this feels like a private moment between the two of them

[stormblessed47]

Ketch: My ducks? In a row. Ordered. Disciplined. Behaving predictably. Your ducks? Scattered. In disarray. Waddling aimlessly. Desperate for a leader to impose order. Pathetic.

Dean: Your ducks are hopelessly conformist and utterly lacking imagination and gumption. My ducks are independent, determined, and resourceful in their quest for self-determination. Our ducks are not the same.

Cas: Guys literally what the fuck.

Sam: I think you mean what the duck.

They really should have leaned into the BMOL being private schooled more, because they have some absolutely bizarre slang in English private schools. We should have had Ketch pouring out brandy and going “I’ll be mother” while Sam and Dean stare him like he’s insane. We should have had at least one “hard cheese, old man” in place of “oh dear”. He should have called someone a cabbage

I think we moved on from Lady Bevell a little too fast, like I genuinely wanted Dean and Sam to murder her THE SECOND she was stuck in the Bunker with them. And after agreeing to help fix Mary she tried to play the mother card? I could not care if she had a whole ORPHANAGE at her care, SHE MIND RAPED PEOPLE FOR A LIVING.

re: hunter morals and cruelty:

The thing is. We talk a lot about whether monster in spn are shown to be good or bad or whatever. But the reality is that there's an inherently fair bias in how lower-class hunters even find cases in the first place. As much as we're shown, hunters usually don't go scouting for signs of monster traits. They're specifically scouting for signs of monster cruelty. They're looking for cases and victims and human loss specifically (most often). That's already skewed in a fair way, if you ask me. The vigilantism is aimed at cases where monsters are reckless/violent/cruel enough to leave behind known victims. Ofc, it's nor perfect and it's subject to the bias of whoever has power (like knowledge, weapons, etc.). But that's true of every single thing uk 🤷🏾‍♀️.

Sam and Dean are mostly heroic to me for this reason. We can't forget that in spn, monster crimes aren't just about religion or whatever. It's about the experience of something happening to you that's sooo horrifying and then noone believing you, leaving you confused and vulnerable. It reminds me of how family trauma is irl. People don't LIKE to believe you, because it's too threatening to their overall belief system. And even when they do believe you, they really don't have useful/ empowering solutions at all. Sam and Dean are the ones who go in and believe them and help them and explain to them what exactly happened and how to protect themselves etc. (I think it was pine who pointed out that they often do educate civilians on the supernatural, and aren't actually that invested in hiding the existence of the supernatural tbh). In spn, you hide the existence of the supernatural to avoid censure and being institutionalised and having your freedoms taken away :/

Contrast this with something like the BMOL (or even the AMOL before the hunters took it over ig). THEY do surveillance and attack systematically. They don't aim their violence at actions of harm, but at monster characteristics. That's why they're so icky. It's a fundamentally different approach. This is also about class politics ofc!

And it's fine, in a way. After all, vigilante justice has many kinds of manifestations and origins. Irl, vigilantism is usually pretty harmful in so many contexts imo :/ But in fiction, it depends. (The reason we have this difference is coz narratives can be individualistic but reality isn't like that lol. My take, anyway).

And I think that's also why the show wasn't able to explore the Bmol well (other than writer incompetence lmao). You're mixing your metaphors or at least, assigning too many meanings to the same thing, without being able to have any in-universe clarity on it. Like, ofc, it's a good thing that spn writing is so realistic that every character has their own take and Actual Objective Reality is kinda hard to determine. But also the narrative should have some amount of clarity imo. Otherwise you end up with Carver era - style muddled messages, and Dabb era- style destruction of everything good in the narrative while still being able to identify some good themes lol.

LISTEN..... Hellhounds are not MEANT to be seen:

Unseen, is how I PREFER my Hellhounds to be.

Like in Jaws, Bruce the Shark.... Creatures hidden in the shadows. The kind of monster that lends the viewer to create the creepiest, scariest looking MONSTROSITY they can imagine....

Some real "Scary Stories" type shit... for the love of God, please KEEP it that way!

Do not ever show us what they look like!! Ever!! And if you do (@ the SPN writers,) do so, when shrouded in complete darkness. As either a glint of sharp teeth or a pair of demonic eyes... In small glimpses. Okay???

I BEG OF YOU!! Never again I'm — 😭😶‍🌫️

new samjess fic lets go

so, you know the whole 'jessica is secretly a hunter' tropes in supernatural fics right??

now, I raise you; Jessica is secretly an agent for the British Men of Letters to spy on Sam bc the BMOL knows about the yellow eyed demon and is scared about the possibility that demon's may be able to multiply by feeding humans their blood. Jessica is send to observe him but after 4 years, is decided he's not a risk and everything is fine.

just before jessica is pulled out, she is almost killed by the yellow-eyed demon, but her extraction team pulls her out before she can actually die, but after sam sees her on the ceiling, so he thinks she's dead.

after she recovers from the stabbing and burning, Jessica asks about Sam and is told he thinks she's dead, found the yellow eyed demon and killed him, and then went back to college and moved on with someone else. they tell her he's happy and set to be married.

that low key breaks Jessica, who was secretly in love with sam, but she recognized that she can't be with him long term anyway bc she's a british spy, and Sam is happy and in love with someone else, she can't take that away from him.

Years later, she finds out that was never the case, and he's been a hunter, and missing her all this time. hyjinks ensue when the two of them reunite under very different circumstances.
