Things that make me love Dean Winchester so much and wonder how he is not everyone’s favourite character
He takes care of and is always kind to every kid he comes across (Lucas in Dead in the Water, Cole in Death Takes A Holiday, Katie in Swap Meat, Tyler in Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie, Timmy in Bad Boys, not to mention the big examples like Ben, Krissy, Claire)
He always tries to warn about and persuade people away from hunting for their sakes
All he wants to do is just. Save people. All of them
He only started outwardly caring about him going to hell and being tortured forever at the possibility of becoming someone who hurts others himself
He taught an angel love and free will by exemplifying those things himself
He made a friend in Purgatory
He goaded Eve Mother of Monsters into accidentally killing herself
He reverse-possessed an archangel and trapped him in his mind
He got thee Death to give him his scythe and his ring (twice)
He then took off Death’s ring, even though he knew it meant his deal with Death was off, to try to save someone
He wanted to use the Hand of God to save the people on the wartime vessel despite having known them for approximately half an hour
He told Bobby “What I do have is a GED and a give-em-hell attitude and I’ll figure it out” and didn’t even believe what he was saying
Desperate and beaten-down and backed into a corner he gave Sam a wink, looked Zachariah in the eye and stabbed him in the face
He crashed the apocalypse, featuring two archangels wearing his younger brothers’ faces, with Rock of Ages as his soundtrack and was ultimately the reason the world got saved
He literally just wants to go to the beach with his family. He wants to run a little bar called Rocky’s. He wants to mow the lawn. He wants the freedom to have peace.
He cooks for his loved ones he literally cooks for his loved ones
HE WUVS HUGS he literally will just hug people and cup their faces he is so affectionate
He goes all soft during one-night-stands and looks reverently at whoever he’s with
He takes ownership of every decision he makes
He couldn’t bring himself to murder an innocent woman even as a demon
He convinced Cole who was actively holding a gun on him at the time to let go of his years-long murderous revenge quest against him with nothing but his words
Literally under the influence of The-Curse-Of-Killing-Your-Brother, with Sam looking at him and assuring him he wouldn’t hate Dean, and Death behind him assuring him it was the right thing to do, he still couldn’t bring himself to do do it
Same with Jack, who agreed Dean shooting him would be for the best, who was a danger to the world and who Dean was furious at for having killed Mary, even after Chuck promised to “give her back”- he still didn’t do it, couldn’t do it
Even when falling apart and manipulated from all sides by powers bigger than him, when he had genuinely stopped believing he had any choices, he failed to follow Chuck’s story when reminded by Sam of who he was to him
Killed death, also twice; first to save Sam then to save Jack
He cried for the suffering of all of humanity when he met god
He saved the world with compassion, literally saved it just by reaching out to Amara
He said yes to Michael for love
When Jack had a nightmare he didn’t give him a .45. He told him he has them as well and reassured him
He named the dog miracle!!!
When offered a favour by Death he didn’t bargain for his own life, or the lives of the people he was grieving, he just asked her to release the ghosts of the haunted house he’d been investigating
He asked Chuck to bring back the birds. I don’t know why this one gets me so much but he.
He is humanity he is love he is free will, because all of those things are connected, and all of those things are embodied in him
