Dean/Cas + thank you

You know that vision of the STRONG, shirtless, winged-up Cas + Dean saying “Cas...thank you....” at extreme (intimate) close range?

This one, from the 12x19 The Future (Production Draft):

TRANSCRIPT: CASTIEL. Shirtless. Standing against a wall, as his WINGS FLARE. But they're not broken anymore, they're full-- and majestic. Then-- DEAN, in tight close up. A look of relief-- of happiness on his face-- DEAN: Cas-- thank you.

What if ALL THIS...it was 100% a result of Thank you by Led Zeppelin being on that goddamned mixtape?

///

No to mention, this bit is incredible, too:

We got lines from Cas in 12x19 about not wanting to cause Dean DISTRESS and needing a WIN. Then, in the vision, there was this scene that represents all of that. In the deepest part of Cas, he desires Dean's happiness & peacefulness. For himself, he longs to be strong enough to protect him and be appreciated as angelic protector.

Cas's WIN for Dean -> relief, happiness, appreciation; and for himself -> full-strength, powerful, competence, capability

Castiel: Well, I didn't mean to add to your distress. I – Dean, I just keep failing. Again and again. When you were taken, I searched for months and I couldn't find you. And then Kelly escaped on my watch, and I couldn't find her. And I just wanted I needed to come back here with a win for you. For myself.

The vision is intimate: it's Dean feeling happiness but also relief. And RELIEF is:

the feeling of reassurance and relaxation following release from anxiety or distress.

Incredible.

deans reaches the church a minute too late. its in flames and hes helpless in watching his brother burn. when the fire dies down a few hours after, we see the charred remains of crowley, and the- miraculously- completely intact corpse of sam winchester.

#spn #supernatural #sam winchester #the imagery of dean dropping to his knees in front of the church on fire while angels fall from the sky btw. if u even care. #obsessseddddd w the idea of sam and sainthood. the idea that hes achieved what hes wanted. #the idea that bc of it he'll never be allowed to rot. #or -alternatively to saint sam- sam reaching a semi-angelic staus? he has grace and can heal and do other shit #and hes protected by angels. first we think it means hes protected from death by lucifer. another fkd up way of sam being tied to lucifer #but later we realise cas is his protector. and we get to see more of cas working behind the scenes to keep the winchesters safe #and also cas wed get to see sam and cas' relationship develop a little more bc ofc we do #ALSOOO sams body being completely intact and looking like hes not even dead would do terrible things to deans mental health yay

[pierswife]

your taste gives me the vibes that you want a friend, first. you want a friend in this relationship. someone to listen to you, to laugh with you, to stay up late giggling and talking when you should go to bed. someone not threatening, btu will keep you safe from harm and danger. a gentle protector, who will look at you with a smile on their face.

Felix I'll cry???? I'll fucking cry???

But honestly? You are so right. For me it's like... Friendship is just SUCH an important part to any relationship to me. It's like a building block, in a sense. Like yeah, sure, you can have that out of a regular relationship too, but for me it isn't just the typical "of course you need to be friends first" kind of thing. I need that strong basis of friendship. And like honestly? Yeah I crave someone who will protect me who I can turn to to keep me safe and grounded.

#for this description piers and biggs are VERY much up there #also a little bit of cas too especially the protector with a smile part (even if he might not be the most gentle fdhjfg) #oh and kaeya!!!! he's up there too!!! AND MOMO LET ME NOT FORGET ABOUT MY GIRL-- #big bro felix!

no thoughts for act 3 Trystan and Jurian rivalry except Trystan Hawke with the blood smear over his face and Jurian Amell with a faded scar across the bridge of his nose. smth smth Trystan’s violence becoming the forefront of the narrative and the desirable feature attributed to Jurian (beauty) being marred. Let’s go actually

#I think that uhhh #they’re not narrative foils #they’ve just got different ways of coping #Trystan is angry #the reckless protector #and Jurian is willing to sell himself out #anything to make it to the next day #hmm hm hm #I chew on them #not sure abt Jurian’s presence in act 3 yet #dragon age #dragon age 3 #Trystan hawke #jurian amell #Trystan meta #jurian meta #Cas meta

She made sure no one can respond to that tweet cause she know she was talking outta her ass.

Wanting your character to be queer, working to ensure Cas explicitly says so, saying "you're not crazy" cause you know what the show's powers are doing. Like Cas queerness is real regardless of spn not making deancas explicit. They need to take that up with SPN, but they won't. They want to hate the ONE person from the show who actually advocated for their character's queerness to be canon.

#my bi/pan ass was happy to see cas come out #that was so important for *me* #anyways misha will always be protector of queer cas no matter the haters #castiel #spn

Normalization of deviance as a concept

#how Dean is horrified when cas tortured in early seasons but barely puts up a fuss about Donatello and torturing in apocalypse world #how we see Alastair as evil but barely bat an eye at Crowley for killing his loyal demons in season 10 because distracted by the innuendo #when Lucifer kills demons and angels we see it wholesale as evil #but not when Crowley or Rowena do #Rowena slit the throat of her surrogate child Oskar #but we screams and cry when Dean points a gun at jack #the real reason Dean and Sam are friends with Crowley and Rowena later is because they are in a state of total decay #Sam in early seasons saying we’re supposed to struggle #vs later season demons always lie #when cas tortured we still see him as good because it’s different when cas does it he’s our protector father #when cas went to war it was good fatherly even you know his decisions were just #is murdering and torture ever just?

7 ways to attract a protector

Fic idea where Rowena talks very loudly about what she used to be attracted to, from Crowley's cruel father to Lucifer ("so Alpha") to attack dogs / bodyguards to her new outlook on life and ideal protector: Castiel.

Mostly, she's trying to get a rise out of Dean, but she's also a little bit wistful and a little bit serious.

Fuck, guys. I can't stop looking.

Just look at the state of the kitchen in Absence. The kitchen is supposed to be where the love is stored, and it's rusted. If Baby's state is a window into Dean's personal psyche, the kitchen is a window into his family life.

Dean feels like Cas let the kitchen die and fall into disrepair, the same way his doppelganger shouted about John, "All that crap he dumped on me about protecting [the kid], that was his crap. He's the one that couldn't protect his family!" (“He- he’s the one who let mom die!”)

Cas vacated the head-of-table chair when he went lone wolf to solve the problem on his own, so then Dean broke it. It's, "I was here, where were you?" all over again. And Cas was supposed to succeed as a husband in all the ways John failed as a father.

Sometimes, no one can protect you. Not your dad, not your spouse...but you still hold onto that expectation. They could at least be there for you.

Dean Winchester & hug dynamic analysis

I was thinking about how whenever Dean hugs someone he's almost always the one hugging the other and how this links to his psychological trauma of always being the caretaker of people, making himself bigger to protect them.

Because that's how Dean sees himself, as a shield for others, and then I thought about how Cas actually is the shield, and he's HIS SHIELD, specifically, the only one who's really there to protect HIM, which is why it hits so much when we see this:

The way Cas wraps his arms around him, trying to protect him with his whole body--that he'd use as a shield and give up in a second if he could spare him from any pain and save him.

(for context: Dean was about to go use the soul bomb on Amara there, it was a suicide mission)

Bobby is another one that hits, he hugs him as the big hugger because he's his father, he loves him and he's actually here to protect him (and Dean LETS him -barely, but he lets him *and Cas* - in a way that he doesn't let Sam)

I watched a compilation of Sam & Dean hugs to check if i was right about it, but it's almost always Dean the big hugger with Sam, except when he's about to die or Sam sees him alive again after losing him.

Even then, Dean mostly tries to hug Sam as the big hugger anyway, with at least one arm, like a way to comfort him, making him feel protected, like his body language is saying "I'm here, I'm okay, I'm still strong, i can still protect you" (because their real father failed and Dean thinks it's his job).

He rarely lets himself be the little one hugged with Sam, unless he's barely conscious. Which is why it kills me so much more now that in this moment (s14, when Dean was going to lock himself in the Ma'lak box cause he was possessed by Michael) and Sam has a desperate breakdown and punches him (to stop him) he forcefully hugs him as the little hugger, the way Dean always kept him, like a way of saying "I still need you to protect me, please don't do this to yourself".

In the scene below he gives Sam his blessing to do a dangerous (possibly suicidal) mission, and one of his arms is down, but the other one tries to stay up--he's forcing himself to do it and he struggles because he still wants to protect him, but (as the seasons progress) he slowly becomes more prone to let go.

So in this view the hug dynamic becomes an indicator of how Dean sees Sam (and himself) and his protector role, how adult and self sufficient he considers Sam, and how much he lets people around him take care of him, lowering his walls and letting himself be hugged.

This is also why i think hugs from characters like Garth or Charlie are so special, because they're just like us: they see Dean and they just know that he needs to be hugged a lot, and that he's not used to it, so they just go for it-- and it's so normal and kind and spontaneous that Dean's just not used to it-- he doesn't know how to respond (especially with Garth, at the beginning, but as the seasons progress, he learns to, and he even initiates the hug eventually).

I love the hugs where they're 50/50 (one arm up, one arm down both), feels like they're equals, both taking care of each other. I feel like with Sam and Dean, this indicates a healthier dynamic, because Dean lets go a little of the role that was imposed to him and manages to see Sam as the strong individual that he is. But the same applies to 50/50 hugs with other characters, like with Cas, where I feel like it testifies how equals they feel in terms of being fighters, there's a show of respect of each other's strength that transpires by the gesture (which is even more astounding considering that Cas is literally a powerful angel).

And just to end on a destiel note, I'd like to note the possessiveness and protectiveness of Dean (rightfully so) whenever he finds Cas after he thought he had lost him, and how that translates into his body/hug language:

Dean was always the protector. Since age of 4. He felt it was his job. His responsibility. He felt the whole world was on his shoulders. And then Cas came into his life and was like: I'll protect you. And I want nothing in return. Because you, Dean Winchester, are my whole world.

[ananke-xiii]

Mary's "angels are watching over you" is a great line that makes full use of dramatic irony. We, the audience, know that having angels "watching over" you is NOT a good thing. So from our perspective "watching over" takes the meaning of "keeping under survellaince" and it's not pretty: it reminds us that angels are soldiers, they have a plan and a war to win. However, Mary doesn't know that when she says it, for her "watching over" means "protecting, taking care" and it's associated with the image of angels as guardians and protectors. What's even better is the fact tha later in the series, the show will strongly associate the "watching over" part with Castiel. And honestly? It works SO well 'cause the dramatic irony still works. Cas still doesn't incarnate the preconcevied notion of "guardian angel" and, at the same time, he stil sees himself as a solider. He shapes his own way of caring and protecting in a military fashion rather than a family-oriented one. It's not a "I'm here for you", more like "I'll go to battle so you won't have to". And this basically sums up the BIG issue he has in his relationship with Dean but that's for another story. Anyway, I'm just so fascinated with some lines in this show, I'll take the good ones when I can, lol!
