god the offhanded mention of the violation dean knows hell to be from first hand-experience is really...big oof. once again society IF dean ever got to have proper hell trauma arc. it hurts so much knowing he dealt with all that pain and torment alone
this bit is also interesting seeing soulless sam just ready to hand the guy over to crowley with very little evidence, while dean is like, "no we gotta make sure," debunking the fanon misconceptions that dean is a trigger-happy indiscriminate killer who acts first and thinks later. dean here is the moral compass. and dean is often the one to say "wait hold up lets think abt this / make a plan" while sam is often the one acting impulsively.

supernatural s6e8 all dogs go to heaven (w. adam glass)
(is this the episode that spawned those sentient bestiality fics i've seen with dean as a dog? or is that a different one... dog day afternoon? cue being distracted for ten minutes while i reread the plot summary & real life story for the 1975 movie by that name)
CROWLEY
You like pain, Sam? You like Hell? You need to stop thinking of this as some kind of deal. This is a hostage situation, you arrogant little thug. I own your brother! Do you understand me?
CROWLEY
Come on, Dean, smile. It's not that bad. Here's incentive – you bag me a live alpha, and I'll give you little Sammy's soul back, with a cherry on top.
easy as pie! no moral conflicts ahead i'm sure
so hey here's the underpinning of irritation or hurt or something that i expected at the least, of sam's year of absence-while-here
SAM
He's right. Samuel and I ganked one about six months back on the half-moon. Things have been out of whack for a while now, I guess.
DEAN
Yeah, I guess.
dean semi-scowls and makes a you know what i mean face. sam proceeds to look slightly clueless
DETECTIVE
What are the Feds doing here?
SAM
Oh, we're specialists. They call us in to answer the questions of mouth-breathing dick monkeys.
excuse me what
DEAN
You didn't sleep. 'Cause you don't... sleep.
SAM
Right.
DEAN
Yeah. That's not creepy at all.
SAM
Not like I can help it. So, you gonna just lay there staring at me...
--
SAM
No love lost between the two of you, huh?
CAL
Look, we had our differences, I guess. You love your brother, of course, but... Ron had a lot of problems. He was, uh, volatile.
this show. LOOK HOW THESE RANDO CHARACTERS PARALLEL SAM AND DEAN'S CURRENT ISSUES *cut to dean's face journey for the parallel* heavy handed, as i have come to expect :P
sam not needing to sleep must be handy on their little stakeouts. if dean could trust him alone, that is 🥴
this will come as a shock i'm sure but there's some cute teen wolf fic with stiles picking up derek and taking him home when he's stuck in wolf form for one reason or another (one from my bookmarks). less murdery, of course
nice to see little mundane everyday moments, they don't do many outside of them eating together
getting teen wolf skinwalkers confused with the spn variety. thought they already had done them but i guess not? must be thinking tw. anyway, these skinwalkers are more like teen wolf variety werewolves. so i can be extra confused about it.
okay i know set decoration and all but like, dishes in the drying rack of the kitchenette of this little motel room? okay
SAM
Well, I got to tell you, Lucky, you got us stumped. I mean, why shack up with the family? Is it a kinky thing? Do you like to play with your food? Roll over, Lucky. Speak.
😒ok yes he's the bad guy but be an asshole in a different way, sam :p
DEAN
You say you're "just folks," yeah? That – that you like baseball and apple pie or whatever. But truth is, I don't know what you are 'cause you're not Sam.
SAM
Dean, come on.
DEAN
I mean, it's your gigantor body and – and maybe your brain, but it's not you. So just... stop pretending. Do us both a favor.
thank you
interesting music (score) choice and they don't usually do these kind of hero-looking-badass shots. ahh i guess it's like, going with the action movie vibes. what with dean apparently being a sniper too
SAM
I'd double-cross us. I mean, he's got to realize that's his best bet, if he wants to keep breathing.
DEAN
Nah, he'll go through with it.
SAM
You mean 'cause he loves that family?
DEAN
Yeah.
SAM
I'd double-cross us.
DEAN
Thanks, Dexter. That's reassuring.
SAM
Just making conversation.
made me laugh. but also like, see, this was the fun potential of soulless!sam when dean knows what's up. whhyyyy did we have to wait so long
✨ action bros ✨
(steadfastly ignoring the slightly fucky coloring on poor jackles, the biggest tell is his lips will look kind of purple when things are off)
SAM
You wanted the real me. This is it. I don't care about them. I don't even really care about you. Except that... I need your help. And you're clearly not gonna stick around for much longer unless I give it to you straight, so... I've done a lot worse than you know. I've killed innocent people in the line of duty. But I'm pretty sure it's not something the old me could've done. And maybe I should feel guilty. But I don't.
DEAN
Sam, get to the punch line.
SAM
I don't know if how I am is better or worse. It's different. You get the job done, and nothing really hurts. That's not the worst thing. But I've been thinking. And it was... it was kinda harder. But there are also things about it I remember that I... Let's just say I think I should probably go back to being him.
DEAN
That's very interesting. It's a step.
SAM
So?
DEAN
We do what we got to do. And we get my brother back.
jackles did a good job with this, sam telling him to his face he doesn't care. and that moment that sam says he remembers (unspecified good things/caring/loving his brother perhaps!!) and dean's got that look above. good emotion face moment
