adam saying that maybe michael doesn’t know god like he thought he did and getting nothing in return but michael pointing a finger at him and turning away is like. irrefutable proof that adam can literally just say whatever he wants and michael WILL let him get away with it. like lucifer? michael’s actual brother? michael slammed him in the cage for speaking out against god. it didn’t matter that he’d known lucifer from the moment lucifer was created. it didn’t even matter that michael was the one who raised him. but adam? all he gets is a bit of frustration. a singular moment where michael raises his voice at him and then nothing. and then they’re freed from the handcuffs and michael looks over adam’s wrists to make sure they’re okay and lets adam back out to talk to dean. and they’ve only known each other for years, not an eternity! not even a blip in michael’s lifespan and yet! yet!!!!

There’s one scene in season 3 that always gets me - not because of the scene itself but because of the implications. Earlier in the episode we get this scene:
[“Or rather, Tendo’s sort of scary. You never know what he’s thinking.”]
And we know that Tendou took the message to heart. Years later, he talks to Ushijima (about Hinata) and mentions that “things you can’t understand are scary”.
Ushijima’s defensive reaction seems comical at first but when Tendou expands on it, we get this exchange:
[“They’re not scary.” - “No, I mean, they’re sort of creepy. If anything, the feeling of something being slightly creepy must be a new feeling for you, huh?”]
The implications!! They kill me every time!
Ushijima was never put off by Tendou, he never thought of him as ‘scary’ or ‘slightly creepy’. It’s not surprising that Tendou considered him his best friend. Ushijima had accepted him for who he was from the very beginning. Now every time I think about Tendou in Washijou’s office talking about how he just wants to play the volleyball that makes him happy I keep thinking about how he got so much more than he hoped for. He had resigned himself to, at most, get to play the sport he liked - instead he got to do that and got to meet people who didn’t judge him. Friends for a lifetime.
