opera142: (crayons)
I was thinking about Supernatural during my drive to work this morning, and the way shows can insty-connect with my brain, and, of course, how it compares/contrasts to wrestling. Not that wrestling is the greatest thing ever ok, maybe a little. It's just that wrestling has been such a constant for me. I've watched it for 10+ years as an adult; I watched it as a kid. Good or awful, wrestling connects powerfully with me.

While I won't go so far as to say the Winchesters connected powerfully with me, I liked them right off the bat. In the observer-sense, at least. I was intrigued by them, by the way they handle their troubles, by what got them to this point. Now, a lot of that comes my love of the sibling dynamic, especially when there's obvious inequalities.

Sibling rivalry interests pre-date my wrestling fangirling, and being that there are so many "brothers" in wrestling, probably explains some of my fangirling too. In thinking of the Winchesters imagined-by-me rivalry (I see the subtext I *want* to see, ymmv), I did the contrast/compare things with the Hardyz:

Dead mom. Burned down house. Music choices I snerk over. Hot older brother outshined by the more-abilitied younger. Terrorized by Big Evil.

It's all so clear now.

In prose, is a rhetorical question puncuated with a question mark or period? A question mark makes it look too serious, like it's being asked earnestly and an answer is expected, but a period seems wrong too.

An irony mark? Oh emo kids, you know not what you miss in France.
