dear chuck, team free will 2.0 deserve a beach day and a nice movie night with plenty of snacks and blankets, not for all of their good, hard work for the past 14 seasons to be for absolutely nothing, u fuckin COWARD

not to dwell on the season 14 finale too much, but can we talk about how heartbreaking Sam’s religious arc is?

He’s always kept his faith and he’s been known to pray to God through EVERYTHING. After all he’d been through, he always felt comfort in the idea of God, no matter how many times Dean messes with him for it. He finally realizes he knows God, and they work together to defeat the Darkness. God disappears once again. Sam’s faith remains.

Fast forward to 14x20. Chuck finally returns. But he seems different. He wants to kill Jack. He says the only way to do so is by sacrificing your own life. Sam is beginning to question his beliefs, but still, this is God. Surely he had a good reason. He doesn’t agree with it, but there must certainly be a reason. He just hopes he can help them find another way.

Then Chuck finally tells them. He finally reveals that this has all been his little game. That he’s been watching and playing them their whole lives, treating them like puppets and watching them dance. Sam feels lost. He feels sick. How could he? The man he’d prayed to his whole life thought everything he had been through was just a form of sick entertainment? His faith is crushed. That’s why it’s so easy, when he hears Jack’s scream, to grab the gun and turn it on Chuck himself. He doesn’t hesitate. Because he’s lost, and he’s afraid, and he’s just been betrayed by one of the beings he has always looked to for support.

Finding stability in anything in the hunting life is hard, and Sam just lost one of his biggest pieces of that very feeling.
