dean might be a big fan of the wild west but he doesn’t like reverse cowgirl because he thinks that you shouldn’t turn your back on family

These are like my first ever supernatural drawings

I wish we could have explored Jack and Dean's relationship so much more for so many reasons but one of them is because I think that Dean would a have a spiral about who he is to Jack, trying to apply human logic to the situation, and I think it would be hilarious. Like one day he walks into the kitchen and Sam and Jack lift their heads and smile in the exact same way and he can see that they have the exact same breakfast and are both reading books and sipping their drinks at the same time and it's so obvious in that moment that Sam is his Dad and that he inherited something of Sam from just being around him but then he thinks of all the things Sam inherited from him and he starts freaking out like if Sam is unquestionably Jack's Dad does that make me just his uncle? But I definitely feel like more than that to him? I certainly have fucked up with him like I'm something more... And with Sam it's complicated because Sam is kind of my son... so that makes him kind of my grandchild? And once Jack leaves the room Sam asks what's up and Dean just opens his mouth and has a meltdown like "am I Jack's uncle grandpa?" And Sam rolls his eyes like "no Cas is Jack's Dad so that makes you his Dad as well, like with Claire." And something in Dean settles and he's like "ohhhh yeah obviously because of Cas I'm his Dad. Like with Claire. Yes of course." And then three hours later he malfunctions because "wait, Claire is my kid. Because of Cas. Jack is my kid. Because of Cas. Why do Cas's kids automatically become my kids?? Who is Cas to me if that is something that happens???" And then he spirals again but gayer this time.

so cas heard dean’s incredibly homosexually charged apology prayer, then admits to having heard this. while they are making eye contact. and they don’t make out??? what is this show

[deancasforcutie]

now RogueTranslator!Gate is years behind us I simply deserve to see these good true words on their own peace and love on planet earth

[destiel-wings]

I did another one 😂

👉🏻 FYI I think both Sam AND ESPECIALLY DEAN are extremely smart (i don't think Dean is dumb at all, even though he thinks he is!!), but they can also be the dumbest in a cute kind of way (and that's why we love them) so don't take this seriously, they're my dumb babies, okay? It's affectionate

here was the previous one

lananatural meaning spn with lana del rey lyrics goes pretty hard, but consider this: lananatural meaning my objectively correct and sexy opinions

basically for the final scene the crew built the attic and they sent in a bug wrangler and filled it with bees

here’s a quote from a cast member that day

“And then we were put up into the attic for the finale of the episode. And I’m sure the boys have told this story, but Kim Manners, the director, came into the attic and took his protective suit off too and was just in there in his regular clothing like the rest of us cast, and it was one of those moments when the director was definitely on our side. He let it be known that he was there for us and he was a team player. Because me and Jared and Jensen were all there in the attic with just regular clothing on and there were 50,000 bees buzzing around, you know? They did a sting test on us to make sure we weren’t allergic or anything before we went in there. And then Jared sat on a bee and it stung his butt, which was quite hilarious.”

this is Hilarious thank you so much

let's talk about the bridge.

[spnwiki links known filming locations when available. in all three episodes, this is listed as the spur 4 bridge, lower seymour conservation reserve. it may appear in more episodes, but i'm not sure.]

the bridge appears in 05x02 (good god, y'all!), 13x18 (bring 'em back alive), and 15x20 (carry on). now. do i think this specific bridge was specially chosen each time to communicate a certain message? with respect to the crew, nah, probably not. do i think you can read a pattern here? ooh, yes. tl;dr: you cannot cross the bridge. merely standing on it means the rules have just changed in a reality-bending, fucked-up-beyond-all-repair sort of way. attempting to complete the crossing is an acceptance of the new rules.

in 05x02, the bridge appears as dean and sam are driving into river pass, colorado, the town controlled by war. the bridge is broken. they drive halfway across the bridge and stop. this is the first sign to sam and dean that something is seriously wrong here. this is no normal demon hunt. this is a problem on a scale larger than they can grasp. there's a literal gap between them and the town! they have to leave the car (/home) parked on the bridge and hike in. they are entering uncharted territory.

when they do, they find people killing each other and seeing demons where there are none. war is altering reality and playing people off each other. jo attacks ellen! rufus attacks sam! the townspeople turn on ellen and dean! you can't trust anyone! but actually...you can. none of them are demons. the danger is real, but it's not what it appears. and no one has ever come across anything like this before.

so what do sam and dean learn? the apocalypse is here. there's no going back. the rules have changed. the tactics they've always used don't work, because they are in a new reality now. and they accept that. while they can't physically walk/drive across the bridge, they do complete the crossing of their own volition. they accept that their world is different now and they will adapt to it.

in 13x18, dean and ketch are in apocalypse world walking near the bridge. they see a group of angels leading a group of shackled, hooded prisoners across the bridge.

two of the prisoners are executed by the angels right there. they do not cross the bridge. they die playing by the same rules they always have. it's the apocalypse, and they'll fight, but the angels are the angels and it's tough to win as a human. when i started writing this post i thought charlie had crossed the bridge, symbolizing her entrance into a new reality. but she doesn't! the angels fly away with her, without any of them ever crossing the bridge (below are back-to-back screencaps. sorry for the lack of visual but trust me on this)

charlie doesn't fully cross the bridge. she gets halfway across and then the angels fly her somewhere else. dean is hoping she finishes crossing. if she does, it's like she's crossing into his world. maybe this charlie will be just like the charlie he knew and lost. maybe he can save her. maybe he can undo it. but she doesn't cross and he so he can't get to her!

when he and ketch eventually catch up with her at the silo and escape, charlie hears about dean's universe and chooses to stay in hers. because it's hers. charlie's reality has been fucked with, certainly, but she chooses to accept the reality she knows and stay in it (for now at least). she's not outright rejecting the new reality of parallel universes, but she's also not letting the new reality dictate her actions. it's her home, it's her fight, and she's staying. she doesn't complete the crossing.

so that brings us to. deep sigh. 15x20. dean drives onto the bridge, ostensibly in heaven. he drives about halfway across. and stops. he does not cross the bridge. he gets out of the car and hesitantly walks around the front of it. i won't show you all the screencaps but he touches the car and stays pretty close to it as he walks.

the last one is about the furthest point he walks across the bridge, give or take. he doesn't go far from the car (which is a good strong symbol of dean's reality and home). you can see there's two vertical posts in the space between him and the car. when the final shot zooms out from him and sam, they are magically further across the bridge, about halfway across, about five vertical posts away.

dean standing on the bridge means the rules have changed. his world is different now. he cannot go back. this especially works with the next scene, which is the one of the cast and crew in our world saying goodbye. now, can you say that dean dying and going to heaven is the change? sure. but he doesn't cross the bridge. he doesn't accept it. could you say that simply means he's in denial about his death and apparent ascension? i guess. "but what about sam?!" shhhh, not right now.

i think it works much better as dean recognizing there is a new and unknown reality on the other side of that bridge, and instinctively knowing that there is something wrong. that he doesn't want to accept that reality. that if he finishes the crossing, he will be accepting it and will be unable to go back. and sam just appearing out of nowhere, seemingly materializing onto the middle of the bridge without actually taking steps to cross it? somehow moving dean with him so they're both further across the bridge? well maybe that's not real. maybe that's a trick to try to get dean to cross. maybe his acceptance of the new reality will sever his connection to his actual reality - war destroying the bridge in 05x02 certainly did that for the townspeople.

i know others have talked about dean crossing the bridge as an acceptance or an ascension, i'm nowhere near the first person to come up with that. but i do want to call attention to the previous iterations of the bridge. a broken bridge sam and dean cross, only to find war beyond it, an enemy the likes of which they have never seen. a bridge charlie is nearly forced to cross, but which she's taken away from before she can complete it (which would be more likely to lead her to jump realities). and a bridge dean starts to cross, but doesn't. a bridge that appears first in dean's reality, then in apocalypse world, then in dean's heaven, and then in our world, with jensen dressed as dean saying goodbye. and nobody ever crosses that bridge. it's a false promise. you can't do it. all you can do is stand on it and hope you'll be okay, even though you can't go back.

if we really wanna split hairs and talk about AUs and cross overs

Constantine exists in the Supernatural universe BECAUSE of Scooby Doo.

Scooby Doo has a bunch of crossovers, one of which being Batman. And that episode of Supernatural when they get stuck in a Scooby Doo episode that basically made it (in my mind at least) cannon that they exist in the same universe. SO WITH THAT SAID, not only do the Harlem Globe Trotters and WWE superstars exist in the SDU (Scooby Doo Universe), but Batman and Robin also exist. Which can only mean that other DC comic heroes and villains exist there.

And even if you want to argue that in the cannon SPN universe both pieces of media (DC and SD) are treated as their media (cartoons and comics alike) Alternate Universes exist, canonically. Like Sam and Dean go to alternate realities from their own. Literally go into a SD episode to fight monsters!? So that being said, there is an actual alternate reality where they all exist.

Anyways, AU fic where Constantine fights demons alongside Sam and Dean, OR Constantine has to deal with an overly chipper group of mystery-enthused teens and their concerningly literate talking dog.

uh oh guys i just started watching Supernatural for the first time in the year 2024

Genuinely think if Cas chose to ever take a seat slightly further from Dean than he could when there was a closer option, Dean would stare at him, raise his eyebrows, mutter things under his breath, do a full silent conversation where he expresses his feelings of betrayal while staring right at Cas and Cas would tilt his head, cross his arms, uncross his arms, roll his eyes and then move with a sigh and then Dean would finally pick up where he left off on describing the circumstances of their latest hunt.
