sacred and profane love (1603) by giovanni baglioni // supernatural 8.17 “goodbye stranger”

giovanni baglioni painted sacred and profane love in response to caravaggio’s 1602 painting, amor vincit omnia (“love conquers all”). amor vincit omnia depicts a young cupid and is considered to be a representation of homoeroticism. even in his own time, caravaggio was well known for having affairs with the boys he painted. 

as a rival artist, baglioni aimed to insult caravaggio by painting a warrior angel (sacred love) smiting the same homoerotic cupid seen in amor vincit omnia (profane love). sacred and profane love is an admonishment against caravaggio’s homosexuality and serves as an analogy for christian morality defeating queer love.

thinking about castiel saying he misses dean while in his robe laying dramatically in bed with the sheets draped over himself in a delicately whorish manner so one bare knee shows.

Dean gets into horror games after they stop hunting (he likes the adrenaline) so they skip the Halloween party and play Phasmophobia all night. Except Dean is just dying over and over in the game while his laptop overheats and Cas scours the Wikipedia for the Lore (this is a date.)

(please notice their matching wedding date tattoos, and the angel on Dean's shoulder matches the one on Cas's shoulder but it doesn't show under his Henley.)

at some point in the late seasons dean and cas should have started wearing wedding rings. it’s never mentioned or acknowledged in any way whatsoever. the only answer they give when asked about it at cons is some variation of “it’s just jewelry, you guys are reading into it too much”. one single time during the divorce arc we get a shot of dean staring at his left hand and twisting the ring around on his finger.
