So, when we first watched the finale, my husband was like “it was fine, I don’t get why you’re THAT upset. Sucks Dean and Cas couldn’t be together, but eh.” (He did, however, hate the Sam wig).
But the more we talk about it, the more he’s like “Jesus Christ, the fuck were they thinking?!”
He was also watching DeanCas fanvids last night
So now he’s back to early-morning rage-tweeting at the CW about their treatment of Cas ♀️
are those two dudes from supernatural ok? it’s been like 14 years. there’s high schoolers younger than their contract. i don’t think i’ve ever seen them in any other shows. are they allowed to leave? do they feed them?
when supernatural began airing:
tumblr wouldnt exist for another two years
bush was still president
lost hadn’t aired its second season yet
youtube wasnt even a year old
the #1 song was kanye west - gold digger
ariana grande was 12
taylor swift wasn’t famous yet
paris hilton was at the height of her fame, kim k was not famous yet
jesus christ
This is as jarring as that history post talking about how MLK and Anne Frank were born in the same year only i actually lived through it
This makes me ✨uncomfy✨
I was a junior in high school when this show premiered.
I am now an almost 32-year-old married mother to a 7-year-old. I have been in my chosen career for a decade.
My son is closer to the age I was when I started watching it than I am to that age now.
Someone give me some ointment for my achy knees while I process this information.
Hello, beautiful people, I just hit 700 followers!
To celebrate, because I’m back on my DeanCas bull shit and #cantstopwontstop, send me asks with your headcanons or mini prompts, and I’ll write you a drabble!
Absolutely a sucker for the “ARE YOU HURT” once over. The wandering hands, frantically checking for blood or pain just SOMETHING. ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of what they might find while searching. The panicked look on the face of the person doing the checking, the glossy, confused “I’m fine” from the person being checked. HOO BOY just inject that shit right into my veins
I was struck with SUPER random inspiration for a fic, and now, after 6 months I’m mad again that they couldn’t have even bothered to use a single ‘Hello, Dean’ sound clip from one of the 12 seasons he was in to give them a happy en—

Hello, darlings. It’s been a minute. Been dealing with some personal things. But this is too important not to reblog.
My dear, sweet, beautiful friend and her family are in need. Anything helps. Please, please, please do what you can. She deserves all the kindness in the world.
Bringing something “full circle” is a great device for thematic elements over the course of a story. Bookending can be great.
However, years of rigorous, detailed, painful character development and movement of stories should not, under any circumstances, be destroyed for the sake of bringing something “full circle.”
That’s not a satisfying ending. That’s saying to your viewers; your readers; your fans, “Remember all that time you invested? Eh, didn’t matter. Train’s right back in the station. Hop on off. Sorry for bumpy ride around the block.”
The cause and effect is negated. If you start a story, throw in a bunch of emotional, situational, and personal development in the middle, you should end up further down the road than where you began. But if you start a story and are able to take away all of the middle and you still end up right where you began with no betterment or differences save for the age of your characters… that’s not a good ending.
It’s like you make a sandwich just to remove all the filling and eat the bread. Why make the sandwich if you just wanted bread?
Why create meaningful relationships and focus large portions of entire seasons on them, only for them to be completely erased in the end? Why focus so much on free will and finding who you are and being happy despite everything, only for him to die unfulfilled, alone, and co-dependent… right where he started?
I saw a post somewhere and if I find it, I’ll tag the OP, but it went something like this:
Sam, if the last 15 years never happened: White picket fence, wife, dog, kids, etc.
Dean, if the last 15 years never happened: Dies alone on a hunt gone wrong.
Sam, after 15 years of character development: White picket fence, wife, dog, kids, etc.
Dean, after 15 years of character development: Dies alone on a hunt gone wrong.
No matter what the issue was and how or why that was the ending we got… it was deeply unsatisfying to someone who has been on this journey since day 1. Since the absolute beginning. I’m not discussing this through the goggles of a ship. I’m speaking as someone who appreciates well-written stories. As someone who invested twelve years (eighty percent of the entirety of the show) in a character and the development of a deep, meaningful relationship (whether or not you view it as romantic).
There was a lot missing from that finale. A lot. I can make jokes about it all day, but overall, I’m deeply disappointed and hurt by whatever went down behind the scenes for that to be the final product (something, I’m certain, we’ll never know).
I’m done beating the dead horse. I’ll carry on (heh) with my fic writing. Because no matter what happened with that finale, I will never not love these characters. They’re in my heart and under my skin (literally, I have Cas’s tattoo on my arm) forever.
Guys, I got to call out my racist, bigoted father-in-law on Facebook this morning. And it was *chef’s kiss* perfection.
All I had to do was open Pandora’s box, and people went IN. Like little dinosaurs teaming up to take down the big behemoth. It was beautiful. I’ve been wanting to do this for so long. And you know what?
2020 took something else from me: All the fucks I had left to give.
