OH GOD, SERIOUSLY PEOPLE.
NO ‘the elder’. NO ‘the younger’. NO THE GODDAMN ‘SHORTER MAN’ or ‘TALLEST WINCHESTER’, FER FRICK’S SAKE.
- It’s OK to use their names. MORE than OK.
- YOU DO NOT, I repeat NOT need to start substituting words like ‘his’ for things like ‘the taller, hazel-eyed Winchester’. I GET IT. I GET WHO YOU MEAN.
- Honestly, some of the sentences you are writing DON’T HAVE ANY NAMES IN THEM. And when there are only two of them? I CAN TELL WHO YOU’RE REFERRING TO. Especially when it’s something like “He sighs, then makes sure Sam’s watching as THE ELDER WINCHESTER rips the heart out of WHOEVER THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO WRITE LIKE THAT.”
JESUS. Save us.
