#AND THIS IS JUST THE FIRST FIVE SEASONS

[vargamornight]

one thing i will say about supernatural is: the whole thing is like, free will vs predestination, right? fate, destiny, the grand plan, whatever they call it. and everyone keeps insisting that fate is the end all, be all, that it's inescapable, that every choice the boys made brought them where heaven and hell wanted them to be.

except heaven and hell both sent people to fuck up their lives like, nonstop. their parents, referred to as both "destined to be together" and "a match made in heaven" fucking hated each other, and would not have gotten together if there hadn't been literal divine intervention. sam and dean wouldn't even have been BORN

and then there's the obvious: the nursery fire, yellow eyes' infection of sam, without which he could not have been the vessel for lucifer. and then he went to college, away from his abusive father, away from the supernatural world, and they couldn't have that. so yellow eyes stepped in and ignited that fire in sam, pushing him to the hunt, hoping for a little bit of bloodlust. but sam doesn't really get affected by the demon blood until, what, season two? so he's in his mid twenties. all the other psychic kids developed, or at least noticed, their abilities around puberty. and THEN, in the battle royale nobody knows is a battle royale, he fucking DIES! he does not win! his powers are useless there! he is nowhere near the most effective combination of human and demon, but heaven and hell are both so dedicated to casting him as lucifer, they pick the dominoes back up and try again, and again, and again, until FINALLY, after years of manipulation from both sides, sam lets lucifer in... WITH THE FULL AND SOLE INTENT OF STEPPING RIGHT BACK INTO THE CAGE! sam was never, not even for a second, similar enough to lucifer for the grand plan to work. not even beaten, broken, seduced by a demon, and pumped full of evil.

and i can't even get into how dean fought tooth and nail against every part of the grand plan every step of the way. i just can't.

it's interesting that despite all being the same age you can see a clear division of younger and older siblings within the Hargreeves siblings.

With five it's more obvious despite being mentally far older than all of them he looks like a child he looks like their much younger brother did when they lost him and so they treated him as such. But you can see that level out now to they still treat him like a younger brother but give him space to be an adult.

But for the other siblings that all remain the same age it's a nice little look into how parentification of the higher numbers and the wombification of the lowers ones by Hargreeves insane parenting methods created an artificial sibling age hierarchy amongst children of the same age.

Which is also why ben doesn't fit. He was number 6 to them but he was number 2 in his own family. They want to baby him but he is used to being looked to as an elder. it's also why him and Diego seem to clash the most can't be two number twos with complexes about being number two in the family it fucks the whole shit up

can't believe tom hiddleston ACTUALLY interrupted the interviewer to say "one last thing, i think mobius is loki's friend and i don't think loki has ever had a friend before" like king. i love how u felt the need to add that truly

First Kiss + details

thinking about that article where Aidan talks about Five being lost this season, about how he doesn't know what his place is in the universe. thinking about how it might be because there's no longer any apocalypse to stop, no world to save, and comparing it to similar circumstances in season 3. thinking about the fact Five's response to having fulfilled his purpose in that situation is not to despair but to celebrate. you could argue that maybe it's because the reality of it hasn't set in, that he's essentially in the honeymoon phase of no longer having a place in the world, but I'd argue there's another consideration - his family. Five in S3 is content, happy even, despite no longer having a purpose because at least he still knows his place. and that's amongst the people he's dedicated decades of his life to saving. thinking about how, by the end of the season, Five was ready to finally put an end to it all - no more stopping the apocalypse. because at least he'd get to go out surrounded by the people he loved. but S4 sees them all split up. and now Five's without a purpose and without his family. and there's no end of the world to save them from; they won, timeline fixed, universe restored. his family is finally safe. and Five is still alone.

the unbearable tragedy of getting what you want.

i do often get very bored of things very quickly if they don't have any women of significance in them

[wellijustfinnihedoneofthebooks]

I understand why everyones so mad about five x lila (i dont like it either) BUT i do think the setup of it (lost in time with no one else to rely on, protecting eachother, ect) would probably make five fall in love with just about anyone. Just like, this is kind of what he always imagined having with deloras. So i dont fully agree with the wide consensus that its out of character for him to fuck his brothers wife (in this specific scenario)

That being said, he absolutely wouldnt give up on his family over it.

and if i said byler’s first kiss deserves as much passion as jancy’s first kiss then what

[castiellesbian]

aghh it just makes me bounce off the walls because NEITHER mary nor dean were in the wrong. it's circumstances!!! mary was right to feel claustrophobic by the expectations put on her to be the perfect mother, to feel dislocated in a decade she doesn't belong in with sons that are older than she is (<-in theory, obviously sam smith playing her doesn't make this conflict very apparent). but dean is ALSO right to resent her for not being there for him! for not being there for sam! he's right to want a mother that will be able to shoulder his emotional burden because that's what parents do and he NEVER had that growing up!! it's just such a compelling plot because the conflict is truly organic and unforced and not easily resolved, or even maybe possible to resolve. just like real life.
