Of the 8th Doctor companions, who would have the largest number upon entering the Infinity Train? Why do I feel like the answer is Fitz?
Look me in the eye. Look me in the eye, and tell me that Fitz "intergalactic loser of mystery" Kreiner would have a higher number upon entering the Train than the alien mass murderer raised in a death cult
Sidenote: over there we have someone who couldn't deal with the death of a loved one and who tried to clone him, except the clone isn't a perfect copy. Weird how that keeps happening, uh
(so yeah, imho, if we're talking about post-Interference Fitz, his number is like Hazel's number and it doesn't work)

Youve said in the past you don't think Dean would do well with AA. Could you expand on what you mean by that?
well. the first problem with AA is that it has an all or nothing approach. either you're fully sober or you've gone off the deep end. and that's not realistic or helpful for everybody. i don't think dean needs full sobriety to be okay. what he needs is to not fall back on alcohol as a coping mechanism when he's deep in the pits of despair. the AA program doesn't allow for that kind of nuance.
equally important is the fact that AA is geared towards a very specific type of person: a cishet, white, man who isn't living in the world of a fantasy genre show. have you ever looked at the twelve steps? i'm assuming the average person hasn't, or if they have, their eyes just sort of glaze over when reading them because they're vague and repetitive and sound like nonsense. but what they essentially boil down to is this:
accepting a higher power (aka god) and handing over control to them
admitting every awful thing you believe about yourself and accepting that those things are the truth
admitting that you are the architect of all of your problems
admitting that you are the one who has done harm to the world and those around you (and no harm done to you is an excuse for anything ever)
making yourself as vulnerable as possible
this sounds like a cheat sheet for exacerbating every problem dean winchester has. this is a person who has been fighting for control his entire life, who already hates himself and thinks he's to blame for things that he couldn't possibly be responsible for, etc.
these steps make my skin crawl and i've never been singled out by god or his army. there's just no way dean winchester sits through a single meeting and comes out better for it.
