#fellas is it good narrative structure to fulfill a character's worst trauma-born expectations for himself

[fuckspn]

god i hate the dean/lisa relationship so much. “when i do picture myself happy, it’s with you” bro you don’t even KNOW her, you’ve literally spent like 4 non-consecutive days together over the course of a decade. dean, for $100 name three of lisa’s hobbies. for another $100 tell me where she was born. i will empty my bank account for you if you can tell me her middle name

#like it's just the writers trying to create this heterosexual white picket fence alternative life for dean #but it doesn't work because he doesn't fucking know lisa at all and consequently neither does the audience #plus like. yall already had the 'love interest outside the life who dean truly loved but couldn't make it work with' thing! #cassie was great! why did you feel the need to retread that ground with another character! #the fuckspn rewatch #not even touching the fact that he also said just before this #that living the life he does he's accepted that he's going to die painfully and won't get a happily ever after #fellas is it good narrative structure to fulfill a character's worst trauma-born expectations for himself #after 15 years of establishing that even though he expects that ending he wants a different one? #the greatest hits
