#Jimmy Novak

[locke-esque-monster]

Anyone else notice Ed Colman, the trickster's assumed/fake identity in "Mystery Spot" has a lot in common with Jimmy Novak's backstory?

Namely: a guy who sells ad space and has a wife named Amelia. He even wears a long tan-ish jacket that looks a little like Cas's trench coat in style, if not the exact color (and if it had a faint pattern).

So either someone on the writing staff pulled this from real life, and happened to use it twice. Or "selling ad space with a wife named Amelia" is the writers' go-to for the most generic normality they can think of.

THE COMPLETE LACK OF ANY SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN JIMMY NOVAK AND DEAN IS SO FUNNY

do you think when jimmy said yes to cas he thought it would mean being in a homoerotic friendship with gods favorite chew toy for over a decade

i think claire and cas’s relationship is one of the absolute hardest things to translate plausibly into a modern/mundane au because of how tightly it’s tied to the specific mechanics and ethics of angel vessels.

like. at a bare minimum cas needs to 1) be at least indirectly at fault for her dad’s death + her life getting torpedoed and 2) look basically exactly like her dad but also be a stranger to her.

and the more you dig in the more complicated it gets! like okay, you can maybe solve the look alike problem by making jimmy and cas siblings or even twins. but also cas’s family generally needs to be the heaven analogue because that’s so critical to everything about his backstory and personality meanwhile jimmy needs to be Just Some Guy. and making them brothers makes jimmy suddenly an at least theoretically very significant person to cas, when part of the point is that he wasn’t someone cas cared or thought about until far too late, and so neither was claire.

and you have to somehow pull all this off without character assassinating either of them or throwing off the tone of your story. and none of that even touches on the time he briefly possessed her. it’s such a mess! but if you’re writing claire you kinda do need to come up with something because that backstory is all so critical to her character.
