Those brothers Supernatural will be like we know each other better than anybody and we are inextricably bound by the private trauma of our shared childhood that nobody else could ever understand and we have both sworn sacred oaths to each other. and not even realize that they are thinking of different childhoods. and have sworn different oaths. and there is so much that they have misunderstood about each other and that they can never go back to the way they were before because WE WERE NEVER THAT WAY BEFORE.
#this is why 15x20 is a tragedy to me#and not the end of the story#because we watched these guys start to understand themselves and each other#over 15 long long years#and even then only in small fractions at a time#or one step forward two steps back#surely the obvious endgame#would have been self-actualisation#and expression#and true mutual understanding#not just with Sam & Dean#but all of the Winchester family#but it ended with so much unsaid#they both died with so many secrets#never fully expressing what they wanted#and given the declining state of the CW#and many many MANY clues in the text#I really do think that they had plans to jump ship from the network#and finish it somewhere else#so 15x20 was meant to be the end of a chapter#not the story

#urrrgh#the second one is one of the Jackles acting choices that haunts me#another one being that blinding GRIN at Cas in 9x09#when Dean talks about perfect first-time hookups#3 episodes after the entire night-long fanfic gap in 9x06#right after THIS look#they knew what they were doing!!#I'll be telling my carers in the old folks' home#as they pat my shoulder and count out my pills

Thinking about Adam & Serafina in 15x17, about how an angel kept a human alive for thousands of years so that he could get revenge on his father, how she kept him alive because she loved him and hoped that getting revenge would help him to heal, even though we're told that it rarely does in 11x19 The Chitters, when Cesar is also trying to support Jesse on his revenge quest.
Thinking about how the angel was never supposed to be the one that the human fell in love with, about how Chuck demanded that his children lived their lives according to his own unrealistic expectations of them, and got angry with them when they wanted something different for themselves. Thinking about how Adam, the eldest human son, thought at first that he deserved the treatment for having different wants to his father.
Thinking about John telling Dean in 14x13 that he always wanted him to have a family, how Dean counters that he has a family, how Cas was promoted to a seraph in S5, how Adam would be dead without Serafina, about how he just wouldn't have a way to physically go on without the angel that loves him, thinking about 13x05 and 15x20 and how Dea-- *gunshots*
#spn meta#spn 11x19#spn 13x05#spn 14x13#spn 15x17#spn 15x20#also thinking that if get some kind of an S16#it would be delicious to see Adam again#chances of him keeping the revenge cycle going#by turning his anger on Jack & Dean#for not meeting Adam's own unrealistic expectations of others#and choosing not to kill Chuck in 15x19?#high#very high

Everyone but Dean thinking Cas is Just Okay Looking is funny and all except that he's canonically described by everyone from Random Christian Mom #3 to the King of Hell as sexy, dreamy, etc. A woman found him wandering naked by a river and said That's Husband Material. Amelia Novak let that face through her front door after he ditched her and their kid for over a year. He led half of Heaven in a rebellion on a scale only thee Devil himself had ever managed before. He's so hot he made Meg switch sides. Even after his Third Epic Fuckup most of the angels were down to follow him. The scribe of god took one look at him and said if Dean is God's main character, You are Mine, I will kill him to give you a Tragic Backstory.
Only Amara, terminal Deangirl and Sam, terminally heterosexual, have ever thought Castiel was anything less than the hottest motherfucker in the garrison.
#this made me laugh so hard#but is also entirely true#I love that Hannah too was so desperately hot for Cas#whereas pre-Jimmy possession#in his true form#it seems like Cas was just#'that stupid fucker who keeps getting dragged to the principal's office'#to most of the other angels#then he gets Jimmy's face#and all of a sudden he's so James Dean cool#Rebel WITH a cause#that he literally teaches Hannah#a canonically unteachable angel#how to have emotions#(horny)#(horny is the emotion)#meanwhile Amara#who is very much linked to Dean#but presented as the opposite of what he really wants#which I don't actually think is true#but that's an essay for another time#is all 'wtf's up with THIS guy?'

The thing is. In Supernatural Lucifer always came as the lover.
#not just the lover but the DEAD lover#they literally did this and had them all say “Let me in”#and we were meant to be normal about it?#This is one of those top tier crackpot narrative links in the show#that I'm sure was intentional#but seems to have utterly passed by the genpop audience#I love it#SPN don't ever change#spn 5x01#spn 5x03#spn 12x02#spn 15x19

you can't even have a decent slowburn these days. characters will get together after 2 seasons. inexcusable. there needs to be a real-life decade at least.
#kids these days don't know what a good slow burn is#all this online dating nonsense#what's the point of romance if you don't stare at someone for 12 years?#At least have a kid with them and die a few times#before you go on a first date

19 years, on and off. Started watching the week after the Pilot aired. Took a break mid-S9, partly because I was busy buying my first house and partly because I was starting to feel like I was in an abusive relationship with the way the Cas & LGBTQ+ fans were treated in S7 & S9 in particular.
Then Charlie's death hit and, even avoiding spoilers and not knowing exactly what happened, I could feel the fury from space. I always meant to get back into it, but that killed any desire for it whatsoever. Girded my loins to be there for the final season, and ended up marathoning 14 seasons in 2019. Insane experience, don't think I've recovered yet. Now the Winchester Derangement Syndrome is worse than ever :(
god ok no genuinely i've been in this fandom for TEN YEARS. ten years. ten years?????? ten years.

Oh no though, this could be onto something.
Remember when Cas told Claire that he could sense longing. I always kind of figured that he might not have sensed anything from Dean because Dean was keeping it all locked up too tight, whenever Cas was around to sense it at least. But what if it's not prayers that Chuck has been blocking? What if the reason why Cas thinks that Dean doesn't reciprocate is because he hasn't felt any longing from him?
You know those plots where a lover writes their would-be lover all these wonderful, hopeful, revealing letters and the villain stashes them elsewhere or tosses them in the fire?
I love the concept that Chuck works to do pretty much the same thing... but with intercepting Dean's prayers.

truly my fandom fun is rewatching spn (the patient needs source material to live!) and writing and reading meta and analysis, and engaging with actual canon characterizations and arcs over diluted fanon, and making fanworks, and appreciating the creative fanworks of others. that's what makes fandom fun for me 🥰
#This this this#as someone who watched from the start#and didn't always understand what they were doing in real-time#how glacially slowly they were advancing some aspects of the plot over several years#how we were meant to be left unsatisfied by some things#the MOST fun for me is looking back in hindsight#making connections#reading the codes#realising how everything fits together#often changing my interpretation of something#when I discover new links between things#or figure out the symbolism of something#That OH! moment when something in the source text clicks together in your brain#when some new understanding of something hits#when everything suddenly falls into place like meticulously constructed lines of dominos#and you fall over yourself to show other people#and can see the OH! moment happen to them as well#and I honestly feel quite sad for the fans who complain that the later seasons aren't good#there's so much that they're missing in the text#because that's when the meta analysis really starts levelling up#the later seasons are good in a very different way to the early seasons#budget and CW and occasional cringe issues notwithstanding#all the narrative parallels and mirrors and symbolic codes go off the chart#feels like the best treasure hunt ever#I love that we have such smart and creative people who are willing to put the effort in#whether that's fic or art or vids or meta analysis#I am so grateful for fans' creativity and curiosity#long live our absolutely rock-solid determination to keep loving and learning no matter what
