You really just can't unsee it once you see it though, can you?

Sam starts blaming Dean for what he's going to do (work with Ruby) way back in 3.09 because Dean isn't going to be around to be Sam's mommy, which is going to force Sam's hand.

After Dean comes back, Sam actually blames Dean for him working with Ruby by saying Dean wasn't there to protect him (4.04).

Dean repeatedly begs Sam not to work with Ruby and is ignored repeatedly (3.03, 3.04, 3.09, 3.16, 4.01-4.04, 4.12-4.22).

After telling Dean to open up to him and trust him (4.08), Sam calls Dean weak and pathetic for being traumatized by hell and says Dean is holding him back and therefore deserves to be lied to because he can't be of use (4.14) Sam says it's not what he really thinks when they both know it is (and Sam repeats it to other characters in 4.16, and 4.18) and then he admits it's the truth again to Dean's face in 4.21.

Sam accuses Dean of not trusting him enough (4.21).

Bobby blows up at Dean for not supporting Sam enough and calls him a pansy after Sam strangled Dean near unconscious, and tells him family is supposed to make you miserable (4.22).

Dean tries to reach out to Sam and Zachariah and Cas actively prevent him from doing so (Cas only at first) (4.22)

Zachariah (5.01) and Cas (5.02) both tell Dean the apocalypse is his fault because Dean didn't reach Sam in time to stop him from killing Lilith.

Dean says Sam hurt him, Sam is the one Dean depended on the most and Sam hurt him in ways he can't even voice (5.01). Sam apologizes, but then in the very next episode, shoves Dean into a wall for not trusting him like Dean is crazy and irrational when Sam doesn't even trust himself (5.02).

Sam says he thinks they should go their separate ways and is shocked when Dean agrees easily. Dean says that he spends more time worrying about Sam than he does doing the job right and time apart would be good. Sam reiterates that he's sorry and Dean gently says he knows Sam is (5.02).

Cas asks Dean if he's okay even without his brother, and Dean says "Especially without my brother. I mean, I spent so much time worrying about the son of a bitch. I mean, I’ve had more fun with you in the past twenty-four hours than I’ve had with Sam in years, and you’re not that much fun. It’s funny, you know, I’ve been so chained to my family, but now that I’m alone, hell, I’m happy." (5.03)

Sam says he wants back in. Dean objects, on the basis that he thinks they're stronger apart. Dean says they're each other's weaknesses and it's being used against them (5.04, but the weakness line is repeated from 3.03 and 3.16).

Zachariah pushes Dean into a future 2014 where Dean never met up with Sam again, and as a result, Sam said "Yes" to Lucifer, and billions of people died. All because Dean didn't want to be around Sam after being hurt and never reconnected with him (5.04).

Dean reconnects with Sam (5.04) even though he clearly doesn't want to, because the first case we see them on again, Dean struggles to trust Sam and leaves to go drink alone because he doesn't want to be around Sam (5.05).

Sam says part of the reason he went off with Ruby was to get away from Dean, because Dean is smothering. Dean is the problem in the relationship, because Sam feels inferior compared to him. Dean apologizes for being too smothering (5.05).

What does all of this tell you? Dean can't win. Dean will always be the bad guy in the family. He loves too much, or he isn't loving enough. Sam needs him and Dean wasn't there for him and so Sam went down the wrong path, but also Dean is smothering and Dean being smothering is the reason Sam went down the wrong path. Sam is not a trustworthy person, but Dean doesn't trust him enough. Sam not being trustworthy is Dean's fault. Dean doesn't deserve trust, but Sam deserves Dean's trust no matter what and not giving Sam his trust is the worst possible thing in the entire world and also again makes him smothering. The apocalypse is Dean's fault. Every single thing Sam does every single mistake he might ever make in his life is always at least partly Dean's fault and Dean's responsibility.

samgirls really do just ignore how sam lied to dean (this is a fantastic character choice to be clear) about not being willing to do the same thing to save his life and then admitted several episodes later that he lied and would go to those lengths for him and Then Did All That In Season 10.

i love sam btw

So your brother saves you in a way that kinda fucks you up. And it's not all black and white, because on the one hand he did something that fucked you up, but on the other hand you did promise to not go through with your suicide and also he didn't actually intend for you to be fucked up. And yeah good intentions sometimes don't mean shit, but this is a hiccup compared to some of the other shit you've pulled on him and vice versa.

But you're mentally ill about the situation and also grieving and feeling guilty as hell about the guy who you abandoned last year who also just died technically by your hand, so you take it out on your brother because he's an easy target and his entire MO is shouldering the blame for shit that he didn't do.

And all seems fine and well- or as fine and well as it's gonna get with him pretending like you didn't hurt his feelings big time and you dealing with the nightmares- but then he starts acting. Weird. Definitely weirder than usual.

But it's your big brother, right, and he's always fine, even when you know he isn't. Dean is Dean and because he's Dean it's going to be okay, so you continue stonewalling him and pretending like he's a total fuck up who you're never going to forgive (even though you already have). You even go as far as to tell him that you'd let him die if the situations were reversed.

THE SITUATION GETS REVERSED?? he dies for the billionth time in front of you and then wakes up A Demon (you were going to do a demon deal to bring him back btw, exactly the move you told him you wouldn't do) and he then ditches your ass to play Bonnie and Clyde with another demon and you're left with the grief and trauma and insane guilt that has exactly zero place to go, so you start bending those silly little morals to find him, but it's just to find him and then you'll be normal, promise.

It works too, because now he's back, and you're putting the itty bitty problem that he's walking around with a ticking time bomb in his arm on the backburner because you're so relieved. But you aren't talking about the circumstances that put either of you here- not the messy fight you had, or the awful things you said to him, or any of the shit you dragged him through before all this happened.

No, instead of doing any of that, you're throwing all of your energy into going behind his back, recruiting people and demons and witches who you definitely should not be talking to into saving him, and fucking around and finding out with a human skin book. And whoops you just got his best friend killed. BUT WHATEVER.

You get the witch to do the spell anyway and doom the entire world instead of respecting *checks notes* Dean's bodily autonomy and locking him away like he's been asking every minute for the past couple of months. Because you're willing to do the sacrificing as long as you're not the person being hurt.

And don't worry, even though you unleashed the Darkness on the earth, you'll put the blame on both you and Dean, because again he can shoulder it. And this won't have any long lasting consequences resulting in Dean having to put an actual bomb inside his soul and walk alone to his death in a couple of months.

The thing is that when Cas first laid a hand on Dean in hell he was lost, and not actually because "For the first time, I feel". Cas had felt before he knew Dean. We know this because we know Cas had rebelled before. Naomi tells us Cas never did as he was told—that Cas had a "Crack in the chassis straight off the line" (something Chuck later echoes in a rage).

Cas's rebellion is far older than Dean and that rebellion is a function of what he feels. Cas just doesn't get to remember feeling. Each time he does, he's stripped of the memory of it... but subconsciously he starts to understand it as something he must keep secret.

Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul?

Cas is in love with humanity, and we conflate this with Dean because Dean is the narrative heart, and the subject of Cas's greatest love, and because the concept of humanity and Dean are so deeply linked they're almost one in the same. We are not at all wrong to conflate the two, but make no mistake—Cas is in love humanity.

You misunderstand me, Dean, I’m not like you think. I was praying that you would choose to save the town.

Cas calls humanity a work of art, and the camera pans to Dean sitting on the bench beside him. Dean represents humanity. Not just as precious works of art, but also because humans get to feel. Humans don't get lobotomized for feeling. Dean encourages Cas to feel. He encourages Cas to feel by asking him to—begging him to, and by feeling for others, and by existing and deserving to be loved himself.

Dean echoes free will to Cas like a call from the wild. He's the beauty of humanity. He's the liberation and beautiful terror of choice. The reason "You always have a choice" and "There is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it" works is because Cas already feels, already hopes, already loves.

You were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna warn me about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible camp. Help me -- now. Please.

The function by which Dean gets through to Cas is through Cas's own feelings and convictions. He gets through because Cas is "not a hammer, as you say". Cas has questions. Cas has doubts.

Cas is in love with humanity, and every time he remembers it, he gets packed off to Bible Camp and he forgets. But he can remember again. What it takes is a push. What it takes is a hand reached out in the darkness. The day Cas rescued Dean from hell, two people were saved. A hand clawed out toward Cas too, breaking through his own torturous prison and offering him escape. For the first time in a long time, he felt.

Dean's importance is that he touches Cas. He makes Cas remember. And he keeps making Cas remember. Through touch, through words, through the expression of his own affection for Cas and for others. Because Dean cares, Cas cares.

call me lucky ‘cause in the end

im a six and she’s a ten

wait arin and morro are parallels. both were given unrealistic expectations by their teachers that ultimately led to them feeling like failures, and so they became bitter towards their teachers and felt the need to prove themselves, ultimately ending in a betrayal and manipulation by a powerful being from another realm... ninjago dragons rising writers what did they put in your water to make you cook...

[calypsolemon]

its kinda annoying how much everyone gets upset over zane's writing in dr. it's obvious that the dr writers have long-term plans for every character, and out of all of them Zane is one of the ones whose gotten focus really frequently during original ninjago run. it's like idk can we wait and watch to see if maybe they're going somewhere with his weird robot comments before we write it off as doing his character a disservice?

Now that Tales of the Underworld has been released and my thirst for Ventress content has been partially satiated, let me finally share the remnants of The Bad Batch cosplay I started in March 2024 (but had to stop due to moving, illness, and other gross adult issues). Please excuse the raw edges, random threads, etc - she's been living in a closet for 13 months. But with all the new content, I can almost feel the motivation to continue

I was particularly obsessed with this pattern on her tunic that was only visible in certain lighting, and I'm so glad that was also the case in Tales of the Underworld. I created a stencil and stenciled the shit out of this with metallic fabric paint mixture and am still very happy with how that turned out. Definitely would have made the stencil larger, but I did what I could with our singular Bad Batch episode at the time.

I love the subtle changes in the costumes between The Bad Batch and Tales of the Underworld - part of me wants to just start from scratch if I ever wanted to actually finish her. In any case, I'm just glad my girl got some more content at last! Now reunite her with Quinlan, you cowards

itd be a huge shame if he burnt out on SAYER considering its one of the longer running good podcasts but i could totally see it. either way i hope we get some conclusion even if its a 2 paragraph "they lived happily ever after"

I honestly think one of the best endings for everyone involved (assuming the burn out theory is right) would just be the story outline + final script wips getting posted. I'm in the same boat as you though. I'd like *an* ending eventually, even if its not perfect.

Dad knew who you really were. A good soldier and nothing else. Daddy's blunt little instrument. Your own father didn't care whether you lived or died. Why should you?!

[futurewife]

what are they doingggg to luka in season 9 this is CHARACTER ASSASSINATION i need industrial cement and steel girders to fix this ... they don't know him like I know him ALSO he wouldn't have to do this if I snatched him up three seasons ago so all this is like the bad universe to me in some ways

If I follow you, I truly love you, but…you’re blissfully delusional if you think Buck is older than Eddie. Every television show in history has continuity errors, usually with props (if I hear about the Headstone or ID Bracelet one more time…)—even How I Met Your Mother, one of the most diligently-true-to-timelines series I’ve ever seen. It is absolutely canon that Eddie is the older one, from episode 2x1 thanks to our man, Chimney.

If it makes you happy to write and headcannon Buck as older, power to you—I don’t understand it but I don’t need to. I recognize it’s not that serious. But it’s also not true, so I’d advise not setting yourself up for disappointment

Fun fact (will probably help you get it): my blog theme changes based off of seasons of a show that shows up on my blog quite a bit
