(yes this is technically racebending, but like, in a cute way)
assorted (azn-chesters?) (winch-inese-americans?) half-chinese sam and dean headcanons below:
they’re wasian just because 1. john deserves to be white 2. i’m projecting. go away
since mary died when they were young, only dean can speak chinese, and even then only the kind of fluency you get when it’s your first language and you haven’t spoken it often since you were young
sam grows up speaking very little chinese, the kind you get from only speaking to family and the kind only family can understand because it’s basically incorrect (he is most familiar with the names of food)
SPEAKING of sam he has issues w his identity !! he does not havw those chinese influences in his life other than diluted through dean and yet he feels distinctly un-white. it isolates him :(
sam also has internalized colorism issues because FUCK YOU i do what i want
growing up dean gives sam hongbao on new years even though it’s not proper just because john never does. it always contains like two bucks. sam is happy anyway
omg... when they are older they can both give it to jack... order restored...
WAIT SPEAKING OF NEW YEARS. DEAN IS OBSESSED WITH PARTY SNAPS WELL INTO HIS ADULTHOOD. I AM PROJECTING, MAYBE THIS IS INCREDIBLY NICHE, WHATEVER
you know how spn takes random cultural/spiritual divination stuff and grossly misrepresents it but makes it more cool and magical? there is heavy use of the trigrams/hexagrams of the yijing (i think it’s called the book of changes in english? i ching?) for divination in wasian supernatural . like they use it like spooky tarot cards. i jsut think it would be funny,,,
correction: sam uses it. it’s too complicated for dean
sam, fucking about with a book and a handful of coins: “UH OH. HEAVEN OVER WATER” dean: “what the fuck are you even saying to me”
(his predictions are always right and mysteriously specific)
wait going back to the language thing — yes dean only speaks chinese at like a child level but also he knows all the swear words and DOES teach them all to sam when sam is like 10
HJHHDJ sam smacks dean upside the head occasionally and calls him a 笨蛋 (dumbass/fool/ “stupid egg”) and dean is just like i brought this upon myself
this feels SOO stereotypical but it is fucking accurate so i’m gonna say it: during pilot dean finds out that living in stanford sam doesn’t own a rice cooker and disowns him
sam also doesn’t wash his rice before he cooks it. i’m sorry i’m sorry i promise i’m a sam stan i swear
actually dean probably doesn’t either they’re both hopeless
speaking of food dean makes hong shao rou like it was forged by Gods Hands Himself. this is canon
jack is like my 3 year old cousin and subsides off of a diet of xiaolongbao and hello panda after the winchesters accidentally fed it to him Once (“kids like this stuff, right?”), cas probably enables him
when he was little, instead of being obsessed with batman, dean wanted to be happy monkey king. he had a staff and everything
