Obviously I didn't grow up in parallel households with many of you, but although my parents would never hit us with belts, parents of friends disciplined them that way, and I did have the misfortune of one of them thinking their rules applied to me.
That was ha ha funny to go home and tell my parents about--it was a line they observed, but I knew a shitload of kids whose parents thought the belt was just fine, and all I considered myself was lucky--they were happy healthy intelligent kids who loved their parents and weren't afraid of them--they just had higher/different penalties for misbehaving.
I have realised that when I say I think John hit the boys that some people hear me saying he didn't love them, or they didn't love him and I'm absolutely not saying anything of the sort.
What do you say to someone who says their least favourite fanon is that John had sex after Mary's death?
That it's not fanon? Adam was not conceived immaculately, folks.
Wow, one missing word changes everything! Duh.
I just dropped in a picture--the photo of John and Adam, and then went on to explain why I don't wish twenty years of celibacy on anyone, no matter how mission-oriented they are.
Like, seriously, why would you even want that for a character you like?
(Maybe they missed the end of S5? It's not like it's a dropped plotline...well, okay, until they ditched Adam in hell, but whatevs! Save the hot brothers, I always say. Always.)
John was grieving, but he was also human. Also, sex does not always (or even usually) = huge emotional commitment, or even emotion at all. Sometimes it's just sex, which is also fine.
This is a fan that also hopes Jimmy is alive in there, so CLEARLY cannot be trusted with characters.
::hugs them tight to her bosoms::
God, why would you want that for him?
This fan is clearly against happiness, and possibly also peace. Definitely freedom.
If nothing else, I'd imagine a present Jimmy might have revealed himself during "Mommy Dearest" when all of Cas' angelic powers were neutralized.
