Episode 85, 5.03 Free to Be You and Me

We all love this one for the wonderful growing relationship between Dean and Cas, and wail at the horror of everything Sam experiences-- from being force-fed demon blood, the compounding guilt, the fear that he can never get out or his life and destiny can never change, and his first face to face with Lucifer... it’s a big one.

How free are they, really? Is destiny still coming for them? Are they doomed to play out the Grand Narrative being written for them?

(points forcefully at the series finale and screams incoherently)

the tactile way Dean remembers or longs for Cas' touch

You really just can't unsee it once you see it though, can you?

Sam starts blaming Dean for what he's going to do (work with Ruby) way back in 3.09 because Dean isn't going to be around to be Sam's mommy, which is going to force Sam's hand.

After Dean comes back, Sam actually blames Dean for him working with Ruby by saying Dean wasn't there to protect him (4.04).

Dean repeatedly begs Sam not to work with Ruby and is ignored repeatedly (3.03, 3.04, 3.09, 3.16, 4.01-4.04, 4.12-4.22).

After telling Dean to open up to him and trust him (4.08), Sam calls Dean weak and pathetic for being traumatized by hell and says Dean is holding him back and therefore deserves to be lied to because he can't be of use (4.14) Sam says it's not what he really thinks when they both know it is (and Sam repeats it to other characters in 4.16, and 4.18) and then he admits it's the truth again to Dean's face in 4.21.

Sam accuses Dean of not trusting him enough (4.21).

Bobby blows up at Dean for not supporting Sam enough and calls him a pansy after Sam strangled Dean near unconscious, and tells him family is supposed to make you miserable (4.22).

Dean tries to reach out to Sam and Zachariah and Cas actively prevent him from doing so (Cas only at first) (4.22)

Zachariah (5.01) and Cas (5.02) both tell Dean the apocalypse is his fault because Dean didn't reach Sam in time to stop him from killing Lilith.

Dean says Sam hurt him, Sam is the one Dean depended on the most and Sam hurt him in ways he can't even voice (5.01). Sam apologizes, but then in the very next episode, shoves Dean into a wall for not trusting him like Dean is crazy and irrational when Sam doesn't even trust himself (5.02).

Sam says he thinks they should go their separate ways and is shocked when Dean agrees easily. Dean says that he spends more time worrying about Sam than he does doing the job right and time apart would be good. Sam reiterates that he's sorry and Dean gently says he knows Sam is (5.02).

Cas asks Dean if he's okay even without his brother, and Dean says "Especially without my brother. I mean, I spent so much time worrying about the son of a bitch. I mean, I’ve had more fun with you in the past twenty-four hours than I’ve had with Sam in years, and you’re not that much fun. It’s funny, you know, I’ve been so chained to my family, but now that I’m alone, hell, I’m happy." (5.03)

Sam says he wants back in. Dean objects, on the basis that he thinks they're stronger apart. Dean says they're each other's weaknesses and it's being used against them (5.04, but the weakness line is repeated from 3.03 and 3.16).

Zachariah pushes Dean into a future 2014 where Dean never met up with Sam again, and as a result, Sam said "Yes" to Lucifer, and billions of people died. All because Dean didn't want to be around Sam after being hurt and never reconnected with him (5.04).

Dean reconnects with Sam (5.04) even though he clearly doesn't want to, because the first case we see them on again, Dean struggles to trust Sam and leaves to go drink alone because he doesn't want to be around Sam (5.05).

Sam says part of the reason he went off with Ruby was to get away from Dean, because Dean is smothering. Dean is the problem in the relationship, because Sam feels inferior compared to him. Dean apologizes for being too smothering (5.05).

What does all of this tell you? Dean can't win. Dean will always be the bad guy in the family. He loves too much, or he isn't loving enough. Sam needs him and Dean wasn't there for him and so Sam went down the wrong path, but also Dean is smothering and Dean being smothering is the reason Sam went down the wrong path. Sam is not a trustworthy person, but Dean doesn't trust him enough. Sam not being trustworthy is Dean's fault. Dean doesn't deserve trust, but Sam deserves Dean's trust no matter what and not giving Sam his trust is the worst possible thing in the entire world and also again makes him smothering. The apocalypse is Dean's fault. Every single thing Sam does every single mistake he might ever make in his life is always at least partly Dean's fault and Dean's responsibility.

hey! pinned post. weeeeee

i’m basil! you can call me baz if you want, or eliot. doesn’t matter. i’m having a bit of a gender moment recently, but i’m some sort of agender,,, genderfluid,, trans dude thing. he/they is usually good.

things i will blog about/stuff you should know about me

-random shit on my dash. i Will reblog

-i am not a neil gaiman blog, but i firmly believe that gaimanblr is the best blr except for maybe the pure unadulterated chaos of spnblr

-soupernatural. i am specifically extremely deranged about tfw/tfw2.0/their extended found family character dynamics, and 5.03 & 5.04

‼️EDIT: I HAVE A SPN SIDEBLOG NOW @dean-smiths-suspenders it’s under construction and advice is appreciated ‼️

i really like music (i play classical and listen to … a lot of stuff), gender & sexuality studies, film lit, plaid flannels, uhh baked beans, neil gaiman’s writing (and terry pratchett’s writing), and biology. terfs go very far away. also due to my soupernaturalness i will say wincesties please also go very far away thanks

#i have no idea how to do an intro post don’t hit me #also #if you’re noticing I’m doing this after already having made over 250 posts #no you arent

I'm laughing so hard. In 5.02, Cas was like "Well trying to kill the devil is stupid" and Dean was like "Gee thanks". And then he said Cas's plan to find God was stupid.

THEN what happened? In 5.03, even though Dean thought Cas's plan to find God was stupid, he risked his life helping Cas trap Raphael to interrogate him about it anyway. At the end of the episode when Cas was losing hope because Raphael said God is dead and that Lucifer was probably the one who brought Cas back, Dean told Cas basically "SCREW Raphael what do YOU believe? If you think your dad is out there, go find him."

THEN in the opening of 5.04, Cas calls Dean on the phone and GUESS WHAT HE'S CALLING ABOUT. He's been looking into The Colt! He was looking into Dean's plan to kill Lucifer that Cas said was stupid. Now Cas is HELPING DEAN ANYWAY when Dean is skeptical about his own plan:

DEAN Okay, all right. I'm—I'm telling you, Cas, the mooks have melted down the gun by now. CASTIEL Well, I hear differently. And if it's true and if you are still set on the insane task of killing the devil, this is how we do it.

What I'm saying is: friends supporting each other!!! Friends helping each other with their insane stupid plans they both think are stupid!!!
