I didn't mind Bela, although they wrote her with a lot of holes. Even her introduction made no sense -- how was she supposed to know they were eating at Biggerson's in time to grab a wig and a uniform and pretend to be a waitress?
I have no problem with her being a bitch, or doing what she did -- it's sort of surprising we haven't seen more people profiting off the supernatural instead of just being victimized by it.
And while I don't love that she apparently killed her parents because she was a victim of sexual abuse, I can't think of a lot of other reasons for a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl to want her parents dead and remain remotely sympathetic.

Non-sexual abuse. I mean, Max wasn't molested.
Abuse in general is pretty cliched, though.
Not that it's not horrific, of course. And it happens, so.
I just can't get over them getting over her threatening to kill him. At least Gordon thought he was saving the world.
Totally cliched. Just doesn't have to be sexualized. Which is, like, at least 75% of chicks in comics backstory/origin story/damage. I'd rather, at this point, if they have to use the abuse trope, have it be of the non-sexual variety. I mean, does a chick HAVE to get a copy of The Courage to Heal with her cape?
(Note: actual numbers hyperbole. But the complaint is one of long standing.)
Well, for those of us who don't read comics, that's not going to ping. I just wanted something more creative.
I also want it to be tomorrow night. Now please.
I also also realized I may be writing girl!Winchesters in my own way, since I've got a mother and two daughters in this book who have powers/a life no one can know about. Oops?
But rape is the worst thing that can happen to you.
Well, unless you're a Winchester. Indubitably, losing your brother is worse.
I always liked that my Batgirl's father shot her and didn't teach her to speak. That's some sick shit.
Yeah, that's pretty hardcore.
David Cain could show John Winchester how to raise killing machines.
Why has it taken me this long to think of John and Bruce Wayne imposing vengeance missions on their charges? I want Sam/Nightwing slash.
Nightwing is Robin?
t /Batman mythology fail
The one thing I would write if I had all the time in the world would be preseries fic of John raising Dean and Sam. A lot of if would be woobie kidfic, really -- John with a sick two-year-old Sam who won't give up his pacifier and indulgent stuff like that -- but also a good deal from John's POV, observing the boys at different ages and in different situations.
