#dean would've been like

[drulalovescas]

I fucking hate when we say Dean would've never given up on that rusty rebar if Cas was alive, he'd keep fighting, and are being called delusional shippers because it's a fact that has NOTHING TO DO WITH SHIPPING!!! You don't have to believe Dean and Cas were madly in love (even tho they were duh) to know Cas had always been Dean's hope and faith. You can LITERALLY SEE IT ONSCREEN throughout those 12 seasons. Every time Dean loses Cas he also completely loses hope and his will to live. Cas was an angel that pulled him out of Hell. That looked him straight in the eye and said you matter, you deserve to be saved. That saw through all his facades, saw the good and the ugly and NEVER judged Dean for the ugly. Dean had such a shitty self-esteem but the sense of "I must be worth at least something if an angel of the Lord bothered to save me from the Pit" must have lingered at the back of his head (even if at times he refused to believe it). So yeah, Dean's it's okay I'm ready to die in that atrocious finale is directly connected to him losing Cas permanently. And seeing and acknowledging that has zero to do with shipping.

#had cas been alive (even if human) #dean would've been like #sammeh get me the fuck off that rebar and call the ambulance i gotta live #sorry for my rumblings but this has been on my mind for some time pissing me off lol #destiel #castiel #dean winchester

I just think if the Big Showdown in 15x19 included Dean, not only wearing the bloodied jacket but also placing his palm over Cas' handprint, as he told Chuck. "That's not who I am." We could've gotten some closure. Actually.

#like if dean just fucking acknowledged Cas' love for him #for even ONE frame in 15x19 #then fuck yeah erase cas all they want in the finale in fact it would've been even BETTER if they didn't mention him or how he's alive #just give us that moment where dean. dean touches where cas last held him. #and maybe even we could've gotten closure #but nooooo those sick freaks said suck it! have this incredibly shitty ending so you can never leave #this IS purgatory this IS a self fulfilling prophecy a time loop a game of chance it's fate in the worst fucking way imaginable #anyways #supernatural #spn #spn rant #destiel #castiel #dean winchester #spn meta #15x19 #spn 15x19

he's 26 dude !!!!!

#but literally sam what. dean would've been 22 when he left for stanford like. dean was definitely going on solo hunts #even if you don't count the john journal stuff as canon #also. for the dean killed john AU i love dean casually dropping his alibi. he was in new orleans ! dad disappeared in cali ! #totally could not have been me ! #vics spn rewatch

[starstiels]

wait i never even talked about how dean could have been with cas in the empty.

ok so Billie says that "the empty is waiting for [Dean]" in s11 somewhere uh i can't remember the episode SORRY- anyways she says that, which means that when billie kills the brothers, her plan was to put them in the empty so they could never even have an opportunity to get out again. so consider. dean DOES die in 13x05. billie comes for him, sends him to the empty. BUT. cas is already awake at this point, he's fighting the empty and annoying him into getting out. but then his dean senses tingle (or the empty is like "there's a human here... dean wincster.." or some dramatic shit) and so then DEAN wakes up and we'd get an episode (because i love the entirety of tombstone and wouldn't be willing to part with it) where dean and cas are annoying the fuck out of the empty together while trying to escape and sam and jack do their best to exist without dean (i don't think they'd burn deans body right away, they'd wait a week or two just in case (which of course comes in handy bc. yeah)) and um i think it'd be silly.

god dean is such a bitch sometimes i love him.

he's like omg benny<3 you're my brother<3 and then omg garth i'm starting to like youu let's hug<3

but then with castiel, his literal BEST FRIEND whom he loves and yearns after when he's gone, dean's about to bite his head off every time cas does something unconventionally nice. or just. exists near him. it's so funny to me. that's why i know he's in love...

#if dean would've been remotely attractred to benny #he would've been such an ass #like bickering yelling at him acting annoyed af #but we got soft dean because THERE WEREN'T COMPLICATED FEELINGS THERE!!! #i rest my case #still love when in fanfics say they're doinfg the nasty but in canon?? nope #destiel #dean winchester #supernatural #castiel #spn #casdean

[ardentpoop]

felt this one tbh

#how many seasons has it been since my last Rare Moment Of Tenderness Towards Dean lol #ough. the sting of rejection the abandonment issues being dredged up when mom was supposed to be the perfect parent the one who would've #kept them all from fraying apart at the seams had she not died prematurely #dean can't even look at her so she turns to sam instead bc he's less of a raw wound (maybe) and more emotionally available (definitely) #sam shouldering the weight of the goodbye for both of them :-) #also when mary's like ''i miss my boys as i knew them - my baby sam and my little boy dean'' #god lol. HER BABY SAM. he never even knew her!!!!!!!!!!!! #spn #liveblog tag #12.03

just thinking about jo's dad bill being Deaf and passing his deafness down to jo. but then he dies before she can truly get an understanding of what that means to her. so aged 10 she's left with a patchy fluency in ASL which can do no nothing but deteroriate over time and very little tying her to her cultural heritage (ellen knows ASL and things from bill but she's hearing; it's not the same) and that's why ellen is so protective of jo, because she knows firsthand how dangerous hunting can be, especially for deaf hunters. and then dean turns up, a winchester just like john, and of course she wouldn't want jo to hunt with him - john never learnt ASL, never really found a way to communicate properly with bill while hunting. but she sees the way dean laughs a little blankly at what she says, and reacts a little too late in conversation, and sees that maybe dean is more like jo than he is like john. and so two deaf kids who have grown up in complete isolation from any other deaf people finally find a community in each other

#and when eileen turns up dean weeps because jo never knew her #and jo would've been the same age as eileen. they would've been best friends #there could've been three of them rather than two #and he's been on his own for so long since jo died #but then eileen rocks up and it's a little bit like coming home again #yeah feeling real normal about this one today #dean and jo #deafnatural #hoh!dean #deaf!jo #jo harvelle #ola.txt

[coffincoitus]

in the finale sam should've poured whiskey on himself and climbed on dean's pyre like denethor deciding to die with faramir

#he spent the whole show wanting to die with his brother.... #dean could've still been twitching with signs of life on that pyre #and sam would've be like pls not now ive waited our whole lives for this 🥺 #supernatural

John Winchester (Supernatural) vs Henry Spencer (Psych) in: Shitty Dad Showdown

#supernatural #psych #I think Henry could've raised Sam better than John did but he would've been worse for Dean #On the other hand John has an excuse. Henry is just Like That #I dont think Shawn would have been better with either of them he's just too......... Shawn

The boys are over at Bobby's and he's busy with hunters. The two are bored especially since Bobby doesn't want them helping, saying they're messing up his process. In reality he just doesn't want them helping when they should be acting like teenagers. Rather than fighting others demons. They end up outside, bored having to be quiet in the house, the two go outside where Dean finds a stick and tries to fight Sam with it. Sam finds a better stick and wins. So Dean throws his down and Sam decides to do the same thing. And they just keep adding sticks to the pile. Until they have a sizable pile and Dean wants to light in on fire, and Sam's supposed to say no, that's a bad idea. Instead, Sam takes the initiative to find an area where they actually can do that. Even grabs an accelerator for it. The two get it to go and they found a couch that Bobby had lying around and bring it over. Dean challenges Sam to another duel and once again, Sam wins again, this time using the couch to his advantage. The two chill for a bit and watch as the fire does some cool things. Unknown to them it was Sam's doing. Bobby comes out to see what they're doing and shakes his head, they've got a whole set up. Figures. He goes back in and hands them some things they can use to cook up some food, gave them some hotdogs and s'mores. Gave them some other things he already made. When he's ready to leave them alone, the two ask where he's going. He says to get a chair, and to send hunters over to Rufus. He can handle some of the workload for once. And the three are out there, the boys messing with each other, Bobby trying to avoid laughing at their antics not wanting to encourage them. Not that they need encouragement to do so. Eventually Dean knocks over the emergency water, and they end up going inside, but it was one of their favorite memories.

And before everything went to Hell with well Hell, when they're over at Bobby's, and Castiel is around, so is Adam. Sam needs air and ends up outside, and sees the area they did that before. Sam finds a stick and when Dean rounds the corner, he challenges him to a fight, and Dean quickly gets with the program and they have a stick fight. Castiel watches with worry not realizing the two are goofing around. Adam is watching with Castiel, having nothing else to do besides being threatened like Dean if he leaves. He laughs seeing Dean falling on his ass, and the two realize they had an audience. Sam nudges Dean and he sees the pile and the two look at each other before racing off to find more sticks. Throwing them in the pile, some at each other. Bobby come outside and sees, shakes his head. He heads back in and starts pushing a couch out, Castiel frowns and Bobby tells him to help him with it. So Castiel does and they realize Adam isn't where he was. Instead he's with Sam and Dean, and the three are fighting with sticks. Leaving Bobby and Castiel to bringing out the seats that they were unaware about until the fight was over, Sam was teamed up against and Adam ended up winning when Dean had his guard down. They added the sticks to the pile and set off to find more, the more the better. Bobby left to prepare some food, getting some drinks out as well. They started the fire and goofed around, getting Adam involved in their antics. Acting like kids. Castiel watched in fascination, unaware they were plotting against the angel. He realized when they had surrounded him and threw him a stick. That's how they got an angel involved in a stick fight, who unsurprisingly held up against the three vey well and won. Bobby saw outside the window, they would manage to do that. And came out with the goods. And that got the Winchesters to chill out for a bit. Bobby getting his own spot, Dean sitting on the other side, Adam next to him, Sam one over and Castiel sitting next to Sam. They made their food, passed along things each other needed. Sam made Castiel a s'more and they all agreed he had to try it. So Castiel did and got messy. That wasn't the only food shifted towards him. It was nice, almost like family. But after some time it calmed down, and rather than Dean kicking over the emergency water, it started to rain and everyone ran inside. Taking turns showering to warm up. And Dean went missing. That's when Hell broke loose.

#Loosely in sync with what's canon #I think something like this would've hurt a lot to see though #Like had things been different that's how they could've been #But instead they're at war and having to sacrifice themselves or others to protect their loved ones #And in the end they're just humans who got wrapped up in a supernatural world that doesn't care about what's fair #They just care about fate and prophecies #I'm rambling but I really want to write this out #sam winchester #dean winchester #bobby singer #adam milligan #castiel

[sampegger]

do you guys think the writers would have taken it more seriously if it had been alastair around relentlessly tormenting dean in late seasons as opposed to lucifer with sam

#i'm just thinking #like obviously late seasons writers tend to be inconsistent with handling trauma in any case but #like when dean first came back from hell we actually spent a lot of time with it #and with sam yeah we had his hallucinations but late seasons when lucifer is a problem again we only really get like #sam talking abt his trauma with rowena once #and this isn't meant to be dean critical like it's not his fault the writers gloss over how they've put sam into a horror show all alone #i just know dean gets more attention than sam does late seasons and i'm wondering if ppl would've been more willing to deal w it #but also the thought of alastair being around late seasons haunting dean in the way lucifer does sam is kind of awesome #alastair possessing someone in the bunker hmmmmmmmmm #PLEASE add onto this with any thoughts on alastair being around late seasons omg #alastair reviving dean like how lucifer revived sam in beat the devil? #idk alastair was always so much cooler to me than lucifer was maybe thats why my brain is obsessed with this now #i guess maybe like. you could do this same thing with michael. but alastair just seems more interesting to think abt #and amara was around too i guess #but. idk let me have this #anyway #spn #supernatural #sam winchester #dean winchester #alastair spn #lucifer spn

[persefoneshalott]

One of Dean's most frustrating trait for me is that he's against immortality and has these idea of what's 'natural' 'what's dead should be dead' etc (sam excluded ofc) This is why while he'll go and sacrifice himself to save Sam he'd never be like 'oh hey if we do this spell, dead Sam can come back and live in my brain and both our spirits can live in the same body' or some freaky shit like that, if he ever ran into something like that and thought it was the only option to save Sam he'd just book it out of his own body so that Sam can have it. whereas Sam would be like fuck yeah this is a great first step before I find a better way to get him back and as we know from canon would be willing to have innocent people die so Dean can stay alive

#Dean's like I have to save Sam always that's my job and whatever happens to me to achieve it doesn't matter. but is also. not shameful but #like. he failed and he's paying for it #whereas Sam is like I have to save Dean because I WANT and need Dean with me and whatever I have to do to achieve it not only doesn't matte #but it's the right thing to do. all bets are off. nothing is sacred #and the second one is so much more relatable for me <3 #spn #Sam has great self restraint bc I would've gone the 'become a vampire and turn dean into vampire' route immediately if the other #things didn't work. also when dean's like 'someone died so i didn't :/ we have to investigate' Sam's like maybe it's a coincidence can we #just not question it and then is like sigh fine we will whereas if that were me I'd have been like 'SO?? one person for one person?? we kil #monsters ALL THE TIME anyway' #I think I might be a Sam girl bc I'm just like well if Dean just listened to Sam and let Sam do the necessary atrocities #everything would be fine #I'M ON S1 AND REWATCH SO I MIGHT BE WRONG but if i'm wrong about sam in this it's probably just bad writing

[angelsdean]

i think once everything’s settled and dean starts going to therapy and starts processing and unraveling the events of his life, he’s gonna lose it abt emma like he won’t be able to stop thinking abt the fact that he had a daughter and his brother killed her like he never got to process that with everything constantly happening and always another big bad to worry about but now he has the time and i think all this’ll be triggered by sam and eileen having their own little girl and i think dean’s just going to get stuck in this loop of i had a little girl sam killed her i had a little girl sam killed her i had a little girl sam killed her--and i think dean will also keep thinking back to when jack was first born and how dean just saw a monster but sam adovcated for jack and to trust him and give him a chance arguing he’s not evil just because of who one of his parents is....and i think dean will just think about that over and over until he just explodes like why was it okay then to kill my daughter !!!! and then of course, he goes into purgatory to find her and bring her home<3 

#maybe one day i’ll write this #it's on The List of WIP ideas #i'm sorry 90% of my fics either don't have sam in them as anything more than a background character and / or dean's mad at him asjfhks #i'm not actually sam crit i just think dean has a lot of issues to work thru regarding his brother #and the things they constantly sweep under the rug like. they literally NEVER talked abt emma again #jack's introduction would've been the perfect time to bring it up again and really hash all that out #vic.txt #dean and emma

as much as i like seeing explicitly queer characters kiss on screen, you can have a queer relationship without it, yknow?

like, actors have limits to what they're comfortable with, and that's fine. maintain and follow those boundaries. but you can have characters be in a relationship and just not kiss

like, frequent hand holding. maybe they're sitting across a room and a little too close to each other, softly whispering.

little blink and you'll miss it moments, and then they'll say something in passing about it like: oh my bf/gf did this, my partner said such and such, do we really need to send my husband/wife they're, etc.

especially when it's already accidentally written that way, like just embrace it.

edit: if anyone has seen the old guard, joe & nicky are very much a couple but they only ever actually kiss once in the entire movie - like that shit slaps

#deancas #this is about supernatural #only on season 5 but like #come on #it wouldn't have been that hard to realize they'd accidentally made destiel queer coded- run with it- and not make jensen have to kiss a gu #the writers are just cowards #bi Dean would've been such good angst too #i say this as a dean coded bi woman 💀 #edit: it might say smth abt me that i yearn for the soft and tender touches of a lover without the kissing #but that might just be thr asexuality talking #or the trauma who knows

[shadypoliticianfromplanetvulcan]

unpopular opinion maybe but I don't think Castiel really cared about Sam

#change my mind #but like #he broke his head even though he knew it could kill him #he didn't want to take dean back to sam to stop the trials even though he knew it would kill sam #idk these don't seem like the actions of someone that like really really cares for the other #oh aaand when sam was mauled by those vampires he didn't lift a finger to stop it even though it would've been very easy for him right #just told dean 'its too late' after running after him half heartedly

jumping from "oh no there is SUCH specific depraved SPN fic i want to write based on SUCH specific onscreen dynamics" to "wait this was supposed to be porn when did it grow a casefic backstory, a thematically relevant monster of the week, and a works cited page" to "well THAT'S way too much fucking work, whew, what a relief, i was really worried for a second there that i'd actually write fic for SPN"
