#an unsuspecting miriam invites them all together for pesach

[tootiredforaname]

I do not mind you going into it so much at ALL I love it. Its a shame the series doesn't get as much attention because it's genuinely great writing, and very unique for supernatural fic. An atheist pastor could've been an interesting choice but a rabbi makes far more sense, and I'm glad you chose that route for what we got

(Also, are her and her wife looking for a third?? Because holy smokes <3)

I read May His Memory Be A Blessing months ago and commented then, but I'm still thinking about rabbi Miriam and what a brilliant character she is. Especially in her POV, just seeing her thought process is so interesting. She's so full of wonder and love, exactly the kind of person I'd expect to be a rabbi. No real point to this just saying thanks for this woman I think about now and then

Awe, thank you so much! Because May His Mem Be a Bless was one of the first fics I published, it's sad, and it's Jewish, it hasn't gotten at much attention as some of my other fics. It's the one I feel to be the most artistic though, haha. So, anyway, I really appreciate comments and messages like these!

I'm glad you like the character of Rabbi Miriam! The whole idea for the fic was born because I thought it'd be interesting for Dean to express his genuine, personal anger with God to an atheist, who is a religious leader. My original thought was to make him be in a church alone, just sobbing/screaming at the idols, and a pastor's like, "You good?" Then I remembered I don't really know what church or pastors are like, lmao. And, the concept of an atheist rabbi made more sense to me than an atheist pastor. From there, I just tried to make her loving, quirky, bold, passionate, wise, and helpful.

Some more Rabbi Miriam tidbits that (for now) only exist in my brain:

She plays the fiddle

Her wife is a fat Black Jewish woman who's a mechanic and owns/runs her own garage. They met at community college when they both went back to school to take a class for fun

Their son Dudi's adopted, trans, bi. DOES TRY to hit on Dean when they first meet, but then Miriam's like, "Young man WHAT are you doing? This is my friend the widower with the recently revived husband I've been telling you about." "Oh SHIT, sorry y'all. Hey Dean, good to finally meet you!"

She drinks a lot of Manischewitz which Dean clowns on her for cuz "Rebbe it's WINE. If you're going to drink, have a real drink, like beer" "Dean that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard" "And it's so sweet! You'll be pissing corn syrup!" "What I piss is none of your business"

She has a sister. That sister has a husband and 2 kids. Dean dated one of them in high school. Yes, Lenny Cortez. Neither Dean nor Rabbi Miriam have realized this connection yet

She and Sam aren't as tight as her and Dean, but they do love to hang out and talk about literature

Her and her wife both grew up with Yiddish speaking grandparents but they didn't retain much. When they got together they decided to relearn Yiddish together. Their son's a native speaker

She did a lot of peyote back in the day

Her and her wife have EXTENSIVE record and book collections. Just walls of them
