A question and poll for any Supernatural fans passing through.

The psychics.

So Sam started getting visions about a year ago - bad dreams, headaches etc.
So far all the other psychics that the guys have come across have had the same timeframe thing of their abilities starting about a year ago.

So, my question is, is this an age dependent thing, or a time-dependent thing?

Because so far all the psychics seemed to be a similar age to Sam, but then they saved that baby and her mother toward the end of S1, and I think John had said something about getting there too late to save some other families.

So that means the chosen children must be of varying ages.

So, do you think they:
[Poll #953788]

I'm interested because I started plotting a story and in it the psychic is only a little kid. I was going under the assumption that they all started to get their abilities about a year ago regardless of age, but then I realised that it could work the other way. So now I'm curious what you all think.

Just interested, so discuss all you like. Chat amongst yourselves in the comments. Or just fill out the poll. :)

I think it works in cycles. All the psychic kids are 22, but after they "activated" the new generation that was born (and thus, becoming six months old) got a visit from your friendly neighbourhood yellow eyed demon.

I like that theory. I hadn't thought of that one before.

There seems to be an emphasis on 1983 which is what I was going to use as an aspect of a fic. This 22 year cycle thing is interesting.

I suppose that would mean that all the ones John briefly mentioned that he "didn't get there in time to save" were last year then? Which would kind of fit with when and why he took off. He did say that there had been no sign for ages and then all the signs he mentioned started up again.

Hmmm... I like that theory.

Thanks, that's what I'm guessing, so far. But Kripke has the very nasty Joss-habit of turning the tables on us, so I keep an open mind about it.

It does seem to fit all the available evidence quite nicely! I like it.

Though it stuffs up my fic idea a little. *starts fiddling with her fic idea* :)

Though it stuffs up my fic idea a little.

Yeah, commiserations on that. That can be a real bugger!

The theory works okay with my fic idea though *snicker*

awsome theory!

This also begs the question, if it's in cycles, HOW do they become psychics? Because something of the genetic variety would be more random... *mata-ing brain out*

hum, hi! I found your journal, and since we have similar interests I'm friending you :)

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Yeah, just flipped over your LJ and we really do have similar interests! *friends back happily*

How do they become psychics?
I read a fic once where Mary actually gave her sould and that of her second-born-son in order to save Dean as a baby. Creepy theory

Um, I figure it's something that the demon does to them. He just chooses his minions and gives them abilities. Or something.

Heh, who knows.

Hey, thanks!

Or maybe it's a "into every generation a slayer is born"-type of thing. And they count 22 years as a generation. But if that's it, there's some pretty interesting 44-year-olds around :)

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Heheh! There's some crack!fic in that somewhere. Like some 44 yr old telling Sam how when he was Sam's age... :P

(plus I think I need to say hi to everyone before I make a random Journal post). I hope I didn't miss anything huge that happened in your life but please update me if I did! :-)

From: [identity profile] hollysamantha.livejournal.com

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com

From: [identity profile] hollysamantha.livejournal.com

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Hee! Now I'm your crazy friend! *Amused and proud*

Ah, nup, nothing doing. Just still bitching about my PhD sporadically. You're not missing much! :P

RL can really mess with your online life huh! :)

From: [identity profile] hollysamantha.livejournal.com


yep. becuase you are special. (in a good way)

well I feel a bit better then - less guilty. :-) How is it going?

yes! *flails* my aim is to keep up with lj, but that it so not going to happen!

From: [identity profile] xphoenixrising.livejournal.com


*friends you*

I didn't really think about it actually. I think it's regardless of age. However, I think things may have altered a little in the writing since we saw baby Rosie. Not sure though. It depends on when the demon decided he was going to prepare for the war and stuff. It could be that They aren't older than Sam and Dean.

So I think that all the special children are being activated, regardless of age (so babies are born with their abilities in full swing).

Hmm, I'm still confused by it. Not sure what to do with my theoretical character just yet. :)

*welcome to the madness - friends back*

From: [identity profile] xphoenixrising.livejournal.com
