Kind of funny. SPN was supposed to end in s5, with Sam in Hell, Cas in Heaven, and Dean on Earth, living with a wife and a son. But it ends after ten more season later with Cas in superhell, Dean in Heaven, and Sam on Earth, living with a wife and a son. Like some fucked up game of musical chairs. Except the chairs are never taken, the song remains the same, and they’re just going in circles. Anyways, Happy November 19th.
I was randomly thinking about this little tidbit again and realized I never posted this video on here, so I thought I'd give you all psychic damage tonight.

Your misery’s the whole point! It’s too much fun to watch
Themes include: Chuck won, Dean Winchester is doomed by the narrative, it runs in the family, daddy issues, the cycles of violence, Dean never wanted the life he had, destiel is canon but Dean never got to say it because Chuck is in charge, & nothing ever really ends 🫶🏻
Carry On Wayward Son is a fan thing. The song shows up twice in the show. 10x5 Fan Fiction and the finale.
The interesting thing about it showing up in Fan Fiction is that the kids in the musical sing it. Like the song has a deep and personal meaning to the in universe fandom. Which means Chuck must use it for something significant in the books. Carry On Wayward Son is a Chuck song through and through.
But with The Winchesters we got Led Zeppelin. For the first time ever we got Dean's favorite band. Playing while Mary drove Baby on her way to save the day.
This is literally Dean picking the music. He's rewriting the story in this particular universe. He's throwing the last remains of Chuck out and shutting the door behind them.
But then we have Jack. Jack who is dressed wrong and acting wrong and speaking wrong referencing the song. The song that represents our fandom, yes, but also the fandom Chuck made for himself. That is Chuck's music trying to force Dean back onto the path Chuck laid out.
But, I think it's pretty clear that Dean is going to Ramble On. He's clearly got some sort of scheme going with Bobby.

I love the interaction between Chuck and Becky. Someone else did this analysis but they were right, this is like the fans (us, Becky) and the writers (Chuck), talking. Like we are successful and love Supernatural for what we made it and the writers/producers come crawling back, not understanding that we don't want the dumb story they wrote, we want the one that exists in our head. And because they are the writers, they can write a dumb ending they KNOW we are going to hate (Becky hating Chucks ending).
in-universe, chuck was trying to write rpf fanfic. he was trying to make the world act out his rpf fanfic
the only episode of the show where they complied and gave him the story he wanted was 15.20, because he tricked them into surrendering their free will by convincing them he was defeated and they didn't have to fight it anymore
this isn't a new revelation, i'm just pissed off every time it hits me again
I simply don’t like when people act like what happened to Jack is what should have happened (as if the show didn’t deliberately spell out it would be Bad beforehand!), or like we can hand-wave GodJack as being fine and good in a continuation as long as other ~more important topics~ like destiel are eventually addressed.
Jack’s fate is the crux of the tragedy of the finale. Supernatural is a show about parents and children, and that cycle of violence remains unbroken. Jack was forced to become like his grandfather (the cosmic Father of the universe) because that’s who his fathers needed/wanted him to be. Jack shouldn’t be seen as an afterthought or a side note. He’s the thematic center that ties everything together, including the queer family structure of destiel.
So here’s my hot take: whether or not they go fully explicit with any kind of Chuck won concept (and they don’t necessarily have to)… any continuation must address that what happened to Jack isn’t a good thing — for him, for their family, or for the universe since the show stated God shouldn’t have personhood — in order to truly be fulfilling.
Reasons I think Jack is actually Chuck pretending to be Jack, coming from someone who has not watched a single episode of The Winchester’s and only knows about it from gif sets and posts 
1. He does that little thing that Chuck does when he’s being a smug bastard where he kind of glances up to the side and pulls in his lips, making the white people face TM
2. He dresses a lot like Chuck, I mean, when have we not seen Jack dress like the odd hippie kid from an 80s sitcom?  I feel like him all the sudden just wearing a tan suit jacket is really out of character. 
3. The fact he quoted carry-on my wayward son, I really don’t feel like Jack would know that song, and we know for a fact that Chuck has associated the song with his books because in the musical episode, they sing the song
4. If it were really Jack, he would’ve immediately ran right up to Dean and hugged him not just stood and stared at him, Jack is a sweetie pie and likes to show affection. He wouldn’t just look at Dean like he’s a coworker
5. He didn’t give us his “I eat nickels” vibe
So, my running theory is that when Jack absorbed Chuck’s power, he was just essentially possessed by Chuck, because if we’re going off a philosophical standpoint, in order for a being to be god it can’t be a being with power. It has to be the physical embodiment of that power. So for Chuck, just to be a being with power would contradict him being God (though I don’t think that the supernatural franchise has looked into philosophy that much tbh) anyways, I’m insane
