Every time I remember that Missouri Moseley was slated to have Bobby’s role in the show but they changed it at the eleventh hour and came up with that white arsehole last minute to replace her I just. Ohhhh my godddddddddd. I mean Loretta Devine was busy to be fair, and I’m glad she didn’t have to waste her immense talent on this shit racist show more than she had to and like christ knows what these writers would have done with a central Black woman character long term (by which I mean we literally do know exactly what these writers would have done with a central Black woman character long term. I mean look what they already did just to Missouri in only two episodes). But in a perfect world…… god the Missourinatural universe. Missouri facing Azazel at the Devil’s Gate. Missouri alongside Cas at Stull. Missouri getting to interact with more characters—Ellen, Jo, Tamara. Missouri and RUFUS with all that entails. Missouri and CROWLEY with just the most unparalleled frenemy energy possibly ever. Missouri living well after s7 as she did in canon but getting to meet characters like Kevin, Linda, Rowena, Billie, and Eileen, and reunite with Mary. Missouri as a wheelchair user with a hundred times less ableism. A psychic in the main cast rotation. Mentions or appearances of a younger Patience well before s13 perhaps. Just.. Missouri getting to be a developed and integrated character within the larger plot. And not a woefully underutilised character written into deeply racist stereotypes who finally gets brought back after over a decade only to immediately be killed off. Like to be extremely clear this Missouri would NOT be playing cheerleader or god forbid caretaker/mother figure to a pair of grown white men in ANY capacity for what I should hope are very obvious reasons, that dynamic would have to be different compared to how it was with Bobby full stop but otherwise. I really cannot stress the sheer potential of the Missouri instead of Bobby cinematic universe enough. Missouri but she remains part of the story and has room to breathe while doing so. I would like to see it.

#Missouri Moseley #My posts #But yea this is less me saying I wish this had literally happened and more that it’s something we should get into as a carefully crafted au #Unfortunately I literally do not trust the majority of this terminally white fandom to be able to be even remotely normal about this concept #I very strongly dislike Bobby though so the idea that we could have had Missouri instead of him just fuckin haunts me #Like. If it had been GOOD and well written. Which it wouldn’t have been but god in my mind’s eye……….#That gif of the flight attendant(?) with really thick lipstick or whatever plucking the piece of paper out of someones’s hand like Thank You #That’s me plucking “It was going to be Missouri instead of Bobby” right out of Eric’s unworthy hands #Like I’ll take that and I’ll do it properly thanks!#Anyway imagine if people had the same energy for fixing spn’s racism as they do for woobifying the absolute fucking shite out of Dean #Lol..
