#062: Icons, Meme

I'm back! Finally an update with icons ;)
I’m still working on some stuff for Big Bang which will be posted in 10 days.

I also participated in the 30 Days Meme at [livejournal.com profile] dean_sam and I thought I’d just post my answers here as well:
Day 1→Your favorite character
Dean. I don't know the exact moment when I knew it was him, but it was pretty soon after I started to watch the show.

Day 2 → Your least favorite character
Ruby #2. I didn’t like Ruby #1 very much, but the second version was horrible. Genevieve is just not a good actress (FlashForward has a very good cast and so she seems to be so bad there, too) and the way she was written was probably even worse.
If she wasn’t there, my pick would be Anna. I didn’t mind her at first and then I thought she was annoying.

Day 3 → Your favorite season
That one is pretty hard. I like season 2, because the quality is very consistent. But I'd go with the unpopular opinion and say season 3. "Bad Day At Black Rock" is my favourite episode and there are so many great episodes in that season. And I really like Bela :D
It also has one of my favourite season finales.
I also love season one, because that's how it started after all and I really have the urge to watch it again soon…

Day 4 → Your least favorite season
I'd say season 5, because at one point I was always worrying if I'd like the next episode and that never happened before.
There are also some episode of season 4 which I don’t really like :/

Day 5 → Your favorite episode
I don't really know. It's like I have different favourites for different categories.
"Bad Day At Black Rock" is definitely my favourite comedy episode, "Born Under A Bad Sign" is one of the "darker" episodes I really love. "My Bloody Valentine", "Mystery Spot" and "Yellow Fever" are the episodes I like overall.
But if I was just allowed to pick one, I'd say "Bad Day At Black Rock" :D

Day 6 → Your least favorite episode
"What Is And What Should Never Be"
I know that most fans love this episode, but I really, really don't like it. Normally an episode gets better for me if I watch it again, but I have the feeling that this one just gets worse and I'm not even able to watch it without making a couple of breaks.
My second choice would be "Family Remains".

Day 7 → Your favorite Dean crying scene
Either "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 2" or the one at the end of "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things", but that's more because of the story that Jensen left after the scene and Jared followed him.

Day 8 → Your favorite Sam crying scene
Definitely "No Rest For The Wicked". I think it's the most realistic one and I always have to think about the short paragraph near the end of this article, although it's not even about this scene.

Day 9 → Your favorite Dean death scene
Definitely "No Rest For The Wicked". I'd even say mainly because of Sam's/Jared's reaction.
The scenes in "Mystery Spot" or the one in "Dark Side Of The Moon" were not really death scenes for me, because I knew it was only temporary.

Day 10 → Your favorite Sam/other death scene
Sam's death in "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1". Again, it's more Dean's reaction to it and what happens at the beginning of the next episode.

Day 11 → Your favorite quote
If I have to pick one, I'd say "House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music; shotgun shuts his cake hole.".
I only like most of the other quotes because of the way they are said. Like "I lost my shoe" or the way Jensen says "Oh, thank God, the angels are here." in 5x01 or the “Should I honk?” in 5x08 :D

Day 12 → Your favorite funny scene
Just one scene? The "breathing exercise" in "Yellow Fever", but only because I can't pick one specific scene from "Bad Day At Black Rock". Then there's also "Monster Movie", especially the scene with the pizza delivery :D

Day 13 → A scene that makes you sad/cry
The last 10 minutes of "Swan Song" and the end of "No Rest For The Wicked" (you probably wouldn't have guessed that from my previous answers).

Day 14 → A scene that makes you happy
I don't really know...
Maybe the scene in "Monster Movie" where they eat pretzels together :D

Day 15 → A scene that makes you angry
When Sam sneaks out of the room at the beginning of "In The Beginning" and Dean finds him with Ruby in "Metamorphosis".

Day 16 → An episode that scared you
Definitely "Bloody Mary". I watched it for the first time when it was dark outside and the quality of the video was pretty bad, so I had to switch off the lights. I was looking around the room looking for things in the dark during the whole episode :D

Day 17 → Your favorite SPN friendship
Dean/Cas and Sam/Cas, but really just as friendships. No shipping please ;)

Day 18 → Your favorite SPN romance
Jamie ♥
She will probably always be my favourite.
I also liked Sarah. They were both not the typical “damsel in distress” and I'm pretty sure that's the reason I like them :D
I have to admit that while I do read Wincest, I don't really ship them on the show *shrugs*

Day 19 → Your favorite SPN song
I like "Carry on Wayward Son", but that seems to be the song that everyone would pick :P
So I'll go with "Hey Man Nice Shot", because I just love the way it fits to the scene in "Skin".

Day 20 → Your favorite recap
The one at the beginning of "Lazarus Rising". No idea why *shrugs*
The one at the beginning of "Bloodlust" is also pretty good and of course the flashbacks in "Swan Song".

Day 21 → Your favorite character entrance
Castiel's entrance in "Lazarus Rising" was amazing. While I'm not really a fan of him anymore, I still like this scene.
And of course the first time we see Dean :D

Day 22 → Your favorite minor character
Bobby doesn't really count, so I'd say either Crowley or Lucifer and I also liked Bela. Not an easy decision ;)

Day 23 → The character that is most like you
I don't think that I'm like any of the characters. The thing I like about most female characters on the show is that they don't dress too girly which I don't do either :D

Day 24 → An episode you wish never happened
I'm not a big fan of the whole demon blood/Ruby stuff (or "On The Head Of A Pin"), but I know that it was necessary. I could live without "I Know What You Did Last Summer"/"Heaven And Hell" though.

Day 25 → Something that you wish happened but didn’t
Definitely a body swap between Sam and Dean. I really thought that this would be the only thing from fanfic they could do and then this happened :/
Well, at least I got an episode which was a little more Impala-centric.

Day 26 → Your favorite SPN fanvid
There are many great videos out there, but my favourite is “Channel Surfing”. As something a little more serious I’d say “Words Like Violence”.

Day 27 → Your favorite season intro episode
The Pilot doesn't really count for me, so I'd say "In My Time Of Dying" or "Lazarus Rising".

Day 28 → Your favorite season finale
Either "Swan Song" or "No Rest For The Wicked", because I cried during both of them. Okay, that's of course not the main reason, but part of it :D
These two episodes made me go "I want a new season! NOW!!!". I didn't have to wait after the finales of season 1 and 2, so to me they didn't really feel like season finales.

Day 29 → Your favorite SPN fanfic
The Truth In The Lie by [livejournal.com profile] flawedamythyst . I love this fic so damn much :D
There are a lot of J2 AUs I like, but this one is my favourite Wincest and maybe even my overall favourite.

Day 30 → Anything SPN related
I'd post some flashy gif, but actually I want to say something that I've already posted in comment to a couple of people on my flist:
Supernatural changed my way of watching TV. Before the show I had other favourites of course, but it was never important to me to watch every episode. I didn't care about the order in which I was watching the episodes either, I had no idea which season I was watching. I wasn't even able to identify a special story arc (if there was one). I also never thought that could love a TV show so much, it's weird.
