mary being alive again lends itself to so much comedy potentially because to dean she is this idealized otherworldly being watching over the family but to sam she’s literally no one. he was a fucking baby when she died. she shows up and he’s like huh. we did All That and for what? this is just some lady.
mary will be like, a leeetle aggressive while tying up a demor or something and dean will have a quiet mental breakdown like [miette voice] mother is angry? mother is violent? my beautiful angelic mommy with the white nightgown? the holy ghost watching over this family from the grave? my perfect serene mommy who could do no wrong and has no ambition beyond making warm milk for her children and standing in a kitchen framed by heavenly light?🥺😭
meanwhile two weeks earlier mary showed up to the bunker at 6 am covered in blood, sat at the war room table, poured a double whiskey, lit up a cigarette and said “took out 2 vampire nests in one night with ketch. we fucked on the warehouse floor. also i have an onlyfans now” and sam was just like
this was supposed to be a humor post but now im thinking of how dean is actually in real life the idealized version of mary that John built up after her death, while sam is so much closer to the real mary (tormented by unholy rage, petty, prone to violence, etc (Honorific))
are you ever created by your earthly father in the image of someone who doesn’t exist? are you ever the ghost of a ghost?
