can we, once again, talk about the fact that dean and cas were IN LOVE but also they were. best friends. dean on his knees crying saying you’re my best friend. they could talk to each other about the stuff that neither of them could talk to anyone else. they felt safe with each other they were like let me carry some of your burden!!!! it’s a privilege for me!!!
dean and cas love and trust each other unconditionally. they give and they forgive easily. there is never a debt to settle. never a score to keep. i'd rather have you, cursed or not. i prefer trusting, less dumb less ass. i'll go with you (again and again and again). i forgive you, i need you. of course i forgive you. of course i wanted you to stay. i've got you. i love you. etc etc. they are best friends first and foremost. they can talk to each other and be real. they know when the other is lying about being "fine" and they call each other out on it. and then they listen. they get angry sometimes, and miscommunicate often, but they are always approaching everything with the desire to understand, to work together. they worry. they make bad choices sometimes out of a desire to protect the other. keep each other out of a situation and out of the loop. take on the burden for the other. all these flaws and wrong choices are still rooted in love and care. they care SO much. that love and care is at the center of everything they do.
one of my silliest moments of 2023 was when i sat down to explain the cas au to my roommate and then opened the panel of donnie dying to show them and just openly started sobbing like was fully inconsolable. like sitting in our pitch black living room at 1 am and i am just weeping.
anyway here’s to more incredible rottmnt art and stories in 2024 let’s keep it goinnnnnn
forever obsessed with dean opening up to cas immediately. like he’s been taught to keep it all inside and just be a soldier and he did. he kept it all but cas asks once and he’s like what do you wanna know. remember that scene in s15 where they are sitting together after midnight everyones asleep and they are sitting close and drinking and talking. i bet they had lots of them together where they just. talk
