dean and cas getting called a nancy on live television

Today, Jack tries to tell Dean about Undertale, and, after gaining a vague awareness of the game and it's themes, finds a small part of himself still relieved that Jack feels a preference for it's pacifist run.

When Dean Winchester called Cas SUNSHINE in front of his own brother ...

... and DEVASTATINGLY HANDSOME in front of his own mother

[angelwolf985]

in the same vein as dean saying john and mary's marriage was only perfect after she died- i think john loves dean and sam the most when he's away from them, when they're ideas and not realities.

[angelwolf985]

supernatural is the show that forgot about it's main character and sidelined him for the rest of the show

[angelwolf985]

mary having to leave because she's mourning the loss of her children and dean feeling like he's being abandoned again

[angelwolf985]

i’m sorry but the one thing i want? feral. i’m absolutely feral. castiel angel of the lord who saw the oceans formed and humanity take its first steps, the angel who became god, the angel who watches the bees, the one thing he wants is dean winchester. not heaven, not his wings, not humanity, just one human. dean winchester. wild

[angelwolf985]

i can’t believe they aired supernatural on real life tv for 15 years and no one said anything to me.. we didn’t get a day off school for this? not one single US president has ever said anything about sam winchester

[angelwolf985]

Oh, man. This is like a dream come true. Your dream is to hang out with the Scooby Gang?

[angelwolf985]

Why do ppl get so upset about the john parallels? all the ones ive seen from you and others have great parallels and they’re not necessarily negative.

i thought they were very nicely done

sorry i’m just very confused about which john parallels ppl get upset about

<3 John's name is basically synonymous with Satan in this fandom but the dude isn't Palpatine. He's an important figure whose actions certainly loom over the narrative, but he wasn't a mustache-twirling villain. He loved his kids. He neglected his kids. He was an alcoholic. He was traumatized. He wanted to protect his kids. He went about protecting them in all the wrong ways because he was afraid. He was genuinely not afraid to cry despite common fanon portrayal. He was the kind of guy who told his son soccer was a waste of time (1.08) but quietly stored his trophy in a storage unit because he couldn't actually bear to throw his trophy away (3.03) . He was the kind of guy who disowned Sam but then couldn't stop swinging by Stanford to check on him (1.08, 1.20). He was stubborn and revenge blind and swallowed by grief. He spent his whole life prioritizing everything in the world over his oldest son's safety and blaming him for his own parenting failures but then turned around and died for Dean and apologized for everything. The fact that he was never some purely evil villain while doing the hurtful things he did is what makes him such a compelling narrative force long after his death and what makes it impossible for Sam and Dean to simply reject him in pure unapologetic hatred.

Sam is heavily mirrored with John in the early series, but because this is a story about breaking the cycle and not actually a story about continuing the cycle, season 1, for example, ends with Sam turning from his alignment with John's blind desperation for vengeance and standing beside Dean who wants to place their family's lives over the demon instead. John tries to get Sam to shoot him in the heart and Sam refuses because Dean begs him to stop. The story of Supernatural has familicide as a throughline—specifically, the idea that sons killing fathers and fathers killing sons and brothers killing brothers is "inevitable" and "inescapable". But the other throughline of Supernatural is that free will exists and nothing is as set in stone as cosmic beings would like to lead mortals to believe. Killing ones brother/child for the "greater good" is a fate angels and demons and fathers and gods repeatedly tell Dean he is doomed for, and Dean repeatedly thwarts the destiny to kill his brother/son because the story is actually about our characters breaking the cycle and isn't actually about them continuing it. Dean refusing to kill his brother/son for the "greater good" no matter how hard Chuck tries to push him to do so through force and threats and manipulations is what leads Chuck to snap. Chuck literally goes crazy at the end of 14.20 specifically because Dean refuses to fall into the familicide cycle.

In the same way, Cas showing shades of John's tendency to go radio silent and try to do everything on his own and sometimes neglecting the people he loves in the process? These are pitfalls that are perfectly surmountable given some self reflection and communication. He is not doomed to this.

in my heart of hearts I believe cas and eileen are besties who gossip and giggle over their idiot boyfriends together

[angelwolf985]

[angelwolf985]

“It? It’s not an it, Sam. It’s Cas.”

Absolutely unhinged that Dean is so emotionally repressed I have to get up and run a half marathon every time he remotely mentions his worry/care for Cas. I need to sit down.

[angelwolf985]

i just love how little by little Castiel warms up to hugging back

cause he was born to adore and love god and creation without ever interacting with either, touch and affection are so alien to his experience of loving stuff

but i reckon it's one of those things Dean changed for him, that it feels good to hold and be held, the need to be close to others and show through means other than words what they mean

Amara, Dean’s (alleged) deepest darkest desire, standing right in front of him in a moment of nausea inducing chaos and the only name that passes his lips in a desperate prayer is Cas.

Cas.
