Honestly I just think that. Demon dean possessing sam would have been a natural progression in their relationship and it really should have happened because like. He basically did it with gadreel and their relationship only got more toxic and controlling and it would have been interesting and I think dean actually experiencing what it is like to be sam would have been incredibly eye opening in every horrible fucked up way. Anyways. Demon dean possesses sam and immediately smokes out because he cannot handle being sam and this is how they manage to pin him down long enough to turn him human as he is weakened from it.
#supernatural#sam winchester#dean winchester#I mean when you think about it#everyone wants sam Winchester but no one wants to be him#except for meg and Lucifer and gadreel#but even then they were superimposing themselves onto him and didnât bother to truly know him#they all projected their own selves#which dean already does outside of sam so#possession is the natural next step#but the difference dean actually does love sam#and he doesnât know the extent to which he doesnât know him#and even if he doesnât love him as a demon#he thinks he knows him#and he doesnât#fic fodder

ok tumblr deleted most of my tag essay on this post, so i've recreated and expanded upon it in its own post.
so the op of the post made a great point which really touched on why i've been feeling that i had a fundamentally different takeaway of season 9 compared to the rest of the fandom. i have a lot to say in response to this, not in argument but in support and synthesis of it.
i'll start with dean at the beginning of season 9: he has a great struggle in 901 regarding gadreel possessing sam, more so than any other struggle he's faced when saving sam's life, which points to me as him being aware of and conflicted about sam's history of possession. he understands this is crossing a line because it's similar to lucifer and meg, and so accepting gadreel's deal is violating sam to a length dean hasn't gone to before. dean by and large is the one who has this particular ethical problem (shown throughout the first half of season 9), not sam. hell, dean is the one who leaves sam once gadreel's out, without even waiting for input because his self-loathing is that strong.
sam, on the other hand, is more textually concerned in his 912/913 arguments with the lack of trust ("i can't trust you, not the way i thought i could") and dean's selfishness ("you did it for you"). this is an ongoing conflict sam has with dean, since the beginning of the show. dean doesn't trust sam to make his own decisions and therefore makes them for him, without sam's consent or knowledge. sam wants to be trusted to stand on his own, and he wants dean to put the same faith in him that he puts in dean. this is the core of sam's needs; the violation of autonomy is just an externalization of these needs and this conflict.
and i don't entirely disagree with the connection between going behind sam's back to keep him alive against his will and a rape narrative. both involve a lack of consent and a violation of agency. however, it really doesn't stop there, and it's a lot more complex than that.
and that's what rubs me wrong about more common interpretations of season 9 that i've seen. because this isn't really what the season is about. this violation on its own isn't the point. or if it is on the surface, it's equally about sam lying to himself about what it's actually about. he's consistently left out of major decisions regarding his own life and then lied to about it "for his own good," and he wants the right to choose his own path.
except, as we learn, that's not true. he lied about it. because the point of the whole season is that sam and dean are the same. they will make the same decisions to save each other over and over again. the point of the whole season is that sam has been lying to himself.
i said this in another post, but i think a big reason sam was able to lie to himself about this fact is because he's had the opportunity to let dean go on several occasions. he's been unable to save dean the way dean has saved sam. he fails where dean succeeds. sam has been forced to endure a grief that dean has never had to experience because dean always brings sam back. and so because sam has endured these experiences maybe he's more comfortable letting dean choose death in the abstractâthe hypothetical. but in reality when it comes to that point, sam can't actually follow through, because he's just as dependent on dean being there for him as dean is dependent on sam.
and that's what season 9 is about. sam has been lying to himself about this reality from the start. this is why 1019 parallels 311 regarding how insane sam is about dean. it's reiterating the facts we've known but with a new perspective, now that sam is done deluding himself. he needs to accept that he was lying to himself and to dean, and this is what allows season 9 to close and for season 10 to begin, because season 10 is a response to sam's realization. he chooses dean over everything else in a monumental display of hypocrisy and genuine understanding of himself and who dean is to him.
seasons 8-10 should be taken as a single, cohesive unit, and the show goes to great lengths to enforce this. season 9 mirrors season 8, and season 10 acts as a response to and therefore a continuation of season 9. you can see this in the way charlie's death mirrors kevin's (one brother's lies and deceptions leads to increasing stakes that could have been avoided through honesty and openness, which culminates in the death of their beloved ally, and the deceptive brother blames himself for that death because his own unethical actions led to it), or how both of them undergo a change in their physiology as a result of godlike power entering their bodies which mutilate them from the inside and have fatal consequences (sam with the trials, dean with the mark of cain) which can only reasonably be resolved with their deaths (and they both even enter the final stages of this conflict by going to confession). also the plot structures of seasons 8 and 9 on their own mirror each other very closely.
this is all very important because it outlines the purpose of each of these two seasons. it's about them being fundamentally betrayed by their brother, causing that brother to become desperate and feel rejected and unloved, only for them to get what they need out of each other to reaffirm their love. they have to function as a unit, because otherwise both season's primary conflicts (as in, the conflicts established in the first half of each season) are left unresolved. instead, sam gets what he needs from dean in 823, which means that in return dean gets what he needs from sam in 923, thus closing the circle that was opened in 801.
dean reaffirmed that sam is the most important person in the world to him in sacrifice, that he would choose sam over every single other person on earthâthis is what sam needed to hear, because it's the foundation of the conflict in season 8, since sam thinks dean chose benny over him and this sent him spiraling into a suicidal depression and self-loathing. so season 9, consequentially, is about dean getting what he needs from sam: he needs to know that sam will do anything in his power to save dean, which is a conflict that began in season 8 (with sam not searching for dean in purgatory) and is reasserted in 913 when sam tells him that he wouldn't violate his agency if the situations were reversed.
and this is exactly what dean gets in 923, when sam says he lied about all of that. dean gets the affirmation that sam's love for dean goes beyond petty ethics, which translates to "dean is more important to sam than anything else in the world" where the "anything else" includes sam's own moral boundaries. this is important to dean because dean eschews his own moral boundaries for sam's sake and safety over and over again throughout the series, and this is a major source of his own character development (see: 122, 203, 214, 222, et cetera et cetera). sam repeatedly denies that he's the same way, and has proven at least once that he wouldn't do the same, so this is an important affirmation for sam to give and it's why dean had spiraled into a suicidal depression and self-loathing (look, another parallel).
so season 8-9 are mirrors of each other, and they have to be mirrors of each other in order to work structurally and for any of the conflicts presented to be resolved. season 10 then is a response to this which shows the consequences of those dual resolutions: aka, sam acts just as unethically as dean does in the rest of the show, except this time knowingly and intentionally instead of subconsciously as he has been doing up to now (see: 1001, 1003, 1004, 1018, 1020, et cetera et cetera).
in order for all of this to work, the conflicts in season 8 and season 9 have to be equal. i.e. dean has to violate sam and his ethics as badly as sam violated dean and his ethics. it also has to be suitably Bad because it's revisiting a conflict that's existed in various iterations across the entire show. this is why it's also deeply important that 923 dean's death also parallels 222 sam's death, because it highlights how this conflict has always existed and how sam and dean are similar to each other. they both make the same choices under pressure and go to equally unethical lengths. which is why season 9 couldn't end until crowley told the audience that sam was trying to make a deal with him to bring dean back to life, specifically after dean begged sam to let him die. the point, then, was never about the violation itself: sam disregards dean's right to choose death just as much as dean disregards it. the season is about how sam and dean are at their cores the same, and it's about sam becoming aware of that reality and then actively, consciously choosing it. which is what sam reiterates across season 10, as a response to his choice in 923.
he only realizes that this is a Bad Thing in 1101 (i.e. after the response has run its course) when he says they both have to change. and the "both" is important because they are the same, fundamentally. sam isn't innocent of this violation of agency and obsessive deception of his brother, and he needs to understand that before actionable change can be made, which is what season 10 is all about.
and there's something poignant that can be said about 1023 being titled "brother's keeper," because this episode is about sam playing the role of brother's keeper, only for it to blow up so spectacularly in their faces that it causes the apocalypse 2.0. it forces sam to recognize that his original conclusion (that dean was right, and that he was lying) was not actually the correct and moral way to continue living. the significance of 1101 only reveals itself in the foundation laid by seasons 8-10, because these are the seasons about sam discovering just how down bad he is for his brother and accepting it wholeheartedly. season 11 then seeks to fix what seasons 8-10 broke, which is of course the entire fucking planet.
and this is the problem: the first apocalypse was caused by the absence of love, and the second was caused by too much love. their love is a destructive force that has world-ending consequences. that's the point of these seasons, what it all comes back to. in receiving the exact type and strength of love they needed from each other, they ended the world. and this is the conflict they need to resolve in season 11, or at least try to. because their love for each other can, has, and will destroy the world, over and over and over again. this theme can't exist unless seasons 8 and 9 mirror each other, unless season 9 is about sam's hypocrisy.
without that world-ending love, they couldn't have started the second apocalypse. if sam weren't a liar, he would have respected dean's choices, and he would have let dean die. if sam truly cared about bodily autonomy, dean would have died in 923 when he begged sam to let him. but he doesn't; that's not the point of the narrative. of course the violation of autonomy is important, because it provides the foundation for the conflict. but the violation is itself a metaphor, a triple whammy of symbolism: the possession is a metaphor for violation, and the violation is a metaphor for betrayal (as seen through the lens of deception).
the point of season 9 is not that dean metaphorically raped his helpless little brother; rather it's that the violation of agency goes both ways, and sam is a hypocrite for trying to maintain his autonomy while stripping it from dean. it's a continuation of season 8, which thus compacts his guilt over "abandoning" dean in purgatory and his self-loathing and fears of not being good enough or worthy enough of dean's love, which thus causes him to act recklessly and injuriously toward himself and dean. it's not a positive conclusion by any means; like i said, this is what causes the second apocalypse, and it's only after they've ended the world twice that sam finally sits down and says maybe they were wrong about this whole thing. maybe their love is too destructive.
in 912, sam says: "something's broken here [...] we don't see things the same way anymore."
in 1101, sam says: "this isn't on you. it's on us. we have to change."
sam goes from blaming dean to blaming both of them, because he realizes that they're both equal partners in their toxic, fucked up love. season 8 and season 9 allowed them to become equals by giving each other the affirmations they desperately needed to achieve true enmeshment, and season 10 is the consequence of that unhealthy relationship.
the point was never that dean violated sam. he does that over and over again throughout the series without destroying their relationship. the point is that sam is willing to violate dean all the same, and he had to face that reality head-on and accept it to resolve the conflict between them and give dean the affirmation he needed, just like dean gave sam the affirmation he needed in 823. the violation was simply a vehicle through which the conflict could come to a head, and the most provocative symbol this show could possibly use was the metaphor of sexual assault and rape, given sam's history with it via meg and especially via lucifer.
i've probably written enough now. the tl;dr is that season 9 invokes what can be interpreted as a rape metaphor not to vilify dean or even really to continue sam's ongoing rape narrative (though the violation that occurs in season 9 uses this as a foundation for the conflict and that's important to understanding the gravity of the situation), but rather to give appropriate stakes to mirror the primary conflict of season 8 and provide grounds for dean to get resolution for the conflict that began in 801 and continued through 923. god i hope this makes sense because now i've written this essay twice and i'm so miserable because of it.
my apologies if any of this is repetitive or meandering or lacking in any way; i tried really really hard to recreate my original essay and also provide more evidence and groundwork for my argument but obviously i'm sure i've missed some details and overlooked structure in many places. if you read this far, i love you and please talk to me about seasons 8-10. i'm losing my mind
#supernatural#at some points i feel like i sound overly critical of sammy and i want to stress i am a samgirl and he's everything to me#and i also don't think this trio of seasons vilify him either even if my arguments might sound that way#i think his development across these seasons are fantastic even if they aren't all rainbows and sparkles. he's a great character#since the essay was originally a response to the first linked post it addresses the issue with the 'rape narrative' reading of s9#more heavily than my other arguments. so yeah that's probably why i'm worried it comes across as more critical than i intended#also calling someone a hypocrite is a rather loaded term even though i'm using it neutrally. but i digress#.txt#the winchester gospel#spn posting#spn9#spn8#spn10

Thank you so much for this reply. As always when we have a reblog chain with each other, I learn new things about both myself and also how other fans see the show. <3 <3 <3
and in which he never actually had a choice at all.
This is so interesting to me, because I would never have guessed that someone could take the intended reading to be that Dean had no choice. I assumed the intended reading was that both Sam and Dean had the same choice and both-- understandably, due to months of manipulation from both sides--chose wrongly. I get why Dean felt he had to force Sam into detoxing and I don't think we were supposed to think less of him for that. But this:
(then Sam has the supernatural seizures, and:)
Dean did have a third choice. He could've weaned Sam off demon blood more gradually and they could've decided what to do about Lilith together. And I assumed that at this point we were supposed to--well, not think less of Dean, because both he and Sam are in terrible situations--but understand that this decision is about Dean's weaknesses being exploited. He's deciding wrongly here because he's so afraid of losing Sam to monstrosity. Both Sam and Dean had the choice to trust their flawed but beloved brother enough to compromise or to go along with a callous, untrustworthy enemy they knew perfectly well by then was playing them, and they both chose the enemy.
And the thing for me is, the weaknesses Ruby is exploiting in Sam are his tendency towards revenge, that in his worse moments he sees Dean's pliability in the face of overwhelming pressure as weakness (in both the cases of Alastair and John), and that he sees himself as inherently monstrous (and so is susceptible to being told he can use his "badness" for "good"). The weakness Cas is exploiting in Dean is that he's so emotionally dependent on Sam that he will torture and kill him to keep him "safe". I.e. my analysis above that had the supernatural element removed.
I noticed that @blue-chimera also said essentially that Dean had no choice, and I wonder if you two have seen zmediaoutlet's analysis r.e. Sam's story frequently being about autonomy and Dean's about agency.
She wouldn't put it in exactly these words, but in brief, Sam is often subjected to having his bodily autonomy violated (Azazel, Meg, Lucifer, Gadreel) and Dean is frequently subjected to having his decision-making power assaulted (John parentifying him, Alastair making him "choose" to torture, Chuck manipulating him into feeling he has to shoot Jack). A one-off episode example is Appointment in Samara. Death's whole "you can't have both brothers back, you have to pick one" shtick; what the hell was that all about except agency kink whump? There's no reason given plot-wise; Death is just being a little bitch about it because he can.
As a result, zmediaoutlet says, to some extent Dean has no agency. His sense of agency was compromised so early and completely by John that he doesn't have a core understanding that he can make decisions that are his own because he wants to.
I think maybe this is a big driver of misunderstanding between Sam girls and Dean girls. Sam girls essentially are often saying "omg Dean make a better decision for once in your life" and Dean girls are saying "why won't you listen, he can't!"
In our defense, I think this is something like trying to explain romance to an aro person or how you know you've been assigned the wrong gender to a cis person. It's just really, really difficult to conceptualize such a fundamental difference in how one understands the world and one's self.
When I worked at [large, extremely well-regarded teaching hospital] as a new nurse, it was routine to use these things called posey vests for confused patients (for your medical kink play needs, available here on amazon) so the patients wouldn't try to get out of bed, fall, hit their heads and die. Poseys are vests that zip in the back and have straps that attach to the bedframe. Generally the patient can reposition themself in the bed but not leave it. Although less restrictive than most restraints, they are still restricting a patient's ability to move their body--in this case out of the bed--and patients do very occasionally get caught in the straps and choke to death. Unnecessary use of restraints is patient abuse.
A huge percentage of the patients we poseyed at [large, extremely well-regarded teaching hospital] were unnecessary use of restraints. There are ways to keep almost all confused patients in bed that don't require restraining them. The two most popular are bed exit alarms or having a nurse's aide sit at the bedside to distract the patient and remind them not to get up. Unfortunately these both cost money.
At the level of individual nurses, the choices of what to do about confused patients who tried to get out of bed were all bad. You could refuse to posey them, but then inevitably at some point someone would fall, sustain an injury or die, and you would also be fired and possibly lose your license for neglect. Or you could quit nursing. Or you could posey your confused patients. I made my cost/benefit analysis and poseyed my patients.
I am extremely indebted to and grateful for those loved ones of patients who have died from being poseyed who have sued hospitals' asses into the ground and made this practice much less common than it used to be. I don't feel particularly guilty; the problem was at the institutional level and I did the best I could with the resources I had. It was still abuse. I literally cannot conceptualize thinking of it any other way.
For me personally, there is a core inside me that knows who I am, that is solid, and that is the source of my values and decisions and actions. It knows where I end and where other people start. When I do shitty or dysfunctional things it goes "welp that was shitty, don't do it again" or "welp, nothing to be done about that shitty thing, lets move on" or "oh boy this one is a doozy, sucks to be us but we should work on a solution".
I think Dean lacks this solid interior core. It was socialized out of him by John. And I think many Dean girls find this aspect of his struggle iddy--that this is a big part of what makes him The Blorbo for them--just as many Sam girls find autonomy issues iddy and they make Sam The Blorbo for us.
When I put it this way to myself, actually it seems hopeful. If this is true then maybe like other deep fundamental issues of how one experiences the world that are not wholly translatable, maybe we can still learn to be more patient with each other purely through understanding the difference exists and it shapes how one thinks and feels.
It's really, really, really, really hard to turn off the GenXer in my soul when it comes to labeling things as abusive. And, like, I fully realize that that probably isn't a good thing, I do, but come on... being an asshole doesn't automatically equal being abusive. Having strong negative emotions that they aren't good at filtering, so they end up lashing out at the people close to them, that's not abusive, that's just being a messy, messed up human being. Right? I'm so glad that there is so much more emotional awareness and intelligence in younger generations, I am, but I just don't get it sometimes. Like my own personal concept of boundaries involves too much "whatever"
for me to feel... well, much of anything too negative on a personal level. And yeah, it's a kind of trauma response, a generational trauma response of just not letting shit get to us because we couldn't make any difference about it anyway, so, you know... whatever. But that shit is programmed in there too deep now. And my kneejerk, gut reaction is too often just "walk it off." But I don't like being so callously dismissive of other people's feelings, but folks are just so sensitive and it's exhausting and I think that maybe there's a good midway point that we swung too far past, but where we are careful and courteous towards each other without the constant need for coddling or kid gloves or something. Or maybe not, idk. But every time I see people making those posts about all the insane shit that GenXers grew up with and how that makes us scary and not to be messed with, I'm just sitting here thinking that the real super power my generation has, that also happens to be our achilles' heel, is so perfectly summed up by a dismissive and detached "whatever." Because while we are hard to rattle, we are also hard to engage. So anyway, all that to say that while I'm probably wrong, I do not think that Dean is abusive.

I made a list of recurring characters on spn and listed their deaths to compare the writers.
A few things I learned:
Brett Matthews basically came in to kill the whole Campbell family and left.
Steve Yockey wrote 11 episodes and never really killed anyone except Dean for 5 minutes in Advanced Thanatology just so he could talk to Billie.
Andrew Dabb has killed the whole TFW 2.0 + Crowley and Rowena.
Jeremy Carver probably wrote the most deaths in one single episode (Mystery Spot).
Robbie Thompson only killed Meg, and Jenny Klein only killed Samandriel.
Bucklemming wrote 38 episodes together?!! Anyways, they have the worst death list.
And Eric Kripke has a lot of deaths but the episodes are mostly the end or beginning of a season.
The list of characters include: Dean, Sam, Ruby, Bela, Castiel, Jimmy Novak, Crowley, Lucifer, Nick, Jack, Rowena, Bobby, John, Mary, Jessica, Meg, Ellen, Jo, Ash, Victor, Rufus, Pamela, Samuel Campbell, Anna, Death (not Billie), Gwen and Christian Campbell, Balthazar, Charlie, Kevin, Benny, Samandriel, Gadreel, Hannah, Eileen, Kelly, Gabriel, Billie, Mick Davies, Arthur Ketch, and Michael.
I didnât count alternate universe people or when someone is instantly resurrected, or the snap at 15x18. I also included Bennyâs deaths (him staying in Purgatory, and his death being mentioned in 15x09).
If you want to see the whole list I have it here.

Same question to you, what actor can't you stand?
Jared Padalecki. Putting aside his history on social media and the way he's behaved in the past, his acting is mediocre. I was watching one of his movies last night from 2002, and his performance there is the same performance he's been giving for the last 20 years: The bland "Nice Guy" character who comes off as a douchebag because of the way he's written. I also didn't care for his performance on Supernatural. He was suppose to have played multiple characters besides Sam Winchester (Meg, Lucifer, Gadreel, etc) and they were all similar performances with little to no variety between them. It just came off like he was playing Sam, except as more of an asshole. He doesn't have much range as an actor, and his current performance on Walker is nothing to brag about.
Controversial opinion, but I also never cared for John Wayne. My dad likes watching his movies, but I could never sit through them because he just played the same character over and over again. Little to no variety in the way he acted. The only performance that was different was when he played Genghis Khan, and that was one of the worst performances of his career.

Casâs type:
Mean-ass sarcastic ppl who are also actually big dorks or hiding a tragic vulnerability. Bonus points if their communication style is baffling and needs to be puzzled out. Bonus points if they have beautiful glittering, rapidly shifting emotions that are just this side of childish and are intellectually stimulating.
Dean, Meg, Balthazar (the frog joke omg), Rowena (she flusters him), probably Eileen (if hell trauma and trust issues emphasized), Anael, probably Lily Sunder (post loss of her child), Bela Talbot, Mary (he approves of her fierce warrior bullshit donât tell me differently), Andrea but when sheâs a self-hating vampire, Noah the Gorgon maybe but he might be too verbose and smooth talking and get Crowley-zoned, Adam Milligan maybe!, that anchor lady that shifts between gentle and cold as the story needs it, Bobby Singer
I think Bela is a top contender here. Heâd crack through her and tell her sheâs good and itâs not her fault what her father did, and sheâd crumble and it would be another big ship of all time.
Not Casâs type:
Sweetie pies & library nerds
Hannah đ, Kelly Kline, Sam, Mick, Charlie, Gadreel, Samandriel, Donna (almost but sheâs just not mean or difficult/challenging enough), Muriel, Benjamin, original Lily Sunder sans revenge, Garth, Jimmy Novak, Anna Milton
Casâs personal NOTPâs:
No explanations needed, mostly
Crowley (another almost; like he should, Crowley wants him to, but Cas doesnât and itâs kinda hilarious; killing Meg didnât help ofc; compared with Balthazar and even Rowena, Crowley is lacking in adorableness which is why Crowley tries playing this up later by being singsong and cutesy and itâs hilarious because it still doesnât work; yes it drives Crowley nuts that Sam and Cas are more attracted to Rowena than to him tyvm), Benny, Ketch, probably Dumah, Metatron, Naomi, Belphagor, Michael, Gabriel, Billie the reaper/Death, Amara (like with Crowley it should work but it doesnât because itâs off)
Itâs hilarious to me the fine line b/t Cas finding someone adorable instead of annoying. Balthazar? Adorable. Belphagor? Annoying. Meg? Adorable. Crowley? Annoying.
Casâs actual besties:
The meanest of the mean
Uriel, Sergei, I could see Ruby, Cas also gets along a little too well with Lucifer, probably Rufus
Cas loves mean friends because theyâre BLUNT and although he is charmed and romantically stimulated by baffling ppl that need to be worked out like a puzzle⊠he likes his actual besties to be blunt like hammers and just say what they really think outright
Not Raphael though because Raphael is too fatalistic and Cas does not enjoy that bullshit heâd rather get up to chaos
Sam would be Casâs bestie except they only do dumb dangerous shit because itâs all they have in common. You canât tell me Samâs face doesnât fall when he learns Cas likes trash TV, doesnât enjoy library research and case files, and doesnât like computers/tech. Sam is a whiz kid and Cas is a grouchy old man and Sam is offended that Casâs smarts go to waste. Also, Sam is too nice.

Okay okay thanks to @brotherwives I can't stop thinking about how Dean sees (Sam's) love as something he deserves to possess and how Sam sees (his own) love as something he has to give.
Because dean felt like he needed to prove that Sam was his after meg, ruby, lucifer, gadreel... and Sam felt like he needed to show that Yes, he does belong to dean. That he owes dean that.
And they're just fallen into this and it's just so normal for them.
Like Sam has never made a decision for himself, dean has made them all for him. The panic room? It was deans choice if Sam was gonna live or die, it was deans choice if Sam could drink blood or not. Sam's soul? It was deans choice to shove it back into Sam (despite his protesting.) The trials? It was deans choice if Sam was gonna finish them or not. Gadreel? Deans choice. The s10 finale is a perfect example of how dean is Sam's executioner and protector at the same time. Sam's life belongs to dean. No one else has the right to take Sam's life except dean.
And on and on the list goes. But over the years Sam has fallen into this and accepted it. He feels like he owes dean that after running away and Stanford and the demon blood and Lucifer... So he lets dean possess him, he lets dean treat him like he belongs to dean. And you know what? Sam probably finds comfort in that. He probably likes knowing that dean will always want him around, no matter what.
#don't mind me I'm just rambling#but they're like so insane but it's so /normal/ to them#My brain is gonna explode#I cannot even begin to try to comprehend them#gencest#gen#sam winchester#dean winchester#sam and dean#supernatural#spn meta#? i guess#weirdchesters#lmao#possessive!dean

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the later seasons of Supernatural, overall, than the first few. Even after the angels came in during s4, I found them mostly boring.
I can't watch the beginning of s7 because Lucifer is so fucking irritating, but I actually enjoy the Leviathan as a whole. And all of the Dick jokes. Because I'm 12.
Seasons I absolutely can't watch under any circumstances (except for a handful of specific episodes) are 6, 8, 9, and 11.
6 can get fucked forever. That pile of angst, that absolutely ridiculous Cas-was-the-villain-all-along circlejerk. I hated him for like 6 seasons after that. HATED. LIKE GET THIS FUCKING CHARACTER OUT OF MY FACE - HATED.
8 is disgusting. Amelia is horrible, and the LOST-esque flashback storytelling was annoying af. Also, as I mentioned, I hated Cas at the time (and I love Dean, clearly) so I was like "DEAN JUST LEAVE HIM THERE!" the whole time. I also hated Benny and found his presence grating. And don't even get me started on Purgatory! GRAY. EVERYTHING IS GRAY. IS IT DAY, IS IT NIGHT, WHO CARES!
Season fucking NINE. I do not give even a single fuck about the angels falling, I find the plot with Gadreel possessing Sam to be so gross and cringe that it gives me secondhand embarrassment, and Metatron is the ACTUAL WORST. Get all of these motherfuckers out of my face forever. Abaddon? AbaDON'TCARE. But we do meet Cain, which is the absolute highlight for me because I'm in love with him.
11...where do I even fucking begin? No, seriously, because it's such a shitty season that I can barely remember what happens. I mean, Amara, and Chuck's big reveal (which surprised no one) but other than that I've got nothing. I think there's a Claire episode that season, though, and I love those. I think maybe the one where the vampires go after Alex. Literally the best thing about s11 is Casifer because Misha nails it. I mean, just NAILS IT. I used to study acting (like I wanted to be a for real actress) so I have mad respect for that shit. It always annoys me when someone gets a new vessel and suddenly doesn't act the same. Like when Meg was The Empty and just acted like Meg despite the fact that Misha basically played it like a 60s Star Trek villain, and then Duma (I forget the actress' name, sorry) went down that same road and acted over-the-top psychotic. But then, nope, basically just Meg being Meg.
ANYWAY.
My favorite season for all time is 10, even though we lose Charlie. MOC!Dean my beloved. I don't know, it just rattles my cage in the right way. Rowena is there, Sam is desperate to save Dean because he still feels guilty about not looking for him in Purgatory (I say confidently, as if that isn't just my headcanon,) etc. I actually blamed Cas for Charlie getting killed because of how little I liked him at the time, but I've since changed my stance on that. We also get to see Cain again doing all of the hottest murders, but then we lose him and I'm sad about it. The showdown in the barn with Dean is really great, though. What is with these people and barns?
Season 12 blessed us with some amazing episodes. Three of my favorites from the entire series happen in a row in s12. Stuck in the Middle (With You), Lily Sunder, and Regarding Dean. I actually really like the Men of Letters plot and the whole mythos with them, which I think is an entirely separate unpopular opinion. I can (and have) watched seasons 12 - 15 over and over again.
And in case it wasn't obvious, I have also changed my stance on Cas and I don't hate him anymore. He started dropping truth bombs and being 1000% over Everyone's Shit around s12. Then I got involved in fandom and changed my stance about him in the earlier seasons, as well.
Anyway, no one asked me and no one cares, but I was just thinking about Supernatural, as one does.
Constantly. I literally can't stop thinking about it.

Hey, I'm curious. What do you think about the second half of season 9? I've read so many opposite opinions. Some blaming Dean for not apologizing and taking the mark so fast, other blaming Sam for keeping the "we are not brothers" for longer than necessary even when he saw Dean was drowning. I wish we had more explicit concern from Sam, but season 10 made it up to me. But yeah, I'm curious đ Have a nice day đ
Hey hunâ
You know, what I love about Supernatural is the bond between Sam and Dean so for me, season 9 was kinda hard to watch. But, except for Bloodlines (who made absolutely no sense to me) I think the season was good. I really enjoyed the MOC storyline. Jensen totally killed it.Â
Also letâs be honest, some bro angst makes good television (see seasons 4 and 5) and in the end, we know the boys will find their way to each other.Â
âSome blaming Dean for not apologizing and taking the mark so fastâ Dean was not in a good place in season 9, even before the Mark. Sam was dying, he had to trick him to save him & felt terrible about lying to him then Gadreel took control and went on a killing spree and Dean felt responsible. Add to that the whole Abbadon mess and Crowley being a manipulative shit. I donât really blame Dean for the MOC. He did what he had to do. And he couldn't talk about it with Sam anyway.Â
âOther blaming Sam for keeping the "we are not brothers" for longer than necessary even when he saw Dean was drowning.â Storyline speaking, the ânot being brother anymoreâ makes sense. I wish the writers found another way to keep Sam & Dean apart tho, cause man, it broke my heart. Sam was too in a bad place in season 9. First he is dying, then he comes back for Dean, then he starts to feel that something is wrong & then he finds out he was possessed by an angel who took control of his body to murder people. And after what happened with Meg and Lucifer, no wonder he was pissed. Dean, the one who he trusted the most, tricked him and lied to him for months.Â
Anyway, I think both brothers are to blame. But like I said, in the end, they both found their way to each other.

You Make It Real
Read it on AO3 here!https://ift.tt/2WVlMt7
by Destiel_Storyteller (Arden_Winchester_1982)
John Winchester never thought heâd be so disappointed in his boys, except the day they presented as Omegas. Now, he has to find someone to take them.
Dean manifested as an Omega and met with his fatherâs wrath and disgust. Now, he's disfigured and every Alpha prospect heâs had is gone. Now he was being arranged to marry one of the richest men in the country. When Sam presented as an Omega, John was angry and disowned both brothers. Now, he was being arranged to marry one of the richest men in the country--Gabriel Novak.
James Novak wanted his boys married and happy--like he was. 3 of his boys were married with children, but the sweet and kind-hearted Gabriel and Castiel were having trouble finding suitable mates. So when he heard about millionaire John Winchester looking for mates for his 2 boys he went to him to negotiate. Castiel Novak was too busy to have a mate, but then he met the most beautiful and sassiest Omega. Gabriel Novak was one of the top Peds doctors in the country. His father thought it was time he took a mate. He never expected to fall in love with the beautiful man on sight.
Can Cas and Gabe show Dean and Sam that despite everyoneâs conclusions they can love them?

Who do you think is the best actor in the spn cast and why? Also, do you think Alexander Calvert (Jackâs actor) is good?
Iâve answered that here.  Jared Padalecki is a character actor and Jensen Ackles is a personality actor. To simplistically answer your question, Jared is the best actor in the cast.
Character actors are versatile and can play different characters with apparent effortlessness. Because character actors disappear into their, well, characters, they are not stars, they work steadily but theyâre not stars with few exceptions. Examples: Daniel Day Lewis, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Steve Buscemi. They are always praised for their performances but they are not box office draw, meaning people wonât go to a film just because theyâre in it, whereas they might with personality actors like Tom Cruise.
Personality actors excel at playing one type of role partly due to their limited range. What they do well, they do it great because when they commit to a role, they really commit! Tom Cruise did for all his films even the ones where heâs miscasted.  Rock of Ages was a terrible movie and none of the characters were likable, but Tom at least made his character interesting.  He knew his role lacked character and he added to it (like demanding crazy stuff like a monkey side-kick) and by doing so made the only proper character in the entire film. Not everyone would do that, even actors who understand their characters, but he does whatever he can to make sure we know his character. Â
Personality actors are usually stars of blockbuster fims so for this reason some people initially thought Jensen is the star of Supernatural. Jensen made a bigger impression with Dean than Jared did with Sam in the early seasons because Jensen has been playing Jensen âDean Winchesterâ Ackles for the majority of his TV and movie roles since 1998. Jensen had a 7 years head start compared to Jared who was just starting to play Sam.Â
There was a popular gifset of Jensen as Jason Teauge on Smallville going around tumblr and every time it shows up on my dash, itâs tagged as âDean Winchesterâ, even rabid SPN fans canât tell that itâs not Dean. Itâs the same for pictures or gifsets of Tom Hanniger, Jake Grey, and Alec McDowel, they are usually tagged as âDean Winchesterâ. The roles are different, itâs Jensen who plays them similarly.
Then you have the same people correctly tagging Jaredâs characters in the same show as Meg, Lucifer, Gary, Ezekiel, and Gadreel. The correct tagging extends to his non-SPN roles like Clay Miller, Thomas Kinkade, and older Dean Forrester. People can tell that Jared is not playing Sam even when thereâs no tags or captions. As Sam Winchester there are also 50 different shades to go with the same character, like Stanford Sam, DB addict Sam, contrite Sam, haunted by personal demon Sam, trial weakend Sam, and surrogate father Sam. Â
Alexander, from the clips of his past work, is a good actor. Iâll put him in the character actor category. As of now I donât think he is lead material but the potential is there.

Another very pleasant discovery in my exploration of the âDead Dove: Do not eatâ tag for SPN on Ao3. If youâve ever read Wool by Hugh Howey, there is a lot of similarity to this ficâŠjust SPN and a WHOLE lot lighter and fluffier. The brothers are completely clueless, Castiel has chocolate, and Gabe is the only one of our intrepid crew who knows anything, really, about sex. Donât let the length scare you - this is a fast and easy read. [Canon-typical character death - casual and pervasive - it is the post-apocalypse, after all.]
Chapters: 14/14 Words: 120,335 Rating: Explicit  Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Castiel/Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester/To Be Revealed, Past One-Sided Benny Lafitte/Dean Winchester, [some othersâŠ]

Summary: Albert Einstein predicted that, while he didnât know with what weapons World War III would be fought, World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones. He wasnât far off. Humanity is surviving in a world without daylight, in a society where emotions are a luxury no one is allowed to have. But how important is surviving when you have nothing to live for? Two hunters find the answer to that question when they stumble over a miracle in the shape of a strange, blue-eyed man in a beige coat bearing⊠chocolate? Whatever that is.  [Goddamn beautiful Art by amberdreams]
