#spn 11.19

[heller-meta-of-the-day]

July 16th

Dean seeing two married men: what’s it like settling down with a hunter? no gay person says the word gay at any point ever to describe themselves. Hellers completely ignore the beginning of the conversation that mentions "BROTHERS" ala the siren episode and that SAM is sitting right there.

The Chitters (11.19)

Besides, Cass isn't a hunter. 🤨

I wanted to share this fun fact about fungi with you and how it relates to spn 11.19, The Chitters! There are these fungi called massopora cicadina that infect cicadas that emerge every 13 or 17 years. The fungi alter their hosts' sexual behavior and fertility so it can infect as many cicadas as possible with their spores. As soon as I heard this presentation, I immediately flashed to that episode because of the VERY close similarities! Thought you'd find that cool :D.

I LOVE FUNGI FUN FACTS! So thank you just on that level.

But yes that DOES seem relevant to the episode. I mean, the chitters/bisaan were even compared to cicadas on their own cycle of emerging/mating periodically, but that's fascinating for the "infecting a host" portion of what these creatures do in order to reproduce. EW! Thank you for this!

(I mean, somehow I'd had the bisaan filed in the same drawer in my brain the glowing tree bugs from the Darkness Falls episode of the xfiles, even if it wasn't right at all, and the fungus connection makes this feel even more appropriate for my mental filing system, so thank you, really!)

(I can't really explain my mental filing system. i do not have a mind palace, i have a mind haunted forest i think :'D)

So this fucking show went from a guy comforting his gay little brother promising they'll get out of town, straight to Sam comforting Dean promising they'll get Cas back......
