#supernatural season 8

Help im in pain

NO SPOIL PLZ

Hi i’m on season 8 of my first time watching of supernatural and every purgatory flashback stabs me in the soul.

I’m on episode 5 and the destiel beautiful bullshit is killing me slowly and has left me screaming “BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!!!” at my laptop screen like a woman pleading for her lover’s life to be spared.

some quotes i’ve saved:

“I prayed to you every night, Cass”

“I was trying to get one step ahead of the monsters, to keep them away from YOU!”

“Cass, we’re getting out of here. We’re going home” (it’s giving Steve and Peggy-)

“Cass, buddy, I need you”

“I’m not leaving without you”

“we’re gonna shove your ass back through the eye of that needle if it kills all three of us”

PARDON ME BUT WHAT THE FUCK WHO ALLOWED THIS-

Goodbye purgatory beard, hello to the woman, the myth, the legend that is Naomi!!! While Ella was taking the screenshots for this one, she wearily said, “This episode is so gay...” Reader. This episode is gay as hell. Additionally, we are very silly on this one. Enjoy!

"He stays awake even after Dean tires himself out and falls asleep against Will’s chest.

There’s a bubbling heat between Will’s ribs and he has to clench his teeth to not begin crying himself.

The first man Will Graham ever wants to kill is John Winchester."

dean should've let sam complete the trials idc

#i KNOW it would have been out of character for him #in the spirit of staying in character this was the right choice!! #i just hate the fact that this was the right choice lmao #wanted to see what happens if they see it through #spn 8x23 #spn #supernatural season 8 #supernatural #sam winchester #dean winchester

Don’t get me wrong I love the biblical retellings of supernatural, but I wish they did other religious retellings thematically. Like imagine the Purgatory arc (boring) but Dean is searching for Castiel to bring him back to the lane of the living but doesn’t trust that Cas is still following him so he turns around and dooms him to stay à la Orpheus & Eurydice (exciting and actually tragic) instead of Cas just tossing his hand away to Brood™ about his sins.

Just to clarify, are we meant to like Amelia? Is she meant to be an enjoyable character? Istg if they drop some 'tragic' backstory to justify why she's a bitch I'm gonna go coo coo 💀

No need to get Jensen and Misha on board for Season 16. We’ve got all the talent you need right here in our coverage of 8x02. Btw, what do YOU think when we say imagine a really long hound dog??

Thinking about the way Jensen Ackles continues to characterise Cas as Dean’s ‘brother-in-arms’ and how it ties deeply into both the homoeroticism and the misogyny of spn. 

I love season 8 and I’m rewatching it right now and it just seems like such A Choice to not have introduced any female characters in purgatory. And then to characterise it as a ‘pure’ place.

They really just made purgatory into a homosocial space where violent contests of strength and will determine survival. This is...textbook hegemonic masculinity?

In this context, of course Benny is the companion they come up with. (No shade - I adore Benny.) He's an exemplary brother-in-arms. The wartime allegory isn't exactly subtle and it's clear that the writers and actors are very interested in exploring this space.

But in doing so they end up queering the narrative again because hey - their audience is savvy enough to understand that these cis-male-only hyper-masculine mythologies are closer to propaganda than vehicles for good story-telling.

And we know that excluding other genders from a narrative doesn't inherently diminish a male character’s capacity for love or tenderness or desire.

And so we end up with a driving narrative that feels deeply romantic: the single most important person in this world to Dean is Cas. It could not be more overt in the text that Dean's primary motivation is not getting back to the world or Sam - it's finding and saving his angel.

We’ve seen Cas as the object of Dean’s motivation before and we’ll see it again. But it does feel singleminded in purgatory in a way that I think the show only ever permits in this hyper-masculine space.

Marylin Frye puts it best: "To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex exclusively with women. All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men [...] Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving."

Purgatory is the stage on which Dean's performance of masculine heterosexuality is most visibly entwined with the show's misogyny and the result is deeply homoerotic.

And it explains, to me at least, why Jensen’s characterisation of Cas as a brother-in-arms feels both romantic and dismissive: it’s true even while it refuses to look at deeper truths. 

It describes a love so deeply overshadowed by a fear of femininity that the shadows of violence and death and sacrifice end up being its only ‘pure’ place of expression. And even there, it remains unnamed.
