@fantasygeek replied to your post “For the Salty Asks: 14, 19, and 23?”

I want Ketch to be another Crowley! How he’s a bad guy at first but sticks around because he’s handy and eventually gets better and everyone gets attached. His character development last episode was one of the only redeeming thing imo (though the bad guy monologue at the end was just bad writing). Plus I kinda love dhj.

I have so many thoughts about Ketch. But nothing would make me happier. 

Like, okay, he’s totally a bad guy and he enjoys what he does there’s no doubt about that, but there are things he says every once in a while that make me wonder. Things like referring to himself and Mick as “survivors” and that whole “other end of the blade” comment about torture.  Plus the look he gets sometimes, like after he killed Mick andthe way he looked at Mary when she was asking him to kill her. There’s something more going on there and I want t know if he can be an ally. It would, imo, be the best redemption arc. Afterall, this season has been all about “humans are the real monsters” and if Ketch can be redeemed who can’t? 

The thing is, the way the BMoL arc is set up, you need a turncoat. You need someone who is going to take on the Old Men, take them out, and reorder the organization  otherwise you have the same problem. You can kill Toni, Ketch, and Hess, but you still have an entire organization ready to kill all American hunters and show no mercy towards monsters who just live peacefully. The organization needs to be reformed from the inside or completely destroyed without survivors, otherwise this will happen again. Ketch is currently the best hope they have for that. He’s the only BMoL member with a relationship with anyone who could change his mind. He’s the only one who’s had enough time to develop. If Toni becomes a turncoat it’s way too quick to mean anything. (imo) 

The bond villain speech was so OOC. Ketch is efficient (brutal, but efficient) and leaving the Winchesters in a tomb long enough to find their way out of it is not efficient. That was just dumb. 

But, I absolutely would not complain if Ketch became an ally and we got to keep DHJ. He’s percious and I love him. 

For the Salty Asks: 14, 19, and 23?

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
I’m not sure what passes as “unpopular” these days. I mean, I see a lot of people saying things like “spn isn’t a family if we’re willing to attack each other for dumb things” and “spn is full of ““”problematic””” people” and like, yeah, those are fair criticisms. (Everyone can be “”problematic””.) But I think we’re kind of the norm. Like, I’ve been poking around the Star Wars TFA fandom for a few weeks and there is literally nothing different in that fandom. Like, people are sending threats and hate over people who ship Rey and Kylo calling those shippers abusers and pedos and all kinds of shit (Kylo and Rey are both adults??? what????) and saying that no one can ship it because Rey and Kylo might be cousins and I’m like…… this is Star Wars…. Luke and Leia kissed. On screen. We were supposed to ship that until suddenly we weren’t. What????
But yeah, I do think the SPN fandom is pretty much the same as any other fandom. It’s not especially bad or toxic. It’s just another fandom. And of course, your enjoyment is dependent on who you follow, engage with, and what you do. 
19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?
Fights about “canon”. Like, obviously I hate sending hate and threats, that goes without saying, but the thing I think drives me nuts is the insistence some people have that their interpretations of “canon” are the only valid interpretations. Like, the lit nerd in me just wants to bust out a lecture on literary theory and interpretation. “Canon” is what we see on screen. What it means is 100% up to us, especially because spn is such a post-modern, meta show. I can believe that Dean loves musicals based on his love of chick-flicks and whatever else, and someone else can say that he only likes Fiddler based on something he said. We can both be right. That’s the cool thing about literary interpretation. Everyone is right and no one is right. End of story. 
23. Unpopular character you love?

Yeah. I love a good bad guy. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he’s the most interesting adversary since season 5 Lucifer. (Lbr, Abaddon was fun but there was nothing but a desire for power and destruction there. Metatron was annoying. Naomi wasn’t explored enough.) I know why people don’t like him, and that’s totally justified, but he’s my favorite non-TFW member. He’s dark but I do think there’s a bit of complexity there and I’d love to know his backstory.

Thanks! 

Salty Asks!

What’s in store for Mary?
“She’s in for some new mental conditioning that Toni developed that she’s testing out on her. It’s not good! So there’s a lot of Mary in tears; in breakdown mode.”

Though Ketch would like to save Mary, Hess and Ketch want all the American hunters dead, including her sons. What does Ketch really feel about Sam and Dean? Hatred, jealousy, a sort of respect?
With Dean, particularly, he feels like they’re two sides of one coin. My favorite scene was when Ketch was drinking with Dean. Just mano a mano looking across the table and trying to seduce him with drinks and philosophy. Playing to his nature. Ketch sees a lot of himself in Dean, and Dean probably hates it, but sees a little bit of himself in Ketch. Working with Jensen was so nice; it was a pure acting scene with some really delicious words on the page.
