#the codependent brothers

[cathybird0714]

About Sam and Dean’s relationship, my friend and I discussed a metaphor : It’s clear that they were both incomplete shapes from the start.Sam was slightly better off, his shape a little closer to a circle. But after 15 years of fate’s torment, they clung so tightly to each other that they gradually took on each other’s form, merging into one unbroken, perfectly round shape—a whole that could no longer be separated. They functioned as a single unit, supporting each other and moving forward… until Dean died. Then Sam was left to live out the rest of his days as a broken shape, in a world where no one else could ever understand that missing piece.

"How did Shuro think he could marry Falin when he hated her brother?" you have to understand. Toshiro is from a whole different country. In his head he and Falin would move back to the Eastern Archipelago and they'd see Laios twice a year tops. You can pretend to get along with in-laws you don't like for a few days a year, people do that all the time.

The actual flaw in his plan– which shows he doesn't really understand either of the Touden siblings– is the fact that if the plot hadn't happened and Falin had for some reason said yes to his proposal, Laios would have packed his bags and moved away with them instantly.

A phone call between brothers (takes place AFTER this incident and Fiddleford's phone call)

Sorry if this is OOC!

*crying (of joy)* it's beautiful....

Stanley becoming more jumpy after that, he smell of wet soil sends him back to that moment and while before he had difficulty breathing in hot climates, now he struggles to breathe in autumn when the smell of wet leaves and dirt is strongest. He freaks out at the dark, when he can't see and when there's the 'unknown'...

But when he's with Ford? He's fine. Yeah, lights went out, so what? No, Sixer, I don't need a stupid nightlight like some kid.

Stanley doesn't realise it, of course. He becomes a bit dependent, something he always feared after being kicked out, and he isn't even aware of it. He doesn't know how it breaks Ford's heart when he has to leave the room after Stanley falls asleep only in his presence because he refuses to leave the light on throughout the night, he doesn't know what he looks like when he isn't able to predict everything and looks for Ford for guidance- as if waiting for him to clarify step by step what will happen...like when he took the potion and promised he'd be there.

And maybe Ford becomes a bit dependant of Stan too...Maybe he sticks a bit after his twin falls asleep, watching unblinkingly through the darkness how his chest rises and falls and making sure his skin his warm and the snores are real.

What if Stanley had to get buried alive to fake his death? Like Juliet where she takes that thing that fakes her death for a bit?

What if he was afraid of dark tight spaces after being stuck in a trunk but had to wake up in a coffin by himself, with no one to dig him out except himself?

How cool would that be?

Now a scenario where Ford is aware this is happening or happened :3 and he's horrified. Maybe Stan has some PTSD or panic attack in a small dark space and it's revealed yipee

really fucking tragic that we saw dean have to live without cas after he died multiple times but cas didn’t go through a widowers arc even once

[swsoulmatesdw]

Dean being desperate for Sam… the way he grabs him, pulls him in, touches him… is just the icing on the codependent, erotic, crazy cake that is the brothers’ show.

the xianle brothers

[deiiamorte]

After Rook comes back from the fade, I need him and Viago to have a single moment together in which their walls are completely down.

They're too goddamn tired to snark and bicker; too relieved to imply anything other than, "I thought I'd never see you again." I need them to hug. I need Viago's fingers to dig into his fledgeling's shoulder and ribs so tightly that one might think he's trying to crush Rook's body into his own. Meanwhile, I need Rook to cling onto his brother's Talon's body with his face hidden in Viago's shoulder as if he's still the broken and bloody child Viago found all those years ago.

It really baffles me how after 3 shows, this is the only scene where Caroline and Elijah are together.

And they don't even interact.

Ponyboy being oblivious to how Not Straight his relationship with Johnny and his feelings for Johnny are, because he’s seen Soda with Steve and Darry with Paul and thinks that’s just how guys are with their best buddies.

is this anything?

sam and cas are so... they're like brothers-in-law that are always slightly awkward bc their relationship only exists bc of a different person. and the first few seasons getting to know each other they keep getting pissed off if they exchange more than a few words ("he's an abomination", "i'll hunt you down and kill you", etc) but there's still somehow an inherent admiration there (bc that's Dean's Brother/that's An Angel). and eventually they do become some sort of actual friends. bc along with everything else. they realized that they can be bitchy to each other without toning it down and enable each other's most insane ideas.

compared to sam+dean and cas+dean's relationships, sam+cas are remarkably unaffected by everything that happens. they might have seasons long fights or plots with dean, but with each other they're always just kinda chill. like, yeah, course he's always gonna be there. we're friends and i don't actually like him that much but he is my 2nd closest family member in the world. he can be super annoying but i'd die for him in a heartbeat :)

“wincest isn’t canon!” dean winchester canonically thinks that “little brother” is a synonym for “wife”

Okok, I love love loove the FrankenStan AU. Ford accidentally killing Stan with his crossbow and trying to revive him makes sense.

But what about old Ford. They are finally happy, old brothers enjoying their well deserved adventure on the sea until Stan just...dies. Maybe it's an injury while fighting a kraken. Maybe some old enemies caught up to him. Or his heart. But Ford cannot accept the fact that once again, he lost his twin. They fought too long and hard to find each other again. Moving on is not an option. Stan can't be gone. Ford has to bring him back.

excuse me im just losing my mind a little bit
