On the characterisation of John Winchester:
Why is it he's so often characterised as an abusive, alcoholic father? I think the reunion scene in Shadow tells us at least two things that people seem to have forgotten since his return in Dead Man's Blood: one, that he loves and is protective of his sons, and two, that he is perfectly capable of being physically affectionate with them. Another episode people seem to overlook a lot in their characterisation of John is Home. Dean is obviously very comfortable with his father - comfortable enough to show weakness by crying while leaving the phone message - and John knew enough to come and make sure they were OK when Dean begged him to.
The fact that he didn't show up in Faith is another sore point for me. Nobody seems to remember what Sam's message to John actually said. He said that Dean was sick and the doctors said there was nothing they could do, but not to worry about it because he would do 'whatever it takes' to get Dean better. He also gives no indication that Dean's illness isn't supernatural. Now, okay, John probably should've checked, but by all fan accounts one would think John knew exactly what had happened to Dean and have come running to his deathbed.
Granted, I haven't seen Salvation or Devil's Trap yet, but I've read most of John's lines from the episodes. I'm not saying John is a perfect person or a perfect father but for fuck's sake, he isn't THAT bad. There is NO indication that he would ever abuse his sons.
Anyway.
I'm sick and it sucks.
ETA: THERE IS NO HENCE WHY. Hence means "for this reason" or "therefore." Which is like saying 'which is why.' Saying 'hence why' is like saying 'ATM machine.'
YOUR AND YOU'RE ARE DIFFERENT. Stop using the interchangably!
AUGH.
I need to just stop reading fanfiction, don't I?
I LOVE THIS THREAD. People bitching about their grammar pet peeves. Hell yes.
