Dean Winchester every day -- 311/326

Supernatural 15x05//Proverbs 17:3

[uh-ohspaghettio]

I love how in season 15 Chuck gives Dean a freshly out of college aged girl and it’s like 😏😏😏 and Dean is like tf am I supposed to do with this???

SUPERNATURAL l S15E05 Proverbs 17:3

[wishbonedean]

If I saw these messages on my brother's phone and saw how much he's worrying all by himself, I too would playfully mock him about his hubris and reaction to ghost pepper jerky, just to give him something else to think about.

Dean dreams of Mary facing Lucifer in 13x01...and Mary burns.

Sam dreams of Dean facing Lucifer in 15x05...and Dean burns.

🩸Bloody Dean Every Episode🩸- 15x05 Proverbs 17:3

[fallenangelblade]

thinking many thoughts about how chuck was banking on the certainty that dean could be easily seduced by a woman 15 years younger than him, and dean didn’t look at her sideways even once. in fact, he behaves almost fatherly towards her, offering reassurance and the same kind of gentleness and care he’d extend to claire, his surrogate daughter.

meanwhile, dean spends the first half of the episode trying to tell sam that nothing has changed since we first met him in season one - he’s still the same guy he’s always been. AS we’re being shown that chuck’s characterization of his own favorite character is outdated and one-dimensional. neither of them can acknowledge the growth that dean has experienced.

Lmao the idea that Lilith could seduce Dean is sooooo. It's so unserious not even dean gives it a second thought

[ohsc]

no actually more thoughts on 15x05 this fucking SUCKS that once again sam had to go through thinking that he’s having freaky nightmares about his loved ones dying and then realising that they’re actually prophecies and once again he and his brother have roles to play after he thought he was out of it all for good i feel sick

• S15 E05 Proverbs 17:3

The absolutely inhuman sound that escaped my throat as soon as Jared Padalecki's glorious back clad in a fucking white tux entered the frane GOD HELP ME- (or maybe not)

[dean-winchester-is-a-warrior]

Good GOD! Imagine waking up next to this face every day.

And pressing close to that body every night!! 🥵🥵

I think it is being right so often that devastates Dean the most, if you think about it.

It makes being wrong hurt so, so, so much more. (No one's going to be right all the time, after all!)

Like Cas's being brought back by God provided fuel for Cas's sense of hubris, Dean's consistent ability to read people, identify their motivations, and make judgment calls is what grounds him.

It's when he makes a wrong move that triggers every one of his downward spirals. In season 9, he says, on making decisions that "He's so sick of making the wrong one."

DEAN: Hell, maybe I still don't. But, uh... I know I took a piece of you in the process, and for that...[DEAN struggles to say the right thing. He finally just vents] Somebody changed the playbook, man, you know? It's like what -- what -- what's right is wrong and what's wrong is more wrong, and... I just know that when... When we rode together... [He pauses, looking for the right words.]

(9x12)

Dean's life has rendered making wrong decisions incredibly painful. Almost intolerable. (Especially since so many of his decisions have been so high-stakes!)

///

Then in later seasons... it gets worse.

First, there was "choking in the fight against AU Michael" in s14

(14x09)

And then s14-15 hits even harder. It's a painful, emotionally devastating setup that results in Dean trusting Chuck and going whole-hog on the whole "God says so" thing.

It's the opposite of everything Dean's ever stood for:

(14x20)

///

Then he spins straight into denial, oscillating between that and anger.

(15x01)

///

And when Belphegor arrives, he pitches into bargaining, too, experiences multiple phases of grief simultaneously. (It's in the script only, but a close reading shows that the next few episodes underline that THIS is the deal with keeping Bel around.)

(15x01)

///

This gives Dean perhaps his heaviest dose of Nihilism yet, effectively rendering him as s4 Cas, "I don't know if you passed or failed here," with Dean saying, "He doesn't know what's God, what isn't."

In Golden Times, Dean is described as "fatalistic."

(15x05)

//

(15x06)

Yeah. I'm always thinking of s15 Dean being so untethered that he reads very as a parallel with early seasons Cas!

I can't find the line in the scripts, but I know one of them in s15 references Dean feeling like his "life work is a hoax."

///

Dean and Cas have spent large parts of their respective lives being either Right or Righteous(TM), especially considering Castiel's incredibly long military history.

Yet in season 10, Cas says this:

CASTIEL: Yes, well, um… Before, I was very self-assured. I was convinced I was on this righteous path. Now I realize that there is no righteous path. It’s just people trying to do their best in a world where it’s far too easy to do your worst.

(10x04)

It's about trying to reconcile your own righteousness with the world, with where you are going to centralize the locus of your morality (i.e. family) in a world whose food chain spirals down so hard that following it will drive you mad if you're not careful!

The theme of righteousness becomes a poughkeepsie word as early as 4x07:

SAM: I just… I mean, I thought they’d be righteous. DEAN: Well, they are righteous, I mean, that’s kinda the problem. Of course there’s nothing more dangerous than some a-hole who thinks he’s on a holy mission.

That is where Dean fins himself in s15, I think. Grappling with what he will choose.

We see how he's grappling with it in s15, but he by no means really recovers in s15 (this is why we need ONE more season):

DEAN: Trust me, uh, bigger doesn't always equal better. Besides, who's gonna look out after the little guy? God certainly isn't.

//

LEE: You don't, Dean? I am you. I'm just you that woke up and saw that the world was broken. DEAN: Then you fix it. You don't walk away. You fight for it.

The funny thing is that Lee echoes a of "I am you's" that AU Michael does. Like characters before him Cain ("you're like me, Dean") and (Crowley "see what what I see, feel what I feel") and Chuck ("the ultimate killer"), Lee is trying to pigeon-hole Dean into being who he thinks he is, something nihilistic and inhumane.

LEE: Ohh. All right. I'll be damned. Why do you care so much, Dean? DEAN: Because someone has to.

(15x07)

Dean fights back against these roles. He fights for his own heart, for his sense of CARING about the little guy.

Maybe it's not about being righteous but letting go of the idea of righteousness.

[garashir]

they’re brothers!???

[the-gray-ghosty]

You know it's going to be a good supernatural episode when Sam is wearing all white

[monstermoviedean]

i really, really, really missed this dean. the one who talks softly and does his best to comfort people. he's always been there but it's nice to see him again.
