It was beautiful and sexy and cool until it wasn't (jack the godeater el rescate)

Because then it was as if someone airhorned directly into my face and then made me touch the very fabric of Hell, unfiltered, with my fingertips skinned down to raw meat

i think some people are taking dean’s general aprehension regarding jack as some kind of large homogenous mass of misplaced anger (often taken as “because Castiel :-(” but thats another problem for another time). Sam’s “explanations” of Dean’s feelings aid that but... it’s just sam’s words. and when you take everything into account, it falls flat and false.

In terms of interacting with jack, dean might be harsh and surely is unfiltered level of honest but he’s not mean, not cruel

where he really goes extra in terms of being rough is with sam. he is not stupid and he recognizes the difference between a toddler with too much power that should not be trusted  too much because of simple damage control

and an adult man who should know better but willfully ignores every rational argument because he likes his own narrative better (sam, who dances this dance repeatedly since near day one).

He’s not personally pissed with jack, surely not as much as at the very least sam (and some people) wants everyone to think. The bar scene is textual proof that Dean can relate to Jack, the promise he gives him is only confirmation of that. Dean’s been there in a way Sam hasn’t because burdened with a power near impossible to control both Dean and Jack wanted to stop causing damage and be stopped at all costs if necessary, while sam (and cas,while we’re at it) most of all wanted to be right and win, no matter the cost (and im not just pulling old dirt out, this is recent seasons too, ie. releasing the darkness or fucking with cosmic consequences).

He’s pissed at sam’s dance no. i don’t even count at this point. He might be grieving the loss of his family but he’s not stupid. I don’t think he buys the amazing uncle sammy thing - historically there is no reason for him to and there is no reason for the audience to do that, either. And here’s why:

- sam shot dean’s biological daughter, emma, even though the situations were near identical,

- sam never gave benny minimum of trust even though benny meant so much to dean and never betrayed him

- as recently as in s12 sam sided with BMoL who were clear about their intentions to commit all monster genocide regardless of whether they preyed on humans or not.

and yet! now all so suddenly sam wants to take jack under his wings and lavishes him with sweet words, ignoring any warning signs with spectacular ease. did he change his mind after 15 minutes with jack in a cell?

or is it about the possibility to harness his power (whereas emma, benny or any other nonhuman wouldn’t be useful like that) because he can do the thing where he can open the portal to the alternate dimension where mary is? (note how he doesn’t accept her death and the texts spends time to consistently point that out)

me:

i can connect the horrible scene with kaia with jack giving dean the vision that clearly hit him much more than sam

and put the 3.16 hell call back together with jacks power mangling biggest fears and desires until the people bearing them work exactly as he wants them to (kelly, cas, kaia, therefore also dean)

but like both the plan and its execution are so lazy and poor and if it turns out to not be in any way powered by mind-altering, sorry but it is gonna be a disaster bc sorry slapping the “dean would do anything to save family” is just lazy and show’s berens’ lack of competence and an oversimplified vision of dean

like

yeah dean aint just purity and roses but lemme remind you that he’s the guy who was capable of talking god and his sister into resolving their issues while he was very much on the doomsday clock and carrying a bomb inside of him, so no, altered state aside, dean would not violently threaten a girl with a bullet to her head just because she gave a solid no to engaging with their personal problems which is even more of an insidious bullshit writing choice on berens’ side if sam (who actually canonically is capable  of doing shit like this on his very own) gets to stay innocently shocked and terrified with dean “snapping” which is meant to give off the vibe that he would Never do this which is just plain crap?

in short bc life is crap and so is typing with claws

1. my takeaway from this episodes is that men are monsters

2. dean being an exception here not bc im biased but bc he was the one caring and understanding from start to finish. and only him

3. sam as always is insufferable but we reached new low. i cant believe how he bitched at dean for being depressed but now he’s doing the same arguments and demands dean to bend backwards for him and shut up bc Life Is Meaningless No Phone Just The Fax

4. men are monsters

5. hey so u know that narrative that keeps getting pulled that dean, and i quote, needs someone who Understands The Life and aint a civillian and is supposed to inevitably lead to destiel and only there? how about DONNA HANSCUM ADORABLE BUT NO SHIT TAKING HUNTER SHERIFF

6. like what the fuck did u see how sweet they are together? how soft? jesus fucking fuck??????? they could really be HAPPY together no lies no bullshit

- first of all. maybe instead of?? aiming for?? charlie 2.0??? but with more 2017 awkward? u shoulda?? not killed the original charlie??

- cuz man alice is “charlie to the maximum of tptb’s possibilities” [ok i know it’ll go above the heads of non communist poland cinematography familiar folks but im makin a reference here” BUT IT SUCKS

- also its no accident she eventually bonded with dean, bc were it sam, he we would shoot her due to his inability to see himself in her lol

- can this stupid kink where ppl point out how stupid dean supposedly is just die

- this was like “leverage” but tesco value quality

- i cant help but not know what the point of this entire episode was

- dean was so ultra super super!!!! i love dean!!!!!!! andi so relate to him not wanting to put the hand in the thing where there coulda been spiders. i mean, spiders, right? jesus.

- listen if the whole being a compass/vessel thing is not michael!dean foreshadowing, i will flip tables

- poorly and....poorly but.................someone at least vaguely remembered for once that dean has hell trauma? and put it on screen? yockey, that you??????????

- what economy do i live in that i have to be elated at bare minimum

- well at least...

a) dean made a friend

b) dean got pie and his fav energy drink

13/25 points on my  bad ep prediction bingo

was dean’s wet dream until it wasn’t

deans reaction to jack screwing up is sad but not surprising, topic for a whole separate rant

jack killed a person out of being thoughtless, he should not be coddled for that ffs

oh great some more caswashing. i wonder if the people u loved and killed would agree it was just a mistake, cas

considering all the creepy voyeurism cas pulled countless times, the fact that he knows what kind of sleeper dean is, is not cute. it’s nasty
