crazy that sam’s otherness was so integral to the plot in the early seasons. sammy’s a freak. sammy’s a little off. There’s Something A Bit Different about sammy. nondescript guy w blueberry shot. but then in the later seasons, dean is so fundamentally Othered and they just straight up. don’t go into it. dean doesn’t have a female soulmate in heaven bc reasons. dean wants to experience people & feelings Differently than he has before but we won’t go into it. dean’s own subconscious asks him ‘how come you only want what you can’t have?’: dean as a character is aware of his own otherness, but the narrative itself bends to ignore it. dean has to die on the rusty nail bc sam is the normal one now and dean wouldn’t fit the mold of 1 wife and 2.5 kids: that’s intrinsically not who he is anymore. dean winchester constantly toes the line of this spoken/unspoken Difference and the story ties itself into knots with this dichotomy of introducing and acknowledging it, but simultaneously avoiding its resolution. (the resolution being of course, that dean is queer and loves cas back). just. so interesting that we have this direct comparison of sam (otherness by design) vs dean (otherness by mistake). spn truly did the Most to avoid following the natural path of the narrative huh

"One of the best TV shows ever made" indeed. Some might even argue it's THE best. I, personally, would say as such

WHY DON’T YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS LUNATONE

tangentially related but the show really makes it clear that flint is a naval strategist. pirates usually preferred firing at speaking range and any manouvres that were quick and easy while this gay clown wakes up on his miserable little cot every morning and puts on the red nose already concocting the most convoluted battle strategy possible. I bet silver took one look at the walrus' guns being unloaded cleaned and shut with a lead apron and went 'that cunt must be ex navy no one here would care this much about powder safety.'

A very love-sick Dean Winchester. Another one of my DCBB arts for this story.

A story is true, a story is untrue. As time extends, it matters less and less. The stories we want to believe, those are the ones that survive, despite upheaval and transition and progress. Those are the stories that shape history.

When Captain Flint first arrived on this island, he gained influence faster than any man I’d seen before or since. I heard men say it was because of the violence. I heard them say it was his charm. But it was clear to me the reason why he was so good at bending men towards his will was he knew the power of a story and how to harness it to his own ends. That man there, I would argue, may very well be his equal.
