Supernatural Renaissance

but seriously

for numerous years i assumed Lich was the singular form of Lichen and my feelings were hurt when i found out

in elementary school i thought Adultery was like. boring adult stuff. figured it had something to do with taxes

lol

Family horror show is such an apt term for the show

actually supernatural saying alcoholism is a sign of a tough man who’s been through hell whereas drug addiction is a sign of moral weakness is very authentically american

one thing nobody mentions when listing the parallels between dean and ruby and the things sam lets ruby do because it reminds him of dean is that every time sam and ruby are in a car together, ruby is driving

it's so silly when people say john taught sam and dean not to cry, just look at how often all of them are crying in season 1, including john. same with the affection, the first thing he does when reuniting with them is giving each of them a hug. obviously john is very masculine, even harsh, but he's decidedly not unemotional. i feel like the 'drill sergeant' behaviors some people ascribe to him go way too far and don't match his actual character.

it’s always “he drank demon blood and had a hot demon gf!!! bloodfreak <3” and never “whose death was so unbearable that sam let go of his deepest childhood fear of being unclean and taint his body that way? whose absence ripped away everything that sam held dear because nothing mattered without him? who did the demon have to emulate to worm her way into his life and his confidence (and his bed)? whose memory was so inescapable that he was drowning in grief every second of every day? whose death caused such ruin to his being that avenging it became not only the only reason to live but also a cause worth sacrificing every principle he lived by?”

I was so terrified of Sam here

you know what, the kid!sam that exists in my mind and is in love with his brother does write angsty poetry in hidden journals. and he's angry but he's also sad. and he's bitchy and talks back but he's also sensitive and cries hidden under threadbare motel blankets. he's a sad weird kid who feels lonely. even when I think about canon kid!sam, more images of him looking dejected or lonely or resigned or about to cry come to mind than of him lashing out in anger. and I love his bitchy argumentative side but have we forgotten he's also sensitive. we're talking about the kid who cried when he discovered monsters were real, the kid who had an imaginary friend, the kid who couldn't read stories about holy heroes because he felt unclean and unworthy, the kid who wanted to be in the school drama club and whose english teacher told him he had a talent for writing, the kid who felt there was something profoundly wrong with him and could never be normal, the kid who prayed in secret every night, the kid who felt he was a disappointment to his father because he didn't want to be a hunter. that kid was more sad than angry. so I can see that kid!sam in love with his brother and being emotional and emo about it. I mean being in love that young already makes you act like an angsty sappy pining mess, imagine being in love with your brother. that sam rolls his eyes and slams doors, but he also spends hours looking out the impala's window while sad punk love songs blast through the headphones of his walkman. that sam crosses his arms and barks something at dean when he comes to pick him up from school, but what dean doesn't know is that earlier that day his little brother had doodled a heart around his name on his maths notebook before hastily crossing it out

this is beautiful

John smoked weed and took government issued meth in nam
