driving out into the sun

swan song is a good episode BECAUSE yes it is sad yes it is emotional but then you zoom out and its like wtf these are just a bunch of guys in jeans

maybe to make sense of the deangirl version of sam and dean's childhood where john was constantly beating dean while sam was not only being pampered but was also completely unaware of what was going on in the same motel room you have to imagine that every time it was time to beat dean john would give sam a few quarters to go to the vending machine and have Sammy Soda Time. it was official and they named it but only john and dean knew what it really meant but not sam. because sam was having a refreshing Sammy Soda Time

the thing about the kripke era is that from s6 onwards the guns stop needing to be cleaned, and there’s always ammo and salt rounds, and joints don’t need to be popped back into place after fights, and when someone walks into a room the people there weren’t busy doing anything else unless that’s the point of the scene, and interactions with one-off characters no longer require those little thankyous and hellos and byes and excusemes that are barely noticeable because those interactions are just transactions to move the plot along, and driving around the country hardly ever involves small bits of logistics like buying gas or charging backup phones or something needing to be replaced, because the world keeps getting bigger and bigger but it’s their world, just scenery for the ones that matter to move around in, and unless showing the small details of everyday life serves a specific point, they’re no longer things that simply happen, casually a part of the day-to-day
