Not only should Dean Winchester have been allowed to continue wearing rings, bracelets and necklaces, but they should have given him iron rings, on account of the fact that that means he could punch ghosts

Castiel is like what if you were going through puberty and the discovery that your parents are flawed individuals but you were billions of years old and an atomic bomb. And every test you failed really was the end of the world and every time you break the rules your parents really are gonna kill you and your best friend is the weird kid that all your other friends make fun of who is the first person ever to show you kindness and everyone keeps saying you have a crush on him and making fun of you both for that too. And by 'making fun' I mean 'trying to kill'.

Ultimate clingy Dean during the rescue of Cas. He has to go into the empty himself to find his angel because the earthbound spells aren't working. Eventually he does find him except it's just his grace, the body he was taken with nowhere in sight. That's fine though, Dean's there, Cas can use him as a vessel and they'll figure it out later. No Cas, it's fine, I know you won't hurt me, I trust you, let's just go home. So Cas possesses Dean but it's not like possession, it's partnership. Something in Dean finally settles because Cas is here and he can't just disappear again, nothing can take him from Dean, at least not without him knowing. And Cas gets completely overwhelmed by the everythingness of what being with Dean like this means, all his love and anger and desperation. They're clinging to each other but neither can tell because everything's getting mixed together and they have not talked about the confession. They get back to the bunker and Cas' body is there because the empty spit it out as well, and now everyone's waiting for Cas to jump back into his body, but Dean feels Cas pulling away and he just. panics. And locks Cas in the freezer in Rocky's

Will never not be normal about how both John and Sam's voicemails have a 'call dean, he'll handle it' clause, meanwhile dean had a network of phones he kept up with and maintained, and considering how often we hear the 'this is dean's other other phone' voicemail people will call through the network expecting that he will eventually pick up

Your name is Dean Winchester. You are 38 years old. Your life partner of several years is off doing who knows what, who knows where and usually this wouldn't bother you because he does this, but he's not answering his phone this time and he's not coming home. When he does eventually come back home, all he has is a shit excuse for why he was gone, but when you talk he says something that sounds like a promise that he'll stay and you believe him. But he's a liar. And he steals something valuable from you and is gone again. Next time you see him he has entered into an emotional affair with a pregnant woman he didn't know existed a year ago. You beg him to talk to you, to let you all work together and he refuses. He has chosen their family and their promises of a future over anything that you and yours have built with him over the last near decade. They get a house with soft drapery things and custom murals where they've planned their rest of forever together. It doesn't include you. His room in your house sits barren and unused. When you finally catch up to him again —because of course you were going after him, of course— you have no time to talk about anything and. He dies. She dies. Two other people who matter to you a great deal die, all directly caused by the existence of their child. You're left almost completely alone except for your brother and this kid, and your brother (who has no idea the amount of energy and money and effort and love, how much of yourself, it takes to raise someone, because he's never had to before, but you have) is getting mad at you because you don't want to raise your dead long term life partner's affair baby. You want to kill yourself. Your name is Dean Winchester. You are 38 years old.

The amount of macguffin shenanigans surrounding Dean early seasons is so funny. The righteous man is the only one who can start and stop the apocalypse? Must be Dean. The Micheal sword is the only thing that can kill Lucifer? That's Dean too. You need an extremely powerful amulet that can detect God? Well Dean's been wearing it everyday since he was nine. Only a true servant of heaven can kill the whore of Babylon? Oh I guess Dean's got that down also. The most important object in pretty much the whole universe? Yeah that's Dean's car. You need something to give you the strength to break out of possession and take hold of your body again? Well, how much do you love Dean Winchester?

Foundational to Dean's whole parentification and abuse is that John was a good guy btw. Not just that but a hero a great hunter and competent and could be/was a good dad. And people tell him this over and over again, both his enemies and allies, strangers and friends
