God I wish I had something coherent to say about hunger as one of spn’s core themes but unfortunately my brain just loops back around to “Sam should have eaten more weird supernatural things to see if they also gave him powers.” (Like maybe Lucifer’s blood idk idk)

#it really is Such A Thing #like. the bones of it are laid in episode 2. (in a not great way but still)#hunger as monstrosity. hunger as what turns you into a thing to be hunted #with the demon blood. hunger as what makes you strong enough to survive. to protect yourself. to protect others.#it’s selfish. it’s selfless. Sam saves people. Sam is damned for it.#they would not have killed that horseman if Sam didn’t starve for blood. he did that. he saved them.#I mean the show likes suffering. it likes when they martyr themselves on their own despair. and starvation is just another nail #I’m a samgirl my bias is clear but this is obviously a big part of Dean too #he’s the one famine can’t effect. he’s the one who grabs food whenever it’s available #(also the cannibalistic lovers in that episode. I’ve never stopped thinking about this. I can’t)#and it’s not just a Kripke era thing. it’s godstiel eating purgatory. it’s the leviathans eating… everything #Cas eating the grace of other angels!!! angel cannibalism!!! fucking!!! I wish I had coherent thoughts about this!!!#losing himself. keeping himself alive. what is he worth unless he can cannibalize his own kind and make them useful to the winchesters #I’ll stop now but like #my point is that this is a show about eating things. and other people.#I love that for them #spn #supernatural #Sam winchester #samifer #lucifer/sam winchester #fuck it it counts
