I saw that post you made about spn it's textual and metaphorical depictions of abuse and stuff. And it made me think, on the other end of the spectrum, spn textually wants and makes it necessary for the Winchesters to defy fate while subtextually often saying it's impossible to defy. The show calls them team free will, but many times when a character tries to use that free will and assess situations/make decisions for themselves it inevitably backfires.

auguhhhhh. YEAH. this is so smart.

#spn is soooo like this in general. asserts things textually and then proceeds to contradict them #it’ll give sam a kickass speech about taking control of his own life and doing what he wants but also narratively frame him as selfish #constantly whenever he does so….. etc etc. augh #it’s so like. hashtag when a show is a certain level of bad that it circles back around to feeling good. because it just feels vaguely meta #im always like. maybe narrative works to undermine the characters all fhe time cause in spn narrative = god textually and god = evil #textually. tho i haven’t finished the show and will think proplerly on that once i have like actually Met god <3 #spn #asks #such a good point op….#oliver talks
