I don’t know where I am. I just know I’m running. Sometimes it’s like I’ve lived a thousand lives in a thousand places. I’m born. I live. I die. And always there’s the doctor. Always, I’m running to save the doctor again, and again, and again. And he hardly ever hears me, but I’ve always been there. Right from the very beginning. Right from the day he started running. Run you clever boy, and remember me.

There is literally no Doctor Who on my dash right now I am really disappointed in you guys.

bittermeggirl:

how Missouri was originally supposed to have Bobby’s storyline

how Anna was supposed to have Castiel’s storyline

how big of a role Jo, Ellen, and the Roadhouse had back in S2—Sam and Dean spoke to them way more than Bobby that season—but Kripke decided he hated the Roadhouse and burned it down for some nonsensical reason

how Ellen and Jo came back just in time to die fighting Lucifer, and how Castiel and Bobby were brought back when they died doing the same thing, but Ellen and Jo weren’t

how Castiel and Ruby had parallel storylines once, and he’s brought back to life time and time again to redeem himself from all his near world-ending mistakes that he made with the best intentions, but she wasn’t given one chance to do the same

how Bela knew even less than Dean when she made her demon deal, didn’t have a Sam to her Dean, had the people who were supposed to take care of her hurt her, had absolutely no one to rely on other than herself, certainly didn’t deserve to go to hell, was an interesting character who paralleled Dean’s own journey in S3 and could have done so much if they brought her back … but they never did

how Dean was ultimately right for killing Amy (and emotionally manipulating Sam into agreeing with his decision to do so), but he was also right for befriending Benny and Benny got to be the only good monster because Dean’s always right and Dean said so

(also how the only thing Benny did to define himself as a character outside of Dean was to kill Andrea for going through the same painful journey with blood addiction that Benny himself did and not living up to the perfect ideal that Benny built in his head)

how they could have brought back Lenore if they wanted to explore this journey, but nope she was only in 2 episodes and in the second she was brought back to be unceremoniously killed off about a minute after she arrived

how Lilith had to die to make way for Lucifer—the real big bad

how Eve had to die to make way for Crowley/Castiel/Raphael who the fuck ever

how Raphael—once he had a female vessel—was painted as a one-dimensional villain and killed off to make way for Godstiel

how Naomi was killed to make way for Metatron

how many women in general who have died for the sole purpose of fueling the cishet while male protagonists’ man pain

And I get really mad.

Life is sure good if you’re a white dude.

Don’t forget: How Meg was redeemed through her own choices and was killed off while Crowley had redemption forced upon him and, as far as we know, gets to live and maybe even be a good guy.

Jesus fucking Christ this again

the fact that bobby was chosen HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH “MALE PRIVILEGE” OR ANYTHING. the show is about two brothers with daddy issues. it was sensible to have a father figure enter their lives and be a huge part of it.

i dont see how sex matters here. i love misha and think that it’s great that they decided on him being the regular. besides, the actor who played anna did an amazing job and i think her role was perfect.

EVERYBODY WAS KILLED BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS ON SUPERNATURAL. don’t try and twist it to fit your views. demons caught wind of the info ash got. so they burned down the roadhouse. and jo and ellen actually survived, so?

BECAUSE OF THE WRITER’S GUILD STRIKE COMPLICATIONS WERE MADE AND BOTH ACTORS WERE UNABLE TO RETURN TO THE SHOW. jo and ellen got a GREAT response from fans of the show, and in the show, they have ellen getting PISSED at dean and sam for not contacting her, to make up for the plot loss during those two seasons. and it’s noted that they have been off hunting on their own, among the other hunters. you don’t see every other hunter getting a mention. they tried fixing the plot as best as they could. not their fault.

RUBY WAS TRYING TO RAISE THE END OF THE WORLD BECAUSE SHE WANTED LUCIFER TO KILL EVERYBODY AND CASTIEL HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING ALWAYS your argument is completely invalid.

bela made her choices, and SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE FUCKING WINCHESTERS BUT DIDNT BECAUSE THAT WAS HER CHARACTER. she was a deceitful person, and did not trust others due to her childhood. and her tragic backstory doesn’t make up for all the terrible things she did after the fact. DEAN ACTUALLY GETS ANGRY BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE TRIED TO SAVE HER IF HE HAD KNOWN. if anything, her death made the viewers think, and if that isn’t great character use, i don’t know what is.

Dean is unfair and doesn’t understand. That’s his character. It has nothing to do with anything. That’s just who he is, and his character is thankfully still growing, and he is becoming not only a better brother, but a better person

Benny’s story was a tragedy and I loved it. There is nothing wrong with it, even if you didn’t enjoy it. The purpose of the death was for Benny to see that he himself is really no different, and he literally agrees with that realization and allows dean to KILL HIM

i was very upset over the death of lenore, and was angry at castiel for it. but that’s just the writer’s getting REACTION from us. the same with bobby dying. he was BY FAR one of the most beloved characters, but they didn’t bring him back, and only did it because of INCREDIBLE fan demand

IM SORRY BUT ??? lilith was a great INVOLVED villian, and the fact that she needed to be killed to make way for lucifer means nothing against her for being a female character. if it was alastair who had to be sacrificed, i’m sure there wouldn’t even be a complaint. it started with lilith, it had to end with lilith. that’s it (and no, the writers didn’t choose a female to be killed. lilith is a biblical character and they followed it from there)

EVE WAS ONE OF THE BEST VILLIANS EVER. and NEARLY EVERYBODY is killed to make way for crowley. hell, he planned on the boys getting rid of lucifer TO MAKE WAY FOR HIMSELF.

RAPHAEL WAS ALWAYS PAINTED AS A ONE SIDED VILLIAN. submit or die. at least naomi gave castiel the chance to join her, and even tried to reason and show her true colors.

jesusfuckingchrist do you think the writers just wake up and decide HEY LET’S MAKE WOMEN SEEM UNIMPORTANT ON THE SHOW

CROWLEY WAS CHOSEN FOR REDEMPTION BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY ONE AVAILABLE TO SAVE. and meg was only forgiven because she was useful. let’s not forget she’s the reason jo and ellen died? sam and dean have a reason to hate her, and only have a soft spot with her because of castiel, and her usefulness

AND DONT SAY HOW THEY CREATED A FEMALE CHARACTER TO BE USED AND KILLED BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST THATS THE THING ABOUT THE WINCHESTERS THEY USE PEOPLE AND THEN THOSE PEOPLE DIE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER YOU ARE A MALE OR FEMALE

May I add that I love this show, because of it’s support to basically everybody? Straights Gays Whites Blacks Males Females Trans Bullies Nerds Angels Demons and God knows what else. The team behind Supernatural is amazing, and entirely wonderful.

Aaaaaand we have a winner.

Congratulations on watching a show where all the women are killed to make way for the men and coming to the conclusion that it’s not sexist and getting mad at someone for saying it is.

You win an award for being a sexist, misogynistic, narrow-minded piece of shit.

I am actually laughing at the part where you say the show supports people because it literally gives no support or validation to anyone who isn’t a cishet white dude.

I’m not even going to bother to refute this reply because you are literally to stupid to argue with.

Yo bro, I’m gonna have to ask you to take several fucking seats

ACTUALLY!!!!! The fact that the series centers on the father as being the ‘higher power’ in which the (mainly male) characters must break away from in order to attain their own individuality while heavily constraining mothers to an extremely idealized and romanticized view of motherhood is pretty sexist in itself! It has everything to do with male privilege, because it identifies men and their stories as more important than women and their stories! The fact that men (and their fathers) are viewed as individual characters with their own stories to tell, while women are constantly limited in roles in which they only exist to help tell those stories IS MALE PRIVILEGE. Are you fucking serious, are you saying that Missouri wouldn’t have been a ‘good choice’ because she was a (black) woman? Congratulations, you just proved OP’s fucking point, you sexist prick. Missouri’s potential relationship with Sam and Dean, and her potential to become a huge part of their lives would have been every bit as valid as Bobby’s relationship and role holy fucking shit.

Sex matters here because this is about the third or fourth time in which a female character gets written out because of “fan reaction” (though I’m pretty sure the writers’ internalized misogyny played just as big of a role). Sex matters here because Anna was probably one of few women characters who was handed a story arc that she could call her own, one of the few times in which the love interest was not completely limited by her role of ‘the love interest’, and to be honest, one of the few times we were seeing a female character starting to complete her own version of the “hero’s journey”. Here’s the deal- the fact that she, one of the strongest female characters they had to date, not only had her storyline given over to a male ~fan favorite~ but also experienced probably one of the most horrible character deconstruction and vilification I’ve ever seen in under ONE episode (not to mention the shitty death) speaks volumes about how the series treats their women. They’re not useful anymore, we don’t know what to do with them anymore, let’s kill them off! Anna’s death was unnecessary. Anna’s existence being continually erased from the show is unnecessary. It wasn’t even like Missouri or Ruby 1.0, where the actress was either unavailable or above their budget, because how many times has Julie expressed her desire to come back? Countless. They completely destroyed her character for nothing. Except for maybe making sure that they completely erase her legacy and retcon her relationship with the Winchesters in order that it fits with Cas instead. (Aside: Cas getting Anna’s original storyline didn’t mean she had to die, there are probably a billion ways the show could have incorporated her back in [ie making her completely human again, making her a depowered angel on the run, exploring the sibling dynamic between her and Castiel, etc.]. There’s simply no excuse with how shitty her character and legacy is treated both in the show and in fandom)

DING DONG U ARE WRONG~~ Ellen got a rather positive reception from fans, but Jo was received rather negatively in contrast, can anyone tell me why? Oh yes that’s right! Because she was the ~bad love interest~. In fact, part of the apparent reason Jo was written out was because of fan reaction (and also because Kripke hated the Roadhouse for some strange reason, which he actually admits to in the s2 DVD). Though you are right, both Ellen and Jo were unable to return partly due to the Strike, the fact that both characters were going to be ignored for the majority of s3, and that the writers replaced the Roadhouse’s function with Bobby is kind of questionable, don’t you think? Like Ellen herself played a pivotal role in Azazel’s death, you’d think she would show up in the s3 premiere? Or at least be mentioned? The Roadhouse was supposed to serve as a homebase for the boys, and the Harvelles were supposed to be a sort of surrogate family alongside of Bobby, meaning both the Harvelles and Bobby could have coexisted quite well in the SPN universe. But instead, Harvelles were written out because fans didn’t like one half of them and because Kripke apparently didn’t like the boys having a homebase (which they actually made Bobby’s house into the very next season wow). So the Harvelles were effectively erased from Supernatural, as all female characters are when they lose their ‘usefulness’. But then they come back in season 5 for two episodes. One to reintroduce them to the show, the other to provide canon fodder for Sam and Dean’s manpain. This isn’t to say they didn’t get great deaths- this is to say they got premature deaths, and ones that were there to primarily move along the Winchesters’ stories. And hey! Cas and Bobby both died too, but why is it that they got to come back, and the Harvelles stayed dead hmm? Why is it that whenever they bring a character back from the dead, or let them finish a story arc, it’s always a white man? Because the narrative provides white males with that kind of privilege that’s why :))))

RUBY WAS TRYING TO RAISE LUCIFER BECAUSE HE WAS HER VERSION OF JESUS AND IN HER MIND IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. CASTIEL TRIED TO BECOME GOD AND KILLED MILLIONS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Both were/are presented as characters capable of jumping around the morality line like bunnies. Both were presented as characters with ambiguous intentions and goals. Both were ultimately in the wrong at least once, both were effectively punished by the narrative because they were in the wrong, but guess who has gotten chance after chance of redemption? Hint: not Ruby!!!

Bela made her choice when she was an abused, scared little girl with nothing to lose and absolutely no fucking idea of what she was getting herself into. Why the hell would she tell the Winchesters about her past? Why the hell would she trust the Winchesters in that area? Because they were ‘the good guys’? Do you know who else were supposed to be the ‘good guys’ in her life? Her parents. Do you know who else Bela trusted in order to get away from a horrible situation? The crossroad demon. Bela had absolutely no reason to trust a couple of men who killed things for a living and whom she barely knew. And you’re right, she didn’t trust others, and you’re right, she was a deceitful person. Guess who also are deceitful people who don’t trust others? The Winchesters!!!! But they, at the very least, had each other to rely on. Bela had no one. Also!! The fact that her character death was basically used primarily to raise the stakes for Dean’s upcoming descent to hell is actually kind of a shitty use for a character! Why is it that Dean was given a second chance and Bela wasn’t? Is it possibly because the writers decided her character had fulfilled her ‘usefulness’ for a male character’s story? Probably!

Hey bro, I loved Benny, and I loved the majority of his story arc, but his story in Blood Brothers effectively fridged Andrea twice. First as an idealized past lover and the center of his revenge (wow very original writers! /sarcasm), and once she proved to be a flawed person with her own struggles, she was killed off for his manpain as well. “The purpose of the death was for Benny to see that he himself is really no different” yeah that’s sort of the problem??? That Andrea’s death was there to ultimately serve as a way to further Benny’s character development? That he effectively vilified her for experiencing the same sort of struggle that he was? Hello sexism!

Lenore was killed for no fucking reason, like she was just there to provide useful information, and then died. She literally died once she lost her usefulness. Are we seeing a pattern here yet or????

Hahaha the fact that female and/or female bodied Big Bads are continually killed off in order to present the male ‘Bigger Bad’ is pretty shitty and sexist why the fuck are you trying to defend it

You’re right, Eve was probably one of the best villains introduced. She was also probably the most wasted potential I’ve ever seen, like she’s supposed to be the Mother of All, goddess of monsters, and she died within two or three appearances. So far you’re just proving all of OP’s points.

“Raphael was always painted as a one-sided villain”, actually he was shown to be a bit more ambiguous in his s5 appearance, but in s6 he was portrayed as the ‘bad black man’. The fact that he is only one of less than a dozen recurring POC characters the show has ever had and is in fact part of SPN’s tradition of making a good half of those POC characters ‘bad guys’ just points out SPN’s problematic handling of race, thanks for pointing that out!

After the whole “God is sexist, but fair” comment in the finale (and lol God never actually means God in SPN, it almost always refers to TPTB, that’s been a recurring tradition since s4), I don’t think that’s so farfetched of an idea. Though on the offhand that they don’t, I will say that they do suffer from some pretty horrid internalized misogyny. Doesn’t really help that almost all the writers on the show are white men!

“CROWLEY WAS CHOSEN FOR REDEMPTION BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY ONE AVAILABLE TO SAVE. and meg was only forgiven because she was useful. let’s not forget she’s the reason jo and ellen died? sam and dean have a reason to hate her, and only have a soft spot with her because of castiel, and her usefulness” ………..Holy shit bro, you just basically proved OP’s entire point, I don’t think your comment leaves much for me to say??? Except, congratulations on your sexism holy shit.

I’m not even going to comment on that holy fuck

“May I add that I love this show, because of it’s support to basically everybody? Straights Gays Whites Blacks Males Females Trans Bullies Nerds Angels Demons and God knows what else. The team behind Supernatural is amazing, and entirely wonderful.” Ah yes, because we’ve had so many trans*, POC, and queer characters wow. And we’ve had so many POC and female characters who’ve been a part of TFW, and who’ve had their own story arcs, and have existed outside of their usefulness for white guy pain.

If you seriously think that female characters continually being defined by their ‘usefulness’ to a male character’s storyline and being killed off once they’ve lost their usefulness is ‘good representation’, I really don’t know what else to say to you, holy fuck.

Jesus Christ, can’t you people just watch the show and enjoy it and stop with all this analytical BULLSHIT!? If you don’t like how the show is representing women, then STOP WATCHING IT. I personally feel that Supernatural represents a variety of women and if they die, well, it’s fucking Supernatural, so deal with it. Men die on the show, too! IT’S SUPERNATURAL. EVERYONE DIES.
