"The Eric Factory" was written by JoseyxNeko on Ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/52358758) . Go give her some love for it, won't you? She's got a lot of other great (crack and non-crack) fics, too!
the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it

IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)
(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)
obviously when you look at eric bogosian's wikipedia page it's like "wow this man has truly lived a life," but the funniest examples of this from the iwtv press tour are:
a) the interview where he talks about young daniel molloy's look being modeled off Lou Reed, in a way that strongly suggests he was casual acquaintances with Lou Reed irl:
and b) the interview where he mentions correcting the 1970s drug paraphernalia props because louis' backgammon box didn't include the right kind of pipe:
an au based on all of the boys' fantasy larping if it were a continuous story, but rn it's currently set after the events of snow day :]]
