#carry on anniversary

[laf-outloud]

jaredpadalecki Four years ago TODAY, a bunch of us stood on a bridge to say “see ya later” to characters, and stories, that we will cherish forever…

Being back in Vancouver for this strange anniversary has certainly made me want to say THANK YOU to the #spnfamily, on all sides of the camera, who made it all possible.

Til we meet again. 🙏❤️

#CarryOn

Why Carry On was the best possible ending

Complete review here (X).  The following are excerpts:

I’ve heard the complaints, Dean deserved happiness too.  Trust me when I say, he got it.  All he ever wanted was for Sam to have a normal life.  His entire life mission was to assure that.  He also knew the life would get him. 

Dean took on that role of protecting Sam proudly when he was only four years old!  Remember season two’s “What is and What Should Never Be?”  In his ideal world, Sam and Jessica were together and he went to law school.  He couldn’t live with the thought of Sam being dead, thus triggering the demon deal in “All Hell Breaks Loose Part II”  where he essentially sacrificed himself so Sam could live. Everything he did through most of the series was to protect Sam.   He had an angel posses Sam in season nine so his brother could heal from his mortal wounds, knowing it went against Sam’s wishes.  Then he did the unthinkable, he said “Yes” to Michael in season 13’s “Let the Good Times Roll,” something he would have never done if Sam’s life wasn’t at stake.    

At the same time, Dean only ever saw hunting as the life for himself.  He tried family life with Ben and Lisa because Sam made him promise during “Swan Song,” but it didn’t work out.  It never felt right to him.  Or how about this crucial piece of dialogue season 8’s “Trial and Error?”  (Which happens to be an Andrew Dabb script).  He pretty much spelled out where he saw both of their futures.

They established in the Pilot right away that all Sam ever wanted was a normal life.  That was constantly reinforced through the series.  There was season four’s “After School Special,” where young Sam talked to his teacher about not wanting to go into the family business.  Even one of the more recent episodes, “Drag Me Away (From You),” reminded us of that desire.  In season 8, after Dean was gone, Sam went after that normal life and enjoyed it, but was pulled back into hunting when Dean came back.  When he had the chance to go back to Amelia and have that domestic life, he chose to stay with Dean because they still had more work to do.  He stayed with Dean out of duty to his brother, but the hints, like him pursuing a relationship with Eileen, were always there that he wanted more.

There has also been mention through the series, like season 8’s “As Time Goes By,” about legacy.  The Winchester family name was important and was meant to continue.  There was Mary’s family, The Campbells, who were a hunting family.  The tradition of hunting and saving people went too deep into the family blood.  It would have been nice if both Sam and Dean could have children, but it was often foreshadowed that would be Sam’s destiny.  It seems fitting that it would be Sam, since he was the one doomed from the start by Mary’s deal.  He was the one that John and Dean fought so hard to protect.  He was the one that ultimately could pull off that life because he was the one that desired it.  

Dean’s last heroic act was making sure Sam would get his normal life.  He broke the cycle of the Winchesters cheating death, paying the ultimate sacrifice so Sam could move on. This whole saving each other started with season one’s “Faith,” and each rescue from the jaws of death proved to be more and more catastrophic to the natural order.  They were always living on borrowed time.  Dean knew that Sam would never have the life he wanted with him around.  He finally did the right thing and let go and made Sam promise to let go as well.  By doing that at the end they both found peace, just in different ways.

Remember when I made the 70 gifs of incest my pinned post 👀

I wrote this short fic, 'in heaven he felt you live', for the first anniversary of the finale and the awesome Now It's Perfect: a Sam and Dean in Heaven fest. It's the only fic I've published on ao3. So I'll share it again today, the second anniversary of Carry On. Check out Now It's Perfect as new works will be unleashed today!

[arwenadreamer]

I'll reblog all my old carry on edits today, to celebrate Carry On day.

I've made some new art for today, too.

Happy barniversary, my friends.

Happy Anniversary to the end of the show that got me through the worst depressive episode of my life. As cheesy as it was, I love you, supernatural.

Yes, I know it was actually 2 days ago but I’ve been really sick with the flu for the past few days :/

[causalityparadoxes]

I very much appreciate the return of RTD's slapstick and cartoon-y comedy. Its so silly but so good. I'm glad the episode took itself seriously when it needed to, but had that camp sci-fi energy to it too.

Honestly, The Star Beast as a story was a great pick to bring us back into an era headed by the guy who put shit like 'spinning christmas trees of death' and 'big fuck you wasp priest who makes buzzy sounds when he's mad' etc into the show.

I imagine Donna to still eventually ask what the doctor has been up to. Maybe she does so while they're stuck doing a chore together like the laundry or dishes. And the doctor will try to avoid it like he always does, but caves under Donna's stare. He'd still keep it vague, speaking more about the companions the toymaker spoke of and cautiously daring to honour their memory like that while keeping himself away from the hurtful bits. He even jokes a bit about who he ended up becoming. He'd admit he had an obsession with bowties and had sonic sunglasses once, and Donna would laugh and say she'd LOVE to see that.

Then, after a pause, Donna asks if he's ever stumbled upon her with a different face, and with a hushed breath he admits he hasn't.

She grows a bit silent, grieving a thought she wished were reality. And then the doctor pipes up again.

"This isn't actually the first familiar face I've gotten...-WELL not another one of my OWN faces, but certainly something familiar."

Intrigued, Donna stops what she's doing and listens to him explain further.

"When I first got it I couldn't place where I'd gotten it from. I just, knew it was familiar...... -I didn't linger on it as long as I should've and I moved on rather quickly."

"Why?" Donna asked, a bit bewildered at the thought of it.

"I was careless and angry and sort of... Scottish.-ANYways one day me and Clara were dragged to this viking village that had gotten itself into trouble, and we helped them. But this village girl had, uhm... Well she didn't make it. I was so angry -I remember that anger really well. And Clara kept on asking if there was something I could do..."

"Well, was there?" By now both of them weren't doing their chores anymore and all they could hear was the singing of a couple of starlings outside.

"...Yes, but it would've broken some rules."

Donna already knew what exactly he meant by that. She would figure that's the end of it, yet the doctor kept on talking.

"But then as I was rotting in my defeat, I remembered this important day I shouldn't ever have forgotten. The day we were in Pompeii... And only then did I realise that face, MY face, was a reminder of something very important you told me. To just, save someone."

"...So you mean, your face..." The doctor nodded, and Donna couldn't help but finally release the breath she'd been holding with a smile.

"I did save her and she ended up living a long, long, longlonglonglonglong life... But even after hundreds of years, when I doubted myself and needed it most, Donna Noble... Your impact on the world and my life, persisted."

And I imagine the doctor to give her a big, proud smile, before Donna pulls him in for a big hug he wasn't expecting to receive. Because maybe, just maybe, that was exactly what she needed to hear that day.

Then once they return to their chores, I imagine Donna to think about it a bit longer and make a comment. "Well you better never take on my face!" And the doctor would dissolve into a pouty ramble about how he has no control over it while also being a bit disappointed she's said no.

We miss our boys. Supernatural was a huge part of our lives and theirs.

Four years. Wow.

Consider writing Apollo and post-apotheosis Hyacinthus (as in, after the whole myth) like an Old married couple who are still in love! They are very casually in love. Apollo: I love you. Hyacinthus, cooking food: I love you too. You still have to clean and set the table. You little shit. Apollo: (Hugging his arms around Hyacinthus.) …Will I still have to if you get a kiss? Hyacinthus: (actively receiving a kiss) Yeah. Dumbass. Apollo: Dang it!! I’ve been cheated! (He is languishing on the table.) Hyacinthus: If that breaks I’m not picking you back up. (It does and he does) For their anniversary they book a table at a Dionysus restaurant (I guess he just has one now??) and Apollo arrives full fashion, glorious sparkly golden dress, combed back pristine curls, beautiful lipstick and everything and Hyacinthus wears a top he bought that says “<- I think this guy is gay”. Apollo fireman carries him the whole time for revenge.
