Can we hear it for Sam Winchester. He spends half the show like 😐 just hovering around and telling Dean to drink water. And the other half going through the most trauma imaginable. On top of that his brother is fucking gay and keeps ruining their life bcuz his weird boyfriend is evil again. On top of that half of the fandom hates him and probably the writers too. Maybe not God's strongest soldier but by far his strangest one.
Dean always says that his life could fit inside the pockets of his jacket.
They were never really allowed to have things when they were little – toys and stuffed animals and clothes are only good for slowing you down and getting you killed. 'Cut every non-essential', rule number one of the life on the road. No exceptions for anyone, not even kids.
But that was a rule he could never follow, not all the way. He kept things – small things, insignificant things. He doesn't really remember when or how it started, maybe it was an act of rebellion, or just a way to remind himself that he was alive after all, that the world was bearing a mark of his passage. All the times he felt as disappearing, he had something to hold on to.
He's a creature of habit, in the end. Even now that he has a loving family, a job, a roof over his head; even now that he feels like he is really making a difference, he still keeps those old scraps. And he never stopped collecting new ones.
Zoom for details! I added a few easter eggs, let me know if you find them!
dean: this is my funny little sidekick who I DON'T want to fuck and it's ridiculous that you would even insinuate that. baby in a trenchcoat. dragging him around like a plushie.
cas: You're an angel, I'm a dog Or you're a dog and I'm your man You believe me like a god I'll destroy you like I am I'm sorry I'm the one you love No one will ever love me like you again So when you leave me, I should die I deserve it, don't I? I can feel it gettin' near Like flashlights comin' down the way One day you'll figure me out I'll meet judgment by the hounds People always gave me love Others were never to blame after all You believe me like a god I'll betray you like a man
