it's 3am and there's a 'no reblog' feature, I get to post supernatural thoughts now, literally I cannot stand people who think that late seasons spn was a fun found family type of show and that sam was somehow more enjoyable as a character after becoming non confrontational, like dean didn't assault sam in s9 in a way that had been narratively comparable to rape in an earlier season, and sam is just supposed to live with that, and the audience is supposed to side with dean on this, like 'found family in the bunker :)' what on earth are you watching that let you arrive to that experience

#supernatural for ts #assault cw #rape cw #iirc dean tries to make sam apologize for this too like good fucking god man #i said it before and i'll say it again: if anyone treated my baby sister the way dean treats sam i would fucking kill them #specifically late seasons dean. s1-5 dean is a character. post s5 is whatever bullshit goes on in jackles head #if you think late seasons spn was a funky queer family comedy with dean and cas: first fix your comprehension skills #second: sam was actually queer coded with INTENTION in earlier seasons #and to top it off: gender subversion? sam gets coded with more women-in-horror tropes than you can shake a stick at #and dean is not punished for performing masculinity: a core aspect of his character is that he LIKES it #he's punished for not being a carbon copy of his FATHER it is not the same #no not. hang on. dean is punished for not being a Better Version of his father. john pushes onto dean what he himself cannot do.#SAM is the one who is persistently punished for failing to perform masculinity like oh my god
