been relistening to TAZ Balance lately, because d&d is one of the few things keeping me sane these days, and had to take a break from the final episode because I nearly started sobbing while making dinner

because Griffin asks Travis, “How does Magnus die?”

what follows is a beautiful, heart-wrenching scene on its own. but what I want to highlight is Travis’ response to that question. because he pauses and says, “you know, if you’d asked me that a while ago, I probably would have said he died epically, in a battle or something.” Travis then goes on to talk about how his attitude towards Magnus’ hypothetical death has shifted a lot because of all the trials and heartache and triumphs and pain that Magnus has gone through, and how close Travis is to Magnus as a character. he ends with “I think Magnus dies peacefully of old age.” and Griffin gives him that, and it’s wonderful and sad and cathartic. Magnus dies of old age, surrounded by his friends, his found family. 

but what made me lose it was how closely this parallels with Dean, and Jensen’s attitudes towards Dean as a character, and how truly wrong Dean’s ending was, ultimately. and I know this has been talked about to death already, by people smarter and more eloquent than me, but it’s so clear that Jensen, like Travis, grew from envisioning Dean dying in a blaze of glory, to wanting Dean to be able to enjoy the reward of a well-earned life. and ultimately, Jensen was right, because Dean had, in the words of Cas, “fought for this whole world,” but then wasn’t allowed to actually live in it, which was what he deserved. the “reward” of Heaven doesn’t work for Dean, because he was never fighting to go there. he only fought to live, to be free. and he had that stripped away from him at the last moment. it’s not even tragic; it’s simply just cruel

Griffin was a smart and compassionate DM, and he listened to his brother’s thoughts on his character, because his brother knew Magnus more deeply than anyone else and would contribute to a satisfying ending. the network would have done well to do the same with Jensen “deankin” Ackles
