So … this is probably going to sound corny as hell, but I was just on Twitter and someone’s post got me thinking.
I truly don’t know how anyone watched Supernatural without seeing that, or not wanting, Sam and Dean to be the heart and soul of the show. They ARE, of course.
Literally, Dean is the "heart." He’s the throbbing, open wound of emotion on the show. Our emotions aren’t always good or something we should let dictate our decisions. They aren’t even always truthful, but they are what drives us a lot of the time. He loves like crazy, for better or worse. He embodies bravery in a fight and fear of being alone. Dean starts the show as heartbroken (for his family, especially Sam) and lonely, and he ends it feeling completed.
When Dean is the most not-Dean, it’s when he is a Demon. He still technically has a soul, but he’s lost his humanity (or heart).
Meanwhile, Sam is the "soul." He’s the ethereal or cerebral, the essential spark that gives a body life (there is no show if there is no Sam, and there is no Dean if there is no Sam). It’s where the conscience and compassion come from, and where faith dwells. Sam starts the show as the soul that is tainted and needs redemption and, by the end, he gets it. Sam is hope and the yearning for more than the base (hunter) life.
Sorry, this just popped into my head when I was thinking of Sam (🎶he wants more than this provincial life🎶) … and I can’t find a soul gif with Sam, so here he is soulless.
When Sam is the most not-Sam, it’s when he’s soulless. His lack of compassion and care make him almost alien.
This even makes sense for why Sam can live on without Dean, but Dean can’t live without Sam. The soul can exist without the body (depending on your belief system). This doesn’t mean Sam is whole without Dean, just that he can exist without him. But Dean, being the heart, needs a spark to keep on beating. The heart can beat, or go through the motions, with artificial assistance when someone is brain dead (or has lost the spark of life), but they aren’t truly alive anymore. No one is home.
Okay. I need to go to bed. This is a big oversimplification, and metaphors got pretty messy here, but I just needed to get my thoughts out there. Thanks to anyone who bothered to read my rambles! 🫂
One more thing before I go to bed … The Impala is the body. The show is complete because it has Sam, Dean and Baby: the soul, the heart and the body.
Okay, this is the last, last thing because I can’t help but write it … A human body doesn’t need wings. So, the feathered one is, in fact, not essential for the show to be complete.

Peter saying "I hate that you're making me do this!" when fighting Otto
Peter yelling "why are you doing this?!" when Miles is fighting him
Otto saying "you can't save me Peter"
"then I guess you'll have to save yourself"
Miles telling Peter "we've gotta be stronger than that! this time, you have to save yourself!"
Pete replying "he can't", Miles telling him that "he will"

if lu isn’t alive in s2 i’m simply going to die along with him but…
imagine cheng diving into photos he took with him just to see him again and get his advice and throughout the whole season we just see snapshots of their friendship in the past as cheng tries to solve problems in the future instead of them solving problems in the past and seeing snapshots of the future

Ahem …
Sam Winchester isn’t selfish. He literally gave up 15+ years of his life to go back to hunting, a way of life he wanted to escape since childhood, to be with his brother because Dean couldn’t stop. (Yes, I know he originally picked it back up with the intention to avenge Jess, but Dean had already lured him back into the life and he stayed for him.) He loves Dean, yes, more than anyone else in the world, but this is still a huge sacrifice, too. Even when he claims to love it or be fine with it, he always stipulates that it’s because it what his family (a.k.a. Dean) does, and that he wouldn’t do it without his brother.
In conclusion, Sam is not selfish but loves his brother more than his own freedom, safety, and life.
Goodnight.

well. that. that happened.
um. the show is over now.
it took me until 2am to finish it, again, and who is surprised? that’s right, no one.
anyway. uh.
soundwin kissed first and im dying.
and im not okay because attachment issues + graduations in any media = full blown mental breakdown
but like its fine
um. i have commentary on the episode but at the moment i need to process the fact that a) all of that actually happened, b) soundwin actually kissed, and c) the show is now over entirely and theres no more friday nights/saturday mornings of happy feelings from happy high schoolers in their happy band
and by ‘process’ i mean i need to go to sleep.
also i wouldve been content with the little cheek kisses we got BUT THEN THEY FULLY KISSED AND THEY KISSED BEFORE TINNGUN
WHICH MEANS, AS PER USUAL, SOUNDWIN DID IT FIRST

So I finally beat the Cuphead DLC a few days ago. Took me a long time since I just really wasn’t in the mood to play it. Plus with my hand issues, sometimes I get to worried about playing the game (as it does take a lot out of my hands if I’m not careful). Anyways, it was excellent! But the crackshot man, that’s such a good weapon and combined with my controller’s turbo button (which has to options, either hold whatever button you want to use OR it’ll basically press the button for you, the latter of which I used), makes the game so much more easier
I just went and did all the bosses from isles 1 and 2 and wow, it was fast. Like ridiculously fast. It may have been a long time since I fought those bosses, but I still remember their attack patterns pretty well and I already am decently good at the game but this made me feel like a master almost lol having both the crackshot and turbo really helps speed things up xD plus the turbo helps with my hands to, which was originally why I began to use it. Didn’t realize how much it helps
