the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it

this is supposed to be what was ship that was actively queerbaiting in the show. i’m intrigued

Oh! I love that one ship...

You know the one with the repressed bisexual 80's leather wearing charmer with daddy issues and a million dollar smile and the autistic repressed gay twink who wears vaguely vintage clothing with sassy mannerisms and avoidance issues!

(the game here is guess what ship im talking about)

hunter!castiel u are so deeply loved by me

Dean literally has the heart of a gay man

*talks myself down from the The Horrors by remembering that Cas Fucking Helped* I am centered I am at peace I create my own path and walk in it fearlessly

we're totally getting a canon kiss before the end of 2026 im so serious

I need to say something and I am so super serious about this...

Dean Winchester in Season 1 episode 12 of Supernatural, Faith, where he is dying so is slightly pale, dark eyes, messy hair and wearing a hoodie with a coat over the top of it..

That is the physical embodiment of perfection

Faith Dean be like "Must be rough. To believe in something so much, and have it disappoint you." And later literally God be like "I know you had a complicated upbringing, Dean, but don't confuse me with your dad."

lesbians will look at them and flip out ( i am lesbians )

you are all welcome to elaborate in the tags!

Faith, Supernatural S1E12 Miracle Man, The X-Files S1E18

Where Are The Archangels & Jesus?

Seriously, none of that adaptation BS if you are adapting a work of Christianity these figures are important. They also should have been shown in heaven if they showed the rest of the angels. Also again I was waiting for their depiction since so many fanon showed them and their relationship with Lucifer. Seriously, if Vivziepop is going to pick and choose it just further shows how she's terrible at understanding Christianity. Also again Christ not being there would kind of put a damper on things because his whole things was saving humanity from hell and he totally would be for it if he learned about what Adam was doing.

Dean being 😟✊ over Cas
