I even kinda hate it – I hate that John W being a douche bag put Dean in the position of being young and desperately needing money. He had to be an adult so early. Even if he didn’t have to turn to prostitution we know he turned to theft and other crime. He had so few choices and was so determined to support Sam as John was unwilling to do. Poor Dean.

Like I don’t find in sexy (no offense to those who do) I find it fucking tragic.

Incoming John Winchester rant. 

I hate him. Like, I don’t like to use that word a lot and especially not for fictional characters, but I really do hate him. I hate that he put a child in the situations that required that child to be the full-time caregiver of another child. I hate that he put Dean in the position to learn to fight and kill and understand that there were things out in the dark that wanted to kill him at a young age. I hate that Dean was desperate enough he stole to feed Sam. I hate that he was neglectful. I hate that he was emotionally abusive. I hate that the last thing he said to Dean was “Sorry for sucking. BTW you mihgt have to kill Sam. Okay, bye!” I hate John Winchester. And I hate that sometimes his actions are supposed to be “justified”. Like, maybe it’s me as a child of an abusive alcoholic but I hate that he gets defended. I don’t believe he was doing his best. He may have loved his kids, but he wasn’t doing what was right by them. And I hate the justification is usually “but the apocalypse!”. Fuck the apocalypse, he could have done better! He didn’t have to be neglectful and abusive in order to keep his kids safe. He didn’t have to put Dean in a position where he was that desperate to steal, let  alone whatever else he might have done. 

Okay, end rant. 

But yeah. I agree that it’s a tragedy. A Pretty Woman type AU is a lot difffernt from canon verse, imo, so I am a bit torn on reading about it. I don’t find it all that appealing in canon verse, but to each their own.
