+ I try not to think too hard about the parallels between vessel consent and sexual consent, because Show already enrages my feminism pretty much on a weekly basis (not that sexual consent is an exclusively feminist issue, but, you know, it might as well be). And the worst thing is, I can't even totally blame Kripke for it! He keeps trying to introduce female characters and everyone keeps hating on them! WHY DO YOU HATE JO, FANDOM, WHY? SHE IS SO COOL. For some reason, Supernatural just brings out the worst of our internalized misogyny and I don't even understand why.
+ But, getting back to the sexual consent thing, I would be eternally grateful if they did an episode exploring that comparison in a really uncomfortable way. (And really there is no reason why they shouldn't, because if this season's epic meta nonsense proved anything, it was that the fans are insane and will actually watch anything they do.)
+ CLAIRE. I have so many ideas for how she should come back in fic. Like maybe after Cas goes back to Heaven in the finale, Jimmy is able to go home? OR! After Cas has returned from shenanigans in Heaven, he finds out that Claire is in danger, because the demons are looking for all the vessels to take them apart and see how they work? And Cas feels like he owes it to Jimmy to make sure he's safe, so he calls the Ghostfacers Winchesters and the three of them go to collect her and then they don't know what to do with her, so she spends a few weeks driving around in the car with them? And she has this really weird, complicated relationship with Castiel, because he looks like her dad but he isn't and also she knows who he really is because he TOOK OVER HER MIND that one time, and he feels bad about totally fucking her life, so he is all gruff and awkward? And then eventually they ditch her at Bobby's, and he becomes her sort of surrogate dad, because I have this theory that Bobby would be an awesome father, especially to a girl, because he loves the boys, but he would absolutely dote on a daughter.
