kids growing up way too fast both literally (Emma, Amara, Jack) and metaphorically (Sam and Dean, Claire, Krissy) is one of the major themes of SPN, it just keeps coming back, we're swimming in nickels

Just a normal father-son dynamic in the Winchester family
Chuck: “You guys aren’t supposed to be here. You’re not in this story.”
Cas: “Yeah well, we’re making it up as we go.”
look at his face, this is the exact moment Dean falls in love with Cas

Second image is a screenshot of TV Tropes, text reads: "Kelly Sue DeConnick's Sexy Lamp Test: Hinges on whether or not a female character can be replaced with a sexy novelty lamp without significantly changing the story." The third image is also a black and white gif from the same scene with Dean dipping the lamp amorously End ID]
honestly for me one of the scariest things about Supernatural is the seeming inevitability of the cycle of violence, John knows this is an appalling way to raise a child but he does it anyway, Sam gets away for a few years only to return loving the job, Dean does to Jack the same things John did to him. and a sizable chunk of that is Chuck forcing them to become the worst versions of themselves but it’s terrifying how they can end up being the very thing they swore never to become
MIDAM DINER DATE THIS IS NOT A DRILL
also the ending where Dean doesn't pick up Sam's call is so important because it's one of the few times in his entire life he doesn't drop everything for Sam, like he knows Sam's call is pretty damn urgent, but what just happened broke him beyond even his deepest programming, like this isn't Single Manly Tear territory he is full-on breaking down sobbing while his baby's essentially crying in the other room and for once he can't just pull himself together and pretend he's fine
