“i mean, guys like us, we're not exactly the type of people they write about in history books, you know? but the people we saved, they're our legacy, and they'll remember us, and we'll eventually fade away, too. that's fine, because we left the world better than we found it.”

BRASS KNUCKLES ARE BRASS KNUCKLES BITCH. GET HIS ASS

Dabb-era family horror // Trueforms // Masks ⤷ for @allegedlyopposed’s angel number celebration event

the way Dean’s holding a wine glass... a Choice

Not enough is said about the fact that Mary Winchester needed Ketch --- the man canonically referred to as a psychopath --- to tell her that she should call her son for her to actually do it.

This 12x22 episode with the Bane twins is seriously heavy to revisit...

WOMAN: When your mother found me, and when I realized what she was, I offered to teach her. (Flashes of the woman coming into the cellar and talking to Tasha as she lays on the table.) I offered her my power. Flash of the woman talking into Tasha's ear. Of the woman carrying a heart. Of Tasha spitting in the woman's face as she rejected the woman's offer. Of the woman wiping her face and turning and leaving. WOMAN: But even dying, she was rude. So... I made her into one of my creatures. (Flash of the woman cutting out Tasha's heart while she screamed. Of the woman holding her heart.) That doll has all of your mother's memories. Image of her placing Tasha's heart into one of her dolls, and reciting a spell. The ring on her finger glows and the doll transforms into Tasha. WOMAN: It's her. Mostly. (She releases Dean and Max from the vision.) Just like the others. Rick, Andy – They do what I want, when I want. I'm old. I like things a certain way. (She seems quite pleased with the way she has arranged things for herself. She smiles at Max and Dean.) MAX: No. No! (He casts a spell at the woman, but it does nothing more that blow her hair back. Max is puzzled that the woman is still just standing there.) WOMAN: Nice try. If you kill me, well, then all of them just fall apart. (She starts to edge closer to Max as she speaks.) So here's the offer. You take my power. You take my burden, and my doll – your mother – will stay with you and your sister forever. Just one big happy family. (Max seems to be considering her offer.) DEAN: Max, no. Listen to me. Your mother is gone, okay? (The woman is not happy that Dean is talking.) It's awful and it sucks... but that's – Aah! (The woman snaps her fingers and Dean is in sudden pain. Max looks quickly at Dean and then back at the woman. She takes her ring off her finger.) WOMAN: So... do we have a deal? She seems quite pleased with the way she has arranged things for herself. She smiles at Max and Dean. MAX: No. No! (He casts a spell at the woman, but it does nothing more that blow her hair back.)

///

ALICIA: Mom! (The Tasha creature pulls out a knife and stabs Alicia through the stomach with it. She collapses with the knife still in her. Sam is horrified.)

///

The elderly woman is standing with the ring in her outstretched hand, staring at Max. WOMAN: Take it... and the deal is done. Max seems unable to make a decision. Dean tries to grab his gun. WOMAN: Take it. Max reaches out to take the ring. The woman looks gleeful at how things are going. Suddenly a shot rings out and the woman bleeding and stunned. Dean has managed to reach his gun and shot her with a witch killing bullet. WOMAN: Nice try. If you kill me, well, then all of them just fall apart. Take it.

///

(Max seems stunned that Dean shot the woman.) MAX: Why did you... (Max turns to Dean quickly as he manages to stand, before looking back at the woman on the floor.) DEAN: Max, listen to me. Hey, hey. I had to, okay? That deal wasn't with her. It was with a demon. You even touch that magic and you lose your soul. (Sam yells from the other room.) SAM: Dean! (Dean pats Max on the shoulder.) DEAN: Come on. (Dean leaves the room and heads back to Sam. Max stands there confused as Dean leaves.)

///

(Alicia is writhing in pain. Sam doesn't know what do to for her, but is trying to calm her down.) SAM: Don't fight. Don't – Shh, shh. Just take it easy okay? Take a breath. Shh. (Alicia takes a quick breath and then is still.) SAM: Alicia? (Dean walks into the room. Sam looks up at him and stands up.) SAM: She, uh.. (Max enters the room and sees his sister. He pauses before going to where she lays on the floor.) MAX: Alicia? What? Please. No, no, no. Hey. Hey. Hey! Please, no. No, no, no!

///

(Scene opens outside the boarding house. Max is standing by himself, as Sam and Dean approach him.) SAM: Hey, Max, um, this is, uh... Look, you – you're probably in shock right now, but it's gonna pass. DEAN: And then it's gonna hurt. MAX: I could've saved them... my mom. If I had just... taken Alicia seriously.

///

DEAN: Yeah. Yeah, he seemed super saved. You know, I was watching them, this loving family. The kind we should've had. And now just like that, it's gone.

12x20 Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes

///

There's something to be said here about the resurrection of Mary, the reborn-hunters-as-dolls, and the whole Jack-taking-Chuck's-powers thing. I'm just not yet sure what words to use.

Other things:

A Twigs & Twine Doll is a creature fastened together with twigs and brought to life by placing a human heart in its chest cavity and reciting a spell.

I think of these meanings:

The phrase, "as the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined" = proverb = one's actions as an adult are dictated by behaviors learned in childhood.

The meaning of to twine around (someone or something); To encircle, wrap, or coil around someone or something. Like an ouroboros, perhaps?

Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes (12x20) May 4th, 2017

As a fan of Steve Yockey's writing, I have to do this.

For @seasononesam’s 1k Follower Celebration Sam & Dean // Pilot References

image description: scenes from the Pilot episode compared to various scenes using the same dialogue from “Swan Song,” “Alpha and Omega,” “Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes,” “Back and to the Future,” and “Carry On”

1x01: 4-year-old Dean runs from their burning house before turning back to look up at the light from the window of Sam’s nursery. He tells baby Sam, “It’s okay, Sammy.” Then John comes running from the house to pick them up and carry them away, saying, “I gotcha.”

5x22: Sam looks at Dean bloody and on the ground. Sam is struggling to keep control, and he tells him, “It’s okay, Dean. It’s gonna be okay. I’ve got him.”

1x01: In John’s cluttered motel room, Sam gets Dean’s attention and says, “Hey, Dean? What I said earlier, about mom and dad, I’m sorry.” Dean holds up a hand to stop him and says, “No chick-flick moments.” Sam says, “Alright. Jerk.” Dean almost smiles and responds, “Bitch.” before turning to walk away. Sam smiles.

11x23: Dean, not looking at Sam, says “No chick-flick moments, come on.” Sam won’t look at him either, then he clears his throat as he takes Dean’s keys. Sam says, “Yeah, you love chick-flicks.” He laughs. Dean nods and says, “Yeah, you’re right, I do. Come here.” and he grabs Sam’s shoulders to pull him in for a hug.

1x01: Dean stands in Sam and Jessica’s living room, looking down before he looks up to stare at Sam and tell him, “Dad’s on a hunting trip. And he hasn’t been home in a few days.”

12x20: In the bunker, Sam rolls his shoulders and sighs a little before reciting to Dean, “Their mom’s on a hunting trip, and hasn’t been home in a week.”

1x01: Outside Sam’s building, Dean tells him matter-of-factly, “I can’t do this alone.” Sam shakes his head a little, squinting, as he says, “Yes, you can.” Dean looks down and away before he says, “Yeah. Well, I don’t want to.” Sam blinks, then looks around before hanging his head, resigned.

15x20: In the barn, Sam is crying as he tells Dean, “I can’t do this without you.” Dean looks up at him and quietly responds, “Yes, you can.” Sam looks away and shakes his head, choked up, before looking back to answer, “Well, I don’t want to.” Dean, watery-eyed, smiles a little.

15x01: Both standing at the trunk of the impala, Dean says, “Well, you know what that means.”  They both look into the trunk before Sam says, “We got work to do.” Sam lifts his arm to close the trunk, and the scene changes to show him closing the trunk in the same way at the end of the Pilot.

Supernatural Battle of the Episodes!!

Hey folks! Looks like Twigs & Twine took down The Memory Remains in a good battle! Let's bring on its next contender!

(Also go vote on the other poll I reblogged...seems a bunch of morons think Cas knows Dean better than Sam does 🙄)

Who's it gonna be Chuck?!

Chuck: Next up we have Something About Mary - After Mary unknowingly kills a fellow hunter, she discovers she's being brain washed by the BMOL! Meanwhile, after Eileen turns up dead from an apparent Hell Hound attack, Sam and Dean go off looking for Mom, Ketch and Toni. They find Toni and take her hostage, but Ketch, some BMOL expandables, and Mary try to kill Sam and Dean but lock them down in the Bunker with Toni with only about 3 days worth of air! 😯
