11.08 “just my imagination” got me in my feeeeels

i’ve been obsessing over the musical themes in this show and during the flashbacks with little sam and sully it’s playing the A theme of americana (usually known as the dean winchester’s family theme because the B theme is played over moments in the show that focus on dean’s relationships)

do you you understand. are you picking up what i am putting down. it played the A theme of americana over sam’s important relationship.

supernatural s13e20 unfinished business (w. meredith glynn)

taking a second to reflect i'm just about a year into this spn first time watch. first screenshot i took was in s1e2 and that was feb 1, 2023. inching closer to the end but damn.

wtf is happening with gabriel fighting a werewolf-esque whatever with a singlestick type thing. and this music? so cheesy 70s whatever. i see you jay g (christopher is also guilty of it when there's A Theme though so)

aww he's got a list like arya. ok so, like kill bill. which i tried to finally watch here not long ago and i couldn't get past the first fight scene in the house. feel like i might have enjoyed it when it came out when i was 23, but my appetite for tarantino tanked somewhere along the line. also, we already did a reservoir dogs homage episode, did we need another one?

these massive motel rooms, what even

haven't made a dean loves the magic fingers reference in a long ass time. reunion tour of references too

so this is a directed by speight episode too. ok

the apocalypse is good for mary's hair apparently

GABRIEL I call that art. But yes, without me, you two chuckleheads never would've known how to throw Lucifer back in the Cage. DEAN But instead of giving us a hand, you ran. And you just did it again when you ditched us in the bunker. GABRIEL All right, Dean-- I have more important things to do than to join your little band of merry men. DEAN Hey, what you're doing? This? This is not important. GABRIEL Every day, Asmodeus tortured me. Every… day! He fed off my grace for years! He used me, he debased me until I was… What I went through… you don't forgive. Everyone who had a hand in it will die. Get me?

a) this weird explanation/retcon of loki actually being someone else and that's why gabriel was pretending to be him is... weird. b) i get the impassioned speech but talking to two dudes with many more years or torture under their belts, i think they get it

DEAN Not like I care about killing gods, okay? But this whole revenge kick? It's a waste of time. SAM What if it's not? DEAN You've seen it, Sam-- with me, with Dad. Revenge only ends one way-- ugly. SAM Well, maybe it doesn't have to. DEAN Okay, I think I know what this is. SAM Okay, what is this? DEAN You. You're you're so hopped up on this “Kill Bill” fantasy of his. SAM No, no, no. This has nothing to do with me. DEAN If you had a shot at Lucifer, you wouldn't take it? SAM Of course I would. But this is about Gabriel. He needs our help. [Dean rolls his eyes, but agrees to hear out Sam’s plan back in the room] SAM Gabriel, you agree to help us, we'll agree to help you.

and a throwback to revenge never pays. but like, why doesn't sam just go for the obvious, we need his help and maybe he'll do it if we help him quid pro quo. jay bringing the eye rolling music juice, wouldn't expect anything else

GABRIEL Well, Sleipnir's a lot of things, but mainly, he is a coward. I will bet all the personal lubricant in the S.F.V… that after we killed Narfi, he ran straight back to papa's skirts.

and throwback to references i don't understand, that used to be a regular occurrence in kripke-era seasons. per the wiki:

S.F.V. refers to the San Fernando Valley in California, the center of the adult entertainment industry.

wonder how many people caught that, seems awfully obscure

MARY I know you've been winning all these fights, and you want to take him on so bad. I was just like you, with hunting. But I learned the hard way-- thinking you can win all the time, running in blind into every fight? That's how you make mistakes. And the people here, they-- JACK I'm doing this for them. MARY You can't help them if you're dead. And I can't lose another boy.

i'm sorry mary but i snorted. we just haven't had enough time to really establish this, and it's been backburner at best when it's around. #boymom 🤪🤪🤪

LOKI Yes, you do. Little bit. Our treatment of your friend is payback for a slight of a more personal nature. The death of my father, Odin. DEAN Oh, that wasn't him. Lucifer did that. LOKI Ah. But why was my father there in the first place? To parlay, to deal with Gabriel's brothers. When we first made terms, I had only one condition-- I would give him my face, teach him to be me, the trickster, if he agreed to abandon the more… volatile affairs of his family. Forever. When he hit that hotel, he broke that promise, and it cost my father his life.

hokay. never gonna retain any of this. i thought odin died another way but i think i'm thinking of zeus. big ask for me to care/remember the nonsense plot going on from an episode in s5. i can only imagine if i watched this as it aired. perpetually lost

SAM That's not… I'm saying this has become a whole thing with you lately. DEAN A whole thing? SAM Yeah. DEAN Since when? SAM Since the last time we opened up a rift. Since you decided to sideline me and then head to Apocalypse World with Ketch. DEAN Okay, well… we talked about that. SAM Did we? Because I gotta be honest, after everything, you're treating me like I-I deserve to be back at the kid's table or something.

good on you, sam

DEAN Sam, I'm not gonna apologize for protecting you. SAM So that's what you think you're doing here? DEAN You remember what happened the last time we had front row tickets to the Lucifer/Michael show? 'Cause I do. You died… and went to Hell. But see, this time, the apocalypse isn't looking for us. We're actually looking for it. I don't care what happens to me. I never really have. But I do care about what happens to my brother. SAM Dean, we're going to that place, and we're gonna save Jack and Mom. Together. And if something happens, we will deal with it together. And if we die? We'll do that together, too.

on one hand it's like oh yeah, maybe dean is feeling the lingering trauma of what happened the last time michael and lucifer were in their lives. but also, they let so much of that slide it feels like it's just being used for convenience. but whatever. i'd rather this than no conversation at all

and damn straight, sam, everything together. dying is a little much, and you didn't get to follow through on that one anyway. read a fic the other day that was about dean being afraid once sam's blurry wife got to heaven, he'd want to leave to be with her. and they made the point that sam had almost the same amount of years with the blurry wife as he did with dean. and now i'm making myself sad again 🥲🫠 this is why i don't read much heaven fic

the most important part of being a music student is forming parasocial relationships with composers

I am not immune to musical motifs that cue the audience to experience certain emotions

#supernatural #spn #jay gruska soundtrack just gives me emotions okay? #and yes I’m aware that this show is like top 10 silly reasons to be sad #i got into it when I was young and I cannot shake it #I saw it was popular on Netflix again #it’s all coming back to me now

supernatural s12e1 keep calm and carry on (w. andrew dabb)

right so i saw that on the grave marker but i was too upset to mention but mary was born in 1954 supposedly lol but samantha smith was born in 1969. (so was kim rhodes [jody] and samantha ferris [ellen] was 1968 lol)

my mom had pretty much the exact same ring combo (also married in the 70s, but to a navy man [i was born in 80])

the way my head whips around at the first couple notes of the mushy music. da-da "then i burned." jackles sold me on him feeling some big feelings (was ready to weep at him mentioning sam) and i don't know why but i'm primed to dislike mary with this resurrection business, some osmosis via fic i guess but right in this moment, i'm open to feeling dean's happiness (?) about her being back and in her love for the boys. but my personal being a parent/having deadparents is definitely helping push that boat along

is the little title drawing this time a men of letters symbol in the pentagram

100% didn't expect them bringing mary back would make me upset about my dead parents. used to have this recurring dream where i just needed to find this certain thing and i could cure my dad's cancer. some mol bullshit i don't care about should clear that right up

oh no i can't do this sam torture episode. i didn't realize it was on deck already. i have read hurt/comfort fic adjacent to it and i have an idea of how awful it is and not today

back today to try again, watched a couple more minutes before turning it off. i read the episode summary on the wiki and i dunno. i really don't like torture. not sure what i'm gonna do about this one.

coming back to edit this so i can add the video clip with the mushy music and maybe mushy music variation i blathered about in the reblog

dean and mary - regular mushy music / mary looking at all the electronics - mushy music variation??

i think “salmondean” predates that convention moment you posted….there’s a track on the s1-5 soundtrack called “Salmon Dean in the Heartland” the soundtrack was released in 2010 but obviously the song had been used in the show prior to that. according to google the earliest it was used in the show was s1 from the racist truck episode

so it looks like we have the great jay gruska to thank for coining the phrase “salmondean”

what is going on...
