I've had this

in my notes since I saw that scene in the Kenobi show, so it might as well be time to draw it

[shallowseeker]

It was a post that mostly screenshots but it had some good parallels. I think it was a lot of Henry, John, Cas, and Jack. Do you remember if it was you?

I looked for these for the past few days! Was it these? This was a freeform, and very VERY messy. I've tried to make it into a list to make it... at least jumpable.

A father’s duty; work and family and protection and–

Post 1 - "Fathers should protect" Images of young John, Kelly, Cas, Jack, child John, Henry, Dean It’s too big. It’s too big for everyone. These expectations. Work, provide stability, provide food/water/shelter, protect, preparation, take on the world, uphold the world. Post 2 - "Henry & Cas" Only two images, both Cas and Henry lamenting "IF I COULD GO BACK" Post 3 (scroll) - "Broken home" Starts with the image of the cars at the broken house Cas & the dilapidated family home - And we have it again, the dilapidated family house, with Dean’s car and the ghostly truck-of-the-father, followed by some scenes of Cas in his truck. Post 4 - "@ironworked comments" Starts with images of Castiel and Anael discussing how God isn't with them " They don’t have time to process anything. There’s just no time. Cas makes the right decision, just too late... He decides to go home! He concludes that even without God, we have each other." Post 5 (scroll) - "WORK; more commentary" Starts with images of Dean and Cas in the bunker, Cas in "work clothes" and Dean clad in his sleeping robe "...then they’re tragically caught in that same fight of trying to be everything, to shoulder these intense, heavy weights of life. ...And Dean’s face transforms from something soft to dazed-and-alarmed. It’s kind of heartbreaking how even when they’re being honest with each other and looking for other ways, it’s still too much." Post 6 (scroll) - "Sam + communication, Cas in the wind" Starts with images of Sam talking to Cas, talking to John Sam expresses his frustration on the phone with Cas being gone again. It hearkens to other Sam phone calls - John, Cas previously. Plus: Dean's spinning out, and the "Jack is not family" of it all. Post 7 (scroll) - "War-son" Starts with a long text-quote of Dean talking to John's grave The tragedy of Jack, the war-son. And the legacy of heroism in The Winchester family line of heirs. (Aside/// Sam is a spare. Dean and Jack are heirs. etc etc. ) Plus: Hopelessness. Emptiness. They all feel it. Post 8 (scroll) - "Amara: Starts with Images of Amara When we look at the bomb detonated, we think about the previous detonation, intractably tied up with darkness. AMARA. Post 9 - (scroll) - "TFW reunited... too late?" Starts with Images of Dean freaking out After Jack whispers, “Don’t let me hurt you,” we’re thrown back into a united TFW, rallying themselves and not giving into their specific flavors of Despair. Dean breaks his chains and takes on death.

I made the links because I feel like there were a couple of other anons that focused on these topics, and from what I gather, it's related to the weekend discourse that I, amazingly... totally missed out on.

Fair warning again: This is hard to sift through because I'm chaotic. But there's some stuff in there you might like if you dig.

Hopefully, this is the post that you meant!

LIKE THE POTENTIAL PARALLELS BETWEEN ALFONSE AND TRIANDRA DRIVE ME INSANE. Alfonse, Not Even Fucking AWARE of The Situation, but knowing what kind of guy he is, he ABSOLUTELY is thinking behind that strong face "I Should Have Stopped It". Meanwhile. Triandra Did. She did very much Stop It (her father's abuse, which was MUCH more noticeable/readable as abuse than whatever Gustav had going on. By Killing Her Father. Which Alfonse ALSO had to do. Under different circumstances BUT STILL.)

🤝

It was six weeks for me but mood.

we both have heart issues too. we have the life experience overlaps to allow us to form a warriors bond, the main perk of the warriors bond is telling each other to go to bed or drink water though so it's kinda nerfed

[abrill]

Since she left, sometimes everything , everyone feels like clouds. No matter how hard I'd try to catch and hold them, they are never gonna be in my grip. So, why shall I try, what's the point?

If I can't hold you with my heart,

If you are gonna be a cloud that would fly away...

Who's gonna be my sky, when I am the earth?

[rideordie-mp3]

i do not like my mother and she does not like me 🫶🏻

You'll fix it right, Cas? Please.

Dean is frantic when Jack is dying.

///

And then, he's looking at Cas, wanting him to make it all better. Here in 14x07 Unhuman Nature, we see the first sign of loss -of-a-child stress on the Dean/Cas marital dyad. We see Dean appeal to Cas, too, in 14x09 The Spear, when Sam and Jack are accosted by AU Michael. (All scripts here.)

"Many times each individual falsely expects their spouse to make the pain go away and when they cannot..."

"(Dean) looks up, pleadingly, at Cas--"
