Hunting 102, Wednesday, 1st Period
Sam was back at the front of the class again this week, looking nice and human and no longer canine. He still occasionally scratched the skin behind his ears though. Thanks, island.
"So, by now you've probably all figured out that the people in Fandom can come from very different places, with very different kinds of religions," he said. "Every religion has their own God, or maybe even multiple gods and goddesses, but not all of them are benevolent to their followers. Pagan gods in particular can be really capricious, even to the people who are most devoted to them. Zeus fathered a ridiculous amount of children with immortal and mortal women alike, and there are multiple trickster gods out there who love to give people exactly what they want, but in the way they least want it. Now, I was going to have you guys research different gods, but that idea got shut down." See, Dean could be the nice teacher every once in a while! "So instead, we're going to watch a movie which, while cute and musical, still gives you some idea of what these gods are like."
