It’s the end. We’re dead. We’re all dead.

Guys. I wish this were a TV show. Easy answers, endings wrapped up in a bow. But this is real. And it's gonna end bloody for all of us. That's just how it's gotta be.

i’m gonna start gatekeeping. like i’m sorry but you can’t speak on dean if you haven’t watched the first 3 seasons. that’s dean studies 101. it’s like oh? you wanna be a dean major but you haven’t taken the intro course? no dice. you can’t get a dean studies phd without dean studies 101. it’s foundational. BUT ALSO. you want that phd but haven’t taken the senior 500 level courses ?? you ONLY took 101 and a few 200 level course? babey you barely have a dean studies bachelors degree. not even enough credits for a minor.

I think a surprising amount of writers don’t realize that tragedies are supposed to be cathartic. They’re intended to result in a purging of emotion, a luxurious cry; the sorrow caused by a great tragedy is akin to fear caused by a good horror movie – it’s a “safe” sorrow, one that is actually satisfying to the audience. It can still be beautiful! It’s isn’t supposed to just be salting the earth so nothing can grow.

But that’s how you get grimdark: writers who don’t realize that they’re supposed to be doing something with the audience instead of to the audience.

#i once heard a lecture where someone said that the great appeal of tragedy is to see terrible things happen to people you’re supposed to#empathize with and see yourself in#and that the catharsis comes from seeing someone’s life go horribly wrong and still have the author hold your hand and tell you#‘this story mattered. even though it had a sad ending it still mattered. even if you don’t succeed your attempts matter’#grimdark tells you that the world sucks and nothing you do matters#well-written tragedy tells you that sometimes the world sucks but everything you do matters so so much#your story is still worth telling even if you never achieve that happy ending#or if you lose it along the way#people have inherent value and their stories deserve to be told no matter if they turn out okay or not#and in a reality that has no concept of ‘fair’ that shit just hits good man!!! feels good!!!!! it’s COMFORTING

i think the greatest visual irony spn ever pulled off was gradually increasing the lighting and saturation levels with each consecutive season after season 5 and ending up with almost the same colour palette as gabriel’s sitcom world in changing channels 

[sundryvillains]

time is a flat circle we will always end up here etc etc

[sundryvillains]

so some choice responses to this have been:

this was unintentional but works as an interesting metaphor for the show’s trajectory 

this was unintentional and i fucking hate it

this was INTENTIONAL and im breaking into the cw to set fire to all their assets

the w*ncestie who asked me to add a warning bc they think misha looks ugly in that second cap (??)

the thoughtful person who added an essay in the tags about how the colourist for seasons 1-6 quit in 2011 and spn has had various different colourists since, hence the inconsistent colour grading and its tendency towards the hypersaturation of other cw shows (i.e. riverdale)

the multiple people who said they like spn better when they can’t see shit

and my personal favourite,

gabriel won theory
