what's crazy to me is that supernatural is a whole ass incest show they have father and daughter kissing they have the son calling his mother a babe they have brothers named after their (married) grandparents they have said brothers being soulmates they have big brother and little brother drowning in homoerotic subtext and the list goes on and yet SOMEHOW people still act surprised when they find out sam and dean are shipped 😭😭 like????
even the show instead of going "wtf fans are shipping the brothers lets ignore this and not talk about it until it goes away" they went "oh the fans are shipping the brothers lets have sam and dean being confused with a couple again and again and lets have a character writing wincest fiction and reading it out loud in an episode and also lets have two characters cosplaying sam and dean that are actually dating"
yeah i recognised you by your footsteps because of the weird gay shit i feel for you but also because they're loud as fuck like man you sound like a hog hunting for truffles through the undergrowth
ok but why did no one tell me that dean proposes he and sam dress up as the iconic lesbian crime duo for halloween next year and then jokes that they recreate their iconic lesbian suicide, which takes sam by such surprise that he has to pause and actually think about it before slowly and perhaps reluctantly shaking his head no
metamorphosis. yes there's a man transforming into a literal monster and yes it's about sam's descent into demon blood freak monsterhood but to me, above all, it's the episode in which dean's controlling codependency takes a monstrous turn.
he's petty and he's jealous and he's violent and he hits sam for lying and he hits sam again for talking back and he's trashing the motel room and he's the image of an abuser. dean is threatening to leave sam and to hunt sam and they both know he's not going to do either (i can't escape you, you can't escape me). there's dark fury and despair and panic in dean's eyes because sam (in tears, bleeding, taking it) is becoming more than he can control.
sam says "this blood, it's not in you the way it's in me" and dean can't fucking stand it. he immediately tries to write himself into this, sam's not doing this alone. that's his brother, his blood, how dare he go there. their blood not being the same is the gravest, most personal insult to dean.
sam says "i'm not doing it for you" and "this is my choice" and dean cannot STAND IT. sam still craves autonomy and dean STILL. CAN'T. STAND. IT.
