On This Day in Supernatural-Universe History - January 24th

[hells_half_acre]

It's Dean's birthday! Happy 34th Birthday, Dean! (or is that 74th? Or is that 33/73, because that year didn't exist? Or should I be wishing you a happy 33/73, because that year did exist, and I'm a year behind?)

I've never done a post like this for Dean's birthday, because, as you'll see, what the Winchesters are doing in January is always really hard to pin down. I gave it my best shot though! (as always, all dates are taken from my timeline)

For the purposes of my sanity, I am following actual chronological time, and therefore including the year that Dean spent with Lisa.

*SPOILERS FOR CURRENT (AIRED) SEASON!*

January 24th

1979 - Dean Winchester is born.

1984 - Jessica Moore is born. Elsewhere, Dean quietly turns 5.

1990 - At some pont in January, John investigates a series of grave robbings in Windom, Minnesota. He hooks up with a nurse. Hopefully, he does not miss Dean's birthday. Dean turns 11.

2006 - It's the first time Sam's been around for Dean's birthday in four years! Hopefully they do something special...even though Sam's probably sad because it's his dead girlfriend's birthday too. Dean turns 27.

2007 - I'm hoping that Dean's birthday falls between putting Father Gregory's soul to rest in in Providence, Rhode Island, and Sam getting possessed and thus disappearing for over a week. Dean turns 28.

2008 - Dean doesn't get to celebrate his birthday over 100 times, so it either falls before or after Mystery Spot. My guess is before. I'm not sure if one celebrates their last birthday or quietly ignores it though. Dean turns 29.

2009 - Dean is probably still recovering from being beaten severely by Alistair, not to mention recovering from the news that he unknowingly broke the first seal to free Lucifer. Dean turns 30 (although his soul is now 70 years old).

2010 - Dean may have just escaped from a mental institution, or he may have just spent 24 hours with some teenage kid in Sam's body, or he may have just traveled back in time to save his parents' lives. In any case, I hope that Sam treated him to some pie. Dean turns 31.

2011 - Dean turns 32 at Lisa and Ben's house. Elsewhere, Sam is hunting without his soul.

2012 - There's a good possibility that Dean celebrates his 33rd birthday with a newly resouled Sammy. They may have just slain a dragon and rescued some virgins too.

2013 - Bobby possibly dies very very close to Dean's 34th birthday. I'm going to go ahead and hope that maybe Dean, Sam, and Bobby all celebrated Dean's birthday just before going on the hunt in the woods of New Jersey. There is, however, a possibility that Bobby died just before Dean's birthday.

Well, Dean, you haven't had the most joyous of birthdays in the past...but I want you to know that I lov-

...jerk.

Love to read your timeline updates, and this day in history updates are great!

I like that you said - the year that was forgotten, we really don't know the dates for the year due to the year that wasn't but it's been an interesting journey.

Question did you read "One Year Gone" yet? That story had some interesting information in it (especially History wise) of things in the Campbell/Winchester past.

Thank you again!

Oh cripes. This post is tearing me up. There is something seriously wrong with me. One forgets sometimes how impossible he's had it. Guh.

Love the timelines. Yea, Dean's birthdays haven't always been rosey in the past. But we remember him and love him, even if he may not. This was great.

Awwwwww. This just proves that Sam has serious competition in the "sucky birthdays" department. *sends Dean some pie because he obviously needs it*

The ones that make me saddest are 1984, 1990, and 2009. For some reason I felt Dean needed Sam to recognize his birthday the most in S4. Mainly because he's back from Hell and pretty much everything that goes with it. Although I'm very fairly sure Lisa had pie and a gift for him on his 32nd birthday.

Dean! \o/

But also *sobs quietly in corner* WHY DOES HE GET ALL THE SADNESS. WHY.

Aww thank you for this <3 and also thanks Eric Kripke for giving us this amazing character. Happy Birthday Dean Winchester.

Also one thing I'm still confused about is the year. Is the show is in 2013 or 2012?

Aw this is rather depressing really - especially this "Dean turns 30 (although his soul is now 70 years old)." Sam's soul is even older than that now too...

That is so awesome! I especially loved the hilarious use of the No-Chick-Flicks-Moments cap.

One has to hope that when they are off-camera they are having a few nice moments to at least let them forget all the tragic ones for a bit. We only see little hints of these: Stargazing atop the Impala, corner-gas-store Christmases, driving cross-country to an Ozzy concert, sacred annual pilgrimages to Vegas, Chuck Norris and licorice movie nights. But it gives me hope there are more, and that once in a while Dean they get to celebrate a birthday, albeit in their own meagerly scavenged kinda way.

Absolute Truth. His birthday has not been very pleasant, but we have to Deangirls to soften these hard days. Good reporting timeline of Dean Winchester. xDDDDDDDDDDd

LOL!

Some not-so-good events are surrounding some of Dean's b-days...I think Sam neeeds to make him a pie this year. With candles.

Happy Birthday, Dean!!
