I've seen the posts that have said that if it weren't for hunting Sam and Dean would have nothing in common, and not only does that make me sad but I don't think that's true. So here's a list of things they should bond over/canonically have in common (and they could share if the writers didn't hate them for some reason)

History. They are both genuinely fans of history. They should be able to talk about historical events, figures, technology, etc. if you're thinking that Dean's only interested in war and battles and violence and Sam is more interested in politics and stuff, I'm sorry to tell you that war is incredibly politically relevant. Besides there are some cowboys that have got to count as serial killers, like come on (they're both disappointed in Cas' storytelling proficiency for sure)

Weird childhood road trip games. You're telling me these two grew up on the road, in motel rooms where they would be left alone sometimes for weeks at a time pre internet and they didn't come up with strange, convoluted, sometimes violent ways to pass the time? Give me a scene where they're casually playing an unknown card game and they just pull out a piece of paper and a pencil, a stick of gum, a handful of coins, crumpled receipts and half an army man that they use as game pieces with no communication (I imagine Jack asking to be taught and the brothers having to say 'thats just the rule' over and over again because the rules are dumb)

Other board games. Chess. Other ones too but let them play chess they have a chess board and we never saw them play and I am ANGRY about it. They're competitive! Let them play against each other and get so angry they're shouting and then agree to do it again next week! (They get Mary, Jack, Cas over to play monopoly and experience genuine betrayal)

Pool. If it's not for hustling, I think they'd both enjoy playing against each other. We know they're both good at it. (For some reason, I don't think they'd enjoy real card games that they did for hustling like poker)

Pranks. Before they made Sam boring the brothers enjoyed pranking each other. They should also have fun pranking other people (I enjoy oblivious Sam, so Dean keeps using the pranks to flirt w/ Cas [it works, he plays along] and Sam keeps getting worried that Cas is gonna get mad they keep messing with him)

Movies, books, and other epic genre media. Dean is a giant nerd and we know Sam likes fantasy books. Dean read Sam stories growing up. They both wanted to watch the new Indiana Jones movie, Dean just happened to be dead

Being by a lake in the middle of the woods. Dean likes fishing, Sam likes camping/hiking. They get a trailer for Dean and Sam pitches a tent outside. They get alone time during the day and then come back together to drink beers around the fire and stargaze. Campfire meals. Toes in the sand. Casual hikes that are about the journey not the destination. They bring the rest of the family sometimes, and it's peaceful

Sports. Sam's the bigger sports fan in general but Dean likes baseball and wrestling. He also likes golf but for some reason I don't see Sam being into golf

Buying each other silly presents. Listen, when Sam got Dean that slinky it made him so happy. Also me. They should get each other terrible, touristy souvenirs, the uglier the better ("I got you this because it looks exactly like you")

Judging the weird stuff mundane people do. They're professional people watchers and noticers who travel across america every week. Surely they see people do some weird shit and gossip about it

Music. They have crossover in their tastes goddamnit. But also I think Dean should be able to learn guitar and Sam should be on percussion and they should jam out

Live shows. Idk what kinds, but. Live shows.

Tossing a ball back and forth. Very classic guy thing that they're never allowed to do. Not even in a sports way, I mean like, across a room. They keep backing up to see how far away from each other they can get. They add rebounds off walls and propped up books to get around corners

+1 escape rooms. Do I think they'd be really good at them? Absolutely. Do I think they'd enjoy them? Unclear.

Tfw idiosyncrasies in the bunker:

What petty roommate shit do you think they do that annoys each other?

- dean doesn’t stop with beer, he uses anything other than water to iron Sam’s clothes for him. sam is enraged yet somehow is not taking the very obvious hint that he’s 34 and could be doing his own laundry

- sam makes a chore chart even though 90% of the non-men of letters stuff ends up being done by dean bc 1) jack WILL get a chemical burn if he attempts to use cleaning supplies and 2) sam (and mary, when she’s over) trying to clean goes exactly like that scene in derry girls where james rubs mayonaise all over a window thinking it was windex. and 3) dean’s the type of person who will watch someone clean and then redo everything the second they stop lol. none of these facts stop dean from loudly complaining that ‘no one ever helps him around here’ or stop sam from complaining that dean never does anything bc he doesn’t help out a lot with the cataloging

- if cas is mad at one or both of the brothers he WILL wait until they’re like halfway through cooking an elaborate dinner before announcing he’s ordered pizza for dinner- which OBVIOUSLY jack is gonna want over whatever they’ve been slaving away over the stove for lmao

- jack has no concept of locked doors he doesn’t KNOW he’s being annoying but he really will walk right in on anything and everything. dean strongly considered putting up anti-angel warding on his bedroom door but cas wouldn’t let him bc he thought it would hurt jack’s feelings

- cas has never thought to ask to borrow a laptop in his LIFE he’ll just take whoever’s isn’t being used and ruin everyone’s search history with ancient aliens podcasts and cat tv

- one time dean was mad at jack about something or another so he spoiled the ending to whatever season of walking dead jack was on. state-wide power outage.

- cas has gotten really good with human boundaries over the years! however he will 100% walk in on people while they’re in the shower to ask them questions (he refuses to see how it could be invasive when there’s a curtain between them)

- half the time mary’s over she’ll fall asleep in bed with her muddy shoes on and whenever dean goes in to clean the sheets after she leaves he wants to throw up

- any time dean and jack seem to be hanging out alone sam is in genuine fear for his life because it always ends in pranks or shenanigans

- they all tried to play monopoly one game night and things got so heated that someone ended up with the colt pressed to their forehead

- dean makes an offhand comment about how he thinks souvenirs are dumb bc he’s been everywhere a million times you know. no one else discusses this it’s just silently understood from that moment on that everyone is going to get him the cheesiest souvenirs they can possibly find every time they go on a hunt or whatever. magnets, hats, keychains, shirts, statues, the man is DROWNING in the shit and he can’t just throw it away bc then he’ll have 3 pairs of puppy eyes to deal with. he is back in hell

- every single argument between sam and dean ends up with jack and/or mary hearing the MOST embarrassing story about the other brother

- jack doesn’t sleep as much as a human but when he does he is VERY teenager-y about it and the others looooove waking him up with loud noises and joking when he stumbles into the kitchen at 1pm with his eyes half closed bc he gets SO grumpy about it lol

- sam put too much soap in the dishwasher and flooded the kitchen one time. cas had to frantically help him clean everything up before the others got home and he proceeded to use this as blackmail for the next 2 years

- dean will put his feet up on a table but if anyone else tries to do that it’s a Problem

- cas and dean bought some of those color changing lightbulbs for jack but realized they forgot to mention it to sam after he started completely freaking out about the room suddenly turning red. both decided in that moment to pretend the lights were normal sam what are you talking about do you wanna go lay down-

- if you go into sam and cas’ private messages with each other 70% of it is just covertly taken videos of dean yelling out loud while he’s fighting with mommy vloggers on the internet

- sam never cleans his hair out of the drain everyone wants him dead for this

- jack NEVER puts ANYTHING back in the fridge properly he has received several lectures about bacteria and food poisoning and YET,

- cas, who doesn’t eat anything, makes sure to complain about sam’s cooking every time he tries out a new vegan recipe in order to win Dean Points(tm)

- the only times cas regrets turning his back on heaven is when a winchester prank war is happening

- jack never wears headphones and drives everyone nuts

- dean will take a pie out of the oven to cool and come back to find it half eaten already

- claire bought them a ‘ (x amount) of days since our last nonsense’ board as a joke and sam crossed out ‘our’ and replaced it with ‘dean’s’. how do you think he responded to that.

couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name

Hey @couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name Who’s the asshole who doesn’t pick up their dryer sheets? It’s a tripping hazard!

definitely Jack BUT Dean almost never remembers to clean the lint screen which everyone has decided is worse lmao

Gaza is not okay and never has been

Every day here feels heavier than the one before

Hunger is growing, illness is spreading, and fear never leaves

We are living in conditions no human should endure

Insects, rats, disease, and no real way to protect ourselves

My father is still very sick

He urgently needs treatment, but in a place like this, even basic medicine is out of reach

I try every day to keep my family going, but this is bigger than what we can handle alone

Please don’t scroll past this🥺🙏

Let your humanity speak💔

Donate and share

Dear Esteemed Donors, My name is Ahmad, and I am a 16-year-old from northern Gaza… Ahmad family needs your support for Support Ahmad’s Fami

📌📌📌 Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiary’s account on the platform, which put us in a very difficult situation.

📌📌📌 My main account @ahmadwaleed55 was suspended, so I will be using this account to continue sharing my family’s campaign and updates.

I still think it's funny if John is the one to walk in on DeanCas, and then John's so hyperfocused on THE MISSION and he kinda respects Cas FYI for reasons I will NOT go into here that all he does is like, throw Cas his shirt like, "Hurry up. Get dressed. We've got work to do."

And Dean is numb with embarrassment.

Later John is gonna make comments, but like, they're weirdly in Cas's favor, but at Dean's expense.

The comments:

-> OMG. Dean arrives late to a case and John asks if he was busy getting railed. (rude) Sam: *confused look* No? He was just hanging out with Cas.

-> John: You and Cas better not have let that monster get away because you were making eyes at each other

Sam (oblivious and full of s1 John hate): It got out the exit YOU were covering?? Were you making eyes at your own ass???

✨Were you making eyes at your own ass??? ✨

-> John whenever Dean gets pissy: "Maybe you should call your plumber."

-> John whenever Cas gets pissy: "Dean, take him out back and let im blow off some steam. We need him sharp."

John every time Cas and Dean have an argument like; son, do not mess this up for me that guy is Useful

✨Son, do not mess this up for me that guy is Useful✨

-> Son, you better suck it up and apologize

-> “With whatever sucking it takes”

DEAN: “Jesus fucking Christ, DAD”

I think John laughs at Cas's jokes too btw. Like gregarious, shoulder-slapping laughter, and it's HORRIFYING.

The usual suspects. @lazarrusrising @irondeficientf3r0ck @dykeygardenbear

#I want Sam to regain his daddy issues focus n start insulting John like crazy #he'd be so so funny about it #this time dean doesn't stop him #so he's happy about that too

it got worse better again:

via @lazarrusrising

Yesss, this is the situation where his support is The Worst!!!!

John: “It’s a soldier thing. You *wouldn’t get it.”

Sam (judging hard, losing his temper): “You served in Vietnam, dad, not billions of years of cosmic battles!!!!”

via @bridgetoon

Yess, Cas definitely has the unrestrained murder in his eyes, and once John fully understands Cas’s skill set on the job, he’s impressed by the murder. He’ll see Cas flick a look of restraint at Dean, and he’s like, “Oh, he would in fact murder me if not for Dean.” 😏 “I can respect that.”

I think John might like to try to push his buttons like how he does with Sam, but in a different way that oscillates with the Commiseration (TM).

✨Still terrible when he’s trying his best. ✨

kinky-cas

i like to think that the way they get a couch in the dean cave is by cas mojo-ing the recliners into one. either this happens the 3rd time dean’s old man knees get in the way of getting hot ‘n heavy, OR it’s before they get together and cas does it by accident because he was wishfully daydreaming so hard about making out with dean.

dean is understandably surprised and confused by his chair transforming right under him, and cas has to come up with an explanation that isn’t ‘I got so horny thinking about you that i spontaneously manifested a couch’. maybe he goes with ‘it’s… better for family movie nights’ *cue both of them looking at what is VERY obviously a cozy 2 person loveseat*.

that or dean has drifted off to sleep and cas is so wildly jealous of the recliner wishing it was his shoulder dean was sleeping on that oops! he accidentally wills it into reality without even waking dean up. 27min later when the movie ends dean comes to on Cas’s shoulder, curled up on a couch he’s never seen before. so of course he fully assumes he’s still dreaming and says something domestic and romantic he wouldn’t have said if he knew he was awake. cue mortification from both parties, which eventually resolves into getting their shit together and fucking on the new couch. after which dean tries to make cas use his angel powers for a kitchen remodel.

kinky-cas

@kerryweaverlesbian I’m WHEEZJNG yeah if sam has to put up with them being horny on main he is not above trying to get a nice gym out of it 😂

deangloriam

fics where dean mends his clothes with a sewing kit he keeps in his duffle bag. fics where he has worn knees in his jeans and a button on his flannel that’s always hanging by a thread. where his socks are threadbare and holey and his shoes are on the wrong side of too small. tread worn down by his younger brother before being passed down to him so he could get sam new ones. where he cherishes a shirt he thrifted years ago and quietly morns one’s he lost from blood and guts and gore and gunshots. fics where dean is the most sentimental person living in an unforgiving environment.

sheepstiel

dean orders pizza to the bunker. his pizza delivery guy gets send coordinates to the middle of nowhere. he gets good tips tho.

sheepstiel

@eldritchraptor i love the implication that cas, despite being able to fetch the pizza directly from the pizza place via flying there himself, he still lets the pizza guy deliver it for the drama of it all

sheepstiel

@subtextnatural saint castiel protector of delivery workers<3

should’ve be a running gag that cas’s cellphone gets destroyed often

worried dean face cuts to a long shot of a shattered cell phone on the side of the road

Oh, I can see this! Imagine him getting frustrated and doing the “old man stabbing buttons” move on the screen and just… poking a hole straight through it.

They should have had Sam be obsessed with chess. That is not a man who can resist the sweet siren lure of chess.com

Eileen finds chess magazines under his bed with his magic stuff

chess is like leadership where Sam is the one that's really dedicated to it and puts in a lot of work but Dean and Cas are naturals at it

Au where everything is the same except Cas actually can see souls and whenever he's around Dean he does the looking/not looking thing of when someone has a low cut top

Bonus points if the soul is located in the titty area, except souls are a metaphysical substance so Cas' eye line doesn't change even when Dean turns around

After they get together Cas stops with the pretense and starts staring unabashedly, leading to many many cases of Dean waving a hand in Cas' face and going 'hey buddy my eyes are on this plane of existence!' But also Dean wearing a shirt with one of those cut out titty windows and making 'window to the soul' jokes

He wears a necklace that draws the eye in that direction, like when Cas needed to borrow the samulet and his eyes just trailed down to Dean's chest

Alternate end of season 7 where Raphael comes back

You don't get it!!! Kevin ends up with the grumpiest and most overworking guardian (arch)angel ever!!!

Raphael: I may have lost my chance at starting another Apocalypse but I have a new prophet and I will not lose this one

There isn't a single demon or criminal in any of the towns Kevin move in, lol

Cue to some years

Dean, Cas and Sam are doing whatever they are doing and Kevin Tran became president

There's a scene by episode with Raphael smiting something or Kevin stopping Raphael from smiting something or trying to teach him democracy.

Raphael doesn't see the point.

Also, Kevin is cheering everytime Raphael smites a demon because they tried to hurt him, then (since Raphael is protecting him) they tried to harm his mom and his girlfriend for at some point for leverage. Raphael defended them too.

Surprisingly, Linda and Raphael are getting along. Linda is the only one able to have conversations with Raphael and getting sense in the archangel's head.

(Kevin tells everyone that Raphael is his bodyguard. It's not a lie after all.)

#I've now decided raphael is the only angel with maternal feelings #ofc angelic version of that is still insane #but uk

#wud b funny if Linda was the only one willing to laugh at his jokes or smth n that's why he likes her XD (via @jasmineintheforest)

I'm dying 😂 Obviously, once, Cas is shown side-eyeing them because, you know "Raphael never looks like he's joking"

Religious physicist Castiel who sees the beauty of the universe as proof of God's existence

His faith is tested and lost and tested again and the universe is still beautiful

headcanon that cas learns to fuss over his own hair and clothes FROM dean doing it so often to him off-camera

also: cas never breaks in front of dean

cas always acts like he doesn’t gaf about his appearance when dean is nearby

appleisoffline

Supernatural Disney Channel Sitcom AU where middle/highschool Sam and Dean are the new kids at school and Dean is the like…Skateboard Kid (tm), Sam is the Smart One (or the Art Kid of some sort. Maybe photo/videography?) and Castiel is the weird kid that people avoid because he’s “weird” and “scary” but Dean saunters up planning to usurp him as the most intimidating or something only to find out he’s really dorky and then they all hang out together.

They all get together and start like an occult club and they document “monster sightings” (real or not tbd) and the whole school thinks they’re all freaks but Sam and Dean can beat anyone in a fight and Castiel is still the scary quiet kid people think is plotting murder

They hang out at the local skatepark and tag the half pipe with like some secret symbol they made up

Crowley is there and he’s that one kid that would always try and sell you pogs or pokemon or silly bandz or whatever is popular now idk and scam you out of it or blackmail you when you cheated on a test

Idk about everyone else but this idea was worming around my brain a bit

appleisoffline

@30-to-50-plastic-spiders this is like the most perfect addition to this I could ask for /pos

The Hannah Montana thing is PERFECT I just imagine them getting into side-plot hijinks as they desperately try and cover up what they’re doing. Cas having *those* parents also makes SO much sense, and would keep a version of his character arc as he learns to rebel and form his own opinions. I feel like one of the “bits”/running jokes is that we never see any of them ACTUALLY do homework but Sam is magically passing all his classes. Dean ends up at summer school for like three episodes and comes back like “dude that was absolute hell” and Cas is like “did you know that that you were STILL failing history and I bailed you out of even more class by forging signatures? I will rat both of us out and throw you back into Hell if you keep being annoying”

I think Rowena is the cool older-sister type that they all think is mean and cold but sometimes she drives them to the remote places they need and it’s like a reluctant alliance and Bobby’s place is their “secret hideout”. He still helps out and everything

(Also yes!! If Dean was never able to skateboard you know he desperately WANTED to. Like there’s a part of me that fully believes there’s a camcorder out there with a handful of videos from when Dean dragged Sam out to the skatepark and made him record all his “cool tricks”)

30-to-50-plastic-spiders

Oh God Rowena being the one with the driver’s license is perfect. I think she has car eyelashes over the headlights. And MASSIVE yes to Bobby’s house being their secret hideout (Bobby has three pseudo-children now, much to his mixed delight and chagrin)

I am also very enamoured with Cas being so ready for subterfuge and fraud, though it is very accurate. I kind of imagine he was maybe homeschooled/tutored prior to this? And his parents/Heaven had to release him into middle/highschool to mingle with the peasantry for like social development, or maybe as part of some occult scheme they need carried out at the school.

I also think another running bit could be that we never see John. Sam and Dean will mention him coming home, will very occasionally report back with answers from him, sometimes he’ll ask them to do something, but we never actually see him.

I feel, though obviously feel free to disagree, that Cas and Sam have to start off weird/on the wrong foot. Whether Sam still has his psychic powers in this, or Cas is just like my ‘parents say moles are a sign someone is a witch and in league with the devil’, or because Sam dabbles in a bit of magic/witchcraft or whatever. I imagine this is resolved in episode one/two though, and they get on over a shared love of bugs or something

Medieval AU but it's Cas who's the knight. He's got a weird devotional thing going on with the Count, saved him during a crusade, staring during mass, "I always come when you call", but the moment Dean tries to make half a move Cas immediately fucks off to a random quest that takes him several years, knights of the Round Table style. Every time he comes back he drops Dean one of kids. Dean genuinely can't tell if Cas swore a vow of celibacy and he's increasingly desperate to find out

Claire in a hennin and a kirtle tells Dean to just arrest Cas on a technicality whenever he comes back and fuck him

Meanwhile the actual plot is about how the Devil is trying to possess the count's brother and bring about the og Apocalypse 1000

#good morning to valdelion via @shallowseeker

*Dean voice* Shal Jack remember you have jousting practice and latin lessons today

also entertaining nebulous thoughts of post-canon / universe-hopping spnwin dean saving baby dean from the spnwin universe (kind of imagining a, erm, "canon-divergent" AU of @shallowseeker's spnwin future seasons). heaven and hell are after baby dean. our dean saves him from danger and intends to bring him back but. Baby (the car) glitches and transports them to another place in time/space. so now dean's gotta try to get back to the spnwin universe to return the baby, but in the meantime, he's got a baby! but it's HIM. well, a version of him. and ohhhh is it fucking with his head and parentification to quite literally ! be the caretaker of his infant self. like oh my god. but also? literally healing ur inner child. wait--another version of this where.....post-canon dean shows up in the spnwin universe on nov 2nd and saves himself from the fire but then glitch~ he and 4 yr old AU!dean get transported somewhere else and now he has to journey across time and space with a four yr old version of himself. and he's so good with him but it's also fucking him up but also healing.

dean makes 4 yr old dean all his (og dean's) favorite foods and in the future when spnwin dean is older and eats pie or burgers or winchester surprise he just remembers these hazy memories of that time a kind man took care of him and it's again like with the impala in the og series, dean is the reason why dean likes all these things.

accidental baby acquisition. but the baby? is you.

along the journey dean gets a lead on the empty portal (he's been hopping thru time and space to rescue cas after all) and on the one hand he really needs to get this baby/4 yr old back to his rightful universe. but on the other hand, it's cas. he needs to follow this lead. so, detour. with kid in-tow. staying at motels along the axis mundi. he's painfully aware of the parallels to his own childhood. but he's trying to make it nice. trying to make sure the baby/kid is comfortable and taken care of. but the pressing single minded focus of find cas find cas find cas is thrumming in the background.
