hi again!! 2 things:
1. i was wondering your opinion on dean pulling a gun on Kaia that one time? that scene makes me sooo uncomfortable & it feels out of character for dean to do that to a kid.
2. i was wondered if youve ever heard this song--i am Obsessed with it: https://youtu.be/0Tl9gSq71Dk?si=WPKkz7-_0YbjRQHB
Hello! So I remember feeling that way the first time I watched 13.09. It's been a while now since I rewatched season 13, but I do remember on future watches, that I came around to it. Unlike what I was bitching about last night, I feel that what happens with Kaia is much better motivated. While absolutely out of Dean's typical character, it is intentionally so. It's supposed to shock us as a further reflection of Dean's very bad mental state in season 13. This season opens with Dean losing Cas, Mary, and Crowley, and seriously struggling with those losses to the point of wanting to die. He literally has a suicide plan and he actually kills himself in 13.05, only to be brought back by Billie. At the same time that Dean is dealing with this crushing mental state, Sam, in his own pain, is looking for support, which he tries to get by pushing Dean to step up and help him with Jack when Dean simply isn't emotionally capable of that at the time and knows it. Sam becomes so fixated on trying to "make" Dean get better that he tries to play therapist in a way that's ultimately very invalidating and unintentionally cruel. Dean is no goodie-two-shoes either most certainly, but that's again all part of this blinking neon sign screaming, "Dean Is Not Okay" that eventually culminates with what happens with Kaia.
Up until this episode, Dean has repeatedly told himself that Mary is dead. When Jack shows him something different, we literally see Dean's eyes get distant and it's like he can barely breathe and all the noise around him falls away as Sam and Jack are talking. He is having A Moment™️.
So when Kaia refuses to help them, Dean snaps. It's not pretty, and it's shocking from Dean because it is something we know is not typical of Dean's character. Jack also showed them a vision of Mary in a torture cage, so Dean believes his mom is in danger of death as they speak and is suffering. From his perspective, the thing standing between him and his mom being tortured to death is a teenager who just doesn't want to see something scary.

His Dark Materials
So, hello there! This is my first post and, obsessed as I am, I feel the need to convince everyone to read my favorite book series ever, 'His Dark Materials' by Philip Pullman, because I don't see it talked about enough.
So the series is pretty much a retelling of Paradise Lost by John Milton, and the action in the first book happened in England, in a world like ours, expect for the daemons, which represent one's soul and can shape-shift into different animals until puberty, when they settle on one final form. They can also talk! Who wouldn't wish a creature like that following them around?
This series has everything that is popular, from badass characters to the most heartbreaking scenes ever (I cried a few times while reading the books, and I am not ashamed of that).
The main character is an unhinged child of eleven called Lyra Belacqua, who lies whenever she gets the chances and lived in a college. She wants to explore the world and is drawn into adventures in the North, and then beyond, into other worlds. (She also collects a whole pack of adoptive parents, like a texan aeronaut, a witch queen, a bear king and a tired nun-turned-scientist).
Then, in the second book, we get Will Parry, a young teenager who has to leave his mother behind and travel to a other worlds too. He's very relatable for teenagers, being forced to grow up early and having a lot of internal rage.
They basically travel to the Land of the Dead, go through the most heartbreaking experiences of all, then end up in a perfect world with elephants on wheels. And while this is happening, there's also a war against God, a small enemies-to-lovers second-chance-romance thing going on between Lyra's parents, the Magisterium (which represents the Church) trying to kill Lyra because of an ancient prophecy...
There's also a TV adaptation of these books, called 'His Dark Materials', and it is incredible : the casting is pretty much perfect, visuals are wonderful and the show expands certain plots that hadn't been seen in the books, or that had been less important or explicit.
Back in the 2000s, there was also the movie 'The Golden Compass' which was not as great as the books or the TV show, but more people know of that one, and honestly, the casting is very good.
These books are filled with random, clever things and they deserve more hype. I honestly think they are underappreciated and, even though they are more than 20 years old, they should grow in popularity. The characters and the romance are wonderfully written, the world-building is interesting, the daemons are one of the best things ever invented and the writing style is very captivating.
Hope this was pleasing to read :)

I'm in a law lecture, the lecturer is talking about British history because the lecture content is Civil Law System VS Common Law System
And I'm trying so hard not to laugh because all I can fucking think about is George Villiers
Like as a historical figure, I have opinions on the real-life George Villiers, and most of them are very negative
But mix that sentiment with the fact that Nick's playing him, and I can't fucking stop laughing
Oh God, M&G is gonna be a ride for me
