A brief, pointless exchange with my bff...who will henceforth be referred to as "Zeretal" in this LJ.
...no, I don't exactly know why he picked that, don't ask me.
Hazgarn 10:21 pm You know what I think is hilarious?
"Zeretal" 10:22 pm You find many things hilarious.
Hazgarn 10:22 pm Fics shipping characters with things that aren't people.
Hazgarn 10:22 pm Like Dean/Impala
Hazgarn 10:22 pm XD
"Zeretal" 10:23 pm lol
Hazgarn 10:23 pm I actually read a lot of fics early on where the Impala was turned into a woman.
Hazgarn 10:23 pm Only recently have I found one where the Impala was turned into a guy...and there's kind of a funny story behind it.
Hazgarn 10:23 pm Do you know who Ian Somerhalder is?
"Zeretal" 10:23 pm Not off hand, probably.
Hazgarn 10:24 pm He's one of the guys from The Vampire Diaries. I don't really care for him outside of the funny for this story...
Hazgarn 10:24 pm So, you know Tumblr, right?
"Zeretal" 10:24 pm Yes
Hazgarn 10:25 pm Apparently there's this weird little community on Tumblr of fangirls who are obsessed with this idea called "Ianpala". Which is an anthropomorphic version of the Impala that looks like Ian Somerhalder.
Hazgarn 10:25 pm And most of them ship him with Dean.
Hazgarn 10:25 pm It's just...so bizarre and specific.
Hazgarn 10:25 pm Fandom is weird.
"Zeretal" 10:25 pm lol
"Zeretal" 10:26 pm You're calling that weird?
"Zeretal" 10:26 pm Ms. Zombie-Masturbation?
Hazgarn 10:26 pm No, that's actually the introduction to part two of the discussion.
Hazgarn 10:26 pm And hey, I've never done zombie masturbation.
"Zeretal" 10:26 pm You lie >.>
Hazgarn 10:26 pm No.
"Zeretal" 10:26 pm You may not have done it openly.
Hazgarn 10:27 pm Okay, I might have mentioned in passing that it wasn't...effective.
"Zeretal" 10:27 pm AND?
Hazgarn 10:27 pm That's it. Basically just that after his heart stopped... Look, you get what I was trying to communicate there.
"Zeretal" 10:27 pm lol
Hazgarn 10:28 pm Zombies exist. Zombie boners don't. Happy?
Hazgarn 10:28 pm Anyway, in relation to the Ianpala thing, I realized something...
Hazgarn 10:28 pm In some of my non-zombie containing fics...I kind of ship Kevin Ryan/New York City.
Hazgarn 10:28 pm Can you ship a city?
Hazgarn 10:28 pm I think I shipped a city.
"Zeretal" 10:29 pm Lol

Somehow, it makes sense. You see Ian, especially as Damon, and him being sleek, sexy black metal with leather seats... not that far of a stretch.
They did make Sampala canon, so... anything could happen.
YES!

But the prologue of "Of Mice and Men" definitely reads as love at first sight for Acorn, and several of the upcoming Interludes for "Black Edelweiss" read this way.
