Team Free Will 2.0 Here we go!

Here is the clip for when Jared speaks about 13.21 Beat The Devil and how hard it was emotionally to stay in that headspace for him.

No one protects Sam like Jared.

He also plays the network politics well (not as well as Jensen, but well) stumbling over the words until he finds “terrorizer” bc he remembers CW never greenlit the SA officially - despite all the innuendo and screenplay that says gangbang (changed to hatebang) and rapier wit and so many other things. I’ll make a post at another time.

Dean was actually

literally

a squirrel

and bonus:

Supernatural first aired on September 13, 2005. On September 13, 2025, the show will turn 20 years old, and we'd like to do something to mark the occasion.

SPN20: Supernatural Summer will be 15 weeks of celebration, full of opportunities to celebrate the show, its creators, and the fandom that grew around it.

All fans and all contributions will be welcome: any kind of art, fic, meta essay, gifsets, whatever. If you'd like to do decoupage to celebrate your favorite episode, we're here to cheer you on. If you want to rec your favorite fics and chat about your favorite episodes, that's cool too. We want fans of every character, every ship, and every era of the show to have a place in the fest, because we're all part of what makes up the SPN Family.

The full calendar of themes will be announced in January, with a Discord invite for anyone who wants to join in and start brainstorming ideas. The fest begins May 31, 2025.

Dean didn't understand why Sam left, which is why they had this exchange in the Pilot

DEAN: So what are you gonna do? You're just gonna live some normal, apple pie life? Is that it? SAM: No. Not normal. Safe.

It was not about having a normal life, but having a life where he wouldn't watch his family members die in front of him. With Dean being younger than him, he'd be more protective of Dean and more worried about Dean being killed, which would give him extra drive to get out of the life ASAP.

At the age of 14, Dean would be considered old enough to start hunting with the other two, and that would be another driving factor. Sam would worry about leaving Dean behind, because he knew Dean would become John's point man, as Sam had been at that age (or younger), but Sam would leave for Dean.

At 18, Sam would feel old enough to set up his own household and try to convince Dean to join him. He'd use his scholarship money and stolen funds to rent a small two bedroom apartment and try to convince Dean to come live with him.

Dean would refuse, saying that John needs them. Sam wouldn't press the issue at first because he would assume that, without Sam there, Dean would come to see what Sam saw: John's quest would get them killed.

The SPN Reference Desk is here for all of your nichest, most seemingly insignificant questions about Supernatural canon as well as comprehensive guides covering the basics in one single space. Unlike a fandom wiki, these guides are aimed specifically at the needs of creators and fan-fiction authors who want to dive deeper into certain topics like Baby’s specs, Bobby’s house layout, or how the hell the boys’ different guns work.

Types of Guides - SPN Reference Desk written guides - SPN Reference Desk screenshots - Art references - How-to guides - Other people’s guides

Reference Desk guides will be broken down into categories. Within those categories, each guide will be grouped by topic and tagged for easy access.

Due to the “work in progress” nature of this blog, categories and topics that are listed below but don’t have a link are guides planned for the future.

Locations - Bobby’s House - Singer Auto Salvage - Men of Letter’s Bunker - etc. Car Talk - Baby (1967 Impala) - Castiel’s Pimpmobile (1978 Continental) - John’s truck (1986 GMC) - etc. Weaponry - Handguns           - Dean’s M1911           - Sam’s PT92           - “The Colt” - Shotguns           - Ithaca 37           - Remington 870 - Ammunition - Blades - Magical weapons - etc. Lifestyle - Personal belongings - Travel - In-universe brands - etc.
