characters who try so very hard to look like a Bad Boy™ and fail spectacularly bc their heart is just so so big are everything to me actually

dean consistently shoving handfuls of passed apps and other free foods into his mouth at every opportunity you will always be famous for being ostensibly adorable but actually completely devastating if you think too hard about it!

live by the sword die by the sword. sleep by the sword. eat by the sword. fuck by th

I haven't watched an episode of SPN in ages, but I was just struck by some musings on the difference between the way Sam and Dean view the world. In particular, I was thinking about the scene where they call his voicemail and get the "This is John Winchester. If this is an emergency, call my son, Dean" message and just. One brother hearing another rejection of himself in favour of his brother, and the other being saddled with not just another responsibility, but the hopelessness of having to be the one others ask for help, rather than being able to ask for help himself... idk. It just sums up their relationship really well and also makes me incredibly depressed.

Dean Winchester does not know how to have a normal friendship because his only 'friends' growing up were his family, Sam and John, because John isolated them to keep them compliant. This means that when Dean starts making friends post John's death, he treats them like family, and his treatment of family is an intense devotion that he would lay down his life for. He loves his friends and Dean Winchester's love is fierce and all-encompassing. All this to say, of course all of Dean's besties (Cas/Benny/Crowley) fell in love with him? These lonely interlopers who do not quite fit into the categories laid out for them, who are set aside from their peers and left out in the cold of only observing belonging but never touching it. Of course they felt the warmth of Dean, who feels things like a wildfire, and threw themselves headfirst into the blaze?

dean just absolutely ripping purgatory apart, vampire side piece in tow, terrorizing and slaughtering every monster in his path in a desperate search for His Angel was one of the sexiest if not Thee Sexiest story arc in the whole damn show and i turn into a wild animal every time i think about it

Writing From Dean's Perspective Is Incredibly Easy and Other Signs You May Have Countless Undiagnosed Mental Illnesses
