you know, surprisingly few kripke-era antagonists are primarily motivated by autonomy? like, the other motives i can think of atm are
monstrous instincts or pleasures (e.g., many of the monsters of the week, the benders, alastair, meg, three of the four horsemen)
revenge (e.g., gordon, lucifer, lots of the ghosts)
trying to live up to expectations (e.g., michael, jake, zachariah, ava (kind of))
fear (e.g., the girl from 'family remains,' bela, jake again, crowley)
law & order or fate or some other abstract but rigid dictate (e.g., many of the angels, henriksen)
avoidance or tiredness (e.g., raphael, gabriel)
loyalty to a god or god-like figure (e.g., michael, uriel, lilith, ruby, azazel, meg, alastair...most of the recurring demons, really)
the only ones that seem to actively want and pursue significant, meaningful autonomy are
crowley — whose motives go beyond wanting to avoid lucifer eventually exterminating the demons and extend into wanting to actually take charge of things
bela — who is motivated to get out of her deal, but seems to have thoughts about what life might be like beyond that, which isn't the case for a lot of characters motivated by fear, or revenge, or desire to escape, or anything else
lucifer — who is also motivated by revenge, but was originally motivated by not wanting to be made subservient against his will, and who now seems to have a plan for himself and the world that could potentially extend past winning
anna — who is in soldier mode by the time she's an antagonist, but knows about autonomy, and is explicitly working toward that
death — who is so much Bigger than any of the other characters, who is shackled kind of by technicality, and who is one of few to have ever known autonomy (although death does not do anything antagonistic in the pursuit of autonomy, so this might not be a fair inclusion)
arguably gabriel, after abandoning his fatalistic escapism (although again, i'm not sure gabriel really counts as a villain while pursuing autonomy; that seems to inspire actions that are beneficial rather than antagonistic to the protagonists, for him)

Okay I think I realized why I would never wish being deans girlfriend on my worst enemy but I have many, many ships with Dean and men. And it's because how deans women love interests tend to be. They're nice, normal if a bit weird women who take one look at the most conventionally attractive man alive and are like "okay yeah definitely" and they DONT know what they're getting themselves into as seen by every girl dean has slept with or had a flirtation with getting to know him and running away (RIGHTFULLY SO). Ships with Dean and men usually only emerge once they are fully aware of how Dean can be and they're all weird guys so like. They signed up for it. This is also why I'm not huge on deangarth. I can see it happening sure but why would you want to sentence Garth, the best man in this entire show rivaling perhaps only rufus (yes he's a better man than bobby) to having to deal with deans issue disorder
