sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and put "text your friend whom you love and genuinely want to talk to" on your to-do list because otherwise it is not getting done

I’m now about 10 episodes from finishing the whole show I have so many thoughts I can’t put it into words coherently but I get it guys, I get it

For context I am rewatching/watching Supernatural beyond where I quit the last time I tried watching it (in high school bc I wanted to fit in on tumblr). I finished The Boys and Kripke openly pays homage to Supernatural so I thought it was time I finish what I started (I’m still just 2 seasons after Kripke’s departure so idk when it’ll really start going off the rails).

I Have So Many Thoughts about it after watching it a decade later and with a less liquified brain. I have been dumping them all on my friend (hi kawaii king) so I will try to articulate it on my cloutless tumblr account, from whence it all began

(Side note It’s been playing almost nonstop since I started and sometimes it’s just ambient noise, so I will never grasp the experience of following this story for a decade and a half. Like I’m on season 7 and it’s like cool we’re pretty much halfway, but that was SEVEN whole ass YEARS and we’re still just getting started)

Anyways it’s absurd if the showrunners didn’t want people to read Dean and Castiel’s relationship as queer like Castiel literally rebelled from heaven for Dean and Dean literally only has 3 very intense (male) relationships in the show and one is his brother and the other is his (adoptive) father. What do you expect people to think if they keep staring deeply into each others eyes man

I didn’t end up putting my thoughts onto tumblr and just dumped them stream of conscious into text messages but I stopped at season 9 I couldn’t go any further

After s5 it had been mostly relegated to background noise but whenever I tune back in it’s just getting increasingly depressing watching the quality of the show rapidly deteriorate while the budget keeps increasing and the HD cameras really capture these poor actors aging into their late 30s still doing this shit (they make up for this by spray tanning the shit out of them like these men are Oompa Loompa orange atp). And like, poor Sam and Dean (and everyone in their periphery) they can never catch a break and keep going in circles and they keep unraveling all the character traits that made me care for them in the first place :( look how they massacred my boys

Like somewhere in the first 5 seasons idr exactly but Sam and Dean get themselves into jail to catch a ghost killing prisoners and even though they realized that they didn’t actually successfully get rid of the ghost, Sam was ready to go forward with their escape and tells Dean that these are criminals does it really even matter if they didn’t catch the ghost but Dean tells him that just because they’re in jail it doesn’t mean they deserve to die, and that moment really stuck with me and what it told us about his character. But then couple seasons later when they’re trying to get Sam’s soul back (against his will????) Dean has to be Death for the day and he just waits to let a guy who was shot and killed while robbing a convenience store die just so he can keep suffering as punishment for robbing a store (aside: that whole episode made me so mad, one of which is like are you telling me that Death really only goes through like 3 people a day within the same 5 mile radius?????)

As soon as they elevated Sam and Dean to be some sort of Special Generational Heirs the show started going downhill, like what made the show great was that it was a procedural with a paranormal flair grounded by the relationship between these two brothers set in the backdrop of small town america (which yes I know blah blah America let’s speed run through the discourse, but the show was a love letter to small town America and how even in these remote, seemingly unremarkable places, there’s still so much history and people who care about each other). Sam and Dean were special, but not capital S Special and that’s why they were compelling characters. They were just two brothers working through their trauma, especially at the hands of their abusive father, trying their best to kill things that go bump in the night since that’s the only thing that they are sure of and how they can cope with the damage and pain that has followed them their whole life. The moment you add some sort of ordained higher power to the mix, these characters are stripped of their agency and their motivations become unclear. (Also personally not a fan of cementing judeo-Christian canon as the Official Truth Of The Universe, I cannot emphasize how much I hate the episode in s5 with the “””pagan gods””” in the weird hotel who want to drink blood or whatever (mind you, at least 2 were from Hinduism a major world religion that is very much alive and active) S4 rocks since the arc was Dean coming to terms with the abuse at the hands of his father and that he didn’t deserve any of it and that he does deserve to live, he has value outside of just being a caretaker for Sam. He’d do anything for his brother but at the same time he realizes his brother is his own person with his own sense of agency, and he owes it to his brother to let him make his own choices. But now as time goes on Dean just seems to increasingly resent Sam but still refuses to let go of their codependency (this is around the time where I shift from favoring Dean to favoring Sam because man in the first few seasons Dean just loves his brother and Bobby so fucking much 🥹 and then later they traumatize this poor man so much and he becomes Insufferable)

Hot take, I really don’t care for Cas. The queerness of his and Dean’s relationship is (un)intentionally palpable, but so much of their intense dialogue hinges on how “Cas is family” and how important Cas is to them, but most of the time they have no clue where Cas is and what his motivations are (which the intensity of their relationship in contrast with what they actually do together just makes the whole thing seem more gay, like I didn’t read Dean and Benny’s relationship as queer and instead just as an example of a genuine male friendship because their bond was way more earned. Dean and Cas are just constantly pining for each other)

The final straw that made me put the show down was in s9 where I’m presuming that the showrunners were trying to squash the gay allegations and human!Cas is homeless and standing in the rain and some lady randomly brings him to her home and has sex with him (which is already ???????) and afterwards Cas is all like 👉🏾👈🏾🥺 was that good and how he’d like to keep doing that (the lady says yes which you know damn well it was not good), which I’m so sorry maybe I was just high but it felt nauseating to watch. The lady turned out to be a demon or whatever so it’s like. well that was just sexual assault of both Cas and the human vessel, neither of whom consented to the sex. Also idk if Misha Collins did this on purpose but every time they try to pair Cas up with a woman (like with Meg???????) it sounds so unconvincing and forced and he very much doesn’t seem very enthused to be involved. I think they’re frantically trying to un-gay Cas but like. Just let an angel be gay and autistic damn

Now I understand why this show had such a cult fandom that made this show very much their own because there’s so much potential here and the characters are multi-dimensional with complex relationships with each other but I don’t think the showrunners realized that

Anyways I’m almost 20 years late to this so this has probably all been Discoursed to death already

The children's show villain is a figure who sadly is not seen outside the children's show. There are few stock characters who as succinctly declare, from sheer stage presence, "the world is unloveable and it is painful to live here; that which delights mankind is like ash on my tongue" without being too fucking whiny about it.
