I love when they parallel sam and cas, the way they kept switching between the two scenes???? the way they both hesitate???? hell yeah. while it is true that dean and cas have a closer relationship, sam and cas are more kindred spirits in the way they're often manipulated, used, misunderstood and even punished for trying to do right and fucking up (often by dean)

they just want to do better and they constantly keep getting fucked over for it

Dean: [Calls Cas]

Cas: Hi.

Dean: Cas. How you doing, buddy?

Cas: [While watching TV] Oh, I'm fine.

Dean: Find anything on Metatron?

Cas: Oh, nothing on angel radio.

Dean: ...How long's it been since you left the bunker?

Cas: Oh, why would I leave? I've got everything I need right here.

Dean: Wait, is that- are you watching Jenny Jones?

Cas: It's a rerun. She's just about to announce the paternity results.

Jenny Jones on the TV: You are the father.

Cas: [Rolls his eyes and throwing his head back looking Clearly disappointed and annoyed by this result] Jenny, he is not ready to be a father.

Dean: Okay I- I thought you were going with socially acceptable binge-watching. Y'know, The Wire, Game of Thrones.

Cas: Yeah, well, a man can't live on caviar alone, Dean.

All of this happening while Cas is just Chilling in Sam's room... and that he later moves to laying on Sam's bed after he has upsetting flashbacks about being under the attack dog spell/getting beat near to death by MOC!Dean... not Cas moving from the chair to Sam's bed because he was Upset and needed the comfort to calm himself down because Sam wasn't there himself... hold on I am THINKING

watching 'our little world' and i'm mind blown by how good of a parent crowley is. how patient he is, like sure he has amara with him from selfish reasons, for her power but like C'MON when amara acts out and he uses his power on her (1) time not to hurt her, to just make her sit back down and he does that annoying parent thing people do when they're like 'i'm older and wiser and you will listen to me and respect me' but later he tries to make up not even out of guilt like he really tries???? he tries to show her he wants to treat her like an equal and i'm not saying he's completely morally okay or justified but he tells her that he is trying to forge a connection and 'you're going too fast and it terrifies me' while it is about amara's power within the context of the plot it's just such a parental sentiment???? you're growing up and idk what to do, i'm holding on too much and it's only making you leave faster

it's also making me think of the way sam and john were and john was shit at handling sam and the whole demon blood thing and if only he'd tried the same techniques as crowley lmao instead he hid everything from his sons, treated sam like a timebomb and i know he was trying to protect sam i get that but he also forced his protection on sam and outright made it seem like he was the be all and end all for sam which just made sam leave faster???? if only he'd been a bit patient they could have avoided the whole demon blood/azazel debacle but instead of telling sam something that directly concerns him he hid it and it made the thing he was worried about happen

vs crowley openly admitting he knows amara is going to be more powerful and asking her to slow down for a bit

(I have no idea how their arc is going to turn out or if crowley is going to fuck up so ignore this if it all goes to shit but crowley is like seriously one of my favourite characters in the sense that he's probably the only parent i've seen repenting and changing so far in 11 seasons, he was an asshole and abusive to gavin but after the human blood shitshow he did try to be better and now he's doing well with amara and I know it counts as manipulation yes I do and amara was naive but he's definitely a better influence than anyone in the show could have been. the winchesters? want to kill her no questions asked. chuck? fuck him. angels?????)
