You know, Sam Winchester gets a lot of flack for the fact that all of his girlfriends die but at least it’s always a random thing. Dean on the other hand?? So much worse!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Dean stan till I die but it is undeniably crazy.

My man had three boyfriends and all of them died. The big difference is the fact that they all died the exact same way. Dean (though however unintentional) convinced three supernatural beings to LITERALLY KILL THEMSELVES FOR HIM!!

He had all of them so deeply in love with him, he didn’t even have to really ask.

First we have Benny

He fell hard for Dean in Purgatory and was kinda dependent on him outside of it. It hurt Benny a ton when Dean had to cut contact because of Sam. Even then, he still willingly died and went back to the place he had tried for so long to escape. All for Dean and to make sure he was happy.

Then we have the King himself, Crowley.

Dude stabbed himself in the chest to give Dean time to escape. No illusion or trick, just a straight up suicide bomb to distract Lucifer. He clearly caught serious feelings for Dean over the years, especially after he got the mark and turned into a demon. Even though Dean straight up rejected him, he still was too deep in love. He committed suicide to keep him safe.

Then there’s the one and only, Castiel.

He died for Dean multiple times and had been in love with him for so long but this last one was really it. He confessed how much he loved Dean to his face! He said I love you! Knowing he would die if he did! All to save Dean! All to give him a chance! FUCK IM GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE THIS ONE HURTS!

Basically, Dean had men falling over each other to sacrifice themselves because they were so in love with him and he still had the gall to think he was unlovable.

In conclusion, Dean Winchester is the most oblivious man in the universe.

YAPPING ABOUT SUPERNATURAL

I just finished the season 5 finale and I am PISSSEDD OFFFFFF this is no hate to the show because I absolutely love it, but the fact that it was supposed to end at season 5 and it lasted 10 MORE YEARS has me a bit peeved

I understand that in hindsight more Supernatural was actually a bad thing instead of "ooo more Sam and Dean!!" but renewing the show for a 6th season when ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IS ESSENTIALLY KILLED OFF is not how you finish off a character arc. I don't have any solid proof of this but I'm betting the show got renewed before the finale aired so they added the little, "look, look, Sam is back!!" thing at the end WHICH JUST MAKES ME MADDD

This whole entire series up until this point had clear character arcs for Sam and Dean. Sam was sympathetic and wanted to have a normal life, he didn't want to waste his life away to the family business, he wanted his own choice. Dean had to protect Sam his whole life, following John's orders like a soldier, always knowing that he would live to hunt until his demise. This is CLEAR FROM THE START

Towards the end of season 5 we see Sam ready and WILLING to sacrifice himself to save the world, ANF EVERN BEFORE THAT he says that he does not incision himself living a normal life anymore. He knows he will die fighting. Dean towards the end of the season is tired, he wants it all to end, to go to the Grand Canyon with Sam, he wants something normal. He has to let go of Sam and let him grow up, not keep him tethered to Dean because he's grown. Dean has a "normal" life after Sam traps himself and Adam in the pit.

BUT THEN OHHH BUT THEN AT THE END OF THE EPISODE SAM SHOWS UP WATCHING DEAN HAVE DINNER WITH LISA AND BEN !!!! it just completely erases the whole sacrifice Sam did to save the fucking world !!! It makes no sense for the show to continue after season 5 CAUSE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WRAPPED UP !! Bella is dead because of her demon deal, Ellen and Jo were killed off by the hellhounds and bombing, Lilith is dead, Azael is dead, John is dead, EVERYONE'S DEAD !! Castiel was brought back for the second time that season but it's heavily implied that God brought him back so that's fine or whatever, SO NOTHING ELSE NEEDS TO HAPPEN !!!!!

I get that if the show ended at season 5, we wouldn't have gotten all the of the material we have now, but I'm just saying that the ending of season 5 was FINE and we didn't have to have this entire mess of a series finale WITH THE FUCKING NAIL.

[adeptune01]

alright sorry to go on a supernatural rant in 2023 but...

it makes me feel insane.

Not to beat a dead horse or anything but like destiel will be it for me. Nothing else will ever compare to it. Like a man is raised by an absent father- a father who demands to be obeyed without question. A father who praises guilt, who tells the man that he is his brother's keeper. That he is responsible for all of his actions and those actions affects on others. The weight of the world is on his shoulders and he must bear it alone.

This man, the one that is single-handedly trying to save himself along with everyone he's ever crossed paths with, fails. He sacrifices himself to save his brother and he dies. He's sent to hell, a land of eternal punishment. 'No less than I deserve' he probably thinks.

But then he is saved. Not because of anything he's done. Not because of a deal he or his brother or his father has made. He is saved by a cosmic being of unfathomable power because of his nature which has been deemed by THEE Abrahamic God as being fundamentally good. The man who has hated himself his whole life for not being enough, not doing enough, is declared to be good.

And he feels guilty as hell. He didn't deserve this. Of those hundreds of people he's helped over the years...one of them...ANY of them is better than him. If he's God's strongest soldier then God is going to lose. He is going to fail God just like he failed his own father.

The man spirals while the heavenly power that saved him watches from afar. The power understands the man. He understands what it's like to hold Father to the highest esteem. He understands what it's like to blindly follow orders, hoping for the best. He also understands that the man has the brightest hope-filled soul he has ever seen.

So the power decides to help, and to do so he breaks away from the rest of heaven's contingency. He grows into his name- Castiel. The shield of God (I am not joking that is what Castiel means), created to protect humanity. AND become a pair with the Michael Sword- the man who believes he is unworthy- DEAN.

Through the years- DECADES- there's ups and downs. Divots and cracks in the Almighty's plans. But nothing they can't handle. They grow close and become more than allies in the fight against ghastly horrors beyond comprehension, they become best friends.

They have wild west movie marathons in the basement room designated as Dean's own "Fortress of Deanitude". They hang out late at night at crappy diners eating crappy pie. They go out cruising the town. They listen to the same music. They play pranks on each other. They learn about and remember each other's interests.

Their relationship grows deeper.

They fight. They lie. They attempt to kill each other. They raise a son together. They try to mentor a daughter. They leave. They come back. They mourn. They celebrate.

Together.

Two beings- one human, one angel- who were alone- whose defining characteristic was who their fathers were- prove that it's possible to break free from predestination, from circumstance. Their love, first as friends, then as something more, is as strong as the force that binds the universe- stronger, even.

And then they die.

Separately. Both convinced that the one thing they've wanted, the unnamed thing they've been fighting for, is the one thing they can't have. Because their fathers said so.

Despite everything, in the end, their fathers won. Dean died on the job he couldn't quit from an accident he couldn't help. Cas died obeying the first and most important commandment his Father gave him- to love and protect humanity.

THAT story is what I will never be able to get over. Not mentioning the gothic Americana aesthetic, the clear Protestant 'for by faith' message, the criticism of hyper-masculinity, the exploration of the 'American Dream'.....

[likeabitchylamb]

it's so genuinely interesting to look at my favorite characters in supernatural because it changes so much as the show goes on and each character is different in each season and with each writer. Like, Sam in the early seasons with the demon blood, his brand of daddy issues, his trying to be good but everyone including heaven is telling him he's nothing more than a demon blood-drinking vessel of Lucifer, and he'll sacrifice himself to save the world and stop the apocolapse. oh my god i think about that every five minutes. he's just a long, shaggy-haired, too-tall, and too-kind young man. he sees the best in everyone, and tries to redeem monsters when he can because if he can save them, he can save himself, right? and later on I think about the soulless sam and hallucinating lucifer and the ramifications of being in the cage for so long, and all that so often. but then... idk he has his moments from time to time, but it felt like his character finished and just needed a woman to pair off with because TV character arcs always end with characters marrying, but he didn't even properly get that? he married an off-screen woman after his actual love interest DIED!

then we get dean, who started out as the typical beer-loving cool womanizer dude who loves his family, his car, and hunting things. then he gets broken down as the show goes on into exploring his daddy issues, and it was never something i really fully loved until later on, mostly because the show was always so insistent on keeping his Cool Status at first. then he did and it was always so good. but the show always put a beer back in his hand, a gun in his pocket, and I always left the season feeling like there was more to be explored. he can yell, scream, and cry, but he was never allowed to truly grow from those experiences. he died a hunter, after explicitly showing that was the last thing he wanted.

casiel. oh my god i love castiel. he very quickly became my favorite character above sam with his lack of understanding social queues and his relationship with heaven. ohhhhhh my GOD his relationship with heaven. that scene at the bench where he's begging for clarification and a sign and for god to talk to him????? I'm sobbing. at times i felt like his character's arcs were forced, or his arc was too quick, or off-screen, but that's a by-product of the studio keeping him as a side character so misha had a max number of episodes to show up in. i really hate not seeing "starring: misha collins" because misha really is the heart of the character. just like everyone, but especially misha. he kept castiel around and brought him to life beyond what was expected and that was how it was from day fucking one of his portrayal. oh my god.

also, adam! because his bitterness and spite and hatred always felt So Real. imagine you're him, and your dad travels for his job, but comes to baseball games and he's nice and all. then he disappears and suddenly two men, kinda older than you, show up saying all sorts of crazy shit. they're your father's children from his first marriage before his wife died when they were super young -what?- and his job was hunting monsters -what the fuck?- and you're actually a dark secret in his life and they are fucking pissed cause he was such a shit dad to him -what the FUCK?- oh, and he's dead, killed by a demon -what the actual FUCK- then you get possessed by -get this- the archangel Michael and before you can even begin to properly process that angels exist and the apocolapse is happening because you're still reeling over the fact that your dad was a deadbeat to his two other children who were raised to hunt monsters and your family was like a vacation getaway for him so he can pretend to be normal instead of raising his two other children properly, but you can't think about THAT because oh my god sam took control of lucifer and dragged you and Michael, btw in the same body, down to the hell. but not normal hell, oh no, this is the cage where time is so much faster and you're there for hundreds of years and lucifer is torturing sam and it's awful and you're stuck there with Michael and wow, did he ever say goodbye to his mom (note: i forget if his mom is even alive or talked about, but i assume so) Then you get brought back, and of COURSE YOU HATE EVERYONE!!!

Obey Me x Supernatural : You’re summoned to the Devildom but Winchesters are your brothers (Pt.2)

A/N: I didn’t realize how long it has been since I wrote the last one. Regardless, I’m here with a part 2. I also wanted to tag @queen-of–roses & @redmajesty !

Warning: Swearing

You can find part 1 here !

Diavolo sends word out to a few others, hoping it will help you relax

how can you relax when two hot men walk in?

and there’s a child?

you have no plans on playing house

anyways, you listened to Diavolo’s introductions

“This is Simeon and Luke, they’re angels.”

Wait, this good-looking man Simeon with limited clothing on his body was an angel?

You’ve seen angels in your world, but they usually had a stick up their ass and wore more clothing layers than anyone you’ve ever seen

“And this is Solomon. He’s a sorcerer and a human, like you.”

Great. Cool.

Another human which just happens to be a freaking sorcerer

At least he was hot

BUT you needed to make sure your brothers weren’t doing any weird sacrifices

Again, it was your turn to do the sacrificing

“CAS! IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR ANGEL ASS DOWN HERE, I’M TELLING DEAN YOU LEFT ME HERE! AND THAT YOU ATE HIS PIE!”

“I didn’t mean to eat his pie.”

Everyone seemed to be on high alert to see a man just kind of pop into existence from behind you

“Wait, where are we?”

“The Devildom, apparently. Good hell.”

“Hell isn’t good, what are you talking about?”

“And Lucifer is right over there.”

Castiel looked at Lucifer confused

“That’s not Lucifer.”

Honestly you take great pride in watching “Lucifer” get angry as Satan and Belphie nearly collapse from laughter

This is the best day of their lives

“Apparently, it is. And those two are angels, Simeon and Luke.”

“I don’t recognize them. But if they are angels then I won’t doubt them.”

The brothers, demons, angels & Solomon just kind of stare at the two as they don’t know what’s going on either

I mean, what can they say?

Diavolo is clearly amused by all of this

“Do you think this is Gabriel pulling another prank?”

“He doesn’t enjoy messing with you, Y/N.”

“Yes he does! He comes over to my house just to switch the salt and sugar! Although I appreciate that he saved my ass from Michael’s clutches when he possessed Dean!”

Simeon and Luke looked disturbed by this

As far as they were aware, Michael or any other angel didn’t go around possessing people

“Michael isn’t like that!”

Castiel would look at Luke, knowing damn well what Michael had done, before looking back at you

“Where are we?”

“Some alternate universe?”

“I guess so. Can you go get Sam & Dean before they start a second apocalypse?”

“Alright.”

Castiel looks over at Simeon “You. You’re in charge of taking care of them until I get back.”

Simeon lights up at this

You however smack Castiel on the arm

“I can take care of myself!”

“Y/N, was it? Do you mind explaining all of this stuff to me? I don’t really understand it.”

Simeon’s smile was killer and you wouldn’t mind if he took you out

and not just for a date

you were going to tell him anything and everything he wanted to know

“Take your time, Cas.”

___________________________________

Summary: Dean, Sam & Cas's long-established dynamics were going to change as they came across a young, brave but somewhat socially awkward hunter, Emma.

▁ ▂ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █ SPN █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▂ ▁

In the pulsating underground world of supernatural hunters, the unknown and paranormal intertwine in a ballet of suspense and horror; a world where whispers of mythical creatures are real, where angels and demons tread the same ground as humankind. The seasoned warriors, Dean and Sam Winchester, alongside the celestial being, Castiel, or 'Cas' as they fondly called him, were stalwarts in this crazy, impossible world. But their long-established dynamics were going to change as they came across a young, brave but somewhat socially awkward hunter.

It was another typical day in their bizarre world for the notorious hunters, Dean, Sam, and Cas. They had seen a fair share of shapeshifters, vampires, ghosts, and all other nasty things that come crawling in the night and tucked away neatly in our childhood nightmares.

A new case was their focus, a series of gruesome murders in a small town on the outskirts of Georgia. The trio arrived at the crime scene, piling out of the renowned Impala. Quickly delving into their fake federal agent personas, they started debriefing the local sheriff, scrutinizing each detail for any tell-tale signs of supernatural involvement. But before they could finish, a hint of gunfire echoed through the calm Georgia air.

From the thick woods on the edge of town, a young woman emerged. She was slight but carried herself with an impressive air of toughness. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes stained with dirt and blood. In one hand, she held a smoking gun; with the other, she dragged a Lycanthrope. With a small but weighted introduction, they discovered the woman’s name: Emma.

This wasn't your typical damsel-in-distress scenario; this was Emma, a young and highly skilled hunter. Emma was beautiful, tough, and quicker than most men twice her size, but also oddly socially awkward. Her bravery was not borne from recklessness, but rather from a deep conviction for the brotherhood of hunters.

Dean watched from a distance as Sam and Cas got acquainted with Emma. Not being able to stop himself, Dean, with his usual bravado hiding concern, remarked, “You hunt solo, kid? It's dangerous out there.”

She shrugged her shoulders dismissively, her eyes showing a hint of determination that the Winchesters knew all too well.

She had a way about her, recklessly brave, but also gentle in her toughness. She was a skilled hunter, yes, but she was also awkward in social situations, often blushing deeply or stuttering in conversations. She was disarming in her vulnerability, and the trio couldn't help but feel protective of her.

Days turned into weeks, and Emma became an integral part of their little band of hunters. But for all her skills, she had a fault. Her bravery often morphed into self-sacrifice. For the days that followed, Emma would tag along, showing the boys her exceptional hunting skills, and her useless social skills. If she wasn't stumbling over words, she was obliviously missing sarcasm.

Dean, the older and more protective of the Winchester siblings, saw a fiery spark in her. Her awkwardly adorable inability to converse in social settings oddly reminded him of his younger self — a lone wolf with the world on his shoulders.

On the other hand, Sam, the more academic-minded and understanding of the two, saw stark similarities between Emma and their late friend, Charlie, another gifted yet socially inept hunter who had also captured their hearts. And Cas, an angel exiled on earth, held a gentle affinity for the young hunter. Her struggle with societal norms mirrored much of his own. These parallelisms drew them to Emma in a fraternal sense.

One night, things had turned disastrous. While tracking down a nest of vengeful spirits, Emma had jumped in front of a possessed car, saving Sam at the very last moment. When the dust settled, they discovered her sprawled on the ground, unconscious and severely injured.

The sight of Emma's unmoving form ignited a surge of protective instinct in each of them. The tender, awkward girl had saved them more times than they could count, and now they were unsure whether they would lose her.

Over the next few days, the trio stayed by her side, nursing her back to health. They took turns staying awake at night, ensuring that nothing could harm her while she was vulnerable. Their dynamic had subtly shifted—no longer was Emma just their partner, but they had unconsciously adopted big brother roles for the young hunter.

As Emma pieced back together, she was met with an unexpected surge of protection from the guys. Dean grew more watchful, often flinching at her every wince. Sam was overbearing in his care, constantly checking her wounds, and fussing around for her betterment. Cas, meanwhile, was an ever-present silent guardian, always nearby.

And so, amongst the chaos, a beautiful bond was formed. They had gone from paternal figures to protectors, all the while holding onto their love for their newfound companion they never knew they needed. Emma, in her profound bravery and captivating awkwardness, had caught the hearts of the Winchester brothers and their angelic ally, creating an unbreakable bond.

Interwoven in their world of mystic monsters and deadly danger, they discovered an unlikely friendship and an unspoken vow: they had each other's backs, always. Emma's jarring entry into their team had shaken up their closely guarded universe, showing them that while they fought the darkness, there existed light and love in their unique family dynamic.

The story of Emma, the awkward fearless hunter, held a mirror to Dean, Sam, and Cas, reminding them of their own beginnings and the protective bonds they had forged on the perilous path they walked together. She became their unifier in the face of adversity, the string that tied them together, making them a team... a family.

For Emma, what started as a way to help others had turned into an incredible journey of strength, camaraderie, and, above all, sacrifice. With Dean, Sam, and Cas by her side, she was ready to face the supernatural world unafraid, her awkward quirks now a badge of honor in their close-knit family. She may have been their protege, but in their hearts, they knew, Emma was their savior too. Thus, the saga of Supernatural continued, now with an extra sense of fraternity, love, and a promise to stand by each other, always.

#anyone has time over summer to help me with this fic let me knoooow #proofreading #beta reader #that's my queue #i'm scheduling this for tomorrow because it's in fact after midnight

[payphoneangel]

Here are a few 'make you choose' prompts for the ask game :)

lazarus rising versus lucifer rising

the bunker versus motel rooms

Which was sadder: Castiel's final death or Dean's final death

crowstiel versus drowley

the scene where dean talks to his john's grave in the djinn dream versus the scene where dean talks to mary in her mind

OUGH IM EATIN GOOD TONITE!!!

Laz Rising w/o hesitation. Sorry Sam but Laz Rising is just such a stellar ep all around. The pacing the colors the celestial horror THEE CASTIEL. Can't be beat.

Motel rooms for sure. The bunker had some interesting elements to it and it was fun to see them have a 'home base' in some ways, but mostly I just thought it was really boring 😔 also like. that's just so sad?? This is just my personal bias but if I don't look out a window at least 12 times a day I whither and die like a plant. Living in a whole ass bunker.... NO WONDER LATE SEASONS DEAN WAS SO ANGY HE HAD A VITAMIN DEFICIENCY. Plus I like the thought put into the set for each motel room. There were a lot of details put into them and I really love liminality as a concept and motels are def part of that.

oooooh. Now this is a toughie. I think Dean's death. Castiel got to die in a very,,, like a Very Supernatural Way. He died confessing his love, saving Dean, defeating the Big Bad. It was high drama and high emotions and very Him. Like his whole speech was, while heartbreaking, made a lot of sense for his character. Him not getting resurrected (or resurrected off screen i should say) makes it more sad in retrospect, because for us (the audience) his death was The End of his character, but Dean... You introduce this character with a Devil May Care attitude, who pretends to be rough and all edges, and then you show that actually, he cares a whole whole lot. And then you show him caring a whole whole lot by how much he's willing to sacrifice for those around him. And you find out he does that because he believes it's an inevitability. He's going to die young and bloody-- he thinks he deserves to die young and bloody. And you throw him hardship after hardship and drag him through the ringer again and again and again, and after all that, He's proven right. He died young and bloody. But it wasn't even in a big blaze of glory, it wasn't some grandiose sacrifice for the greater good that fed into his martyr complex, no. Just bad luck on a run-of-the-mill hunt. Castiel's death was sad, sure. But Dean's was cruel. That's why it upsets me more.

OUGH another toughie. Crowstiel or Drowly.... They're both messy and ugly and full of drama so I love both of them, but I think if I had to pick, I'd say Crowstiel. Part of it is just like, the height of Crowstiel was s6, which I like Crowley more in that season. I felt like he and Cas have a more fun dynamic, are a little more equal in power, and idk, there's just something about it. Like they hate each other but they also fuck nasty. Drowly is still v v fun don't get me wrong, but like a pet peeve of mine is how the show treats Crowley. We didn't get to see much of "Dean and Crowley's Summer of Love" so we really didn't get to see the height of it, mostly just the fallout. And like I love demon!dean and most of s10 (an unpopular opinion, i know). But by later seasons i just feel like Crowley,,, like the narrative kind of looses all respect for him. Nothing he does feels like it has a lot of impact, when we see him and demon!dean, he's kind of playing the 'straight' man, which isn't as fun for me. So I feel like in later seasons when Drowley is most present, the dynamic is just not one I fuck with as much.

ahhhhhh mmmmmmmmm. I think Dean talking to John's grave. Idk there's just something about Dean only being able to be honest with his parents when they're absent that just tickles my brain. Not that I think he was being dishonest when he was talking to Mary! And like Mary coming back was a Bold Choice that I wish they had fucked with more, but being haunted by your father, whether living or dead, ahh I simply must stan.

Dean and Castiel are Orpheus and Eurydice - a post

*It's not a perfect comparison. There are things each of these characters go through that they don't share with anyone.

**Also, its not a Orpheus is Castiel and Dean is Eurydice post - Cas shares things with both Orpheus and Eurydice, as does Dean.

***This is about Hadestown, but can be read if you know the original Greek Myth.

The stories (Supernatural and Hadestown) they come from are about gods and men.

Orpheus was a boy "touched by the gods themselves", very similarly to Dean, who is the protagonist of God's (Chuck's) story and Michael's Sword.

Eurydice was a "hungry young girl, a runaway from everywhere she'd ever been. She was no stranger to the world, no stranger to the wind." Likewise, Cas and Dean never fit the place they were supposed to. Cas is a rebel, he always tries to go against the narrative, which made so he couldn't fully be anything (not a human, but not completely an angel, working with the Winchester and hiding things from them). Dean is the same - too soft for a hunter, too rough for domestic life. He didn't have a home for most of his life, and, like Eurydice, was no stranger to the world, no stranger to the wind.

Before meeting Orpheus, Eurydice was alone, and said "people turn on you just like the wind, everybody is a fair weather friend. In the end, you're better off alone." If this isn’t StandfordEra!Dean, I don't know what it is.

The experience of being alone and hungry (and I mean real hunger, having nothing to eat or money to buy it) is something Eurydice, Cas and Dean share.

Eurydice is also hungry for touch. For interaction. For affection. For connecting with people. For being taken care of. For having someone to share a life with. Dean and Cas go through something very similar, wanting to get closer to each other and to others but hiding it inside to not be vulnerable or believing they can't have it.

Orpheus' mother was a muse who abandoned him, and Castiel's father is a god who abandoned the world (and him).

Orpheus was naive, impulsive, driven by what he believed to be right, even if that meant making a few sacrifices - he saw beauty in the world and had a different "way of seeing things". Cas shows all of those behaviors, not understanding how humans work exactly, but being infected by their thoughts and feelings in such a way that he was described to be "in love with humanity", rebelling and becoming able to make choices for himself.

When Orpheus first approaches Eurydice, he is blunt, behaves in an unexpected way and turns her world around by showing her his singing can create life (a flower). When Cas first meets Dean (in a vessel), he gets too close to Dean physically and emotionally and turns his world upside down by telling him he is worth saving and has a purpose for Heaven.

You can see Dean and Cas meeting to the sound of "Come Home With Me" (from the scene Orpheus and Eurydice meet), by destielsevermore, here.

Castiel tells Dean that if he follows Heaven's plan, they'll save the world. Orpheus told Eurydice that spring will come again when he sings the songs he's writing - and thus, saving the world from the freezing winter.

Orpheus and Eurydice parallel the love story between Hades and Persephone. In SPN, Dean and Cas cas be paralleled to other couples on the story - like Cain and Collete, Ishim and Lily, Sam and Ruby, Sam and Eileen and even John and Mary.

Even though Dean was never truly alone, because he always had to take care of Sam (and his parents), he surely can emphatise with Eurydice in the romantic love side of things, when she says "I was alone so long, I didn't even know that I was lonely. Out in the cold so long, I didn’t even know that I was cold. Turned my collar to the wind, this is how it's always been" - but, when they meet Cas and Orpheus, they have someone who fills that part for them.

Likewise, Orpheus said "I don't know how or why or who am I that I should get to hold you. But when I saw you all alone against the sky, it's like I’d known you all along. I knew you before we met and I don’t even know you yet. All I know is you're someone I have always known." which is pretty much how Cas feels about Dean.

Orpheus and Eurydice promised to stay with each other forever - Dean and Cas didn't, but always expected the other to be around.

While Orpheus worked on his song to bring back spring, he didn't notice anything around him, focused on the mission, he loses the chance to save Eurydice. Cas says he "would never look beyond the plan. And then, of course, when it all came crashing down, [he] found [himself] lost."

Hell in Hadestown is a place of relentless repetition and meaningless work. Eurydice worked for Hell and Orpheus made a deal with it. In the end of Supernatural, Dean comes to the realisation that his work has been meaningless, because he's been merely a pawn on Chuck's story, which made him fight the same kind of adversaries again and again, never getting out.

Hadestown/Hell can also be paralleled with SPN's Heaven, as it's workers are intrusted to blindly follow orders and never look up.

Hungrier than ever, Eurydice found herself loosing faith in Orpheus and giving in. Similarly, Dean and Cas find themselves in need to get away from each other a few times during the story, giving in to anger and fear.

Finding herself choiceless, Eurydice made a deal with Hades. Cas makes a deal with Crowley in season 6, betraying Dean, because he thought it was the only choice he had to get to his objective.

Making a deal that kills you and not telling your loved one? Sounds like Cas and Eurydice.

Orpheus goes to hell to save Eurydice. Castiel saves Dean from hell.

Let me know if I should complete the list with moments from Hadestown's second act and feel free to add more!

So, I consider you the resident expert (of my blog) on Supernatural. Would you be willing to explain why today is apparently a holiday dedicated to Dean (I think?) and Castiel’s relationship? While also not making too much fun of someone who knows shit about supernatural beyond the first two seasons 😅

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Destiel (Dean and Cas) becoming canon, because Castiel tells Dean he loves him and that Dean is the thing that he can never have and so therefore sacrifices himself to save the world (and Dean). (Cas had made a deal with a big bad that should he ever experience a moment of true happiness then he would be sucked away. And Castiel realized his true happiness was in the telling of such feelings and not in the having). Fans of the show and of the ship, needless to say, went a bit insane.

It also happened during the week of the US Elections (or as I like to call it the Kicking Out of the Large Orange Turnip, ie Trump) and other various news items which Destiel actually trended ABOVE and was talked about more. So you know, just a small thing, lol

Far from being an expert, I only got into SPN this last February, by starting a binge watch on Netflix. I was of course, on tumblr two years ago and so I sort of knew what it meant beforehand. But I had no idea of the actual depth of it. I saw various discussions of queerbaiting and the ‘kill your gays’ trope that was fascinating from an outside viewpoint. Of course, I was a goner after I discovered all the brilliant fic (and Misha’s blue eyes, ahem). I did a deep dive into fandom stuff after that and I still only barely know half of it, LOL But I do love the fic. Oh, boy howdy how much do I love the fic. Those two idiots falling in love again and again in various situations has become my life blood.

Ironically the fifth of November 2020 helped me with my own story in loads of way I think I’m still processing.

#Ask #destiel #from this outsider’s point of view #what a ride it’s been

[absolutequeertrash]

ok so i would like to preface this by saying i have not watched the movie nor do i plan to so if there are slight inaccuracies i apologize. i have better things to do in my life than watch the trash that j*ff d*avis calls an amazing teen wolf movie.

this will also contain spoilers tho everyone and their mother has been publicly announcing said spoilers so you’ve probably already heard it but if you haven’t been spoiled and don’t want to be i suggest you stop reading here. this is going to be a long one.

i would bet my last fucking dollar that j*ff goes to sleep at night thinking he did something soooo deep with his derek eli parallel and really came full circle with derek’s arc but like my guy (derogatory) IT WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING TO PARALLEL/GO FULL CIRCLE WITH.

for those that don’t remember (which tbh is probably no one if you’re scrolling through any of these tags) when derek was 15/16, kate manipulated him and killed his family by setting fire to the house, leading to him then blaming himself for his entire family dying. so someone tell me why j*ff had derek die by burning to death in front of his own child.

there is quite literally no way in hell derek would willingly choose to inflict the same trauma and guilt onto his own child who, which from everything i’ve read and heard, he loves very much. it is such an incredibly out of character decision that, if i didn’t know how much j*ff hates both us and derek, i would question whether he and i were even talking about the same character.

when we meet derek all the way back in season 1 of the show, he had lived as an orphan for like 5ish or so years (idr how old he was but it was something like that) and you can tell he is traumatized. he literally had the whole “bad guy” persona going for him which is typically reserved for someone with immense trauma (tho i would like to note on a larger scale that it does not excuse anyone’s actions. if they do anything bad they should still be held accountable for it. trauma/mental health can be a reason but it is not an excuse). he knows what it’s like to be lonely and grieving—it’s not really something someone just randomly forgets. and its because of that knowledge that there is no way derek would subject his son to not only being an orphan, but being present at his own orphaning.

and that’s the other thing too. eli was right there when derek sacrificed himself. you can probably imagine the trauma of losing a loved parent/loved one, but now try to imagine the trauma them suffering and burning to death right in front of you would cause. add on the fact that derek literally did it to save eli and now you’ve got an orphaned kid with survivors guilt and depression who will very likely have problems being around fire for the rest of his life.

from a literal standpoint, sure, everything comes full circle. the derek we know formed because everyone he loved died in a fire he blamed himself for, and we ended with his child losing someone he loved in a fire he too likely now blames himself for. but it completely trashed his character arc.

it’s not too dissimilar from dean winchesters death at the end of supernatural (which hey, maybe there’ll be a spanish version of the teen wolf movie that ends differently). dean always believed he’d die in a hunt, alone, without a family or anyone that loves him. a good character arc would show him realizing that he deserves good things in his life and deserves someone that he can settle down with and finally stop hunting (*cough* castiel *cough*), which is decidedly not what we got but anyway back on topic.

derek had all of this guilt and trauma that caused him to push people away, not think he’s deserving of good things, and really think of himself as a shitty person for being the reason his family died. a good arc is not having him sacrifice himself and prove that he can only be considered a “good person” if he’s useful to other people. it would show him (similar to dean) realizing he is deserving of happiness and being selfish for once in his life. it would be deciding he doesn’t want to die and give his son trauma but rather he wants to live and see his son grow up where the hardest parts of his childhood are losing a lax game or getting a bad grade on a test.

this is getting really long ik but i have one more thing. derek’s death was completely unnecessary. granted i haven't actually watched the movie, but you're telling me the only way to stop the demon thingy (i have completely forgotten what it acc was) was to hold it and burn it to death? i have 2 problems with this. firstly, when has anything in the teen wolf series been as easy as just fucking burning something to death. like genuinly. it's the "big bad" of the entire movie. why would the answer be to just burn it to death. there had to have been another way to kill it off. i get that there's no stiles to do the research, but lydia is literally a fucking genius. she definitely could've found another way to kill it and spare eli the trauma of watching his dad unneccesarily burn to death to save him.

my second problem is that they couldn't tie it up any other way??? like cmon they're supernatural creatures. you're telling me that the only way to stop the thing from moving was to grab it and sacrifice yourself? you couldn't trap it? tie it up maybe? grabbing was seriously the only option?

it just makes no sense to me. i understand parents not wanting their kids to suffer, but when there's a possibility of another option that isn't just burn to death in front of them you'd think they'd want to take that one instead. cause yeah, while no parent should have to watch their child die, that doesn't mean that children should have to watch their parent die a gruesome death. and the fact that derek was like well it can't be scott cause scott's the alpha of the pack and that would cause some problems oh well guess it'll have to be me. i don't have time to get into that especially without really knowing all the information and dialogue, but like ???? wtf ????

tldr: actual derek would in no way consider inflicting the same trauma onto eli that was inflicted onto him especially when there had to be other ways to kill it.

#teen wolf #teen wolf movie #teen wolf spoilers #derek hale #derek’s death was literally so unnecessary #and completely ooc #i’m genuinely baffled by how ooc j*ff managed to write derek

ChatGPT's Destiel Rewrite of Supernatural S11-15:

Throughout season 11, Dean and Castiel's romantic relationship would continue to develop, as they work together to defeat the darkness and stop the threat it poses to the world. Dean would struggle with the Mark of Cain, but instead of giving into its negative influence, he would learn healthier coping mechanisms to manage his trauma and addiction. As a result, he would be more focused and effective in his role as a hunter.

In season 12, Mary Winchester's return would be explored in depth, with the focus on her adjustment to the modern world and her relationships with her sons. The romantic relationship between Dean and Castiel would become more prominent, as they work together to find a way to defeat Lucifer and the British Men of Letters. Throughout the season, Dean would continue to struggle with his self-destructive tendencies, but he would ultimately come to terms with his addiction and learn to control it.

Season 13 would see the return of Lucifer and the introduction of his son, Jack. Castiel would take on the role of Jack's adoptive father, and together they would work to protect the world from the threat posed by Lucifer and the other supernatural beings. Meanwhile, Dean would struggle with his possession by Michael and the desire to sacrifice himself to save others. He would briefly relapse into alcohol use, but with the help of his friends and loved ones, he would ultimately overcome his addiction.

In season 14, the story would focus on the search for a way to defeat Michael, with the help of alternative universe versions of Sam and Bobby. Nick's character would be killed off when Lucifer dies, and the show would not revisit his story. Throughout the season, Dean and Castiel's romantic relationship would continue to develop, as they face their own personal demons and work together to save the world.

Finally, in season 15, the story would come full circle, as the Winchesters face the ultimate battle against God himself. The romantic relationship between Dean and Castiel would be a central focus of the season, as they work together to save the world and come to terms with their feelings for each other. The season would end with an open-ended conclusion, leaving room for potential spinoff shows and providing closure for the characters and their stories. Sam would find happiness with fellow hunter Eileen, and beloved characters would not be killed off permanently.

Rewatched 01x04 The Phantom Traveller the other night and wow! John Winchester really is the deadest of deadbeat dads, huh?

Making his outgoing message so that it’s clear that:

1) he knows Dean’s current phone number, despite never even once using it to explain to his worried son(s) why he’s gone and/or that he’s okay.

2) that in his view it’s totally okay to just direct emergencies over to Dean for him to handle in his place. No need to check with Dean about it or let him know that’s what he’s doing.

Sam had also been trying to reach John before this episode, but presumably after the pilot, without getting this message. So it was a recent development. (Dean’s number is just months old.) So he had enough time to record it, but none to call his sons.

They have every reason to believe he’s dead or worse, and he can’t just call to say “I’m fine, no need to worry”?

Castiel: I know. I know how you see yourself, Dean. You see yourself the same way our enemies see you. You're destructive and you're angry and you're broken. You're... you're 'Daddy's Blunt Instrument.' And you think hate and anger, that's... that's what drives you. That's who you are. It's not. And everyone who knows you sees it. Everything you have ever done, the good and the bad, you have done for love. You raised your little brother for love. You fought for this whole world for love. That is who you are. You're the most caring man on Earth. You are the most selfless, loving human being I will ever know. You know, ever since we met and ever since I pulled you out of Hell, knowing you has changed me. Because you cared, I cared. I cared about you. I cared about Sam. I cared about Jack. I cared about the whole world because of you. You changed me, Dean.

Dean: Why does this sound like a goodbye?

Castiel: Because it is. I love you.

The Empty: *slurps up Castiel in a completion of his sacrifice to save Dean*

Dean: …

Dean: …

Dean: I wonder if that means he like-likes me…

For any that it might concern:

Fictional wealth cannot be hoarded. It’s fictional. A mere plot device so that the characters can have fantastical adventures without also having to worry about bills.

If you can accept 1) superpowers 2) magic and/or 3) impossible levels of skill, then you can accept a character having guilt free wealth to spend on gear, travel, etc.

If you are actually concerned about capitalistic propaganda, there are only two kinds worth thinking about:

1) “I made it square”

2) “Money well spent”

1) is any character that went from nothing to gazillionaire through nothing but hard work and determination. (And the occasional treasure hunt that for some reason isn’t counted as robbery.) Main offender: Scrooge McDuck.

2) may have inherited their money, but at least they’re spending it on charities as well as their fantastical type of do-good. (While still living in mansions and wait how much money are we even talking about here? How can you afford all of this?) Main offender: Bruce Wayne. (Tony Stark is a strong contender, but at least his money isn’t used to litter the streets with batarangs. T’Challa is the wealthiest superhero to my knowledge, but I honestly don’t know how his wealth is used or even how it’s distributed. Is it all tied up in vibranium or is it in more liquid assets? Any businesses that operate outside of Wakanda? Although fictional wealth is never that well defined. Like how does Bruce afford all those wonderful toys without leaking his identity?)

And yet, wealth is its own fiction. Even without fictional romanticism of billionaires, you would have people believing that real life billionaires earned their money. That is one of the foundational lies of capitalism and the free market. That it self regulates distribution of wealth towards “the worthy” and that you too can become “worthy” if you’re just “tougher than the thoughies and smarter than the smarties”.

1) and 2) are myths baked into the system in many ways. Capital generating capital has to be justified, and not just for the capitalists. Businesses get their starting capital only by promising gains for the investors. Big or small. Sucks? Yes. Easily remedied? Nope. There’s no gain in crashing current systems until we have a suitable replacement.

TL;DR: Fictional wealth is a plot device, and not able to affect real life wealth in more or less a fashion than fictional poverty does. Judging characters’ morality on their accumulated wealth makes no sense. In real life there is no extreme wealth without suffering. In fiction you can do anything. Writers are not economists.

My #1 post of 2022

“I put a bullet into the forehead of the man I love, don’t talk to me about sacrifice.”

Cool. The guy you’re talking to lived through 14 000 605 possible outcomes, trying to find one where they didn’t lose to the space grape. Presumably each time experiencing terrible death and grief, though it’s not clearly stated.

But it can be gleaned from his earlier sacrifice of locking himself into a time loop with an endless horror heading for Earth. A time loop triggered by his own (violent) death.

He was also given a choice of using his mystic powers to regain the use of his hands, allowing him a return to his old and glamorous life. Or instead learn to live with the constant pain and tremors in order to focus his use of the mystic arts on protecting others. He chose the world and the multiverse over his own comfort.

But sure. You know so much more about sacrifice. 🙄
