This life… hunting, monsters… there’s no joy in it. There’s nothing but pain, horror, and death. So if you get a chance at normal, you take it.

I don’t know what’s better.
The fact that after an entire season of teasing, Dean finally gets to use the grenade launcher,
Dean’s face when he hefts up that bad boy and calls the plan “big, beautiful, and dumb.”
The fact that they both acknowledge that it could bring the whole place crashing down but they just don’t care because what do they have to lose and talk about going out in a blaze of glory.
The looks they share when Toni calls them lunatics.
The fact that Sam just drags Toni out of the room when she continues to protest.
Or the fact that Dean gets to use a John McClane line when he finally fires it

When we’re gone, I mean, after all the stuff we’ve done, you think folks will remember us? You know, like, a hundred years from now?

smartypants
Dean Winchester is not stupid. Dean Winchester reads books. Dean Winchester listens. I repeat: DEAN WINCHESTER IS NOT STUPID Dean Winchester is indeed a smartypants.

Sam and Dean grew up together, sure one may be smarter in a particular subject like mechanics or something else, but to call one dumb is to call the other one dumb.
i actually really love conversations about their different “kind” of smarts. like, clearly (to me, anyway) they’re both brilliant dudes. great memories, great deductive reasoning, great tactical planners, sneaky, creative, etc.
I think sam’s like, the super focused kind of brilliant. he studies. he catalogs. the shit in his brain is all neatly filed, in order of importance and then probably alphabetically and chronologically. he knows precisely what’s there and what iisn’t and when he needs to retrieve information he pretty much knows exactly where to get it from.
conversely, dean’s brain is a mess. like, absolute chaos. a swirling tornado of thoughts and facts and memories and he only tangentially (but instinctively) has a sense for what’s in there. he can’t necessarily go right to it, either it comes out entirely without effort, or he has to cast a wide net or take an unconventional path to get to it.
two perfectly complementary kinds of smartypants. because of course.
The little montage at the end of “Regarding Dean” is one of best things to ever come out of 12 years of Supernatural. It wasn’t there to further the plot. It was there to give us a glimpse of a side of Dean Winchester that we don’t see all that often; that we haven’t seen in awhile. It was there to show us the side of Dean that can still enjoy life, despite everything that these boys have been through in their short yet long lives. It was there to remind us why we started watching this show and why we come back every week to hear more of the Winchester’s story. It was there to remind us why we love these boys.
And it was definitely there as an excuse to film Jensen Ackles having fun on a mechanical bull.
Long story short, it felt like a gift to me: the kind they gave us at the end of “Yellow Fever,” or the video of Jensen singing “All Out of Love” on set in season 7, or the cast/crew appearing in the “Shake It Off” video by the Hillywood Show.
It felt like a gift to the fans, a gift for the cast and crew, and maybe even a gift for Sam and Dean.
Things like this are the reason why I’m still watching Supernatural after 12 long years. I love this Little Show that Could, and I’m with it til the end.
Am I the only one not buying the idea that two months of solitude can measure up to four months - 40 YEARS - of torture in Hell? Sam I can understand - he would agree to it because Dean decided to do it first and there’s no way he’d let him do it alone - but Dean? I’m also not buying the fact that when Billie asked which Winchester she was going to reap they both didn’t jump up and say “me.” They gave Mary way too much of an opening to offer herself up instead.
I appreciate that this show isn’t afraid to deal with dark topics (it’s one of my favorite things about Supernatural), but this plot didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, and that took away a lot of the impact for me.
Thoughts?
You know, this world - this sad, doomed little world - it NEEDS you. It needs every last Winchester it can get, and I will not let you die; I won't let ANY of you die. And I won't let you sacrifice yourselves. You mean too much to me; to everything. Now you made a deal - a stupid deal - and I broke it. You're welcome.
Cas breaking my heart into tiny pieces and stomping all over them in 12x09 “First Blood”
I loved everything about this scene, and not just the fact that “you mean too much to me” is probably the most emotional, human thing that Cas has ever said. But then there were the teary eyes and the tremble in his voice and the bitter anger as he said “you’re welcome” because how dare the Winchesters think about leaving him like this.
Misha’s performance utterly destroyed me, and I’m totally okay with it.

I think we make the world a better place. I know that we do.

I was rewatching 10x23 “Brother’s Keeper” today and I cannot get over how beautiful this shot is. It’s not just the single tear, or the way Sam’s looking at his brother like he loves him and would do anything for him. It’s the way he’s looking up to Dean as he does all of that.
Dean’s his big brother; Sam has always looked up to him. When they were younger, he would look up to him because Dean was taller. But even after the growth spurt that left little Sammy towering over his older brother, Sam has never stopped looking up to Dean.
Dean says “close your eyes” and all Sam hears is his brother waking him up from a nightmare the day he found out that monsters are real, telling him to close his eyes and go back to sleep because everything will be better in the morning.
Dean says “close your eyes” and Sam hears his brother’s voice from next to his crib saying “go to sleep, Sammy.”
Dean says “close your eyes” and Sam will do it because he would do anything for his big brother.
Sam’s always looked up to his brother, and he’ll keep looking up to his brother until the day he dies.
