Shadowless Dreams

If there's only one working part, that's enough.

Look, Dean, I've tried running before. I mean, I ran all the way to California and look what happened.

supernatural s2 is SO GOOD because every decision has more weight because the after life is still unknown to us. we know there is something after death but we don't know quite what that is. the season starts with tessa the reaper begging dean to come with her. to where? she cannot say. when john dies it’s devastating to the brothers that he’s no longer here but elsewhere. but it’s even more devastating as they come to the slow realization that elsewhere is probably hell, whatever that looks like. sam and dean don't know anything more than the audience does about hell.

there is an effort to exorcise the possessed and save them instead of letting them die because there is no promise of heaven to be made. the ghost in roadkill wants to know what happens when she crosses over and sam and dean just don’t know. where do the monsters go when they die? are there angels? is there a god? sam and dean don’t know. sam more than anything wants to believe. and secretly dean does too. but they just don’t know.

when sam dies where does he go? dean doesn’t know. we never get to see it. and more than that. does dean truly believe that he would be sent to the same hereafter as his brother after everything he has done? all dean knows is that there is a way to damn your eternal soul to hell and there is a way to bring his brother back from the unknown and he will choose that path without hesitation over and over and over again.

the second the angels are introduced we lose that sense of unknown. while the stakes are higher in seasons 4-5 the second we can see behind the curtain it’s over. yes you can damn the world and start the apocalypse but at least you KNOW. you know there is an afterlife. a heaven. a hell. a hereafter. and all the people who die will end up will end up where they belong so how guilty can you feel using a demon knife to kill an innocent? how wrong is it to drain the host for blood? they’ll end up in heaven after all. no more pain. and that is how only the winchester family drama becomes important to the brothers, because they KNOW the end is not the end. there’s more than just ghosts and demons and reapers. there is a heaven. and if there is a heaven every wrong bad thing in the narrative can be brushed away by the characters or the audience as “well at least they are at peace in heaven now.” they do this to jimmy novak and ash and pamela and lord knows who else.

season 2 sam and dean don’t have this opt out. every choice they make is so much heavier because they just. don’t. know.

They do know we’re brothers, right? | 02.11 Playthings

What'd you mean that we look the type?

Dean and Sam from Supernatural

I started the show a while back, now that im mid way of season two I decided to draw some fanart finally.

DEAN WINCHESTER in one random episode per day ‣ 136/327 2.01 IN MY TIME OF DYING

I've had this one in mind for a while, but finally decided to go ahead with it. These are my favorite spn episodes from Seasons 1 and 2.

I wanted to limit it, which was hard since there were some great classic episodes to choose from. I'm curious to see if a Season 1 or 2 episode will get the top spot.

Thanks for participating! ☺

To keep things from being too gif heavy, here are the three Season 2 episodes highlighted in this reblog:

SPN 2x11 Playthings

Sam and Dean take on a case at an old hotel with suspicious deaths. Sam is torn up about turning evil. Dean tries to help Sam feel better by giving him the big save in the end.

SPN 2x13 Houses of the Holy

Sam and Dean try to find out if angels are real (before the days on the show where we know they do exist) during a case where some believe they've had angelic encounters. Sam believes he has met an angel during the case and Dean learns Sam prays every day. In the end, even Dean considers angels/Archangels are real after possibly witnessing an act of divine intervention...

SPN 2x20 What is and what should never be

After an attack by a Djinn, Dean gets put into a dream reality. He has to decide whether to stay in the dream where his Mom is alive and Sam is happy with Jess while Dean has his own girlfriend too or wake up...
