i wanted to draw some (OF THE MANY) valuable life lessons that Bluey has teached me, so here they are:
yes i cried watching all those episodes and while making this too lol
List of episodes i drew the scenes from (in order of apperance):
Muffin´s cone (S2,Ep43) - Army (S2,Ep16) - Bumpy And the Wise Old Wolfhound (S1,Ep32) - Sleepy Time (S2,Ep26) - Curry Quest (S3,Ep9) - Space (S3,Ep34) - Born Yesterday (S3,Ep6) - Bedroom (S3,Ep2) - Rug Island (S2,Ep10)
not to be weird about it, but something about the fact that in optimism it’s dean who notices that jack is still sick and asks him about it is so important to me. the camera lingers on his face while jack coughs and you can see how concerned he is — not in the usual SAMMY or CAS way — he still thinks jack’s just regular human sick. his expression is guarded but his eyes are so tender as he looks jack over. i obv can't remember the entire series, but i'm not sure i've ever seen dean look at someone like that. yeah maybe the cough has gone on a little too long and that's cause for concern, but it's not the end of the world (literally). it's so domestic, so fatherly, so normal. he's calm.
in the final scene, his face shifts from “mm whiskey” to “very concerned father” when jack starts coughing harder, and then “genuinely scared” when jack shows** him the blood in his hand. again, none of the obligatory trauma-drama like with sam and cas, no self blame (yet). he’s just responsible for his sick kid… and ooops he just ate concrete time to start yelling. bc it is spn after all!
then in ouroboros, when they’re at the first vic’s house with rowena and jack starts coughing, sam’s kind of politely glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, while dean just full on stares at him, waiting for an explanation. poor jack was probably smothered to hell by dean after he came back lol (after all he was wearing dean’s robe!)
** yes, shows him. at first i thought it was for the camera but the angle is actually him holding his palm out for dean to see. he finally tells someone what’s happening to him and it’s dean!
