I genuinely miss TW. It definitely deserves a renewal. I hope Jensen has plans for it with his Amazon deal once the strike is over.

That's twice now, TW has John and Mary, or John, trapped in a room, facing impending death, and the crisis causes their barriers to fall and results in them kissing. That's twice now, they've shown us next step outcome for Dean and Cas that they were denied. That's twice now TW has recreated (with variations) the dungeon room scenario of 15.18.
It's almost like...the narrative is caught in a loop on it, can't let go of that moment in particular. Isn't that...interesting. It keeps coming back to that so specifically. It's really LOUD. Who is telling this story...who is caught on that moment and unfulfilled outcomes.
Why is Dean on the road in ep 1 of TW in his Purgatory II outfit.
Well, don't you know I'm caught in a trap?
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

Taken from an interview with In Defence of Fandom podcast, the Winchesters writers discuss Castiel's return and outright deny the parallels between John and Mary and Dean and Cas (when it's all there). They all say it's up to interpretation as damn usual.
The writers are being really cowardly and should explore Destiel with the care and respect it deserves.

I was wondering why they used the blue for Mary and the green for John here (when usually Mary is used as a parallel for Dean) then I remembered John is supposed to die at the hands of a vampire in this episode.......

*yes, the episode which is titled "CAST YOUR FATE TO THE WIND"

They really really want me feral on the Destiel parallels don't they.
People going mad when they think they're about to die so they do crazy things thinking they won't have to deal with the consequences but sometimes it's not just that. Sometimes people speak their truths with joy in their heart, and act on feelings they've had for some time, and they would like to have the consequences, please.
Like...a kiss in this case.
And Mary needs time. To process that.
Or, say, a love confession speech, and it sounds like a goodbye. And Dean needs time and can't speak what's in his heart. Dean needs time. To process that.
This is more than just the literary device of paralleling and mirrors for giving a story texture. In part, John and Mary is doing commentary on Dean and Cas's story. It's writing character analysis unpacking Destiel.
I'm going to ask Destiel shippers to look past specifics, and caught in thinking that because John and Mary aren't so well loved in fandom, and John's problems, and Mary's problems, that it's bad for Destiel to be paralleled to John x Mary. These things are not used as perfect one to one correlations. The point is that it's a romantic love story and there are some mirroring from the characters and it's not an insult. It's people. It's love. It's two beings who fell in love. John and Mary were not magically roofied into caring. And the love story of Dean's parents and his own love story with Cas have similarities.
