You really just can't unsee it once you see it though, can you?

Sam starts blaming Dean for what he's going to do (work with Ruby) way back in 3.09 because Dean isn't going to be around to be Sam's mommy, which is going to force Sam's hand.

After Dean comes back, Sam actually blames Dean for him working with Ruby by saying Dean wasn't there to protect him (4.04).

Dean repeatedly begs Sam not to work with Ruby and is ignored repeatedly (3.03, 3.04, 3.09, 3.16, 4.01-4.04, 4.12-4.22).

After telling Dean to open up to him and trust him (4.08), Sam calls Dean weak and pathetic for being traumatized by hell and says Dean is holding him back and therefore deserves to be lied to because he can't be of use (4.14) Sam says it's not what he really thinks when they both know it is (and Sam repeats it to other characters in 4.16, and 4.18) and then he admits it's the truth again to Dean's face in 4.21.

Sam accuses Dean of not trusting him enough (4.21).

Bobby blows up at Dean for not supporting Sam enough and calls him a pansy after Sam strangled Dean near unconscious, and tells him family is supposed to make you miserable (4.22).

Dean tries to reach out to Sam and Zachariah and Cas actively prevent him from doing so (Cas only at first) (4.22)

Zachariah (5.01) and Cas (5.02) both tell Dean the apocalypse is his fault because Dean didn't reach Sam in time to stop him from killing Lilith.

Dean says Sam hurt him, Sam is the one Dean depended on the most and Sam hurt him in ways he can't even voice (5.01). Sam apologizes, but then in the very next episode, shoves Dean into a wall for not trusting him like Dean is crazy and irrational when Sam doesn't even trust himself (5.02).

Sam says he thinks they should go their separate ways and is shocked when Dean agrees easily. Dean says that he spends more time worrying about Sam than he does doing the job right and time apart would be good. Sam reiterates that he's sorry and Dean gently says he knows Sam is (5.02).

Cas asks Dean if he's okay even without his brother, and Dean says "Especially without my brother. I mean, I spent so much time worrying about the son of a bitch. I mean, I’ve had more fun with you in the past twenty-four hours than I’ve had with Sam in years, and you’re not that much fun. It’s funny, you know, I’ve been so chained to my family, but now that I’m alone, hell, I’m happy." (5.03)

Sam says he wants back in. Dean objects, on the basis that he thinks they're stronger apart. Dean says they're each other's weaknesses and it's being used against them (5.04, but the weakness line is repeated from 3.03 and 3.16).

Zachariah pushes Dean into a future 2014 where Dean never met up with Sam again, and as a result, Sam said "Yes" to Lucifer, and billions of people died. All because Dean didn't want to be around Sam after being hurt and never reconnected with him (5.04).

Dean reconnects with Sam (5.04) even though he clearly doesn't want to, because the first case we see them on again, Dean struggles to trust Sam and leaves to go drink alone because he doesn't want to be around Sam (5.05).

Sam says part of the reason he went off with Ruby was to get away from Dean, because Dean is smothering. Dean is the problem in the relationship, because Sam feels inferior compared to him. Dean apologizes for being too smothering (5.05).

What does all of this tell you? Dean can't win. Dean will always be the bad guy in the family. He loves too much, or he isn't loving enough. Sam needs him and Dean wasn't there for him and so Sam went down the wrong path, but also Dean is smothering and Dean being smothering is the reason Sam went down the wrong path. Sam is not a trustworthy person, but Dean doesn't trust him enough. Sam not being trustworthy is Dean's fault. Dean doesn't deserve trust, but Sam deserves Dean's trust no matter what and not giving Sam his trust is the worst possible thing in the entire world and also again makes him smothering. The apocalypse is Dean's fault. Every single thing Sam does every single mistake he might ever make in his life is always at least partly Dean's fault and Dean's responsibility.

What We Do in the Shadows | 5.02 – “A Night Out With The Guys“ 

[shes-an-oddbird]

Rewatched the episode a couple of times today and can I just say Mateo getting to be the hero is still so important to me! I’m so glad it wasn’t really spoiled in the promos like a lot of things. He wasn’t in his turnouts, but they didn’t use any of the footage from the rescue so we didn’t know why.

The space being too small so he has to be the one who goes in is a great call back to the cave rescue in season one only Mateo gets to go solo this time! And he doesn’t even give Owen the chance to argue it. Very much lieutenant vibes.

The way he still so in awe of Nancy! Like it’s been what, at least two years in the messed up lone star timeline and he’s still can’t believe she’s his girlfriend

The UNICORN!!

Remembering that Mateo is a little squeamish and still does the best he can (tv medical inaccuracies aside)

The way his voice gets so high when he said I kill him?!?!

Mateo: I have to drain his heart?!?! Tommy: NO! Mateo, seconds later: I drained your heart bro!

Owen is so proud of him, calling him doctor! Nancy fixing the stethoscope around his neck 🥹

Him literally running to get to franklin and give him the unicorn before the ambulance took him away.

That reporter is seriously not going to make it out alive but she’s damn right, that rescue had everything!

“dean isn’t abusive” and yet! he punches sam! in the face! often! he also punches castiel in 4x22 under the impression it will hurt him (it doesn’t but it’s the thought that counts) no one “deserves” to be punched in the face

What about this? Is this abusive?

What about this?

What about this one?

Or this?

Or maybe this time? Was this abuse?

What about here?

Or maybe here? When Sam punched Dean for being suicidal?

Or does it only matter when Dean does it?

Let's not even talk about Sam's history of incredibly manipulative and controlling behavior toward Dean.

Cas getting punched in 4.22? Lmfaoooooo so the episode where Cas, as Dean's season 4 handler (not his friend—not yet) had Dean trapped in a room against his will and was about to let his brother unleash the apocalypse? Who was keeping Dean locked away for some terrible purpose they still refused to tell him anything about except to obey? Who was enforcing Zachariah's orders? Cas, who this same season, threatened to throw Dean back into hell more than once if he didn't do as he was told? Cas, who manipulated Dean into doing what he wanted in 4.15 specifically because Dean didn't obey him by turning Anna over to him for execution in 4.10? Cas, who beat the shit out of Dean in an alley for being suicidal (I mean if you want to talk about a power imbalance...)

Poor Cas :(((( so mean for Dean to punch him while Cas was literally holding him captive :((((((

This is the supernatural horror fantasy show where the supernatural characters commit atrocities, but some people have convinced themselves that one of them is uniquely abusive and scary and the other two are his poor helpless adult baby victims it's fucking laughable nonsense.

You owe it to yourself to go. I know, but -- What happened to him isn't your fault. We were about to -- But we didn't. We didn't. ↬CHENFORD MOMENTS | 5.02 - Labor Day
