#an excerpt from my supernatural rewatch google doc

[deanwinchester-baby]

I think there’s something to be explored about how humane/sensible/sensitive the boys remain in spite of everything anf how vital that is. Like yeah this is season one they’re a little green (although far more experienced in the grotesque and evil than most people twice their age will ever be) and think it’s “sick” the mere thought of a shifter shedding (Skin, 1.06) but like, even in season five (and Dean’s just back from hell!!!) and they both look so grossed out at the eye soup. Or the references to Bobby taking them game hunting and them being unable to kill animals. Dean’s series long indignation at bunnies being screwed. They can do the job but they don’t dettach so fully that it doesn’t freak them out. And it’s not just the care about the big tragedies, but being able to maintain the uneasy feeling even when life does it’s best to beat it out of you so you can be a cold dead eyed killing machine… That’s the Human Disorder.
