my heart like one good rifle

sam has abysmal gaydar but is convinced his gaydar is great because he knew the blue haired girl working at his campus cafe at stanford was a lesbian so hes like i know these things. deans gaydar is functional but it only works if the person in question is a man flirting with him. jack has powers where he can probably tell if someones gay but he hasnt fully mastered said powers and is also mostly just trying to not kill people with them. castiel has powers that allow him to tell if someone is gay and he uses it every time he looks at someone which is why hes the only angel who stares at people for uncomfortable amounts of time (the reason he does this to dean so often is he has to occasionally check to make sure dean is still gay). naomi has a pretty good gaydar when shes figuring out who to schedule for a lobotomy. rowena has spent years perfecting gaydar so she can find men out of crowleys league and say ach fairgus why cant ye get with a nice strapping lad like that and he stews in anger. mary winchester has the best gaydar on the planet and can clock it in half a second but only after she was resurrected. amara gave her that power for fun.

#happy pride to this shot

Demon dean and regular dean really disgust each other like damn bitch you live like THAT? but for completely different reasons

ok wait also. the famous bobby chasing john off the property with a shotgun line IS explained in the Supernatural: Bobby Singer’s Guide to Hunting book. Somewhere around the mid 90’s john drops Sam and Dean off with Bobby to go on a hunt in Montana and then essentially drops off the face of the earth. he’s gone for so long that Bobby eventually decides to tell Sam and Dean that he must have died. sam apparently takes awhile to process this and goes very quiet and dean gets really angry. bobby says this is the biggest fight he and dean ever had. then dean disappears into the night and returns hours later with john in tow. dean’d tried to hitchhike to montana on his own to find john and accidentally caught his dad, totally unharmed and completely fine (capable of answering bobby’s phone calls, bobby takes care to mention john did own a cellphone at this point), on the way back. john packs the boys into the impala and tells them they’re going to stay with somebody who “actually cares about them” and bobby becomes so enraged that he pulls out the shotgun and starts firing.

The thing about early supernatural is that it's very easy. It puts a theme in front of you with a big flashing neon sign that says "THEME" and then it says "special reward to the lucky audience member who spots the motif" while waving around a red flag that says "MOTIF" and while all of this is happening you're crouched in the shallows sieving flecks of gold out of the river silt and thinking wow pa's gonna be real proud when I write him and tell him what I found out west

They should have had Dean have a hookup during the divorce arc but it ends up being incredibly unfulfilling and in the next scene we see him hovering over Cas's contact in his phone but turns it off instead of calling. And the show doesn't acknowledge this ever again.
