❣️SHIPS FEST 2022❣️ 🔺#11 Charlie/Jo It’s the second year in college, and this new roommate of her’s is quite a thing. And perhaps, each of them flirts in their own way… But it’s a flirt, definitely.
charlie!

literally why would Cas smile at Charlie like that he's never smiled like that before or since UNLESS it was the recognition of the self in the other #gay
HOLD UP KARA THE BAKERY OWNER WHO SMELLS LIKE PEACHES WAS CHARLIE’S WIFE
what actually aired for reference:
[image ID: a script of 14x06 that says Sam: “Sorry, I just – let’s just say I’m not surprised you survived the Apocalypse”, Charlie “Yeah, well, I am, Sam— before all of this, I was a programmer at Richard Roman Enterprises, I was married—” Sam: “You were?” followed by a transcript of the same scene of that reads Sam: “Right, I, uh, sorry. I didn’t mean that. I’m just saying i’m not surprised you survived the apocalylpse.” Charle: “Yeah, well, I am Sam, before all of this? I was just a programmer at Richard Roman Enterprises. I lived with the love of my life and we…” Sam: “Wait you did?” /end ID]
It's, like, jarring how differently Charlie and Kevin are treated by the Winchesters despite being in the same era of the show.
Kevin is in this constant high-stress situation from being a number one target of the angels and demons. But the result is that he rarely takes breaks or hangs out or has fun because there's always something that needs to be translated or worked on to "save the world". And in his episodes it seems like the Winchesters are there with him, working hard and constantly on the go.
But then you get to the Charlie episodes and they do relax and have fun and LARP and marathon Game of Thrones together. All while Kevin is still going through it.
Honestly, when you watch all the Kevin scenes together it's hard to see any instance where they are all just friends let alone "family" as Dean calls them once. Charlie is treated like a friend, a sister. Kevin is treated like a coworker, an intern or assistant even. He's congratulated when he does good work and they make sure he stays healthy and safe. You can still be friends with your coworkers and care about them, but they don't really interact with him much beyond that in the show.
And like, a lot of this is the show/writers because they choose how much to include of each character's relationship with them. To most writers, showing that wasn't priority. Actor schedules also didn't help because realistically Kevin should've been in every episode in early s9 from living in the bunker, i.e. the slumber party episode with Charlie. Realistically, the three of them probably did hang out - I mean, they all lived together in the bunker for months. But it's not shown or even implied.
On the other hand, I think a lot the reasons the Charlie episodes ARE so different is because Robbie Thompson wrote all of them. Between Time After Time or Baby, it's clear that he enjoys getting to show characters simply hanging out and being friends and enjoying each other's company. Like the night-and-day difference between "Angel Heart" and all of Claire's other Season 10 episodes ALONE. If Robbie had gotten to write one single Kevin episode it'd probably have been a a chance for him to have fun for once. But he never got to since Kevin was kept to very main plot/myth arc heavy episodes. And none of the other writers cared about Kevin beyond his use to the plot or brothers' motivation for being mad at each other. It just sucks.

[ID: Four SPN gifs. The first three show Charlie, Cas, and Sam individually saying, “For Dean.” The fourth shows Rowena turning away from them, looking incredulous, and saying, “I barely know the man.” /end ID]
the way I could live in these scenes forever (and two of them aren’t even real 💔)
spn is insane because it started in 2005 which was two years before the iPhone was created and ten years before gay marriage was legalized
@count-woe-laf I’m gonna die
[ID: A Tumblr tag that reads “guess when charlie died.” This is followed by a screenshot of the SPN wiki page for Dark Dynasty, which aired May 6, 2015, and then a Google result that states that same-sex marriage became legal in all 50 states of the US on June 26, 2015. /end ID]
jo and charlie were literally never on the show at the same time but they are so interesting to me because in many ways charlie performs jo's function in the narrative without being a romantic option for either dean or sam
i think that could have made it FASCINATING if they ever got to interact onscreen because charlie presents this front of like, non-threatening lesbian one of the guys, talking about scoring at a reproductive rights benefit to her male coworker, whereas jo is ostensibly straight and looks for approval from the main characters and hunting community with more of a Cool Girl schtick, probably honed through living and working at a bar
my personal theory is that they would get on pretty well in private but that jo at least would find watching charlie interact with men DEEPLY grating because she's been trying to get treated as anything not Bill's Daughter or Hot Bartender her whole life and this fucking redhead is doing it by joking around with dean about pornstars
anyway then they fall in love
mary and charlie would’ve gotten along SO WELL charlie would be so eager to show her all the pop culture milestones of the last 30 years and explain tech things to her and mary could show her how to hunt efficiently and they couldve bonded over how stupid sam and dean are. in love with this dynamic i made up in my head
