Sam and Dean lacking personal space in every episode - 14/327

[gothicrepetitions]

It's so funny that Sam has apparently has no thoughts about Jo despite the fact they're very clearly inverted characters. Like he saw Jo who desperately wants to hunt even though her mother pushes her to live a normal civilian life and go to college and thought. crazy, not that this is not relevant or relatable to me in anyway whatsoever. I have never felt more removed from a situation in my life.

There really is something about the way Supernatural writes younger siblings and how corruptible they are; it’s Sam with the demon blood, Abel and his love of Lucifer, Lucifer and the mark and his hatred He’ll even Chuck and his depression, his narcissistic low self esteem. They are never strong enough to fight the corruption on their own they always fall prey to it. And it is always the duty of the Elder to put them down when they do. To punish them

Cain kills Abel as his last act of love for his brother, Michael casts his beloved Brother into the recesses of hell in righteous fury, So many chances Dean was supposed to put Sam down to save the world it was woven into his blood, and Chuck…..Chuck turned Predator before he could become prey caged his sister before she could destroy him. Chick wrote these storylines into existence like he was scared scared of what his sister might have done. Scared that he would have deserved it. Every sibling is modeled on their relationship after all.

It’s why Sam and Dean fascinate him. Because Dean would burn the world to the ground before he ever took a knife to his brother. And maybe that’s what Chucks been looking for since the beginning to be loved so wholly corruption and all.

"Dean didn't love Cas," "It was platonic," fuck off, when Cas died, he handled his loss the exact same way John did when he lost Mary. It's not even subtext, it's in the dialogue. Sam points it out, loud and clear. That's literally what the narrative was conveying.

"He's not just grieving about Cas, he lost Mary too." Yeah, but even when he's hellbent on blaming all of their loss on Jack, even he could see that Mary made her choice.

But to him, Cas didn't. To Dean, Cas was manipulated—deceived by some idea of "paradise," and it's easier to swallow that than to consider that Cas up and left them to protect Lucifer's child.

And you wanna know the cherry on top of all this??? Castiel's paradise consisted of them, together. Happy. Alive. Together. Castiel may have run away with Kelly to fulfill her wish for Jack, (to let him keep his powers where the Winchesters wanted to turn him human), but he only did so for that promise. In the end, he ran away so he could give them this.

okay but dean doesn’t believe in anything and also doesn’t believe in no one. all the faith he has in people are conditional, specially because he is the one that people puts their faith on, so it’s only one sided. like even sam, whom he loves and trusts so much, still doesn’t have his faith—bc he is the one that “endures” the faith, he’s the one that has the responsibilities, therefore, he can’t actually count on sam yk (btw i’m not saying this is true, dean Could count on sam, but this is how his mind works, he doesn’t think it’s okay for him to actually count on sam since he’s the one that Needs to be the responsible one, he’s the one that sam is counting On).

for dean, it’s only a -> b, not a -> b AND b -> a. the only person he actually had faith in was john, but he died. and eventually even he realized that that faith was misplaced and came (more) from a place of duty than from a genuine one. so we have this character who doesn’t believe in God, doesn’t believe in good things, doesn’t believe that good things could happen to him and that thinks everything is conditional, that people’s loves for him are conditional, mostly based on how useful he is, and that he will be okay as long as he continues this job and responsibility. he literally has the burden of the world on his shoulders and since he was a kid he was the only one that he could count on, the only one that could actually solve things.

And then enters castiel. A faithful Angel. An angel that rebels—for Dean. and that was devoted to dean in such a pure and unconditional way that actually makes him a little bit insane. cas is the only person besides himself that dean could really count on, that dean really puts his faith on. even john, as I said, he did it bc of something like a debt or bc that was what he always knew to be true. but with cas, it was the opposite. he never believed in angels; never even liked them. he was raised to never really trust anyone, let alone a supernatural being. but yet he trusts castiel, so much that it goes against his own basic instincts (to when both bobby and sam thought cas was betraying them and dean was trying so hard to not believe in that—i mean, not cas, he wouldn’t).

crazy that he was the number one faithless boy. he didn’t believed in God, but he did believe in castiel. he prayed to him. every night. he trusted him. so much that he never thought he would betray them. dean, who was raised to never trust anyone and hate all supernatural stuff, believed in an angel so much that it actually contradicted everything he was. he didn’t believe in God. but oh, he believed in castiel. to a point so powerful that it was literally his religion. like both of them were so devoted to each other they changed the narrative, they were the only real thing in chuck’s universes, they pretty much invented free will. Crazy. Insane actually.

Watched Season 5, episode 8 "Changing Channels" last night but was SO. FUCKING. TIRED. (I swear end of the school year is going to kill me all the way dead there is STILL a month and a half left) that I didn't make a post about it.

But yeah. Absolutely loved it, I had high hopes since Gabriel was in it and he DEFINITELY DELIVERED. I don't know if I ship Sabriel completely, but there were definitely some moments where I could see parallels between Sam and Gabriel that I've seen with Dean and Cas (my sister said they should have a double date lol but I lowkey love that). Also just. What a fucking icon. He's literally built like a rat but he's a tiny bit hot. Also just a diva. We love. Also Cas was in it :) but he was beat up like the whole time and was just there as eye candy at the end but STILL. Eye candy :D Also the freaking twist (that I had heard before but I forgot that I knew!!) Gabriel and Cas are brothers????? Yes PLEASE. They're both definitely autistic though, the vibes are there. But I love them <333333 they both make me so sick.

i’ve noticed some samgirls will take sam’s empathy and understanding towards dean in the later seasons as defeated submissiveness to fuel their battered-wife sam agenda and it’s such a two-dimensional interpretation of older sam i am tiredd

something about john winchester mischaracterisation just needles me inexplicably. i can deal with it if a fic is good otherwise but cmon. you have to Get Him. he loves the boys and he ruins their lives like come on….. if you don’t get that he loves them then how r u even getting dean’s character considering that dean is The Same in this manner. love can be bad love doesn’t change abuse it just complicates it etc etc.

unrelatedly but also relatedly, i don’t think he’d be actually homophobic because i don’t think he has time to care. i do however think dean would be absolutely convinced he is incredibly homophobic for unknown reasons. john probably makes like an offhanded comment about something being gay once and 15 year old dean (very attracted to men. genuinely no idea whatsoever. still feels intense rush of panic at the word) decides it must mean john desperately and intensely HATES gay people and proceeds to become world’s best baby homophobe for like a year before he starts to think Maybe Sammy’s gay (sam likes to read books) and cools down on the homophobia. also his heart was never really in it. but he still thinks john is homophobic and has also decided sam’s probably gay (sam is more attracted to women than dean is) so he worries about this a lot.

then one day john says extremely casually about sam Sometimes I wonder if he’s not a little queer, you know, and dean’s heart stops and he’s like What no of course not what and john’s like If it means he doesn’t get into as much trouble with girls as you seem to, I honestly don’t mind and dean’s just like. What. but by this point it’s far too late and all fragments of homosexuality have been far buried beneath the surface by his subconscious. Also it’s important that john WOULD be kind of annoyed by dean being gay. he already thinks sam is weird and has decided to love him anyway (although i’m not sure sam got the memo about being loved anyway so the effort was useless) so it’s ok if sam is gay (privilege of being the family freak!) but dean is meant to be mini him. #picking up girls. see that journal entry. he’d get over it though.

very funny to me when people point at ruby and castiel as the obvious intentional parallels meaning that samruby being canon = destiel when like. how it actually went down is anna was supposed to be the parallel but spn hated women too much to have two of them playing a central role in the brothers’ lives at once. what we’ve encountered here is sexism, not gay people.

[junefl0wers]

watching supernatural for the first time (yes in the year of 2024, leave me alone 😔) and i can’t wait till castiel appears on the show cuz you’re telling me dean ‘seems really straight’ winchester is part of the most popular gay ship from this show?? alright

(i just got done with season 1 btw so bear with me here)

[fallenangelblade]

when dean comes back from the endverse and gets yanked out of his confrontation with zachariah, he gives castiel the softest, fondest look and i want to eat glass about it

[lonieene]

"ADAM was the favorite!"

"no! SAM was the favorite!"

"of course not, DEAN was the favorite!!!"

lets just accept that the favorite was Mary and just live life?

Final chapter of my Midam fic is up ~

(If you can call it that, it’s more of a very very short addendum bc it’s a scene I wanted to write but couldn’t figure out how to place in the main chapters)

[starnana7]

okay but the fact that dean and cas are BOTH made for each other and at the same time they willed their love. they made it happen, knowingly, loving each other with every bit of consciousness they had, that they gained with one another. cas was always a rebellious angel, but this is the only universe where he actually rebelled—for dean. that he didn’t do what he was told, where he defied God and fate and the universe. they may not love each other in Every universe, and that may have been their only chance (</3) But Fuck if that isn’t even more poetic. the fact they weren’t linked by some intertwined invisible string but they actually chose to fall in love with each other. every day they made that choice, consciously or not. every day they chose each other. every day they woke up and fought for their love. and like i do think that at some level they were kinda destined for each other, i mean, they Are soulmates, but not in the divine sense yk like chuck did brought castiel over and over because of dean and they are not just two random dudes that fell in love; they were indeed “brought together” but ultimately They—and only they—changed the entire narrative bc that WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. castiel was supposed to obey, to comply; dean was supposed to hate all angels and supernatural beings, and yet they were the only real thing in the entire cosmos. they were the only real thing in chuck’s story, their love, the bond they forged—one that wasn’t even supposed to exist, at least not like that. like they really did that Huh they invented free will right then and there to the point even the writers had to change the original script so castiel would come back (i’m pretty sure he was only supposed to be in a few episodes). love so strong they changed the narrative (both of them). cas love for dean was so strong that even tho he was brainwashed and trained to kill dean over and over and over again, the moment that dean needed cas—dean who doesn’t need any one btw—the connection broke, cas broke free. dean love for cas was so strong that even tho he had the moc, the moment that cas asked for him to stop, he did, he couldn’t kill cas, not with cas touching him and not fighting back (btw i love this parallel with all my heart and also cas-collete parallel hellooo?). dean also loved cas so much that even tho he was by fate bound to amara, the moment she did something to cas he immediately went against her, like even she realized that his love for cas was stronger than their bond—even tho his and amara bond was literally inevitable, like it just would happen. and then again we prove that the choice of dean and cas love for each other was so much more strong than anything that chuck could’ve written, stronger than any fate or ineffable plan or anything. and like cas’ love is so strong that i do think would resonate in every universe, but not because they were supposed to happen. on the contrary, specifically because they weren’t a thing, it were so strong to the point it changed everything that it could also happen in every other universe yk like i firmly believe cas would always find dean but not because of fate but because of his love

I hate to break it to you, but if you're an spn Lucifer apologist, then you've been played by the narrative
