the overarching theme of supernatural isn’t family or free will or whatever. open your third eye… it’s the unstoppable magnetism of dean winchester, resident bukowski protagonist, whose shining light of complexity in the face of terrible writing brings all the antagonists to the yard. he could redeem anyone if he tried. dean’s not just the heart and soul of this show, he’s its own unrequited crush
HAHAHHAH, I love Crowley's mostly unrequited love for Dean
Anyway, Dean's most inconsistent application of his own ethical code is Crowley.
I don't get why people keep comparing the Dean and Kevin Tran scenes where they figure out someone is actually a demon.
The scene from season 1 where Dean figures out his dad was really a demon possessing him, and the scene where Kevin figures out the demons acting like Dean and Sam aren't really them.
Kevin realizes it's not the Winchesters when the demons were doing everything he asked. He asked for lunch, they brought him lunch. They went out and got him things and they were politer then the real Sam and Dean. Really, to me, it was a comedic moment, because they (mostly Dean) can act like a jerk without meaning to. (It reminds me of older siblings being annoying to a younger sibling) Not because they don't care about Kevin but because Dean naturally comes off that way. They do care about him and show obvious concern when he wasn't eating and sleeping enough.
When Dean realizes his dad was really a demon it was because the demon didn't yell at him, scold him, and be mad that he 'wasted' a bullet saving Sam. Instead the demon told him he was proud, like a good dad would. However, John isn't a good dad. He was emotionally abusive and he was neglectful, maybe even physically abusive. He forced Dean to act like a parent since he was four. He trained him to be a soldier and then abandoned him and Sam at the beginning of season 1.
These scenes are similar because they both involve demons and both involve someone realizing they are a demon. However, they are not comparable. One involved Dean and Sam acting like assholes (affectionate). One involved child abuse.
(ALSO, When Crowley was like, "my demons were too nice?", it made me laugh out loud.)

I [ @aj-artjunkyard ] hope you enjoy this gift as much as I enjoyed making it!!
There are many types of best friends. Some besties are complete opposites, others would have hated each other’s guts without their experiences together. Some are childhood buddies, and some met much later in life. But each one has similarities and are important.
For me, writing the relationship between two characters is the best part of writing, but for others… it may be difficult.So here are some tips!
Good Moments
Each friendship should have a few good moments in the book. This helps show why their friends and how their relationship works, also provides some clarity on their personalities.
The moments could be bantering between one another. Perhaps teasing, or helping the other cope. It could be anything that isn’t negative. They could be doing an activity together, even if it’s silent. They could be having a meaningful conversation; this is useful for explaining exposition to readers as well 😉.
But be careful. You can’t just be sprouting meaningful conversations out of nowhere.It’s best to give hints at their relationship in the first or second chapter you meet them. Build the base of their bond.
The good moments should be consistent with their personalities or situation. Character A maybe should not be teasing their bestie a chapter after their dad died.
Arguments
Disagreements between friends are inevitable. Its bound to happen, therefor conflicts are needed in your story. Your characters are people, and have their own opinions. And those opinions are not identical to their companion’s.
But, unless there’s a good reason and its believable, they should always make up. You chose how to do this, their your characters.
Reading Each Other's Mind
I do not mean literally. And it may not be constant, but best friends (especially if they knew each other for years) should be able to predict each other’s emotions, actions (some if not most of them), and reactions. These buddies should know when not to cross the line, (of course people always make mistakes so take that into account.).
Maybe the besties know each other so well they can synchronize. I am thinking of a team, fighting on the battlefield, fortelling eachothers moves and working together. This can also work for sports teams, charades, and attempting to not to die.
Relationship Development
This does not go for everyone. Some people and their relationships don’t change. But growth never hurts, and can in fact help your story to have some development.
Example: say if character A realizes she does not appreciate character B, in some form. This changes their relationship because now character A listens to character B’s thoughts.
People and their bonds change. They grow and evolve, so it’s realistic to have growth to you story.
This is all I got! Thank you for reading, and have a FANTASTIC DAY! I’m posting soon!
I found out that Alastor likes doodling and immediately had to draw something
