PLEASE explain the dean killed jess thing. I haven't heard that before and I'm fascinated
well you see. if i were dean winchester. and i staunchly and absolutely believed that a hunter can never leave the life because it would always come for them. and i broke into my brother's apartment. and saw he had a home. and a girlfriend. and a place in the world. and i was so so so lonely. i might. well. i might have the impulse to just. help the inevitable along a little bit. break a salt line. slice my knife through a sigil. just, you know, an impulse thing. and later i could tell myself no. come on. it's not gonna matter. what's one sigil. and then, well. the demon comes. and jess burns. and i drag my little brother out of the fire. and well. i didn't mean it. i didn't mean it. and maybe it wasn't because i broke the wards. this is the yellow eyed demon after all. but the thing is. my guilt doesn't matter. whether it was my fault doesn't matter. jess doesn't matter. i will suck it all up and never tell a soul. because i have sammy again.
Dustin Pearson, The World at Its Beginning
i am not a supernatural watcher but those brothers do have something weird going on. i feel acknowledging this is on par with acknowledging the incestuous aspects of greek myth, perhaps reprehensible to the modern viewer but inseparably baked into the source context. do we condemn themis and mnemosyne? perhaps. but do we condemn readers of biblioteca classica batava for observing what is true? i cannot.

In his head my brother was a little boy, helpless, when he thought of himself, so he didn’t understand that saying things like I have a black belt or I unlocked the gun case made him difficult, sometimes, to approach. He bumped into things or knocked things over because he hadn’t realized how big he had gotten. He was a little boy—we were both little boys—but I was in my forties, he was in his fifties.

Antigonick, Anne Carson
“My brother is still alive. Still dead. Was brought back
with a lazarus shot and a slap to the face. I am the leaf litter, the headless roach.
I can walk between raindrops. I can be insensible. When visibility’s poor, I am the blur on the horizon.
If my brother’s dead, I am not alive. If I’m alive, my brother can’t be dead.”
- Andrew Kozma, Song of the Insensible.
