it's really funny to see a post about someone's interpretation of dean with like thousands of notes that i feel like misses several marks regarding his character due to their chronic omittance from sam and how sam factors into dean's character/winchester familial dynamics and how it makes dean the tragedy that he is, then when i click on their blog they're a huge lestat fan that doesn't really acknowledge louis. many such cases

#like generally i think the point of dean as mary is the fact that it's an inherently impossible role to fill #based on the fact that the role is based on mary as a symbol rather than the role she tried to fill and much less #the person she actually was. dean could never fill that role and he never did #and the tragedy is the fact that 1) he was given/attempted to fill it in the first place and #2) the fact that he never did fill it but he lost himself in the process anyway #then in the process folding himself into a person that wanted to fill that role + the role he needed to fill in his relationship with john #sam ended up becoming more like the real non-symbol wire mother mary than he ever could almost in a way that feels on behalf of dean #they became mirrored characters!! where's finalgirlwinchester's tags about #both of them being idealists who want to believe in a greater good (2.13 'you know who else had faith like that? - mom')#about both mary and sam choosing to work with the bmol #mary wanting to work with them out of a desire for an endpoint. faith in a better world. that change is possible #no more monsters -> no more hunting -> freedom for her family and everyone else #like that's sam!! cut the head off the snake! (4.12) the light at the end of the tunnel! (8.14)#s12 showed us that sam's tunnel-visioned nature is more mary than it ever could be john #like my favour sam-mary mirror is the captivity room in the bmol base vs the panic room:#taken autonomy for attempts at independence from your role with dean !!#anyway #ludere
