@@jensenackles-qi3vj 😭😭.....please reply to this too and read this......I know you're very busy but please just take 5 minutes out and please read this......I have been your and Sammy's fan since the show started and I was 9 that time and I grew up with you..... You and Sam are my big brothers and I can't imagine my world without the two of you as my big brothers. Infact I believe in reincarnation and I am sure that God will grant me my wish to reincarnate in a reality where this show is happening in real life...like in that episode where all of you're transported to a world where the supernatural is not real...like that ... And I'll be born as your and Sam's little sister. I am even ready to face all the struggles and pain and trauma that Dean and Sam must have faced in their life since childhood.....I am even ready to grow up in poverty and under John's strict military rule and I'll guide you through the struggles and your tough times and I won't leave your side till I know you're okay and safe with a normal family. Infact I am writing my Reincarnation plan too where you'll get a good happy ending after all the seasons till 15.19 episode but 15.20 will change with Lisa and Ben as your wife and son and Sam and Eileen and their one son and then me and my husband and our two adopted kids as your big joint family and we'll be a happy family together. A slight difference in my story is you'll be 10 and Sammy will be 6 and I'll be 6 months when Mary, our mom dies in fire and I have a whole new story arch for where I can fit in the story. And you've saved my life even when you were not physically present with me. You saved me from offing myself..... I was 9 that time ....I still remember your lines.... You always have a choice.... You can either roll over and die or you can fight and I choose to fight... This was when you said these things to the reaper in season 1 and then your other dialogue "Always keep fighting " that's my go to motivational line whenever I feel like giving up and there's many more my big brother.

Oddly enough, I think Supernatural will always be a part of me too... While in a bad place during my life, I used to watch the series repeatedly (or just have it on the background) because then I wasn't lonely. I also wasn't sleeping in a safe place, so I'd imagine San and Dean standing near the bedroom door or window, guns in hand, guarding me as I slept, just so I could fall asleep. Now my brain literally looks at them like beloved family members... it's bizarre to have an emotional bond to people who aren't even real! Jared & Jensen are real though, and they'll always be Sam and Dean to me.
