supernatural sideblog of runsquidling. mostly meta, sometimes wincest. supernatural is at its best when it's horror but there's charm in the action-adventure era too.

Not based on type of music or lyrics, though some things do overlap a lot!

Pls reblog so this gets beyond my circle of biased mutuals lol

[twochildreninamoteldemo]

If I was to condense each of these into easily explainable categories, I'd say:

1. Devotion in a loving way, years of it

2. Dark americana, abuse, family trauma

3. "I want to be under your skin" codependency

4. Intense shame and self-loathing pining

5. A secret not spoken, messy relationship

6. Bright americana, falling in love, youthfulness

Btw this isn't about the artists u like best it's about the genre of samdean u like the best. Just keep that in mind 😙

[twochildreninamoteldemo]

this is a call for u to listen to the other artists in the category u choose also:))))) I'm sure most of y'all know all of them but flower face may be under the radar so i just want to say she has the sound of mitski/daughter with themes of obsessive dark love, melancholy, codependency, and tainted youth!

#What I love the most about this isn’t sassy Sam though I love that too#I absolutely adore that Dean is so proud and fond of his brother to want to talk to him in the hall#Some siblings would completely ignore each other but Dean is so whipped for bb Sammy that he has to stop and check in on him#So cute#Sam & Dean#Weechesters#Supernatural#Spn#Spn episode: After School Special#Sam Winchester#Dean Winchester

Sam prayed to the archangel Raphael when he was younger: he asked for good health and a long life.

Sam prayed to the archangel Gabriel when he was younger: he asked for a message from God that confirmed he was needed and wanted.

Sam prayed to the archangel Michael when he was younger: he asked for a brave heart and the hands of a fighter.

I’m sure the archangels heard their caged brother’s cries echoed in that child’s pleas. I’m sure that’s why they gave him exactly what he asked for. No more, no less.

I love how they can disarm each other this way. (see this post) That one of them will be enraged and out for blood but the other can just pull him back, place a hand on his chest, make eye contact, and just stop him. Then walk him out and away.

“I think that Sam always had more of a macrovision of life whereas Dean was much more micro and the loss of his brother would have been the beginning of the end of him. He would have probably just wasted away in the back of a pool hall.” - Jensen Ackles

sam n dean starting to mess around and starting a Thing together but it turns out one of them was possessed for the entire duration of that part of their relationship and it was a demon-forcing-him-to-watch type situation n it was actually very fucked up and no ones happy

[twochildreninamoteldemo]

im sorry but u really can’t leave out the tags, i’m grinding my teeth into dust rn

[familyishell-deactivated-deacti]

(possessed) sam makes the first move obviously, & sam's watching all of it, & as uncomfortable as it all makes him, he's relieved in the moment where the demon propositions dean, bc surely this is what will finally make dean realize he's possessed, surely he'll say no & realize this isn't sam

but dean has been pining & waiting 4 this exact moment 4 years & so sam has 2 watch as dean absolutely goes 4 it w/o a 2nd thought, immediately says yes w/o a hint of doubt

HOW TO WRITE A LOVE LETTER TO YOUR BROTHER, chris abani

[submarinerwrites]

one real interesting thing about supernatural season one episode twenty “dead man’s blood” is the appallingly direct parallels drawn between sam and dean and the pair of vampire lovers. john puts kate in a chokehold and demands that luther hand over the colt: 

luther puts sam in a chokehold and demands that dean drop his machete:

this is objectively insane. even the framing of the two shots is similar. what were they trying to accomplish with this?? because what the actual fuck. are you saying that sam and dean are literally in love??? that they mate for life???? that they’re unconditionally deovted to each other????? i’m listening!!!!!!

[shinelikethunder]

it’s not even the first time we get a Dean-as-Luther / Sam-as-Kate parallel - the very first time we meet the vamp power couple, it’s Kate offering up Elkins’ murder and the resulting plunder as a gift for Luther, who instead is pissed at the attention it might draw to them:

KATE: I did it for you, for what he did to your family. LUTHER: Revenge isn’t worth much if you end up dead.

which of course is a tidy, almost on-the-nose summation of the theme whose variations are going to ricochet through the entire s1 finale: which are you willing to drop, revenge for your dead loved ones or the lives of the loved ones you’ve got left?

and it’s not JUST Sam and Dean, although it always comes back to them… it’s John thinking he can spare his sons by making his revenge quest into a suicide mission, it’s Sam and Dean finally presenting a united front against their dad to convince him they’ll have a better shot as a team, it’s “this thing goes south, just get the hell out,” it’s Meg calling John up to say “give me the gun or I keep killing your friends,” it’s Meg calling his sons up to say “you’re never going to see your father again” in order to bait a trap for the gun; hell, in a distorted way, it’s Meg’s brother-demon being willing to shoot her just to test if the gun is real. it’s the big fight between Sam and Dean, it’s Dean calling it that John is possessed not only because his dad praised him but because he praised him for sticking to the “wrong” answer, it’s John begging Sam to shoot him, it’s “no sir, not everything.” it’s John realizing on Dean’s deathbed which of them actually stands a chance of keeping Sam off the demon’s chosen path for him, and only then - only then - trading the gun and his own life for the life of the son he’d always taken for granted.

and fittingly enough, although the scripted dialogue above is almost too tidy as a Sam/Dean parallel, the underlying dynamic of their interaction is more John-as-Luther and Dean-as-Kate: she presents him an offering made out of devotion that nevertheless isn’t in step with his answer to the central question, and it’s like her entire sense of self is yanked out from underneath her by his dismissal and rebuke. later she’ll be the one he sends out to entrap the Winchesters in the same scene where John uses Dean as bait. but before that, the roles shift again, and the entire vampire clan’s treatment of the two human captives mirrors the way John’s treatment of Sam and Dean will be mirrored by Azazel in Devil’s Trap: the placating one gets contemptuously disposed of, the defiant one gets singled out for respect and recruitment.

sorry, this is a lot of words that may or may not sound like arguing when really it’s more like i’m trying to yes-and the original point. Sam and Dean dropping the quest and saving each other instead = what it keeps coming back to, in a more complicated way that still really is that brutally simple. and the parallel in the shots above absolutely is just that pointed and deliberate… but it’s also part of a larger whole of all the ways Dead Man’s Blood is a kaleidoscope made of funhouse mirrors that prefigure the whole s1 finale. i’m obsessed with it. sheila o'malley lost her ENTIRE MIND over it. SPN 1x20 really is That Bitch.
