Had An Absolute Feral Reaction To The Idea Of Jess Discovering That Sam Has Very Little Experience Of

dni lists don't work and i am well aware of this but just know that if you are a zionist/pro-israel and/or you think the israel/palestine situation is a "neutral situation" please know that you are extremely unwelcome here and will be made to feel that way. free palestine

Lol and hit CAs with a vehicle

Don’t you hit your faves with a car every once in a while?

I feel like, with how natural this seems for them, they were definitely acting as federal marshals as teens and retorting with “Aren’t you a little old to still be working out in the field?”

Dean Winchester & hug dynamic analysis

I was thinking about how whenever Dean hugs someone he's almost always the one hugging the other and how this links to his psychological trauma of always being the caretaker of people, making himself bigger to protect them.

Because that's how Dean sees himself, as a shield for others, and then I thought about how Cas actually is the shield, and he's HIS SHIELD, specifically, the only one who's really there to protect HIM, which is why it hits so much when we see this:

The way Cas wraps his arms around him, trying to protect him with his whole body--that he'd use as a shield and give up in a second if he could spare him from any pain and save him.

(for context: Dean was about to go use the soul bomb on Amara there, it was a suicide mission)

Bobby is another one that hits, he hugs him as the big hugger because he's his father, he loves him and he's actually here to protect him (and Dean LETS him -barely, but he lets him *and Cas* - in a way that he doesn't let Sam)

I watched a compilation of Sam & Dean hugs to check if i was right about it, but it's almost always Dean the big hugger with Sam, except when he's about to die or Sam sees him alive again after losing him.

Even then, Dean mostly tries to hug Sam as the big hugger anyway, with at least one arm, like a way to comfort him, making him feel protected, like his body language is saying "I'm here, I'm okay, I'm still strong, i can still protect you" (because their real father failed and Dean thinks it's his job).

He rarely lets himself be the little one hugged with Sam, unless he's barely conscious. Which is why it kills me so much more now that in this moment (s14, when Dean was going to lock himself in the Ma'lak box cause he was possessed by Michael) and Sam has a desperate breakdown and punches him (to stop him) he forcefully hugs him as the little hugger, the way Dean always kept him, like a way of saying "I still need you to protect me, please don't do this to yourself".

In the scene below he gives Sam his blessing to do a dangerous (possibly suicidal) mission, and one of his arms is down, but the other one tries to stay up--he's forcing himself to do it and he struggles because he still wants to protect him, but (as the seasons progress) he slowly becomes more prone to let go.

So in this view the hug dynamic becomes an indicator of how Dean sees Sam (and himself) and his protector role, how adult and self sufficient he considers Sam, and how much he lets people around him take care of him, lowering his walls and letting himself be hugged.

This is also why i think hugs from characters like Garth or Charlie are so special, because they're just like us: they see Dean and they just know that he needs to be hugged a lot, and that he's not used to it, so they just go for it-- and it's so normal and kind and spontaneous that Dean's just not used to it-- he doesn't know how to respond (especially with Garth, at the beginning, but as the seasons progress, he learns to, and he even initiates the hug eventually).

I love the hugs where they're 50/50 (one arm up, one arm down both), feels like they're equals, both taking care of each other. I feel like with Sam and Dean, this indicates a healthier dynamic, because Dean lets go a little of the role that was imposed to him and manages to see Sam as the strong individual that he is. But the same applies to 50/50 hugs with other characters, like with Cas, where I feel like it testifies how equals they feel in terms of being fighters, there's a show of respect of each other's strength that transpires by the gesture (which is even more astounding considering that Cas is literally a powerful angel).

And just to end on a destiel note, I'd like to note the possessiveness and protectiveness of Dean (rightfully so) whenever he finds Cas after he thought he had lost him, and how that translates into his body/hug language:

trying to explain that there has never been a single instance in the show to indicate that jack is intended to be a child/toddler/baby in any way and that all canon actually makes it pretty clear he’s supposed to be a teenager/young adult is like trying to explain that the cheese is under the sauce in a Chicago style pizza

hiiiii i want to hear about your thoughts with jack and death in particular (your posts are fascinating when youre dissecting him like a frog in a bio class <333333)

you're asking the right guy about this.

i think people forget that a huge part of jack's character is also in part how accepting and ready he is of death. he is pretty actively suicidal several points throughout the show!

going to sound insane here but i think the best showcase of jack's passive nature to his death is not in s15 where he's doing it in self-sacrifice. i think it is s14e20. moriah.

we watch jack actively kneel in front of dean. he tells him he understands. it mirrors back to s13e02. what is jack? he is a monster to himself. he is everything unnatural. unhuman nature is an episode title and it's all about jack. too angel to be human, too human to be angel, too wrong to be good. that's his own view! he welcomes death because he was never supposed to exist anyway! he's fine letting dean kill him there because he thinks dean deserves the chance of putting down another monster of the week.

dean doesn't. his free will wins and his love for jack wins. jack still dies, he just didn't die to the person he would prefer to die to.

Now I cant stop thinking of demonic Sam post demon blood addiction and killing Lilith. Cas said the amount of demon blood that Sam would need to ingest would change him irreparably yet Sam was normal post s4 finale. Maybe he was thinking of Lucifer but I doubt but God clensed him so maybe he fixed him but eh. So Imagine Sam being permanently marked by the demon blood but not entirely, like it's just subtle enough when he's not drinking it, like his iris are more yellowish but still his usual colour, his pupils are always dilated and theres a thick ring of black around where his iris meets his sclera (whites of his eyes) and when hes drinking demon blood or using his powers the black expands like a usual demons.

Sam has blood that reacts to holy water which makes sam really nervous around other hunters because if the water gets in his wounds hes fucked. Sams able to see hellhounds and other demons who are possessing people. He can walk through most devils traps except when hes been drinking it.

dean walks into the war room one day to see what seems like jack and cas glitching in and out of the bunker while they point to different parts of the map table and dean is like guys what the fuck and cas is like i'm showing sam and jack my favorite points in world history and dean is like uhhh i don't see sam??? and jack is like oh yeah we left him at the petersen house in 1865 he really wanted to watch a play there for some reason and dean on a verge of a heart attack turns to cas like you took sam on a field trip to watch lincoln get assassinated???? and cas just deadpans no i left him there he wanted to take pictures
