OH MY GOD

20 years ago today they invented shadows and silhouettes on the cw show supernatural

why tf was it superwholock and not twinfilesnatural

I do think Sam has for lack of a better word a gifted kid complex about Stanford and gets a lot of self esteem from being the Smart One to Dean's Dumb Jock and that's he's a little elitist and disdainful of the whole gas stations and dive bars vibe that hunters have and likes having read books that nobody else has read and is constantly humiliated by the fact that he hasn't and will never achieve traditional academic success bc he doesn't want to be seen as a dumb hick, he wants a teacher figure to tell him he has 'so much potential', he wants to be the smart one to make up for feeling like there's something fundamentally wrong with him. and I also think that Dean has been seen as a dumb hick his entire life and nobody has ever told him he has academic potential and he is extremely bitter and resentful about this but at the same time plays it up and makes it a part of his identity so nobody can hurt him with it esp in contrast with playing off of sam. and I think dean acts dumber than he actually is and keeps it close to his chest that he actually reads so he can fit in better with the good ol boys and perform his version of masculinity more effectively. and I think he pretends to get things wrong on purpose so sam can correct him so he can call sam gay for knowing what cinderella is bc he is insane. and I think he starts referencing books openly in s4 specifically just to get under sam's skin bc he's mad at sam. which works.

if supernatural was good it would be called the x-files

imagine if supernatural had 1 good poster design
