Whilst there's the fact they'd have to fit them all into baby ((and I don't think she'd appreciate drooling, crayon-equiped children to be near her)) but you also have that some of them are monsters.

There's the first two children we come across which Sam and Dean mistook for ghosts ((I really like how creative that episode was)) who the brothers would have to teach them that hey! Eating people is really REALLY bad! Meanwhile Jacob (Amy Pond's son) is eating brains, resulting in a never ending "But it isn't fair!" Argument to break out.

Dean trying to be hate Lilith, but all his maternal bones are just screaming at him, "WE NEED TO MOTHER THE CHILD."

Your action hero just got shot in the shoulder, stitched it up in a motel bathroom, and is now running through a forest. I need you to know that a shoulder wound severs muscle, nerves, and sometimes bone, and the human body's response to that is not "mild wincing followed by full range of motion." here is what injuries actually do to peoplee...

⊹ Adrenaline is REAL and it does allow people to do extraordinary things immediately after injury, BUT it is a loan, not a gift. you borrow the function and you pay it back later with interest. Your character might genuinely be able to run for twenty minutes after being stabbed. and then the adrenaline drops and everything the body was delaying arrives all at once. the collapse is NOT weakness. it's biology collecting its debt. write the debt collection. it's more interesting than the heroic sprint anyway.

⊹ Blood loss changes cognition before it drops you. you don't go from "fine" to "unconscious." you go through a whole middle stage of confusion, poor decision-making, emotional dysregulation, a strange calm, tunnel vision, difficulty forming sentences. Your injured character making a bad call, saying something they normally wouldn't, becoming suddenly and inexplicably gentle--that's blood loss. use the middle stage. it's dramatically rich and almost nobody writes it.

⊹ Recovery has a timeline and the timeline is long and boring and inconvenient to plot. a broken rib takes six weeks and during those six weeks sneezing is a genuine emergency. a concussion means no screens, no reading, no bright lights, and symptoms can persist for months. a stab wound to the abdomen means weeks of infection risk, limited mobility, and a specific kind of exhaustion that has nothing to do with sleep. Your character being sidelined and frustrated and useless for a long time is not a narrative problem. it's the story.

Weapons. Trained, tested, forged in steel and fire. Failure is an inevitability that ends in death. Pain should not be felt--it should be recognized, familiar, and inconsequential

Martyrs. In the form of servants and princes, of leaders and underdogs. If blood is necessary, the martyr will lift their hands and offer it all

Shields. Like tempering a sword, but only to bear and not to lash out. Wounds are medals--not symbols of pride, but symbols of worth. A pretty shield is useless; scars mean a job well done

Experiments. Raised on the cold comfort of a lab table. Restraints are only necessary when they're not in their right mind. Is it honorable, to be twisted beyond recognition? Or is it just a necessary evil?

Monsters. Cruelty, caution, and regarding one as a creature beyond reasonable thought is tempering in its own right. But if you keep a leash at the right length, perhaps the massecre won't reach you. One can hope.

Idols. Pretty face, pretty name, pretty hands around their shoulders and throat. There to seduce, manipulate, force any feeling to come to the surface and twist it to their favor. Any genuinity stays locked behind the guilded cage that surrounds their pretty little heart

Trophies. Status and wealth and the traditions that keep someone at their heels, on their knees, to display and serve and decorate one's ballroom.

I've always thought them to look similar in some way, having also nearly mistaken him for Dean when he was in darker lighting. Imagine how horrible it must be for Sam if he saw the resemblance too. I'd hate to always see a bit of your captor when you're with the person that saved you.

lots of internal monologue and even dialogue with oneself

social awkwardness

despite longing for connection, avoiding it because they are not used to it

or: seeking connection anywhere they can, even in the tiny interactions with employees and strangers

making their home a very comforting space since they spend so much time in it

not feeling invited to activities unless explicitly told they are, and even then doubting it

not even considering the possibility of talking to someone

feeling warmth in their chest after a good talk with someone, only for it to twist into dread and doubt later on

go to Skins > My Work Skins > Create Work Skin and paste this code inside the CSS section:

.content {

user-select: none;

}

choose one of your fanfics to use as sacrifice, edit a chapter, select the work skin you just created, click on the HTML button and paste this small code before any text:

<div class="content">

you'll also need to add this at the very end of your chapter: </div>

... and it should look something like this:

Compassion Fatigue - the burnout and stress-related symptoms experienced by caregivers and other helping professionals in reaction to working with traumatized people over an extended period of time

Can show itself in a range of symptoms and behaviors, such as:

Diminished ability or interest to care for others

Preoccupation with people you help

Mental and/or physical exhaustion

Anger and irritability

Anxiety and/or depression

Intrusive thoughts

Sleep problems

Being easily startled

Hopelessness about helping work

Flashbacks

Hypervigilance

Avoidance of certain activities, situations, or people you help

Feeling like a failure as a helper

Drops in productivity

Emotional numbness

Trouble separating personal and professional life

A decreased capacity to experience sympathy and empathy

Dysfunctional coping behaviors, e.g., misusing alcohol or drugs

Taking more time off work

Reduced decision-making ability

Feeling disconnected

Decreased satisfaction or enjoyment with work (Cocker & Joss, 2016; Clay, 2020; Stamm, 2010)

Some important factors that contribute to compassion fatigue include (Figley, 2002a):

Prolonged exposure. The feeling of responsibility for helping those in pain for a significant period of time—breaks and vacations are important to avoid this.

Traumatic recollections. Emotional memories that the client triggers for the therapist—these may reflect the therapist’s experiences of other clients who were especially difficult, demanding, or suffering greatly.

Life disruption. Any life event that disrupts your routine, schedule, or ability to manage and cope with your daily responsibilities.

Compassion fatigue is a form of stress or tension that arises from frequent contact with traumatized people, where we become preoccupied with the suffering or pain of others (Hunsaker, Chen, Maughan, & Heaston, 2015).
