Another deanism I have been collecting, the mouth swipe;

Saw this on Pinterest. Had to share

watching 13x08 has made me realise that one of the things that truly does not sit right with me is how the later seasons of spn lean heavily into the whole "sam is the brains, dean is the brawn" thing. they became so quick to dismiss the fact that dean is crazy intelligent. maybe not booksmart like sam, but definitely not some hulking idiot who only knows how to punch shit. he's nifty with gadgets (e.g., building his own emf reader in s1) and knows every inch of pop culture (re: 9 times out of 10 a reference made in the show is from him), and also the actual supernatural itself, all the classic monsters etc. he's one of the best hunters in the world for a reason.

a lot of early season spn was really good at showing that dean was the one projecting this version of himself, what with him making a lot of comments about/implying sam being the "brains". it was so insanely interesting to be able to dive even deeper into his psyche and his struggle with (or really lack of) self-worth; but that discrepancy seems to have been totally lost post-kripke era. now it seems like the show actually believes that schtick and only occasionally remembers that dean has a good head on his shoulders. so often in eps he's just used as a battering ram and an excuse to shove some violence in the middle of a climax; or even worse he's made to actively seem stupid - e.g., the running gag of him struggling with modern tech, which doesn't make sense to me given we KNOW he's tech-savvy enough to build his own electronics.

it! doesn't! make! any! fucking! sense!

obviously the trauma dean suffered throughout the seasons changed a lot of parts about his character. i'm not denying that. a lot of dean's characterisation as he grows older makes sense to me. it's merely that the dumbification of him... doesn't. if anything, i'd argue that it would've been more narratively coherent for him to actively pursue more knowledge in order to make sense of everything he's been through. yes he's angry, but he could've been even angrier if the writers gave him a chance to be the "brains", too. dean is stupidly stubborn. he's not stubbornly stupid.

"shag ass" is always hysterical to me. i know it's a real phrase people say but it's sooo dean winchester nonsense words. 2 me

[callistosam]

i think about this line a lot because 1) he says this like we are going to see a change in how he fundamentally views himself in relation to sam but generally he has the same expectations for sam that he's always had (if anything he's doubled down on them & uses purgatory as his justification for harm) and 2) i genuinely love that dean uses the phrase 'bully for you'. it makes me really happy to just look at, it is Such a dean phrase to me

[gay-mooshrooms]

i know its been said but it will never remain hysterical that for all the "masculine" traits they gave dean they just completely missed sports

like not only did he never really play them he doesn't even WATCH them

he likes soap operas and telenovelas and shitty medical dramas

you know he'd go crazy for something like real housewives

dean's hand writing isn't the best and it isn't the worst. he does his best to make it readable because he needs to be able to refer back to case notes. he also makes an effort for it to be neat enough when he transfers details into his hunting journal. yes, dean still manually writes his journal out because he thinks having a "manual backup" is smart. technology can fail but books/journals have been around forever.

y'all what if instead of the whole like John coming back in the 300th episode for like a family reunion...

What if Dean wanted John back so he could punch him in the face??? To scream at him until the bunker walls shook with his voice (which is impossible, but you get the point)???

Maybe Sam could get in on it too, just for funsies.
