#amara

actually it's NOT an evil cursed amulet it is a normal, uncursed, and maybe even nice amulet and it wants you to refer to it as such

like i really can’t emphasize enough that amara is structurally not a love interest for dean in any way, and the pull that he feels towards her is clearly not romantic in nature. what she IS is an unsubtle metaphor for suicidality. she’s the call of the void. the draw dean feels to join with her is the draw towards eternal peace and permanent annihilation of the self (in a way that regular death isn’t when you chronically come back to life). the shame he feels about his desire for her is shame that he feels a desire to give up, to give in to eternal nothingness. dean fighting against amara’s call is him fighting against the depression he’s been dealing with intermittently for many many years! just because it’s more allegorical than in season 2 or season 5 or season 7 or season 13 doesn’t mean it’s not there.

I always think its really funny when people try to say that "if there's one thing I've learned in all my years on the road, its when someone is pining after somebody else. follow your heart" and people think its about amara. like I don't know if we were watching the same show, but dean spent the whole season pining after someone and it sure as shit wasn't amara
