Ohhhh, Cas and Dean talking to Jack in 14x15 under the guise of talking to/about the snake is sooooooooo 🥺

Jack is defensive about opening up about his emotions, so the snake becomes neutral ground -> code for Jack himself.

🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 

AHHHHH! Kill me now.

Cas:

CAS: You've been spending a lot of time with the snake. ("You've been spending a lot of time alone.") ... CAS: How is he? ("How are you?") JACK: I don't think he's feeling well. ("I don't think I'm feeling well.")

///

DEAN:

JACK: I think it's sad. ("I think I'm sad.") ... DEAN: (accepting this, not pushing him) You try bacon? (Jack adds bacon to the pan) DEAN: So does the snake want to take a trip? ("Do you want to take a trip?")

an idea i invite anyone else to write about / run with lol....

the premise that The Change gets all messed up for alberto, say it's something that can happen from stress, &/or happens rarely and you just have to wait for it to resolve itself....used as some parallel to struggling through some emotional turbulence / upheaval / questioning / Realizing Things, etc etc

Jack Kline really is a little like Dean and Mary in this way (14x15):

///

Cas, is used to:

ensuring protective parameters for Jack ("You can't afford to burn off any more of your soul!")

the physical providing for Jack ("I'll make you some soup.")

and he's even used to providing praise and encouragement, ("You have the heart and mind of a hunter.").

But Cas's a little at sea in 14x15, and maybe even a little frustrated with the more raw emotions Jack is displaying.

When it comes to this, Jack is prickly and defensive.

///

As it turns out, in 14x15 Peace of Mind, Cas is more comfortable dealing with Sam's emotional interiority. He and Sam have similar arcs when it comes to themes of running away versus leading (Hunter Heroici, hi). Cas gets through to Sam by talking frankly about the loss of the AU hunters and failing as a leader. Sam responds to pushing.

Whereas Jack? Despite outward appearances, his emotional interiority is more similar to Dean's and Mary's. He needs space. He doesn't need to be pushed.

I adore this about him.

(He also lashed out emotionally, like how we see Dean and Mary lash out. It’s a pity Jack’s powers made the consequences so much more extreme. A tragic power imbalance.)

it's so genuinely interesting to look at my favorite characters in supernatural because it changes so much as the show goes on and each character is different in each season and with each writer. Like, Sam in the early seasons with the demon blood, his brand of daddy issues, his trying to be good but everyone including heaven is telling him he's nothing more than a demon blood-drinking vessel of Lucifer, and he'll sacrifice himself to save the world and stop the apocolapse. oh my god i think about that every five minutes. he's just a long, shaggy-haired, too-tall, and too-kind young man. he sees the best in everyone, and tries to redeem monsters when he can because if he can save them, he can save himself, right? and later on I think about the soulless sam and hallucinating lucifer and the ramifications of being in the cage for so long, and all that so often. but then... idk he has his moments from time to time, but it felt like his character finished and just needed a woman to pair off with because TV character arcs always end with characters marrying, but he didn't even properly get that? he married an off-screen woman after his actual love interest DIED!

then we get dean, who started out as the typical beer-loving cool womanizer dude who loves his family, his car, and hunting things. then he gets broken down as the show goes on into exploring his daddy issues, and it was never something i really fully loved until later on, mostly because the show was always so insistent on keeping his Cool Status at first. then he did and it was always so good. but the show always put a beer back in his hand, a gun in his pocket, and I always left the season feeling like there was more to be explored. he can yell, scream, and cry, but he was never allowed to truly grow from those experiences. he died a hunter, after explicitly showing that was the last thing he wanted.

casiel. oh my god i love castiel. he very quickly became my favorite character above sam with his lack of understanding social queues and his relationship with heaven. ohhhhhh my GOD his relationship with heaven. that scene at the bench where he's begging for clarification and a sign and for god to talk to him????? I'm sobbing. at times i felt like his character's arcs were forced, or his arc was too quick, or off-screen, but that's a by-product of the studio keeping him as a side character so misha had a max number of episodes to show up in. i really hate not seeing "starring: misha collins" because misha really is the heart of the character. just like everyone, but especially misha. he kept castiel around and brought him to life beyond what was expected and that was how it was from day fucking one of his portrayal. oh my god.

also, adam! because his bitterness and spite and hatred always felt So Real. imagine you're him, and your dad travels for his job, but comes to baseball games and he's nice and all. then he disappears and suddenly two men, kinda older than you, show up saying all sorts of crazy shit. they're your father's children from his first marriage before his wife died when they were super young -what?- and his job was hunting monsters -what the fuck?- and you're actually a dark secret in his life and they are fucking pissed cause he was such a shit dad to him -what the FUCK?- oh, and he's dead, killed by a demon -what the actual FUCK- then you get possessed by -get this- the archangel Michael and before you can even begin to properly process that angels exist and the apocolapse is happening because you're still reeling over the fact that your dad was a deadbeat to his two other children who were raised to hunt monsters and your family was like a vacation getaway for him so he can pretend to be normal instead of raising his two other children properly, but you can't think about THAT because oh my god sam took control of lucifer and dragged you and Michael, btw in the same body, down to the hell. but not normal hell, oh no, this is the cage where time is so much faster and you're there for hundreds of years and lucifer is torturing sam and it's awful and you're stuck there with Michael and wow, did he ever say goodbye to his mom (note: i forget if his mom is even alive or talked about, but i assume so) Then you get brought back, and of COURSE YOU HATE EVERYONE!!!

Carcharodons being “space sharks” makes them way less scary to me haha. Ive seen too many videos of sharks swimming up to divers asking to be pet for that association to be frightening. Also did you know that some sharks (especially the lemon shark species) pick specific divers as favourites and become kinda possessive of them? These animals are so silly.

Tyberos is soooo fearsome… that is until he puts his head in your lap and demands head scritches

Sharks were my original Special Interest, so believe me when I say I know my fair share of silly facts.

And while Tyberos might not put his head in your lap, he’ll sure as hell be possessive and bite at anyone who comes too close. Chomp chomp
