One thing I hate about spn is how unsympathetic they are towards cas’ complicated relationship with the angels. Every plight cas has makes him choose between the Winchester’s or the angels, it’s a very “your either with me or against me” mentality. I understand because it’s the dean show that they don’t really care about the nuances of still loving a family that has done you wrong but if they allowed cas to be even half as understanding of the angels as dean was with John despite the contextual horrible abuse they both faced then maybe the show would’ve been better. It treats cas as stupid for trusting the angles to any extent when it simultaneously treats dean as justified and complex for trusting and loving John. I want to steal cas away from this stupid show

#also like the thing is it’s heaven as an institution that abused cas – not individual angels#individual angels are largely in the same position as him / as he was#and he shouldn’t have to abandon them just because the institution as a whole is broken#like it’s not just about still loving a family that’s done you wrong it’s Also about loving the family members#who are still being done wrong!#dean’s / the show’s whole ‘winged dicks’ thing is incredibly simplistic#spn

It's so sad to see a Samgirl who hates Cas or a Casgirl who hates Sam.... They're literally kindred spirits...
Like what if you had this immense faith in a god you've never seen only to realise he has never been there for you.... and what if you tried to do good except failed again and again and hold so much guilt over it... and your attempts at free will and independence lead to disastrous consequences... And you raise a son who reflects the parts of you that you've hated and struggled with and you decide to love him for it... And sometimes you fail him and hurt him but you continue trying for him..........
Supernatural is like..... there's three categories; civilian, hunter and monster (not-people). They are, for the most part, exclusive, but not inherent, which means that characters can and do transition between these states. Mainly you see with civilians who, when exposed to monsters can become a hunter. However if monsters destroyed their normal safe domestic apple pie picket fence 9-to-5 civilian lives, then they MUST become hunters, sworn to protect the American Family, Society and values. They protect for others what they themselves have lost and can’t again have. Hunters can't revert back to civilians, you see this with Sam in s1 (even despite the fact he hadn't actually experienced that civilian life) and s8 but also Dean in s6. There's a before where you were innocently living the domestic normal life with your pure beautiful wife or girlfriend or mother but when that's destroyed, you can't rebuild or join another, that's against the rules (important to the imperialist themes in Supernatural)
#ughhh my brain is. not working but i will try to elaborate later#no but even while jess does die and it forces sam back into the life it's not the same because sam wasn't a civilian even if he wanted to b#'even at stanford i never quite fit in'#and dean's s6 arc is literally about how he can't assimilate. that once someone crosses the line from civilian from hunter they can't occup#that space again#spn#supernatural#dean winchester#sam wincester#btw all these roles are dehumanising<333
I think Sam dog-ears his books. Sometimes he'll resolve to get into the habit of using bookmarks or sticky notes to try and not ruin the book, but once again will dog-ear the pages when he's too engrossed in a book and too busy mulling what he's read with what he knows that he doesn't notice till his book's full of turned corners and he gives up

“had to leave his family” is so crazy in the context of a rich guy going to yell at a 20 year old for saying genocide is bad. you mean he went on a work trip
tl;dr: Rachel Zegler (Snow White in Disney's latest live action flop) posted the words "Free Palestine", so Marc Platt (the producer) flew across the country to personally tell her off. She didn't take the post down. His most irrelevant son is currently taking up his cause on Instagram.

look I'm not smart enough to make some bold statement on a literary motif about what this is but there is something so undeniably tragic and dehumanizing and so god damn relatable that to every man in mary's life, she becomes their sacred unblemished holy mother. she can and has never done any wrong. she is the devoted daughter, the good wife, the loving mother. she does not exist outside those personas and she is glorified in them. her story, until she is resurrected for dean, is told solely through the men in her life who exist past her. and when she speaks her own story and breaks free of these boundaries imposed on her, she's villainized for it!! she is not allowed to contradict the narrative designed for her!! cause it ruins it for the men who have deified her!!! that's why I love her resurrection and how she is the antithesis to the history fabricated for her by men who never really knew her, not fully. samuel never understood her want for a normal life, john never knew the past she brought with her, dean has this idealized toddler vision of her. they all craft this romantic portrayal of her so distanced from any kind of human reality because then they can justify their actions and reactions on the basis of appealing to a fake effigy. samuel justifies his collaboration with crowley in the hope of seeing his good little girl again, john justifies his entire fucked up widower life and his fucked up children's lives on revenge for his good little wife, dean's entirety is predicated on the aborted childhood and how it begins and ends with a dead mother. it's wild. she is given so little agency in her narrative and we bought into it so that when we faced the reality of her, we haaaated it.
(im not including sam in this cause he never had this idealized version of mary nor did he spin a tale of who she was - he deferred to john and dean, who he felt had more authority on who mary was, and even felt distanced from her. he states explicitly that he doesn't even know her. and when she does come back he is able to give her space and distance but support in the way that dean couldn't cause he was far too close to the tragedy.)
