“They're so cute. For different reasons. They're a good balance for each other. And Dean's hot.” —My mother, on Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural.

[drfrankensteinvsthequeerborgs]

“This obsession to save Dean? The way you two keep sacrificing yourselves for each other? Nothing good comes out of it.”

I feel like sometimes Sam and Dean get the BoJack Horseman/Holden Caulfield treatment where we forget that they’re supposed to be antiheroes not vindications of shitty behaviour, like the show has been screaming for 15 years that their dynamic is literally destroying the multiverse and maybe that’s a bad thing, I mean don’t get me wrong I love my problematic children and want them to be happy and healthy but the real horror the entire time has been the lengths these two will go to for each other and ultimately only each other, the toxicity of their success for everyone else is the point, that’s what makes it a literal tragedy. (and of course the real horror behind that is that it’s not even their fault because every time they try to be better people or heal without each other Chuck compels them to not, which is also a hallmark of literal tragedy, I hate it here)

[random-fireworks]

Supernatural really did that

Writing this post hurt so much.

The domestic montage that we’ve I’ve been craving for for years

For years, years, I have been asking for the Winchesters doing their laundry and we just got a whole adorable montage of domesticity 

Soft Dean waking up and cuddling Miracle (uwu)

tHE BREAKFAST???? “It’s hot” and Dean burning himself when taking the toast anyway?? It’s such a rom com scene and I am here for it.

Dean mouthing the words as he reads on the laptop 

Soft HAPPY Dean at the pie festival 

Dean calling Sam’s expression “sad Sam face” (he knows his little brother so well and I love when we get a glimpse of that)

Dean getting pied

Basically this whole first part where we get to see the boys being happy and domestic

Dad’s journal!!!

Sam is so fucking soft for his brother when he says “Vamp-mimes” and honestly who wouldn’t be???

Psycho Winchesters about to torture the vampire (‘See, we’re the ones you should be afraid of’ flashbacks)

I can’t believe we got both soft domestic Winchester and psycho serial killers Winchester vibes in the same episode, this is Jack’s work

Soft Dean with his ninja stars awwww

Not talking about that scene, nope.

Okay, here we go anyway.

The whole dialogue. (just. kill me.)

Jared and Jensen in this scene delivered the best acting I’ve ever seen on television. 

s o f t  d e a n 

“Can you stay with me please” (man I was already sobbing when he said that)

Dean is so proud of his little brother, it’s his greatest accomplishment and I’m just. Dead. :)))

Dean saying “saving people, hunting things, it’s what we do” and not adding ‘the family business’ because it’s not about the family anymore, it’s about him and Sam only

Dean’s smile when he says “it’s okay, it’s good” because hejfszkzd and his brother is there i’mqs kdjdhdslhqd

“We had one hell of a ride, man.”

“Yeah, there he is” There he is, my everything.

How the music goes so soft when Dean starts to talk about the night he came for Sam

The music was so good and beautifully completed the scene. Thank you Jay Gruska.

The way Dean says “The woman in white, that’s right.” fuCK ME. All that nostalgia. The happy and the sad feelings, god, I am tearing up just thinking about it.

I’ll never get over Dean waiting for hours in front of Sam’s door.  1. That’s straight from a fic (not complaining) but 2. It’s actually so coherent with Dean’s character in season 1??? Continuity, we love to see it.

“It was always you, and me. It’s always been you.....and me.” 

Pilot parallels as if I still had enough tears left to cry without risking dehydration

“I love you so much. My baby brother.” And validating all our ‘baby brother’ lines in our fics (THANK YOU, I KNEW IT)

Dean being the one to leave this time and asking permission to

But also “I’m not leaving you” skqbdqbk

Jensen Ackles deserves all the awards possible for this scene. How you could see the pain but also the pride, the peace of mind and the love in his eyes. 

Fucking caressing hands 

Dean is fucking dying and he still moves his head slightly so he can lean on Sam’s forehead. JHQFDKSHDJS. 

Sam wearing Dean’s hoodie :((

I can’t even. Jared’s performance? Never seen anything like it. God, that was heartbreaking. 

And Brother in arms????? aRE THEY TRYING TO KILL ME?

The fucking single toast fucking broke me :))))

SOFT DEAN in Heaven 

“Almost perfect.” Dean is supposed to be at peace because he’s in literal heaven but still misses Sam AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH (it’s about the longing)

Also, Bobby been knew. Can’t fool him.

Dean being like, ‘Ah, I’ll just go for a ride and wait for Sam :)’ Look at my codependent boys even in Heaven, what the fuck, we love them for it

BABY. KAZ 2Y5.

How the montage showed how Dean is still very present and a focal point in Sam’s life. The only other character we see is a Dean and Sam is only living because Dean would have wanted him to (it’s the codependency)

Sam raising Dean Jr seemingly mostly on his own just like Dean raised him 

Okay so Sam sitting in the Impala and crying made me lose it like-

Sam wearing Dean’s watch :(

Dean knowing when to stop and sensing Sam behind him azjhjdzahjzadjzbdz FUCKING SOULMATES

Dean grinning so hard when he feels Sam behind him and then trying to play it cool ayqshudldzfhjf

Obviously the Pilot clothes and me bawling like a baby even though I knew it would happen 

“Heya Sammy” (Dean saying this always makes me so fucking soft but this time I was like...a soft weeping mess)

Dean glancing at Sam’s clothes and the big smile that follows

That hug. This freaking hug. Dean hasn’t seen Sam in like an hour and he gives him a hug that is so fucking tight.

And Dean does not let go of Sam

Dean looking at Sam like he is the most precious thing he has ever laid his eyes on, because he is

Did I mention how much Soft Dean we got in this episode?

It was literally an episode about the codependency of the brothers

[tvxcue]

im thinking abt how dean doesn’t believe he’s loved unless he’s stifled by it and sam feels like love is stifling and how that informs their relationship. like dean knows what he would do for his family and the people he cares about and because that’s the only way he knows to feel love he thinks everyone who cares about him has to do the same things or they don’t love him. that’s why whenever dean says “you would have done the same thing” about gadreel and sam says “no i wouldnt,” he’s so taken aback and he feels betrayed. dean lashes out at mary for needing to leave because all his life it was drilled into him that the only way to show you care is by tying yourself to the people you love. if they don’t want to tethered to you, they don’t love you. so mary and sam needing space is a betrayal. if they don’t want to literally envelop dean in themselves, if they don’t want to control him, they must not care.

for sam love is an ultimatum. it’s love or loneliness, family or independence, cage or freedom. he has to do what his father says, he has to do what his brother says because they “know what’s best” and they’re always the ones with all the information. he doesn’t even know the person he’s supposed to be living his for, doesn’t have a memory, he just knows he’s obligated to her because of love, because she’s family, she tethers them to each other through their grief. but he can’t even access that grief. he, john, and dean are all part of this bubble that he can’t seem to get out of, but more than that sam specifically is cut off from them by this wall of memory, of love, that he just never had the chance to have. dean and john are enveloped by this experience of loss that just pushes sam against the edges of their enclosure but doesn’t give him a way out. so he’s trapped there, smothered and alone.

and so dean’s version of love is the exertion of control, he has to bring sam closer to him and make sure he doesn’t leave, makes sure he’s constantly accounted for and doing as he should. but sam’s love is letting go, it’s leaving and letting dean leave too. and the thing with them specifically is that there is no way for sam to be able to ever reciprocate the type of love dean recognizes because dean’s need to control is even bigger than his desire to be loved. so when sam tries to do something to keep dean tied to him, dean rejects it, he rejects sam removing the mark of cain, he rejects sam trying to get him out of his deal for a long time, he rejects sam during “faith,” because the way dean sees their dynamic, sam is in a box that dean keeps attached to himself and sam is not supposed to leave that box. if dean lets him go, sam stays and so when sam reaches back that means he’s escaping the box that dean can keep him safe in and that’s not allowed.

I think Sam’s heaven is mostly Dean.
