Rowena critiquing Charlie for seeing the brothers as family and giving them blind faith is so juicy. Rowena may not see the future but she knows well enough, with all of her talk of balance, that Charlie isn’t making it out of this. She said she read Charlie like a book the moment she met her, and what she saw was an unaware martyr.

Charlie tells Rowena she sees them like her brothers and that should be the warning signs for the audience. Anyone who has ever seen the brothers as family always gets caught in the crossfire. It reminds me of Adam because he was their biological brother, but at the end of the day, anyone can be collateral for Sam and Dean except Sam and Dean.

Rowena may be a master manipulator, but those are the skills that let her see the truth of Charlie. That she is doomed by the narrative just like all the others that came before.

The only irony of the situation is that Rowena herself will die for the Winchesters one day. That’s the way of supernatural, either die an antagonist or live long enough to see yourself become a Winchester martyr.

Rewatching Supernatural for My Mom's First Time Watching

Season 10, Episode 21: Dark Dynasty

My Mom: Nothing is gonna happen to Charlie, right?

Me: *With a straight face lying like a Winchester* No of course not.

*Charlie dies*

My Mom: *angrily throws a Snoopy plush at me*.

Me: *catches it* Whoa! Whoa hey now hold on!

My Mom: *picks up a shoe angrily yelling at me.*

Me: *life flashing before my eyes as episode 22 starts* Let me tell you something LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! Put the Chancla down! JESUS CHRIST!

*Explains how the writers did get shit for this, the fandom does not forgive.*

My Mom: *still pissy* Give me back the Snoopy.

Me: No I'm holding onto this as insurance right now! Like how Sam said the iron cuffs on Rowena were insurance in the previous episode!

My Mom: Why you little...

Me: Yeah! I'm pulling a Sam Winchester! Now...I will give it back if you don't try to end me.

It’s interesting that when Rowena met Charlie in season 10, she could read her pretty well and clocked all their similarities. She ended the exchange about Charlie loving Sam and Dean and feeling like a Winchester sibling with : ‘that steadfast loyalty will be your undoing my girl.’

I wonder if the writers already knew what would be Rowena undoing.

Probably since, as Mark Sheppard said, we all love Sam and Dean. And we’re interested in other characters on the show in part because they are our proxy; they love the Winchester in our place.

So it was inevitable that Rowena would end up exactly like Charlie. (Less plaid and longer hair but same difference)

Dark Dynasty, 10x21

I'd been spoiled that Charlie dies, but God it was still tragic when it happened 😭

Why didn't Sam or Dean call Cas and get him to zap her out of there when she phoned and said she was in the motel?! He's a lot faster than driving!

[hitchell-mope]

WHOOHOO!!!! THAT USELESS BITCH IS FINALLY DEAD!!!!

daily dean quote #19/366:

“well, there’s pretty much what we do know, that they screwed with financial markets, they helped hitler get started, along with god knows what else - probably disco.”

Rowena, Charlie, and Sam

Did season 10 episode 21 of Supernatural come out in 2015? Am I still going to give my take on it? Yes. Why? I didn’t have tumblr then and I do now and I rewatched it a few weeks ago and an idea has been rolling around in my head for a bit.

So, in the episode (spoiler alert) Rowena and Charlie do not get along when they are forced to work together. Rowena drives Charlie to leave where she is found and killed. No one liked that. I know I didn’t.

Since I like both Rowena and Charlie I think it would be interesting if they didn’t like each other at first but throughout the episode started to get more interested in how the other one was using their skills to decode the book and by the end of the episode Rowena ends up taking Charlie on as a witch-in-training and mentors her in witchcraft. That way Charlie doesn’t die, Rowena becomes a good guy (which she ends up being by Season 15 anyway) and everyone is happy.

I would also like to add that in Season 15, I wouldn’t have Rowena die. I would have Samwitch join Rowena and Charlie’s coven of two.

I would watch a spin off that’s just Rowena and her two witch apprentices.

The SPN lore behind the Frankenstein family makes no sense 😭😭

[liopleurodean]

Season 10, Episode 21: Dark Dynasty

Yeah, Omaha! NEBRASKA REPRESENT!

Eye doctor?

Oh, poor girl

This is not gonna end well for her

Ew, that's a horrible way to do that

That's disgusting

That wasn't a very clean getaway

A mutual benefit

Fantastic

Yikes

He's trying to garner sympathy for screwing up a murder. This family is psycho

Liar

Rip this guy

Good luck with that

Ouch

They're all idiots

That hurts, Dean

Sam, you're a horrible liar

Great subject change

What's your beef with disco?

They've gone for less

The case will be gone by then

Secret meetings

About that...

Dean doesn't know anything

Charlie is the only one with common sense

Sooo I think this is the third Surface I've seen this season

Nice

Even better

Cas!

Someone not to mess with

Dean. And the Stynes

Cas is so done™

This is a trainwreck

At least they learned

Right...

For Dean!

Rowena 😂

That looks like fun

Of course there is

Crowley.

Everyone here is an idiot

Freaky

Definitely a Styne

Yeah, probably

Sam, you liar

Wow. That was really close

That was a horrible picture for translating purposes

But it's not synchronous

Aw, Cas!

Maybe they can work together!

Agnes. Agnes Nutter?

Spooky

And they're both redheads

Charlie...

Awww

I really don't want to think about that

Yeah. Right.

Just a normal Thursday

Uh oh

He looks kinda like Glen Powell

This'll be a great conversation

Cas.

Dean is concerned

Bad answer, Sam

Awkward...

He's. He's talking to the hamster

This is great

What did Crowley say to him earlier?

Idiots. They're all idiots

Ooh, Crowley, so close

Wow. That is so sketch, Dean

Aw, not the pizza! He just wanted food

This isn't gonna end well

Go for the head, Dean

Oh boy

Yikes

They're foreshadowing it so hard and I'm gonna cry

Charlie, no! Literally any other time, but not now!

Charlie...

That won't stop him

Natural enemies

Mm. Not as far as you think

They really went there

Making their own heroes

Oh boy

There it is

Sloppy stitches

Frankenstein. So original

Yup. Lame

Oh, Cas

Sorry, Dean

She did, but people don't believe

Ever heard of David and Goliath?

And he can find them

Hah! As if

Uh oh

That's not what he means

That didn't sound good

He chopped off his own hand

Ew, even worse

Yikes

Maybe she doesn't want kids

Hah! Cas doesn't know

Indeed it does

She dipped, didn't she

Dang it, Charlie!

He got pretty far for a guy with one arm

Oh no...

Sci-Fi alias, I like it

Nope

That's horrifying

Yeah...

And Dean is inclined to believe him

Sam...

Emergency. Right now

And this entire thing is Sam's fault. If he had just brought Dean in from the beginning -- man, that's Dean's little sister! That's his only source of joy since way back when there were Leviathans! This is horrible

Oh no

Hey! She did it!

That's horrifying

Dean, now is not the time! You have to go!

You shouldn't have left, Charlie

It won't stop them

I don't think I can watch

Charlie..!

AND NOW SHE WILL DIE, SAM!

Charlie, no!

They're too late

No...

[skelvron-keiman]

Yes, its me: the spokesperson for all your cursed crushes

[judedeluca]

“Caped Crusader is woke cuz they made Penguin a woman it sucks!”

Oh yeah it’s just awful DC has never done that before

I can’t remember when they ever changed a Bat villain’s gender in an AU

It just boggles the mind why they would do something like this

Really just no answer

[essektheylyss]

You know what's hilarious, if Ludinus was indeed a young man being traumatized by the end of the Calamity. Deirta Thelyss is almost certainly older than he is.

This is not relevant but I think Essek should bring this up, just to be a bitch about it.

[sweetmapple]

Finally got around to this

I genuinely can’t imagine any other way this ship would even function

[hitchell-mope]

Bradbury you fucking useless fucking idiot.
