fucked-upnatural where sam is pregnant with jack. he begs dean to get rid of it who agrees but how the fuck are you supposed to find somewhere that will give a male abortion How Do You Explain That? so he has to resort to some back alley supernatural surgeon and sam dies in the process. except. well. he doesn't. the baby persists. jack brings him back to life. when sam wakes up again he throws up and dean doesn't know what to do. sam dies again when he gives birth to jack; how else could he get it out? But he's forced back together again soon enough. dean doesn't know what to do with jack after watching sam go through the pregnancy and neither does anyone else. Lucifer is the first person to show jack unconditional kindness and its too sweet a fruit to resist.

In today's episode of 'Sae, do you (...)': the topic of Ningguang and Yelan, and I thought that I should note my opinion more clearly outside of my rules as it's very important information for my portrayal: I do not ship Ningguang and Yelan romantically.
Honestly, while this is of course my own opinion, I don't find that there's anything to really substantiate a romantic interest between the two. For starters, I don't think that Ning, as interesting of a character as she is with a past that might just be similar in its 'rise' to Yelan's (we're left with very little information on the latter's childhood), ticks the right kind of boxes for her, though to be fair: not many do. Yelan craves a specific sort of thrill in her life, I mean she lives it at the roll of a dice because she is, on some level, bored, and craves the unexpected, the unusual, the 'surprise', and Ningguang's life nor personality seem to play into that. Beyond it, Yelan would need a kinship within this very specific 'loneliness' that I talk about too often and I think that Ning is not one who quite meshes into that in the right way.
Second, despite their long-standing history that even predates their mutual involvement with the Qixing, there seems to be a certain professional distance between the two that I'm quite fond of that is shown in brief event cutscenes, and also Yelan's vision story, that I find inherently intriguing. Perhaps this distance plays more into Yelan's character of not investing too heavily, or rather not too easily, into social dynamics than it does Ning's (I'm not one to weigh in on her character), but it seems evident to me that there's also that semblance of professionalism that creates a line that takes away the possibility of growing closer on an emotional level. And whether that's a mutual decision or not is not up to me to judge, but I think it's one that's made rather clearly from Yelan's side. On top of that, Yelan is Yelan and it's my personal belief that shipping her is rather difficult.
Now I'm also inherently of the opinion (unpopular, I know, I apologize) that dynamics aren't always more interesting when written in romantic settings, and I don't think it's a benefit for all of them to veer into a romantic nature. And in my opinion (and most importantly: in my depiction and understanding of Yelan's character), I think that having Ning and Yelan cross the line from professionalism into something inherently more rooted in romanticism, would be a detriment to their dynamic. Because honestly, I think the fact that Ningguang being one of two people (other being Uncle Tian) to know Yelan best, without ever crossing that line, is too good. I would simply, well, just prefer to keep that not only platonic, but professional, but of course not excluding it of Yelan's quips, and the occasional 'confidant' element.
/rambles in tags because I feel like I have more to say that I shouldn't flood the post with.

What if a soul can't... tries to move on, but can't? No matter what they do... or who they ask for help. Nothing works. I'm--- they're just stuck here.
A pensive yet melancholic look crossed Death’s face as he took in the words. There were certainly cases like these, where souls could not move on. While there may be solutions for some, what about others? He was still trying to figure out what he could do for them.
“It depends on the situation,” he began, trying to keep his cool for the boy’s sake. “Sometimes souls are bound to the mortal world because they have unfinished business – something which concerns them too much to pass on. They might not even realize they have an attachment preventing them from leaving.”
His head slightly tilted as he considered other scenarios. “Other times, they simply haven’t had enough time to process everything. Their life, their regrets. Perhaps even what had brought them to the end.” The very thought brought him great sadness. There was so much tragedy across all worlds.
“In those cases, it’s a matter of facing those issues head-on. Resolving unfinished business, or taking the time to accept one’s fate, which can be understandably difficult. The latter need to take their time and not rush things; otherwise they could end up making it harder on themselves in the long run.”
Pausing, Death wrung his hands. He sounded hesitant as he finished, “There are other possibilities, but I doubt they’re relevant here.” If they actually were, his tail would tie itself in knots.
“Those two reasons are typically why spirits have trouble moving on, should they find themselves ‘stuck,’ as you’ve put it. I hope this is helpful for you.” Sincerely, he does – it always pains him to see young spirits struggling.
