You can't just say "Cass helped fix heaven" and then not have Misha Collins in this episode. Supernatural. Supernatural. Do you really expect me to believe that Jack dragged Cass out of the Empty and Dean went driving for an indeterminate amount of time by himself instead of immediately tracking down this angel. Supernatural come on.

The four panels depicting this recede into darkness, which continues for a bit, until it is interrupted by the sound effect of a snap and dissolves to show the brothers waking up on the floor of a motel room, Sam with a headache and Dean with a startled “What the-”. The full, panel-by-panel description is under the read-more.]
Happy anniversary! here’s how gabriel can still win
[Image description, panels 1-4: the last ever shots of the show, receding into darkness until it is interrupted with a snap.
Panels 5-6: the darkness fades away to show Dean bolting awake with a cut-off yell of “What the-”. He is on the wooden floor of a motel room with a dark green-and-brown interior. Sam is on the same floor, in the background to Dean’s left, propped up on one elbow and touching his forehead with a wince. “Hell...?”, continues Dean, quieter, as his hand hovers over where the rusty rebar should be sticking out of his chest, finding nothing of the sort. In the meanwhile, Sam notices that the skin on his hand looks as young as the day Dean last died.
Panel 7: the brothers turn to each other in silent disbelief.
Panel 8: a voice from off-screen draws their attention to the upper left: “A terrifying little nightmare, wasn’t it?” They face the direction, Sam with shock and Dean with a raised eyebrow.
Panel 9: the camera turns 180% degrees to reveal Gabriel, casually laid out on top of the motel room’s desk, looking down at them with a smirk. His torso’s propped up with an elbow, both legs slightly bent, one parallel and one perpendicular to the desk’s surface. The hand of the arm doing the propping up is hanging off the edge of the desk and holding a can on whipped cream, while the other hand is leaning on his raised knee. On the wall behind Gabriel is a large framed painting of many golden wings. He continues, “This is where the fuck you’d be without Cas, blah blah blah...” . The panel stretches down to include the space under the desk, a bit of the floor and the Winchesters’ legs up to the knees.
Panels 10-11: a close-up on Gabriel as he snaps his fingers and a strawberry pops into existence right over his thumb and index. He sprays a dollop of whipped cream onto it, closing one eye in concentration.
Panels 12-13: the camera moves behind Gabriel, looking over the Winchester brothers staring up at him. Leaning the hand holding the berry back onto his knee, he exclaims: “So saddle up, boys!”. The background goes out of focus as he throws the strawberry into his mouth with a flick of his wrist.
Within a half-circle-shaped panel #14, the dome of it intersected by radiating lines, he savours the taste, smiling with his eyes closed.
The camera zooms in on his face, lit up from below by bright flames he is suddenly surrounded by, eyes glowing gold. Looking down and somewhat at the viewer, he says: “We’re going to Super Hell.” End of the main description, only background details and appearances after this point.
The comic is styled to look as if drawn on dark brown craft paper. It is fully colored but completely unshaded, except for the last drawing of Gabriel surrounded by fire, which features fully rendered lighting and flames. The motel room has dark green walls and dark wooden floor and furniture; on the side of the room closest to Sam is a one-person bed, and on the side closest to Dean is a two-person. All three men are white and vaguely in their thirties-to-forties, and all three are wearing jeans in various shades of blue. Sam has dark shoulder-length hair parted in the middle and wears a dark jacket over a red plaid button-up, Dean has dark blond hair in an Ivy League-type cut and an army-green jacket over a dark T-shirt, and Gabriel has blond combed-back waves and a purple short-sleeved shirt with the top two buttons undone.

went into the last three episodes expecting to end the series and yap on tumblr and be generally crushed and then i got slaughtered and they put my dead remains through a wood chipper.
let’s get started. end spoilers under the cut.
cas died an episode before i expected him to, and i had my hands over my mouth the entire time freaking the fuck out. that was the only scene in the entire show i kept far far away from spoiling for myself, so i was reasonably unprepared for the absolutely devastating scene that played out before me. i’m gonna need to reanalyze that and read a whole bunch of fix-it’s before i can re-convince myself that dean actually loved him back. evil
FUCKING LUCIFER PRETENDING TO BE CAS AND CALLING DEAN TO LET HIM IN?? DESPICABLY EVIL
we are completely void of topics regarding cas, jack seems like the only one affected until they figure out god and he heads off to better brighter things never to be seen again. evil
the last episode, everyone seems fine, but the entire vibe was just so so off, for which i will cast the blame onto jared and jensen and all the others, because i mean it’s the last episode on a 15 year project. the end. no more. so it’s completely reasonable they’re out of wack. but why is dean so uppity? this is not entirely credited to a secretly very sad jensen, as dean is just making corny ass jokes left and right, which usually i love him for, love myself a silly man, but why can’t they grieve? sam brings it up and dean just absolutely shuts him down. which technically i know could be attributed to dean shoving it down into his “do not open” repressed trauma box, but still, at least some struggle would be nice. evil
heaven, actively grieving the loss of the roadhouse, and honestly the ending just felt hopeless for me. like it’s all over and there’s nothing we can change. mainly just because it was kinda boring. it felt like we were avoiding something, with dean just driving along and sam growing old. i felt like there was some key component missing. but hey we hinted at cas somehow not being in super mega hell so 1 point for the cas likers ig, light shining through the dark and all. still evil
the “supernatural was made possible through viewers like you” speech, panning into the everyone ever, that was really unfortunate. heartbreaking. evil
all and all, i’m a hater. because it’s two in the morning and i’m done with a series i’ve been consistently watching with my parents since october. and it ended with everyone dead and seperated. screw this. i’ll be reading fix-its until i cry myself to sleep tonight. love yall ☹️
Let it be known that today, almost 9 years after I discovered the show, I have finally finished watching Supernatural. I was 15 when I started…and now I’m 23. I’ve lived three lives since then but SPN stayed the same. What a ride, boys. Here’s to my rewatch 🥂🥂🥂
