Thanks

Thanks to missyjack for the suggestion she left at an Inspiration Post at spn_sceneit. When I saw that it grabbed me and I just had to give it a go.

Thanks to my wonderful beta _sharvie_. Not only for the beta job but also some great suggestions. Also to the awesomemaichan808 and deirdre_c. Thanks so much gals for your notes and suggestions (and for the cheerleading!).

Notes

There's really nothing too deep and meaningful here. Though I will say that my initial reaction to reading this prompt was to just showcase the motels appearing in the show. But that really wasn't so easy. The vid needed some kind of meaning and action. As I started to vid it took on a little story and I found that I couldn't just fill the vid with shots of motel interiors. I have tried to show as much of the interiors as I could, but it became more about the activities inside the motels rather than just the interior designs (which are amazing btw).

I became interested in showing the motel room as home, a place where they can be somewhat domestic and as place they exist in together. The wincesty overtones are deliberate, though there's nothing more in there than appears in the show. So, good old brotherly love really. ;) The Impala and (believe it or not) motel doors get a montage of their own also. Along with a few other things...

At the end of the day though it's just a bit of fun.

No money made but comments are gratefully accepted.

It surprises me I haven't come across a vid that looked at all the places they stay yet. What a great idea for a vid!

Exactly what I thought. I'm a bit of a sucker for themed montages (I find them the easiest to vid), so the idea of looking at the motels really grabbed me.

Trying to find moments of domesticity was difficult. They don't exactly wash dishes and vacuum. Though I liked the idea that for them it's research and preparing guns. It's bringing in food and working on laptops. Their domestic lives are very different to ours.

One of many things I miss about the WB is single layers and topless Winchesters.

Amen! So rarely we get a repeat of that wonderful moment (one of my favs) of Sam sitting on the bed in his purple whippet T-shirt looking at his laptop. *happy sigh*

Thanks so much for watching honey. :)

It was a delight! Aw yeah, I have a weak spot for the whippet shirt too :) And I have to assume the lack of common routines is deliberate. Because given their various exposition scenes, you'd think it would be make sense to block a lot of "routine activity" bits to break up those discussions.
