something i really love about the prequel is the emphasis on community. people on this show have friends, support networks. we constantly see people in groups, even the akrida, they're not one big bad, they're a whole community. they are a hive mind, they work together. the witch speakeasy this ep was another example of these communities that exist in this world. spn was so often devoid of that. so many characters were on their own, lone wolfs, cut off or cast out. in spn hunting especially was portrayed as this very solitary, isolated lifestyle. but in the winchesters we see that's not true at all !! we saw glimpses of this in spn with the roadhouse and at asa's funeral but in the winchesters it gets reinforced even more. they are a group. they rely on each other and all bring something to the table. and every ! episode ! the core four at least is there, and then there's ada and millie too. and they all feel equally important and not just there as a convenient plot device.

i forever mourn the ensemble cast spn that lives in my mind<3 if they'd have realized that the show had evolved past being centered on the brothers we could've had so much !! but i love that clearly that is what they are trying to achieve with the prequel. this isn't just about john and mary. this could've easily been a show with two leads again and a few recurring characters but no, they made the conscious choice to make it four leads and give those characters their own subplots and struggles. anyways i just love it so much. like ironically, for being called 'the winchesters' it's abt more than just them !! it's about community and friendships and chosen family !!!

#literally also. i whole heartedly believe calling it the winchesters was a strategic move and a fuck you to certain fans......... #who are obsessed w/ the brothers........bc remember when creation con made an announcement abt merch being banned #that featured the name winchesters bc of the show and like copyright or something ?? #yea. also now when you look up anything about 'the winchesters' instead of getting stuff abt the bros it's the prequel<3 #anyways. #spn prequel #spnwin #vic.txt
