The Winchester Family Dynamics - Why Wincest is a Consensual Relationship Built on a Platform of Skewed Familial Love by ArchTroop
Fandoms: Supernatural
08 May 2015
Tags
Summary
One of the interesting arguments about the origins of wincest within a story is nature vs. nurture: Were they destined to it, or were they brought up like that? Soulmates or screwed-up psyche? I have no definite answer. Canon supplied us with both possibilities to the brothers’ emotional attachment: Soulmates, fate, Lucifer and Michael. Cupid brought John and Mary together so Sam and Dean will be born. On the other hand, we have John being the drill sergeant, the djinn showing how NOT close Sam and Dean are if Mary is alive, etc. We actually are left without a definitive answer. Maybe it’s both.
But here I would like to discuss the NURTURE aspect, and be a psychologist for a dime, and let myself meta it out. Troubling issues ahead, so please keep in mind.Series

“Fridging” on Supernatural and its Infamous Treatment of Women - Subverted by ArchTroop
Fandoms: Supernatural
15 Jun 2016

Summary
As a consensus, we all seem to agree about the deaths of Mary, and subsequently - Jess’s - are “fridgings”. TV Tropes lists them as prime examples, too.
But, in a traditional/classic SPN-ish way, I would like to argue that “Fridging” on SPN has been subverted from the get go - we just didn’t know it back then.

Summary
There is an interesting theory (that I’m inclined to accept as true) called “Innate Bisexuality”, introduced to us by dear old Sigmund Freud.
It wasn’t massively researched, and doesn't seem to be very popular; maybe because it makes people uncomfortable by shattering all the principles that hold our heterogenic, monogamous culture up and running... one might assume.Series

Summary
OK fandom. Here is a question: How much fanfiction from Dean’s POV you have read? Written? How much from Sam’s POV?
I would guess the amount of Sam’s POV’s are towering over Dean’s.
Now, after this little assessment, how much of Sam’s POV’s are consistent, taking into account different writers and different story settings? Now, how about the consistency of Dean’s POV’s?Now, this might be just me, but going by my own experience, I would argue that Dean is HARD TO GET. So hard to get, that EVERY WRITER writes him differently.
Sure, there are the obvious similarities - the loyalty, his abiding love to his little brother, some of his more apparent characteristics.
But by a long shot? He is a fucking chameleon. In every story, sometimes - even by same authors - he is DIFFERENT.Series

Let it be a disclaimer: I have no first sided knowledge on the subject of prostitution. I can only derive from the Show, my own meta and other meta and speculations that I find plausible, analysis I've read and other unbiased perspective.

Summary
In a beautiful Supernatural-esque fashion, the more I think of it - the more there is to analyze and dissect. Here be an overview of an ancient custom that was brought back just recently, during the current Covid-19 pandemic, and is essentially a warding ritual. And when Jews bring back black magic you know shit just got real.
And it got me thinking. And it got me realizing.Series
