#and that's Kripke

[theboyskisser]

I think the fact they made BILLY BUTCHER and QUEEN MAEVE have vanilla missionary really shows Kripke's bias against sexuality and kink, I'm sorry.

They're "good guys" so they don't do "degenerate sex" but we all know neither one of them does missionary unless they accidentally fell into that position while fucking their partners half to death.

the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it

Me if I had a dime for every time I got down bad for a middle-aged alcoholic man who had an abusive father and younger brother who died whose death they blamed themselves for and then later in life met a supernatural kid whose father was a blonde sociopath who killed their loved one but they had to take in I'd have two dimes.

I'd have two dimes which isn't a lot- but weird that it happened twice.

I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.

i am obsessed with ruby supernatural as being one of the most unwaveringly devout characters on the show. so many angels and demons act in their own self-interest, disillusioned by god or lucifer or archangels or the entire structure of the afterlife. fine. but RUBY?!? a human. a witch. sells her soul. dedicates her life to lucifer. in death she is tortured and molded and shaped into a demon. and yet she still worships. she is recruited into the ultimate satanic plan, cast as the delilah of the apocalypse. she spends multiple years publicly siding with the beloathed winchesters, being seen as a traitor to her kind. being hunted. being tortured repeatedly at the hands of her brethren for treason. painstakingly slowly seducing sam, convincing sam. luring sam to enact the plan. she lets sam drink her blood. so much blood. she is the sacrificial lamb. she is the best of those sons of bitches. all to be killed. and she knows this. she has to have known this. and she doesn't care. she's done it, the holy work. incredible character.

you see, we're the ones you should be afraid of.

this is so funny. only man on earth with fans that actively want him to cancel a show.

"passionate ally sam" do NOT piss me off. sam is more obviously queercoded than dean and he has been SINCE THE BEGINNING! coding also becomes straight up text when his crossroads demon is a MAN! GET REAL!!
