#supernatural season 6

[waywardseraph]

Thinking about season 6 episode 10 where Sam tells Castiel “If you don’t help us, I will hunt you down and kill you.” and Castiel responds “Will you, boy? How?” and the whole time Castiel looks like he wanted to say “Big words coming from the man that looks like he was designed by Gabriel.”

s 6 of spn is soooo Destiel coded

- Balthazar telling Dean that Cas is in love with him

- Fate called Sam and Dean Cas' pets

-The entire episode from Cas' POV and it's ALL about Dean and his feelings

I totally understand now

Dean and Sam are both masters of the kicked puppy dog look. Sam especially, he has those big dewy puppy eyes that I can't help but feel my heart ache

thinking about how much better s6 would have been if crowley had enlisted mary in the alpha hunt instead of samuel. the rest of the arc could stay more or less the same and it would be especially angsty for the wall in sam’s mind to keep him from the only memories of his mom he ever had.

If I had a nickle for every time a beige-wearing biblically lesser known angel forsook his gay love to take charge of heaven out of naïve motives I‘d have two nickles. Which isn‘t a lot, but it‘s weird that it happened twice.

#aziraphale and castiel have a scary lot in common #but i trust in neil to make his ending a proper good one #yes #in neil gaiman we trust #i‘m still not over season 2 #i‘d say sorry for the go spam but i‘m not #i‘m also not done #good omemes #good omens season 2 #aziraphale #supernatural #castiel #supernatural season 6 #good omens spoilers #good omens

(Season six is making me angry so have this rant)

I'm sorry, but Dean and Lisa could've stayed together if Dean knew how to communicate!! Like, tell her Ben wanted to be a hunter and you said no instead of this "nothing" crap. Tell her you were turned into a vampire and missed her which is why you were there! She knows the supernatural exists, it's not like you'd open a whole new world! And hell, listening is important too. She says she wants some freedom, you worry about monsters that are out there. Ok, talk to each other. Set some parameters, make some sort of compromise, just do SOMETHING other than hope it can all be forgotten! But especially don't wipe their memories. Monsters can still try and get to you by hurting them. The only difference is they will have no idea of what's going on and no clue on who to ask for help!!

I'm doing a rewatch & we've just hit Season 7. Meanwhile, one of my favorite fanfic authors is on S7 of her ficlet series! And S7 is really not my favorite, but I gotta talk about Dean here... and what the heck the writers were doing.

[See also: Re: Dean Killing Amy (and lying about it)]

The first time I watched it, S7 felt kind of incoherent. Characters kept harping on about Dean's mental health/state of mind, but (unlike when he came back from Hell) I wasn't really sure why he was falling apart — and I didn't really "see" it, either. SPN's episodic structure can make it hard to keep track of the emotional through-lines of its protagonists, and the writers didn't always dedicate enough time to reinforcing our intended takeaways. It wasn't until I rewatched S7 that I felt like I was beginning to put together all the pieces. When I did, here's what I saw.

S6: A New Dean

First, we have to go back to S6:E1, where we meet a new Dean. He's a year into healing from the loss of his brother and, while he says he never gave up on saving Sam, it's clear from the montage (which doesn't show a drop of his search for answers, despite echoes of Sam continuing to weave themselves through everything he does) that, months down the line, the edge has worn off his grief. He might still be looking, but he's not utterly consumed by it. Not anymore.

He's got good days & bad days, and getting up in the morning & facing the world is still work, but for the most part, Dean is settled into a fair approximation of a decent suburban family life. He's not waking up & immediately reaching for a beer. He's not carrying around a flask. His nightstand isn't littered with empties, and he's definitely not gulping straight from a bottle of Jack. (Which is to say: We've seen what it looks like Dean's mental state gets really bad... and this isn't that.)

Maybe he still sometimes has a few too many before bed — we can probably extrapolate that from Lisa's truth-cursed questioning of him drinking "half a fifth a night" to keep dark thoughts at bay (of course, it's possible that that was a more accurate description of when he first came to live with her: Veritas made people speak the truth, but not the whole truth, after all) — but for the most part, he seems to keep it to one or two after work, a beer while he's grilling, a nightcap before turning in. He doesn't get sloppy around Ben. He doesn't drink on the job. He's... y'know, managing.

He's also not out there flirting & womanizing like the old Dean did. He's got steady work. He's faithful to his woman. He's basically turned into a responsible adult.

Dean reacting with a mixture of amusement & consternation to a waitress's flirtation.

Some part of what we see may be a role he's playing: Dean is naturally adaptive to his environment (as we saw in "Folsom Prison Blues," "Hollywood Babylon," and even "99 Problems"), and the suburban family life could be just one more scene. But a good chunk of it seems to be finally just having a little peace & quiet — and a little time & space — to grow up, to heal, to settle down.

Things Get Hard

Dean continues to stay on the straight-and-narrow even as he gets increasingly suspicious of & jumpy around his newly-returned brother. It's not until S6:E6 "You Can't Handle the Truth" (following Sam throwing him to the vamps & Dean's subsequent disastrous missteps with Lisa/Ben) that certain bad habits start creeping back in.

We see Dean call Bobby about Sam, saying, "I don't know how much longer I can do this" and "my skin crawls just being in the same room with him," and Bobby reluctantly telling him that the search for a supernatural explanation for Sam's behavior is turning up nothing. That this might not be anything that can be cured: it's possible this is just who Sam is now. And Dean is suddenly staring down the barrel of a future that might not contain a family as he's known it in either Sam or Lisa & Ben.

This is the first time we see Dean drinking again to cope with stress: he grabs a beer while venting to/pleading with Bobby, hangs up, takes a long swig, and steels himself to call Lisa (presumably to try to apologize)... and then loses his nerve & hangs up again.

Afterwards, Sam connects with him about the case & Dean ends up pursuing a red herring for a bit. When Cas appears but can't help him with Sam (but confirms he's not Lucifer, forcing Dean closer & closer to the unpleasant conclusion that this is just Sam now), Dean's drinking escalates to whiskey.

After Cas disappears, Dean hits up a bar, but we can tell he's not accustomed to just chugging shot after shot anymore: when the bartender asks if he'd like another, his knee-jerk response is to turn her down ("No thanks, I'm working") before Sam's call — & dread at the prospect of spending more time with him — sends him back for one last drink...

Then Lisa phones him and, under Veritas's compulsion, spills some harsh truths and ends their conversation on a note that suggests she's breaking up with him. She later calls back — 6 times! — trying to reconcile, but Dean can't bring himself to answer or return her calls. Perhaps this is in part because, over the course of the last few episodes, he's become more & more convinced of exactly the point Lisa was driving at: that he can't spend all his time swimming in violence (and repressing the associated trauma as he tries to survive it) & expect to just set that aside somehow at the end of the day and be a good dad.

DEAN: It's the gig. You're covered in blood until you're covered in your own blood. Half the time you're about to die — like right now. I told myself I wanted out. That I wanted a family.

VERITAS: But you were lying?

DEAN: No...

Shortly thereafter, Sam admits (at knifepoint) that he deliberately let Dean get turned into a vamp, triggering the chain of events that ended with Dean almost killing Lisa and Ben, and we get an absolutely brutal scene of Dean punching Sam into unconsciousness in response — further reinforcing the theme of violence begetting violence, both in that violent responses are provoked by violent actions and in that it becomes a habitual response to negative emotional arousal (anger, fear), à la "You are what you repeatedly do," that can turn on undeserving parties if not kept tightly in check. (For example, a brother who has wronged you but acknowledged it & is begging you for help.)

Ultimately, that's what Dean fears the most: bringing that darkness home with him.

Cas examines Sam & reveals that he's soulless. Following this — possibly discomfited by how hard he'd fallen off the wagon in S6:E6, which featured levels of both drinking & domestic violence that we hadn't seen from him in a very long time — Dean stays away from the hard stuff for a while. Episodes 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11 pass, and the only liquor we see him consume is a glass immediately following his unnerving "close encounter" with fairies. Then Sam gets his soul back & falls into a coma, and Cas tells Dean not to expect his brother to wake up.

But Sam does wake up, and Dean's ecstatic to have his brother back. He reins in his whiskey drinking again, and it seems like he's largely regained his equilibrium. Even the bittersweet (unintentional) reunion-just-to-say-goodbye to Lisa & Ben in S6:E14 (depressing though it was) isn't enough to send him into a spiral. He's grieving the loss of one family & one future, but in Sam (and Cas & Bobby), he still has another. And that's enough to get him through it.

Until the events of S6:E20, "The Man Who Would Be King." And S6:E21, "Let It Bleed." And S6:E22, "The Man Who Knew Too Much." And S7:1 & S7:2.

I love Dean but I hate him when he acts like he was the only one who has problems. Like how he treated Castiel and Bobby in Season 6. Castiel was at war in heaven and Bobby has a trouble with his soul. Like man you were not the only one who has a problem everyone is.
