Join Me In Death (HIM)

[fandom-hoarder]

The thing about the Dean/Bela parallel---and that juxtaposed to Henriksen's bad touch remark---is that things don't have to be one-to-one to make a comparison.

Dean didn't sell his soul to kill his father, and he didn't want his father to die. Does that fact preclude the possibility of John sexually grooming and abusing him? No, but there's also nothing in the text that explicitly says he did. And it's all well and good if people want to meta-read their relationship that way, but that doesn't make it canon. And, to me, it's as unnecessary to the text about DeanJohn as an extremely physically abusive and alcoholic John is.

John is abusive, textually, in neglecting Sam, in putting too much on Dean, in treating his children like soldiers, evidence of verbal and emotional abuse, etc. Similarly, John is, TEXTUALLY, emotionally incestuous with Dean---he's parentified him by giving him too much responsibility with Sam, and he's spouseified him by allowing Dean to comfort him emotionally when John should've been doing that for HIM.

Somewhere between both of those is the fact he seems to regularly use Dean as bait, as if Dean's body is his to exploit.

Like, to me, an assumption or insistence of canon sexual grooming and abuse from John is so unnuanced it gives me the same reaction as someone insisting John regularly beat Sam and Dean bloody and broken, rather than the monsters doing that because he allowed them to be in that position.

Like, in fic, ok sure. Go wild. But you tell me it's canon? Boring. It's like v's sentiment about qpr Sam and Dean NOT fucking actually making it weirder. Spousifying and parentifying is super fucked up, without the very obvious act of sex blatantly there to point at and condemn as obvious abuse.

John did groom his sons, and he did fuck them up. Just not that way.
