No but I need to talk about Sam Winchester and Jon Sims and how they are the exact same niche character created specifically to drive me insane.
Here you have two characters destined from young ages (very VERY young in Sam’s case) to end the world. Hand picked by forces beyond their control. Molded into what they were to become through coercion and ignorance. Here you have two characters trying to figure out why these significant deaths in their lives happened, leading them onto that path. Stealing the comfort of normalcy from them and alienating them from humanity. Here you have these two characters coming to terms with inhuman abilities they desperately want to use for good. Even when the cost of these abilities becomes something monstrous. Even when it becomes clear no one around them sees them as the same person anymore. Here you have these two characters who go to their deaths having lost every ounce of agency of their lives.
And they weren’t supposed to be sympathetic.
Both of their corruption arcs were supposed to be cut and dry. Sam was supposed to be fully lost to his demon blood. Jon was supposed to gladly take the throne and be consumed by power.
Neither of their needs to prevent the pain and suffering through the apocalypses they caused (or would’ve in Sam’s case) meant anything in the face of what they were chosen to become. Vessels. Catalysts for torment. Anti-Christs who people hated and feared. And that is what drives me insane. That these two characters, within their stories, who had trauma after trauma thrown at them, were made to be vilified and seen as weak willed freaks of nature.
I don’t know what the point of this is. Maybe there isn’t one. Maybe it’s 1am and I’m just sad. Maybe it’s 1am and I’m just angry. I don’t know. What I do know though is that Sam Winchester and Jon Sims deserved better and I will fist fight Eric Kripke and Johnny Sims in the parking lot of a Dennys.
