Adventures in Babysitting (7x11) January 6th, 2012

this is everything to me btw

kids growing up way too fast both literally (Emma, Amara, Jack) and metaphorically (Sam and Dean, Claire, Krissy) is one of the major themes of SPN, it just keeps coming back, we're swimming in nickels

supernatural is just dean winchester collecting children like pokemon cards for fifteen years straight

MAKE ME CHOOSE: anon asked dean with claire or dean with krissy

hello there! first of all love your art, thanks for sharing it with us! <3 secondly for the spn ladies request if you're up for it could we have some krissy chambers crumbs pretty please? but anyways thanks a lot! :)

Krissy Chambers

Ty, anon <3 I hope you like it

[Requests still open, priority to spn ladies]

Krissy and Claire never met because they'd immediately snark at each other for 5 minutes before realizing that Dean is their true target and permanently bruising his ego to an extent he'd never recover from

Krissy Chambers should have met the Wayward Sisters. But the writers were afraid of success (and of the sheer levels of chaos Krissy and Claire could unfold together)

dean immediately upon meeting anyone close to the hunter life ⬆

you know how one of the few banger episodes of s7 was the one where they saddled Dean Winchester with the teenage daughter of a missing hunter and made him lose his entire shit when confronted with how young she was to be inviting herself along on such a sketchy and dangerous case? and also, you know, the inherent horror and obnoxiousness and agonizing half-inexperience of Being Fifteen. and then just let him marinate in the psychic damage of finally glimpsing a mirror he wanted to protect from the life he lived instead of smash to smithereens

.......yeah i think SPN should've done a child vampire episode. and made it all about the deep deep uncanniness of a ten-year-old saddled with this violent misshapen shadow version of an adult's life experience. maybe just for spice toss in something about living into chronological adulthood but not being able to shake the weirdness of missed/mismatched development and aspects of the self that are still frozen in time? like, we are NOT talking IWTV Claudia being rightfully furious she can't fuck, we're talking decades spent on this godforsaken earth with the impulse control of a fifth-grader.

and, crucially, AVOID belaboring the metaphor about kids forced to grow up too fast. just stick Dean in front of the funhouse mirror and watch him bark at his own reflection in horrified semi-awareness.

The perfect gift

The perfect gift, everyone thinks, is the minimal gift that Dean deserves in his birthday after all the years he spent taking care of everyone and saving the world, and his family is willing to find. Aka, the ducklings+ Cas try to find the perfect gift for Dean

The perfect gift, Jack decides as he puts different pans and pots in the kitchen counter, is this. And he can’t help but be excited when Dean smiles at him as he takes a bite of his-slightly-more-charred-than-brown burnt pancakes. The excitement doesn’t stop even when he has to help Dean cleaned the kitchen and burnt pans.

The perfect gift, Bobby-John believes as he struggles to find the design he wants, is this. And he feels cheerful as Dean hugs the teddy bear he designed with its soft and brown fur, dressed in a plaid t-shirt that smells like the apples and cinnamon of the pies that Dean likes so much. Bobby-John gets even more cheerful when Dean hugs him too.

The perfect gift, Kaia ponders as she struggles to find it, is this. And the gleeful look on Dean´s face as he opens the box and finds a collection of well-loved Vonnegut books is worth it. And Dean and her will later get engrossed in a conversation about the real classics, while Claire calls them nerds, and that will be even more worth it.

The perfect gift, Jesse rules as he browses the aisles of the store, is this. And the childlike wonder that Dean gets as he finds his favorite comic books from when he was a child makes Jesse´s chest swell up with pride. And later, Dean and him will see the comics and try to recreate the sillier moves, and they will laugh like loons.

The perfect gift, Alex hopes as she tries to untangle the wool, is this. And the way Dean´s eyes light up as she presents him the bracelet with the good luck pendant makes her thankful to be here sharing this moment. And afterwards, Alex will hug Dean, and the hunter will promise to always be there for them.

The perfect gift, Krissy wonders as she steps inside the music store, is this. And the way that Dean caresses the polished wood of the guitar she gifts him, as he starts playing some tunes, makes her smile something fierce. And once the party has dwindled down, Dean will track her down and teach her some basic tunes, and her smile will be the brightest

The perfect gift, Patience reflects as she wipes the paint from her hands, is this. And the delicate way that Dean handles the portrait she made of their whole family as if he was handling a Picasso, is a balm to her soul. And later Dean will build the picture a frame before finding the best place to hang it at the Bunker, and they will both smile every time they see it.

The perfect gift, Ben exclaims as he clicks in his computer, is this. And the little fist bumped, Dean makes when he opens the box to find the tickets to the baseball game makes him do a little fist bump himself. Later on, Dean will take an old glove and a baseball ball and their little play will devolve in an all time war with his siblings and family, and he will cackle at the chaos.

The perfect gift, Claire trusts as she finishes the final touches of her gift, is this. And the delicateness that Dean has as he pulls the new polished and repaired dagger out of the box, makes Claire smile despite herself. Afterwards, Dean will ask her how she was able to make this and Claire will smile cryptically towards Cas, but won’t say anything, after all she is the one that went through all the trouble of recreating the angel´s blade.

The perfect gift, Emma contemplates as she tries to take the glue out of her hands, is this. And the brightness of Dean´s smile as he careful looks at every photo of the scrapbook she made, bright her heart and her days. After, Dean will pull out and old trunk full of memories and pictures and they will start another scrapbook together, and she will feel the happiest person on the world

The perfect gifts, Sam shuffles as he tries to get them all through the door, is this. And the way that Dean almost falls in his haste to get to the pie table is a reward by itself. Later, Sam and Dean will go out and sit in the trunk of the Impala as when they were kids just watching the stars and they will both forever be grateful of being brothers

The perfect gift, Cas is not sure what it is and then he remembers something small that Dean used to want when he was a child. It is in the way that Dean eyes start to wet as he slowly but surely takes the figure action he wanted all those years ago, and sometime soars inside Cas´ chest as Dean pulls him in a kiss. Dean will go to bed later that night and will cuddle with him, and that is the most perfect gift that Cas can ask.

The perfect gift, Dean thinks, is this right here. It is the sheepish look in Jack´s face as he presents his burned pancakes to him. It is in the proud eyes of Bobby-John after he presents the teddy bear to him. It is in the excitement that Kaia gets as she starts to discuss her favorite books with him. It is in Jesse´s laughs as they pretend to be Batman and Robin It is in the way Alex´s protectiveness ensues as he promises to never leave any of them alone. It is in the soft tunes that Krissy plays on the guitar as he teaches her some of the music they both love. It is in Patience´s art and painting that bring a smile to his face every time he sees them. It is in the hesitant but firm way Ben throws the ball as their little practice evolves into and all war (it is also in the chaos that ensues). It is in the way that Claire smirks as he wonders how was she was able to recreate such a master piece. It is in the happiness of Emma and her little quips as she tells him the story of every photo on the scrapbook. It is in the nervousness on Sam as he suggests they go to watch the stars as was their tradition when they were children (it is in the happiness he gets as they do just that). It is in the action figure that Cas carefully gifts Dean, and it is not even about the action figure, it is about the healing of his inner child and the thoughtfulness that Cas had when he searched for said gift.

The perfect gift, Dean is sure, is this moment, it is being alive, surrounded by his love ones, and he wouldn’t change them for all the presents in the world

AO3

hear me out!

After the last poll about her I am genuinely curious and I want people’s honest opinions 👍

Masterlist of polls for other characters

"Love of my life", "my best friend" etc are just names for the tiers. If you think that in your ranking system a character is at the top of your list and is your favorite, then you should vote for S tier. If you think that a character is good but not your favorite, then it's A tier. And so on (only exceptions are E tier and H tier, I think that they just kind of represent mixed feelings).

The picture is taken from Supernatural wiki

Dean (still a man 🤢) is dating Claire & Krissy (both over 18) at the same time. They're both vaguely aware that he's fucking someone else & they've both agreed that it doesn't HAVE to be exclusive because it's hard to say no to a guy who looks like That. And there are daddy issues of course.

For Valentine's Day, Dean takes both of them out at the same time and it's terrible, having to meet the other woman on such a romantic holiday. But then, he takes them both to BED and things get worse. He expects them to put on a little show for him in pretty matching lingerie he bought for the occasion, compares their bodies while they're touching each other, and rubs one out while they're doing all that. Krissy ends up crying with how uncomfortable she is, and Claire yells at her for being such a little bitch. And Dean enjoys their catty fighting because he's a creep 💗 Krissy, despite her complaining, comes SO hard on Claire's fingers & tongue. She's probably never been eaten out before, ever.

Krissy likes it a little TOO much, because she starts calling CLAIRE instead of Dean when she's horny and lonely. Claire thinks Krissy is an annoying pillow princess but she still comes over every time. And they both wear matching lingerie for special occasions because Dean was right -- they ARE super cute when they're all matching like that. (And maybe Krissy calls Claire mommy even though they're about the same age.)

Dean doesn't realize he's getting cut out until he suggests a 3some and they both end up just fucking each other & ignoring him ❤️

ok thank you for listening 📢
