#granted I also just am fond of Edlund's Dean too and trust him with it

I feel like I can stand season 8 Dean really easily because all of his symptoms are so intentional placed. Like he’s (written intentionally) lashing out emotionally and often without logic on Sam, acting abusive. The writers are taking his character and what he’s been through and taking his genuine care and his genuine insecurities that are in character throughout the show and showing the gaping hole where healing and positive coping mechanisms and help should be. it bothers me more when it’s inconsistent and feels as if it’s justifying the actions around in context.

#like no one who watches season 8 is going to sit there and think ohhhhh well Sam SHOULD have looked for Dean is purgatory. #Sam quitting hunting IS evil he shouldn't have healed or whatever #like ?? Dean is SO CLEARLY having intense abandonment issues #and he's like ALL over the place emotionally and attachment wise #he's experiencing psychosis #he's experiencing flashbacks #he's loving Cas more than anything ever then hating Sam more than anything then saying Benny is the only person who never betrayed him #then asking Benny to die for him #it's. SO much. #Dean's best traits and worst traits are very apparent and they end up with him doing things that should not be justified #but like the authors KNOW that? it feels in any case. like. it seems intentional to me. #granted I also just am fond of Edlund's Dean too and trust him with it #unlike any of these guys with Sam RIP though the trials monologues my beloved #wank cw #dean winchester #dean #spn #supernatural #I actually like s8 Dean more than s6 Dean sorry Sandy :/
