S5E05, “Fallen Idols”

[shallowseeker]

I'm breaking this one out by itself because it's a little funny.

*Dean's phone rings*

*Dean answers without looking*

*Dean proceeds to yell at Cas*

Ah, right. What could possible be so important?

/////

Sam goes on to tell Dean that *drumroll* Sam is Lucifer's true vessel.

WOW! Scary!

DEAN: *sarcastically* Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in, huh Sammy? SAM: That's it? That's your response?

It's... completely lost of Sam, though, the REASON for Dean's sarcasm.

See. It's this: now that Sam's found out that HE'S a vessel, he's in his car, an absolute FIRE lit under his goddamned tail, EAGER to get back in and fight.

Sam.

SAMMY.

🤦🤦🤦🤦

Dean throws a hint.

DEAN: *sarcastically again* I guess I'm a little numb to the earth-shattering revelations at this point. SAM: Well what are we gonna do about it?

And Sam... still doesn't get it.

Sigh.

Here's the thing. Sam wasn't panicking when they learned that Dean was a vessel. Only Cas and Bobby were panicked and stressed. They were mean, but they were at least aware of the reality of things.

But Sam.

Yes, Sam was going through things, struggling with things, and taking time to go through things is okay. But on the other hand, it definitely still hurts that Sam wasn't insisting on staying in the fight on Dean's behalf, to protect Dean from becoming a vessel.

But now that Sam's learned that he's a vessel?

Boom.

It's not even that, though. It's this whole conversation.

Because what's missing here? Empathy for Dean's plight.

Sam doesn't realize that this is why he's perpetually at... the kids' table. This right here.

In this whole conversation, Sam is eaten up with ranting about his own feelings, about how he's sick of being a puppet, and how he's going to hunt Lucifer down and gain redemption.

Sam's all about "how he can do this," how he's "gonna prove it to you."

It makes him seem a lot younger than he is.

....

There's no acknowledgment of how helpless Dean must have been feeling all this time, knowing that he's been targeted by an archangel, about how scary this whole thing is.

Hell, even Cas acknowledged Dean's fears re: Michael.

I mean: He did it in his Cas way, but it still acknowledged the enormity of the fear.

Cas:

///

Meanwhile, Sam back in 5x01, right after DEAN learned about being Michael's vessel: Geez, why is everyone so cranky and stressed?

🥺Dean, what do you mean that you didn't mean your pep talk to Bobby? Whaaaat? 🥺

///

....

And the thing is. Not "getting it"? That's understandable. But this conversation is just... devoid of support for Dean.

And they're not. Sam's zapping all the strength for himself.

When they've been together lately, Dean is the big brother who lends support, and Sam isn't giving anything back. Sam's out to prove himself, not to support others.

And they tell older siblings and parents to be patient, to let them learn, to step back and forgive, to be "a soft place to land."

That's hard to do. And it's exhausting.

And aside// Sam's apology to (demon) Bobby was SO MUCH NICER. Sam, where is this humility and energy for other people????

SAM: No, actually. Bobby, this is all my fault. I'm sorry. Lilith did not break the final seal. Lilith was the final seal. I killed her, and I set Lucifer free. You guys warned me about Ruby, the demon blood, but I didn't listen. I brought this on. I'm sorry.

🩸Bloody Dean Every Episode🩸 ↳ 5x05 || Fallen Idols

[supernatural-24]

Dean being excited to talk about James Dean in 5x05 (Fallen Idols) is so devastating to me because James was literally displayed as the posterboy of masculinity for years whilst he struggled with his own identity, pushed so many of the people closest to him away, was desperately terrified of his bisexuality, excessively drank, barely identified with his home town, had a distant father also a mother that passed away when he was young. Like it's literally him and it's so tragic. They also both died young. (Although James was a lot younger than Dean)(James Dean's life was very interesting too and I recommend researching him if you are interested in old Hollywood or queer history)

spn 5x05 fallen idols is crazy cause it’s like. dean is treating sam like a bad kid instead of an equal and constantly belittling him and openly saying he doesn’t get a choice in what they’re doing and has been doing this for ages <3. and sam is mostly just. going along with it. because this is the condition of being with his brother, he guesses, and also he deserves it for being evil (operating the best way he could’ve from the information he was given, and also disobeying dean). and sam’s greatest idol in life is gandhi, famous pacifist, and dean’s is their abusive father. and also paris hilton is there.

[t00muchheart]

It will never not be funny that supernatural made The End, a haunting depiction of a world without hope where Dean is faced with Sam having said yes and with himself losing his humanity, and immediately followed it with the Paris Hilton episode
