Charlie Bradbury!

*claps hands* YAYYYYYYY!

How I feel about this character: Charlie is my faaaaaaaaaaaaavorite. I love her SO MUCH. She's such a smart character - not just her as a character but the writer/director/showrunner/whoever that came up with her as a recurring female character that the fans would love. She's a fantastic character that we can expect to see her for a long time to come, and I just love that about her. It's the lesbian thing, honestly. By basically making her a little sister, and absolutely, completely, and utterly immune from possible romantic entanglements with the Winchesters, even the shippers can love her.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Dorothy, the fairy lady, Jo (I don't know how people came up with this idea, but I support it whole-heartedly). I outlined a little fic I wouldn't mind seeing for her and Kevin up there a few comments.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: DEAN & CHARLIEEEEEEEEEEEE. I love their dynamic, so much. It makes me a little sad, though, because you know. Well. It's like my cats. Everyone just LOOOOOVES Fatty, and me and my wife are just boggled by this, because clearly Jeeves is the best cat. But no one seems to appreciate him! And I feel that way with the Winchesters. Like, (for me, obviously) Sam is the best Winchester! But everyone always loves Dean. And it always just makes me really sad. :( But anyway, I do love Dean and Charlie's dynamic, so much. And now (weirdly), this makes me want to write Sam and Jody because she actually seems to like him best. Also, I really want to see Charlie and Cas hang out because I totally think they would be BFFs.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I'm not sure it's unpopular, but I really think the reason she's so popular with fandom is because she's not a threat to the boys' shipping possibilities.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I want her to move into the bunker and hunt with the Winchesters! (I kind of want everyone to move into the bunker and hunt with the Winchesters. I want a big old hunter clubhouse with Dean and Sam and Cas and Kevin (not dead lalala) and Charlie and Garth and Krissy and her team and Jody and Donna and... EVERYONE.)

Yes!

I wish she was in the bunker (along with everyone else - those are prob my fav fics). She's just so awesome on her own. And you're probably right that her being off the market for shipping just makes her so easy to like, which is rather unfortunate. :| SPN fandom is so hard on its ladies. :|

Ha. So I asked you to write about Charlie, bc she's so great, and then omens asked me to write about Charlie, bc I didn't ask HER, so there's a lot of Charlie love here.

I have never encountered Jo/Charlie, but that's interesting? I can see them getting along. I'll have to check it out!

I saw your post about Charlie! It is better than mine, actually, I think, because mine is perhaps a little too meta.

And yes, SPN IS hard on its ladies.

Jo/Charlie was one of the pairings I could write for the femslash exchange, and I did sign up for it, though I didn't get matched on it. Most of the femslash pairings were women that had never met in canon, and a lot of them has one character dead and one character living so it was a challenge for sure!

[curiouscorvid]

Psssshhh. There's nothing wrong with meta!
I really enjoyed your thoughts because I like seeing everyone's theories.

<333 I like meta too, but Charlie is awesome on more than a meta level - she's a really great character, and while I'm glad she's stuck around, so has Jody, and she's not nearly as interesting meta-wise. So yeah, yay Charlie! She is awesome and I can't wait to see more of her.
