My Life, by the Beatles.

*SMOOGLES YOU*

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Heeee, I see Brothers on a Hotel Bed as Sam/Dean, but maybe because of the blatantly obvious link from the title? *hee* In any case, yes, it is a GORGEOUS song.

HAHA! I'm so glad I wasnt the only one who loved handwriting homework! *smooshes you like WHOA*

[glamorous-nymph.livejournal.com]

Oh, are you lacking Kane music?? If you want, I can upload it all for you. Might take me a little while but I can! Anything to spread the Kane love :)

[dove95.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I feel I should just buy the album. I don't like d/ling whole albums. I feel too guilty for it. Thanks for the offer tho.

Ya going to the con in october?!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah I am!!! I am PUMPED LIKE WHOA. :D:D

[dove95.livejournal.com]

Me too! But I need a roomie! Ya got a floor I could crash on, or is your room all full now? *bats lashes, uses sexy Jared/Sam icon*

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Oh I am so sorry, but I already had four people in my room, and then one of them brought a friend in, so we're already over full :( I'm sure you'll find someone to take you in though! Maybe email Nan, see if she knows of anyone?

[dove95.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I figured. You'se so popular and all :)

I sent her my check and told her that I'm still scoping the roomie situation. If I can't find a room to share by the end of this week, I'm gonna book a room on my own.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hey, I aint popular, silly goose. If anything, trollprincess is the one that's popular, hee.

Anyway, I wish you luck! And I'm so excited to see you there, it's gonna be AWESOME!

[crystal-lily.livejournal.com]

Top 5 Wincest Fics - for glamorous_nymph and theaeblackthorn

...one day we won't lower the tone in other people's journals. Today is not the day.

(as in, trust us to ask for the incest)

Fic #1 owns me, the rest I'm not 100% I've read them, gonna do it now.

PRETTEHS!!

Decker? Really? I've got to say, I heart courier as well, such a necess. font. Don't know 4&5, shall look them up.

icon #5 is mesmerising. Seriously.

I HATE COMM #3!! LYK LOTS. lol, j/k. Yeah atm I eagerly await #1s updates.


DEAN/LINDSEY ALL THE WAY BABY. All agreed, except 3&4 as I don't know them.

You know,. for the fandom one it's realyl funny, I was sitting in Nandos with sakuradolly telling her how wonderful the SPN fandom is, seriously. Not just because it's one of my most recent ones, it just rocks as a fandom. I tried to get her into the fandom, don't think I subceeded.

Top scenes? Hm, #4 is interesting, I don't think it's moved me to tears, but I do love it. #1, just, yes.

See? I over suggested but I replied lots!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I'm very proud of you for replying lots! *pets* It was lots of fun to do anyway :)

[shop-twisted.livejournal.com]

Yumm...crushed oreos. Great picks (except the middle one of the first set of Jensen, totally angst free, and the one of Kara dressed up, she looks weird like that). But wait you write porn?????

Your list makes me want to see some stuff and read some fan fic. You are so inspiring.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hey, occasionally bright and sunshine-happy is okay too! There doesn't have to be angst all the time, hee. Though he does brood very prettily. And I think Kara looks lovely there - she certainly makes Lee weak in the knees!

I wrote *one* piece of porn. Yes, fandom has stripped me of any and all shame that I may have once had. It tends to do that.

Fanfic is *amazing*. I've got some truly stellar Kara/Lee stuff in my memories, if you want to check that out. You know you want tooooo! :D

[weasleytook.livejournal.com]

WHEEE! I pretty much completely agree with your Top 5 SPN moments. All of those = AWESOME. Just reading what you wrote gives me SQUEEEEE. Heh. I just came back from a vacation where there were 6 days of no Sam and Dean, and now I really want to watch some. Heh.

And dude, Ewan McGregor is totally a fandom. Seriously.
