moonlettuceSo, I started off writing a rambling post about John Winchester and why so many authors seem to turn him into omg, worst parent ever. And then I deleted it, because it really was rather rambling and kind of made no sense.
I do, however, stick by the following sentiment:
I actually want to take every author who writes John like this and shake them while reminding them that John died for Dean. He walked into that deal, knowing full well he would be going to Hell and not expecting to get back out again, because he was unprepared to let Dean die.
I had enough of the show retconning John to be a terrible father/husband/person, I don't need the fandom to be doing it, as well.
And then I realise that I need to back away from the computer because we're actually talking about a fictional character, and I shouldn't be getting so riled up while muttering "Don't be dissing on John--" under my breath.
Maybe I'll just channel all the snark I'm feeling into writing John/Dean instead...
