kripke has a child abuse pattern in his series?

Just came to the realisation that theres a pattern to kripke's creations - a common thread through all his works,

Supernatural:

The Boys:

and now Gen V:

And it seems to be pretty dark -

Seems about child sexual abuse or child abuse in general by family members and siblings somehow feeling guilty coz they couldnt protect em or save em n that abused kid is left to face things all alone ? - like thats the most common thread/the most common go-to "heart" of most of those stories n thecrage from it....amongst the craziness and over the top gore n sex n just plain weirdness that seems to be exponentially increasing the more he's given free reign?....

Is there something you're trying to tell us, kripke? - might be easier to call a helpline?... i dont know... just struck me how this thread runs through all his series so far, is all...am i dreaming it? ...

Climbing in Istanbul

I visited Istanbul for the first time right after Christmas and already have made another trip over Eid. It's easy to see why everyone who visits is instantly captivated. It feels like a piece of home no matter where you come from. But where to climb when you visit?

There are three climbing gyms in the city: one on the European side and two on the Asian side. As a plus, there's a beautiful national park less than an hour outside the city on the Asia side where you can sport climb with amazing views. It's worth a visit even for a non-climber.

On the European Side

Boulderhane - Bouldering only

I actually visited this gym during my first trip thanks to my friend who's been a few times before. My climbing guide during my second trip recommended it as his prefered place to climb in all of Istanbul.

The gym consists of several boulder walls, a spray wall, a moonboard, and a small weight area. They have bathrooms, lockers, and sell chalk and shoes behind the counter as well as rentals.

Their routesetting was interesting and they update it regularly.

If you choose to go, know that the entrance is unassuming and a bit sketchy. From the street, you'll enter a side door and go up a couple of flights of stairs with minimal sinage before arriving at the gym on an upper floor.

On the Asian Side

2. Boulder Istanbul - Bouldering only

During my second trip, we stayed on the Aisian side only a block away from this gym. It's smaller than Boulderhane, but they make excellent use of the space.

Downstairs there are toilets/changing rooms and a shower if you'd like it, but generally I wouldn't recommend it.

Upstairs they have a small area for stretching, fingerboarding, and warming up. It's enough space for two friends to occupy at the same time.

Personally, I enjoyed their spray wall and found their routesetting to make good use of the space, often having lots of traversing involved.

3. DuvarX - Bouldering and Top Rope

I haven't had a chance to visit this gym as it's a bit farther out of the city, but it's the only gym in Istanbul to offer top rope climbing, so it could be worth checking out.

4. Ballıkayalar Tabiat Parkı - Outdoor Lead Climbing

Located in a beautiful nature researve, this crag has 141 routes of varying difficulty. Check out its page on theCrag. You can rent a car and drive or it's worth hiring a guide to take you if you're not interested in taking all your gear with you when you travel.

Once you park, follow the path and cross the stream, then it's a quick hike directly up the hillside. We visited in spring, so it was a little overgrown, but not too bad. The first section of about 4 routes will be there immediately when you finish the hike up.

It was already hot in April when we visited, so I recommend going early in the morning as there's not much shade on the crag.

“Just then, Grandfather came out. He was angry, because Peter had gone into the meadow. It’s a dangerous place; if a wolf should come out of the forest, then what would you do? But, Peter paid no attention to his grandfather’s words. Boys like Peter aren't afraid of wolves.” —Sergei Prokofiev, Peter and The Wolf (1936) #peterandthewolf #meadow #sunset #plettitsafeeling #childrensstory #storytime #thecrags #brackenburn #gardenroute #southafrica #TravelChatSA #orchestra #arrangement #instrumental #classical #SergeiProkofiev (at Brackenburn Private Nature Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTsZkugiXj/?igshid=qr5h8s2d1803

1/4 Day six of our Great Ocean Road adventure (Late Post). On the return journey from Portland we visited the Crags. From the viewpoint you get a panoramic view of the coast and over the weathered limestone outcrops and ledges. The WWII war memorial at the beginning of the track is for a flightcrew who did not survive a nearby ditching. The crags and memorial are only a 10 minute drive from Port Fairy. It is a worthwhile stop if you have the time. #thecrags #warmemorial #memorial #melbourne #greatoceanroad #australia #victoria #travel #travelideas #travelling #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelgram #wonderlust #mysliceofadventure (at Crags Scenic View) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZLyzsOPQ-s/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last stop of the day my favorite, even though they were preparing for their staff Christmas party they allowed us in for a tasting, wonderful bubbly and a crisp delightful Sauvignon Blanc. Promptly bought both will definitely be back. Thank you @lodestonewine for making our quick visit memorable #memories #december2017 #wynvliegvliegbydiesee #wowsouthafrica #wynvlieg #wynbydiesee #sauvignonblanc #rainydays #thecrags (at Lodestone Wine and Olives)
