man. every time i see a bunch of supernatural takes that have the implied, "because john winchester is an irrideemably garbage parent and evil person forever" i just. want to sit these people down and go, "ok. your wife just burned to death, leaving you with a four year old and an infant. you know nothing about the supernatural (because it was your wife's estranged family who was into all of that garbage), have no close family of your own, and the only thing you DO know is that your family is in danger. what do YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION?"
#as someone with a dad v similar to john#it hurts WORSE when they try their hardest and do genuinely love you#and they fuck it up really badly anyway#because the love was there but all it did was make everyone involved feel worse about it#i dislike john as a character#because i CAN dislike him as a character without the complications that come with my own relationship with my father#i鈥檓 allowed to hate john#i don鈥檛 feel like i have that luxury with my own father#but yeah. could john have left them with bobby? sure.#but the half insane paranoid marine he would have been probably wouldn鈥檛 have considered it#he鈥檚 written like that to serve the story#i hate john. but i know sam and dean both have that queasy guilt-love-pain-regret-anger that i have towards my own dad#and like. john was written into a corner. he鈥檚 like that on purpose#you鈥檙e supposed to feel empathy for all three of them#and if you鈥檙e predisposed to feel it more strongly for the boys because of your own experiences that鈥檚 fine#but be aware of it! unpack it a bit!#it is helpful to know WHY you have that reaction#john winchester

idk if this is a young fan thing or new fandom culture but some of yall think fics are abandoned way too quickly. a few months or a year or two is not unusual to go without a fic update. sometimes fics take longer to write, other times writers have rl events, or maybe there's multiple fics and one gets more priority. there are tons of reasons for fics not to be updated every week or every month. it also isn't uncommon for people to come back and update fics after a number of years鈥攊ve read updates that took five, or ten years. people's lives change, but they still want to tell their stories. personally, i never consider a fic abandoned unless the author has said so; though if it's been a few years i manage my expectations. but a last update being a year ago is... generally not a sign that a writer has abandoned their fic
