When I started watching Spn, I didn't realise it was a horror show. I got nightmares. Those nightmares went away pretty quickly as I began to love the characters. When John died, I cried because even though he didn't treat the boys that well, he was better than my own dad. When Sam died(the first time) , I cried even though it was always meant to happen. When Dean died (the first time), I cried because he did it for Sam. When Ash died, I cried because he caught my heart from the first scene he was in. When Jo and Ellen died, I cried because they did it together. When Castiel died (for the first time), I cried because he had been driven insane. When Bobby died, I cried because he was the closest thing the boys had and then he was gone. When Lucifer died, I cried because even though he was the Devil, he could still have been saved. When Gabriel died, I cried because he was an innocent killed by Lucifer. When Adam was thrown in the pit, I cried because he was so young and helpless. When Benny died, I cried because he was one of the first good people we'd seen without an ulterior motive.
The point I'm trying to make, is that Supernatural became more of a family than I have ever had, everything is all about family. It's not just about religion, or monsters, or saving people and hunting things, but about being together and staying near each other through out everything. Sam and Dean, Castiel and Crowley, Ash, Jo, Ellen, Bobby, Benny, Adam, Michael, Lucifer, Gabriel, John, and Mary, they all taught me that love and family is all you need sometimes. You are allowed to be scared of monsters, and thunderstorms, but family, whether by blood or not, will always have your back if you need them to.
