My favourite character parallel for Dean Winchester may be Lorelai Gilmore from “Gilmore Girls”.
It is not such a far jump from Dean Winchester to Lorelai since they practically stole Jared from “Gilmore Girls” mid season five. I was an avid fan of the show at the time (I still am), and the parallels between Dean/Cas and Lorelai/Luke are so obvious to me now, expecially after season 12. It also was a slow burn romance between two friends with CRAZY chemistry, and I wouldn’t mind Dean W./Cas relationship’s portrayal to be based on it.
Btw, there is A LOT OF PLAID between the two shows!
LORELAI/DEAN W. PARALLELS:
A person who became a parent way too young.
A parent of a prodigy “child” with their eyes set on an Ivy League college, and a better future.
Hard working single parent, who sacrifices everything to give the “kid” all they can at the expense of their own personal growth and happiness (but they are happy when the kid is happy.) They have been fighting financial struggles their whole “parent” lives, but they always made sure that the “kid” gets everything they need, even if it meant doing things they were uncomfortable with (like borrowing from Lorelai’s parents/hustling pool and stealing).
