no offense but dean, deadliest hunter in the world, not wanting to stick his hand into a statue because he’s afraid of spiders is the softest and most pure thing ever
I’m really sick and tired of everyone assuming that Dean is not smart. He’s a fucking genius.
I love it when Dean looks people in the eye while stabbing them to death.
Fanboy!Dean <3
Dean Winchester | 13x06 Tombstone
Speaking of misconceptions about Dean (specifically about him being some kind of lothario), have you ever noticed how very not smooth Dean is when a woman propositions him? How surprised and flustered he gets? After Ellie asks him if he wants to go back to her room and have sex, this inarticulate babe comes out:
Or this woman who has this in reply to Dean telling her (as FBI and not meant as innuendo) he has ways to compel her to talk:
Or Suzy, he was not expecting that:
He can’t even remember he’s supposed to be kissing Anna back he’s so confused:
Or when Pamela said it might be his lucky day, just look at the wonder on this man’s face:
He had to give himself a freaking sex pep talk after it had been awhile (since Lisa, presumably, and wow that was a like a year):
I mean, in the second episode, he can’t even believe he’s getting a kiss on the cheek from a woman:
Flustered and frequently confused by a woman’s interest in him? Yes. Guy who takes advantage of women and does anything to get them into bed? No.
Dean Winchester + Misconceptions: Dean needs tough love because that’s the only thing he responds to

this is beautiful.
at some point i would love to talk about this misconception in fandom and the continuous use of it on the show in the last 13 years and what it says about the characters that use it to push dean to ‘man up’. to accept what is being asked of him even though he protests vehemently against this or that plan. i would like to be a reflection not on who dean is or how dean supposedly needs that tough love, but as an element of the characterization of those that have used it to push dean in some sort of compliance. how they knew it would work and what all of it says about them that they resort to it.
Oh my god, did you see this? Dean tries to wave the door open, but it doesn’t work and he’s so exasperated. Stupid door, why won’t you open? Damn it, now I have to pull it open myself.
Stupid broken automatic door, can’t you see your own sign that says be cautious of my automatic opening grumble grumble I’ll just do it myself. Stupid, useless door… {13.05}
dean is canonically the best hunter, don’t ever try to take that away from him ✌

Call me crazy but I didn’t need to see a season by season count or a frigging graph to understand the extent to which Dean is brutalized on this show. Watching the show was enough for me.
After all, Dean’s the punching bag of this show. This show (and the fandom btw) gets a perverse satisfaction by hurting and breaking Dean.
Of course, I can’t even imagine how people would react if Dean were female (can you? just think what/how you would feel if a female dean were getting beaten up in every other episode) but since he is a man, it’s all fun and good to break him. You see, it’s hot when Dean is hurt or in pain or in distress. Since the fan-base eats up and demands for more, the show appeases them with more pointless gratuitous violence against Dean. It’s a viscous circle.
I just hope, Jensen doesn’t hurt himself doing these stupid, repetitive, pointless, and utterly repulsive scenes.
This was probably never shown more clearly than in Suck…I mean Swan Song - where Dean “saves” Sam by allowing Lucifer in Sam to beat him almost to death trying to get through to Sam. You had part of fandom eating that up “oh he did it for love, love saves the day” and all that sort of crap. “See Dean had an important role in the finale, his love saved Sam”(no really it was Sam’s little plastic soldier but whatever…) Can you imagine if Dean had been a woman letting himself get beaten to death for “love”, the outrage? Would anyone be saying “oh isn’t it wonderful what an important and equal role she had by allowing herself to get nearly beat to death for love”? (I believe there is at least one similar scene involving Castiel as well a few seasons later) It’s really gross actually.
“Wow, not bad.”
“…’Not bad?’”
i want to think that he’ll use that typewriter at some point. start writing all the stories he knows and a thousand that he’ll invent. he’s an excellent storyteller (with good taste in books) and writing is something that i can see him doing. it’ll be by chance, and it will be easy and fun and it will help him stress; it fits his personality and gives him the freedom he needs and craves. he can be a writer slash hunter and if he ever publish a book (it will be under a pseudonym - oh the fun he’ll have choosing that one!) it’ll be successfully enough that he’ll get some money (and he will spend it all to give presents to Sam and Kevin and Garth and Charlie and Cas, and Benny).
in other words, i have decided that this is the reason that typewriter is there, ready to be used.
Sometimes I wonder if Dean Winchester would have found a way as deep into my heart as he has if Jensen hadn’t been the one to bring him to life. For sure and without a doubt I’d have fallen for the guy, who lost his childhood way too early and who yet still managed to preserve some kind of childlike innocence despite everything he’s been through - from archangels to the Darkness to the Mark of Cain. I know I would have felt drawn to this character as I simply feel more fascinated by troubled characters, the “anti-heroes”, the ones with a heart of gold and issues the size of the Empire State Building. But I think the reason Dean Winchester resonates with me as much as he does and also as deeply is not due to the general interest for these “types of characters”, I think most of it is due to Jensen and his performance.
Jensen is the one who “made” Dean imo. Not Kripke, not any of the other writers - they gave the raw material, Jensen took that and made Dean his own. He transcended so to speak, took on a life of his own. All the small things that make Dean so Dean, the things that Jensen just did and does that were never scripted, it’s those things that shaped and still shape Dean as a character. Of course I couldn’t imagine anybody else possibly playing Dean except for Jensen - truly I think him and Dean were kind of meant to be, and I know this sounds awfully silly. :) But I think one of the most beautiful things about Jensen’s acting and him playing Dean is that kind of from the get go, me as an audience member always felt this character to be so well-rounded, so real.
And I think partially that is due to how Jensen at this point and after 11 years, though I think it’s been this way for a while - doesn’t “act” Dean, doesn’t “play Dean. He becomes Dean. It’s like he’s slipping into the character, wears him like a second skin, talks in a different voice, carries himself differently - but none of that seems to take conscious control and action anymore, but comes super naturally (sorry, that was a really bad pun, but I had to ;P). And that’s always the thing that blows my mind most about Jensen and Dean. I have been lucky enough to have seen him up close and even though of course him and Dean share the same body and all, for some reason they don’t look the same at all. And I know this sounds crazy, but it’s true. Jensen is more delicate, takes up “less space” for lack of a better word than Dean would and yet, in an instant this guy can disappear and you find Dean in his place. A friend of mine once asked for a photo op with Dean instead of Jensen and I kid you not, for those 30 seconds of picture Jensen was gone and there was Dean Winchester. Of course the same man, the same body, but truly so much so different and so distinct. And it has such a massive effect in that moment, because it doesn’t feel “fake”; if you know what I mean. And that I think shows best why I probably would have loved the character Dean Winchester regardless of the actor, but probably never as much as I do now. That is entirely due to Jensen.
And I think the reason Jensen’s peformance captures me as much as it does may be because I feel that the moments and scenes that end up in the episodes contain true emotion, nothing artificial. Jensen disappears for that time and to the surface bubbles Dean Winchester. And I for one am extremely thankful that Eric Kripke chose Jensen to portray Dean Winchester, because truly they never could have found anyone better.
