#Jensen was so pure happy about seeing Misha (and probably maybe trying to win back Misha? Like if he can own Misha attention again??)

Can we talk about this gif...?

Jensen's face is not "Wow...! Cass can wake out and walked up like S4 bamf!Cass is so good! I am so touching and emotional and thanks to god (whoever exist or not!)"

Like what Dean will feel if his friends or family (like Sam) woke up from some serious, hopeless situation. Like there maybe tears circling in Dean's eye, relieved, overwhelming touching and emotional....etc

I personally feel (think) it is Jensen seeing Misha come back but not Dean seeing Cass wake up (maybe Jensen was out of Dean for a moment but the director keep the scene??)

Jensen's face is like "wo....Misha is back, thank God, Misha finally is back...... my Exboyfriend is back, oh, I should be sad right now because he is an ex but not my boyfriend now, but it is so good to just seeing him back.... looking at his face I can't stop from smiling ......"

Maybe there’s more to it all than I thought.

Saddle Up, Cowboy: 13x06 Viewing Notes

Long post ahead! Focused mostly on the destiel moments, because have you met me? I got to watch live tonight (yay!) so I actually had some time to type stuff up...

THE REUNION:

Dean standing there completely and utterly frozen like if he blinks or breathes, Cas is going to disappear. Cas looking everywhere but at Dean.

“I don’t even know what to say,” says Sam.

“I do,” Dean says, as he walks slowly towards Cas, a cross lit up behind him, and romantic music swelling in the background. The same music that changes tone for the Sam/Cas hug because something is different. It’s maybe even a little ominous sounding for the Sam/Cas hug. Foreshadowing perhaps?

“Welcome home, pal.”  Pal? Really, Dean? REALLY?! *eyeroll*

THE HUG. Dean’s grimace, and that little smile. Cas’s slow double blink as Dean hugs him. Misha’s no Jensen, but he’s quite good with micro-expressions too, because that blink Cas does? I’ve seen that before.

Compare this (from idjitlovespie):

With this (from canon spn gifs):

It’s Cas’s tell when he’s feeling a strong emotion, or startled, or can’t quite believe something’s happening and fuck am I here for it.

“Too damn long,” says Dean, with actual tears in his eyes.

Yes, yes, YES!!!! says me. 

(Also, I’m a little confused, because I thought Cas wasn’t supposed to remember The Empty. My 13x05 coda for last week specifically addressed this after it was brought to my attention. Nobody listen to Misha ever, he’s a lying liar :P )

THE BUNKER:

THREE different hugs for Cas in one episode is still not enough. Hug him always. Please.

“Watch this! I can move the pencil.” He’s so CUTE. ARRGH. Jack is adorable and precious and I can’t take it. I CAN’T TAKE IT.

Dodge City. Dean’s a dork. And Cas know’s all about it with that knowing look.

Two salty hunters, one half-angel kid, and a dude who just came back from the dead again. Team Free Will 2.0. HERE WE GO.

THE STAMPEDE MOTEL:

They brought costumes… and Dean has a hat box!

The Wild Bill Suite! Dean, you gigantic bisexual dork, checking out all the cowboys on the wall. Hey-oh!

“He really likes cowboys” “Yes, yes he does.” Cas could not be more the long-suffering spouse in this instant if he tried.

Aw, look at my boys, bonding over their lack of sleep.

Sam spotting that Dean’s in a good mood now all of a sudden. The unspoken implication there is of course, that their mom is still missing. Curious, isn’t it, Sam?

Cas = A pretty damn big win. Oh look, he spelled it out with his words in actual text. What the hell is happening right now?!

Cas and Jack bonding is so perfect. They’re both so good and pure!

Look at Dean all soft and snoring and perfectly relaxed and OH NO GUN! Coffee first. And then the glare Cas gives Dean? HA.  “I told you, he’s an angry sleeper. Like a bear.”

Okay, let’s break this down. We know canonically that Cas has watched Dean sleep. What we’ve now had confirmed, is that he’s also woken Dean up from sleeping. And if he knows that Dean wakes up like a grumpy old bear when he’s startled, how many times has he done this? And with that knowledge, how does Cas wake Dean up? I have a mighty need to see soft and gentle good morning murmurs between these two.

Also! Cas plunking his ass back down to wait for Dean to finish his coffee with no words exchanged. Gah. Give me all the domestic destiel. All of it. 

 THE COWBOY SCENE:

I laughed so hard on first watch of this I had to go back because I didn’t even catch any of the dialogue. Dorky, bickering hunter husbands. Yes please! 

I don’t have a lot of notes for this scene, even on a second watch, because it was still just too much to take in. So I’m just going to sit here and think about Dean and Cas watching movies together, Cas giving in and watching the bad ones because they make Dean happy. Dean being happy that Cas is back, not because he can zap them places, or bring a man back from the dead, but because he’s the weird, dorky little angel he loves who watches stupid movies, deadpans the lines, and still doesn’t blend in, but goes along with the costumes all the same, because Dean asked him to.

 THE MORGUE:

The undertaker is pretty… Sam thinks so too. Aww, and you just know that if Jack hadn’t been there they would have talked and bonded over Amanda Palmer. 

Her boyfriend is a colossal, abusive dick though. Blech.

 THE SHOOTOUT:

Poor Jack. Why can’t Cas bring the bank guy back? I’m confused…

Can everyone stop almost hitting Dean with cars while he’s trying to chase bad guys? That’d be great.

 THE PURSUIT:

Dean: “Aw hell.” I laughed so fucking hard at this. “Mnh- nope. I don’t wanna.”

Dean going headfirst down a dirty hole, grunting and sputtering…

 THE CAR:

Baby has gone with Sam, and Cas, and Jack. Which is probably for the best, because a few scenes back, Dean just left her parked in the middle of the goddamned road. I was horribly offended for her.

Cas: “It’s a mistake. That doesn’t mean that you can’t be better. Do better. I believe that. I have to believe that.” OOF.

 THE KILL SHOT:

I find it interesting that last episode Dean was ready to die and ready to pull the trigger himself. This episode? At gunpoint? Dean’s doing everything he can to draw attention from the innocent in the room, but he’s also plotting, and planning, and doing everything he can to live. Because, oh hey, he has something to live for again.

There’s also a marked difference between how Dean talks to the deputy here and how he talks to Sheriff Barker in 13x01. Here, Dean’s trying to preserve some of the illusion. With Sheriff Barker he was absolutely all out of fucks, and it was so atypical for Dean to just blurt everything out like that.

 FINAL THOUGHTS:

While hilarious and awesome, I think it’s really telling that Cas has as much insight into Dean as he does, and much of it without words. How much Dean loves cowboys, how he sleeps, how he wakes up, how much coffee he needs. All of this contrasted with last episode and Sam’s misguided insight into his brother that we saw was painfully off the mark at times. Curious…
