melancholia

Oh man. I so didn't mean for this to happen. Why did it have to? Stupid beautiful, dysfunctional, codependent brothers who can give me everything the Winchesters can't. Peter/Nathan (in a slashy sense or not) from Heroes have taken a hold of me and it won't let go. I've been asking around and fans tell me that Peter/Nathan (in a slashy sense) is the one thing TPTB and the comic artists will agree on (I think my favorite part in the latest comic was Peter confessing that he enjoyed having Nathan sleeping on top of him) and they tell me that the Petrellis are dysfunctional in a different way from the Winchesters in the sense that they are not ruled by circumstance, they are codependent because they choose to be. And they urge me to compare Nathan's relationship with his wife with his relationship with his brother and Peter's inability to form lasting relationships outside of with his brother and-

How can I say no?

Damn it. You know, I went into Supernatural and the Winchesters expecting beautiful, dysfunctional, angsty, codependent brothers to take me by storm and I expected Sam/Dean to be my OTP. And what happened? Well, first of all I started loving the characters for themselves. Second, they are dysfunctional and codependent in ways that make even me uncomfortable, in ways that's not entirely consensual. And...I love the Winchesters, god knows I do, but season five is disappointing me so much and the brothers' relationship is broken beyond repair and I just need a pair of brothers that do not hesitate to show affection in the slightest (the number of times Peter and Nathan have said they love each other is insane) and that are dysfunctional in a good way and. Yeah.

Anyway. It's not like I'm abandoning Supernatural. I'm not. I watched the season one finale twice yesterday and I remembered how much I love this show and this episode in particular. (Plus, Dean and Azazel!John in the cabin is one of the slashiest things I've ever seen.)

But enough with the excuses. If I wanna get into Heroes, I will, sooner or later. Judging by my history, It's likely to happen sooner rather than later.
