I already knew the trials would kill Sam before it was revealed in 8x23. But because plot they made the boys not figure it out for awhile
The tablet says, 'Whosoever chooses to undertake these tasks should fear not danger, nor death, nor...' A word I think means getting your spine ripped out through your mouth for all eternity
Spn 8x14
Okay at first you think "fear not" means they don't have to worry about those things happening BUT then it gets oddly specific by mentioning the spine thing. Don't worry this oddly specific statement on a prophecy tablet totally won't happen at all!
Also the tablet says fear not danger and yet Sam faced a lot of danger during the trials
So fear not really means "this will happen if you do the trials and you need to be the type of person who can face that bravely otherwise you will fail the trials
There is approximately a 6 month gap between 8x05 and 8x23 and not once! Once! Did they think damn that rip my spine out through my mouth sounds oddly specific? 🤔 I wonder why it was written at all? On a prophecy tablet 🧐 maybe it is a prophecy?

supernatural s8e5 blood brother (w. ben edlund)
let's see what sort of bad takes i can have today!
SAM
I don't know, Dean. I mean, you did try to kill his mother.
DEAN
I was trying to kill Crowley, okay? Who happened to be wearing Kevin's mother at the time. Well, there's a difference.
SAM
Apparently not to Kevin. Oh, I know. Maybe because – oh, yeah – it's his mother.
i'm here for the bickering but not whatever replacement-wife-dog drama is actually going on underneath
benny feeling like ruby 3.0 (meg briefly held 2.0)
DEAN
Hey, the trail is dead, but the room is paid for. You got some research to do, and I got some personal crap I got to take care of. That's all.
SAM
What does that mean – "personal"?
DEAN
Did you have a stroke? Vocabulary? Personal, as in my own grown-up personal – I don't know – crap.
SAM
Damn it –
DEAN
What, Sam? Last I counted, you took a year off from the job. I need a day.
the affront at dean having something private, which they're the ones that have surrendered their privacy in order to be insane about each other, and when they start hiding things everything goes to shit. sigh
objectively, i can only imagine the bond dean would have made with benny after being basically in war with him for a year without breaks. like lifetime, cumulatively, spent time in the trenches fighting with sam even might be less than the amount of time they're telling us he and benny were killin stuff together, so i'm gonna give that.
of course doesn't deal with the conflict caused by failure to communicate with sam which truly is evergreen
BENNY
Oh, your work here is done, Dean. You already saved the day. You know, I got my, uh, deal, and you got – what'd you call it? A family business?
yes, that's it. family business!
CASTIEL
Well, I think we're clear for the moment. It does present a curious curl in the metaphysics, doesn't it? If you murder a monster in monster heaven, where does it go?
great minds
DEAN
Listen to me, you undead blood junkie, I'm the one with the mojo. I'm the one with the plan. Cas... we're gonna shove your ass back through the eye of that needle if it kills all three of us.
BENNY
Obviously, I'm less than comfortable with that.
fair, benny, fair
these prompts for sam's little flashbacks are so goofy. i am going to sit outside and use my laptop boop boop. oh, an ice machine..... 🎶 memory, all alone in the moonlight 🎶
remember when it was cheerfully bright while also a little hazy, and i had a dog? and i fixed things for a living? and was normal?? dreamy
BENNY
Boarded, burned, and buried at sea. My nest – that's how we fed… How we always fed. We kept a tight little fleet, maybe a half-dozen boats. Nothing ostentatious, just pleasure craft. I must have circled the Americas ten times during my tour. A few of us would act as stringers and patrol the harbors, looking for the right-size target – fat, rich yachts going to far-off ports.
they said eat the rich 💁
DEAN
Vampire pirates? That's what you guys are? Vampirates.
BENNY
You know, all the years we ran together, I can't believe nobody ever thought of that.
DEAN
What do you mean? It's like the third thing you say.
BENNY
No, it isn't.
dean bringing the awkward as ever
BENNY
Anyway…our father – he was a jealous god. He kept the family together but kept us apart from the rest of the world, always at sea. I always did what was best for the nest… till I met her.
fits right in with the family, daddy issues all around
deleting the text before sending it to sam 😔 so close and yet so far
hey, benny's lady was in the expanse
the expanse s1e6 rock bottom - athena karkanis as octavia muss
SAM
A friend? Dean, you don't have any – all your friends are dead.
DEAN
That's not what I called to talk about!
they're kind of hamming it up but it's just sad. everything about this
SAM (on phone)
I get the separate-lives thing, but this is a hunting thing, and we need to find that line –
separate lives since when
BENNY’S MAKER
But she meant everything to you. If that's all I could salvage from my wayward son – the woman he defied his maker for – I wanted someone to remember you by.
lol wayward son
AMELIA
You come from nowhere, you appear to be going nowhere, and you've, quote, "seen a lot of stitches." It's all pretty solid creepy.
that was cute but there's something about how she's playing this that gives me strong natalie portman in garden state vibes? is she manic pixie dream girling? it's weirding me out.
AMELIA
I used to – have someone, I mean. But that's over now. It's gone. You know what that's like, don't you?
maybe so!!
and now sam's freakin out because dean's in trouble and he's not there to help, so is this when he learns the lesson that he actually does want to stay with dean? since the almost-heart-ripped-out incident wasn't enough. oh, not if benny and dean take care of things and sam's got no saving the day to do. may get to hear the 'go hunt with benny instead' argument after all
music swells after dean kills benny's monster lady, okay. benny sounding ready to die, okay.. flashback meteors of black goo shapeshift into dumbass leviathan okaayyy
that was a nice effect with the little slowmo going for a weapon, dean shaking his head, situation defused
BENNY
I can see you two have a lot to talk about.
dean's in troouuble. if you want sam to stay with you, you can't be hiding stuff, man.
