State of the Pups

sluttylyingliar - Rachel is getting really, really pregnant. Her item (a marriage certificate from back home to a bad, bad dude) has shifted something for her in terms of what she can imagine for herself. She is finally admitting to herself that she wants all of that with Raylan. She's still not sold on motherhood but she's going to try her damnedest to make it all work. She's so far not admitting the M word or her desire to even speak of the M word to anyone but Danny.  In true Rachel fashion, I suspect she'll bottle it up until she blows up and leaves Raylan wondering where the FUCK any of that came from.

new_ophelia I'm falling down with Kate really, really hard. I need to get back in gear with her. The problem is she's mainly just focusing on her kid and allowing herself to feel sad and lonely it small increments. She's not terribly dramatic or prone to public meltdowns so it's hard to really do much. 

start_a_rumpus  Max is happier than usual as he now has a group of older kids and young adults watching out for him. His imagination is getting a little less active, as the reality of the island is enough of a head trip and in that sad way that always happens, he's getting a little older. He's pretty obsessed right now with following people like Wolf and Jason Todd around and trying to learn how to be cool like them. He's also terrified of baby Batman but is also really intrigued by him. 

godless_son It did Castiel some good to confess his sins to Kara Thrace. He is realizing there is no immediate way back home and it still unable to relax at the thought of his Sam and Dean suffering back home in a situation of his own making. He can't explain any of this to Dean and feels even more cut off from the world than usual. People are largely patient with him, which helps, and as he is human longer, and settles into his body he will deal more with the particular...urges and wants of a human. And he will be most unamused.
