Millie takes meticulous care of her weapons. They’re an extension of herself after all.
It started when she was six or seven, she’d been sleeping with a knife under her pillow for somewhere around two or three years, known about her dad’s job for 1-2 years. She’d beg to help out, but since someone had to watch Sammy, and Dean was being “trained” J*hn gave her the job to keep the weapons clean. He taught her how to safely clean a gun, how to sharpen knives, and at 8 years old she was making salt rounds for the shotguns. (It wasn’t long after that she was finally allowed to tag along to “train”). At first it was nice and relaxing, a comfort and a constant in her ever changing life. But, at 8 1/2, when she packed a few salt rounds wrong and caused problems on a hunt, delaying her father and Dean a good couple days due to injuries, she became a little bit (very) obsessive.
J*hn had gone off on her when they finally did get back, going on about how she should know better, she held back tears, and promised it would never happen again. (It didn’t.)
Any free time was spent sharpening or polishing knives, making salt rounds, occasionally working with other metals to make different kinds of bullets (don’t ask how she melted them down, you probably don’t want to know.) she’d also carve protection sigils into the handles of almost every weapon, (specifically the ones she knew J*hn gave to Dean on hunts) sometimes they were just general, other times they were more specific.
She started to do it more, eventually finding hiding spots for the sigils on the various weapons. J*hn’s weapons remained mostly untouched, she figured her dad could handle himself, not that Dean couldn’t, but she needed Dean more than she needed her dad. And further more, Sammy needed Dean more than he needed her.
This habit became more frequent as time went on, she’d carve protection sigils into all of her brothers’ weapons and a few on her own. Then she’d use something to seal the etching so her brothers didn’t notice the difference in texture. It was just a little thing she could do to keep them safe.
Cleaning the weapons meticulously was her zen. No one bothered her and she could hear everyone else in the motel room, conversations, movements she knew what everyone was doing.
(She was definitely the freak at new schools, it was just how she was.)

So, Mina in the Bad End AU, I was having a hard time getting her “voice” as it were, and then I had the thought-she doesn’t have one. There was an attempt made to fulfill her wish—and attempt Jonathan stopped, and Turning mostly fixed, but not before it cost her voice.
The lack of an ability to speak doesn’t make her any less a force, especially towards Dracula. Her being turned by him does give him a certain amount of ‘control’ over her, so that she can’t just rip his throat out, and she knows that with how things stand at the moment her family is somewhat beholden to his “hospitality”. And I think he enjoys trying to goad her into darker acts of vampirism (under the justifications of giving Jonathan a break from being their shared meal, and creating a world where her son could walk free without fear of being staked)
But she also knows she’s got all the time in the world to come up with a vengeance to rain down on him sweeter then anything else she could possibly taste. So she waits and plots in silence…
CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THERE’s NOTHING ROMANTIC HERE. The vibe if anything is the Sith Apprentice bidding their time to overthrow their hated master and they both know it.

Lora: "Is that your dad?"
Jack: "One of them, yes."
what's so fascinating to me about this season is how explicit it is about their family being a queer family even before Cas comes out, Jack says several times he has more than one dad and no one bats an eyelash, Dean pointedly says "I have a family" in "Lebanon" and we know he means Jack, Cas, Mary, and Sam in a way that is very much not nuclear, Chuck makes Dean try to kill Jack for the Abraham & Isaac of it all because Jack isn't just Cas's kid he's Cas's, Dean's, and Sam's equally no matter what Chuck manipulates Dean into saying about him-- my point is none of them have to be fucking for their family to be queer, it just is

Theodore: The Lykaios family are mere Counts!
Marquis Ellen: Shhh! (Covers his grandson’s mouth) They’re crazy and insanely monstrously strong. Especially the Countess! And that doesn’t even begin to speak of the army at their back!
Marquis Ellen who was from the same generation as the Count and Countess remembered all that had happened between them with great difficulty. The trauma in him as deep as Duke Eckart’s was when it came to the late Empress.
It was during a family meal that the Marquis had discovered that the Crown Prince’s Aide was related to Lady Iris Lykaios born as the youngest Lady Cameron.
He suddenly has a memory float to the top of his mind of how he’d woken up to a bloody pile of severed heads, that he recognized to be the assassins he’d sent after Cedric and Callisto, neatly arranged on his bed.
Now that he thought more of it, he could now easily believe that it was Cedric Porter who’d done that and not the ‘barbarian’ Crown Prince who seemed genuinely confused when he’d confronted him.
-

Cedric: I’m not bloodthirsty, I’m really not. (A bloody mountain of corpses behind him that he has buried and sodded so that it would turn in to a proper mound.)
Callisto who stood beside him nodded approvingly at his handiwork, even though there was some mild disappointment there: You’re really not. This is so tame and gentle.

Hiii 🥰
Thanks for checking in on me. I‘m doing okay how about you? How’s everything going? How’s the moving coming along? You ready for Cologne?
Also I had the feeling you could use a hug so here’s a hug for you (of course I had to use a gif of my two favorite dorks Sam & Dean Winchester).
Hope today was wonderful for you 🩷

Sam and Rowena bonding over healing from their mutual abuser, wow, honestly watching Sam and Rowena's relationship grow over the years is such a treat, the deep respect they have for each other by the end, this is the turning point where they start to see each other as people instead of enemies
