#i also want to write a character study of ebony bc she’s genuinely fascinating and writing this has also made me think a lot more abt

[winchesternova-k]

ugh i’m finding this part rlly iffy to write? part of me feels like it’s too melodramatic but like,, it’s a soap opera fic so like that kinda goes w the territory but mainly i feel like these two characters Need to have it out to like actually work together which the show absolutely did not do (and they absolutely would not be able to do it calmly, which is fair since their baggage includes what basically amounts to a *literal murder attempt*)

i’m also super conscious of trying not to turn ebony into a villain for a lot of reasons bc a) she’s an extremely morally grey antagonist who is definitely not a good person but i also don’t think she has no redeeming qualities/is a wholly bad person, b) she has Reasons for being a shitty person. like she’s still unquestionably in the wrong but knowing the shit that she’s dealt w (which most of the characters don’t ofc) means that there’s a level of understanding, and c) she’s Black and all of my pov characters r non Black which adds another level to any interactions that would cast her as in the wrong w no justified reason or w a reaction that’s out of proportion compared to non Black antagonists/villains who have done the same or worse w less consequence
