I gotta rant for a second here. I hate this app. Okay maybe not this whole app, more the people on here. Specifically the people in the supernatural community. Yes talking to you. I can’t believe I’m even back into this with you guys.

I know people can pick and chose which characters they like and which they dislike. I know, for some trauma and whathaveyou also plays into what they feel towards a character.

But I am just so mad. I’m on a little bit of a rewatch, as you are, of season 1 to 3 (maybe some episodes of 4 and 5) because those are the only good seasons, and I just wanna look at some posts of my favorite character.

But my favorite character happens to be John.

TLDR: John's character is complex as fuck and people like to oversimplify and villify him, for no reason other than „BuT My DaAAadYY WaS ShiTTy!!!!“

And I get it. People on here disregard season 1-3, even the writers disregarded what JDM wanted John to be: “I don’t think he’s as screwed-up as other people do,” Morgan told EW. “I think he is a guy who’s got a tremendous amount of love for his family. He was willing to die for his sons, willing to put himself in a place to where he could lose his life for revenge on what killed his wife. So as much has been said about John or that I’ve heard about John, I think what is missing is that he shows love in different ways. Maybe he wasn’t a big hugger and he didn’t say the right things when he should’ve — and there’s a bigger picture about getting your kids into hunting ghosts that I should acknowledge — but I think at his core he really loved his family and was willing to sacrifice everything. So I never looked or played John in a way that there was any malice toward his sons.”

People project what went wrong in their lifes and with their fathers on this app SO HARD. To be fair they do that everywhere. But it's so infuriating when it's done to a character you love so much.

And as much as I wanna be understanding I am just so pissed.

Hear me out: Back when I first started watching supernatural (I was fucking 12 back then, can you believe that) and my friend was all „OMG Sam is such a treat. He's mine!“ I thought, okay I'm gonna take Dean then.

The coin finally dropped on me in 'Shadow' and I realized „Heck, screw Dean, I'm taking John!“ (Not that I told my friend that, LOL. I hadn't realized just then that I prefer older guys)

And attraction is one thing, but the character spoke to me on such a deep level too. I mean, you got a dude whos wife died in a way that he cannot explain in a rational way, only to have his eyes opened to the supernatural by Missouri. And it turns out whatever killed his wife also did some fucked up shit to his kid and is after, not only his youngest but, all of them.

So he's forced to take his kids on the run. But, he's also an ex-marine, he's a soldier and he can't leave other people to die at the hands and claws and teeth of monsters and ghosts and strigas and whathaveyou. Which leaves him struggling to ballance protecting and caring for his kids and saving people and hunting things, AND finding the thing that killed his wife.

The way John's situation was set up (ignoring for a second what we learn in later seasons) and the way Sam was brought up by him created a relationship that was bound to escalate; it was only a matter of time.

Season 1 to 3 we got a John that was distant and rough, but a John that recognized he fucked up along the way and who saught to rectify where he went wrong with his boys.

Season 1 episode 20: „You gotta understand something. After your mother passed all I saw was evil, everywhere. And all I cared about was keeping you boys alive. I wanted you...prepared. Ready. Except somewhere along the line I ... uh ... I stopped being your father and I ... I became your, your drill sergeant. So when you said that you wanted to go away to school, all I could think about, my only thought was, that you were gonna be alone. Vulnerable. Sammy, it just... it never occurred to me what you wanted. I just couldn't accept the fact that you and me -- We're just different.“

And guess what, Sam admits seconds later: „We're not different. Not anymore. With what happened to Mom and Jess... Well we probably have a lot more in common than just about anyone.“

Season 1 episode 21: „I want to stop losing people we love. I want you to go to school, I want Dean to have a home. I want....I want Mary alive. It's just....I just want this to be over.“

John literally on the show in person, Jeffrey Dean Morgan Season 1, admits that he didn't want ANYTHING OF WHAT HAPPENED, AND WHAT HE HAD TO DO TO HAPPEN!!!!

Sure, Sam suggested to Dean that John's just „working overtime on Miller Time shift. He'll stumble back in sooner or later“ in the very first episode but we never see John drink alcohol, for all he's on screen in season one, ONCE. (1x1) Suggesting that John did have a drinking problem but somewhere between Sam going off to college and the pilot he kicked that habit.

Sure, Sam is clearly vindictive BUT, when faced with a kid with a clearly abusive father, he also says that, „Well, it coulda gone a whole other way after Mom. A little more tequila and a little less demon hunting and we coulda had Max' childhood. All things considered, we turned out okay. Thanks to him.“ (1x14)

We see him cry on multible occasions in season one and two, we see him hug both Sam and Dean and tell BOTH OF THEM that he is proud of them. Heck, he couldn't shut up about how proud he was of them. Like Jerry told Sam in 1x4 „Well, he was real proud of you. I could tell, He talked about you all the time.“ He kept Sam's soccer trophie, and Dean's first sawed off. He fucking died to safe Dean.

Yeah, he told Dean that he'd have to kill Sam if he goes evil but...

Let's take into consideration season 4 and 5, and John wasn't all too wrong for telling Dean this. Even if we ignore all that, as John probably didn't have the full picture, John didn't knew the extend of Sam's powers. As is always said, „With great power comes great responsibility“. We have seen in comics, shows, movies, all over pop culture and history, how easily great power can corrupt, don't matter how nice and righteous that person is.

Let's take into consideration what was added in season 4 and 5: Like John having another family, the fact that cupid had to get him and Mary together, Mary making a deal with Azazel, the few demons (not even all of them) Lucifer showed Sam who had been put into his life by yellow eyes; even that just adds more credence to the already established character.

Of course John was bound to have flings after Mary, you can't expect a widower to just be celibate forever. And it wasn't even that he bailed on her, he literally didn't know there was a child until twelve years later.

And considering John's erratic 'work schedule' and how little we know of Kate, maybe it was her that wanted John not to have much contact to her son. The whole situation with Adam isn't exactly clear, and told through the eyes of a ghoul. Plus, we all saw where John's decision to leave Adam in the dark about the supernatural had him end up (namely killed by a ghoul).

The fact that cupid had to get John and Mary together only gives more ammunition for my argument that John was only working with what was given to him. Pretty much everyone from hell to heaven was meddling in his life.

Getting ahead with headcanons here but, for all we know John and Mary would've never ended up together; for all we know Mary was a lesbian and John was bi; for all we know they could've still worked out without cupid's help. Who knows? We don't because heaven took that decision away from both John and Mary.

The fact that Mary made a deal with Azazel to safe John's life in exchange for Azazel to be able to enter her home in ten years time, again, caused something to happen down the line that affected John and the boys that John had no control over.

And I gotta thank Lucifer for his part, because it gives EVEN MORE credence as to why John couldn't give Dean and Sam a normal life. He reveals SOME of the people Azazel planted into Sam's life that were actually possessed by demons.

„LUCIFER: Look closely. None of these little devils look familiar to you? SAM: That's Mr. Bensman... One of my grade-school teachers. LUCIFER: And that's your friend Doug from that time in East Lansing. And Rachel... your prom date. Sam Winchester, this is your life. Azazel's gang – watching you since you were a rugrat, jerking you around like a dog on a leash. I know how you feel about them. Me too. So, what do you say you and I blow off a little steam?“ (5x22)

A few episodes earlier we found out that his friend Brady, the one that introduced him to Jess, was actually possessed by a demon, and the one that fucking killed her.

„BRADY (chuckles): Brady hasn't been Brady in years. Not since, oh... middle of our sophomore year?

SAM: What?

BRADY: That's right. You had a devil on your shoulder even back then. All right, now, let it all sink in.

SAM: You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch! (Sam approaches Brady, Dean holds him back) You introduced me to Jess!

BRADY: Ding, ding! I think he's got it!“ (5x20)

All of this paints a clear picture for me, of a man that got played by fate and heaven and hell and was only trying to play the cards all of them dealt him to the best of his ability. Did he fuck up along the way, yes, did he show remorse for that and did he wish he could've given Sam and Dean a better life, Yes.

I completely understand people liking one character and disliking another, even projecting onto characters I get. And I get that people's life experiances lead them to different conclusions.

But it pisses me off so much that I can't go into the 'John Winchester' tag without having to read some shit as fuck take on John.

I have to read people saying that he never told Dean he was proud of him and that the only time he did so he was possessed by Azazel. Which isn't even true, but a motherfucking lie.

Season 2, episode 1; when John WASN'T POSSESSED ANYMORE he said to Dean: „You know, when you were a kid... I'd come home from a hunt. And after what I'd seen... I'd be wrecked. And you... You'd come up to me... you'd put your hand on my shoulder, and you'd look me in the eye. You'd say, "It's okay, Dad." Dean. I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to say that to me. I should've been saying that to you. You know, I put... I put too much on your shoulders. I made you grow up too fast. You took care of Sam, and you took care of me. You did that. And you didn't complain, not once. I just want you to know... that I am so proud of you.“

I have to read people forget or disregard that John was literally a righteous man. Alastair tried to break John and John didn't break for a century and then clawed his way OUT OF HELL TO SAFE HIS SONS IN 2x22. John must've had righteousness in heaven (which would come through faith in Jesus) and righteousness on earth (which would come through living through the commandments) as long as that's what the writers meant with 'righteous man'.

I have to read stuff John would apparently do only because we learn in 'Dark side of the Moon' that John and Mary's marriage wasn't all sunshine and rainbows and that John even moved out for a period. Even though we don't know who caused that fight and what it was about, literally it could've been Mary's fault and John only left to cool off. And even if not, marriages aren't just sunshines and rainbows. Fights happen, bad stuff is worked out. That would be true even without the cupid spell.

I have to read someone projecting their experiance with their father onto John. I have to read about someone saying John would've been such a dick because he was in the military and fought in the vietnam war, and we all know that's what all sodiers back then were (dicks). I have to read about how homophobic and transphobic John obviously was. I have to read about how much John would've been racist to Sam and Dean if they'd been mixed.

John was born in 1954, he has to be homophobic and transphobic and racist and bigoted and everthing you can think of. It can't be possible for someone to be born during that time and not be, right. (I hope you recognize the sarcasm)

Everybody is screaming 'child abuse' as loud as they can without taking into account the unique world those characters inhabit and the situation fate, heaven and hell put John and the boys into.

Dean could dig himself out of his grave because John used to bury them alive and had them dig their way out of a coffin as training!!!? Are yall good?? Literally what did your parents do to you, what went wront in your life that you think shit like this?!

And I get it, you can headcanon all you want. I myself headcanon John as bi and that Azazel knew and used this fact.

The writers did John so dirty in later seasons, and I'm not even alone in this, JDM agrees with me.

„But it always bugged me that the John that I played is different than the John that has been portrayed since I haven't been around. I really wanted the opportunity to be able to come back and make amends in a way and try to fix the sullied name of this character. But more than that, it's three friends, life lived. It feels like we've been friends for a lifetime now, getting to reunite in a place that we love and that we met and do what we do and I think that is super cool. So not only does John win in getting to come back and see his boys and Mary again and hopefully make some amends, it's just as cool for me, the actor, to be able to come back and see everybody.“

I'm sorry, but if Snape fans are allowed to be pissed about people suggesting Snape would've been creeping on Harry if he had been female and looked like Lilly, I can be pissed about everybody and their grandma in this fucking fandom painting John in the worst light possible.

JDM created such a great character with depth and who was interesting, even in season 4 and 5 they were still respectfull to his character, but the later seasons were just *throws up *

And I mean, I get it, I disregard canon too. Like, I disregard everything after season 5, that's Sam hallucinating in hell to me. Sometimes even after season 3, cause I don't feel like dealing with the angels, and cas and destiel and all that.

I get it, I get it, I get it.

But I too have the right to be pissed off about the way people like to shit on my fav.

Long story short, I love John and how complex and grey his character is and I HATE IT how simple and 'black and white' people wanna make him out to be. I wanna punch a bitch. I wanna throw hands right now.

#supernatural #spn #john winchester #john winchester defense #john winchester defense squad #I am heated #I literally wanna throw hands right now #I wanna be understanding of you guys #but yall are *tears at hair *#I don't get yall

If The Robot Trains Characters were Teachers

Lesson plans done? Check. Grades put in? Check! Robot Trains? Not check! Ok, time for Robot Trains!

So I’m thinking...if the characters on Robot Trains were teachers, what subject would each teach? (Of course, why wouldn’t I be thinking about that? What else did you think I was thinking about, while making the lesson power points for the week? Poetry and figurative language!? Pshaw!)

Alf: Math

Alright, this is going by temperament not necessarily area of expertise but I’m going to say that Alf would teach math. First of all, Math teachers are usually very practical, plus their grading is very easy because it’s all objective right or wrong answers. No essays to grade, so they have a lot of free time to volunteer for projects around the school so they’re very admired by everybody and kind of come off as overachievers. Math teachers in general also have a very low tolerance for B.S. and will object very bluntly if you are wrong about something. Probably has enough free time to coach a sport on the side.

Selly: Science

For Selly, I’m going to go with science because science teachers get to plan fun, hands-on lessons that incorporate students’ interests. Though, be careful what you wish for, having your interests incorporated in a science lesson can give you a new perspective that suddenly makes them seem off putting. You’ve never seen a giant cake incorporated into a science lesson? Also, science teachers are the most likely to have a fun and adorable class pet.

Alternative position: school nurse. Injured in gym class, or perhaps fell out of your seat after the English teacher told you multiple times to stop tipping it backwards? Nurse Selly can fix you right up. Why is there a yorkie hiding under the school nurse’s desk? Trust us, it’s a special yorkie that is trained to sniff out near-nearsightedness, hearing-deficits, head-lice, scoliosis, and pre-diabetes).

Kay: P.E. Teacher and Track Team Coach

The coaches are gregarious, competitive, and beloved by all. Thinks his sport is way better than the one the math teacher coaches on the side. A little impatient and inattentive. Has a bit of memory loss from a head injury but it doesn’t affect his charisma any.

Duke: I.T. Support

This is again, by temperament not necessarily area of expertise and I can say with authority from my four years as a teacher, Duke has the temperament of a tech guy.

So, if the volume on your Smart Board isn’t working or your computer won’t power up, Duke will stop by your classroom and fix your problem but won't stick around for small talk.

He spends most of his time in his office. ...Wait...why is his desk in the server room? Did H.R. forget to assign him an actual office?

He’s a little rough around the edges and I heard he skateboards to work. He's capable of a lot more though his job mostly consists of toggling switches and fixing problems that wouldn't have happened if people has just listened to him in the first place.

No one really trusts him since he returned from administrative leave after having a freak-out wherein he threw gym teacher’s P.C. at his head. H.R. assures us the incident was caused by a medical condition entirely out of his control and that the situation is resolved now. Anyhow, the gym teacher is buddy buddy with him again at least.

But can you really trust a guy like that? Plus, I heard he gave the culinary arts teacher poisonous mushrooms...?

Duck- Theater Arts

Hear me out, I know Jeffrey has the clapperboard on his back and is all “Cut!” but Duck is clearly theater arts teacher material. Have you met a theater arts teacher?

He laughs easily, cries easily, (and if the condition in which his Other World self left Other World Kay as vengeance for his betrayal is any indication, he most likely has a flair for the dramatic).

He’s also got a close and seemingly unlikely friendship with the gym coach because:

A) they’re both electives teachers so they wind up in all the same meetings

B) He’s probably the only one the P.E. coach doesn’t feel threatened by/ competitive towards

and

C) The P.E. coach can help the theater arts teacher with classroom management. Teachers who come off as a bit silly may wind up with an unruly classroom but students will behave if they know the coach would be unhappy with them.

Victor: Administration

As I’ve alluded to before, Victor is most like a dean or assistant principal in that, he’s the guy you call if shit’s about to go down. He’s well respected, powerful and authoritative. You want to stay on his good side. If someone’s acting a fool, page the office and they’ll send him right down.

Jeffrey: History

I’m gonna go with history for Jeffrey because he has all those archive tapes saved and because he has the temperament of a history teacher. They’re usually pretty chill and can speak with authority on...matters of the past. And they’re usually the oldest teachers in the school. Did you see him, sitting there on a ledge drinking coffee(?) while Kay and Janne cavorted around fountain plaza? Genial and contemplative, serious when the situation calls for it, that’s how social studies teachers are, generally.

Janne: English Language Arts

Did you nearly forget Janne even existed!? Of course you did! She’s the English language arts teacher! Not considered nearly as cool as the Robot Trains teachers. Most likely overloaded by administration with busywork that it is difficult to see the point of. Probably also forced to enforce rules and conventions that seem pointless.

Least likely to be away from her post. While everyone else is off in the library after school eating cake at Martha’s retirement party, Janne is still in her classroom filling out pointless data collection paperwork, completing overly complicated lesson plan forms, or grading essays in a way that allegedly prepares students for standardized tests but completely takes all fun out of writing. Most likely extremely board. Lowest job satisfaction, and cannot remember why she went into teaching this subject in the first place.

Plus, from my experience on Language Arts teams, many language arts types are also somewhat petty and controlling towards their teammates as well, so from how she reacted to Kay visiting Selly too much I’d say she’s exactly the type.)

(Has this suddenly escalated quickly? Lol... I’m also certified to teach science and art. ...Looking for a new job for next year, lol >_<)

Alright folks, there you have it. The Faculty and Staff of Train World Secondary school I guess, lol.

Do u think that maybe Rio brought the iron with him at the end of 2.04 because he thought Beth would hv told dean about their bathroom break?it seems he was surprised when dean didn't attack him right away so he ask beth if she didn't tell him yet, he came ready to beat dean or a car. Also in 2.05 the first bar scene Rio is all puppy down eyes for Beth, he looks at her with so much longing and proceeds to ask her for another bathroom break. He asks if he can have her again.

This might be a slightly controversial opinion, but I’m pretty sure Rio found the tire iron at Boland Motors. It’d make more sense, I think, for them to have one there than for Rio to bring one from home, and tbh I kind of love the thought of Rio exploring the place and making himself at home while Dean sat oblivious in his office.

I’m not entirely sure if he came expecting a fight, but it was a very deliberate choice on his part to come to Boland Motors (he’d never been there before after all) and while Dean was working no less (with the exception of the S1 finale / S2 opener, he’s never really associated with Dean). I think Rio did want some sort of confrontation with Dean, but I also think it was more about staking a claim - it was his money that had saved Boland Motors after all, and they all knew it, but, of course, it was also about finally getting Beth.

I think Rio saw that bathroom break as more of a turning point than Beth did (at least in the moment of it all), and so the scene at the dealership was more about him pushing Beth into the light than anything else - making it so she couldn’t hide the scope of their association, even if she could still hide the depth of their connection.

And in terms of all of that? Well, look, I mean, the way in which Beth fucked Rio in 2.04 was a really blatant fuck you to Dean, and I think Rio heard that loud and clear. So yes, I think he probably figured Dean might have realised (lol), or that Beth either used it against him, or guiltily told him. I think he was a bit surprised that Dean didn’t know, and yeah, I think he did care too. But do I think he went in intending to use the tire iron? I don’t know! I think picking it up in the first place would’ve been more about avoiding using his gun given it’d be a sure fire way to escalate the situation and make Dean panic given the way it was last used, whereas the tire iron seems slightly more innocent (or at least less loaded in every sense of the word).

As for Rio’s puppy dog eyes in 2.05? For sure! That guy is all in his feelings, haha, although I do think he was also playing it up to get Beth where he wanted her again too.

Taglist

Masterlist / Dean Winchester Masterlist

It had been 48 hours since you had left the bunker, 36 hours since Dean started the impala to find you. Baby had been running ever since.

Fatigue was starting to get to him as his phone pierced the silence in the passenger seat. Shaking off his nerves from the interruption, he looked at the caller I.D.

Sam.

“Yeah? What’s going on?”

“A lot actually,” Sam sighed on the other end. Dean could only imagine his brother, a stoic look etched into his features and his free hand rubbing at his brows. He smirked at the image as Sam continued. “We have Rowena, she’s working with Charlie to make a usable codex.” Sam paused to clear his throat. “Tensions are high between them to say the least.”

Dean chuckled, “I’m sure.”

“Charlie can’t stand Rowena. It’s taking everything in both Cas and I to keep her from ripping Rowena’s throat out.” Sam chuckled softly on the other end over the awkward situation they all were currently in.

“Hey, I don’t know if that would exactly be a bad thing. A witch without a throat can’t do much, can they?”

Sam let out a breathy laugh, “Probably not.” He paused, listening to someone. Presumably Cas. Dean could hear a frustrated sigh leave his brother through the phone.

“Hey, Sammy.”

“Yeah, Dean?”

“I know you’re busy. Go deal with whatever you guys got going on over there. I’m going to keep looking for Y/N. I’ll call you when I find her.”

“Okay. Dean, you’ll find her. Don’t worry.”

“Hmph, thanks.” Dean pulled the phone from his ear and hit the red end call button.

As he threw his phone back onto the passenger side of the seat, a red blur sped past him, causing him to slam on the brakes. Was that Mae? He threw Baby into reverse, hoping that the sleek classic car he had seen was in fact Mae.

He could have cried tears of joy when he saw the half-hidden ‘67 Malibu behind the grungiest motel in Kansas. Putting Baby in drive, he swung into the parking lot.

It took a hundred dollars and some physical coercion to get the motel owner to tell him what room you were staying in, but he got the room number. That’s all that mattered.

He walked towards room 37 with key in hand, nerves building, and a pit in his stomach. Quietly sliding the key into the lock, he turned it slowly, not wanting to alert you of his presence.

As he opened the door, you were passed out on crimson satin sheets. A thin layer of sweat kissed your skin, causing fly away hairs to stick to your forehead. The way the room looked, and the sheets tangled around you, you hadn’t had a great last couple of nights. Dean remembered the types of dreams the Mark would leave him with. They were never pretty.

But, as he watched you sleep, his heart swelled. Even though the Mark was, causing nightmares, you still looked serene and beautiful while you slept. He didn’t have the heart to wake you, at least not yet, seeing how little sleep you seem to have gotten.

He walked around the room, tidying things up quietly as you slept. He didn’t know what to expect when you would wake up. Would you scream at him? Would you be thankful he came? Would you tell him you didn’t want to be around him anymore? That question stung as he thought about it. He never wanted you to leave, he wanted you to stay. He needed you.

He loved you.

He sat in the chair against the wall that faced your bed. He knew the only way to keep you around, to let them help you, was to tell you how he felt.

Since the day you picked up Mae, Dean knew that you were going to steal his heart, in more ways than one. He had never met a woman as, in his words, awesome as you. You weren’t born into this life, you chose this. You developed powers to help people. Yeah, he and Sam stopped the apocalypse, but that seemed so minute to him compared to everything you had done in the 7 years you had been in this life.

You woke up with a hoarse scream, startling Dean from his thoughts. He rushed to the bed, “Y/N? You okay?”

You squinted at him, not sure what you were really seeing. Is he really here? “Dean?” you breathed, chest heaving.

He smiled softly, “Yeah, Y/N. It’s me.”

Your brows furrowed in confusion as you wiped the sweat from your forehead, “Wha- How-? How did you find me?”

Dean chuckled, “You didn’t hide Mae as well as you thought.”

You grumbled and untangled yourself from the sheets.You got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. You stood in front of the sink, looking at your disheveled appearance as Dean appeared in the mirror behind you.

He leaned against the door frame and watched your reflection, “Why did you leave?”

You sighed, turning away from the sink to face him. You sat on the edge of the sink and crossed your arms against your chest, “Because the Mark makes me dangerous, Dean. You even said it yourself.”

Dean’s head hung low, “I didn’t mean it like that, Y/N.”

“Oh really? Then how did you mean it?” You retorted.

He sighed as he at you. You could almost see the wheels turning in his head as the expression changed on his face. “You were just reckless, Y/N.” He pushed off the door jamb and walked closer to you, “I don’t care if I die. I never have. But the way I watched you hunt a couple days ago? I saw that you didn’t care what happened to you either, and I couldn’t handle that.”

“What do you mean ‘you couldn’t handle that’?”

He took a small step, putting mere inches between you two. “You’re too important to me, Y/N. I can’t lose you.” He paused, rubbing at the back of his neck, “Because of the Mark, if you die, you turn into a demon. A-And, I don’t know what I would do if that happened.”

You ran a hand through sweat dampened and knotted locks, “What do you mean Dean?”

He grabbed your hands softly, lacing his fingers through yours as he closed the remaining distance between you. He stared at his hands in yours, “What I’m saying is,” looking back towards you, “I love you, Y/N.” You looked at him, wide-eyed and mouth slightly agape. Your shocked silence sent the wrong message to him, “I understand if you don’t fee-.”

You cut him off by fervently pressing your lips against his. You snaked your arms around his neck as his wrapped around your waist. You could feel all the tension leave his body as the kiss deepened.

For once, since you had taken the Mark, you had felt normal. Like a school girl kissing the popular kid in school. You didn’t feel the need to kill as your lips melded with Dean’s, his moving in sync with yours.

Dean broke the kiss, resting his forehead against yours with closed eyes, “Please come back home.”

You took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Okay.”

You reluctantly pulled away to, gather the rest of your things and put them in Baby’s trunk. Dean refused to let you pack up Mae because you could leave again. If he had your things, at least in his mind, it would deter you from leaving again.

You diligently followed Dean home and you could see him check his mirrors frequently for you until you reached the tunnel for the bunker.

Dean grabbed your bags as you parked Mae. “You know I can get my own bags, right?”

He smiled, “I know, but I wanted to grab these for you.”

You rolled your eyes and walked into the bunker, “Whatever, Winchester.”

You could hear him snicker behind you as you walked through the door. You called out over your shoulder once you hit the hallway towards the bathroom, “I’m going to shower real quick, Dean.”

You could hear a mumbled ‘Okay’ as you slipped into the bathroom. You cranked the hot water handle and undressed quickly. Steam began to fill the cool room as you stepped into the shower.

The warm water ran over your body, releasing some of the tension from your muscles. The Mark was becoming more powerful, no matter what type of suppression spells you used for its effects. You were constantly looking for a fight. Ready to kill.

You were beginning to worry if you’d be able live in peace with the Mark.

Sighing, you stepped out of the shower, refusing to let the silence of the shower make you think what could happen. Wrapping a towel around yourself, you opened the door to the bathroom and walked to your room. Dean was inside, placing your spell ingredients neatly along your shelves.

You stifled a laugh as he turned towards you, his eyes grew wide and he almost dropped the jar of cats-eye shells when he saw you in just a towel. “You didn't have to do this Dean. I could have unpacked.”

He collected himself quickly and cleared his throat, “I-I know. I just wanted to help out.”

You smiled, “Well, thank you.”

You walked towards your dresser, Dean eyeing you as you did. “I’m going to get dressed. So, um.” You tugged at your towel slightly, “You can stay or go. Up to you.”

“Uhh…” Dean’s face turned a vivid shade of pink and a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. “I’ll, uh,” he placed the jar of cats-eye shells on the shelf, “I’ll go. I have to call Sam anyway.”

You nodded and began to shuffle through your drawers for clothing. You could hear Dean on the phone in the hallway while you dressed. You opened your door, ready to join him when you heard him exclaim, “Charlie’s gone?”

You slipped back into the confines of your room, listening intently to his conversation. “She left with the codex?” Dean said a bit quieter. “Oh, she left to figure out the codex, because that makes it better,” he scoffed.

Codex? What Codex?

“Well, we need to find her Sammy. We need her to get the Mark off of Y/N.”

You bit your lip as you listened. They’re still trying to remove the Mark. You took a deep breath to calm down. You didn’t need your anger to bubble up now when Charlie is in trouble.

You stepped out into the hallway, Dean’s back to you with the phone still at his ear. “Let’s go get Charlie.”

Dean turned around, regret written all over his face realizing you heard him. “Y/N…”

You held a finger up at him, “Zip it, Winchester. Charlie is in trouble. We help her first and I’ll deal with you two afterwards.” You pushed past him, towards the map room where your weapons bag was waiting.

Dean caught up to you as he was hanging up the phone, “Sammy, Y/N and I are going to go look for Charlie.”

You grabbed your bag without a word and stalked towards the garage. You threw your things into Mae and turned around to see an incredulous Dean standing next to Baby. Rolling your eyes, you scoffed, “Listen Winchester. I’m driving Mae, so either you join me or find your own way.”

His shoulders dropped slightly, defeated by your proposition and flopped into the front seat. Peeling out of the garage, you began your search for Charlie.

----

Sam called to give you information about Charlie’s whereabouts. Dean shoved his phone in his pocket and spoke anxiously, “Blackbird Motel.”

You nodded as you pressed the accelerator further. “We’re close. We’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“Sam said she was panicking. The Stynes-” you shot him a confused look, “-the family who owned the Book of the Damned, were beating down her door, looking for it. If she gets hurt…” He trailed off.

You snapped, “If she gets hurt, it’s your fault.” Your eyes remained on the road as your knuckles turned white on the steering wheel. “You two got her into this mess, and now we may lose her because of it.”

You knew you that hurt him, but you also knew that he knew you were right. You told them not to continue research on getting rid of the Mark, but they didn’t listen, and now you might lose a family member because of it.

An eerie feeling created a pit in your stomach. You knew Charlie wasn’t okay, and you couldn’t figure out why.

You pulled into the parking lot of the motel, not bothering to actually park correctly. You grabbed your pistol and ran towards the motel. A door left ajar caught your attention, and you were terrified your feeling was becoming reality.

You stepped into the room, the door jamb was splintered, furniture was turned over and then your eyes focused on the bathroom door. Ripped off its hinges and cracked in almost half, wood was splintered all over the grungy carpet. “Charlie?” You called out as you walked towards the bathroom.

No answer.

You approached the doorway, seeing blood before you saw her. Contorted in the tub, blood spattered across the tile and all over her.

Charlie was dead.

You turned away and stormed out as Dean approached the bathroom. A broken, “Charlie,” escaped his lips as you ripped your phone out of your pocket. You flung open Mae’s door, apologizing to her for the rough handling, before you dialed Sam’s number.

“Y/N? Did you find her?”

“She’s dead. Get your ass here. Now.” You hung up.

The Mark’s influence was not helping your anger. You seethed in your car until Sam came to the motel. The boys walked on eggshells around you as they wrapped Charlie up, preparing for the hunter’s funeral. You watched them load firewood into a pile and softly placed Charlie in the center of the pit. Tears stung your eyes as you lit the match and threw it at the wood, setting everything ablaze. You stared at the fire, letting the heat fan the anger that was building inside you.

The ride back to the bunker was silent. All hell broke loose as soon as you entered the library.

“Y/N,” Sam pleaded.

You whipped around fast enough to give the boys whiplash. You shoved a finger into Sam’s chest as your blood boiled,your words dripping with venom, “No Sam. Don’t. This is your fault.” You looked towards Dean, “And yours.” You were sure you looked absolutely wild. Luckily your jacket was hiding the faint glow the Mark had when you were this riled up. “This ‘research’ for the cure stops right now.” They tried to speak, to defend themselves, but it only fueled your fire further, “No one else is going to get hurt. Do you hear me?” They just nodded their heads, hoping you would back off.

You turned to walk towards you room but stopped, “IF I find out you two start looking again, you are going to have to deal with me. And I’ll be a hell of a lot worse than whatever will come out of removing this Mark.”

Without waiting for a response, you turned on your heel to your room and slammed the door as hard as you could. You flopped onto your bed and let all your emotions flood your mind. Silent tears flowed down your cheeks as you thought about Charlie. You mourned for what seemed like hours but was merely minutes before exhaustion enveloped you.

----

Dean slid a glass of whiskey across the table to Sam as they sat at the table in the library. “Thanks,” Sam murmured, engrossed in his laptop that sat in front of him.

Dean shook his head, “We’re not stopping, right?”

Sam looked at his brother with determination in his eyes, “Not at all.” His laptop dinged, gaining both their attention. Sam clicked on his email as his brow furrowed, “It’s from Charlie.”

Dean got up from his seat, abandoning his whiskey on the table to look over his brother’s shoulder. “What’s it say?”

Sam let out a breath of relief, “It’s the codex. She must have cracked it before…..” He couldn’t finish that sentence. It would only make it real.

They couldn’t stop now. Not when they were so close.

Supernatural 14x06

it’s me, ya girl, back with the reactions

oooh ticking clock flashback. Lots of backstory reminders

mm that ragtime piano tho. AW cute librarian! Probably going to die or be the main villain huh

“Put the stapler down” me, attempting to look threatening in any situation

THEY’RE CUTE GOSH no he’s probably going to be the one to die :(

Yup

Jack, you wish they were on cool adventures, but honestly no that takes a hot minute.

“I blame me” is the story of your life Dean

The dichotomy of Dean and Sam on this is hilarious. Sam you with the fidget spinner lol

YES JACK you tell him! Dean’s getting the self-blame thrown right in his face and I’m living for Jack standing up for what he believes in and wanting to do good in the world

Sam you precious overprotective dad of a bunch of interdimensional hunters

Jack taking notes is hilarious. Omg those two are the best investigative team. The small town gossip ugh what a cute montage.

Charlie. CHARLIE. I missed you and I love this introspection/observation.

Okay now Dean with “the Talk” and the dad moments. The PIE thank you for this moment.

Jack, what an actor. “Old man.” Omg. No no no okay. Jack. You’re so cute. The charm. You cinnamon roll. You lovely little hero and Dean using a weird creep factor I really don’t know whether he was attempting to be a sleazeball with Jack planning that or whether that was improv and honestly I’m okay with either

Miles is a creep but he’ll probably end up being a victim too tbh - *dies on screen* aaaaand called it.

I’m trying to read all of the books says Charlie, and I am the same. “As long as there’s good WiFi” yup.

HARPER IS SUCH A CUTIE HERE

JACK YOU AWKWARD BABY

Even Charlie calls you a nerd Sam

Oh Jack oh Jack how cute that worked a bit too well huh?

*crashing at the door* Welp now that escalated quickly

And honestly I’m totally for Charlie quitting hunting and occasionally calling in. I also get Sam’s point about social creatures. Ugh I’m torn.

okay zombie time

and heroic little Jack time omg now there’s zombie romance?

“No apparently my dead high school boyfriend attacked us and I forgot” you are the smart side character you were meant to be and I appreciate you

The flies are really uber bothering me. I don’t know why that aspect specifically does but there you go.

OKAY WEIRD GOO BUG THING THAT I AM NOT INTO

we’ve covered the alien bit of Marie’s musical, haven’t we. Was there not an alien bit? This has got to count fight me it looks like something out of Doctor Who when Capaldi’s doctor was going through that weird time loopy labyrinth thingy

“We got creative”, well, don’t hug me I’m scared rn this is the same vibe

(seeing Crimes of Grindelwald trailer and dying cause I wanna see it)

BUT HE’S DEAD THIS IS ROLEPLAY WEIRDNESS I KNEW SHE’D BE A VICTIM OR EVIL SEE

Oh my goodness gracious Jack you are surprisingly an okay actor when the situation calls for it. Your naivety is what really works for you.

Poor zombie boy tho

Sam trying way too hard with the metaphor, true.

“With all the tears and death, it’s worth it.” BEST SAM QUOTE OF THE SEASON SO FAR

Omg is this necromancer girl Harper basically evil Becky for Jack? I can’t handle this

HA Jack got you there Dean

but seriously Jack needs to not be sick please do not kill my baby

SERIOUSLY

JACK

the coughing was way pre-1945 tuberculosis kind of vibes and I was not having it then and the blood on the hand in the way it was was giving me stigmata vibes and NO Jack doesn’t get to die I just know the writers would make it permanent

Overall, not a bad episode for feeling kind of (very) filler/case-related. Emotional talks that worked well. I wouldn’t watch it on its own for the heck of it like I would some episodes (Changing Channels, looking at you) but not one I’d necessarily skip through altogether. Harper was way too sweet not to either get killed or be evil, so yeah, a bit obvious, but her flirting with Jack was just . . . wow. His attempt at being undercover was cute and awkward.

The Sam and Charlie thing felt a bit forced for some reason? but I’ll hand it to both of them, excellent points were made on either side, and Sam’s hopefulness shining through was awesome. They would be the intellectual friends that debate seriously about humanity with Charlie as a cynic and Sam as someone who believes in people ultimately. I don’t know what to do with their actual case - it could just as easily have been a werewolf thing as a weird bug thing imo; they didn’t need new monsters for this. *shrug*

14x07 Trailer:

Jack no you are not allowed to have a mid life crisis and die so soon nope. I swear to your grandfather you are a child this is not okay.

13x07 Watching Notes

Should probably not have multiple scenarios where I snark out loud and then the very next line of dialogue is that snark but innocently delivered.

Heyooo it’s not our Christmas cliffhanger though!

Expectations: It has literally just occurred to me right now sitting down to type out my expectations that this season's *entire* main plot so far has been "the spawn of satan is cuter than we expected".

I'm still trying to wrangle the idea of how you get hours of Buckleming plot twists and slow exposition out of this, although introducing 18 different angles for them to tackle the problem and returning us to the AU world is a good start to have at least 4 plot threads going and hey I feel like this episode is supposed to be a breather for having too many Jack episodes in a row which makes it even funnier that they're gonna have to deal with the absence of something but who knows maybe he will show up before episode 9. If not they may genuinely be tricked into considering narrative negative space in some form or another, at least by the actual omission of Jack from the episode, despite the fact it has to be about him.

There's like at least 3 individual ways each arc might go terribly, and I'm typing this as pre-yoga thoughts while trying to do my NaNoWriMo and I watched Brooklyn 99 already this morning, and essentially I'm pretty much just bracing against "Oh god this new sleep pattern is the worst and it has ruined nearly every episode this season for me" migraines. So I'm just gonna be super chill because the stress of this ridiculous bed at 8pm awake at 5am thing is killing me without bad writing on my favourite show.

So, instead of modelling a worst case scenario, here's a best case one: it's crowded, the pacing is bad, there's some bizarre lines of dialogue and no room for any character interaction and the sneak peek already showed us the sum total of Destiel interaction but in hindsight with the rest of the episode that's actually a plus, and aside from that there's no rape or catastrophic bad decisions or characterisation that just makes our guys look like idiots because the villains aren't that smart and they're still outwitting them or something. Cas wasn't even mentioned in the episode description if I recall and I would like to think that is because he gets Buckleminged in the way where they forget he exists so he's in 2 scenes and just kinda stops at some point and that's the last we hear of him for a few episodes but at least nothing happened to him :P

(It HELPS that the bad decision of the year seems like it should be Jack and Kaia ganging up in 13x09 and this is just a plot filler episode where they can't blow everything up from sheer incompetence, since the main plot is still Jack, and all Buckleming can do is escalate stuff but not so much we find Jack, so they're mostly running free with Lucifer, Michael and Asmodeus on the playground they've been permitted to keep them distracted. On the other hand, that does not lend itself towards 'storytelling structure' whatsoever. So I may derive some fun from mentally re-writing this episode as it goes as well.)

Hi I'm back and I have tea and preemptive paracetamol and look I not do crap like this lightly but the only thing wrong with me is sleep and yoga but glug glug glug down the hatch, I'm not fucking around, migraine. I swear to god if I even see a HINT of you...

I should also mention that my only prep for this episode was watching Tall Tales last night with my mum because we're lightly re-watching season 2 and I thought you know what look how far that fucker has come that he's just one of the show's regular directors now or something. I forgot that completely this morning so I'm amending my expectations (it WAS annoyingly early in the day) to add that Speight hasn't directed a Buckleming yet but I'm interested to see how he handles it.

The episode starts with Mary cheerfully punching Lucifer at least 3 times in the face. I am still extremely proud of her for doing that but overall disappointed that it's led to her banishment to be a Buckleming character this season, which has been a fast way to ruin characters.

We get the entire first minute of the recap in Buckleming POV, aka they write the corny villains - and specifically a lot of Asmodeus point of view, his summary of the situation and what needs doing, having graciously inherited this throne, and comments on where Lucifer is as a sort of trailing off, well that's not my concern if he's gone. Only at the minute mark does the recap flip around to something genuinely ABOUT Jack as we've been seeing him, rather than trying to sell Jack as woooo Lucifer's scaaary son. Suddenly Jack's own identity crisis and him leaving.

Maybe it's just because they were trimming for time, but they cut the "all of you" from "I know I'm going to hurt you" but they also left the focus on Sam. I am mostly amused that by removing the clarification - which has been a theme of the season - it reduces that moment to a bare minimum surface layer, as if to say bye bye writing depth hello random action.

I had a burgeoning theory last year from one episode or another that pretty much everyone is lampooning Buckleming while letting them get on with writing their stuff, and trying to run loops around them in basically any other way.

There was something going on on screen involving a lot of stock footage while I was digging around in my bag looking for my 3DS assuming this was gonna be a Lucifer scene. I still think they're softening him up to kill him, but that's something I have to hope. One of the other non-redemption options is that they need to make him at least halfway manageable if he is gonna end up working with Cas or something. There is something vaguely appropriate matching Buckleming dialogue to Lucifer melodramatics, but unfortunately I really can't give these writers or that character much of a chance so while I'm happy to let them take him to play with over on their bit of the story like a chew toy to keep them off the stuff I like, it is annoying this is all the canon of the show I like >.>

One or the other of Buckleming really really dislikes God and organised religion though, and that does often lend the interesting thing to an episode where for some reason as soon as religion is involved the writing actually gets halfway decent.

One thing Lucifer says that catches my interest is his idea the universe is written without irony, when tbh that has literally been his downfall in season 5, and in general the universe is ironic to the WINCHESTERS to whom the universe is actually happening to, and there's the whole Dean is the centre of the universe thing, and THEN there's Billie's line about how sometimes the universe is poetic, coupled with how Dean got Cas back entirely through dramatic irony. I can't remember if Chuck commented on dramatic irony. Anyway Lucifer sucks, the story doesn't happen to him and he doesn't have the resources to read it. Metatron *thrived* on that sort of thing.

I like the visual of Michael standing with the sun behind him - it gives him absolutely the divine look he'd love to have, and I just wish he didn't have randomly shirtless Lucifer taking up some of that visual. If someone doesn't make a gifset chopping Lucifer out to just enjoy that image, I will make one, perhaps.

Something else to enjoy about this: they locked Mark P in some sort of medieval torture device and no matter how comfy you try and make it, there's obvious limits to that, so I will enjoy that he had to do that.

Michael sees that Lucifer is scared of being locked up and caged, which actually is... accidentally or not... a pretty clever callback, although it wouldn't have killed them to have Michael deduce this on screen, because in 9x18 Dean - Michael's vessel - deduces that Gadreel - a blatant Lucifer parallel in many respects while obviously not in many many others - is terrified of being caged again.

Of course that exchange is one of the single most fascinatingly well-acted exchanges of the entire show which on my umpteenth viewing still knocks me completely flat so it's not a FAIR comparison, but it is an interesting one.

I like that Michael think that the main universe is already paradise - in comparison to his shithole, definitely, because it still has pretty stock footage. Thematically interesting since obviously paradise is a bit of an issue with what people want...

LOL Wanek's ridiculous "concrete bunker" set... The camera pulls back and there's a massive Jesus on the wall and Lucifer's hanging behind him screeching and it's like... That is an inanimate lump of wood and I can see it rolling its eyes at you.

In the earlier moments out here in the AU we saw the church from 8x23 poking up out of the rubble, and whether this is the same one or not NOW, because I think it was a bit too buried to be this one, it conjures the memory of 8x23, and that one was interesting specifically because Jesus wasn't there - the cross had only his hands and feet remaining and the rest had been torn down. Sam was inserted into that empty space because he was doing the big heroic world-saving sacrifice that from one direction of pure irony the episode was named after (since he decided not to do it/the real motives for his sacrifice were way more interesting than him going through with it heroically anyway etc) but it was another Sam and Jesus moment, like in 5x22 where he more straight-forwardly sacrificed himself.

(And jeeze you watch one episode with the guy and now I can't get him out of my head - remembering in 9x18 Gabriel snarking about how he died for their sins and then making one of the few Jesus references on the show. Jesus is usually extremely absent from this show, so actually having him on screen is very interesting)

Anyway I am pretty sure this is almost entirely to remind Lucifer what a great big fucking drama queen he is being about this all and of course he's sacrificing for nothing.

Blah blah promo scene.

They have the photo of Jack from Mia's security camera which means no one has snapped a cute picture of him on their phone yet, Cas included. Disappointing.

Now, I'm pretty hesitant to get into characterisation in BL episodes, and Dean just generically wryly comments on how powerful Jack is which could mean anything but Sam then says he might be covering his tracks and then Cas, who has to be written sympathetic to Jack, comes through the door saying that it could mean Jack is in trouble with the various forces that want to control him. Sam's comment coupled with Cas's interruption seems to make it much more likely that Sam's comment is to be taken as vaguely unnerved/suspicious of what Jack can do, and that he's doing things like that Dean implies. That Jack learned so fast he might be able to cause a fair amount of destruction but conceal it from them and if they're trying to track him, Sam is expecting destruction.

Dean also came from the kitchen with coffees so why is Cas coming from the back of the Bunker... I'm gonna have to assume he was until just now lounging around in Dean's bed and Dean was like I better go get coffee and help Sam and Cas was like yeah but thanks for the 'sorry your son ran away' sex i feel a lot better and Dean was like no problem babe, and probably gave Cas one of those ridiculous shoulder nudges in the most no homo way ever before he got up to find where they threw his underwear an hour earlier, and Cas just kinda chilled while Dean was getting the coffee so as not to be suspicious by piling in on Sam after taking the exact same length break from the search but then they fucked it up and still managed to enter the scene within 30 seconds of each other.

Yeah, that's probably it.

I just saw the list of guest stars wander by and took 3 emergency gulps of my tea at that combo of Osric and for some reason DHJ because file that under genuinely unexpected :P

PS: I know we knew Kevin would be back this year but the fact I managed to find Kevin thematic stuff in the last 2 episodes in a row still feels important to me as storytelling rather than foreshadowing.

Anyway Cas tries to tell Dean the angels don't like him, and Dean volunteering to go with him because "i could go with you" is a thing and they keep doing it to each other and ow

Blah blah we could work a case. Are you serious? I really seriously hope this is not literally Buckleming's thought process about wtf do we do with Sam and Dean this episode after establishing maybe 4-5 other plotlines we need to handle away from them. I hope it turns out to be directly main plot related, whatever they stumble on, but we already now have them in a position where any involvement with the main stuff will be them stumbling on it or it coming to them. See above: ways in which the main characters are automatically made to be stupid. Subtle things, like not being able to imagine a way in which Sam and Dean are resourceful enough to even start to find Jack which doesn't involve googling things.

I mean we have no clue what you're doing with this random witch seeming case, why can't you bring a detail foreward if it's from the main plot to give us a clue. And if it's not, tell us something connected to it which will at least make Sam and Dean interested in it as a lead? Even if they're not right about why, put them on the trail because they're good at their jobs!

Anyway hi Asmodeus? As soon as we clear the promo scene etc I start assuming everyone is Asmodeus

I mean, in this case it literally is. but you can't trust anyone these days.

He needs to have his equivalent scene to sitting around in the Bunker googling, which, which is to say, the same type of minions who brought Crowley or Lucifer news are now coming toadying in to tell Asmodeus news, and the only difference is his name is harder to spell.

He's trying to do the same thing reaching out to Jack that we saw Lucifer trying to do last season, to Dagon. There is always the possibility that Asmodeus just isn't powerful enough to get into Jack's head from this extreme range when he has no idea where he is. Loser.

This minion seems to be mistakenly labelling Jack as "the Jack", maybe not as a mark of respect but more misunderstanding what he is, that he's not a thing, that that's his name...

Asmodeus asks who's protecting Jack, and cut to the image of Jesus again. I don't know about him, but tbh it could just be that Jack is protecting HIMSELF and they've massive underestimated him to do that. Jesus on this show represents a lot more of the personal autonomy saving yourself thing.

Also hey as long as we're not seeing Jack, we're getting that gosh darned hole in the narrative that he represents while he's missing. Is this actually a lesson in subtlety?

Michael meanwhile is enjoying tormenting Lucifer some more because blah blah sole purpose in life and what do you even do when you win.

Lucifer appears to have claimed to be a god in the SPN verse and Michael's like, here you're pathetic, and I'm like, mate, he was pretty pathetic in the main SPN universe too

There's some cool crosses on the walls which are trying to help, bringing light into this church.

Yeah where is Mary anyway - I wasn't gonna ask, but then Lucifer seemed to imply that Michael was keeping her around.

I mean sheesh the easiest way to get Mary around is to just have her in the scene still lurking but then film it as if it's almost entirely from her eyeballs POV if she doesn't have anything else to be doing right now - having her witnessing this theatre as the person from the main SPN world who's come over here.

KEV

Awwww he's gone a wee bit off the rails in this world, seeing as he'd have had to be helping Michael and reading tablets the entire time and also the entire world appears to be destroyed.

I don't know why Lucifer's having a personal reaction to Kevin unless I totally forgot something but they were literally never in the same seasons as each other although weirdly both in 11x21 so obviously must just be angels would know all the prophetsand which one was currently active... Maybe he's just surprised that in the AU Kevin survived even longer than he did in the supposedly better world.

Well there aren't any Winchesters in this one and Lucifer always underestimates them, in this case positively re: likelihood of getting Kevin killed :P

Oh great they're powering down Lucifer a bit. Well that should make him much more irritating.

I mean mostly because everything makes him irritating.

But it means the show wants him around some more but they can't have him at full power because it's just inconvenient so now they're finding a reason to water him down so they can have him around dragging his heels and complaining. I suppose it might make some comparisons to Cas, who's on a smidgen of left-over grace, but again, see also: eye rolling wooden Jesus, there's no way you can redeem Lucifer and not by comparing him to Cas.

Metatron got some sort of treatment but he was nowhere near like Cas even when he was done being redeemed and he still had to be killed off doing a heroic thing rather than let him stick around.

I'm just grinding my teeth and I already got part of the way through the next scene but UGH

So hey thinking of random versions of other characters why is DHJ's magnificent facial hair making a cameo return role on this side of the interdimensional nosense? You can't just grow a beard and start hunting witches on the down low on the winchesters' turf.

I'm assuming including DHJ's names in the credits was specifically some sort of nonsense now

specifically monsters going around looking like other things.

Maybe it was a shapeshifter Ketch punched a few weeks ago. It's only been a few weeks since he died, you know.

Maybe it's Asmodeus.

Maybe it's maybelline

The plot reason for the beard had better be hilarious.

I like Daniella the Beret Witch. For some reason I thought she looked tons like the witch Sam and Dean were looking at on the CCTV but when I went back to look I actually spotted her in the background watching them and waiting to make her move, and she doesn't look like the one on the CCTV at all so I guess my brain clocked her and filed her away because she was sitting around in a huge scarf, sunglasses and a beret and my brain didn't want me to not pay attention to her in case she was useful.

Kevin's weirdly pristine but still grey hoodie is making me giggle. He looks like the AU has barely touched him and Michael's even dirty and ragged.

I'm not sure I even want to touch random morality discussions from Buckleming. Lucifer says Michael is pure evil, Kevin says "aren't you Satan?" and Lucifer really hasn't done anything ever to make us actually want to root for him. Like sure Michael is the much worse bigger bad in the show's rankings but that doesn't make Lucifer less quanitifiably evil. Michael's way more complex because Lucifer is the big cartoon evil that Sam had to originally fear, the "what if I am actually evil" character mirror that obviously Sam isn't but it meant Lucifer needed no character complexity other than whiny manipulative interpretations of how he'd been mistreated where he could protest he had a side. Michael is waaaay more complex just in the like 2 episodes he actually talks in season 5 because he's "what if Dean was the big bad" and he's not evil, he's just 100% black and white morality rigid "good" in the sense of punishing evil, to the point of not questioning an order to kill his brother, and not even having a particularly "cool motive still murder" approach like Cain, but literally just like well okay then I guess I will kill my brother. How to make DEAN evil, or to personify the darkness that lives in him.

I mean I am massively simplifying but dear lord Buckleming if you read my notes this is the baseline direction you need to be writing these characters from and I am trying to HELP.

I am genuinely feeling like you're mistaking "apparent fan favourite because they make a lot of memes about him, Lucifer" as "this must mean people genuinely like him because he's Lucifer" and any possible reason I would find him interesting as a villain who was held up to just kinda exist and be himself doing his awful things contrasted to Michael who was just around existing and doing his awful things, is all just draining away down the toilet. Like you've got Lucifer lodged in there and you're flushing and flushing around him >.>

Anyway I'm going to take this entire scene as 100x more ironic than it was probably originally intended to be, that Kevin is not exactly right about Michael (and lol, Michael being the Dean parallel just kinda using Kevin all the time for random spells and always having him on the hook for doing things for them) but he's sure not wrong about Lucifer, Lucifer protesting Michael is evil because he's mistreating him and has destroyed this planet sure isn't WRONG but it's not a "so therefore I must be right"

And I kind of think the level of subtlety this writing is at is that "Michael is a dick and therefore Lucifer looks better in comparison"

But that's not how any of this works

*insert Jesus eyeroll*

*pats poor overworked manic AU!Kevin's hair*

I wonder if he's actually going to be able to do it

it would be HILARIOUS if they waste Lucifer's grace on this

Hey he did it, I'm proud of you AU!Kev. He always manages to do the thing :P

Okay not good that Lucifer has just been thrown back because A: Mary is still trapped over there, I assume for the much more important emotional arc stuff to do with rescuing her especially in the parallel to getting Cas back and all this stuff for Sam's arc and all

But UGH the writing of Lucifer is just really annoying me on so many levels and punting him back into the main SPN universe depowered and humbled by his brother, just annoys me so much.

Like I don't know how much more less enthused I have to be about Lucifer having struggles.

Boo hoo

Last season Dean got mistaken for homeless after he got hit with the memory spell, and was offered cash to make him go away.

he handled it considerably better than Lucifer.

I am just gonna assume this random woman is Asmodeus.

Lucifer probably ought to go grab that cash he was offered...

Oh wait here's Asmodeus, torturing some poor bloke called Karl who apparently works at the motel from last week.

I'm impressed they managed to track Jack that far, tbh

The question is, is there an actual memo that the Winchesters are camped in an old, heavily warded, impossible to map or locate MoL bunker, or is that something you only find out after you tail them for a bit? I mean Jack might not be there any more either but it would be a start :P

I feel extra skeevy about this scene because Asmodeus is being a total moron for starters by not checking Karl's level of clued in to this, and so he's this white plantation owner coded guy in his shiny white suit, torturing a black guy who isn't even on the same level as him for info he doesn't have, and could in no way be resonably expected to know. So it's doubly cruel. Although in some respects Asmodeus's coding makes this gratuitous violence a commentary, just like Buddy and Dave being collosal douches to women in the last few episodes was called out in many ways simply by their existence and coding as collosal douches.

Still not nice to watch on screen, especially without even more specific reference to Asmodeus's doucheyness because the stupidity of this dialogue is not helping.

Like did the minions just bring Karl to him and say hey we tracked the Winchesters and Jack this far, he might know more?

Like...

This is the sort of basic intelligence test fail here, that they're not over-thinking this scene in the specific details that you need to not have your main villain parade around displaying total idiocy over.

Like why the Winchesters would book into a motel under "Sam and Dean Winchester and Jack the Nephilim" and then Karl would know that and know what that means.

You can't just drag a normy into the Hell Main Office and torture them for info about Jack when they have no clue who that is.

He literally

can shapeshift

into anything

Go to the Stampede Motel, turn into a pretty girl in a low cut top, and lean on the motel check in desk until you know what you were after.

I'm no longer impressed they found Karl, I'm AMAZED.

Why did they kiiiiill him

Lol Asmodeus is so hammy

what's he sensing

Has he figured out Lucifer is back?

Meanwhile: Sam and Dean voluntarily go to a creepy cabin in the woods with a witch. This is not quite as stupid as Asmodeus was just being.

I am loving the plot development that David Hayden Jones has returned to the show as himself to find Rowena. Like dammit, you were a really cool character I had no interaction with but we coulda had some screen magic for all you know. You may or may not be in this episode as a surprise appearance which as Lizzy said putting MY name in the credits is the "hey it's that guy" fuckery to distract from the fact there's some bigger fuckery at foot (like... aside from the fact I was back to back with OSRIC FUCKING CHAU) because you don't *just* randomly put my very recognisable name in the credits at the start of the episode with Osric unless it's because something's up. So heeey here I am, I'm looking for Rowena, because dangit Ruthie deserves another chance to be in this show.

Daniella is also really slow to realise that Sam just said she was going to be bait. It took until Dean repeated it for her to realise.

She's really pretty though.

She starts choking like several moments before the gas hits her

... is that DHJ?

I mean we're getting a close up on his face but I literally. Do. Not. Recognise. Him.

I remember rambling at some point in my watching notes in season 12 when his face was being particularly hilarious after I'd seen con photos of DHJ that Ketch is one of the most effective character disguises I've ever seen for an actor's face. TBH it's the same weird different face thing I get from Alex Calvert - that he's all clean shaven and filmed as a wee nougat child in the show but he has an instagram of unrecognisable smouldering glamour shots, often with scruff. DHJ has a beard and that's his face, and part of the Ketch look was being clean shaven and crammed in a tight collar which is an incredibly British upper class twit look, and even in other clothes later the illusion lasted... But add a beard and stop grooming his hair and he just turns into some other person entirely.

Ah well, Dean gets to punch DHJ with Ketch's accent again which must be satisfying for him.

Did they take DHJ back to the Bunker? Really?

Oh he doesn't have the tattoo

LOL he's his "twin" "brother"... Obviously.

Yeah okay whatever you say, DHJ.

elizabethrobertajones Hey what if DHJ was actually Rowena

mittensmorgul oh god, don't give them ideas

ALSO if you have an "evil twin brother" you would generally assume that this sort of thing would happen a lot and you'd try and clarify sooner? I bring up my twin like every other time I talk about myself.

Also this is a ridiculous concept I refuse to engage with

I mean, thematically, wowsers. Fits right in with Buddy and Dave and things that look like other things

ALSO DHJ has been going around torturing witches so it's not like he's been the good twin

ALSO WHY IS HE HERE?

Apparently he's a hitman hunter

I suppose it's kind of like Bela but I do find it really strange.

Like how does anyone even know to hire him if no one knows monsters exist? Who is pointing him at these things?

Insinuating himself into situations like Bela to get work maaay be a way to do it, like if the Winchesters showed up in town and immediately told the sheriff what was up and then offered their fee as contractors or something. Pfft.

Pfft.

And then he's like "we hunters" because he's trying to bond with them or something

To google!

It's convenient he kept a beard his whole life

Oh okay Sam stole hard drives from the BMoL and is using their actual data.

I like the side by sides of their report cards where the prop people literally did them backwards from each other. "*More effort required!" they say about Alexander, and "Excellent work!" for Arthur.

Dean isn't buying it

LOL they dumped Ketch's corpse into the waste canal.

Do you want a haunted Bunker? That's how you get a haunted Bunker.

Anyway Dean is like NOPE don't believe it and Sam's like... there's so much proof... and then he goes in to question DHJ again and DHJ is like... you literally saw me get shot in the head last season, you don't trust that? And Sam's like no I had to concede that Dean had a point that we really can't trust anything and I guess Cas did just randomly come back or something and we have horrific problems with the white men on this show coming back again for completely random reasons that make no sense so you had better bloody well actually be re-introducing Rowena into the narrative even more dramatically than the warning Billie gave about the red-headed witch that Dean probably didn't tell me about now come to think of it, but I'd still like to see her again because we had a sort of weird thing we never really talked about going on...

Also are they keeping DHJ in the store room that showed up for the pencil scene but isn't the other store room? It looks like a different part of the Bunker repurposed.

Sam mis-reads Ketch, maybe because he never knew him as well as Mary or even Dean saw him. DHJ is like dude I played him for a year and psychoanalysed him and his crush on Dean in multiple interviews, so trust me when I tell you all his character exposition.

The stuff about being loyal to Heaven - I mean the BMoL - and being a company man echo what Ishim said about old Cas in 12x10

DHJ like, I did so much character work in those interviews, and I never got a chance for Ketch to be sympathetic so let me offer some more insight on him now you have me in the worst interview chair ever.

Also, don't go into pop culture journalism, Sam

"If he were here, he'd admit regret to some of the things he did to your family"

Yeah unless you have a magic twin link (well... not unlikey tbh with random ass canon pulls) you're either Arthur Ketch or just DHJ enjoying doing interviews about Ketch to a twisted and weird level and I'm sort of gonna have to do an intervention on this for him.

CAS

NEW PLAYGROUND

New angel!

mittensmorgul dumas? that's the name the superwiki has linked, but her page is blank

elizabethrobertajones Heh 3 musketeers again first in the off-brand nougat now that

"If we had him he wouldn't be imprisoned he'd be put to work"

SHE WANTS NEW ANGELS

I don't freakin blame her

But Jack shouldn't be "put to work" either - he would have to want to do it.

Awww Cas getting protective over Jack before I'm done typing that of course this means Jack would be forced to do it and the angel says "No other choice" because of course she does.

As usual heaven isn't comic book evil but its purposes in the name of "good" are super shady. Even if Jack was pure evil himself, Heaven enslaving a powerful nephilim for its own purposes would be dodgy.

Btw I am still torn about Cas's compulsion to care about Jack but on the other hand I am really enjoying Cas generally existing and being alive - and wait a minute she didn't even ask about how he was doing that - so I'm pretty much enjoying the surface level about Cas and Jack right now. Because of course I see the good in Jack that he DOES need protecting, so however Cas ended up on this, at least he is doing the right thing and taking the right stance.

"Castiel, he's not your pet. He belongs to all of us."

Uhoh, Cas is probably going to get grabbed.

*surprise*

Hey he did pretty well considering he's fighting 3 angels and is much weaker than them.

Oh boy, here's Lucifer. This is gonna go great.

Does Cas or Lucifer need to start this with the "you're supposed to be dead/in the AU" first?

Lol, Cas is the first person in this entire damn episode to actually ask a relevant question, and it's one we already know the answer to

*waves a little flag for Cas though*

Hey and then Lucifer asks about Cas being alive, what do you know.

He then calls Cas "cowboy" and pretends like Cas wouldn't kick his ass.

I am pretty happy about the "cowboy" thing :P

Lucifer has found a tan jacket somewhere, specifically one that looks like the one Jack was wearing but maybe a bit thicker, more like Cas's new coat. He's trying to edge in on this family and I can only assume this is not even a veiled metaphor for the douchey biological father wanting to be all interested in his son's business.

Lucifer in a tan jacket makes me think wolf in sheep's clothing.

He does, however, shelve the issue of child custody for now, and he appears to be genuinely freaked out enough about Michael to make that a priority and tell Cas about it, because if you want help against Michael, we've had 2 references to Team Free Will in short succession and that was a phrase coined specifically to spite Michael...

I don't think Lucifer should be allowed in, remotely, because it's become a family term, but the imagery is interesting anyway that he is trying to leech off the success of TFW to accomplish the goals he could never do himself. Especially because it was blatant in season 5 to everyone but him that Michael would kick his butt since he already did it once before and nothing has changed, 12x12 confirmed Michael would kill him slowly, and now meeting an AU Michael, he discovers that yep Michael sure is stronger than him, even when he was the last strong archangel left, and then Michael took that from him...

None of this, however, makes Lucifer sympathetic or good, just self-interested in not dying, and who is better at not dying than Cas?

I mean he wasn't even expecting to see Cas here, I guess he was going to a heaven portal to try and get them to listen?

LOL Kingdom Beer sign over Cas and Lucifer having a chat in a bar.

Cas looks Weary.

"I came back from the dead to deal with THIS? Please take me back to yesterday when it was fun kinky cowboy times with Dean."

I'm glad Cas isn't remotely friendly to Lucifer and is quick to remind him about how killed he got last time they hung out. Lucifer continues to be whiny and annoying about it all, unrepentant for killing Cas over petty nonsense.

LOL Lucifer is like "this Michael is much more powerful"

buddy. dude. go watch 12x12 then get back to me about how whooped your butt would have been. I mean go look at that lovely painting of him whooping your butt that was in 12x12 and unrelated to the fact he had that fucking lance in the first place.

Anyway he's trying to convince Cas to use his influence on Jack to get them to be the ultimate team up but they're fundamentally incapable of doing that because they're the 2 rival dads for Jack and blatantly symbolically being shown as that in these costumes, and that's one of the huge thematic things.

Cas like "You are the Weakest Link, goodbye."

I love Cas being so snarky, so maybe Lucifer being around is good in some respects, that it makes Cas this snarky because he has something to bounce off as awful and despised as Lucifer. Not even Crowley got THIS dismissive treatment, because they had emotional baggage that was of a whole different sort, whereas Cas and Lucifer have been opposite mirrors the whole time since season 4

Lucifer is emphasising how he and Cas are the big cosmic powers around here, with Jack. Hm...

Lol Cas is like "I'm calling my guys who deal with these things" and Lucifer bangs his head on the table in despair. I guess this is like the boy who called wolf except that instead of calling wolf he was literally going around eating all the sheep and was banned from being a shepherd for life and locked away and got out and ate more sheep and was locked away and got out and ate more sheep and got locked away and THEN came back like oh hi something's gonna eat all our sheep.

Lucifer then says Cas needs him and that he needs Cas and they all need Jack.

So Um I guess "Need" is The Worst Word right now :P

"Jack. Your son's name is *Jack*" *pats Cas's hair*

Pfft themes "is he a chip off the old block?" "thankfully, no. he seems to favour the mother"

Theeeeeeeeemes

Cas squinting when he lies - I don't think that's his lying tell because he does it too much, but perhaps uncertainty. The fact he squinted so much in the reintroduction huggy scene last episode feels to me less like lying and more like no clue what was going on and how mad he had to be about his humans sacrificing for him to come back.

Laughing at all their labelled phones lying around permanently charging. I think this is the first proof we've ever seen that they have a Bobby phone bank, but I can't imagine who would rely on the Winchesters to answer the phone when they need proof of ID :P They're like ALWAYS being abducted or disappearing on cases.

Or dying.

Okay so the phones are more just for their personal IDs for the cards THEY give out and they're just getting a call back from the motel for some reason, I suppose because Jack was with them (seriously. Dean gave the motel the name Jack? I have to assume Jack said his name before they could re-name him on the fly and so he was registered as a guest there as Jack the Nephilim because why the fuck not... Berens has a magic skill of un-fucking Buckleming canon but it seems Buckleming's skill is fucking up poor Davy's, in 12x13 and 12x17 and now here...)

ANYWAY jesus christ Asmodeus is stupid. "Evil Colonel Sanders" literally walked in and abducted Karl in person which means that his stupid ass questions weren't even because his minions brought him the guy and presented him in an idiotic way, but our shapeshifting villain wandered in and took Karl, himself in person with his own freaking face that the Winchesters KNEW and is extremely memorable, and took his prize.

...

DHJ better turn out to be Asmodeus even though I think their screentime overlapped and this makes no freaking sense since he has some established history wandering around attacking witches before they caught up with him.

I'd rather have a time plothole than a stupid plothole :P

Anyway DHJ is hanging out with them in the library eating a sandwich because... um

reasons?

At least he's in chains.

Oh my god I said that sarcastically moments before Sam said it sincerely and then pointed out there's no bathroom in the armoury

what the fuck

Like I said up top: as stupid as the villain is, your main characters have to be about as dumb as they are, either only just enough to outwit them, or more stupid if they get outwitted...

Poor Sammy, he was having such a fantastic season

Dean just straight up pretends Mary is phone when DHJ asks because why the heck would you monologue your sad life story to the bad guy, and give him emotional leverage over you? Especially when he ASKS because "Alexander" should have no knowledge of Mary or care about her, but then he also shouldn't know the DHJ interview details of Ketch's inner life.

YAY Dean and Cas are talking and Dean phoned Cas probably just to hear a sane voice because Cas is managing to weave around being Buckleminged, so far, possibly just because he was not in the opening half of the episode, and then this was a really important conversation they couldn't fuck up so probably got supervised.

elizabethrobertajones tee hee Cas standing by the gents to take a call from Dean wait hang on ... I'm not even being jokey I literally just had that moment in the chat with you :P *rewinds* Longing retcon Confirmed Oh dear that is hilarious I don't know if that's the moment you wanted me to see or not but I'm delighted :P

elizabethrobertajones Cas was standing away from Lucifer ready to take Dean's phone call and had to have walked off up to a minute before he called, but most likely in that time when Dean was like UGH I need to talk to Cas and hear the one sane voice in this episode and Cas was like... Brb I... have to use... the 'Gents' and got up and wandered off to take the call eat it, 12x10 and that "where's my phone" moment I mean Buckleming introduced it to fill a plothole so why should they not use it to cover more plotholes at their leisure

... did Speight know? I mean he coulda been like what the heckeroo, and added Cas getting the call and legging it from the table.

The only other option I can think of is Cas decided he may as well just get up to "go pee" because Lucifer is so annoying that pretending he needs to go to the loo buys him 5 minutes to let his migraine subside.

Also what the fuck DHJ was wandering around the bunker so he could use the bathroom. I am confused. Is this actually like... being hinted at. Like, "hey children, please remember who does and doesn't need to use the bathroom in this episode"

Omg

Cas like "I would *like* to see you too" is he literally pretending he and Dean were canoodling on the phone as a cover?

I hate everything

Anyway need/want blah blah I have been over that a lot lately :P Cas is using his DESIRE to see Dean to get help, by Lucifer saying he NEEDS Cas.

"Smooth was never your strong suit" oh my god Lucifer also thought Cas was pretending to be flirty too what is going on

why has this episode confirmed all the headcanons about Cas being the most shittiest phone sex guy ever

of all the things.

why.

DHJ wants to go because he misses being in on the action with the guys

Like. No, go take your sandwich and sit down.

Dean is sad about Cas always getting killed by Lucifer and stuff when he does stupid things.

Cas's "ugh stop talking Lucifer" face is a whole layer more existential misery than dealing with Crowley... I think he was secretly fond of Crowley or at least enjoyed hating him, whereas Lucifer is just EXHAUSTING.

He's needling Cas for attention.

LOL randomly Asmodeus as if Cas's headache wasn't bad enough, now we got thunder and lightning and very very frightening...

Pfft.

bahahaha Lucifer called Asmodeus the dim bulb

I mean he's not wrong, Asmodeus has been completely idiotic all episode. And of course, narratively, his "evil plans" are just self-interest which will endanger the entire world because even if Lucifer is a twat, he has a point about the coming danger of Michael, and Asmodeus just refuses to see the danger, which is all kinds of various political commentary, and using his era aesthetic to say this kind of thinking is such a throwback...

I think this might be the most confused Cas has ever been about if he should stab someone or not - if he actually WANTS to defend Lucifer. Not really, but Asmodeus seems like a bigger problem because at least Lucifer isn't trying to kill him.

I hope this just randomly gets Asmodeus killed.

Or Lucifer

Asmodeus just called Lucifer "screwable"... do they even know what they said? :P

EEEP there was a Margiekugel sign and it just flickered off

"Nick's bar" pfft because Lucifer?

It seems like Sam and Dean are too late and Asmodeus already made off with everyone?

I hope Cas is okay

being held captive by that idiot seems like a fate worse than death. You're going to get villain monologues all day.

Anyway fight fight fight

Good fight.

Where did DHJ even come from?

that was a ridiculous nonsense about how he escaped. I also will die if he took Dorothy's bike and not his own left stashed there. Also he nodded at Dean like hey you didn't cavity search me like you should have, which... Is he actually Ketch?

He's actually Ketch

Of course that means Dean knows him very well and trusted his gut instinct on knowing Ketch to prove that he was not, in fact, the actor David Hayden Jones, chillaxing on set and being weirdly cheerful about being beaten up by the Winchesters.

Pfft he used Rowena's charm to get alive again

Well she better be fine if they're gonna use her like this.

"Is she?"

LOL Ketch ninja'd out of there

Oh good it wasn't Dorothy's bike

Considering how they use Rowena, DON'T use Mary, etc I'd have taken Dorothy's bike as a personal insult. I guess Ketch rode his over to the Bunker before 12x22.

I mean at least this means Ketch remembers he got shot and then also he revived in a sewer where he belonged because he is garbage.

Wait. He set up this whole thing in like a month or so TOPS since he got shot? If he’s been chasing witches has he even had TIME for a side business?

Oh boy, Asmodeus using Cas's voice to talk to Dean.

BAD HELLO DEAN.

That "see you soon" is also way too cheerful. It should be as much of a tip off as Cas begging Dean to come help him in the previous call.

I hope Dean sees through it.

Though it's so Buckleming-y I don't think people should be mad if he doesn't because this was them doing a smart!Dean episode.

PFFT of course they team up - colonialism from all sorts of fun angles!! The ultimate trashy white guys in suits team up.

Thanks Buckleming!

Man, I need a whole pot of detox tea now. I don't even have closing thoughts.
