JO: You ripped off a cement truck? DEAN: I'll give it back.

when young Dean Winchester met a guitarist in a dark alley one fateful night in Illinois, he lucked into a hyper-competent, wholly compatible creative force to be reckoned with, and a best friend besides.

now, a decade and change and a lot of paid dues later, Band Name Here is finally hitting the big time. trekking state to state via tour bus, they're not so much rockstar glam as they are gas station coffee chic, but it's hard to complain when their shows are selling out and there's a plucky journalist on their heels penning a spread for Rolling Stone.

except their professional breakthrough is taking Dean dangerously close--like, Titanic, meet iceberg close--to a personal one, and the lines between best friend and something-else but not-quite are getting blurrier by the sound check.

if you love it when Dean manages to be charming while also conducting unimaginable psychological warfare primarily against himself, with predictable fallout, you'll wanna grab your tickets now!

aaand, the art:

(apologies for lack of tattoos, above was the submitted piece!)

Doctor Who fans when the show loses most of its budget:

The majority of hunts Dean went on were alone. He did the witness questioning, the research, the puzzle solving, the cemetery digs, the monster hunts alone.

Which puts two things into perspective. The first is that Dean is very very good at outsourcing. One scene that comes to mind is in 1x16 where Sam teases Dean for calling another hunter to uncover some lore. He didn’t have a partner ever to help pick up the slack when shit hit the ceiling (on hunts with John, Dean is playing support in every avenue) until Sam started hunting full time and was able to help provide support via their mutual partnership.

The second is that Dean is putting in a performance specifically for Sam for two entire seasons straight. The long winded sighs, the digs at Sam being a “college boy nerd,” pretending to hate reading, downplaying his interpersonal skills and empathy towards civilians.

It’s a facade. One entirely catered towards Sam to make him feel more comfortable, and like Dean needs him there. He spends most of 1x11 lamenting that Sam isn’t there, to Sam but also in general because he misses Sam.

And like, there isn’t even really a point I’m trying to make here. It’s just that s1-2 Dean (first season in particular) is written so insanely well. Especially in retrospect of later seasons. The first time we see Dean let his game face drop is so telling of the character we get for 15 more seasons.
