a demi-god, a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend, a man with breath-taking anger management issues and a couple of master assassins.
Why does the urge to work on my WIP only come when I'm swamped with life or buried under work? It'd be nice to feel it, for once, when I'm right in front of my laptop and all ready to write.
Watching Jensen Ackles as Beau Arlen in Big Sky was a teensy bit surreal as it took me awhile to see Beau, instead of Dean the Sheriff. It didn't help matters that they scattered (veiled) references to Supernatural in a handful of episodes.
Here are the ones I spotted:
Names his car
[2x18] "No, no, I keep trying to go in there, but something always seems to stop me. Today it was Pedro. Sprung a leak on me."
Gives salt as a housewarming gift
[3x02] "And you're, uh, always protected."
Has a sounds-like-trouble brother
[2x18] "Shoot, you should meet my brother."
[3x01] "I used to have something like this when I was a kid, till my brother ripped its head off, and then I put him in a headlock, and Mom beat the crap out of both of us."
[3x04] "Interesting antiques. My brother used to drag me to
places like this when we were kids."
Occasionally calls Cassie Dewell Cass but it was in 3x13 that really brought it home
[3x04] "Hey, Cass."
[3x12] "You were right, Cass. Bunker near the hearts."
[3x13] "Okay. I'm gonna call Cass. I want her on this with us. Let's move."
Honourable mention (foreshadow much?):
[2x08] Episode soundtrack: Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas
Can't believe I missed this one when I first compiled the list; was doing a quick run-through of Walker Season 2 when it hit me.
There's a Cassie in both series!
Cassie Dewell Cassie Perez
Interestingly, Walker calling Cassie Perez 'Cass' throughout the series went right by me – it was just a shortened form of her name.
But boy did I take notice when Beau said, "Okay. I'm gonna call Cass." in the series finale of Big Sky. It was the way he delivered that oh-so-familiar line, and I had to remind myself that he meant Cassie Dewell, and not Castiel.
Interesting coincidences
Both Big Sky (Season 3) and the reboot series, Walker, have a character who is a charming good ol' boy from Texas (scruff and all), who happens to be in law enforcement:
And a Hoyt:
Girl Hoyt Boy Hoyt
So each time Dean Beau mentions his (yet to be seen) brother, I can't help but imagine how perfect it would be if a Sam Cordell-ish character popped up in an episode somewhere as the above-mentioned (sounds-like-trouble) brother?
Thanks for the tag, @dandelionflowery! And I look forward to your evil boops next April 1, lol!
1- Favorite smell: Never really thought of it but if I had to name one, it would be freshly brewed coffee
2- The weirdest fact about yourself that you’re comfortable sharing: Not sure if this counts but I like to sit crossed-legged, so if I can get away with it, I will, like how I'm doing at the office right now
3- your favorite flavor of jelly bean: Haven't had one in a long time so can't really say... do they have mango flavour?
4- your least favorite normal (as in, not BeanBoozled) flavor of jelly bean: Sorry, no idea 😅
5- What color/pattern of socks are you currently (or most recently) wearing? Black
6- What’s the thing you have on your to-do list that you would say is the most interesting? To quote ABBA, "I'm nothing special, in fact, I'm a bit of a bore" so I guess the most interesting on my to-do list would be to buy a companion shrimp for my one surviving yellow cherry shrimp. I just need to figure out if the one I have is male or female.
7- a number. It can be any number you choose, but you have to have a reason why you chose it.: 5 - it's part of my birthdate
No pressure tags to all mutuals and readers who see this, feel free to join in if you'd like to play. The same goes to the last person to boop me on April 1, 2024 (with a bunch of evil boops!): @carnivorous-horses-lover
Finally, to the OP of this tag game, @sushi1056... you never said why you chose 19 :D
you know what, I think I’m going to play a tag game. The only rules are that if you tag somebody and they respond, you have to respond back to them. React, ask why, that sort of thing. Start a conversation. Also, if you had the same answer as whoever you reblogged from, list your second answer.

Please tag friends and mutuals, whatever usual tag game groupies. Anyone you feel would be okay with a tag (and remove it if they’re not). Also the last person to Boop you on April 1, 2024. I’ll start: @sushi1056 (tagging myself to keep my reply separate) @ivys-garden @twomanyfandomshelp @starielwastaken @cessreads
