Kinda unable to get this out of my head rn: Dean helping Sammy with “Our Town” rehearsal

I used to be mad at him. I mean, l used to-- I used to hate the guy. But now I get it. He was doing the best he could… and he was trying to keep it together in-- ln this impossible situation.

The most unfortunate outcome of spn continuing way past its natural life is that it really ceases to be just about two dudes, which was (to me) the whole appeal. Just two nobodies who haven't spoken in a minute and who need to find their dad and even though something crazy and inexplicable shaped the course of their lives, they're just two guys raised in grief by a dysfunctional obsessive alcoholic. They have enough personality and are likeable enough and interesting enough and funny enough to keep watching, but outside of their niche knowledge there is nothing about them that makes them unique. They're just like the families they save and the ghosts and the vampires and the werewolves and even the demons in that they all share the same human concerns re: family and love and isolation, etc (bc of course all these other beings were also humans once). They love and care about each other like normal people care about each other. And therefore the sacrifices and trade-offs they make are not extraordinary or unforgivable; the faith healer's tent was full of people trying to save loved ones; the crossroads demon made thousands of deals to spare people's lives; the good, ethical, even aspirational, thing to do when your brother is dying is to be by his side. They are significant only because they're the subjects of the show, but their impact in the world is reasonably normal person-sized. This obviously begins to falter by the introduction of angels, but even then the show essentializes family to such a degree that the familial remains the main hermenuetic. Our heroes are only iterations of this fundamentally relational reality (as are we, the viewer). And then by S15 they're like... "lol actually these two dudes are the literal center of the universe.”

you know, dean’s visible frustration with and response to simply recite synonyms at this grieving widow is almost as funny as her complete inability to grasp what he’s trying to ask
