Sing a new song, Chiquitita. I have loved Sam and Dean Winceseter since 2007 and if anything, the obsession has just gotten stronger. Would welcome conversations, analysis or just general squee about the Winchester brothers. I love them both equally and totally recognize that your mileage may vary. I am also old and likely don't really know what I'm doing with tumblr. So if I do something stupid, please realize it's becasue I come from the Atari generation and I genuinely don't mean any harm.
i am the same with sacrifice. i can recite that final scene line by line. there are a bunch of other episodes like that, too.
just the other day it dawned on me how much this show owns every aspect of me. i can't let it go. these two boys live in my head every day. i've had other shows in the past that i've been insane about, but nothing, NOTHING compares to supernatural. for real.
it's such a special unicorn. heh
turns out supernatural was THAT serious for me. like changed my brain in ways i am still discovering. stupid show about stupid brothers. and if you play season 8 episode 23 sacrifice in front of me i will quote every line of the ending scene and i will probably shed a tear.
Posting this whole scene from "Baby" because I have not stopped thinking about it for weeks, like... This episode is wonderful for so many reasons, but one of them is that it's a great return to the insular "brothers alone in a car" vibe of the early seasons, that sense of them having no boundaries whatsoever in this life where they are constantly smashed up against each other. First, we have Dean catching Sam having sex and lingering until Sam has to ASK HIM TO LEAVE. But when Dean exits the car, he walks around it, craning his neck to see from different angles. Normal brother behavior.
I love them singing "Night Moves" together, joking around with each other on the road in a way the show hadn't incorporated in such a long time, and Dean just keeps... giving Sam those cheeky little grins. Like he's so proud of Sam for having sex, feeling like the cat who got the cream because he got to walk in on the aftermath.
And then they're driving all day, and Dean is still! Fixated! On it!
"Even put a blanket down. Buddy, classy and thoughtful as always." Why is Dean looking at the backseat so fondly, like he loves knowing Sam's naked body was there? Dean just keeps smiling wickedly throughout this whole conversation, like he needs to hear as many details as possible so he can think about it later, hold the image in his head, treasure it.
And let's not forget Sam trying to steer the conversation to something deeper, trying to gauge Dean's level of satisfaction with the brief hookups of road life.
"Really? You don't... ever want something more? You don't ever think about something? Not marriage or whatever. But... something? You know, with a hunter? Somebody who understands the life?"
Sammy, he already has that with you. He's good.
There's just a persistent, palpable vibe of boundless intimacy in this scene, like we're spying on quiet, private moments we're not supposed to see. The whole episode is rife with those moments, like the late night conversation they have about their dreams before falling asleep in the Impala. Ugh... "Baby" is such a perfect, classic episode.
DEAN: I-I-I don't need you coming up with some way to stop me. I-I-I don't need to get shaky on this thing.
Sam, you tried. And I love you for trying.
Sam, you're the last person I could tell. The last person I could be around because you're the only one that could've talked me out of it. And I won't.
Okay, Sam. Let's go home. Let's go home. Maybe Billie's wrong. Maybe. But I do believe in us.
I can't keep waking up every morning with this false hope. I'm done trying to find a cure, Sammy. I'm willing to live with this thing forever.
—Dean, listen to me - whatever you're doing, whatever you've done, please...
I let Rudy die. How was that not evil? I know what I am, Sam.
—You summoned me because you knew I would do anything to protect you.
DEATH: It's for family [the world] that you must [kill Sam].
SAM: This is where you tell me you're gonna pull the trigger?
DEAN: Yeah, it is. We don't have a choice, Sam.
SAM: Now you - you want my permission? (Stammers) You want me to say I'm cool with losing him and losing you all at once? 'Cause I can't do that. I won't say that, 'cause I... (getting emotional) No. I've already lost too much.
Dean? Dean! (Sam is still running, yelling for Dean.) Dean, don't! Dean? Dean! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Dean! Hey, hey, hey! Dean!
DEAN: Look, man, I get it. I get it. We have lost way, way too much. And it's hard not to feel like just... cashing out. I felt like that. After Chuck, back at the crypt. But you know what brought me back? You did.
SAM: I know, I know, I'm sorry. I know. But... but what I'm saying is that I don't feel free. and... and sometimes it's... it's like I-I-I can't even breathe. But maybe tomorrow. You know, maybe I'll... I'll feel better in the morning.
DEAN: And what if you don't?
SAM: I don't know.
DEAN: what I found out about Chuck... it's like-it's like I wasn't alive. Not really. You know, like, my whole life I've never been free. But now... now me and Sam, we got a shot at living a life. Without all this crap on our backs.
DEAN: Chuck has to die. He has to! Otherwise he'll keep us tap dancing forever, and I can't live like that, man! I can't live like that! I won't!
SAM: Just put it away, and we'll figure it out, Dean, we'll find another way, you and me. We always do.
[Dean uncocks the gun and puts it away.]
I mean, the world is ending...... the walls are coming down on us...... I look over to you and all I can think about is: I just didn't wanna let you down.
Oh I am so so so so so late with this, but when that sweet sweet baby @runawaydr3amerao3 tagged me, I knew I had to post and I’ve been thinking about it since. Stupid real life is stupid. That’s my only excuse.
And might I say, all the other above sneak peaks just make me SALIVATE for the fics. WIPs MUST see the light of day and by that I mean posted on AO3. Heh.
Here’s my addition and I cheated a LOT because this is way more than two sentences, but I couldn’t CHOOSE. I have so many WIPs in so many folders and this one is from a masquerade prompt from a WHILE ago asking for post-Red Meat hurt comfort:
When Sam gets his breathing under control, he chokes out, “He h-held…my nose shut.”
And fuck.
Fuck.
Fury — powerful, cold and utterly impotent — fires through Dean’s muscles and he instantly thinks I should have skinned that mother fucker alive.
He hopes he somehow manages to not telegraph the savagery of his reaction through the hold he has on Sam, but he can’t be sure. He keeps Sam’s head against his neck and the room takes on an odd red tinge.
Goddamn it, but Dean almost wants to resurrect that bastard just to be able to take his time in sending him purgatory again.
The son of a bitch.
Never should have been allowed to lay a single fucking finger on Sammy.
Write two sentences from one of your WIPs, I dare you
@incestthemes @herestoevilskanks @supergaysupernatural
(or anyone else who wants to jump in or get added to the tag list)
In the spirit of fairness, here you go, two sentences from one of my WIPs I haven't touched in a bit:
"I know I'm getting off on this, but I've got a pair black eyes, you though," Dean bites his ear hard enough it might honestly be cut. Sam doesn't care, can't care with all the sensations warring inside him. "You're just naturally this twisted Sammy."
Probably unpopular opinion but I don't understand how people actually choose between these two. I can't. They're a package deal. A set. Conjoined twins. You gotta love both or neither. If you break them down into single their intertwined essence or vibe is lost.
Two questions about First Blood (one of my favorites):
One. How bad must Sam and Dean have smelled after more than a month in those cells when they came out of the woods and hugged Mary and Cas? 😁
And two. Do you think Sammy dug a little extra hard into his palm with that screw to make absolutely sure Billie wasn’t another hallucination? Can you even imagine what he went through in that cell all alone for that long? I know it was Dean who talked about how bad it was to Mary but Sam was suspiciously quiet and haunted-looking. God. That poor boy. Especially because it was just after he had gone face to face with Lucifer again. Sure he was in the president but it was Lucifer. And then Sam’s in that cell all alone. Guh.
