We've got a full backseat in the Impala today. Jackie (jinkieswouldyoulookatthis) has hitched a few rides with Sandra and Kasey before. Today, she’s brought her co-hosts from The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean podcast. Owen (Oh-whenyouloveit), Teacup (TeacupUnicorn), and Jackie discuss and rewatch Supernatural through Wincest colored glasses on their podcast. Regardless of whether a watcher of the show ships or doesn’t, even canon has opinions: 

"You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other, right?" ~Zachariah, Point of No Return, 5x18

Buckle up, because two podcasts collide today to provide some prime examples of just how unhinged Sam and Dean are about each other.

If you read darkfic, you've likely encountered AO3's Dead Dove: Do Not Eat tag; a warning label with as many interpretations as there are fics tagged with it. Sandra and Kasey explore how Supernatural fanfiction writers use this tag to navigate fandom safety, discuss why fans tag so inconsistently, and share their favorite (and most surprising) Dead Dove fic recommendations. A discussion for fanfic readers seeking deeper insights into fandom tagging culture.

Content Warning: This episode discusses self-harm, sexual assault, and dark fics in general. If you might be triggered by any of these topics, please skip and join Sandra and Kasey next time.
