Benny: Thanks for not giving up on me, brother.
Dean: Don't give me a reason to.
(im going to throw up)
#DONT GIVE ME A REASON TO. DONT GIVE ME A REASON#'benny's the only one who has never let me down'#HE DOESN'T EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO HUH#BENNY IS DEAN'S MANIC PIXIE DREAM VAMPIRE WHO NEVER DISAGREES WITH HIM OR DOES THE WRONG THING#its sooo. its so pointed. its. this whole parallel sam to benny is so. im think i hauve covid#dean constantly hammering in to sam's head that He Failed. He Failed. He Let Him Down. He Failed. He Broke Everything Between Them.#and benny. benny. oh my god.#don't give me a reason to...#oh to live in the alternate reality where benny does fuck up and fucks up bad#what does dean do then. if his vampire friend was put up against the wall by hunger or a hunter#if he had to lash out. even if he didn't want to. is dean gonna stand by him then?#or does benny go join the long list of people who have let him down. and dean pulls a machete.#how quickly does that trust bleed out huh? how easily do you break a bond that hasn't been tested beyond battle and clandestine meetings#maybe it does happen and im just not remembering that it does. god i hope so. i need to see them get messed up.#dean/benny is so good and messy to me actually.#benny doesn't even know these expectations are being hoisted on him. he's never there when dean talks about how everyone else in his life#failed him. benny just thinks this is a normal (well. 'normal'. they were in purgatory. and probably had wild bloody sex in those woods)#but a normal friendship. and has no idea he's on any kind of pedestal. god. terrifying. imagine being pushed off a cliff you didn't know yo#were on the edge of. that's the situation benny is in rn#anyway! fun normal show for normal people!#benny lafitte#dean winchester#spn

Initial impressions of Legion 2x06 (some spoilers)
- OK, before I get into the ep, I just wanna say this: I’m not sure why everybody seems so certain that Amy is dead. A lot of people have “died” on this show but that doesn’t stop them from hanging around and continuing to annoy David. And even if she’s not herself anymore and just an aspect of New Lenny’s personality, there’s still an infinite number of Amys in other timelines.
- That direct lift of an early scene from “A Clockwork Orange” was DOPE AF. The version in this ep features Old Homeless Man David. Check out the original: 
youtube
Even some of the same dialogue! I bet that was a real treat for Dan (and Noah). But tbh this whole episode was like giving Dan an acting reward for being so good at keeping David mostly sweet and dorky up to this point.
- Speaking of Dan as an actor: he is such a generous actor and a team player. People who don’t pay attention often don’t even notice him. I was just listening to a podcast last night, in fact, where one of the (not brilliant, frankly) reviewers said that Aubrey Plaza deserves all the acting awards and then specifically called out “what’s his name” who plays David for not being that great at acting. Yes, I wanted to hurl things. Dan is not a William Shatner. He does not demand or seek the spotlight. But when it’s put on him, oh how brightly he shines. I hope that guy is eating crow tonight.
- Red and Green (and yellow to a slightly lesser extent) are very important symbols in this series. Whenever I see red I know that the Shadow King’s influence or presence is near, and when I see green or blue I know it’s a safe place or a seat of power for David. Yellow appears to be the midway point between them, maybe a place where they are both equally present, and Lenny in S1 and the Demon with Yellow Eyes reside there. So now the color thing is really coming into play in S2. If someone (Oliver/Melanie/Farouk/whoever) could convince David that Red is Green and vice versa, what would that mean, exactly? Uhhh, not sure yet.
- This episode proves that, whether David surrenders himself to the SK or not, he’s fucked.
- David can do bad, horrible things perfectly fine without the Shadow King controlling his body, as long as he is afraid, angry, and/or loses control of his emotions. A lot of the time SK just had to scare him a little and watch the fireworks. This makes me nervous in regards to things like “The World’s Angriest Boy In The World”, because as much as “our” David hasn’t been responsible for the murders he did in S1, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t kill people in the past because of his volatile nature.
- As much as Hawley claims this season is about “a sane man in an insane world” (and I’m sure that’s true in a sense), it’s impossible for David not to be mentally disturbed with everything that’s happened to him. The real question is, how did Floppy Hair Suburban Dad David get such a perfect, happy life? Probably in a much less than perfect way. In fact it might all be an illusion, a reality he made up for himself. It seems that timelines in which David doesn’t go horribly bad in one way or another are SUPER rare.
- I briefly referenced this above, but I get a strong feeling that Oliver has recruited Melanie to help him reeducate one of the infinite Davids to believe that “red is green”. You can see hints of this in many of the episodes, especially episode 1, where we see inside what we assume is Melanie’s mind because it contains the Minotaur, as well as a classroom where children are playing duck duck goose and a teacher is writing “roja =“ on a dry erase board. This might explain why Melanie is on the vapor drug. I’d have to do a rewatch of s1, but I got the impression that the vapor boosts psychic power, or maybe euphoria and mind alteration just naturally aid it. The Minotaur (whose head is hidden much like Fukyama’s) could be the Alternate Timeline David who she is putting through the maze in order to brainwash him. BUT, here’s a thought, what if the David Oliver and Melanie are training is actually OUR David? She’s always been convinced that he’s the only true weapon against the Shadow King. This is all sounding really convoluted, but this show is getting kinda timey-wimey in my opinion and I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some major time travel stuff going on that Melanie knows all about because she’s certainly good at keeping her secrets.
- In the timeline where World’s Richest Man David lives in the future and Farouk has control over him, the vapor is red. I’m not sure exactly what this means but it’s definitely related to L/Benny and Our David taking vapor that is “always blue” (or maybe not. David doesn’t seem certain.) Drugs are a strong method of controlling David, either by prescription or illicit use. Even Office Space David, the younger version of World’s Richest Man David sniffs White-Out, which miiiight be where the singing mouse came from?  (5/10/18 - Correction: actually Coffee Boy David is the younger version. There’s two Davids who work in offices.)
- Seriously tho, all Davids be cray cray. Even Floppy Hair Suburban Dad David, I’ll bet you a million bucks.
- David and Amy’s relationship is deeply heartbreaking. It’s lovely how much they care about each other, but it’s soooo unhealthy how co-dependent they are. Amy’s life is always dominated by David’s many needs, to the detriment of her personal happiness and often her physical well-being, as we’ve just seen in the last episode, and David is incapable of coping with life without her. If anything ever hurts her, and I’m sure it always eventually does, he goes BLACK AS FUCK. It’s good that he has an emotional anchor, but he needs to be his own anchor (and PLEASE Syd, don’t become his replacement anchor, because you are both less than stable and that would be such a phenomenally bad idea). 
- Farouk’s affection for keeping attractive, similar looking bi/lesbian ladies as his companions seems like a reference to the Vermillion. Hmmmmmm...

Reality Chapter 12 (Jensen x Reader; Dean x Reader)
Tumblr media
Title: Reality Chapter 12
Summary:  Is this real life, or is this just fantasy? (Y/n) struggled to figure out if she’s in an alternate universe after a car accident, or if she’s just suffering from the after effects of a coma.
Warnings: Language, mentions of cheating, violence, Dean is a dick
“That car looks weird.” Jared said as him and Jensen pulled the large limb up against the side of the house. It was a beige Buick Regal, and Jensen had never seen it around the neighborhood before. The hairs on the back of his neck started to stand up.
 “Jared, we need to get inside.” He said, heading towards his house. Jared looked around, confused.
 “Jensen, what’s going on?” He called, going after his friend. He knew that Gen and the kids were in California, visiting her parents, so he wasn’t worried about them. But Jensen was acting strange and that wasn’t a good thing. He quickly followed his friend to his house.
 ****
 “Shit!” Sam growled as he glanced up through the driver’s window.
 “What is it?” Cas asked from his place in the backseat.
 “They’re going inside.” Sam said. “Guess they work out just as much as I do.” He sighed and leaned over to the glove compartment, pulling out a gun. “Guess we should go in before Dean kills them.”
 ****
 “I’m not going with you.” Jensen heard (Y/n) say as him and Jared walked into the house quietly. Jensen turned to look at Jared before making his way towards the kitchen.
 “Come on (Y/n), this isn’t real. Just put the gun down and let’s go. Sam and Cas are waiting for us.” They heard another voice. It sounded like Jensen…
 Quickly, the two actors ran towards the kitchen. There, they were greeted with the sight of (Y/n) standing behind the island in the middle of the room, water bottle in one hand and a gun in the other. The man in the room, the one that looked like Jensen, just stood there, unphased by the pistol pointed his direction.
 “What the fuck?” Jensen said. Dean turned to look at the two actors.
 “Damn it Sam. I ask you to do one thing.” Dean growled before turning to look back at (Y/n). “Must be your husband and his Sammy.”
 “They’re names are Jensen and Jared. And yes, Jensen is my husband.” (Y/n) explained.
 “Where did you get a gun?” Jared asked. (Y/n) glanced over at him.
 “Dude, we live in Texas.” She said. Jared nodded.
 “Fair enough.” He said. He couldn’t stop staring at the other man. Jensen made a move to go to (Y/n), but the sound of the front door opening and Roscoe barking caught his attention. Sam and Cas ran in.
 “Dean, I swear I thought it would take them longer to move the tree limb than it did.” Sam said. Dean glared over at his brother.
 “I’ll deal with you later.” He said. “Right now, (Y/n) is too busy playing house with fake me. So we need to get her and go.”
 “Oh no.” Jensen said, moving to stand by (Y/n). “She’s not going anywhere with you.” Dean stared down his double. Jared moved to stand by Jensen and (Y/n) while Sam and Cas stood by Dean. To Jensen, Jared, and (Y/n), Dean almost looked like an animal baring his teeth at them. Dean was not happy, but (Y/n) was not about to give in to him.
 “(Y/n), come on.” Dean said. (Y/n) shook her head.
 “No Dean.” She said. “What we had was good while it lasted, but it was a little bit of a “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” situation. You wanted a good time. I wanted love. We compromised.” Dean growled some.
 “We love each other.” He said. (Y/n) shook her head.
 “I loved you.” She said. “Because if we did really love each other, I wouldn’t have a list of girls you had your dick in while we were together. I wouldn’t have a year of my life where you ran off with some other girl for safety. I wouldn’t be married to this wonderful man and pregnant with his child. Something you would never give me.”
 “(Y/n)…I’m warning you.” Dean growled. Jensen was about to speak up, but (Y/n) raised her hand to stop him.
 “No Dean. I’ve kept this in all these years. I took the abuse. I let you use me and pretended not to notice the panties in the backseat of the Impala or the girls’ phone numbers that made a collection in your phone. I’m done with that Dean. I’m done with the fact that Lisa meant more to you than I did. Or that you had a fucking child with an Amazon. Or that you were sleeping with Anna while I was trying to help your friends, your brother, pick up the shattered remains of the family.” Jensen watched the interaction between his wife and his double. He knew that this version of Dean was an asshole, but he didn’t know just how bad it was.
 “Like you didn’t have your own flings while we were together. Benny? I saw the looks that you two gave each other.” Dean accused. (Y/n) shook her head.
 “I never slept with Benny. I wanted to. Damn I wanted to. But I didn’t. And I didn’t sleep with Sam while we were together either.” (Y/n) said. Dean was about to say something but froze at the newest information. Sam? He turned to look at his brother.
 “Dean…I swear I…” Sam began.
 “He was soulless Dean. He doesn’t remember it.” (Y/n) dismissed. “You were too busy being between Lisa’s legs to notice that Sam was back. He found me, alone and broken at Bobby’s. Because he still cared about me. But I slept with Sam. So I must have a thing for cheating douchebags.” (Y/n) laughed some. “You know, you and Sam were a lot alike then. The only difference was Sam didn’t tell me he loved me before he went to screw someone else.” Dean balled his hands into fists.
 “Hey guys…” Jared said, looking down at his phone.
 “Shut up.” Dean hissed. “Anything else you want to get out on the table (Y/n)? Continue to tell perfect strangers how awful I am?” Sam looked down at his own phone then. He was just glad that he could use the Wi-Fi in this universe.
 “Uh…Dean…” Sam said. Dean glared at his brother.
 “What?!” HE snarled.
 “I think we have a problem.” Sam said. “She’s here.”
 “She? She who?” Jensen asked.
 “You mean…her?” (Y/n) asked. Sam and Cas both nodded. Jensen and Jared looked at each other. “Where is she?”
 “Who is she?” Jensen asked. That when the back patio doors flew open and she waltzed in, black leather and all. Totally overdoing the evil bad guy trope, but being dumped by God would do that to someone.
 “Emily?” Jared asked.
 “Emily?” She asked. She looked around the room. “Two Sammy’s and two Dean-o’s? Wow, it must be my birthday.” She laughed. “Where’s the other Castiel?”
 “Becky…” Dean growled. Jensen and Jared looked at each other again.
 “Becky?” They asked. “Like Crazy Becky?”
 “Don’t call me that!” She screamed, throwing the two actors back against a wall. “Sorry, anger issues. But I am the queen of hell now. So what’s a little shouting between friends?” She smiled at everyone.
 “Why didn’t Jack stop you?” Sam asked. Becky walked closer to him.
 “I might have distracted him with a rattle. Or a nuclear bomb.” She laughed. “But I just had to find my Sammy. You just disappeared on me.” She ran her hands down his chest.  “And two Sammy’s is jut even better.” She turned around and saw (Y/n) standing there. “Didn’t I kill you already?”
 “Wait…what?” Jensen asked. “Did you…”
 “I had one of my minions kill a version of her. Guess it wasn’t the right one.” She shrugged. “I guess I’ll just have to pick up the slack.” Waving a hand, the gun that was in (Y/n)’s hand flew to her own. “How about we try this again? Plus, I have a new universe to conquer. Unleash magic to the masses and all that jazz.” She laughed.
 “Becky, no!” Sam screamed. Becky looked at him.
 “She slept with my Sammy.” She said with a sadistic smile on her face. “I didn’t know about this before, but now, she really does deserve this.” With that, she pointed the gun at (Y/n) and fired. Jensen tried to move to push her out of the way. Dean tackled Becky, knocking the gun from her hand. But as he looked up, he saw red running down the front of (Y/n)’s shirt.
 “NO!” Dean and Jensen screamed in unison.
 But that was the last thing (Y/n) heard before her world went dark.
