I'll preface this by saying my version of Season 1 is the show's Season 3, if that makes sense. I start there, so I just call it Season 1, 2 and 3 even though in the show and in canon, it's Season 3, 4 and 5.
Season 1:
Chapter One
Bonus Chapter
Chapter Two

I’m not exactly a Destiel hater but some of the things the fans say is hilarious.
“genuine question not even trying to be petty (yet) but like how are ppl still saying dean is 100% straight after 15 seasons ??? like… based on what”
Based on Jensen Ackles being certain that the character he played for 15 years is straight. That’s what.
I understand people wanting gay representation in Supernatural. There’s nothing for the gay and queer fans, really. I understand where people are seeing “subtext” between Dean and Cas. But people who go red in the face saying that Dean is bi/gay… it’s a little too much for me.
It’s the same icky feeling I get when I go to the Shadowhunters fandom and girls are mass producing fanfics where Alec is bi/straight and has a girlfriend. That’s not his sexuality.
I talk about characters who I wish were bi/gay. I talk about characters who seemed bi/gay.
But I don’t agree with the “extremists” because I’ve seen how far people can go with it. The Destiel fandom are the most guilty. I’ve seen some harass Jensen at conventions, I’ve seen them slander him and call him homophobic. I’ve seen them try to insert themselves in his marriage with his wife. I’ve seen them wholeheartedly ship him with Misha and believe they’re supposed to be together. I don’t need to say why all of that makes me livid and uncomfortable.
There are fans who are respectful and know the difference between fiction and reality, of course.
But the louder voices, who are frankly unwell, turn me off of a lot of non-canon gay ships. And it’s always, for some reason, girls and women who are screaming over these gay men. It borders on fetishisation a lot of the time.
Teach You A Lesson is just Taxi Driver but that one episode in school is the whole show.
I’m still enjoying it, but it is a slight rip-off. But with how many revenge shows exist now, it’s hard to be original.
2x21 // 4x17
You’re tough. You’re smart. You’re well-trained, thanks to your daddy. Sam – Sammy – you’re my favorite.
Save people, maybe even the world. All the while you drive a classic car and fornicate with women. This isn't a curse. It's a gift. So for God's sakes, Dean, quit whining about it.
“john winchester did the best he could to raise sam and dean while being part of the life” john winchester burned his bridges with nearly every hunter he came across so severely that it led to sam and dean being almost completely isolated from the hunting community
dean: “what, was there an article in the demon hunters quarterly that i missed?” (2x02)
sam and dean, outside of the few friends john managed to keep over the years, have no connection to other hunters. john found out about the supernatural by himself; there was no hunter there to give him the truth is out there speech, mary died and over the next few weeks, he went looking for answers until he found missouri who filled in the blanks for him. but missouri isn’t a hunter so he was still by himself figuring it all out. he didn’t have a partner, a teacher; he entered this new world by himself and had to figure it out on his own, all with his personal vengeance that he didn’t want anyone else’s help in getting. he had a chip on his shoulder
and he raised sam and dean in a mimic of that isolation
throughout s1, we get a few name drops of people sam and dean reach out to to ask for help - caleb, who john goes to for ammo, jefferson who we never see, (1x10) and pastor jim who young dean is told to call if john doesn’t come back from the shtriga hunt and who he leaves them with after sam is hurt (1x18) (but that could be because of location since he lived three hours away from where they were). these are people john himself calls “our friends” (1x21). we also meet travis in 4x04 who they seem to have been close with - enough for him to know sam used to be a mathlete and for sam to doubt travis being unable to find someone - but haven’t seen for at least 10 years for an unknown reason. they are also, importantly, around john’s age; they’re his peers, people who have around the same level of knowledge as him
we also see a few people he never introduced them to; chiefly, missouri and daniel elkins. people who are older than john and people who are great sources of information when it comes to hunting. experts you could even call them. it’s even implied elkins was the one to teach john about the life because he has a journal just like john’s and leaves a message dug into the floor of a p.o box “just the way dad does it” and john himself says he taught him a lot about hunting (1x20)
at some point, john meets bobby and they go to his house in between some hunts. but they lose that safety, and bobby himself, all because of john. john and bobby have an argument and john takes them away from one of the few constants they have and they don’t feel secure enough in their welcome to reach out to him again until they decide the situation is life-threatening enough. but crucially, not life-threatening to them; they stayed away when sam started getting his visions, when dean was dying in 1x12, even throughout the whole season looking for john. it was only when they thought john would die if they didn’t do something more, when they were out of their depth and needed help, that they tried to reach out to bobby
(dean: bobby, thanks. thanks for everything. to tell you the truth, i wasn’t sure we should come
bobby: nonsense. your daddy needs help
dean: well, yeah, but last time we saw you, i mean, you did threaten to blast him full of buckshot. cocked the shotgun and everything
bobby: yeah, well, what can I say? john just has that effect on people (1x22))
john raised them to only trust each other, to only have each other’s backs. he kept them on the move, never putting down roots or building a connection with the people around them; he certainly never tried to introduce them to the community he knew existed. and he couldn’t even say that he didn’t know because he used to be close with ellen and bill. ellen and bill who ran the roadhouse. a place known to have hunters pass through. a place sam and dean have never heard of because john decided his feelings meant more than their safety
he never even mentions bill and ellen, not to sam and dean and not in his journal, because of his guilt over not saving bill and not wanting to face ellen, who by her own admission felt john “was like family once”
(he was probably seeing them as his own mirror; a partner and parent taken away and he couldn’t save them so now he’s doomed them to his life, never mind that it wasn’t the same circumstances and they were all aware bill could die hunting. he let his trauma and his guilt override ellen’s autonomy and decided to end their relationship so thoroughly he never even mentioned them again for at minimum a decade)
because of that, he also never mentions the roadhouse to sam and dean. but the roadhouse isn’t the only place of its kind; gordon says “look, you’ve got your roadhouse connections, i got mine” (2x10) and ellen says the roadhouse is full of other hunters with their own connections. there are places hunters can go to buy and exchange information, ask advice about difficult cases, just rest knowing there’s other people in the room who can watch your back even if you don’t trust them. they never know those hubs even exist. all because of john
he taught them the family business; he made them feel like they were the only people in the world capable of saving people, placed the fate of everyone on their shoulders and their’s alone; “‘course i know what you’d say … your happiness for all those people's lives, no contest. right? but why? why is it my job to save these people? why do I have to be some kind of hero? what about us, huh? … why do we have to sacrifice everything, dad?” (2x20)
the first thing we hear ellen say is “john, it's ellen. again. look, don't be stubborn, you know i can help you. call me.” she is begging to john to listen to her because she knows something that can help him kill the yellow-eyed demon. and john knows that, which is why he keeps the voicemail
but he didn’t want someone else to figure out how to kill the demon; he didn’t want someone handing his revenge to him. he wanted to do it by himself which is ultimately why he abandons dean and sam over and over again; he can say whatever he wants about keeping them safe and how dangerous the demon is - which dean literally calls out as a bunch of crap - but the real reason was because he wanted to do it by himself
because he was a selfish man; mary was his wife, the mother of his sons, and this is his pain
“you ever notice dad had a falling out with just about everybody?”

I stopped my re-watch of Supernatural at Season 8 because everyone was annoying me.
The run-down is this:
• Season 6 was okay
• Season 7 was boring
• Season 8 is ridiculously forced
A lot of things weigh the show down post Season 5. Killing off side characters who actually matter (Ellen, Jo, Rufus, Bobby). Getting rid of overarching plotlines (demon blood, powers, John and Mary haunting the narrative, Michael vs Lucifer). Introducing piss poor love interests who are supposed to symbolise the perfect life but we have no fucking idea who these women are (Lisa and Amelia). Making the villains incredibly cringe, try-hard and not funny (Dick Roman, Lucifer occasionally and Crowley in some occasions).
Like give me Azazel, Alastair or Zachariah any day of the week over the villains in the later seasons.
The whole Sam and Amelia thing was the tipping point for me. The INCREDIBLY forced and quick enemies to lovers thing was strange. And the disruptive flashbacks—
Don’t even get me started. FLASHBACKS OF NOTHING, by the way. Sam looks at a car and he’s suddenly remembering back to a time that has nothing to do with a car. It’s so contrived. And the dog? It’s like, okay, how hallmark do we wanna go with this?
Lisa and Ben weren’t THAT bad because they were already an established pair. From Season 3. And the idea of Dean stepping up for a kid who, in my opinion, is biologically his, isn’t that unthinkable. What IS random about that whole thing is the fact that OUT OF EVERYONE, it was them who he went to and wanted protection by the angels for. As far as Dean knew, Ben wasn’t his, and Lisa was just some sex-based fling he had when he was younger. There’s nothing there. His best love interests were and always will be Cassie from Season 1 and Jo. Anyone who reduces Jo to a “sibling” — including the writers or cast — were blind or stupid.
I don’t know if Jensen and Jared were just uncomfortable with putting any kind of “want” into scenes with their love interests because they’re honest, loyal husbands but, I don’t know, a lot of it felt very stiff.
Besides all that, the constant wedge that is being pushed between Sam and Dean (where a lot of it feels out of character or blown out of proportion) was grating.
Oh, and while I like Garth and enjoy a more dorkier hunter, the episode where he was adopting Bobby’s way of speaking and his role in the community, was again… contrived. It felt awkward and none of it, including Dean’s anger, felt genuine. I understand why Dean would be pissed, but watching it play out, it just wasn’t done well. I feel like if they were gonna do it, Dean should have kept his mouth shut for the majority and then snapped and pulled the cap off Garth’s head and went in, in one moment instead of shooting him down every 10 minutes into the episode. It was all obviously just a thing to say “hey, we haven’t forgot about Bobby, look!” But it could’ve been done better, in my opinion.
I am a Negative Nancy, so people are free to attack me, but I hold this show to a high standard because it’s my favourite and has been since I was a teenager. If there’s anything I was obsessed with or nerded out over, it was this. I dress like Dean, for crying out loud. He heavily influenced me growing up. All of it did. So, yeah, I expect better from the writers and the production. And ultimately, on this rewatch, realised I was right to never watch past Season 5.
So, now, I’m rewatching True Blood — as if it wasn’t obvious.
being human random take
I'm not the only one to think this, I'm sure, but the reason why Hal, Tom and Alex feel so different to Annie, Mitchell and George, to me, is primarily because for them, it isn't about being human.
Tom tries to improve himself, whether it's vocabulary or his know-how, sure. Hal tries to act more civilised and in-control, sure. Alex tries to... well, nothing, besides trying to resolve her own death and open the door. Sure, they have the job at the hotel. But this trio doesn't fight tooth and nail to have all that. We don't see them have go through the awkward parts of life. It's all quite simple and isolated. For example: they get the jobs no problem, or they don't date different people.
They're not agonising over the unreachable concept of being human, not like the original trio were. It consumed them. For Hal, Tom and Alex, being supernatural is the focus, in my opinion.
They don't fight outside forces tearing them apart, they fight amongst each other.
I don't know how else to put it into words. They obviously still try to be human, but there isn't so much desperation or effort. And I feel like they somehow didn't take advantage of the fact that these three aren't fixated on being human. They wanna change, they wanna fix themselves, but it's not to the same point as the original trio. They could've had more conversations (and better plots) surrounding the idea that they don't mind being supernatural, for the most part.
Tom IS the wolf and it works well for him. He's a warrior.
Hal is crippled by his hunger, but it doesn't drive him to murder every single time. He's capable of holding back and just feeding on someone.
And I think, if the show had gone on further and things had developed, Alex would have adapted to being dead if it meant she could still have a semblance of something with Hal.
Call me nasty or misunderstanding of her character, but her relationship with Hal was always the most fun, interesting part of her character. Like how Alex going on the date with Cram, for example, wasn't exactly to feel human. Not really. It was a lust-filled get-back at Hal. They were flirting through conflict.
young Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the death of me 😍🔥👅💋🙊
Every time I see things like this, I just get down on my knees and praise the casting for Supernatural because...

Sam, Amelia and the dog is just a copy of Dean, Lisa and Ben.
Instead of a child, it’s a dog.
Down to the picnic blanket date stuff.
It’s the EXACT same.
Sam deserved way more than that shit. I’m not the only person to say that. I felt the same way years ago. But it’s just lazy writing. Total lazy writing.
Sam could’ve been trying to help Kevin. He could’ve been alone with the dog, like when he first ran away from John. He could’ve been literally doing anything else.
Okay, I seriously, seriously dislike the writers for just blatantly painting Sam as this ignorant, unsympathetic ass who didn’t even try to look for Dean, but also left a 16-year-old boy to fend for himself with demons.
I get it, he might have turned his cellphone off and just didn’t hear the messages, but come on…
Sam’s like a dog with a bone sometimes. You telling me that he felt helpless about not finding Dean and Cas, but didn’t help Kevin — who he actually knew was with Crowley?
Sam Winchester, who was showing up drunk and devastated, at the crossroads all the time, bartering with demons to get Dean out of Hell?
Did they just completely forget who Sam was?
ALSO, Sam saying “I found something I’ve never had before, all my life” — uh… he had it with Jess.
Okay, I really like the soft version of Meg and Castiel. Caretaker and Crazy!Cas is a really good combo — interesting, even.
Dean Winchester referenced True Blood.
I can die happy.
Having the Leviathans act like normal humans, bitching about coffee orders and stuff, was a poor move. Makes them so not scary.

okay i saw your canon/non canon fave ships post and you might not acknowledge legacies but jed and ben are such a refreshing and good ship i swear
I’m sure they’re great! I’d expect Legacies to have more gay ships because it’s the younger generation and a more recent show out of the “trilogy”.
But like I said, I have no interest in watching Legacies as a whole because it’s, in my opinion, trying too hard to suddenly be like Supernatural or even Shadowhunters with all of the creatures they suddenly have. It became… ridiculous. They should’ve stuck to vampires, werewolves and witches.
Have you seen ‘em? Yeah.
