#AND the development of Sam's character

[thesearchforbluejello]

One of my top 5 complaints about things that happened in this show is that we finally get to see Cassandra in Rite of Passage after not having seen her since In The Line of Duty (1969 does not count) and she's AWFUL. Just because she's like 16 now does not mean she had to be like that. It's so incredibly unnecessary. It's like they took the opportunity to develop Cassie's relationship with Janet and Sam and just deliberately sabotaged it for no explainable reason.

DEAN looks at SAM for a second with surprise and then shrugs in agreement.

SUPERNATURAL 3.09 Malleus Maleficarum

First time we met Jammer, he was running basketball practice with his team, offering tips and advice to the younger players, and generally embodying everything a team captain should be. Now, we see him working with kids, helping out in so many different areas, and clearly dedicating his life to lifting other people up, but there's some disconnect there all the same.

First time we met K, she was deep in fandom discourse threads on Twitter, perfectly embodied the spirit of the person who's chronically online and always on edge, and wanted nothing more than to be magic and cool and mysterious. Now, they're a magical hacker who lives on the road, doesn't take breaks for days because they're so fixated on helping people, and is magic and cool and mysterious, but in a whole other direction than they thought they'd be.

First time we met Sam, she was doing a livestream for a trend that she didn't fully get, going through her life with a big smile on her face, and was the type of person who would be irritating if they weren't so clearly authentically kind. Now, she's an actual celebrity who's running a talk show that she's not quite sure how to run, shining brighter than she ever has before, and is running on impulse in a way that, against all odds, works out in her favor.

First time we met Evan, he was alone in every sense of the word, living from moment to moment, prioritizing safety above all else, and having no idea how to deal with his out-of-control powers. Now, even though he has people and a home and a semblance of stability, he's still clinging onto the behaviors that kept him alive, still ready to pack up his life at a moment's notice, still keeping an eye out for the moment where he starts casting a shadow.

Everything stays but it still changes, huh?

Ppl going "waaahh unpopular opinion but Alice is kind of annoying and obnoxious and I don't think I'd like be her friend irl" is so funny to me bc like.

God forbid a cast of characters be multifaceted and have actual flaws and unpleasant aspects other than "grr angsty hero" and "whoops i'm so clumsy". Sometimes character dynamics and arcs need to be prioritized above "who would i personally be niceys with irl"

2. bro just WAIT until you hear about season 1 jon lol

Surprisingly enough, I think Sam and the Addams family would be at odds quite a bit. But Sam wants them to like her, and to some extent, she wants to be like them and fit in with them - which is a very weird first for her. So, she does her best to hold it all in - which is another very weird first. It ends up with her feeling somewhat self-conscious around them. They're more macabre than she is and a hell of a lot more extreme. Sam finds herself not wanting to argue - both for her own sake and Danny's - and for the first time ever, she hesitates over how she expresses her views.

Sam ends up having to reassess how she goes about conveying her beliefs to other people and is forced to take a different approach with the Addamses - one that's less pushy and condescending and actually broaches the topic in a somewhat open-minded manner.

Just imagine the trio getting back from a particularly long stay with the Addams family and the entirety of Amity Park is convinced they've been overshadowed.

Danny's chilled out and still running on the good vibes he picked up from the Addamses and now that inexplicable, foreboding sense of dread that seeps into the room whenever he's present has noticeably reduced.

Tucker, who'd been taken under the gracious wing of Mr Gomez Addams - who just so happened to be the smoothest man Tucker had ever met - had sworn off his creepy attempts at picking up every girl in Casper High. Suddenly he's opening doors in a completely polite and friendly manner, without a single uncalled-for pickup line. He's finally keeping a respectful distance from the girl's changing rooms, and worst of all he managed to make a tasteful joke that actually got a genuine round of laughter from the unsuspecting cheer squad.

Sam had had four separate opportunities to rise up and berate her classmates on various "controversial" topics but chose to remain quiet. And when Paulina had decided to poke the bear and jokingly asked if she was sick, she had replied with a polite, non-sarcastic, measured response that had asserted that she was in perfect health and had gone on to outline her stance in a logical, but firm and almost open-minded series of dot points that she delivered without a single scathing remark about Paulina's recently whitened teeth or 'superficial' personality.

It's safe to say that the entire student body of Casper High had been too afraid to comment on the situation and the Fenton's had been alerted to a code red situation.

my idea of what an animated reboot of Supernatural would look like It was so much fun to work on this character design project in my last semester at school. I wanted a "Batman The Animated Series" look After designing Sam and Dean, I designed some iconic monsters. We have Garth the Werewolf, Bloody Mary, the Hookman, and (my personal favorite) ACTUAL DRAGONS. the dragon are meant to look like alligators. I imagine them living in the sewers, sparking the urban legend that alligators live there. I wanted them to be very sexual dimorphic- the male is much smaller and travels the sewers to hunt, while the much larger female stay in the nest to take care of the young

i’m not seeing enough people talk about how quinn was considering turning darlin into his prodigy. do you know how isolated darlin probably felt to even consider that an option? the headspace they had to be in for that to even cross their mind, and the power it gave quinn to hang that over them? imagine if they never left quinn. he’d have complete control over them, whether he turned them or not. think of the person darlin would’ve become if they never left. just some shell of a shifter asher, milo, and david once knew. the darlin they knew was just some memory compared to the person in front of them. it actually makes me sick. they would’ve never met sam, they would’ve never met the mates, or gotten to see their best friends get married. they would’ve missed out on so much. i could go on and on about this…

just rewatched tfatws and.. damn this show is really slept on i feel like. i mean they did a pretty good job of making critiques of the us military, the government’s use of the term ‘terrorist’, the fact that a black man being captain america holds a lot more weight than a white man doing so (but also constantly proving that sam is absolutely worthy of holding the title), and it gives both sam and bucky plenty of screen time both together and separately. also karli was a really convincing antagonist because the only times i found myself disagreeing with her was when she chose to sacrifice lives for her cause, but the cause itself was understandable. like idk i think they cooked up a very solid show but it really didn’t get the recognition it deserved, probably because people were expecting a buddy cop comedy or something

I really like Alex’s final heart event. I’ve seen some people be upset that he takes $5,000 of your money to make something for the bar but he asks first and isn’t hiding it from you, he is actually excited to show you so it doesn’t bother me. But I like it because, if you marry him, he says he doesn’t have a lot of friends and didn’t know what would have happened if the farmer hadn’t moved in. I’m happy he gets to socialize with people who are not just me and our children. He gets to make friends. I’m also he happy he found something to do that isn’t just staring at the wall or the ugly furniture he bought. I feel kinda bad leaving the spouses all day but this way he has people to talk to and things to do!

why does he have the sweetest face and voice ever in s1 🥲

I hate when people say that a character's death means nothing if they are resurrected. It meant something. It almost always means something.

Just because it isn't permanent doesn't mean that at the time it wasn't a great sacrifice.

I just don't really see why it wouldn't have the same value. Died for a family member but was brought back to life by that family member? That death still meant something

Died by accident and brought back because a god wasn't done with this patron? Still meant something

I've had several people tell me that if death isn't permanent, it isn't worth anything and I just don't get it.

Could you guys imagine if a fell style SAMS au was one of the chillest dimensions? Like, could you imagine the funny potential in an edgy SAMS au just genuinely being a cool place to live at?
