I dunno man I just feel like if you're writing Dean as being a good dad to Jack but writing John like he just spent all his time drop-kicking his kids who hate him for it then maybe you are. Mmm. I don't wanna say doing it wrong because that's not what I'm going for but like. I'm just saying there are parallels. That's all I'm saying. And if John isn't worthy of a pass then neither is Dean.

#i'm just saying if you're a dean winchester apologist maybe you shouldn't be so quick to write off john #(the fic i like best are the ones where dean knows he fucked up and tries to make it right and the parallels are drawn and clear #even better are the fic where dean does have complicated and nuanced feelings about john but almost nobody wants to write those #to paraphrase sunny people tend to write john like he was dropkicking his kids right out of the womb #and it's very frustrating because both dean and john were bad dads because of their trauma but dean's trauma gets him a pass #but citing john's trauma is treated as making excuses #anyway john and dean have something very important in common which is treating their kids like shit because mary died #not to mention the entire widower arc with cas and how much of a piece of shit dean was to jack for no reason)
