#but then there's the whole Sam trusting Ruby while Dean doesn't vs the whole Dean trusting Benny while Sam doesn't kind of thing

Spoilers ig for season 8 because, like me, I know there are still some people watching the show a little late 😌

CAN I RANT because I feel like season 8 is such a weird season. Like genuinely what actually happens in season 8 other than the weird thing between Dean and Benny (my beloved by the way! the man is incapable of doing wrong I love him)???

Now listen. Yeah, Sam's in the wrong for leaving and not coming back to help Kevin or not trying to find a way for Dean to get out of Purgatory, but so is Dean! For Dean to give Sam shit for following Ruby and letting her basically guide their way straight to the apocalypse when Dean almost basically did the same thing with Benny and kept it from Sam is crazy. And sure yeah, it goes deeper and Dean and Benny had a bond and all that, but look at it from my perspective. Is Sam not allowed to be at least somewhat suspicious of Benny? Can he not also have trust issues when it comes to this sort of thing because it has backfired on them before? Gut feelings aside--which is not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about basic equality and broken trust between brothers because of something similar that has happened BEFORE--the whole thing just makes me question Dean's morality in all this because how the fUCK is that supposed to work???

Anyway, for my first rewatch, I remember that I have free will and can skip season 8 but there IS still lore in season 8 so I can't 😔 besides, I need some Benny moments I miss him dearly, and ignoring everything about how out of character it was for Sam to hit that dog and fall in love with what's-her-face, it was a sweet moment and I kinda liked watching it play out. Even though, the more I think about it, it's really like. Not Sam. It's like a non-canon spin-off version of Sam. So I can't really ignore it. But it's whatever lmao I didn't write season 8 😭 ANYWAYYYYYY. It's one thing to call Sam out on his bullshit. But he was trying. He really was. And so it's a completely different thing when Dean decides to fucking fake text Sam as the lady just to make him see that she was happy without him. Like okay I get the sentiment, but that's fucked up. Because Sam did try. And he was trying to make up for the mistakes he made throughout the year Dean was gone. But the motherfucker just had to add something extra into that pot.

haha Dean is cool but sometimes I really hate his guts.

Edit: some of my info was wrong lmao so I had to fix it 🧍‍♀️ THANK YOU @somaliradfem FOR CORRECTING ME!!!
