Season 6 summarized

[cecillustrates]

"Sting"

Ayyyyy it’s been a while...have to deal with work and stuff since I’ve just got a new job, and today finally can take a break and finish this piece bc of that Typhoon Mangosteen™ Also since human face is a bit too much right after a loooong hiatus, please take this Sam instead. p.s. Stay safe if you are in a typhoon/hurricane-affected area, take care!

[gayceekaycee]

I really wanna know what Sam’s robot room is like. Has she said anything? Is she allowed to?

Is she just in a room by herself that has a door where production slides food in once and awhile?

I am rewatching Supernatural (thanks TNT), but I love the fact that Bobby just told Dean he’s his favorite. I’m on season six, the episode where people are telling the truth compulsively.

That just cracked me up, not hard to tell though. Also, RoboSam... ugh.

supernatural s6e13 unforgiven (w. andrew dabb, daniel loflin)

flashback soulless!sam is just beating the shit out of this cop. grandpa. really. just gonna let that go too huh

(looks like the black desktop background is here to stay)

he looks so young in his silly little suit and bright lighting with his new(er) hair. and yes the little joke about how tall sam was endearing

DEAN And how would you... characterize their relationship?

NICOLE'S ROOMMATE Relationship? No, they weren't having a --

DEAN just the -- the -- the tone or the nature of their conversation.

NICOLE'S ROOMMATE Well... loud. And... athletic.

he went on a little face journey there

here i thought i'd seen the last of the guys having problems with the law, that particular variety of conflict stresses me out. and this time, robosam really fucked up and now our sam has to deal with it? agh

i've been reading this fic that focuses a lot more on kind of lingering effects of trauma that the guys have been through and just now watching sam have this very impassioned conversation with the lady that leads to her unlocking the cell he's in, got me thinking about like. changing gears so quickly from robosam to regular sam, i'm watching him waiting for the con. and i wonder if dean would catch himself having similar thoughts

so soulless managed to bang 5 ladies in this little town on a job. that seems... logistically challenging

(robo)SAM Well, Samuel wasn't really around when I was a kid. We have more of a, uh, business relationship.

BRENNA Uh, do you have any other family?

(robo)SAM Family just slows you down.

he was sweating after that flashback. i mean, objectively terrifying having sudden intrusive memories of an event you don't remember and with yourself being so cold and cruel.

(wiki) Sam and Samuel use the aliases "Roark and Wynand." Sam's alias (H. Roark) is a reference to the main character—Howard Roark—in Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead which embodied the philosophy of objectivism, where individual self-interest was held as the purpose of one's life (and so it is interesting that this is associated with soulless Sam). Samuel's alias Wynand refers to Gail Wynand, another character in the book.

oh my god that's hilarious. it is ~interesting~ supernaturalwiki 😂

i adjusted the lighting on this because it was so dark and the quality is laughable but anyway again squatting in a place with power and a janky lampshade. i liked dean's plaid, in this shot it looks more like black and white plaid which is a little bold for him (but it's more of a subdued blue in better light)

DEAN We are not the only hunters on the planet, okay? We can call Bobby. He and Rufus could come and wrap up.

he makes a good point. give bobby and rufus some quality time together

DEAN Really? You get that every time you scratch that wall, that you are playing Russian roulette?

SAM Dean, I get you're worried, okay? And I know what you think is gonna happen. But you know what? It will or it won't.

i get where dean is coming from but also sam makes a good point that it's gonna happen or not.

DEAN Sam --

SAM --look, I'm starting to think that -- that I might have done some bad stuff here, Dean. And so I don't care if it's dangerous. I have to set things right, 'cause I got a frigging soul now, and -- and it won't let me just walk away. I'm staying here. And I need you to back me

DEAN All right. Why not? Well, let's "memento" this thing, shall we?

(two memento references in as many episodes)

oh the flashbacks got even worse. using this dude as bait for the monster, which clearly went above bait to just plain food. oh, and "mercy" killing them. right. GREAT.

giggling over these weird contacts. it wasn't until after i'd been staring at them entranced for this entire speech that i realized they're probably supposed to be like. another pupil? cuz he's a spider lol 🕷️🕷️🕷️

so he's upset she ignored his sorry and went inside but i was just thinking to myself, well you got her husband killed (again) and kind of killed him (again), it's unforgivable. and then i remembered the episode title. ha ha. queuing up the unforgiven by metallica (love that album, and they totally played this at a middle school dance i attended)

did you sleep on that gross ass bed, samuel winchester

DEAN Sam, you got to understand that all that crap last year -- all of it -- none of it was you.

SAM Let's be crystal clear, okay? It was me.

DEAN Well, can I get you anything?

SAM What are you now, my waitress?

DEAN I'm just trying to make you feel better. Don't be a bitch.

SAM Yeah, I'm fine.

DEAN Yeah, you look fine. All I'm saying is everything's gonna be okay.

SAM I don't know, Dean. If I did this here, then who knows how many oth-

didn't know he was gonna have hell creep in so soon. so i guess they were like well when dean went to hell it was 40 years and we had to make it even worse by breaking his will and him enjoying torturing people. so, how can we make this even worse for sam... hmmm. not only does he get the multiplied years of torture (from what i gleaned it was a lot longer too?) but a bonus year of being a monster topside where he can suffer for feeling guilty about getting people killed etc etc. sam is totally going to win the trauma olympics

supernatural s6e11 appointment in samarra (w. sera gamble, robert singer)

reminds me a bit of where julia went to get medical/god related problem fixed in the magicians (sera gamble showrunner)

the magicians s2e7 plan b

is dean gonna try to make an appointment with big d death by temporarily killing himself

DEATH Sam's soul or Adam's.

DEAN But --

DEATH As a rule, I don't bring people back. I might make an exception once, not twice. So...Pick.

eyeroll. frankly forgot adam was there too, and felt like the show did too. but hey opportunity for dean to have to make a completely inevitable but guilt inducing choice for sam, you know they can't pass that up.

DEATH She's right. Nothing lasts forever. Well, I do, but...

*rimshot*

so pretty

DEATH I want you to be me for one day.

all right i mean, i mentioned this in the last one too, but sam is understandably pissed what with dean going behind his back to work a deal with death for his soul, essentially a medical decision. we're so far afield from reality, but thinking about it from a disability justice standpoint.

anyway. i liked death got up in dean's face to remind him that he's.... death.

TESSA Wow. They'll just let any slack-jawed haircut be Death these days.

lol what a random insult. dean and his generic hair (of which i pretty much have the same haircut at the moment)

oh what is robosam up to now. i don't even remember what the beef was with balthazar. rereading the summary, i must have been really out of it trying to watch that episode.

BALTHAZAR Well. The plot thickens. Where's your soul, Sam? Good God, no. It's not still...It is.

SAM My brother found a way to put it back in me. I don't want it.

BALTHAZAR No, you don't. No, no, 'cause Michael and Lucy are hate-banging it as we speak.

sigh. (it's a metaphor and that's that)

i suppose this (going after bobby) is supposed help us remember that soulless!sam isn't just harmless and fun and helpful like they have been selling so nicely the past few episodes.

obviously we were gonna have to kill a kid in his rounds. but i do not understand this whole, i'm putting my foot down thing. because isn't that breaking the rules and that means no soul for sam??

dean is shockingly bad at following the rules here. like. what. was the point of this. getting sam's soul was not enough motivation to suck it up?

here we go again (goin down the only road we've ever known)

i see. gotta teach dean a lesson, that you can tie into sort of consequences of them dying/not dying on the regular.

DEATH I wouldn't do it for you. You and your brother keep coming back. You're an affront to the balance of the universe, and you cause disruption on a global scale.

DEAN I apologize for that.

DEATH But you have use. Right now, you're digging at something. The intrepid Detective. I want you to keep digging, Dean.

hmm.

also, make it seem less horrible that they're forcing the soul into him against his will if he's willing to straight up murder bobby to keep it out. he's not able to make rational decisions, don't need consent now!

i get it. but also :p

jackles and julian richings work really well together (though i think julian is doing the heavy lifting). good conversations. and it's nice they're fleshing out death's character some

DEATH It might feel a little… itchy. Do me a favor, don't scratch the wall. Trust me, you're not gonna like what happens.

that's so funny, when i read in fic he was scratching at the wall, i didn't expect it to be described as exactly that.

ok then. next episode ought to be interesting

(wiki)

Tessa: Just so you know, when people die they might have questions for you. Well, you know, not you, but Death.

Dean: You mean like, how did Betty White outlast me? Betty White was an American actress, animal rights activist, author, comedian, radio host, singer, and television personality born in 1922. She passed away in 2021, ironically outlasting Dean Winchester himself.

NO. bad wiki
