i love it when supernatural says out loud that castiel is doing something for both brothers and then frames the scene like this. sam completely blocked and hidden and dean front and center. i think this is a good metaphor for the way castiel views his actions and his feelings. in his head he’s doing things for the brothers. for humanity. but anyone else looking in can see that ALL castiel really sees when he’s doing these things is ✨DEAN✨

it's kind of crazy how eric kripkes writing never improved since 2005

Actually.... reading the spn pitch again... his writing got worse.... how did he get worse at this

day three hundred of having a fandom mutual: The Character probably gets vivisected recreationally. no doubt

a good soldier and nothing else.

Spn women who I know for certain would NOT wear makeup without the Ghostfacers effect: Mary (post-resurrection), Jo, Claire, Kaia, Anna, Amara (at least, in s11), Billie, Eileen, AW Charlie (any woman from AW just would not have time or resources to apply fucking makeup tbh).

wait this is so cute 🥹🥹

but... cas does owe dean something? that's a fundamental part of having and maintaining a relationship with someone. they're not strangers. they're friends, partners, allies, family. there's this common perspective that i don't really understand at all that dean just inexplicably gets frustrated with cas because cas doesn't ask dean's permission to do things. it's such a bad faith reading of the show to me and also just... not how relationships work? dean's not mad because cas does things without dean saying he can do them. he's mad because cas disappears for days/weeks/months/a whole fucking year at a time without checking in. because cas piles a bunch of stuff on his plate that he's not equipped to handle. because when it all goes to shit, which it inevitably does, someone else (read: dean) has to figure out how to clean up his mess. because friendship is a dialogue that cas often refuses to participate in while still expecting the benefits of the relationship. i'm not saying that dean never re/acts irrationally and/or disproportionate to a situation when it comes to cas but i am saying that it happens way more sparingly than fandom seems to think it does. cas does owe something to dean, common courtesy at the very least.

this is exactly it. dean's not even allowed to have thoughts/feelings/wants/needs of his own so the idea of him having any of those things outwardly in a way that might even touch someone else is unthinkable cruelty on his part apparently

he's only a year old. and he's dying. but one of his dads teaching him to drive is still the best day ever
