have you got any quotes abt mercy from Supernatural? there's a line im vaguely remembering, there's a screencap of dean with the captions on, something abt mercy being the last or worst thing that a man would want or have happen to him. something like that! like, to a man punishment could be a relief.

Hi there! the one I think you’re referencing is from 10.02, regarding Demon Dean’s fight with Cole. After Sam has Dean in the car driving him back to the bunker they have this exchange:

Sam: You know what Dean. I saw what happened back there, you could have killed that guy and you didn't, you took mercy on him. Dean: You call that mercy? Imagine you spend your whole life hunting down the guy that knifed your father. When you finally find him, he whips you like a dog -- how do you think that feels? That kid is going to spend his whole life knowing that he had his shot and that he could't beat me, that ain't mercy. That's the worst thing I could have done to him. And what I'm gonna do to you Sammy, well that ain't gonna be mercy either.

There’s also a similar situation, but not quite exactly the same, with Dean interrogating Gadreel in 9.18. Gadreel resorts to simply insulting Dean, attempting to push him into killing him. Remember Gadreel has spent almost the entire history of the universe wrongfully imprisoned and tortured, and he’d literally rather die then endure that again:

GADREEL: I have been in your brother's body, Dean. He would not trade his life for yours.

DEAN: Well, thanks for the rerun, pal. Sam's already told me all that crap. Hell, he's told me worse.

GADREEL: He told you that he has always felt that way, [DEAN stares blankly at him] that he thinks you are just a scared little boy who's afraid to be on his own because daddy never loved him enough? And he is right, isn't he? Right to think you are a coward, a sad, clingy, needy...

[DEAN's fist crashed into GADREEL's face and his mouth bleeds profusely]

DEAN: Keep it up!

GADREEL: Pathetic bottom-feeder who cannot even take care of himself, who would rather drag everyone through the mud than be alone, who would let everyone around him die!

[DEAN can't take it anymore and swings his angel blade to stap GADREEL in the chest. But just before he reaches him, he notices GADREEL has his eyes close waiting for the death strike. DEAN stops in an instant]

GADREEL [opens his eyes in a panic] No. Do it. Do it! Kill me!

DEAN [icily] Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you? That's what that whole speech was about? You're not afraid to die, are you? You're afraid to be left in these chains forever. Well, you can sit here and rot, you son of bitch.

So the mercy here would’ve been killing Gadreel, but Dean... doesn’t. They need him to talk, and he won’t, but Dean can’t and won’t give him the mercy he’s seeking.

The show has played with these themes quite a bit in that era.
