Cause of double death, as Nona would say: Supernatural, Season 2, Episode 1, In My Time of Dying

[ghostcreaturetypething]

Fuck I love this scene.

everything about this drives me wild btw. how bloody sam's face is, the way his eyes snap open when he hears footsteps, playing chicken with that demon, how exhausted he is when it's over and he's successfully protected his family, jared's line deliveries, ccr playing......... NUTS

Devil’s Trap

-Dean walks away from Meg and Sam is like “are you okay?” It’s just so cute how Sam shows his care for Dean by paying close attention to him like this

-Dean says he always wanted to be a fireman when he grew up and Sam goes “you never told me that!” in this cute little brother way like he can’t believe Dean would keep something like that from him.

I feel like we as a society (by which I mean the wincest posts that show up on my dash) moved on too quickly from fireman Dean. Dean would be a fantastic fucking fireman. He could put “rescued my perfect sweet-eyed baby brother from three burning buildings” on his resume. He really sees no value in anything that he can’t relate back to Sam, does he?

-The first time Dean knowingly kills someone it’s to save Sam. A love that corrupts etc

Images that feel both illegal and religious

The way Sam melts into Dean completely, mouth open, eyes shut.

Sam says softly “you saved my life back there” which is inherently romantic. Dean tells Sam “For you or dad the things I’m willing to do or kill…it scares me sometimes.” His love for Sam scares him sometimes. Dean also saved Sam in spite of his dad’s disapproval of him using the Colt.

-Dean to possessed John: “He wouldn’t be proud of me… you’re not my dad.” Yikes, condolences. Poor Dean

-Sam walks into the room to find Dean aiming the colt at John and goes “Dean!” right as Dean tells him to stay back. I have a feeling if it had been John aiming a gun at Dean, Sam still would’ve gone “Dean!” and Dean would’ve told him to stay back, and if it were either of them aiming a gun at Sam, Sam still would’ve gone “Dean!” and Dean would’ve told him to stay back. If something’s not right Sam’s gonna yell “Dean!” and Dean’s gonna tell Sam to stay back.

Dean tells Sam John is possessed.

Sam asks how do you know, because Sam likes to be informed, and Dean just says “he’s different.”

That’s enough for Sam. He GETS BEHIND DEAN. This is the underrated samdean moment of all time for me. He doesn’t even hesitate. He tested John with holy water himself, but he knows that Dean knows John well, and he trusts Dean. He said last episode that Dean is the one person he can always count on. And he doesn’t just go to his side, he stands close behind him so that Dean can protect him.

-The demon taunts Dean by saying his family doesn’t need him

and the camera cuts to Sam who’s like. He doesn’t think I need him? 🥺

-Sam shoots their possessed dad in the thigh and immediately runs to kneel by Dean and worry over him. Dean asks Sam to go check on John, and Sam makes a face like What the fuck? I’m busy checking on you

Sam complies and stands over John to check on him. It’s just so different from his concern for Dean. Like, that’s his dad that he just maimed, lying on the floor not moving, and 110% of Sam’s concern is directed at Dean. It’s not a competition, but if it were, Dean would win.

-John tells Sam “shoot me” but Dean tells him not to, so of course he listens to Dean.

John is disappointed in Sam because “killing this demon comes first. Before me, before everything.” Sam looks at Dean in the rearview mirror and says “no sir, not before everything.” John is the one that Sam chose not to kill when he had the chance to kill the demon, and yet it’s Dean he’s thinking about when John says this. Nothing comes before Dean. A big part of Sam’s choice not to shoot when his dad was possessed was not being able to hurt Dean like that, knowing that Dean would rather have John alive than the demon dead. I honestly think he would’ve pulled the trigger if Dean told him to.

It’s a beautiful resolution to their fight last episode when Dean told Sam that he is more important to him than killing the demon. They’re explicitly each other’s top priorities by this last scene.

God I just wanted to take him home and look after him in this episode, look at his face

The doctors won't do anything, then we'll have to, that's all.

Dean carrying/grasping and pulling Sam out of the fire not once but twice in the pilot episode?

John may have handed lil Sammy to Dean the first time, but the 2nd time was all on his own. Dean didn’t have to come back (yes, I have seen the deleted scene, however take that out of context to what the viewer sees without access) and yet not only did he come back but he pulled his Sammy out of the line of fire (literally). Dean is hardcore head over heels for his little brother and haddddd the bad feeling which is why he came back to rescue lil brother and be the hero to him 🥺🩷

I failed in this experiment already. Let’s try again in the 2nd episode?

[incesthemes]

i am genuinely obsessed with how gordon stole the keys to the impala in bloodlust, because he simply had no logical support for that action. even eavesdropping on sam and dean's argument he could hear dean defending him, taking his side, and before that point too gordon's ideology was definitely winning over sam's. gordon taking the keys, then, displays a paranoia that really won't even fully actualize itself until croatoan.

because taking the keys means that gordon believes dean will side with sam. within the context of this episode that is exactly what happens, when gordon reveals he killed his sister and dean decides Fuck That, but on a larger scale it predicts how the rest of the season will go, too. at this point in the season dean is still caught between two ideologies, and he doesn't make his choice until croatoan, when his abstract duty vs sam conflict becomes real and he can no longer ponder it and must instead act. gordon knows who dean will side with before even dean knows himself—because dean spends the entire first half of the season desperately clinging to john (to his duty), trying to shove down his devotion to sam so that he can prepare himself to carry out his obligations and kill his brother.

and gordon alone knows what a futile effort it all is. he recognizes dean's devotion because he's an allegory for duty and so he understands too intimately all the ways dean is failing: duty or sam, gordon or sam, fate or sam. and gordon took the keys so that destiny can play out even when dean inevitably fails—so that they're too late to stop gordon, and so that they're too late to stop fate.

Throwing out there an idea for post-canon Dean jobs: physical therapist.

It's hands-on, but not necessarily straight forward. It uses problem solving skills too, plus creativity and pattern-recognition to connect different potential symptoms and treatments. Dean's great at this kind of stuff, and demonstrates it a lot when he hunts.

It requires people skills, and working with lots of different populations with different backgrounds. This is also a skill Dean is great at, but in this case it wouldnt be part of a lie for a case but a way to make genuine connections.

And, it's a way to make a noticeable difference in people's lives - and give people a way to move forward after injuries or accidents. He could help hunters too! It seems cathartic for Dean to be able to still feel like he's doing good for the world (and the hunting community) without having to go on hunts himself. It's not just surviving day-to-day anymore, but learning to live through things to see a future.

Well I’ll be damned. Looks like John Winchester’s last act was a good one. Who would’ve thought.

s02e01 -- "In My Time of Dying"

[plushri-moved]

I made fun of supernatural for refusing to end and degrading into barely watchable nonsense too much, I take it back, I would love it for a modern TV show to make it to 15 seasons
