Thank You, Everyone At Bloomingcon!

Hey, everybody! Only a few more days until Evil Walks premieres! Are you excited? I am. Excited and freaking out so much.

I just want to give a big shout-out to everyone who came to support me at Bloomingcon this weekend! Cosplaying fem!Castiel both days, I was selling bracelets and protection bottles for Hell's Bells and giving out free Tarot readings, as well as also running a booth of Japanese snacks and drinks for the Asian grocery store where I'm manager. It was a great weekend, so thank you everyone who came, and especially a big big thank you to the wonderful staff and fellow vendors and artists in the vendors' room with me! It was great working with all of you, and you were a wonderful help! I still have Hunter's Bracelets available to buy if anyone wants one, and of course if anyone wants a tarot reading, please contact me.

And don't forget: Hell's Bells' first book Evil Walks starts on Thursday!

Until later, then, readers!

So Last Night's Supernatural Season Finale...

Spoilers ahead. Last night was intense. Very, very intense. I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel about the SPN season ten finale.

Let's start with Death. Death was awesome. Death loves Mexican food. Death just revealed a massive amount of mythology, telling us that God and the Archangels, including Lucifer, fought back a Big Bad called the Darkness and that the Mark of Cain is the lock keeping the Darkness at bay. Then Dean killed Death.

What does killing Death mean? Are we facing a Death Takes A Holiday/Reaper Man situation? They didn't explain the consequences!

What can the Darkness do? What kind of an entity is it? Are there multiple branches of it, like the Leviathans? Is there a connection to demons? It looked really demony, didn't it?

Let's talk about Cas. My poor baby. Hurting him weighed heavily on Dean, but Dean didn't call to say goodbye to him. He was kind of left out of the action with Dean, and that really bothers me, and not just because of Destiel. Dean couldn't kill himself without saying goodbye to Castiel. He just couldn't. And then that watch dog spell-- it kills its victims! Is Rowena killing Cas? Is Cas going to kill Crowley first? He has an angel sword; he could kill him permanently!

And WHY didn't they cycle back to Metatron taking the Demon Tablet? Why did they leave that dangling?

And every time I think about that scene with Sam and Dean, talking over their codependency issues. That and the very words "She's all yours" are making me cry again as I write this. And I already cried myself to sleep last night.

And WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY that cliffhanger?! Now we have to wait forever for season 11! Damn it, SPN!

So that's a brief summary of my reaction to it. What was your opinion of last night's finale? What do you think of the Darkness? What do you think season 11 has in store for us? Let me know in the comments.

Howl At The Moon

Back in May, my friend J and I decided that this summer we would watch a series together that neither of us have previously seen. We have similar tastes in books, movies, and shows (with  a few exceptions -- I will never like Anchorman, sorry), and viewing a few marathons together was a great way to bond before she left for her internship. After much debate, we selected Teen Wolf.

All I knew about Teen Wolf previously is that it involves werewolves (obviously) and that the big slash ship is Sterek. I didn't know it's MTV. I didn't know it's an adaptation of the cult Michael J. Fox film. I didn't know Scott is the main character. I didn't even know what Stiles and Derek look like. The only thing I really knew is that Sterek is the big rival ship for Destiel.

Now, I am a huge Destiel fan, and I desperately want the pairing to become official for Supernatural season nine. I just about melted into bittersweet sobs when Dean told Castiel, "I need you," while Castiel was struggling against mind control not to kill him. I am currently working on multiple -- that's right, multiple -- Destiel fan videos. Therefore, reading that Sterek is considered the Destiel of Teen Wolf instantly intrigued me.

 J and I watched the first couple episodes, and immediately we were hooked. The show is incredible! It has intriguing storylines and brilliantly developed characters. Every single character is interesting and likeable,* even minor background and side characters. (Who else here wants to create a fan club for Greenberg? Our motto would be: Greenberg, We Love You Even Though Everybody Hates You And We Have No Idea What You Look Like.) Even the more villainous characters are loveable and sympathetic, especially snarky Peter, and who else here cried for Deucalion at the end of Visionary? Speaking of crying, I do cry a lot during Teen Wolf, especially this current season. Season one was great; season two was even better; and season three is amazing, with each episode being more intensive than the last. After this past episode, I'm dying for this coming Moonday. Is Jennifer actually Paige? I must know!

Now I have another reason to smile at the full moon.

* Except for Jennifer. She's not very likeable, but she's still very interesting. Though truth be told, we just hate her for manipulating Derek and keeping him from Stiles.
