dean is so.....SO SO insane because it's like ohhhh okay you raised your baby brother because your father put the fear of god in you to do so and it robbed you of any sense of purpose outside of him? then your father dies and his last words to you are an apology for putting you in that position, which are words that are meant to leave you unburdened, to free you from that role, but you continue to act within that role without pause, without question, and in fact you become more of a provider than you've ever been despite being given that closure?

but wait, oh, i see - it was fated by heaven and hell. ah, now i understand why you are the way that you are. your souls were bound, your father only an accessory to your story, and once you finish the prophecy-

oh, you - you avoided the prophecy? oh, you sidestepped the will of our planet's most powerful beings, your only weapon being the raw desire to protect your brother? Wait, I get it, that was always god's plan. you are god's favorite story, trapped between the pages of his cruel book, and once you overpower God-

you, uh. you killed god? you've outgrown your father's firm hand, defied the will of heaven, destroyed the maker of your fate, and you choose to...play house in an underground bunker with your brother and a labrador retriever? you were never going to break those chains, were you?

I’m so obsessed with this btw. Who talks like this? Not normal people, i’ll tell you that for free. Having a completely normal conversation about some random shit and you casually drop “i’d die for you” in the way that someone would say “i care about you” or something. Matter of fact, this conversation wouldn’t have even warranted THAT sentiment either. Listen, you could have just said “nah imma keep that to myself” but you two cant go 5 minutes without reminding each other that you have a suicide fetish

if Sam actually understood the power he has over Dean, we would be watching a whole different show...you see glimpses of it sometimes, like when he was soulless, but since he has a soul, he refuses to take advantage of it...which is crazy because i agree i would have that whore on his knees....hussy

"i wanted my BROTHER, alive" is an interesting thing to say when you ummmm when you uhhhh...when the alternative presented is having a family and a normal life. and sam is so crazy, laughing crying emoji, for thinking that Dean has wanted a family this entire time, like...sweetheart, have you even watched s2e20 What Is And What Should Never Be? Dean had a normal life and he was like yeah fuck this. my wife is a smokeshow and her rack sits just right, but my brother has autonomy in this universe so i g2g...

he doesn't want a normal life, he wants to watch you sleep in the passenger seat on a long drive from Lexington to Saugatuck and when you get to the motel, he wants to bicker over who gets the bed closest to the wall. he wants to hear you say his name when you're excited, when you're angry, when you're annoyed - he wants to watch you talk about generic monster #432 with your expressive hands, he wants to cling to you hard enough to bruise and crawl inside your skin, he wants to destroy his body until you understand how heavy you sit on his chest all of the time...he wants to press his palm against your wounds and clot the blood with the weight of his hand, to find you in any conceivable condition and find a way to patch you up even if it requires pulling the flesh from his own bones. he does Not want to live in midwest suburbia with a woman who could give him everything that you think he needs, because she will never be you.

if theres one thing that mister Kripke knew about, it was the importance of a good music cue. So many scenes are burned into my mind because of the timing and tone of the music they selected. A few that stick out are the scene when they’re running from the cops and Renegade is playing, and then the scene where that one guy with the powers from season 2 gets stabbed in a parking lot while White Rabbit plays. FUCK its so good

wincesties are so funny because we'll make a post about Sam and Dean fingerblasting each other or something and then the tags are like #blood of my blood #sins of the flesh #unholy bond of souls #the inheritance of intimate horrors

if supernatural was like.....a normal show, they could have demonstrated character growth for Dean by having him move past the whole "I have to protect Sam because it's my job" into a healthier relationship where he's less overprotective, gives Sam more autonomy, etc. The schema of John that Dean had - the caring father, the loyal husband, the righteous man - that entire illusion shattered very early on in the show, and it had everything to do with John's resignation about Sam's fate. Theoretically, if Dean outgrew John's ideology, that should have also shattered the illusion that he needed to protect Sam no matter the cost.

But it just, like...made him worse? Instead of realizing, "hey, the role that my father assigned to me was never necessary, and it's also a very unhealthy way to live," he doubled down on his concern for Sam. Instead of trying to get better, he internalized it. He saw how much it upset Sam, but instead of backing off, he just pretended to loosen the leash. Nobody was coercing or convincing him to do that.

On the surface, it looks like Dean had some character growth re: their codependence. But, I mean. The look on his face when he was dying in the barn says it all. He was so happy to die, because he was relieved that Sam would live. His dying speech had nothing to do with himself and everything to do with Sam. He spent his last few moments trying to protect him from grief, of all things. Grief was the kindest thing that he ever had to protect Sam from, and that was what made Dean's death merciful.

ive never watched a moment of riverdale but after i found out they’re all fingering each other i watched some little youtube compilation of those two broads kissing and let me just say. im bricked

thinking about how sam and dean literally never improve, literally never learn any valuable lessons despite all of their wrongdoings, despite all of their promises to do better; thinking about how their morals degraded over time; thinking about how their co-dependency caused their undoing over and over again, how it worsened to a point where dreams of independence became nightmares and the years spent yearning for normalcy felt like a different lifetime; how they were re-dressed in different skin a million times over, given countless opportunities to be reborn, and they instead chose to sew their souls together each time, allowing their inevitable uncoupling to rip them at the seams

supernatural could have ended by keeping their promise on 'whatever choices you make, whatever details you alter, you will always end up here' and had sam wither away to nothing after dean's death in the barn and beg for lucifer to take him again on the condition that he brings back Dean, he'll let lucifer destroy the earth and everything on it, just bring back dean, please, just so that Sam can see him again for one moment only for lucifer to snuff his life out with Sam's body. but instead they played a cover of carry on my wayward son

nooooo CW's supernatural you're so sexy don't show me a tangible representation of the horrors that only interested me because they were implied......nooooooo ahhh don't construct a physical schema of hell and heaven that are within human comprehension and make them a metaphor for corporate life under late-stage capitalism...

I like Sam/meg! even better than the vessel is Meg possessing Sam and forcing him to- *GUNSHOT*
