DEAN WINCHESTER in one random episode per day ‣ 268/327 13.20 UNFINISHED BUSINESS

they're so insane they don't even know where they end and the other starts. dean's actions and choice of words: "i do care about what happens to my little brother," over "i do care about what happens to you." we all know that his protection is out of both his selfish desire of seeing sam as someone he needs but it's also because he sees sam as an explicit extension of himself and as a person that belongs to him. to the point where he feels the need to/he feels he has the power to/thinks he has the privilege to control his death & fate. and honestly based on the narrative he literally does. then sam proclaiming that they will either figure it out together or die together, literally admitting this developed view of dean as a person synonymous with himself, a single person with one fate. the idea of sam's adoption of dean's perspective of their relationship—manifested within dean's explicit possession of sam and sam's view of dean as the same being as him

trust me this is canon
