Sure, Sam’s eyebrows shoot to his hairline once Dean starts losing patience and rifling through Cas’s pockets whenever Cas can’t find something.
But they practically jump off his head and shoot up to the clouds when Dean starts storing his own shit in Cas’s pockets. Receipts, spare change, gloves, pens, knives, other random weapons, pamphlets, folded-up restaurant menus, maps, knickknacks, his own fucking wallet.

Dean + covert Columbo references
I got super inspired by this post, and now I'm obsessed with the idea of Dean referencing Columbo spousal things to amuse himself, then panicking whenever he gets close to being perceived. (It's another of those "harmless" things he can play with and "no one will ever get, because it's an old show." Poor dumbass.) He starts doing this around the same time as the mixtape, FYI. It's a whole thing, and once he starts doing it, he can't seem to stop.
#then he gets even weirder about it
#he starts giving cas a pencil every time he sees him
#but cas doesn’t lose them so he keeps rejecting it like
#dean i don’t need—
#and dean stuffs it into his pocket like shut up and take it
#so cas’s dashboard in the truck is FULL of pencils
#dean continues to make columbo’s spouse references
#like he jokes that cas is gonna win them a cruise at a church raffle
#he gives cas a new coat and accuses him of hating it for funsies etc etc
#dean’s secret bullshit
#he jokes he’s been listening to madame butterfly when he hasn’t
#obv it’s a joke but no one gets it#sam certainly doesn’t watch columbo
#cas starts donating pencils to local schools and he explains that dean gives him pencils every time he sees him#and one of the teachers clocks the joke IMMEDIATELY#and makes assumptions about dean and that he's adorable
#actually i’m obsessed with cas talking about the mysterious dean on his cases now thx
#dean's anecdotes especially
#after cas dies dean finds himself meeting some folks that know cas and they inexplicably know about dean and his pencils and his anecdotes
#oh YOU'RE dean??? etc etc
Bonus points if Dean's conceptualized as this mysterious figure that some ppl who met Cas think is real, and some think he was totally made up to establish rapport. (To be fair, Dean's anecdotes are likely way more random than in Columbo, so he does sound kinda fake.)
Depending on when Dean finds out about it, he feels some sort of way about it, from grief-stricken to confused to embarrassed to absolutely giddy that Cas talked about him to other people.
Dean discovers that most ppl who met Cas, or "agent Spears, Worley, etc" were told about some variant of Dean, to fit the scenario/situation/tone of the case. Sometimes, he's simply Dean, and sometimes he's "my partner, Agent Bon Jovi," and sometimes he's even "Daphne."

Cas suggests Jack should read Ecclesiastes (he’s partial to it)
Jack instead gets obsessed with 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
“Are you sure this part’s not about zombies, Cas?”

people on twitter are discoursing about whether xie lian’s chastity-based cultivation is a form of abuse (?????) which is so backward to me like huh???? yes jun wu’s thing about xie lian being a virgin is fucking creepy and weird and part of his overall obsession and desire to control him. but did they just completely miss the part where xie lian chose this method of cultivation bc the abstinence wasn’t an issue for him? he got hit by sex pollen and never once thought of sex? he didn’t even cultivate for 700 years and just never had sex because he never wanted to and as soon as he found a guy he wanted to fuck he just went for it? literally didn’t even pause to consider the cultivation thing at any point. if this were any other character it might have been used against him but the whole point is xie lian once again perfectly dodging jun wu’s manipulation attacks by just being a weird little guy with autism
