and if i said this was true of most of the show as well which is why it makes for (unintentionally) very effective horror as a whole

I need to [remembers that I am not joking about suicide anymore] rewatch Supernatural

maybe lucifer never even told azazel to give sam demon blood and azazel just caught, like, every fourth word and misunderstood the whole plan. your honour in his defence he was busy texting

Purgatory isssss Vietnam and i will not be convinced otherwise!

in this essay i won't because i'm not american and am not equipped to root through the various generational traumas the vietnam war inflicted on america and how that impacted American Masculinity but like,,,,, it's there! it's super there. idk if this comparison is super obvious if you are american but i'm going to explain myself anyway

(before i start, i will be talking about the idealised and fetishised idea of the vietnam war, not the actual realities of the actual real conflict. this post is about how the spn writers are weirdo american men, not geopolitics)

eye mean,,, obviously the racism that runs through all of spn- there are creatures living alongside us who look like us and talk like us but are actually Dangerous Monsters Who Must Die- but keyed up to 11 because this is a land of monsters/non-humans/them-not-us

and as a part of that, we never see any child monsters in purgatory despite child monsters existing and also dying. because this is the Ideal vietnam which is only a wild battleground and not a place people, families and non-combatants live. only populated by savage non-americans who are hell bent on killing 'Our Boys'

benny fits into this too. being Other but also an ally. not someone whp can be entirely trusted at first and definitely in it for the personal gains that Fighting For the USofA could bring him, but through their shared experiences bonding. y'know, he's one of the good ones! like the (north? i think?) vietnamese allies america had on the ground

even washing all the colour out of the scenes until it's almost black and white??? like the footage that was broadcast to americans of the war?? i'm connecting the dots

purgatory not as something you beat but something you endure and then escape?? literally it is an idealised vietnam war were you don't have to confront that america super didn't win because the victory and horrors came in getting out

the way post-purgatory dean is treated like a Movie Veteran with his new brotherhood forged in blood and his thousand yard stare and his sullen drinking (all portrayed by jensen ackles who mustn't look any worse than slightly dishevelled or muddy in any shot) and that whole 'it was purer there' bullshit that i have definitely seen in other media portraying vietnam vets. they really gave him glam war trauma and it feels uncomfortable. it feels fetishy

not going to go further than "i think american men who didn't go to vietnam for whatever reason (including age! the lack of a big existential war to go fight in has really done a number on the self-perceptions of generations of american men) have a real chip on their shoulder about it and a resulting pretty gross mythification of the vietnam war because of it. maybe it's because they felt isolated from the Manly Men they idolised irl because of that lack of trauma?" when theorising WHY they did this because, again, not american.

TLDR later season dean winchester really was the writer's fetish doll to be The Most Masculine American Man and it's weeeeeeiiird!

Sam’s confused consternation when Crowley tries to flirt with him tho

[sammwitch]

actually like as a samgirl I also think gadreel should have hung around and helped out more because I would love to see him complete the trifecta. sam turning a corner and almost bumping into gadreel in the library five feet from where he'll work with lucifer and 20 feet from where he'll work with toni. also a huge win for me because I Know dean would feel extremely defensive and personally attacked by sam's discomfort and I think the atmosphere in that room would be nauseating.

i see a lot of (wonderful, godtier) thoughts on here about sam relapsing with the demon blood during the demon!dean arc and how that could play out. i love it, BUT

Sam possessed by demon dean

thank you for coming to my ted talk

#you could do soooo much with their relationship #and sam's autonomy #and dean circumventing sam's autonomy #sam keeping dean from hell by housing him in her body #sam #who overcame possession by LUCIFER for dean #sins shared are sins halved <3 #sam winchester #dean winchester #demon dean #mark of cain #spn #supernatural #not wincest #would the powers come back? #a demon's vessel's blood becomes demon blood when they're possessed #sam+demon blood= profit

people being positive abt early seasons sam so true but.

anyway pining for gadreel in the bunker again. I just think it's so sexy of sam to be that way. literally cas made him life-threateningly insane and the people mary is working with tortured him but he still has to plead their cases to dean bc he doesn't get the luxury of anger on his own behalf <3 sam grabbing dean to stop him from killing gadreel who committed atrocities against sam and has quite literally never done anything to dean except lock him in a room for 30 seconds <3 they should have dwelt in that for at least a season
