(late) top 5 times dean cried
ok here we go!!! i wrote more than I expected lol oops
1. It HAS to be in 4x10 when Dean finally told Sam what he did in hell. I wasn't expecting it at all when I was watching bc I was thinking either that Dean would never spill it or that he didn't actually remember, like he was telling Sam up to this point. The scene is really heartbreaking and Jensen's performance was sooo good. This was the time that Jensen wasn't planning on going so hard into it but upon playing the scene he got swept up in the emotion. It feels very real and I cried a lot :( Dean can't even LOOK at sam the entire time bc he's so ashamed of himself. OUCH
2. In 1x09 "Home" when Dean calls his Dad gets #2 bc of the early impact it had. So heartily they build up Dean's hard shell and so easily they tear it down to show you that its a façade; that Dean is in pain, and very confused that his dad would desert him without a trace. Normally he can hide it well but since the case brings them back to their literal childhood home he can barely hold it in. The way he tells Sam he's going to the bathroom to COVER that he's broken down and trying to call their dad...aurghh!! I read once that season 1 Dean is like an open wound and I have not been the same since ;_;
3. I consider this 2x04 scene to be a sister scene w/ 4x10 because it's Dean breaking down on the hood of the car pulled over on the side of the road again. But this time he's facing Sammy and opening up to him about his grief 😭 YALL REMEMBER WHEN THEY GOT TO PROCESS GRIEF??? GOD
4. When he had Cas wipe Lisa and Ben's memory in 6x21 :( I personally really liked the Lisa arc and Dean tried SO HARD to make it work and I believe he genuinely loved both of them a lot, and the life they gave him. This whole season for Dean was like "wow, shit sucks" so getting his loved ones kidnapped literally 1 episode after finding out that Cas betrayed them. He's not having a good time. And then he reintroduces himself as the one who got them into a car crash!? the FUUUCK 😭 I just rewatched the scene and cried again lmao. His eyes only got kinda wet but I'm counting it, I think this is one of the times Dean should have been able to let loose and cry his eyes out.
5. From 4x21 when they're having their big blowout fight. Have you ever seen a tear so beautifully perched. lmao going back and watching these scenes 5 seasons later is like WOW this was a solid tv show... fdajkljfjd anyway
I'm sure there's more tears for me yet to discover since I'm finishing s9 today!! Here's to more crying!! lol thanks for the ask :)
put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer ok go
