Okay, letâs see whatâs happening over on The Winchesters:
⢠Weâve got someone whose greatest regret was not saying âI love youâ to her husband before he disappeared.
⢠Weâve got someone who fell in love with a man who wasnât human (âfrom totally different worldsâ). He died; immediately after, she had his half-human/half-something-else son. She was scared of her son and inadvertently pushed him away. She still believes following your heart is never a mistake.
⢠Weâve got two parents who split because things werenât the same after their adopted child died.
⢠Weâve got someone whoâs come back from a faraway war, traumatized over losing his good buddy and imagining he sees him everywhere.
⢠Heâs also infatuated with someone but the pair of them are convinced the other doesnât feel the same way. One wants to be asked to stay; the other always pushes away. (Their long-suffering friends & family are like ugh would yâall just get together already this is painful to watch.)
⢠He also has a thing for men in uniform & loves seeing his friend dress up in funny little outfits.
⢠Oh he also has an anger problem and being manipulated by a god who calls himself Destiny did not help.
⢠Weâve got a headstrong (read: bossy, annoying as hell but you canât help but love âer) hunter with a soft spot for kids, following in her (missing) fatherâs footsteps, whose deepest trauma (in a subconscious that is a world of darkness with a trauma behind every door) was being told at five years old that she was destined for a life of violence. Thereâs a knife under her pillowâshe likes to keep it close. She never was a child.
⢠But wait! Then thereâs a freewheeling bisexual who lives on the road & speaks entirely in pop culture references.
