Happy Wincest Wednesday, Z! Which ultimate wincest episodes do you think are the most illustrative and crucial, when it comes to Sam and Dean's relationship development stages throughout the series? Thanks <3
hello bulb, hello, and what a happy wincest wednesday to you as well! and also oh shit this is a tough one, but -- [cracks knuckles] fuck it, no over thinking, open up the list of all episodes on wikipedia, wincest goggles on brain off let's goooo
Pilot: obv
Bugs: suuuper important for how they each understand their relationship with John, which of course informs their relationship with each other
Route 666: Sam discovers that Dean is not actually a callous horndog, news at 11
Something Wicked OR Nightmare: Dean will do anything for Sam, news at 11
Croatoan: actually Dean will just go ahead and die rather than live without Sam, so that's... special.
AHBL 2: well, now he can prove that's so.
Fresh Blood: actually you're not allowed to be devil-may-care, sorry, you have to be in it with me.
A Very Supernatural Christmas: ...fuck, that means this is really painful. But it still matters.
Time Is On My Side: Sam will actually straight up become a monster if it means Dean will stay. (Dean: you WHAT??)
It's a Terrible Life: turns out that respite even in this horrible days isn't enough to keep us away from each other, love you forever, your panties really match your suspenders
Good God Y'all THROUGH Fallen Idols, watch in a binge: this hurts so much maybe we should break up -> oh shit that actually ends the world -> well I'm still mad at you -> okay you can be mad, but you can't be mean -> you're right, love you, partnership and respect uber alles
Swan Song: obv
Appointment in Samarra/Like a Virgin: yes, it is worth this, it is worth anything, to have you back, I love you so much
The Man Who Knew Too Much: I'm not leaving my brother alone out there
Hello, Cruel World: Stone Number One
Torn and Frayed: we'll break up with our significant others because we value this partnership more than short-term happiness
Sacrifice: I MEAN, OBV
I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here: I said I don't put anything before you and I meant it; you said you wanted to live and I really hope you meant it
Do You Believe in Miracles?: "I lied." / "Well, ain't that a son of a bitch."
Paper Moon: it doesn't matter as long as I have you back (redux)
Book of the Damned/Werther Project/the Prisoner: sure, let's destroy the world, who cares, we're making sure Dean's safe
Into the Mystic/Love Hurts: I will carry any burden for you and I mean it. I mean it, forever.
And actually -- that last moment, in Love Hurts -- "I got it, Dean." -- that's... everything. Dean believes him. Dean knows. There are actually more great !! moments in the arc of their relationship after that, but from that very moment the marriage is stone-solid. Dean told Sam how scared he was of Amara and Sam accepted it and reassured him and that was -- it. There's no faltering, from that moment on. Even if later they get in some arguments or have internal conflicts, that specific moment of pure trust and acceptance is THE MARRIAGE for me and I will bask in it always, forever and ever, amen. Thanks, canon.
