Think about how familiar Sam is with Dean's profile. He's seen it evolve over time. From boyish to defined to sharp. No one knows the line of Dean's nose better than Sam. Or the curve to Dean's chin and the dip of his throat.

[flownwrong]

happy wincest wednesday (in advance, i'm actually thinking ahead for once)! I'm all about the crossovers this week: how do you think Sam and Dean's Disco Elysium stats work? They've obviously got a lot of points put in everywhere, what with all the hero stuff, but what do you think are their signature skills? Do they have any unique ones? Thoughts, thoughts <3

happy happy ww, z! thanks for the awesome question <3 (your previous one is still not forgotten btw!)

oh jeez! i can immediately see dean generally tending towards psych/phys, obv, and sam more confident with intellect/motorics (like lol e.g. i think it's more or less canon dean is a somewhat better shot, but that boy does Not know what composure even is, let alone savoir faire)

i do think they're fun custom builds though — sam is defoooo high up on volition scale, to the point it's my closest contender for signature, and suggestion—a deadly, borderline sociopathic combo, when you remember all that composure and rhetoric waiting in the wings. but with that much volition—he has a final say in what he is, always and ever, as demonstrated in swan song, the entirety of s9, the list is endless.

and no one can beat his endurance+pain threshold combo. we saw many try. it's just easier to hit him in a thinner spot (electrochemistry seems to be one. not much care over it, but also not much control. the rubys and lady tonis of the world see it plain as day. it won't make him open up to you, but it will work as a carrot for choice goals.)

dean, i imagine, lives life immersed in a conversation between half-light (isn't it fun to think of moc > demon dean pipeline as his natural half-light predisposition steadily getting maxed-out to the point it cancels out his psyche sensitivity?) and drama (which, in his case more of a genuine mutability + desire for connection and participation than a performative weapon. comes with the ability to see through it in others (ruby anyone?) and i'd go with it for signature.)

i believe all of this is modified by his high empathy turned endless feeling of responsibility, leaving half-light in more of a fear of abandonment+pessimism line of thought position than a deranged aggro position.

i'd also bet he's not bad on shivers (all those long drives in the impala, talking gently to the road!) and very much an esprit de corps guy when it comes to hunting teamwork, while sam is the resident encyclopedia king, not opposed to flexing the authority either.

all of this is just the usual framework where sam is immutable and dean is relatively easy to mold, but not easy to fundamentally change, whatever he might think about his own liabilities and failings, of course.

and a little of those unique skills, as a treat; i know DE fandom loves inventing those, which makes all the sense, we don't all live in harry's head, so.

i'd give dean the one called family business, haha. that would be john's voice in his head when it comes to all that hero responsibility paid for by own desires (it would have a field day with WIAWSNB dean or the pre-s6 family guy dean), hunting community (e.g. the whole bobby deal), taking in companions and friends to that end, occasionally finding himself in a mentor position later on. mostly unpleasant. always loses checks against anything sam-related.

sam, i'd go with boy king, lol. his natural ability to pick up and use supernatural skills that, when maxed out enough to mess with his volition, gave us the beauty of s4, let lucifer get hold of him to the degree he did in s7, and in later years made him suitable for trials and rowena's trust and occasional spellwork, but, from his point of view, is just kind of a nuisance, and a dangerous one at that. imagine what fun it would be to listen in on this tempting voice always suggesting he go back and flex those powers, it would be so easy to just—yeah.

(you said unique skills not cool skills!! unique fuckups are just more fun)

anyways. that's that. thanks again it was so much fun to think about!

[why-this-kolaveri-machi]

i find it incredible that spn started off dressing hunting in the symbols of rebellion and coolth, the cowboys charting wild territory doing their thing while normal people went about their boring lives ignorant and slow--

only for hunting to progressively become formalised and gentrified, a legacy passed down by blood, inescapable purely because you happen to be born into a particular family. even in death dean is poring over hunting defining his parents' lives during the short years they were together before he was born, in open defiance of a decade's worth of storytelling that told us that the genesis of the winchesters' story was first in john's death, then in mary's.

which is why it makes me so fucking happy that the finale ended with an incredible act of defiance from sam and that this is sustained by him not indulging in dean's predestination-essentialist rewriting of history. i hope he's meeting the friends he made during his long, long life on earth, and having a nice cup of tea. there is no greater rebellion in this show's universe.

the number of ppl who apparently thought chuck just magic’d the samulet into sam’s pocket on the spot….. HELLO? what did you think the significance of that whole scene was? the looks on their faces? the fucking song playing in the background? chuck earlier in the episode saying “you’ll never guess where this thing has been this entire time”?

I worry abt you guys!

#how are you not picking up what SUPERNATURAL least subtle show in the world is putting down #I would get annoyed whenever samndean would have a stilted conversation after a hunt that bonked the audience over the head w/ #The Moral Of The Story but I’d forgotten that this audience generally like. needed that

SUPERNATURAL + SNOW

#spnedit #corespnedit #supernatural #*spnc #* #happy holidays and happy winter to everyone in the northern hemisphere 💗 #they really should have had samndean battle a snow monster at one point #like in deep winter with a meter of snow and thick thick parkas and adorable gloves #idk why they never did that

[finalgirlsamwinchester]

i've connected the dots

#eric kripke: one of those dudes you can TELL has never gotten over fight club. tyler durden will forever haunt him. #tyler durden and the narrator the original archetype -> samndean the prototype -> butchernhughie the latest iteration #except samndean are also kind of a subversion?? of this concept #early draft pilot sam and dean harrison are this trope to a fuckin T #yknow what. cursed thought. #d*stiel is ALSO a loose variation on this dynamic. #my fightclubnatural thesis #j.txt

[detergentdegration]

Need to know if Sam and his Dean have watched Supernatural lol

#sam fender #supernatural #I’ve gotten heavily into Sam Fender in the last week and just listened to this interview #he talks about going to religious camp with his friend and now drummer Dean #who drew a pentagram with lube on the floor… #like I was already listening to his music with SamnDean in mind and now this! #I was like web weaving of my interests oh silly brain never stop.

[normalbrothers]

i love it when the occasional de/stiel shipper voices outrage over spn "pandering to the win/cesties" - you mean the show is engaging with its own thematic scope?

#they are genuinely more hilarious than those who deny there's anything there at all and claim samndean act like normal siblings

ask game yay

Happy Wincest Wednesday! (or Sunday in this case) I have a few questions for people to answer. Feel free to answer them all or just one (or none at all) even if you’re not tagged!

what song describes samdean the most?

man. i used to have a painstakingly crafted playlist with like narrative and all but it's been rendered obsolete in the couple years since by the change in both my taste and my perception of them. if i had to choose one right now, i'd go with you and i in unison by la dispute, because la dispute are 1) good poetry 2) good at longing and devotion 3) this particular song is about grief but not loss of love so it feels like a post-finale song (i encourage you to listen or read the full lyrics)

I will sing sweetly, hope that the notes change but

I do not need it to happen. I’m not resigned to it. And

If they never do I’ll sing your name in every line

Just like I did throughout this, just like I’ve always done

In every gun, the empty church, and every tortured son

In all those giving up, in all those giving in

Until I die I will sing our names in unison

my other go-to artists for them would be mount eerie and, ig, townes

if spn was set in europe, what country would the Winchesters be from? What language/languages would they speak (+ what car would they drive if not the impala, kinda)

haha okay i don't have any strong headcanons but i can tell you about a specific russian au we had going with friends and even meant to ttrpg the setting a little but it never worked out

dean was driving an old volga gaz-21 third series (which might have connotations that do not need exploring at this juncture but i'm actually very bad at both cars and soviet history lol) which would be pretty damn cool if lovingly maintained all the way from 60s to 2005 and of course dean would call it "lastochka" (a common endearment for beloved cars) only i have no idea how possible it would be for hypothetical john to get one in the first place

and he wouldn't really have grown up on bootlegs of western music so much as the likes of Kino and maybe even Grazhdanskaya Oborona which was weird af but also massively beloved across different classes subcultures and backgrounds so

talking monsters of the week, i'd love to see their ass kicked by a rusalka (mermaid but creepier) or even a domovoy for comedy (those are generally helpful but mischievous) and get into all kinds of trouble with an array of superstitions while helping the babushkas who give the superstitions power by relying so strongly on them, especially in little villages...

is there a project you’re working on currently? Do you have a line or sketch from it to share?

maybe? i hope to rework one of my longer wips into a short but finished (god please) fic but don't hold your breath

what’s the first fanfic for supernatural you’ve written? Did you publish it? Or if you don't write: what's the first fanfic you remember reading?

yeah, i've published it. was for first-time fest, where you picked an episode and did a first-time. coincidentally, i was going through my drafts and found a 2+ years old reblog of it i never posted, so since i didn't even reblog it for timezones then, have a link now (if you read it and like it feel free to reblog this blast from the past haha)

is there another codependent/enmeshed duo from a different fandom you enjoy? Are there parallels to Sam and Dean?

jesus. dunno, i don't think so? they have quite a unique combo of wholesome/dark/devoted

what type of wincest dynamic do you currently enjoy most? (sexual, platonic, dark, fluffy, early seasons, etc.)

the same one i've always enjoyed most — late seasons kind of bittersweet but securely established relationship vibe (in spirit of self-promotion, do check out my ao3 for more of the same haha!)

tagging whoever wants to be tagged etc etc. @prince-of-elsinore tysm for tagging me—it was fun!

I am working on my edit again. the world will not know what hit it when I finish it . if I finish it,

#its not even that big of a deal like im not doing fancy color grading or transitions or wtv #just smashing clips together on top of music #but idk i was inspired #anything for samndean #keithposting #;

[and-stir-the-stars]

we had 11 seasons of cas pretending to be human, why didn't we get sam and dean being forced to pretend to be angels

#samndean sneaking through heaven and failing to understand angel culture? yes plz #spn

[ardentpoop]

:)

#chuck Should be directing most of his ire at sam bc he's the one who always pulls off these crazy feats of love that #tie the cosmos into knots lmao #also this sam speech. ''you protected me from dad.... from lucifer....'' #he did neither of those things baby but i understand you need to reframe your trauma (even tho the writers don't) #regardless this sequence of scenes is more compelling to me than anything in the following 3 eps #spn #liveblog tag #15.17 #i like that it's titled 'unity' and features samndean having a physical altercation while chuck (dean mirror) convinces amara (sam mirror) #that nobody else in the universe understands them and that the only way for them to go on is by him absorbing her into himself #and he was able to convince her of this bc she was crushed that dean lied to her and intended to kill her to take down chuck #i like it. picasso

[transmascsam]

finally finished spn for the first time omg.... official opinion on the finale is that it was fine. corny and uninspired but that’s just what supernatural is/was at that point so I can't really be that mad about it :/

#was it good? no. was it the worst ending in the world? also no #I’m feeling nice abt samndean’s relationship rn which is def influencing it #come back to me when I feel that sam is trapped forever #idk man cas isn't dead and he's hanging out w jack. that sounds like a win to me #my mom's metric for the finale was 'it was better than dexters.' so. #I made this

[loving-family-poll]

The REAL question is when is @jinkieswouldyoulookatthis going to update their fic with samndean having gay sex to celebrate their victory

#not a poll
