Who are your mutuals or friends on here – and – who do you want to be your mutuals or friends?

Before I go into this I want to say. If you're looking for friends on here, want to talk about writing, fandoms, couple cannon or not message me! I love to talk to new people. My writing and coming on here has slowed a bit but I'm happy to talk!

It was nice to go through all these and reread some of the stories I loved and see if anything was new.

Mutuals that I talk to often

@polkadotpenguin16 and I talk often. I follow her stories and we often preread each other's stuff. Also just a generally awesome human. If you like Sonny Carisi (SVU) she has quite a few stories out now. And she gives awesome recs!

@chicaotaku17 and I have recently started chatting. They recently started writing for Chicago One. They have started a light hearted HalsteadSister fic if that is your jam.

People I follow & Recommend

I put some of these in another post but they deserve the credit and maybe this will help more people find them! Seriously check them out!

@felicitysmoaksx writes fanfics for Jay Halstead & Kim Burgess (Burgstead) for my followers who found me reading RRR. They also have a wide variety of stories for Connor Rhodes/ Sarah Reese that I love! It's my two favorite couples to read for One Chicago and they are both near impossible to find.

@tropes-and-tales-archives has awesome Sonny Carisi content that I reread probably a little too much. Whistle Down The Wind is probably my favorite at this point.

@bullet-prooflove writes for so many different fandoms and does a damn good job at it. Be warned if you start going through their masterlists you will be there for days. Totally worth the hyperfixation! I go back to comfort read all the time.

@plaidbooks SVU content- you will definitely spend some time on this page before you run out of things to read! Nick Amaro and Joe Velasco got it for me.

@svuwritings SVU mostly Nick Amarou and Sonny Carisi

@itsgrimeytime has great Rick Grimes content but I don't think they are actively posting anymore. Still, check them out!

@crossbowking Some of the best damn Daryl Dixon stories you will ever read. They capture him perfectly. Binge to your heart's content.

@arrowenchantress reblogs a lot of stories I like which introduces me to new authors. I think it's Rick Grimes and Logan Howlett (X-men) content that brought me to the page.

@storiesofsvu has so many fandoms for you to choose from SVU, Chicago PD, Criminal Minds, and NCIS

@fightmewiatch I'm pretty sure that Nick Torres content brought me to their page. But I keep around to read their Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and Teen Wolf content.

@pascalispretty SVU stories. Sonny Carisi and Nick Armaro. They also have SonnyxRafael if that tickles your fancy.

@angelwings-crossbowstrings Daryl Dixon stories- need I say more. Enjoy

"We had Wayward Sisters. I thought that should have really gotten a shot." -- Jensen Ackles at NYCC 2022

"I love this story...man do I want to help tell this story!!!" -- Jensen Ackles about Wayward Sisters, on twitter 5.13.2018

"This needs to exist." -- Jensen Ackles about Wayward Sisters (via Kim Rhodes, reported in hypable January 2018)

“Selfishly, I’m split. I’d love to see these girls go and tell this amazing story, and I’d love to help them do that. But at the same time, I want to keep those characters in our world. I don’t want to let them go; they’re amazing characters. They’re fan favorites and they’re cast favorites, so there’s a reason that they got that opportunity and I think it just goes to show how great they are and how valuable they are to us.” -- Jensen Ackles about Wayward Sisters (EW, 5.17.2018)

"I felt it was important because Dark Kaia’s promise to Dean in 14.09 was so loaded, and we never resolved it. (The plan was to do it in S14 but it didn’t happen.) That Jensen agreed it mattered gave me some steam to push for it." -- Robert Berens on twitter, 3.17.2020

---

A gentle reminder that Jensen liked WS and was disappointed in didn't get to series. He also recognized why it was needed, and you can see the impact of WS on The Winchesters. Centering female pov, inclusive casting, more room and space for characters to breathe and live and address their traumas, centering a group/found family...all earmarks of WS.

Also to correct some misinformation certain parties like to keep spreading: WS wasn't cancelled because of low ratings or because it was bad, and it wasn't because antis hated on WS. The support for WS was big. The reason it didn't get picked it was due to behind the scenes politics on the corporate level having to do with CBS and WB co-ownership of CW.

Hello! Could you write Ava Bekker x Fem reader is could literally be anything with fluff smut and angst.:D

In the Aftermaths

Requested: Yes, by anon

Description: Ava's death ate you up and spat you back out

ships: Ava Bekker x Fem. Reader

Warnings: suicide, mental illness, distress, (If you're struggling with your mental health, please talk to someone in order to get the proper help you need).

Word count: 800

----

The call that came from Mrs Goodwin as soon as you heard about Ava was definitely the start of the end of it all. You'd done so much for her, to help her get better. You had known exactly why she had murdered herself, although it didn't make it any easier for you. When the funeral came around, not even Connor Rhodes was there, or hardly anyone from med, Adam, Kim and Kevin were there to accompany you. You knew that it was mostly because they felt bad for you but you couldn't bring yourself to care, not now, not anymore.

Weeks after the funeral, you found yourself still not back at work. The team dropped by every so often, tried to get you to come back to work or go out for drinks but you wouldn't hear of it. Instead you stayed in bed, crying. You had found Ava's diary it had the most awful of things in it, but it also talked about how much she wanted to be with Connor. Y/n knew that Ava had an unhealthy obsession with the man, probably loving him more than she did her, which was true by the way. She had also found that in her diary. It was that moment that she broke, she couldn't keep anything of Ava's anymore.

----

"911, what's the emergency?"

"Hi, I uhh think that there's been a break in in my neighbours apartment?"

"Alright, and what's the address."

"Apartment 33C on -----" (A/N: Make up your own street name. I live in NI and have no clue of US street names)

"Do you know if the homeowners home?"

"I would assume so, she's hardly left after her partner died about a month ago."

"Alright, we have units dispatched to the address"

----

"Units in the 21st and citywide, we have reports of a possible robbery at apartment 33c on -----" It was Kim who picked up the radio to reply, immediately recognising the home address. "5021 Eddie and 5021 Ida responding, be advised plain clothes officers responding."

Kim gave Adam an apprehensive look as the started the car to Y/n's apartment. "Should we loop in the others?" Adam kept staring at the road, unresponsive for a minute before finally saying no. Kim nodded and stared out the road, it wasn't long to get to Y/n's apartment and as soon as they did they could hear the commotion from outside, glass and ceramic shattering. Adam nodded to Kim as they went inside and up the flights of stairs, ushering civilians back into their homes.

Once they reached her apartment door, they knocked... no answer though it did go silent. "Y/n, It's Adam and Kim. We were called to come check up on you. Let us in please." Adam shouted in at her, another crash came from inside and that was the last straw, Kim kicked the door down and cautiously walked into the room, both of them had their guns drew. What was once a clean and homely apartment had been well and truly trashed "Y/n? are you here?" Kim asked.

"Here" a shaky voice called from behind the sofa. Kim looked back at Adam and put her weapon away before rushing to her friends side, spitting on shattered and cracked glass on her way over. "Hey N/n, what happened sweetheart?" Kim asked as she grabbed Y/n's hands, they were covered in blood, but the rest of her looked fine.

"I...I She... She never loved me Kim, she didn't love me!" Y/n practically shouted and Kim immediately pulled her in for a tight hug, tears streaming down the broken girl's face, "She never loved me and I thought she did. I'm so fucking stupid." "Y/n shhhh please, It's okay, she'd not here anymore. You can get over her, we'll be here to help you, right Adam?" "uhh yeah of course, we'll always be here for you hon."

Adam was observing the room, It was clear that Y/n must've had some sort of mental break. But who could blame her, she had lost the love of her life only to find out that the woman she loved with all of her heart never really loved her in the first place. "I don't think I can do this anymore," Y/n cried. Adam was the first to react, "No don't say that Y/n, ever. Come on, let's get you out of here."

Suprise Return-Erin Lindsay

Hey guys I hope you enjoy this one-shot, I have just started publishing my writing so there may be some mistakes and if you want to view more of my content I will place a link to my youtube below.

Warning: This is a slight continuation of my other Erin Lindsay story love at first sight.

///

The only person who knew that Erin was in a relationship was Voight. He noticed after spotting the small pile of  literary classics next to the couch at Erin’s apartment one night.

After shooting her a curious look with a raised eyebrow, Erin explained that she met someone reading them and thought she’d give them a try, eventually asking you for some recommendations and giving you her number.

Your relationship with Erin quickly became serious by the time that she was working up in Intelligence with people she’d only referred to by surname and Hank, who you had already met.

You knew of a Halstead, Dawson and Olinsky. It was only over a video call that Erin told you about Atwater, Ruzek and Burgess.

You’d also heard all about Platt when Erin was recounting how the photos were taken.

She also mentioned Ruzek had eyed her causing you to give a chuckle and yawning slightly after.

“you look tired, babe.” Erin smiled, cooing at your sleepy state.

“These time zones suck and I can never sleep comfortably without you” You admitted with tired sigh and sad smile.

The different time zones, not knowing when you will be back and long distance relation took a lot of energy to work however you couldn’t be happier with the life you two share.

“I should let you sleep, you look adorable, but exhausted-” Erin began but the whine that left your throat had made her laugh..

“I love you.” You stated, leaving Erin to respond with a cute grin, her cheeks dusting pink like this was the first time you told her you loved her.

One of your favourite things about Erin was that her reaction to you saying that you loved her had such a sincere reaction. It was as if you were saying it for the first time each time.

“I love you too, babe. Sweetdreams!” Erin replied before the two of you ended the call.

///

It had been months since you’d been in Erin’s arms and the long distance and time physically apart was killing you.

That’s why you jumped at the opportunity to do a residency at Chicago Med, working alongside Connor Rhodes in trauma surgery as he did both Trauma surgery and Cardiothoracic surgery.

Now it was time to return to your love.

The time zones were on your side as your flight had you flying whilst it was still nighttime in Chicago, meaning by the time you were landing, Erin would be at work.

Your first thought was to head to the district, but the issue was, if Erin or Hank weren’t there, you were unsure if they would let you past the front desk even if you were in military uniform.

Erin frowned as her phone began to ring, glancing at the ID to realise you were calling.

“Hey, shouldn’t you be asleep?” Erin murmured into the phone, ignoring the looks she was getting from the others as her eyes lit up and she rushed out of Intelligence.

“Erin!” Jay called out in shock at her action, gaining a shrug from Platt as she followed alongside Adam, Kim and Kevin.

“What’s going on-” Kim began before Adam whistled, gaining rolled eyes and small laughs from everyone else.

///

You were standing inside the lobby with your suitcase behind you when Erin came running out, pausing trying to spot you only to see you standing there with a cheeky grin on your face.

Everything else was blurred as Erin made a beeline to you, wrapping you in a tight hug to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. 

“You’re here, you’re really here.” Erin whispered into your hair, smiling as she felt you wrap your arms around her,a felling of comfort and happiness radiating off the both of you as you are finally in each other’s arms after so long.

“When an offer to return to you came up I jumped at it, hopefully you will be stuck with for a long time” You explained, kissing her forehead as she met your eyes before you froze with a slight blush gracing your cheeks.

“We’re being watched.” You said with shy smile

Erin paused at that, turning around in your arms to look directly at the rest of Intelligence with a raised eyebrow and slightly annoyed look which had them either shrinking back or giving her amused looks.

“I’d ask if you wanted to meet them but you look exhausted, did you sleep on the plane?”

“Turbulance woke me up a few times and I was too excited about seeing you ” You said only to cover your mouth to yawn, leaving Erin to coo at you tired face.

“Let’s get you home, babe. We just finished a case so, we have the rest of the night to ourselves.” Erin smiled, brushing a piece of fluff from your eyebrow as you leaned to nuzzle you head into her neck.

///

You let out a tired but content sigh as you flopped onto the bed, hearing Erin chuckle as she ran her fingers up through your hair.

“Mmm” You moaned the sensation of her soft hand and delicate fingers caressing your hair making you sink deeper into the bed.

Your eyes landed on Erin’s nightstand and the familiar book that laid there on it.

“Re-reading it again?” You asked, breathing in Erin’s pillow as you felt her lay next to you spooning you from behind, her arm going around you to the exposed skin of your front caressing your sides and stomach. You discarded your coat and jacket at the doorway, leaving you in a t-shirt that rode up as soon as you’d flopped down.

Your skin tingled at the feeling of Erin’s fingers caressing you and turn your head to give her a quick but love filled kiss resting your hand on hers squeezing it to slighty show how much you missed her

“I missed you.” Erin said softly, smiling to herself as you yawned again.

“C’mon sleeping beauty, let’s get you to sleep.” Erin chuckled, smiling more as you shufled closer into her embrace.

“I love you Erin.” You whispered, pressing a kiss to her neck as she gave you a loving smile, arms around your waist as her fingers ran over the exposed skin of your front.

“I love you too”

Episode 108 Transcript: Hello, It’s Allergies. Hello, It’s Rhinitis. And this is Stuffy Asian Beauties.

[intro guitar music]

G: Hello, it's Grey.

C: Hello, it's Crystal.

G: And this is Busty Asian Beauties, a Supernatural commentary podcast where I, someone who has seen the show many times...

C: And I, someone who only knows the show through social media, discuss every single episode of Supernatural from start to finish. Also, we are both Asian.

G: Both Asian! For today's episode, we are discussing Season 6, Episode 4: "Weekend at Bobby’s," written by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loflin, directed by Jensen Ackles.

C: Ugh. I couldn't really tell that there was anything special, director-ing-wise, so.

G: Which is probably a good thing, yeah.

C: Yeah. It means he wasn't noticeably bad at it.

G: Yeah. And this is like a gimmick episode. Like, there's a gimmick. I suppose every episode supposedly has a gimmick, though. [C: Yeah.] Yeah, but this one, it's a gimmick episode. Okay, let's start with, did you like it?

C: Yes, but I don't think the writers like women.

G: Well, that's obvious fro everything that Supernatural has done.

C: Yeah. And every time they brought out the damn cobbler, I started booing and throwing tomatoes at my screen. I think that was stupid.

G: Didn't they just do it one time?

C: No, there's several times where Bobby brings it out, and he is like about to take a bite or whatever, and then somebody calls, and he's like, "Oh my god! I never will have rest in order to like indulge in the domestic life provided to me by women, which could comfort me. This is so sad!" [G laughs]

G: Yeah. And I think me asking, "Does it ever come up?" is proof that I did knit while watching this episode. So sorry.

C: Yeah. Hmm.

G: No, not "hmm." [both laughing]

C: What's the right sound? "Yayy!"

G: You're supposed to say, "So true!" Like that.

C: Okay. So true!

G: I do like this episode, I would say. Like, if I was a person who liked Bobby- [C laughs] It is incredibly hilarious to me that Dean was like, "Wow! Some things are more important than Sam, aren't they?" And it's like, dude, you're talking to Bobby. [C laughs] [C: Yeah.] Everything's more important than Sam, it seems like.

C: For real.

G: What did you know about this episode before going in?

C: I knew that people liked it, and that's about it.

G: Or did they? They did, yeah. I mean, this is a beloved episode, and allegedly, Bobby is a beloved character, so that's not really a surprise. [C: Yeah.] Yeah. Do you think watching this, you understand better the people who are like, "My favorite Supernatural character is Bobby"?

C: Um, no. I mean, he's fun this episode, I suppose, but he's just sort of a POV character. [G: Yeah.] I feel like I don't know him or like him better in the episode. I think it's just like, "Oh, it's interesting to have an episode to think about all the effort that goes behind these sort of phone calls that come up sort of deus ex machina during a case episode for the Winchesters." That was what this episode added for me.

G: I think the Bobby aspects of characterization that we're supposed to learn is that he doesn't know what to ask for help, and he neeeeeds to! or something.

C: Yeah. I guess so. Who cares? [G: Yeah.] Bufus are in love, though.

G: I do think it's incredibly fun- Okay, let's start with the "Then" sequence. I do think it's incredibly fun that we start in like a "triumphs of Bobby's bisexual history." [C laughs] [C: Yeah.] Good for him. Like, we meet Crowley, we meet Rufus, and we see Kim Rhodes. [C: Jody.] What is her character's name? [C: Jody.] Jody, yeah. We see Jody. And it's like, is Bobby involved with these people in different manners that are similar? Yes, is the answer. [C laughs] [C: Yeah.] I am so happy to see Rufus again. [C: Oh, absolutely!] He is incredibly fun, as always. And we get Jewish Rufus confirmation this episode, [C: Yeah.] which is also fun. I do think because Bobby's character type is grumpy old man, they play into that quite a bit, and I think it's the first time I realized that they do actually- like, that is Bobby's archetype. For some reason, I never really realized that before, that they're doing an archetype with him. And they are. He's the grumpy old man! [C: Yeah.] And he is so grumpy and so old, and he has never been so cold [C laughs] or something.

C: He's not that old, but yeah.

G: He's like 61 at this age.

C: Is that so old?

G: No, that's like normal.

C: Well, I guess Penelope Scott wasn't that old when she sang that song. She was younger than 61.

G: Yeah, allegedly. It's about feeling old. Do you think Bobby feels old?

C: Yeah.

G: I think he feels tired. I think he's going to say "estoy cansado" next episode.

-

C: Alright, we start the episode, and we're in Bobby's house, and he's working on some kind of summoning ritual. When it succeeds, Crowley shows up in his house, and Crowley's, you know, being a flippant, silly guy or whatever, and Bobby's quite antagonistic.

G: And this was like, a year ago, so this was like, pretty much immediately after the Apocalypse shit went down.

C: Yes. They have an exchange where Bobby offers Crowley a drink, and Crowley's like, "Ewww!"

G: "I only drink alcohol that is Scottish" or whatever.

C: Yeah, something called Craig that has reached at least 30 years.

G: Okay, I have a question. Do you think they use the Scottish accent to make fun of that guy later? [laughs] I think they do!

C: I don't think so. Really?

G: I think I think they make the whole Scottish thing a way to make fun of Crowley, or something that Crowley should be embarrassed of, or something. [C: Really?] They asked him if he wears a skirt, and he's like, "It's a kilt." [C: No, that's true.] Bobby's like, "What's his name? That's not true. That's Scottish." And Bobby-

C: Well, that's just because he has a British accent.

G: I know, but they make it a reveal and everything [laughs] [C: Yeah.] that Crowley is Scottish, and it's like a whole thing. It really is a whole thing, seems like.

C: Yeah, I guess so.

G: And I do think an aspect of it is like, because it's funny or it's supposed to be. [C: Huh.] Like, it's supposed to be funny that he's pretending to be British, and he's actually Scottish.

C: Yeah, I think it's funny that he's pretending to be British and he's actually Scottish.

G: "It is funny." [laughs]

C: But like, I don't think that the fact that he is Scottish alone would be played for laughs. It's the fact that he's ashamed of it.

G: He's hiding it. [C: Or hiding it.] No, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. But like, I don't know. Don't you think the fact that he is hiding it is something that is like, whatever? Are they trying to say something? What are they trying to say?

C: I mean, within the UK, there is accent discrimination [G: Oh, yeah. Of course.] So, just, I don't know. He's just trying to seem what other people would perceive as more fancy and sophisticated. But yeah, I think they they just put it in with his whole like, "He's a fake!" stuff along with his selling his soul for an extra three inches on his dick.

G: Yeah, I do think it's a fascinating choice to have him be a tailor in his life, which is something they mention later, [C: Yeah.] and then one of the things that he was like, upset about because he was like-

C: "They ate my tailor."

G: Yeah, they ate his tailor, and that's like a sign of him not living the fancy life that he wants because he's being, you know, Apocalypsed. [C: Yeah.] And like, yeah, I do think I get what you're trying to say, and I think that's true.

C: I guess it's the- [laughs] were you asking if it's bad that they're doing it?

G: No no no, I'm asking, what is the intentionality behind it?

C: Yeah. I do think people in general take Scots less seriously than Brits, though. [G: Yeah.] So that's part of it.

G: My baby sister did say when we were listening to the David Tennant How to Train Your Dragon audiobook that she can't understand his accent, and "Can we just watch the movie instead?" [both laugh] So yeah, it very well may be.

C: Yeah. Well, your little sister is the arbiter of the greater social opinion.

Bobby tells Crowley, "We put Lucifer in the cage, so you promised that you would give me my soul back." Crowley does this thing where he snaps, and all the writing on the contract appears on Bobby's arms.

G: Yeah. Pretty fun! Later on in the show, they would just have a scroll.

C: But he says, "You didn't read the little paragraph that I added in the contract particularly closely. That part of it is on your crotch, that might be why. But anyway, it says that I only have to make the best efforts to give you back your soul, so, um, you know, I tried. But I can't!" So Bobby's stuck with the usual demon deal thing of he lives for ten years and then he goes to Hell. Bobby's like, "I hate you and want you to die. And also, you're standing inside a devil's trap painted with invisible ink or whatever the fuck. So I'm gonna keep you here until you give me my soul back." But Crowley is just like, "Whatever." and summons a hellhound to threaten Bobby with. So that's our cold open.

-

G: So we go to modern day, and the situation is that Sam and Dean are looking at a case, and they realize that they don't know what the fuck is going on, and so they ring up Bobby. At this point, Bobby's outside, and the phone rings a lot. And then when he comes in, Dean is being like a fucking horrible guy. He's like, "Ah, I can't believe you didn't answer me within two rings, Bobby! I can't believe it! Do you have better things to do? Did you have a fall and you can't get up?" which is very rude of Dean. And yeah, he delivers the news of they can't figure this thing out. "Can you figure it out for us?" Bobby goes, "Okay, whatever." And so Bobby starts his investigation. His research, even. And he like, starts reading books from his house. And this is all set in a soundtrack. A song I don't recognize. He's like, "Oh, damn it! I can't find anything!" He goes out. He goes to the Sioux Falls University Library. Very fun.

C: He passes his neighbor-

G: Yeah. On his way there, he's driving. There's this lady who he smiles at, and the lady smiles back and waves. And yeah, I do think there is like, a fun aspect of this where he seems familiar with like, the people and the place, and, you know. That is fun to think about with the respect of Sam and Dean, especially Dean this season, thinking of hunting as something that has no roots, and that that is fundamental to the hunter experience. And then you see Bobby, and he has roots!

C: He says that he's done a lot for the town. I guess in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," we learn that he has a reputation as the town drunk, but that's still a role in the community, I guess. [both laugh]

G: No, I mean, he does save people and stuff, but I mean, the only reason why those bad things happen to this town is because he's in it, so like, really, [C: True.] what is he doing for this town? A lot, allegedly.

C: I'm sure he's hunted other things before that weren't after him specifically.

G: Stuff is happening. His car won't start, you know, and a door is locked. He breaks in to get inside, and he does say "Balls!" throughout this montage. Before this, was it ever like, a Bobby tagline? I don't think it was.

C: He'd said it before, and nobody else had said it, so.

G: Yeah. But like, was it a thing already? Perhaps it was. I just didn't care about Bobby. It's a very distinct possibility.

C: It's possible, indeed.

G: There's like, you know, more of the montage, and then he figures it out. He calls Dean. Bobby is about to deliver his lore speech, and he says, "You're hunting a lamia," which is a Greek monster that they've only seen in Greece, and it's weird that it's not there, it's outside. Anyway, Dean asked, like, "How are we gonna kill it?" And Bobby just goes, "Well, the easiest way is silver knife blessed-" blah blah blah, and then Dean just goes, "Okay, whatever!" and then hangs up immediately. And Bobby doesn't get-

C: He told Bobby, "I only love you like a coworker."

G: Literally. Bobby's kind of upset because Dean didn't let him finish his lore montage.

C: And it's 5AM for him.

G: Yeah. What time was it for Dean? Where are they? They're in Wisconsin.

C: Well, I think it's about the same time for Dean, but-

G: Well, it's also 5AM.

C: - they make a big point of the clock changing [G: Oh, yeah, showing the clock, yeah.] while he's doing research to show how he never gets any rest because he's working for Sam and Dean and all these other people.

G: Yeah, he's working for the knife that is Sam and Dean. He goes, "You're welcome," reinstating to us that Dean didn't even say, "Thank you"!

C: Wow. So at this, there's a call from the basement where some woman yells, "Hey, I'm still here!" And Bobby goes downstairs, and he has a crossroads demon tied up in his panic room. And he's been questioning her, trying to get her to tell him Crowley's real name, his human name, so that he can threaten him into giving him his soul back. And this demon is a hot woman in a little black dress, like every crossroads demon we've seen, and she's doing the whole thing where she's crossing and uncrossing her legs and all that stuff because nobody knows [G: Yeah.] how to write evil women on Supernatural.

G: And she's being sexual, and she's saying sexual innuendo. And you know what? A part of me was like, "Wow! I thought the demons were just into Sam and Dean because they thought Sam and Dean were hot, and the show is trying to tell us that Sam and Dean are soo hot [C: That's true.], but no! They also do it to Bobby, who is just fine!" [laughs]

C: Well, they also have Bobby have a love interest this episode, so maybe [G: Ugh. So true.] their point isn't that all demons are sexual, but that Bobby is so hot!

G: Yeah. Is Bobby hot? A question we will never answer. [laughs]

C: Yeah, I mean, I can answer it. [G: Okay, answer it.] No. I don't know. I'm sure Bobby has appeal to some people.

G: You know, people say that the older you get, older people are more attractive to you. [C: Yeah.] And that lady later is, I think, younger than him.

C: I don't know. We'll be able to look up the actress later.

G: Are we?

C: We will. [laughs]

G: Yeah. Or will we? [laughs]

C: What do you think is gonna happen that we won't be able to? We might forget.

G: Yes, I think the main thing would be forgetting. [C: Yeah.] I think the second main thing is [C: Uh-huh?] life in the world as we know it collapsing entirely and IMDb being inaccessible.

C: Okay, you know what? I'm just gonna look up "Marcy Supernatural." She's gonna have a Wiki page where she has the actress's name.

G: [laughs] Okay.

C: The actress is Jennifer Aspen. [G: Hell yeah.] I'm going to find the birth year of Jennifer Aspen. [typing] She was born in 1970, so she is younger than whatever this guy's name is. Jim?

G: Beaver.

C: What's his name?

G: Beaver. [C: Yeah.] That is a fun surname.

C: He was born in 1950, so she is 20 years younger than him.

G: If you're 40 years old, would you want to date a 60-year-old? Question of all time.

C: I'm not 40 years old, so I wouldn't know.

G: Yeah. But at 20 years old, you do want to date a 30 years-old. So it's possible.

C: I don't wanna date a 30-year-old.

G: Yeah, that is true. Well, I want to date a 50-year-old, but let's not talk about it. [both laugh]

C: She'll notice you one day.

-

C: She starts trying to provoke him by bringing up how he killed his wife again and again, and Bobby's just like, "No, I just want to torture you by taking something that's yours"--they don't tell you what it is until the end of the episode--"and lighting it on fire." And she tells him that it's a myth, but he lights the things on fire, and little patches of fire show up on her skin, and she's screaming in pain, etc, etc. And she tells Bobby that Crowley is the king, not of the crossroads, but of all of Hell.

G: Hell, baby! Good for him. Very fun.

C: Then the bell rings, and he goes up, he looks through the peephole of the door, and his neighbor is there, and she-

G: And she's fixing her hair.

C: - and she's arranging her hair to look nicer, [G: Yeah.] and Bobby checks that his breath doesn't smell bad and straightens his clothes a little before he opens the door.

G: Which is fun, yeah.

C: Yeah, I think it's a nice, cute way to show that two people are mutually interested in each other.

G: Yeah. Is this the equivalent of having a crush on your coworker? [C: How so?] No, this is the equivalent of having a crush on your neighbor, which allegedly happens.

C: Yes, which is what's happening.

G: Yeah. She brought a peach cobbler. What is the thing that Karen was into making? It was pie, right?

C: Yeah, it was pie. [G: Yeah.] And Marcy says it isn't just a peach cobbler. It's a ginger peach cobbler.

G: Which sounds wonderful!

C: It does sound fun and good.

G: Yeah, anyway, she brings it over, and, you know, she's like, "Oh, it's really good. It's my specialty!" And she tells Bobby to like, smell it, and then he does, and he's so awkward. But he does give a smile, and he's like, "Mm, very fun." There is screaming in the back [laughs], and he goes, "Oh, yeah, I'm so sorry. I love horror. It's a guilty pleasure of mine." And she's like, "Love it! Love horror! Have you seen Drag Me to Hell?" [both laugh] and he's like, "Well, I'm trying to avoid it," which is also funny. Anyway, she goes, "Well, you know, over the weekend, you can come over to my place. We'll have dinner, and we can watch a movie, and I can whip up my batch of famous white chocolate popcorn!" She's really trying.

C: Yeah, "I'm gonna cook so much 'cause I'm a woman!"

G: Ugh, this is true. But like, how do you invite people to your house? "Have a drink." Don't have drinks. Don't like drinking. "Have some coffee." Hate coffee, more than alcohol! [C: Yeah.] "Have some tea," I guess.

C: Sure, yeah, or it could just be a chips and salsa situation.

G: I don't like salsa. I also don't like chips.

C: You're not Bobby Singer! [both laughing] Why are you talking about this like this?

G: No, this is true. She should have just invited Bobby for some nice whiskey or something.

C: Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with- well, I'm not blaming her as a character. I'm blaming the writers.

G: No, no, yeah. No, but like, this is like that situation where it's like, "Oh, Jimmy was having a crisis, but he's not gay. So how do straight people have crisises?" You know?

C: Ah, yeah. How do women invite people over without cooking? [laughs]

G: No, how do people in general? Like, how do you do it? [C: Yeah.] "Let's watch a movie," I guess, is something.

C: Yeah, I think that's enough. You can just have it during not meal hours, like 2PM, so they have lunch beforehand by themselves.

G: Yeah, this is true. Or you can go out somewhere else that isn't the house. Allegedly people do this.

C: Yeah, I don't think there's that many restaurants in Sioux Falls.

G: Yeah. But he's done so much for the community! Maybe even established a barbecue joint. [C laughs]

C: So true. That's one of his other jobs. We just didn't see it because it wasn't important to his journey?

G: Yeah, it's like, you know, it's like automatic to him. [C: Yeah.] It doesn't even register anymore that he's absolutely killing it at the grill. [C: Yeah.] That is a thing that he does. He grills stuff, right? [C: Yes.] So true. Go Bobby. Anyway, Bobby kind of hesitates, and Marcy's like, "Okay, yeah, well, that's fine. But I also have a woodchipper that's broken, and if you would like, you can come over and look at it, because people say that you're like, handy and stuff," [C laughs] which is very fun. Yeah, and Bobby's like, "Okay, let me see!" Before she leaves, she extends a hand for Bobby to shake, and they're a bit awkward about it.

C: Yeah, 'cause he's holding the cobbler with both hands. [G: Yeah.] So he has to maneuver it.

G: Yeah. As she goes, Bobby closes the door in this like stance, like, thinking about it a little bit. And then he's like, "Okay!" He puts down the cobbler, he heads downstairs, [laughs] he starts screaming, "What's his name?!!" to the demon while blasting it with a flamethrower. We are again faced with the question of all time. What is Supernatural's deal with torture?

C: I mean, didn't we already answer this question? [G: Yeah.] It's that they don't think monsters can be convinced or reasoned with, so the only language that they can understand is pain.

G: I mean, this is a rhetorical question. It's a rhetorical question.

C: Yeah, okay. [laughs]

G: But they really do have a deal with fucking torture is what I'm trying to bring up. [C: Yeah.] She finally reveals that Crowley's name is Fergus MacLeod. The name has been revealed, and the crossroads demon was like, "Okay, well, now, you gotta send me back. It's our deal." But Bobby just holds up the bag. Of what? We'll figure out later. And he's like, "You know what? I gave it my best effort, and I'm still going to burn you alive." And so he does by torching the thing in the thing.

C: Are we supposed to think he was cool for that, or is it like a, "Wow, he's really gone off the rails."

G: The thing is, I think we're supposed to think he's cool because it's not like they make any effort to show us that, like, Bobby's losing it or whatever the fuck. [C: Yeah.] And the thing is, I think we're also supposed to think Sam is cool later for going, "You know what, Dean? We had a deal." So like, what's the situation?

C: That they hate women, maybe?

G: Yeah, I mean, that is the situation. Very obviously this situation. [both laugh] It is fascinating that like, "Oh, we had a deal. But you know what? I'm not gonna respect it." is a sign of strength, but also, "We had a deal, and I will respect it" [C laughs] is also a sign of strength. [laughs] [C: Yeah.] So it's not about the respecting of the deal. It's about the existence of a deal itself, I think, is the thing. I think also-

C: That you're the one with power?

G: Yeah, it's the power of like- But like, you also have the power if you let the deal hold by itself, right? Or I think the point is that with Crowley, I honestly thought this is what Sam was gonna say later. With Crowley, Crowley can do things for them, [C: Yeah.] but this demon is dispensable, I think, is the situation. So it's like, why would I- With Crowley, if we let him go now then, it's like, he owes us. Versus this demon, yeah, she owes us. But like, who the fuck cares because we don't need her? I think, is the vibe. [C: Uh-huh.] Horrible!

C: Bobby is doing some research on Scotland in general.

G: Literally just Scotland. [laughs]

C: He picks up a call from Garth! [G: Yeah.] Who we haven't met yet.

G: Yeah, it's Garth reveal. Hi, Garth! Love Garth.

C: Yeah, and it's a fun little bit where he's like, "This doesn't sound like a vampire. You should call the FBI." And then [laughs] he immediately gets a call on his fake FBI phone and it's Garth. [G laughs]

G: And Bobby goes, "Not me, idjit, like the real FBI! I wonder how you're still alive by now!" [C: Yeah.] I do love that he was just researching Scotland. It's like when Sam looked up vampires. So real.

C: Yeah, so real. [laughs] It's where to start. Yeah, he's picking up a bunch of different phones where he's being an FBI guy, a CDC guy. [G: Yeah.] Female hunter mention where, at some point, while picking up a phone, he goes, "Of course she's one of ours, and if she says she's gotta dig that grave up, you better damn well let her."

G: Feminism. [C: Slay.] I do love this scene, and I think it's quite evocative. The visual of having all the phones there. I am a bit sad that Jensen Ackles, the director of this episode, did not linger on the visual of it because it's good. It's a good look. Maybe it did linger on it, and I just wasn't looking. That is also a possibility.

C: No, but you mean sort of a wide shot [G: Yes.] with the montage where he's moving around, hitting different phones at different times. That would be fun.

G: Yeah, like, have like a shot that is the phones that is not focusing on Bobby, but focusing on the phones, I would have enjoyed. And they do do that later in the show when it's Sam and Dean's turn to be those people, where it's like just a bunch of flip phones, and it's like, "Oh, yeah, FBI," which is very fun. And like, that is- I mean, this scene, like, it's fun, but the value of it for me is it showcases what Bobby's role is in the community. He really is a pillar in the hunting community, which is very fun, and also, the fact that they bring up this virtual again later on with Sam and Dean as they now become a pillar of the hunting community, now that Bobby is gone. [C: Yeah.] It is like, fascinating to think about the fact that Sam and Dean have this such loyalty to the hunter brand when they have like, actually quite little connections in the hunting life. Like, you know. I think it is telling that John brought them up in this lifestyle or culture and environment but also made them pretty much not intermingle with anyone who is also that lifestyle and environment. You know what I mean? [C: Uh-huh.] And I do think if they had more hunter friends, they would ease up a bit. [laughs] Like, maybe they'd calm down, you know?

C: Yeah, they would unclench.

G: Yeah, unclench a bit. And I think the times in the show where we have seen the concept of a bigger hunter commune is with Ellen and Jo's bar-

C: The Roadhouse, yeah.

G: The Roadhouse. I'm so sorry. I completely forgot the word for it! That's so sad!

C: Yeah. Do you hate women?

G: [sadly] No. [both laugh] I don't. But yeah, so we have the Roadhouse, we have this Bobby thing, and I suppose we'll see it later on in the show.

C: Someone starts pounding on the door, and it's Rufus! [G: Yeah!] Iconic scene, I think we've all seen it, where he's like, leaning on the doorframe, out of breath, and he goes, "Oh, good. You're home. Listen! You gotta help me bury a body."

G: And Bobby's just staring at him like, "What the fuck is up with this guy?" Yeah. This scene is wonderful. It is iconic. And yeah, love Rufus! It's the first time we're seeing him since the beginning of Season 5 if I'm correct, right? I am correct. [C: Yeah.] 5.02? [C: Stupid-ass episode.] I think, because in the past, we have established that Rufus and Bobby are kind of like a- they're mad at each other, but jokingly, but also not jokingly, which is a fun dynamic. [C: Yeah.] And you know, what we've seen of Rufus and Bobby- Okay, let's do a like, timeline of Rufus and Bobby from what we've seen in the show so far. We have, like, Bobby telling Dean, "Go to Rufus. He'll help you."

C: Yeah, Season 3.

G: Yeah. And Dean being like, "Hi, Bobby sent me" and Rufus being like, "Okay, well, then, fuck off," which is very fun. [C: Yeah.] We have "If you call again, I'll kill you." [laughs] [C: Aww.] and then Rufus calling again immediately. [C: Yeah.] We have, "And Rufus? Take care of yourself." Ah! Love it. [C: Yes.] And then we have this. And I do think, like, it is a consistent-

C: Was there anything else? I think throughout Season 4 or 5, Bobby was like talking to Rufus about apocalyptic signs a few times.

G: Yeah, but I don't think we actively would see it, right? A lot of the times, it's Bobby saying, "Yeah, Rufus said." But I think the phone calls I mentioned and you mentioned are the ones that we really see them talking. [C: Right.]  don't know. I think it is an interesting dynamic of like, antagonistic friends. So important. [C: Yeah.] And they are friends! Look at them!

-

C: In Bobby's scrapyard- and yeah, so Rufus brought some body over because police were chasing him, and they rib each other about like, "Oh, you're getting slow!" "Oh, I'm getting slow? All you do is sit on your ass all day taking calls." And we see the body, and she's Asian!

G: It's an Asian woman! She's literally Asian, and it's because she's a Japanese monster. It's literally the reason. [C: Yes.] And I mean, I do find it hilarious that they were like, "Oh, we need-" I mean, it's better than having a white woman play it, I guess. [laughs]

C: Yeah, which they've done a lot of times.

G: But also, like, again, we come up to the whole thing where it's like, you only have an Asian person to be an Asian monster or whatever. Or like, you know, having the-

C: Yeah, this monster is an okami, which I think is just "wolf" in Japanese and not like, a creature. So yeah, she has these sharp teeth or whatever. They're both surprised at this because the only time Bobby has ever seen an okami was in Japan, and that also tracks with Sam and Dean hunting something that's usually only in Greece in Wisconsin. So Bobby has a mechanical digger, which can dig a hole for the okami very easily. [G: Love it.] And we get Jewish Rufus confirmation where he's looking at it, and he goes, "Man, I know what I want for Hanukkah." Love it! They bury the body, and they're chatting about the whole Crowley situation. [G: Yeah.] And Bobby says that what he's gonna pursue is that Crowley said in the beginning that he liked Craig, and that he'd been drinking it since he was in grade school, which means that he probably grew up where Craig was made. And Rufus immediately is like, "Oh my god! I know everything about Craig. It's only made and sold in a tiny area on the north tip of Caithness County," and he starts going into like, you know, wine tasting people's descriptions [G: The notes, yeah.] of what alcohol tastes like. And he's like, "I'm not a heathen. I obviously know what Craig is, you dumbass!"

G: So true. [C: So true.] Rufus- when Bobby sent Dean to Rufus, he told him to get a Blue Label, right? [C: Yeah.] That already happened, right? That was in Season 3. [C: Yeah.] And also, when he dies, they pour a whole bottle- whole bottle?! Dude. [laughs] Give a half to yourself, is my opinion. Does Sam and Dean have like, hobbies similar to this? Well, I suppose Sam has serial killers.

C: Cars? One car.

G: Car. Serial killers. [C laughs] What else?

C: I mean, Dean's music is sort of a hobby, [G: Oh, yeah.] especially the fact that he knows trivia about Led Zep.

G: I think pop culture is Dean's hobby. He loves a TV show, movie, a song. [C: Yeah.] A book. He reads. [laughs] Aesop, etc.

C: Yeah, The Odyssey too.

G: What are Sam's interests? He loves serial killers. [C laughs] [C: Yeah.] He loves being vegan, but they never say it. He loves being secretive about the fact that he's vegan, but also very explicitly open about it, just never saying the word, that's a hobby.

C: Uh-huh. He loves doing it, so much. Sam doesn't have a lot of-

G: He loves lore.

C: Yeah, I guess that's a hobby.

G: Yeah. What else are Sam's hobbies?

C: Nothing.

G: He loves a Dewey decimal system, but that's just us projecting.

C: Yeah. Projecting? I don't love the Dewey decimal system.

G: Well, I do love to do a decimal system.

C: You're projecting on Sam and me.

G: Well, he would grow plants after Dean dies, but also again, that's just us, I think. [laughs] Is that true? Or do we see him grow plants when Dean is dead?

C: I don't rember. Well, I haven't seen it also.

G: You haven't seen. [laughs] I was viciously reminded of Jared Padalecki's wig at the finale of Supernatural recently. [C: Yeah.] What a horrible thing they do to Sam Winchester, even. [C laughs] Maybe he's into bag wigs. yeah.

C: Rufus tells Bobby, "You know I have contacts over there in Scotland. I can make a few calls." And Bobby says, "I ain't asking for no help." And Rufus says, "I ain't asking for your permission." They're in wuv!

-

G: Bobby is allegedly about to eat a piece of his cobbler, but then he is stopped by Dean calling him. And Dean's like, "Okay, well, what's the other way to kill a lamia?" And Bobby's like, "Well, did the first one not work?" And Dean's like, "Well, no. So what do we do?" And then Bobby says what they should do, but as he's saying it, there's a massive knock on the door, and Bobby's trying to hold him off, but eventually he had to let them in because it's the cops, including Jody. Well, it's Jody and some other guy. Bobby does this thing where he's like, "Oh, I'm talking to my mom," which is very fun. [C: Yeah.] "Just wait a minute. I'm guiding my mom through cooking." And then he goes back to the phone and he's like, "Okay, well find salt and rosemary, and really cook it well-done" or something. [C laughs] Yeah. And then he goes, "Is it okay now? Okay, well, have a have a fun roast, mom!" [laughs] Would Bobby's mom still be alive? I think so, yeah.

C: Yeah. Well, I don't know. He's 61.

G: In her 80s, probably.

C: She's be 90 or in her 80s, yeah.

G: I mean, allegedly. She's probably dead.

C: Yeah, she's probably dead. I thought it was sweet that he stayed on the phone until he knew for sure [G: Yeah, it was done.] that the lamia was dead.

G: Well, the last time Dean hung up on him, it didn't work, [C: True.] so by the process of elimination, it is Bobby that killed that thing.

C: Yeah. I can't believe that he said the easiest way was a silver knife blessed by a priest when like, you can just get salt and rosemary from the grocery store!

G: How do you get a priest who is maybe not aware of what that silver knife is supposed to do to bless your silver knife?

C: Just be like, "This was my dad's favorite knife, and he died recently" or some shit?

G: Do you think that's gonna work?

C: I don't know. You're the Catholic.

G: My first idea was that they would have- They have a car, so they'll be like, "Oh, our car is new. It's vintage. We just bought it. We want it blessed," which is something people do. People get car blessings. And so they have the car there, and then they put the knife in the car, and then the priest blesses the car, and it will in turn bless the knife.

C: Will it?

G: I don't know. The intentionality is, in fact- [C: Yeah.] But you know, when you bless a car, you open everything.

C: So he sees the one million guns they have.

G: No, I'm assuming they would put that compartment down. But if they put the knife somewhere that a bit of it is peeking out like of the seat or something, but it's still obstructed, and the priest does the holy water, it will touch the knife, and will therefore bless it. What do you think?

C: Sure, why not? [both laugh]

G: Honestly, I don't think it works like that. I think there needs to be an intentionality behind blessing this specific thing. But you know what? It could be possible.

C: Yeah, I guess it was the flamethrower aspect of it that was harder, but they just had one.

G: Yeah. Do you think they do mass blessing to weapons? At this point, just have every weapon blessed, right?

C: True. Does it ever wear off?

G: I don't know. I mean, does holy water wear off?

C: Yeah. It evaporates.

G: Not if you bottle it. Oh, this is true. But would the vapor be holy? [laughs]

C: Well, the vapor would be in the air and not on the weapon.

G: Would the particles itself- This is a separate conversation.

C: Oh, like, do demons walk through the world, and occasionally they go, "Ow!"

G: "Ow! Owie!" Yeah, because there's a concentration of holy vapor.

C: Yeah. Probably.

G: So fun! Love it. Anyway, that's all said and done. Bobby greets these cops and what they're saying is, they put up a sketch of Rufus, and they're like, "Okay, well, did you see this guy? His name is Rufus Turner, aka Luther Vandros, aka Ruben Studdard." And Bobby's like, "Nah, I've never seen that dick." [laughs]

C: Love is real!

G: The cop is like, "How do you know he's a dick, then?" and Bobby goes, "I don't know. I just think maybe he is." [C laughs] And the guy cop is like, "Well, people saw him carrying a body over here. So what's that about?" And Bobby's like, "Look, man, that's soo ridiculous!" And Jody steps in, and she's like, "You know what? Me and this guy, we have a relationship." And she says she's been arresting him for ten years now, so why don't we just separate, and you investigate outside, and I investigate inside. And the cop's like, "Okay, fine." And as soon as the cop goes out, Bobby goes, "Why did you let him go out there?" And Jody says, "Well, I think it would be better if he was out there than in here. I don't think you want him in here." And Bobby goes, "Well, yeah, because I have a body in the basement. But I also have a body in the yard!" [C laughs] Jody is like, "Oh, fuck! Damn it!" And so they go out and they pace about, and they see the guy, and the guy's like, "Bobby, there's a giant fucking hole [C laughs] in the yard. What's that about?" And Bobby's like-

C: But it's empty.

G: Yeah, it is empty. I actually couldn't figure out what they were trying to tell me until later. The hole is empty. I thought they just did a bad job of like, putting the dirt back in the hole.

C: But we saw it completely smooth over it earlier?

G: Is that true?

C: Yeah.

G: Okay, well, that's my fault. My bad, even.

G: Bobby's like, "Oh, yeah, I did a septic tank thing, so watch where you step!" He calls Rufus like, "Rufus, this thing is dead!" Or, well, "This thing is not dead!" [C laughs] Rufus is-they start going back and forth on if Rufus did the proper methods of killing so that this thing will actually be dead. And Bobby's like, "Did you use a bamboo dagger?" Rufus goes, "Yes." "Blessed by a Shinto priest?" And Rufus is like, "I'm not fucking stupid, Bobby!" And Bobby goes, "Did you stab it seven times?" And Rufus goes, "Well, I stabbed it five times." And Bobby's like, "It's supposed to be seven!" And Rufus is like, "No, it's supposed to be five." But anyway, this thing is alive because Rufus forgot two stabs. [C: Yeah.] [C laughs] Bobby asks, "When you found it, what was it doing?" And Rufus said it was feeding on, you know, single white females, usually while they sleep.

C: [laughing] Incredibly funny, incredibly funny. They're usually in Japan. How do they survive off of this diet?

G: No. What Bobby is saying is like, what were they doing when you found it? Not necessarily like, "This is their diet. What's their diet?"

C: Okay, yeah, this is a special one, and it had to come here all the way from Japan because it wanted to eat white women so bad.

G: No, the point is like, "What is the modus operandi of this specific thing?"

C: Yeah! [G: Yeah.] Which I think it's funny that they wrote it to be this.

G: I mean, it is hilarious that they wrote it this way specifically so Bobby can go to his girlfriend's house.

C: Yeah, like, I feel like she doesn't need to be specifically into single white females. Like, I think just the fact that this is your neighbor and it escaped from your property is enough. You could be like, "I saw some tracks" or whatever.

G: Yeah, like, Bobby could be like walking around, looking for a clue to where this went off, and he sees that like, there's a track going to the house or something. [C: Yeah.] Well, that's how it happens.

C: Have we ever had a monster who was only after, like- besides the racist truck [both laugh]- a specific racial or gender group?

G: Well, there's the gay gorgon who was going after gay men.

C: Well, we haven't had him yet.

G: Yeah, but he's iconic, so I thought I should mention him.

C: Alright. Thank you for mentioning him because he's iconic. I just feel like they really went out of their way to do this, and it's silly to me.

G: No, I mean, yeah, they did go out of their way to do this, and it is silly to you and me.

-

C: So we're now in Marcy's house, and she's preparing to go to sleep, but there's like a shadow crossing the window, and then Bobby fucking kicks in her door. He says that she needs to show him where her bedroom is, and he's swinging around a gun and checking everywhere, and she's like, "I'm trying to be chill about this, but what the fuck is going on?" And Bobby asks if she's seen anything weird, and then she notices the okami on the ceiling about to jump at her. And there's a whole fight thing where Bobby's wrestling with the okami a bunch and crashes out of a window into the outside, and they're still fighting, etc, etc. And then they're at the woodchipper, and he accidentally hits the power button, and it turns on, working completely fine, and during the fight, he is able to shove the okami into the woodchipper, and she gets destroyed.

G: Yeah, and Bobby gets sprayed with blood, but then we go to Marcy, and she's completely drenched. It is a fun look, and she's in a white nightgown.

C: She sure is. They're both a little bit in shock, and Bobby goes, "I thought your chipper was broken." And Marcy goes, "I just said that to get you over here." And Bobby says, "I guess I could come over for dinner some night. It might be fun." [laughs] And Marcy just goes, "I don't think so."

G: You know what who would have said yes? [C: Who?] The woman from "Dead Pig Collector," a very fun short story. You guys should check it out. [laughs]

C: From what?

G: No, I'm just promoting it. What? What do you mean?

C: Oh, who wrote it?

G: Warren Ellis, I think. Wait, let's see.

C: It's called "Dead Pig Collector"? [G: Yes.] Okay. Yeah, I see.

G: By Warren Ellis. Very fun!

C: Yeah, and Bobby says, "Story of my life," which did annoy me.

-

G: Bobby calls Rufus now, and Rufus is like, "Wow, I can't believe you're still alive." And Bobby's like, "Yeah, well, I killed it. So fuck you." And Rufus asks-

C: Yeah, he also calls the okami "Godzilla."

G: Is that supposed to be a thing?

C: Well, I guess it's a Japanese monster.

G: Do people think of Godzilla as a Japanese monster?

C: It's a kaiju, isn't it?

G: Yeah, but then like, that's just some guy at this point. Is Godzilla so tied to culture? [laughs]

C: Well, to Rufus, it is.

G: Yeah. Isn't there Godzilla vs. King Kong? Isn't that a thing? [C: Probably.] Yeah, what the fuck is that about? [laughs]

C: I think Godzilla probably fights King Kong.

G: No, but like, is it an underdog story? Like, King Kong is the underdog?

C: I don't know what King Kong is like.

G: King Kong's a giant gorilla.

C: What's Godzilla then? Oh, it's a lizard thing! Godzilla is sort of a dinosaur-looking thing?

G: Yeah, like a giant lizard that is a dinosaur. Yeah, love it. Do you love Godzilla? Yes or no. 5. 4. 3. 2-

C: I've never seen anything. I mean, I didn't even know who Godzilla was briefly.

G: I do think he's removed enough from the concept of being Japanese for this joke to be a thing. Although now that I think about it, why else would they make it?

C: Yeah. [both laugh]

G: And also, this was in 2010, so maybe the concept of Godzilla is less pronounced in pop culture. Anyway, Rufus asked, "Oh, so you just happened to have a bamboo dagger blessed by a Shinto priest?" And Bobby goes, "No, I shoved her through a woodchipper." And Rufus goes, "Oh, okey-dokey! Well, woodchipper, that trumps everything," which is pretty fun, and does remind me of when Rufus was like, "I'm gonna blow their legs off!" and Dean or something was like, "That's not gonna kill them," and he goes, "Well, they can't run if they don't have legs." Rufus thanks Bobby and apologizes. He says, "I screwed up."

C: Okay, Bobby says, "Forget it. I figure I still owe you more than you owe me," which is a reference to a thing we never learn in canon, which is that Bobby is partly responsible for Rufus's daughter's death. Right?

G: Is that true?

C: Yeah, there's a bonus content thing where-

G: I mean, I know that. But like, is that really what this statement means?

C: I think so. I think it's about their past. It felt loaded.

G: Yeah, Rufus does do a "Hm." about it, so maybe.

C: Yeah. It's so sad that that never makes its way into the show in actuality. And they kill him. So it's not like they were like, "We'll reveal this later down the line in the Bobby/Rufus story" and then they forgot. Rufus takes a moment to process those words, and then he goes, "Okay. Well, you owe me another thing because I have a lead on Crowley. His full name is Fergus Roderick MacLeod. He was born in Canisbay, Scotland in 1661, and he had a son named Gavin."

G: After Caravaggio and Shakespeare. So true.

C: So true. The son was the captain of a trading ship that sank in 1723 off the coast of Massachusetts, so he has a ring that is inside a maritime museum of Andover, and Bobby says, "I need that ring." and Rufus goes, "Are you asking for my help, Bob?" Very cute. [G: So true.] And Bobby very reluctantly says, "I'm asking for a ring, and I'd appreciate your help getting it." The world's best proposal.

G: They're engaged! They're about to get married! So true. [C: So true.] Bobby said, "Marry me a little." Is that a funny joke, or is it so corny? [laughs]

C: I don't know.

G: I think if I committed to saying it, it would be.

C: I think Dean and Lisa are sort of the "Marry Me a Little" relationship.

G: No, because his name is Bobby, and he's saying, "I'm asking for a ring."

C: Okay, I see, I see. Yeah, okay, yeah. It's a funny joke. I'm sorry I didn't get it. That's on me.

G: Thank you. You were too invested in the plot of Company to realize the incredibly shallow joke I made.

C: Silly me.

-

C: Rufus is already heading to Andover to get this ring, and Supernatural thinks we're stupid, so he has him exposit to Bobby that "Oh, so your plan is to get the ring and summon Gavin's ghost in order to exchange hostages with Crowley, so that you can have your soul back!" Bobby says, "Yeah, something like that." He is trying to eat the cobbler again, where he takes it out of the fridge, but then the phone rings, and he's so sad. And Dean called-

G: Just eat it while the call is happening, just like me in the podcast and you in the podcast.

C: I don't get it. And me in the podcast! I love to snack during the podcast.

G: No, yeah, it is incredibly funny when I'm editing the podcast, and I start speaking in a way that will imply that I will speak for a long time, and then I hear a crinkle of snacks from your end. [both laugh]

C: Yeah, I mean, it's always first thing in the morning for me, so I usually haven't eaten before. [G: So true.] I got hungry during. But yeah, so Dean's like, "Yeah, the case is fine, Bobby. But it's Saaam!" [both laugh] And Bobby looks up, kind of annoyed. [G: So true.] And he's like, "Something's different about Sam, he's not right-"

G: Honestly, this is a hilarious scene. I mean, it is a hilarious scene. I don't think it's supposed to be funny. It is funny, though.

C: I think it's supposed to be a little bit funny with the whole Sam looking at Dean being like, "Ugh. Okay!" during Bobby yelling at them.

G: I do find it so amusing that like, if you're not like fully invested in the Sam and Dean story, and you're just like, a bypasser in a way- Like, Bobby is invested, but also, he's not like in the day-to-day like we are as an audience, how ridiculous it all sounds. [C: Yeah.] [laughs] Like all their drama? So fucking true. Now, I'm thinking about like when Ellen was like, "Okay, so what's up with you two?" and being like, "Okay, fine, here we go again."

C: Yeah, yeah. I mean, she thought that they were both fighting for the same woman or something, so yeah, to her, whatever their drama is, it seems very frivolous to her.

G: Yeah. Literally. And it probably is. [C: Yeah.] What was happening when she said that? Sam just-

C: Sam's demon blood thing.

G: Oh, yeah and opening the gates or whatever.

C: Dean wouldn't let him hunt.

G: Not the gate, the Cage.

C: That was in Season 2. They didn't know about the Cage yet. This was specifically in 5.02, right? So it was that Dean wouldn't let Sam go outside to hunt on his own.

G: Oh yeah, because of the demon blood. [C: Yeah.] So true.

C: So it was about that.

G: It was about Ruby. Oh, that is the implication that they're doing. Like, they're fighting over a woman-

C: Yeah, but in a different way than Ellen thinks. [G: Yeah.] Dean's like, "Ugh, I know he's been through so much, and he changed, but like, something's wrong, Bobby!" And someone starts calling Bobby, specifically Rufus, and Bobby's trying to cut this short. But Dean's all like, "Can you tell me everything about what Sam was like during the year while he was away?" [G laughs] And Bobby is just like, "Dean, no. I have another call." And he goes, "You what??"

G: Yeah, he puts Dean on hold, and Dean is so bitter, upset, sad, crying, throwing up.

C: Bobby says, "I have to take this. It's important." And Dean scoffingly laughs and goes, "More important than Sam???"

G: It's literally Bobby, Dean. Bobby doesn't give a fuck. [C laughs] And the thing is like, it is not urgent. It is a conversation that can have a pause, you know?

C: It can happen at any time.

G: This is not something that is- The thing is, to be perfectly clear, Bobby didn't hang up. He put Dean on hold, which means that he is committing to going back to this conversation. And if Dean later on wasn't like, "Oh, yeah, Bobby. Never mind, then. Fuck you!" like, Bobby would have continued that fucking call.

C: Yeah, I mean, Dean's just meant to be extremely selfish right now in order to cause Bobby to snap, so these are all things that the writers agree with. It's about how Dean doesn't think about how Bobby has other hunters that he's in contact with. He thinks that he's so special, so he can't imagine that anything could be time-sensitive for him, etc.

G: Yeah. You know what should have happened at some point in Supernatural? [C: Yeah.] While Sam and Dean are visiting Bobby, there happens to be two other hunters that are visiting Bobby that are around their age, [C laughs] and they realize that Bobby has so many like, "like a kid to me" people in his life. [C laughs] It will be hilarious. Dean would literally cry and throw up.

C: Oh, absolutely. In "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," he was like, "Karen, I hate you, and Bobby's like a father to me! [G laughs] So I don't know why you're up in my business trying to control his life." even though she was like a wife to him, so this is a pretty consistent characterization.

G: So true. Hilarious.

C: So it's Rufus on the phone, and he's driving very fast. There are police chasing him because he stole that ring from the museum, and he's like, "I have to hide this ring!" and Bobby says, "Don't swallow it!" and he says, "I'm swallowing it!" And he does.

G: And it's so cute because it's not like he didn't hear Bobby well. It was more like Bobby going, "Don't swallow it" gave him the idea that he can swallow it, and so he does! [C laughs] So true and so important.

C: Yeah, they are in wuv. And the rest of this, we only hear from Bobby's perspective, they didn't shoot this, but the police catch up to Rufus, and he says something about how the police are using unnecessary force, and that he knows his rights. And Bobby hangs up and goes back to Dean.

G: I did wonder here about like the concept of a, you know, a Black hunter like Rufus, [C: Yeah.] and the types of leeways that Sam and Dean get for being white men. [C: Yeah.] I mean, Rufus was retired for a long time, or at least retired on the hunting side of hunting. He was on the research, as he said.

C: Yes. I have also wondered this, but I don't think I really have anything to say. [G: Yeah.] Except that I do think that him like pointing out the force, and that he knows his rights is something that I hadn't heard Sam and Dean say, and it seems like something that he did like, I don't know. You know-

G: This is more conscious thought about it, yeah.

C: Yeah. Yeah, I guess these weren't the same people who wrote last episode, or are they? Who wrote last episode? Bedlund. [G: Bedlund.] I don't know how much they coordinate, but this is two police brutality against Black people mentions [G: Yeah, they're back-to-back.] back-to-back in this season, so yeah. I wonder if they talked about this amongst themselves at all while writing.

G: If I were to place a bet, I would say no. [laughs]

C: Yeah. Yeah. Just a coinkydink.

G: Bobby is like, "Okay, well, Rufus is being arrested." He goes back to Dean, and Dean is like, "Bobby, what the hell??" [both laugh] That is what he sounded like. And he's like, "You know what? You're the one person I can talk to about this stuff. I'm so stressed out about everything. There's Sam, and there's Lisa and Ben. I don't even know what to do anymore! And you won't even listen to me?"

C: He says that he's the only person he can talk to about leaving Lisa and Ben, which is also the language [G: Not true.] I think Sam used last episode about Dean joining him on hunting. Like, did I totally misunderstand 6.02? Isn't he literally just on a business trip?

G: I think- you know what? When you were saying that, halfway through, I thought what you were gonna say is "Has Sam convinced Dean that this is, in fact, leaving Lisa and Ben?"

C: Or, I don't know. I guess I was more wondering if Dean told Sam that it- phrased it in a way that made it seem like it was more permanent.

G: No, but like, if you remember, the start of that scene is Dean-

C: He is on the phone with Ben, yeah.

G: - telling Ben off in a way that is very much like he is still solidly a part of Ben's life. So like, I think it was explained well to Sam.

C: Yeah. So like, why are they saying leaving?

G: Well, Sam got into Dean's head. [both laugh]

C: So true. He's not coming back anymore. [G: Yeah.] Except when he's a vampire. I know that happens.

G: Only when he's a vampire. Any other situation, he's not coming back. [C: Yeah.]

As Dean is going on this retort, Bobby just does the Kubrick stare, and like, you know, he goes, "Okay, well, I hear you, Dean, but now, it's not a good time." And Dean just goes, "Yeah? You know what? Forget it. I mean, I'm baring my soul like a freaking girl here! [laughs] And you've got stuff to do, so that's fine. But seriously, a little selfish. It's not all about you, Bobby." [both laugh] He's hilarious.

C: They really ham it up here.

G: In fairness, he is incredibly funny.

C: I don't think Dean would say this. [laughs]

G: Yeah. Anyway, Bobby just goes like, "Okay, well, where's your brother?" And then they put him on speaker, Dean calls Sam, and now they're listening to Bobby deliver his angry monologue. He goes, "Well, I love you both like you're my own, I do. But sometimes, you two are the whiniest, most self-absorbed sons of bitches I've ever met!" And you know, he's like, "I can't believe you call me selfish when you two are so fucking annoying." True. "I dig up so much lore for you two, and I pulled you out of fires, and when you need someone to bitch about about each other"--[both laugh] and then Sam hears this and looks up at Dean like, "The fuck? That's what you were doing?" [C laughs] And Bobby is like, "You call me, and I come through, and just for this once, you won't even give me whatever. Anything." And he says, "You guys are not the center of the universe," which will be disproven by the show, [C: Yeah.] "But in case it slipped your mind, Crowley has my soul, and time is running out, and I will be damned if I'm going to sit around and be damned." And he goes, "Well, how about you two help me for once?" And Sam goes, "Bobby, all you gotta do is ask." [both laugh] I can't believe Sam is being included in this! He did nothing wrong. [C: Yeah.] This is Dean's fault.

C: Yeah, I don't know, man. Maybe Sam was really annoying during that year, and Bobby's just been building up to this for him, too.

G: Literally. Do you remember that one time when Sam was drinking, and he was like, "Bobby, I think I'm gonna throw myself into the pit."

C: Yeah. [laughs]

G: Bobby has resented him ever since that conversation.

C: So true. Dean says, "Anything you need, we're there."

G: Yeah, which is how Bobby manages to guilt Dean into going to Scotland via plane.

C: Yeah. Hell yeah. So the next day, he meets up with Jody, and yeah, she says that Marcy called the police and she told her that she'd look into the home invasion but didn't file a report. That seems quite mean. Like, Marcy saw the okapi. Or sorry, the okami? Yeah. Marcy saw the okami. [G: Yeah.] I feel like Jody should probably just explain it to her.

G: I mean, not only saw the okami, saw the okami go through a fucking woodchipper. Like, what's going on?

C: I don't know. But yeah, they don't care. 'Cause what Bobby needs is a favor for his boy best friend!

G: He did not let go.

C: Rufus is being held in Massachusetts on a burglary charge, and he needs Jody to extradite him for a murder charge. And this is, you know, Bobby, reaching out and asking for help more, that's his arc, as you've mentioned, and Jody's like, "That is not going to happen. It's so hard. I would have to call in all my favors. And how are you going to help him escape from being here under a murder charge? This is going to ruin my career." And Bobby's like, "Pwease?? Yeah, I've done a lot for this town, including things you don't know about, and I'm not good at this asking for help thing, but pwease?" And Jody says, "Sorry. I can't." And he's very sad in his house, and then there's a knock, and Jody's there, with Rufus! And Rufus goes, "Miss me?" Ah! I love love. [G: Love it.] Jody says that they have one hour, and then she's going to call the Feds and say that Rufus escaped. And Bobby goes, "Thank you." And Rufus produces the ring, which I guess he shat out at some point, and Bobby is off to clean it.

-

G: Bobby summons the son of Crowley, and this dude's name is Gavin. But later on, and honestly, until now, I mean, honestly, I thought his name was Kevin. [both laugh] Because the entire time, I thought Crowley was calling him Kevin. But no, his name is, in fact, Gavin. It would be incredibly funny to be a guy from the 1660s or whatever- well, I suppose 1670s?- and be named Kevin. Bobby starts talking to this guy, but we don't hear what's happening, and it's like, ominous on what's going on. But then we go to Bobby summoning Crowley. And Crowley allegedly looks bad, but I think he looks completely fine. And Bobby goes, "Well, you look like hammer crap," and Crowley goes, "And you're a vision as always." Love is real! [C: Yeah.] They do this with Dean and Cas, too, in a way that I find completely amusing. I think it was Season 10 after Dean goes back to human from being a demon. Cas goes in, he's like, "Well, you look like crap." And Dean goes, "You, on the other hand, looking good!" or whatever. Incredibly funny.

C: Yeah, I've seen this.

G: Yeah. Are they gay? Question of all time.

C: Yeah. [laughs]

G: They are? Or it's a question of all time?

C: Well, I don't know. That's for you to find out.

G: Yeah. Well, happy November 5 to everyone who celebrated, including meee! Crowley is like, right under a devil's trap, and basically, Crowley talks about how he has trouble in paradise because it's so difficult to run Hell. Crowley goes, "You know what the problem with demons is? They're demons. Evil, lying rats, the whole lot of them. And stupid. You try to show them a new, better way, and they don't want it!" So, you know, etc. He says that maybe Lucifer was right when he wanted to kill every demon in the world. Bobby shows like, the kid. Gavin. [laughs] The kid is a grown man. He's just Gavin to Crowley. And then Crowley goes, "Kevin?" [both laugh] He goes, "Kevin, is that you?" And he starts putting on the dramatics like, "Oh, I love you so much! I miss you! I can't believe it!" but then he laughs, and he's like, "Well, sorry, Bobby. I don't actually give a shit about this kid." I think he says "I loathe the little bastard." So true and so fun. What if the kid has bad vibes?

C: - was had out of wedlock?

G: Yeah. He says, "You picked the wrong bargaining chip, Bobby." But Bobby goes, "Well, what I actually did was that I digged up some dirt on you, and your kid, Gavin, really helped me out with this one because he loathes you more than you loathe him." And you know, Crowley goes, "What did you tell him?" Kevin goes, "Everything!" Bobby says that Crowley was, as you said, a tailor who sold his soul for an extra three inches on his dick. And Crowley goes, "Well, I'm just trying to hit double digits." So true! [C: Real.] Bobby also says, "And I know where you're buried." And he calls Dean, and Dean's like, "Hi, Crowley! We're in Scotland right now." And we pan over to Sam and Dean, who are in Scotland right now, and there's a castle behind them so you know they're in Scotland right now, and they're digging up a grave, and they go, "Oh, we've gone international. In fact, we're in your neck of the woods." Do you need a visa to go to the UK?

C: I don't know. [muttering, typing] No.

G: No?

C: No.

G: Oh, you are permitted to go without a visa! That's cool as hell! Dean asks like, "Did you really used to wear a skirt?" Crowley goes, "I had very athletic calves." Anyway, they explain that what they're doing is they're digging up his bones, and they're going to burn that thing. And Crowley says, "Well, it's a myth. You can't kill me by burning my bones." But Bobby goes, "I know an employee of yours that would disagree," and then we flash back to the demon and realize that what's inside those bag? Human bones, and they're her bones, and Bobby burned them to kill her. RIP! Bobby has this speech about how like, "You think you're so special? You're just a ghost, but worse!" Anyway, Dean [laughs] does this thing where he's like, flicking the lighter over and over again. And then he goes, "You hear that, Crowley? That's me flicking my BIC for you." And I went, "Ew!" [C: Yeah.] Kind of disgusting. But okay. Eventually, Crowley accepts his fate, and he lets Bobby go from his contract. And Bobby makes a comment about leaving the thing with the legs in, and he does. "Pleasure doing business with you."

C: Sam and Dean are still in Scotland, and Crowley has teleported towards them. Dean's like, "Maybe I'll just light your bones on fire anyway!" But Sam closed the lighter, and he goes, "Dean, he's a dick, but a deal's a deal." And Crowley tells Sam like, "Fuck you. I don't need you to fight my battles for me." I think that's supposed to be another hint that Sam is soulless, because his whole thing before was that he hates Crowley so much and wants to kill him every second they're together. Crowley disappears, and they do a shot of Scotland, where they pan out to the castle and like, the woods and shit. [laughs] [G: So true.] Don't know why.

G: I mean, they don't know how to show anything. [laughs] I do think the bit where Dean is driving on the other side is very fun.

C: Right. So Dean's driving on the wrong side of the road. He's on the phone with Bobby, and Bobby says, "Thank you for doing that, especially because I know you hate flying." Dean's like, "No, it's cool. I love riling up Crowley and shit." And Sam says that Dean was so nervous and puked four times, and Dean says that if some nut job decided to try something, he was going to attack them with a fork. [laughs] So Dean's afraid of flying because he thinks 9/11 is going to happen again? It's not because it's just like, it's really high up in the air??

G: Is that what it implies?

C: He says that what he was afraid of was like, somebody trying to attack him, right?

G: Yeah.

C: So I thought 1.04, he was just saying that humans aren't supposed to be that high up or something.

G: Yeah. But now they're like, "He's afraid because he's afraid that someone's going to be a terrorist in the plane"?

C: Yeah.

G: I thought what they were doing here was that, "Oh, yeah, Dean's afraid of flying, and it's made him paranoid in all other aspects."

C: That could be it.

G: Yeah. Just like when you were flying, and I was like, "What if the plane crashes or Crystal chokes on a cracker or something?" [C laughing] So true.

C: Those Biscoffs are really dry, and I don't like them. I know that's not a popular opinion, but I don't like Biscoffs. I think they're bad.

G: I like them. I'll eat them.

C: Okay. I'll bring them all to you.

G: Thank you.

C: Bobby's like, "I'm sorry for what I said earlier," and Sam's like, "No, you're right! We take you for granted!" Dean's like, "You've been helping us for so long, and we would be dead without you!" And then Bobby says, "Okay, then. Let's roll credits on this chick flick." And I guess I was literally just making fun of them for having emotions earlier, too, but it wasn't gendered, and that's why I'm better. [laughs]

G: Or is it?

C: Or is it?

G: When were we making fun of them having emotions?

C: By saying it in a silly voice. [both laugh]

G: Oh, okay.

C: I think maybe my silly voice is gendered, though. Like, it's higher pitched than my regular voice. Maybe I am the same.

G: I think it's supposed to show childishness. A child would have a higher voice.

C: That's true. Okay, but when we do valley girl accents when we're making fun of them, I think that is gendered.

G: What is a valley girl accent?

C: Like, "[honestly sounds more New York than valley girl] Oh my god!" or whatever. No, not that.

G: This is the first time I've heard you use that voice.

C: Not exactly that, but like, I don't think that was a valley girl accent. I need to review what a valley girl accent is.

G: I think you have a valley girl accent just fundamentally.

C: In general?

G: Yeah? You think that's not true?

C: I don't think that's true. [G: Okay.] Maybe it's true. Yeah, so Bobby says that- No, you're right. They are weird about Scotland because he says, "Try some of the local grub. I hear it's exotic." What does that mean?

G: Yeah. They have that sausage thing, right? It's blood or something? Which is normal schnormal in many places.

C: Yeah, I don't know. Something. Dean's just going to Olive Garden. Good call. Their all you can eat deal is good.

G: You know what? They should have said they should try the whiskey there, which they should have. They're whiskey enthusiasts!

C: That's true. The thing is, they just drink to have alcohol. I don't think they're that into having like good stuff. [G: Fancy stuff.] After finally hanging up, Bobby has cut out a piece of the cobbler. He's sat down with his fork. He's ready to eat it, but the phone rings. And he answers it, and it's back to same old, same old, pretending to be the FBI. And it's so sad that he'll never be able to eat the cobbler because he never learned how to fucking multitask. [G: Yeah.] The end!

G: I mean it also- I think it's supposed to be like, "Yeah, same old, same old, but he doesn't have this burden burdening him anymore." [C: That's true.] Which is nice.

C: He doesn't have this burden burdening him anymore, but he'll also never have a normal life where he gets to eat a cobbler! And that woman won't go out with him because he's a hunter, and he sprayed her all with blood.

G: I mean, I think no, the point is that, you know, you can have this life-changing thing happen to you, and you just go back to your life, and it's still your life, which is pretty nice, I think.

C: Yeah. But the fact that he's like, "Oh, of course this is how it turns out" when she turns down his "I'll come over for dinner" thing.

G: But he's not like, upset. He's not upset at this point in this episode.

C: He's not upset, but I think that the general whole thing is like, you're supposed to feel bad for him because he can't have a normal life, and that normal life by woman thing, you know?

G: Are you? I think it's excellent when someone is pursuing you, or you're pursuing someone, and it falls apart, and you're like, "Now it's done, and I can go back to my life." [laughs] which is what's happening to Bobby.

C: So you think he was really, really happy about it?

G: Well, I mean, he was- I think there is a feeling of like, "Oh, new thing, new thing, new thing. My new thing's over. I can go back to my life."

C: But he's not happy about it.

G: Is he not? He looks fine.

C: [laughing] He's upset during the episode. He's often upset.

G: No, he's upset because there's this fucking time that's ticking for him, and his soul is gonna be taken to Hell and tortured forever, and now that's done, and he's fine.

C: Yeah, no, it's done, it's fine, but he also can't eat a cobbler, and he's been trying to for many times throughout the episode.

G: This is true. But I thought it was like, you know, like at the end of a sitcom, and you're like, "Silly me!" Like that kind of thing. [laughs]

C: I think we're supposed to be sad about it.

G: Really? Who even likes a peach cobbler?

C: Because he tries so much to eat the cobbler. It's a real storyline.

G: Just take a bite while you answer the phone.

C: I agree, and I think that they could have done that as like a, "He's still able to have joys and little things in life while pursuing this life," but like, they don't have him do that to be like, "His life is so hard."

G: I think it would be fine if he delivers a sentence and then takes a bite, which I think will be fun!

C: I agree, but they didn't, because they were trying to say something else.

G: Yeah. Well, that's it for this episode. [both laugh]

-

G: Best Line/Worst Line?

C: It's- yeah. God! There were lines? I'm sure I laughed at points.

G: I do love Rufus this episode, so I think my best line should go to him.

C: Oh yeah!

G: I would say I love when Bobby goes, "Woodchipper," and Rufus takes a pause and goes, "Okey-dokey. Woodchipper. That can do it." They're very cute.

C: He's so charming! [G: Yeah.] I like when Bobby says that he's not asking for Rufus's help, and Rufus says, "I ain't asking for your permission."

G: Yeah, that is good. And you know what? I do think it's fascinating that both of them play the role of like, grumpy old guy, but Rufus is charming and charismatic, and Bobby's just there. [both laugh] I'm so sorry. It's true, though.

G: Yeah. It's because Rufus smiles, and Bobby doesn't.

G: Yeah, Rufus is like, he's more expressive, I suppose, [C: Yeah.] in both the bad and the good aspects of his feelings.

C: And Rufus is also hot, and Bobby isn't. [both laugh]

G: Yeah, well, worst line. I don't like when the demon is flirting with Bobby, 'cause Bobby's not hot. [both laugh]

C: [laughing] And that's the only reason. I think there's like- When Dean says that- well, that's in character, but when he says he's "baring his soul like a frigging girl" in combination with Bobby bringing out the chick flick line at the end.

G: Yeah, they do love to do that. [C: Yeah.] Spreadsheets?

C: Yeah. Alright. Misogyny? It's there.

G: It's there. Two? I do think Dean and Bobby's girl comments and then the portrayal of the demon, so.

C: And also Marcy.

G: Oh, yeah! I suppose Marcy, the thing that they do with Marcy is fundamental to the episode. [C: Yeah. 3?] So I would say a 3.

C: Yeah. Racism?

G: I don't think so.

C: I don't think so. Well, was the okami a little bit? I don't know.

G: Oh. Yes, I would say 1 point.

C: Alright, 1 point.

G: We're allowed. We're Busty Asian Beauties: A Supernatural Commentary Podcast.

C: Yeah. [both laugh] We're allowed to overweight things that happen with Asian people. Just like our breasts.

G: Just like our what?

C: I said our breasts.

G: Ugh!

C: We can cut that. Homophobia. Is the making fun of Crowley for wearing a skirt thing- I don't know. Homophobia and transmisogyny is always pretty combined in Supernatural.

G: I'll give it a 1.

C: IMDb. People like this episode. I know that people like this episode. Do they like it enough to stop hating Season 6 so much? It's like, back to regular Supernatural rating.

G: Well, I'm the first one who's going to guess, and I would say yes. I'm giving this an 8.6.

C: Okay. I was thinking 8.5, but also, that might be, I don't know, I think I want to go higher, because I feel like I know this episode's really liked. But also, every time we've gone high, it's been wrong 'cause people hate Season 6. I'll just go with my initial instinct of 8.5.

G: Okay, let's see. Ha.

C: Watch it be a fucking 9.

G: It's a 9.1.

C: We're so wrong about everything, always.

G: Well, I'm righter, so.

C: Yeah. [laughs] Okay, people really love this episode. People do like it when you go outside of the typical format.

G: Yeah. "Absolute gem of Season 6. The second best episode overall."

C: What's the first?

G: Overall what? Over all of the show? [C: Maybe.] They said that gag with Garth is wonderful. So true. I do love it. I suppose that is also a favorite line of mine if I were to choose two.

C: Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. "Bobby and Crowley were such a good break from the boys. I love them, but sometimes it's a bit much." Real. "There are some very disturbing scenes (the demon execution in Bobby's basement) and some very funny scenes (the woman)."

G: What the fuck is the woman?

C: Marcy? Do they mean Marcy? [G laughs]

G: They love the movie Drag Me to Hell and is very glad that it was mentioned.

G: "The only thing I'm asking myself: Does this episode solve the problem Dean and Sam had all Season 2 in just one Episode?" What the fuck was your problem in Season 2?

C: Like they could burn Azazel’s bones?

G: Oh. Hell yeah. They could. But isn't Azazel a Prince of Hell?

C: Crowley is the king of Hell.

G: No, but like, a Prince of Hell means you're old as fuck.

C: Oh, maybe.

G: Yeah. They were going international.

C: Oh my god, wait! This is so fun! Someone rated this 10 out of 10, said "I'd been waiting for this and didn't know it," and then at the end, they say, "Now can someone tell me if there's one like it for Castiel? That would be worth continuing to watch..." I can't wait for this person to have probably already gone to "Man Who Would Be King."

G: Yeah. Let's give it a like. I'll make it helpful. Oh, no, it's asking me to sign up for an account! [C: You need an account.] Fuck off!

C: Oh my god, this is their only review on IMDb.

G: Oh my god, they reviewed "We Go Together." "We Go Together"? They review- [C: What?] No, sorry. I thought they reviewed Much Ado About Nothing [both laughing], but I'm just looking at my recently viewed.

C: Incredibly funny. My last ones before the last two Supernatural episodes are Crazy Rich Asians, Jimmy O. Yang, and Love Hard. [both laugh]

G: No, yeah. We can see the journey and the destination.

That’s it for this episode of Busty Asian Beauties. Next week, we will be discussing Season 6, Episode 5: "Live Free or Twihard." [C: Hell yeah.] Leave us a rating or a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 262

Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox

Another day, another night I fucked around to much to watch more than one show before going to bed

“Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox”

Plot Description: an assortment of hunters gather to commemorate a fallen brother, but Sam and Dean soon realize that a demon has come to kill them all

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: I don’t know. I don’t even understand when this is supposed to take place. I’m piecing together that it’s before Dean was born but the only thing they did to make Mary look younger is put her hair in braids. I swear there’s a whole other actress who plays young Mary, but….k, so it was about how Mary influenced this kid and he grew up to be a hunter and then died. Yeah. I wouldn’t become a hunter. That is not the life for me

Please let this be a running joke this season. PLEASE let Dean tell EVERYONE “oh, yeah. Just to catch up since the last time we saw each other? I killed Hitler” it WILL hit every time. Omg he’s so proud

(Ok I had to go back a few seconds because I couldn’t believe Sam said what he said to Jody. I’m now gathering that Dean HAS been telling everyone who knows them this so I’m not surprised when) Sam really just aired out his brother’s hentai habits to Jody. Dean’s very grateful that phone rang omg

Ohhhhh, Jody, you LIKED him. You liked Asa

(Weird question, are Cas and Crowley just…hanging around Cleveland still?? Are we gonna hear from them again??)

Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. This guy who’s asking Sam about having been possessed by Lucifer is such obvious “this is the demon who’s here to kill everyone” bait, like it’s TOO obvious. But because this IS supernatural, it actually could be him

And then sometimes…you know, you could be wrong because a hunter just died and that guy was still in the room with everyone else. I did say he was TOO obvious

Oh, Mary’s here now!

Oh…the amount of parental troubles in this house has shot through the roof. Like, on so many fronts. Jody, who’s a bit of a surrogate mom to the boys (even though she’s not that much older than them. Yeah, the actress who plays her is only 9 years older than Jensen) has chastised Dean for not telling her Mary’s back but also is now thinking about if she had the chance to have her husband and son back…at her kind of boyfriend’s wake. Then there’s just the awkwardness between Mary and Dean. Not to mention Mary and Asa’s mom, who’s mad at Mary because she’s the reason Asa didn’t grow up to be an astronaut…but if Mary hadn’t saved him from that werewolf all those years ago, he wouldn’t have grown up at all. It’s not Mary’s fault she left an impression on this kid she saved. She had no idea

Fascinating that they’ll still say w****go but will refer to a First Nations girl as that (this episode takes place in Canada)

Oh, so EVERYBODY’s getting possessed tonight. This demon’s body hopping like there’s no tomorrow. Ah shit, they just killed off the obvious bait guy

Mmmmmmm, not trusting whoever got a hold of the angel blade…this is like watching Clue (1985) but way less funny

The thought to make a large devil’s trap for everyone to stand in is a good TEMPORARY idea, but it’s not a permanent solution unless you all plan to die there

THIS must have been a fun scene for Kim Rhodes. Any time someone gets to play a fun chaotic demon after being a no nonsense character….ooo, I just love that for them. She is just airing EVERYONE’S laundry here.

Wait…Asa’s friend killed him????? (It was an accident, but it’s the coverup that reallyyyyyy sucks about it)

Ohhhhhh nooooooooo, when Billie got Dean back in the house she said he’d owe her one………she meant Maryyyyyyy because Mary’s not supposed to be heeeeeere

Ok, she’s not going yet…but also…she’s not going with Sam and Dean yet either

Okay but Kim Rhodes singing One Way or Another is amazing! 🥰

I just happened to stumble across this and it’s gold.

[escapingrealtiylovinginsanity]

Who do you think on here or AO3 writes each character most accurately (a writer for each one or a writer for multiple) and not out of character: Matt Casey, Kelly Severide, Brian Otis Zvonecek, Greg Gerwitz, Jeff Clarke, Sam Carver, Will Halstead, Ethan Choi, Connor Rhodes, Crockett Marcel, Jay Halstead, Adam Ruzek & Antonio Dawson?

I don't read anything for Chicago Fire so I can't help you there. I don't see much for Jeff Clarke so you can't be picky.

If you are looking for anything in the Chicago Universe (or any fandom they write for) @bullet-prooflove works is always worth reading,

@felicitysmoaksx has really good Sarah Reese/Connor Rhodes & some Jay Halstead/ Kim Burgess stories (which are my favorite Chicago universe couples)

@sheetsonfire is another good one that I am still trying to catch up on. They also have sibling fics (which is not usually my jam but a lot of people love)

These are a few that I remember off the top of my head. I'd have to dig back through to find more. There are a few others that I read too but I wouldn't say those ones really stay in character and some are more crack fics than anything- lighter reads that just make me smile.

As for A03- I don't read any reader inserts or added OCs on there. I go there to find my favorite couple fics-cannon and ships that never sailed.

Jensen Ackles and The Winchesters team promise to carry on Supernatural legacy: 'Trust us'

"It was full pandemic lockdown 2020, Danneel and I with three kids in a house and we're like, uh, we need to do something creative," Ackles, who executive produces The Winchesters, tells EW.

You remember the time: John Krasinski was hosting Some Good News, everyone was baking, and Patti LuPone gave us all a tour of her basement. "Almost every celebrity was doing something ridiculous in their house, and I'm like, well, I don't want to embarrass myself by trying to make a sourdough loaf," says Danneel Ackles, who appeared in later seasons of Supernatural and also serves as an executive producer on The Winchesters.

So instead, Jensen and Danneel decided to start a Supernatural rewatch show: They'd film themselves watching fan-favorite episodes and share their thoughts. And the idea was a hit! After shooting a pilot on their iPhones, the CW wanted to bring the series to broadcast. But when Jensen and Danneel realized that creating 10 episodes in as many weeks wasn't realistic, the idea died about as quickly as a demon during an exorcism.

But that experience had sparked something. "That kick-started Danneel and I workshopping ideas and it also put us in the Supernatural world," Jensen says. "Then we asked: What would be a story that I would want to see outside of the show?"

It's not the first time someone's pondered whether there were more Supernatural stories to tell. Over the course of the series' long run, the show tried more than once to launch a spin-off, first with Bloodlines — which followed monster families in Chicago — and then again with Wayward Sisters — which followed Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes) and Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton) as they led a group of women through the hunting life. Neither idea took off. So, what was left? "If you're going to spin off from this world, it's gotta be about a main character, it's gotta be about a Winchester," Jensen says. "I think it was Danneel who was like, 'Well, it's your mom and dad.'"

With the launch of their new production company, Chaos Machine Productions, in October 2020, Jensen and Danneel called Robbie Thompson to see if he'd be interested in serving as The Winchesters' showrunner. Thompson worked on Supernatural from season 7 to season 11, and penned some fan-favorite episodes, including the 200th episode, "Fan Fiction," and one of Jensen's favorites, "Baby."

"I remember very vividly [executive producers] Bob Singer and Jeremy Carver coming in and saying, 'The 200th episode is going to land this season and we want to do it as a musical in a high school where kids are adapting the Chuck Shurley books,'" Thompson says. "My first reaction was, 'Oh my god that seems so terrifying, I really want to do it.' I had the same kind of reaction when Jensen and Danneel pitched this to me."

Because what could be more terrifying than creating a prequel that doesn't mess with the mythology established by Supernatural, while still giving viewers something that feels new and unexpected? If Sam and Dean thought saving the world was hard, they should try rewriting it.

"A lot of people are like, 'Hang on, are you changing the lore? Is this like Back to the Future, where Dean and Sam are going to start to disappear in the picture?' It's not," Jensen says. "We obviously don't want to change anything that was experienced on what we lovingly call the mothership."

"It's a big ask, but we are asking the fans to go on this journey with us and trust us," Danneel says. "Everybody who's involved in this project loves this show. We have lived this show for 15 years; it's a family member. So just trust us that we're going to take care of it."

Thompson adds, "The Supernatural fandom's extremely passionate, but I consider us part of that. How do we do this but keep Supernatural exactly the way it is? That was the intriguing challenge to me."

For starters, you have to cast the right people. And you have to find them on Zoom. With the help of Supernatural casting director Robert Ulrich — and an estimated more than 30 hours of chemistry reads — they landed on Drake Rodger and Meg Donnelly. Rodger plays a young John Winchester, a bit goofier than fans remember him, just back from Vietnam and about to be introduced to a world where, as Dean once put it — or will later put it? — "Unless it's Godzilla, it's real." Donnelly is a young Mary, someone who's all too familiar with the life of saving people and hunting things. They're characters we know, characters we've seen played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Matt Cohen, by Samantha Smith and Amy Gumenick. But they're also completely different. (For one, I doubt we'll be seeing Mary in a pink nightgown anytime soon.)

"We talked about that contrast a lot. There's the Jeffery Dean Morgan John, who is amazing and complicated and dark, and then there's Matt Cohen's John, who was the kid who was abandoned by his father at four, at least from his point of view, and who went off to Vietnam early," Thompson says. "With Mary, it was who is the kid who, much like her own children, got handed a knife at such a young age and was told that the monster under her bed was not only real but here's how to kill it?Being able to dive into that and stay true to who they are but also show this different slice of their lives and different perspective on them has been a blast."

"She's not very vulnerable," Donnelly says of her Mary. "She doesn't like to show vulnerability, because she's gone through so much, especially as a hunter her whole life. She didn't choose to be in this world, and she's trying to look for ways to get out."

Although Donnelly admits she didn't watch Supernatural when it was on — "It was definitely too scary" — Rodger was a huge fan, and even watched the show with his brother. That's why he wasn't sure he'd want any part of a prequel. "When I came in for the pilot, I was like, 'Okay, cash grab. Let's see what we're doing.' I was so skeptical," Rodger says. "And then once I read the pilot, I realized pretty quickly that there's actually a story to be told here."

Unlike the show that came before it, this isn't a story of two brothers against the world. John and Mary find themselves more consistently working with other hunters. In the pilot, fans are introduced to Carlos (Jojo Fleites) and Latika (Nida Kurshid), friends of Mary who help them on their search. "We are embodying a lot of what Supernatural did, at the same time, Supernatural was a two-hander," Thompson says. "That family expanded as characters like Castiel [Misha Collins] and Bobby [Jim Beaver] and others came in, but we're starting with a larger family. Robert [Ulrich] did an amazing job of putting together some incredibly talented kids who have now all bonded and come together to form their own thing."

Together, they will take on monster after monster. Put another way, they'll take on monsters of the week. "A touch point for us was those early seasons of Supernatural. We will have a big bad for the season but we're going to do some classic monsters of the week," Thompson says, with Danneel adding, "That's the scary stuff. And we're gonna be scary."

For those working on the show, the scary part comes with legacy. Because joining the Supernatural universe isn't just about learning exorcisms and getting used to an endless supply of fan-made Gifs. It's about joining the Supernatural family, one of the most passionate fandoms out there. "There's such a unique relationship between the cast of Supernatural and the audience of Supernatural," Thompson says. "The actors are extremely aware of the legacy that they are stepping into."

And if anyone can help prepare them for that legacy, it's Sam and Dean. At this point, Rodger and Donnelly have had a couple "Welcome to Supernatural" talks over dinner with Jensen and over lunch with his former costar Padalecki, who isn't a producer on the project but has shared his support. "When we were in New York, Jared sat down with Drake and I and was like, 'If you ever need anything, I'm always here for you,'" Donnelly says.

Recalling what he said to the new leads, Jensen says, "There was probably a small pep talk. This isn't just coming on to a new thing, this is something that has 15 years of intense storytelling and you guys are a representative of this thing that we built, of the family. And there's a big population of people that are very protective of the story and of these characters and you are the new stewards of this and you need to understand the weight of that and you need to understand how important it is to treat this with care and respect." He then adds with a laugh, "Because I'm like, listen, I didn't work my ass off for 15 years to have you kids come in here and f--- it up."

(Donnelly admits she's already gone to Jensen for help with picking locks and the more complicated matter of dealing with a height difference between you and your costar. Jensen's an expert in both.)

So, with a support system in place, there's nothing left to do but dive right in. "You can't recreate Supernatural, you just can't," Thompson says. "What we wanted to do with this show was shine a light on new corners of the Supernatural universe."

And they're doing just that. Production is underway in New Orleans as they introduce a new John and Mary, before they created the two men destined to save the world. So, what's their story? That's what Dean wants to know. And if anybody's good at getting answers, we hear it's that guy.

The prequel's first season has 13 episodes to establish what they hope will be the first successful Supernatural spin-off. This time around, there will be less Sam and Dean and therefore, probably less flannel. But there will be monsters. There will be lore. And most importantly, there will be Winchesters.

The Winchesters premieres Tuesday, Oct. 11 on The CW.

March 2014

There was a buzz around set. VanCon was fast approaching, and the recurring stars of Supernatural were descending upon the city. Everyone was invited to the set in anticipation of the weekend’s festivities. Today, everyone was here to plan the Saturday Night Special concert.

Jensen was on cloud nine for another reason; Ava was coming to town for two months before going back to Georgia to begin filming season five of The Walking Dead. Her flight would land any minute now, and he was as giddy as a kid on Christmas Eve.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Misha sighed dreamily as he watched his friend pace excitedly with a lovestruck smile permanently gracing his face.

“What’s beautiful?” Rich asked.

“Watching how excited Jensen is that Ava’s on her way. I love seeing how much they love each other. It’s romantic and pure! They are both insanely good-looking people, and they make a gorgeous couple. Honestly, they’re just too precious for this world!” Misha gushed.

“Both of them are! Jensen and Ava, Jared and Gen. They’re disgustingly beautiful couples,” Rob laughed at the looks of mock contempt being thrown his way by the leading men of Supernatural.

“That’s true!” Briana said with a laugh. “I’m super excited but also stupidly nervous to meet Ava.”

“Why?” Gen asked with chuckle.

“Well, for one, The Walking Dead and American Horror Story are two of my favourite shows. Two: she’s my favourite actor, and three: she’s incredibly talented and an inspiration to me.”

“She’s also probably the most down-to-earth person you’ll ever meet,” Jared said, trying to relax Briana a little. “She’s really friendly and has the most wicked sense of humour. Trust me, you will get along like a house on fire. Don’t be nervous.”

“Who’s nervous?” Jensen asked as he put his phone down after checking the flight arrivals for the millionth time.

“Bri. She’s nervous about meeting your wife for the first time,” Misha chuckled.

“Really?” Jensen said incredulously. “You want the truth? I’m nervous that the two of you are finally meeting. You’ll cause so much trouble, the pair of you!” he laughed heartily, and Briana grinned shyly.

“That’s true!” Gen added. “They’re both right. You guys will get along great, and you’ll probably cause a whole lotta trouble!” 

“You know,” Misha began. “I’m jealous you’ll see Jay and Ava together for the first time! They have a wonderful love full of happiness, laughter, light, and gorgeousness. I know we said earlier that both of you are beautiful couples, and you are, but Jared and Gen’s love is sweet, pukey and makes you wanna gag, in a nice way!” he said as laughter rang through the room. “But Jensen and Ava’s love is unconditional, adorable and delicious,” he laughed as Jensen blushed and shook his head, turning away from the group.

“Yeah, she’s amazing. She makes loving her easy. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been through some shit and tough times, but we came out the other side stronger and closer, which is a miracle as I thought at one point our marriage might be over before it’d barely even begun,” Jensen chuckled.

“Really? What happened, if you don’t mind my asking?” Kim asked, always the Mama Bear.

“Well, I don’t think any relationship is plain sailing, but we hit a rough patch in our first year and a bit of marriage,” Jensen said as he was transported to a time and place that felt like a previous life as he told his friends – no – family, about the worst time in his life.

“It took a long time - over a year of us trying - for Ava to fall pregnant with Maddie, and things were hard between us…”

2010

Having left Supernatural and with season one of The Walking Dead only being six episodes, Ava didn’t have work as a distraction. Her last episode of Supernatural aired on May 13th, and their wedding was just over two weeks later.

From the day they said their vows until the first episode of The Walking Dead aired on Halloween, Ava had been plagued by tabloid and gossip magazine rumours that she’d quit acting to become a dutiful wife, planning to start a family, support her husband’s career and hold his arm on the red carpet like a trophy wife.

Ava tried to ignore it, knowing it wasn’t true. Still, Jensen knew it got to her more than she ever admitted to him because, other than the ten weeks she filmed in Georgia that year, that’s precisely what she’d been doing. Trying so hard to be everything she wasn’t.

On top of that, Thanksgiving at the Broussard home in Boston came full of questions about when they were going to start a family. Of course, they didn’t know that Ava had come off birth control in April, and they’d been actively trying to get pregnant since their wedding night. Jensen had been ready to step in, but all she said was, “It’ll happen when it happens,” and she smiled as big as she could. Only him knowing it was fake.

He knew she was devastated, but all he could do was wrap an arm around her in silent support and comfort. The next day, they had a huge fight when he suggested they tell their families they were trying. Jensen thought it might take the pressure off a bit, let her talk about her feelings with her mom or sisters and him with his family, but in the end, he knew Ava was right. All she’d hear then is, ‘Are you pregnant yet?’ Then everyone would suddenly become fertility experts. Or worse - sex gurus, and they did just fine in that department all on their own.

Christmas came around, and they were getting ready to go to Dallas to spend it with his family. Ava’s period was a few days late, and they decided to do a home test before going to Texas. It was negative. He told her that maybe it was too early for a positive test. After muttering a dejected “maybe,” she shut herself down again, locked herself in their shared office and avoided him for the rest of the day. That night, she crawled onto his lap and asked him to make her forget, and he obliged by fucking her with his fingers. She climaxed twice that way before she rode him hard and deep to a third.

There was no emotion or words of love, lust, or encouragement. No kisses and no touching other than her hands resting on his shoulders and his fingers in her pussy or holding her waist to steady her. It was just sex. Fucking. She didn’t even take her shirt off and shoved her panties to the side. His sweatpants were haphazardly shoved down, and he still had his shirt on too.

She climbed off him and went into the bathroom to shower as soon as he came. It hurt him a little, knowing she was only using him to try and relieve the pent-up tension that was slowly becoming a permanent part of her. Still, he’d be a hypocrite if he said he hadn’t done the same thing to her several times before.

Ava tried to be quiet, but he heard her low moans as she got herself off for a fourth time in the bathroom, and it almost broke him knowing he wasn’t enough for her at that moment. But he let her be, knowing she was taking this much harder than he was.

As he held her in his arms that night, he whispered words of love and comfort into her ear, but she remained still and silent. To add insult to their injuries, her period came the morning they were leaving for Dallas. He woke up when she quietly and softly untangled herself from his embrace to go to the bathroom. His heart dropped when she gave a bitter laugh and said quietly, “You have got to be motherfucking kidding me!”

The next thing he heard broke his heart. Ava started sobbing. He begged her to open the door, and she did. Eventually. After he began to kick it in. He took her in his arms and held her tight. The broken pieces of his heart shattered further when she said it would be like Thanksgiving all over again, and she didn’t know if she could manage everyone asking her when she would get pregnant. Once again, he tried to convince her to tell their families they were trying, but she vehemently said no.

Ava was right. Every member of his family asked Ava over the three days they were in Dallas when she was going to get pregnant. She smiled the smile only he knew was fake and said the exact same words he’d heard her say a hundred times before, and the shattered pieces of his broken heart crumbled even more. Again, all he could do was wrap an arm around her in comfort, letting her know he was right there with her.

Jensen helped his mom with the dishes, and knowing something wasn’t right, she asked him if everything was okay between them. He led her out to the back porch and made her promise not to say a word to anyone - not even his dad. With a long, loud sigh and watery eyes, he told her they’d been trying to get pregnant since the wedding. He told her about Thanksgiving in Boston and the latest negative test two days ago.

His tears fell when he said that for the past two days, everyone kept asking her when she was going to get pregnant. Then, as if they didn’t like her answer, they asked him when he was going to get her pregnant.

Donna tried but failed to hold back her laughter when he said Josh had to hold him back when Cousin Ted asked why he hadn’t ‘manned up and knocked one into that hot piece of ass yet.’ With watery eyes of her own, Donna pulled her son in for a hug and told him everything would be just fine. Fear began to rise in her gut at his response.

“I’m not sure it will, Mom. She’s devastated. And exhausted. We’re both so tired. Sex has become regimented to her cycle. It’s like she can only bear to touch me when it’s her fertile week or she’s trying to relieve stress, and even then, it’s with the least amount of intimacy possible.

“Her heart breaks a little more every month, and I don’t know what to do. After every period, she shuts me out more, and I don’t know how to get her back. Most of her smiles are fake. I can’t even remember the last time I heard a genuine laugh from her, and I don’t know how to comfort her. Nothing I do works, it only seems to make her worse, and she just pushes me away. I love her. So, fucking much, and I feel like I’m losing her.”

“For now, you’re doing everything you can, Jensen. You’re supporting her and comforting her, and she’ll come to you when she’s ready to, sweetie. I know you hate it, you always want to fix everything and make everyone happy, but you know as well as I do that Ava internalises everything and sorts through her thoughts and feelings in her head before she talks about them. Give her some more time. Maybe support and comfort her from a distance for a while. Give her some space but stay close so she knows you’re right beside her. She must be feeling like a fish out of water just now. She’ll come round, and it’ll all work out, son. You’ll see.”

2011

The next few months went by like the ones before. They both felt like they were failures, unable to give the other what they desperately wanted, and Jensen had never seen Ava so lost. She’d always been so sure of herself and what she was doing, and it had culminated in Jensen thinking he would have to fight for her and their marriage.

Instead, Ava left their apartment in Vancouver a month before she needed to and went home to L.A. because she knew they couldn’t go on the way they were. It wasn’t fair on either of them. She knew that all the tension and awkwardness was her fault. She knew having nothing else to focus on was making her crazy. She just needed a little space to ‘get her shit together,’ have a break from trying and find more work as she couldn’t ‘just sit around and look pretty’ for six months of the year. Especially if children weren’t going to be on the cards for them.

It broke Jensen’s heart when Ava said she felt like she was becoming a trophy wife. She told him she loved him and not to worry. She just needed some time and space to find herself again. It didn’t appease him much because when push came to shove, and he put everything she said together, all he heard was that she needed a break from him. And he yelled at her. He yelled at her about everything he was feeling.

He yelled that he felt like he was losing her. He shouted that she’d become so obsessed with getting pregnant that she’d forgotten everything else, including him. He yelled that their lack of intimacy was hurting him deeply, to the point that he referenced himself as her ‘fucktoy.’ How she could barely bring herself to touch him anymore. How she didn’t care for his feelings through all this. Months of buried emotions, frustrations and negative pregnancy tests left him unchecked, and God, did he regret every single one of them.

Ava took every word without a fight. Not even a smart-mouthed, sarcastic comeback. She shocked him when she apologised to him, adding that everything he said was right and that’s why she needed to leave. His heart dropped when she calmly said she wouldn’t blame him if he’d sought comfort and intimacy elsewhere. Maybe that was why he sometimes struggled to get hard for her.

Devastated at the realisation of how deeply his wife had climbed into her depression, he renewed his promise that he never had and never would cheat on her. He explained there was nothing sexy about being told when he could have sex with his wife, and that’s where the issue came from. That, and he was exhausted.

He finally agreed to let her go after she insisted these were all why she had to go home. It wasn’t for her to have a break from him, but for him to have a break from her and for her to have a break from herself. She’d become her worst critic. She couldn’t do anything right anymore. She’d become so obsessed with trying to make a baby that she’d forgotten how to love him, and she didn’t want him to resent her. She needed time to get back on track and put her priorities back in order.

2014

“I didn’t know things got so bad,” Misha said.

“Yeah, it was the worst few months of my life,” Jensen shook his head with a huff. It hurt even just remembering that painful time in their lives.

“Obviously, this has a happy ending because you’re still married and have two kids now, but come on, man! You’re killing us here!” Rob chuckled nervously.

“So, she went home. I didn’t want her to because I had this feeling that if she left, I wouldn’t get her back. But she promised me we’d be fine, and I had no choice but to let her go.”

“Oh, God! What happened after that?” Briana said.

“She flourished again, which wasn’t good for my ego! When I flew home for hiatus, she looked healthy again. She had an L.A. tan, and she’d put on some of the weight she’d lost. She was in therapy and happier, but she was distant with me. She was affectionate with little touches, hugs, and kisses to my lips or cheeks. We talked, but she wouldn’t talk about how she felt, telling me she wasn’t ready yet.

“I don’t say this to brag, but Ava’s a very affectionate and sexual person, and we weren’t intimate. That really worried me because I was still keeping track of her cycle, so I knew when she was ovulating. She told me later that she wasn’t ready to stop trying, but she also didn’t want the heartbreak of getting her period a few weeks later when she’d be alone in Georgia.

“She got a part in American Horror Story, as you know, and only two weeks into my hiatus, she went back to Atlanta. We talked every day, but with the never-ending Con circuit, hiatus quickly ending, and her travelling between Georgia and L.A. to film, I only saw her once every three weeks for a day or two.”

2011

Once Ava went back to Georgia to film season two of The Walking Dead, she’d only seen Jensen a few times before he went back to Vancouver. Conventions for him and filming The Walking Dead and the new pilot show, American Horror Story for her - had gotten in the way of any kind of quality time they could have together.

They still talked daily, often more than once, and Jensen knew she was happier. She was more like her old self again, and he was genuinely happy for her, but it was clouded with dread. Dread that she’d found her happiness again without him in her life. She reassured him that she loved him every time they talked, but his fear of her leaving him outweighed her words of comfort.

Just over two months had passed with things remaining too busy for them to talk or spend time together, and he knew they would be at San Diego ComicCon together. He’d mentioned on a call with her that he had his hotel room sorted. He was pleasantly surprised and extremely relieved when she said she’d tell her people she didn’t need a room. She asked him to tell his people she’d be staying with him and to leave a key at reception for her. He’d arrive on Thursday, and she was coming on Friday morning due to filming commitments.

When she arrived at the convention centre, her assistant checked her in and took her bag to the room so she could go straight to the CW’s green room and find Jensen, who was talking to Jared with his back to her. Jared smiled at her, patted Jensen’s shoulder, and nodded in her direction. He turned around to see his beautiful wife smiling widely and walking his way.

His heart skipped a beat, and his shoulders dropped slightly as he walked towards her. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up, holding her for dear life.

“Hey, handsome,” she whispered in his ear. “I missed you. So much,” she finished as she nuzzled into his neck, inhaling the scent she’d missed more than she could say.

“I missed you too, Princess. You have no idea how worried I’ve been about you. Us,” he said as he set her back down.

Ava looked down at her feet and raised her gaze to his shyly. “Can we talk, uh, before things get too crazy?”

After a long and heartfelt talk where feelings were shared, insecurities were aired, and reassurances were given on both sides. Each apologised for their behaviour, and new promises were made.

Jensen promised he’d never keep his feelings buried to protect her, and Ava promised she wouldn’t shut him out ever again, admitting it had killed her to do it.

Ava had cried when she told him she did it because she thought he didn’t want a baby as badly as she did, now knowing he wanted it just as much as she did but had been hiding his true feelings from her, knowing how hard she already was on herself. Once the air was cleared, they worked the ComicCon panels and photo ops like the pros they were, making sure to give the fans their money’s worth.

Later, after dinner with their respective casts, Ava met Jensen in the bar for drinks and caught up with Jared, Gen and Misha. They left earlier, a little drunker than anyone else, and headed to their room. In a twist of fate that had Jensen confident everything would be okay between them after he checked in yesterday, they were in the same room where they slept together for the first time back at ComicCon 2006.

When it dawned on Ava where they were, she laughed gleefully and kissed him with every fibre of her being, knowing, just like him, that everything would work out just fine.

That night and over the rest of the weekend, their bond and marriage became infallible, unwavering, and unbreakable. All weekend long, they had the best sex either of them had ever had, and she’d been louder than he’d ever heard her. But best of all, Maddie was conceived.

Eight weeks later, Ava travelled up to Vancouver during her birthday weekend, surprising everyone. After a heart-warming greeting with her husband that had everyone swooning, she handed him a gift box in front of Jared and Gen. Jensen looked at her with an adorably confused puppy look.

“Wait a minute, isn’t it your birthday, baby girl?” he said.

Ava giggled happily, causing Jensen to break into a goofy love-struck grin. “Just open it, Jay. Please?”

Nodding his head, he unwrapped the ribbon, and everyone held their breath, not knowing what was going on – except for Gen, who’d caught on and had tears and a broad smile on her face.

Jensen lifted the lid and looked in the box, brow furrowing until realisation hit him that he was staring at a positive pregnancy test and a baby grow that said ‘Hi Daddy’.

His mouth dropped open, tears shining in his eyes as he sobbed, “Really?” 

“Yes,” Ava sobbed back.

“You’re sure?” Jensen checked.

Ava smiled as tears ran down her cheeks, and she nodded.

“I’m…” he stopped, huffing out a loud breath as he tried to control his emotions. “I’m gonna be a daddy?” he asked.

Hands came up to faces in shock, and tears rolled down the cheeks of everyone there.

“Yes, Jensen,” Ava said joyously. “You’re gonna be a daddy!”

Jensen sobbed again and hugged her tightly as he openly cried on her shoulder. “You’re gonna be a momma! And I’m gonna be a daddy! Oh, God, thank you!” They stayed clinging to each other and crying.

Misha walked over, panicked, seeing everyone crying, and asked, “Ava’s here? What’s going on? Is everything okay?”

Jensen pulled away from Ava and turned to him, smiling and wiping his tears. “We’re having a baby!” he said as he kissed her.

2014

“Do you think you’ll have more babies?” Kim asked.

“God, I hope so. Ava’s a great mom and loves my girls more than anything. She loves being pregnant, and honestly, pregnancy and motherhood look good on her. But it’s her body, and she’s raising them on her own for the most part, so it’s up to her.”

“I wouldn’t worry about that too much, Jay. She’d have a football team if she could!” Gen smiled, “and she’d give you anything you asked for, just like you would for her, so if you told her you wanted another baby, she’d give you one,” she finished.

Jensen’s head perked up, and he smiled as he heard his reason for getting up every morning.

“Let’s get this one a little bigger before we talk more babies, huh, handsome?” Ava smiled as she walked into the room, holding Maddie’s hand in hers and Gracie’s car seat in the other. Jensen’s smile grew wider when he heard Maddie shout out to him.

“Daddy!” the two-year-old yelled gleefully, letting go of her mother’s hand and running to her father, making his smile impossibly bigger.

“There’s my girls! Hi sweetheart!” Jensen smiled wide as he bent down and picked up his little girl, who looked exactly like her mother except for her eyes. Those unmistakable green eyes were inherited from him.

No one could help their big smiles at the sweet scene unfolding before them. Maddie was snuggled into Jensen’s chest, her tiny arms struggling to go around his broad shoulders as he walked over to Ava.

He smiled even wider as he glanced into the car seat and saw a sleeping six-week-old Gracie. Careful not to squash Maddie or bump the car seat, he side-hugged his wife and kissed her sweetly.

“How are you, beautiful?” Jensen asked, emotion evident in his voice.

“I’m good, baby. How are you?” Ava beamed at him.

“Better now that all of my favourite ladies are here! I missed you,” he said as he bent down to kiss her again.

She looked stunning. The last time he saw her, she was still swollen from pregnancy and childbirth. Not that he minded. At all. She created, nurtured, grew, and birthed a child. His child. He didn’t care what her body looked like after it had performed that miracle. Hell, he didn’t care if she never got her body back. He’d told her that after she had Maddie. Ava was still the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on.

But as he took in his wife for the first time in three weeks, he noticed that her torso was almost flat again, only holding onto a little postpartum stomach. Her hips were still slightly wider than usual, and her usually generous breasts were bigger and filled with milk. She looked tired but had that new mother glow, and she’d never looked more beautiful in Jensen’s eyes.

“You look great, baby,” he whispered as he shifted Maddie to the side and took the car seat from her.

“Thanks, Jay,” Ava blushed and tiptoed up to kiss him again.

“I told you! They’re too gorgeous and precious for this world!” Misha exclaimed, causing laughter around the room and Ava to look at him like he’d lost his mind.

[anotheronechicagobog]

I love your sister!reader fics! Do you have anymore planned?

I have a few that I've been writing on the backburner, but I don't know when I'll finish or post them. But the ones that I have are;

Atwater!sister - Kevin Atwater's sister who's only a few years younger than him left with their younger siblings for their protection. She ends up moving with Vinessa (Jordan has skipped out and onto Chicago at this point) to North Carolina for work and runs into Peter Mills and starts dating him. They eventually move back to Chicago and Mills re-opens his family's diner and returns to the firehouse, he also finally meets Kevin who isn't all that happy about her sister's choice of romantic partner cause of the whole 'runs into danger' thing, but accepts it when he sees how much Peter loves her.

Choi!sister - this sister is the middle child between Ethan and Emily, and is a firefighter, the first female to ever be on squad. You and Ethan have a strained relationship because he thinks it's too dangerous for you to be a firefighter and one day you get hurt on a call and he shoves it in your face. This causes an argument and you stop speaking to him until Emily convinces you two to talk for the sake of your unborn nephew.

Rhodes!sister - to absolutely no one's surprise, Cornelius Rhodes has a few affair children lying around, you happen to be one of them, and the only one in Chicago. Claire is a dadddy's girl and is devastated and has made it crystal clear that she hates you. Connor on the other hand is much more welcoming, hangs out with you, brings you to family events, defends you from Claire, and assures you that your father was a scumbag and you didn't miss out on anything from him not being present in your life.

Casey!sister - turns out that Nancy Casey was pregnant when she shot her ex-husband and gave birth to you whiloe in prison (you got teased a lot about that). You were in the foster system cause no one wanted to deal with you until Matt was finally able to get guardianship of you when he was 20.

Zidan!sister - OA actually isnt in this one much, just a couple phone calls. Basically, you're going to Chicago for university. OA takes a couple days off to help you move there, and introduces you to Jay Halstead, an old friend from his time in the Rangers, and they tell you that he's a cop and if you ever need help to call him cause he's a lot closer than OA is. You're in your third year, living with your long term boyfriend when he starts cheating on you and turns aggressive. He gets very possessive and controlling, he hasn't hit you but you're scared he's going to. You need help, so you call Jay.

Burgess!sister - When Kim brings Adam home for the first time, you like the rest of your family, love him and are so happy for your sister... Until you check out his facebook and find out he's engaged to someone who is not Kim. You go to tell her, you're so sorry that he's made her the other woman unknowingly, until she reveals that she knows he's engaged, doesn't care, and is waiting for him to dump her. You let the rest of your family know what went down and everyone is disappointed, your family in her, and her in you because you 'don't understand' and 'betrayed her'. Your relationship is strained after this. Throughout all of this, the reader is dating, and then gets engaged to, Sean Roman. You have to see her more often when he moves to the 21st and he becomes her partner, but you're civil for Sean's sake. Everything's fine until Kim breaks off her engagement with Ruzek and you catch her and Sean cheating. "What is it with you and engaged men, Kim?" Very angsty. There isn't really a happy ending.

Upton!sister - Hailey hasn't spoken to her father since she turned 18 and her mother since she was 20. She finds out during a case that she has a younger sister she didn't know about, an 'oops' baby that was born after she cut contact. She figures out pretty quick that your dad is still abusive and her mom is still enabling him, and fights for guardianship of you with Jay's help.

Zvonecek!sister - you move to Chicago a year after Otis dies to work as a medical lawyer, and firehouse 51 basically adopts you, and when the person you're dating (haven't decided who yet) cheats on you, the firefighters and paramedics take the phrase 'hell hath no fury' a little too seriously.

Manning!sister - Helen runs into you while dropping off the cupcakes for Nat's baby shower to Maggie (cause you're a doc, too) and she gives you the stink eye the whole time and is super short with you until she leaves in a huff, while you're nothing but smiles and you're forced to recount to Maggie why Helen hates you so much. Which, in short, is that she showed up to your sister's wedding in a full on wedding gown so you... Took care of it.

Halstead Bros - I might add a sister!reader to this, might not, idk, but basically after Papa Halstead dies Jay is going through his dad's email and tying up loose ends, when he comes accross evidence that his dad had numerous affairs while his mom was still alive, and being the angry mama's boy that he is, Jay figures out who everyone is to try and figure out what to do about the situation (while a little drunk on whiskey and cursing his dad). He is able to figure out that around 40 years ago one of his dad's affairs, with one Nancy Casey, produced a child. So basically it would be a mini series of Jay and Will adjusting to having Matt as their brother, and Matt adjusting to knowing exactly why his dad was killed by his mom and actually having some family. Involves lots of awkward nods, wordless eye converstaions, drinking, and buffering from their significant others.
