sometimes supernatural homophobia is so absurd it becomes funny like they literally called dean gay for basically having a wife and a kid???? like is it gay to live in the suburbs with your girlfriend and her son????

HOT take but I am rotating a 27-year-old Mary in my mind, who isn't really fit for motherhood and doesn't stick around- but who blows through the bunker every once in a while with a group of rowdy young hunters and shitty gas station souvenirs, cleans her gun at the kitchen table, calls dean "baby", and leaves

dean's codependency towards sam codepended too close to the sun as even in the afterlife he kept the samulet because it brings him a sense of connection to his brother and then later risked being cast out of heaven by manipulating reality from up there because looking after sam is all he ever knew and his ideal scenario is his brother happily living his full life

Dean is such a paradox for me because on the one hand, I have been actively triggered by him in the show, there are moments where, intentionally or not, the writers managed to create a portrayal of manipulation and abuse and control issues that it sets off actual alarms for me. And on the other hand, I would not have him any other way. There is something — not comforting, that’s too soft a word — about knowing where Dean’s actions stem from, having seen and learned all that we do about his childhood neglect and parentification and the trauma he goes through repeatedly in the show, and that he doesn’t come out clean. He comes out a goddamn mess who ends up hurting the people around him in reaction to his own pain!
There’s a reality there that’s. Almost nice, actually. Distressing to watch, but it is a fucking mess, it’s a good mess! He’s got zero healthy coping skills and a healthy relationship with say, his brother, is terrifying because it leaves him open to abandonment!
I’m not sure I’m wording this correctly. There is a way to be a good abuse victim. Take the pain, martyr yourself on it, and then, even if you have no support or idea how to, then you have to become a Good Person who never hurts anyone the way you have been learning to your entire life. Simply toss everything that shaped you out the door and emerge a saint with a tragic backstory. And Dean is not that. And that’s so fucking good. Everything that he has gone through continues to effect the way he treats the people around him, and he can’t fight the behaviors he might recognize as harmful because he also sees them as protecting him (or protecting Sam by keeping Sam with him.)
And sometimes, idk. It feels good to see a guy who didn’t heal the “right way.” Who mostly didn’t heal at all, just keeps the wound open because it’s easier that way.

time is a circle i used to write fics where stiles (teenwolf) was the little brother to the winchesters (supernatural) and i just thought about steve being from a hunter family and that's why his parents are never around and he's kinda naturally good at fighting monsters but not humans. steve harrington long lost cousin to the winchesters... dean was born in 79 and steve was probably born around 67 IM SORRY STEVE HARRINGTON BABYSITTING DEAN AND SAM WINCHESTER steve has loser older brother vibes no matter what huh TIME IS A CIRCLE

I think when they lost me with sam is when he got so beaten down that he was as ready to die as dean has always been. it's supposed to be dean is always trying to die for other people and sams first instinct is to kill

S5 E3 Supernatural
AND WE'RE HALLUCINATING JESS!!!! Great start! NOT SIMPLE MAN PLAYING AHHHH (these shots though ❤ changing from Sam to Dean then back again so cool). Cas needs Deans help. Sam is solo, getting a bar job, not hunting. A girl has taken an interest in him. Cass on the other hand... Should stick by Dean untill he understands humanity. Linsey (Sam's bar girl) clocked that Sam was addicted to something and said he can be forgiven. Cass is starting to take some mannerisms from Dean, "today your my little bitch" 💀. Sadly Sam can't have anything good right now so hunters crashed his little pitty party. Now Dean is telling Cass to have faith? OH SHIT! Jess ain't Jess it's Lucifer and he wants to give Sam a gift (take is body as a vessel), theirs something to be said about Lucifer and Michael's vessels being Sam and Dean.

remembering just how adamant dean was that he wasn’t gonna leave purgatory without cas… he looked for him for a whole year, he prayed to him every night. he didn’t care if it cost his, benny’s and cas’ lives. he was gonna die trying. he loved him.
