style

wow, long time, no blog (whoaaah the whole posting thingy has changed and now it's neat and pretty!)

I'm bored with a side order of bored, so I'm playing around on polyvore making style collages and I thought I would try my hand at maybe doing a little somethin', somethin'...

I've put in their comfort shoes, and their, what I call, 'no-nonsense-hunting-shoes'. Okay, so it's not a snappy title, but whatever. I remember Shannon and I talking (forever agoooo) about how at the beginning of the girls' journey, they'd probably have really distinct styles from their old lives, but as they spent more time with the boys, you would begin to see little changes, inspired by their life on the road. Like for example, Emmy would wear her leather jacket more or Lauren would buy a pair of sturdy boots instead of the flats she used to wear to church. They would both begin to wear more layers and jumpers as they realise how often they would spend sleeping in the back of the impala on cold nights when they were nowhere near a motel. That sort of thing. And of course, Lauren's rosaries are included. I completely forgot we were going to have her be quite a religious character until I found Shannon's background notes and research! If I had the dedication to keep writing, I would love to have an arc that perhaps deals with Lauren's strong faith in contrast to Dean's lack thereof (which would probably be dealt with in 'Houses of the Holy'). I really love exploring these characters and exploring my headcanons and I haven't done that in a very long time.

NOSTALGIC RAMBLINGS AHEAD: I find it really scary that this whole idea was created in like 2009 and now it's 2012 and so much has changed. I feel like this whole BIGLY AU universe represents something pretty nostalgic to me, and I've found myself really drawn to it again (and supernatural in general, except ew season 6 what even are you). I feel like these girls came to represent a friendship I cherished, but unfortunately dismissed, and when I read over fics and episodes we've written, it's like I've gone back in time and it's 2009 again and everything is lovely. Hmm, I don't know. I guess I'm saying I miss them and I miss writing and I miss this non-existent world and there are lots of other things I miss that I won't go into. I'LL PROBABLY END UP MAKING FANMIXES AND STUFF BECAUSE IT'S STILL BLOODY RAINING IN THE UK.

anywhooooo~
talk soon xoxox

  1. Oooh that was interesting! I love the idea of the girl slowly morphing in to the hunter look. The life turning them in to different people than they were, like it totally would.
    And that bit about Laurens faith, really interesting. Maybe I'll write something about that...
    I'm just about to load another chapter of the civilian. Go read!
