4.15 Death Takes A Holiday

— happy valentine's day @kjosi 💕

( in collaboration with @destielvalentineexchange2024 )

was unsure about posting this but ITS THEM THEYRE ON A DATE

I’m creating a destiel shirt for one of my classes and just wanted to share

crazy that sam’s otherness was so integral to the plot in the early seasons. sammy’s a freak. sammy’s a little off. There’s Something A Bit Different about sammy. nondescript guy w blueberry shot. but then in the later seasons, dean is so fundamentally Othered and they just straight up. don’t go into it. dean doesn’t have a female soulmate in heaven bc reasons. dean wants to experience people & feelings Differently than he has before but we won’t go into it. dean’s own subconscious asks him ‘how come you only want what you can’t have?’: dean as a character is aware of his own otherness, but the narrative itself bends to ignore it. dean has to die on the rusty nail bc sam is the normal one now and dean wouldn’t fit the mold of 1 wife and 2.5 kids: that’s intrinsically not who he is anymore. dean winchester constantly toes the line of this spoken/unspoken Difference and the story ties itself into knots with this dichotomy of introducing and acknowledging it, but simultaneously avoiding its resolution. (the resolution being of course, that dean is queer and loves cas back). just. so interesting that we have this direct comparison of sam (otherness by design) vs dean (otherness by mistake). spn truly did the Most to avoid following the natural path of the narrative huh

through heaven and hell

So I’ve been watching Supernatural.  I know, I’m really late to the party and man it was hard to wait, what is it, how many seasons for Castiel to show up? Four?

Anyway, Castiel falling.  Which is mostly me messing around but … you know.

I can’t do this alone. Yes you can. Yeah, well, I don’t want to.

JENSEN ACKLES as DEAN WINCHESTER in Supernatural (2005) season 1

Thinking again about how the 1x05/8x07 parallel of Jess/Cas wasn't just the brothers grieving and hallucinating the one they loved, but it was also out of guilt that they didn't do enough to save them

nothing pisses me off more than when i see a fic on ao3 talking about reach. "this ship isn't here but i added them for reach" "this fandom tag isn't necessary but i'm adding it for reach" "reposting for reach" STOP IT!!!! this is not tiktok this is not twitter this is an ARCHIVE this is not how it works!!!

These men have taken residence in my head and are refusing to leave

Save me 2025 supernatural revival
