you’re telling me people are doubting the cultural relevancy of destiel, THEE destiel??? the first and the last Great American Queerbait??? that destiel???

#i love aziracrow i do #but in terms of cultural relevancy you have to rendre à caesar ce qui est à caesar im sorry #if the question was gomens vs spn then i think there are strong arguments for gomens being more culturally relevant #spn wouldn’t exist w/o all the inspiration kripke took from gaimans work #but if we’re talking about the ships there’s no contest #destiel #spn

Lorrie Palmer, “The Road to Lordsburg: Rural Masculinity in Supernatural,” from TV Goes to Hell: An Unofficial Road Map of Supernatural

#okay so i’m actually really enjoying this little collection of essays... #it was published between seasons 5 & 6 #so it’s solely kripke-era #which is always the ideal :-) #spn #words #w*

i love how dean literally killed john and it’s SO obvious in the scene in 1x02 where dean’s talking abt “the family business” and trying to convince sam that they gotta “pick up where dad left off” and that finding him may take a long time. and sam is so logical abt it like “that doesn’t make sense! why doesn’t he just call!” and dean’s like hmm *shrugs* idk. dean ur so !!! he literally killed john and was tired of being alone on the road and roped sam back into all this and jess dying was just convenient but man is he gonna milk that if it means keeping his brother around 

#those first few episodes where kripke was still toying w the idea of dean having killed john are just !!!!!! #it's real 2 me #chuck just brought john back ok but dean DID kill him #vic.txt #vics spn rewatch #dean killed john

[ardentpoop]

did not remember that in spn s1 there is a Beautiful Girl Connected To The Case in every episode who is there specifically for dean to leer at be interested in

on the one hand: lmao

on the other: beautiful girls in every episode

#my rewatch is still paused bc i need the DVD to watch as kripke's old ass intended (w/ the right music) #but this was amusing to me #is the rest of the show like this too LMAO i truly dont remember it's been a decade

[modernbaseball]

how come the women in supernatural are written Like That and the women in the boys are sooo #real. Did kripke manage to talk to a woman in between the shows

#yes i know it has less to do w him and more to do w surrounding culture and female roles and other writers #but oh my goddddd its insane. the boys making metacommentary on the 2000s female character #and im likw but. but didnt you DO THAT? that was YOU kripke rhat was YOU #the boys does not portray women perfectly and there r good things about some spn women but let me just talk about this okay #spn

[meatmensch]

it's really so crazy that a shit ton of people looked at sam and dean's intimate complicated relationship and said "they must be fucking." your brain sure did rot, huh? you just gotta equate a deep relationship with a sexual one? you're bummin' everyone out dude

#wincest mention #spn #my posts #sunny spn rewatch #also little vent in tags. as someone w intrusive thoughts. the knowledge of wincest sometimes just makes watching the show difficult. bc #my intrusive thoughts will say 'what if the wincesties are right??' and then i have to be like. no. intrusive thoughts u will not take spn #away from me. you are nothing. wincest is fake. only weird 25 yo white chicks from '05 and kind of eric kripke think it's real. wincest #isnt real it cant hurt you. #incest mention

[antigonewinchester]

just finished S14 and I’m still struggling to figure out how to talk about it, because:

I was prepared to view it very cynically, and imo I still think I could make an argument for how it’s a culmination of framings/issues that started in Kripke’s era, particularly around Dean.

but also I keep chewing on the story the writers were telling about what makes a ‘monster’ and the difficulty of being good and dealing w/ the reality of unintended consequences and it’s compelling in a way the show hasn’t been for seasons. deliberately paralleling Dean & Jack and their willingness to sacrifice themselves to save their loved ones/the world and the unintended consequences of those choices, Dean & Jack’s capacity for violence & lashing out with ways that hurt & kill people, literal vs metaphorical soullessness and what if trying to do good just made you empty inside (yes we’ve got the return of the hole motif!!), how personal sacrifices end up costing everyone in the end, Moriah as a horrible moment of recognition for both Jack & Dean blaming themselves for too much & seeing themselves as monsters deserving to die except maybe not, the whole season intentionally exploring all these fucked up character dynamics.

there’s so much more going on from what I’d seen in fandom discussions. even if I have negative interest in getting involved in ~discourse abt it on any broader fandom level.

#dabb era really did ‘redo’ the mark of cain arc in a way #also if kripke’s era was abt sam’s potential to be a ‘monster’ #then carver & dabb’s era explored that question w/ dean & dean’s potential to be a ‘monster’ #and it’s fascinating how ppl react differently to how they do or don’t view sam & dean as ‘monsters’

What if Bryan Fuller made Supernatural... hmmmmmm

#cursed thought from an ideal universe... or something? #IMAGINE #don't get me wrong i love the kripke era of spn and i respect that man's craft a whole lot after seeing The Boys #but dammit I have a vicious love-hate relationship w/everything after season 5 #fuller is unhinged in just the right way that he could pull it off #supernatural #bryan fuller #logan.txt

went into the boys tag out of curiosity which was difficult since i have it filtered for spoilers. 75% is jensen ackles (whomst i also have filtered) and the other 25% is untagged jensen ackles. i don’t know what i expected from tumblr of all places but this was a popular show before he was in it so where is everyone

#yeah yeah i’m part of the problem because i am not about to just start blogging about the boys willy nilly who has time for that #but the fact that i can’t even lurk? #is NO ONE gonna talk about that opening scene. i’m still thinking about it i mean w h a t t h e f u c k #every time something insane happens i’m like did this happen in the comics or does kripke just really need therapy #also uhhhhh really actually uncomfy to me that people are thirsting over soldier boy when he’s actually horrendous #JUST say you think jensen is hot i’m begging you. it’s okay and actually healthy to separate an actor from a character #but that’s a different post! #the boys #jackles #a.txt

supernatural season 12 finale 🤝 the boys season 2 finale

#the boys #supernatural #they’re the same #butcher has BEEN dean’s widower arc since s1 #the parallels is am yelling #kripke wasn’t even w spn at that point #truly it isn’t even full circle bc spn ripped from every source material under the sun #everybody else just does it better #but considering how the boys is adapting the comics but also creating original canon for the show. i am LOOKING

[seasonninecas]

like it’s obviously so much more likely nothing is going on but we all know jackles has issues and problems. he made winchesters within like what. a year and a half? of spn ending? this is where the there could be a possibility….

#jackles needs therapy w mr kripke too #nov 5th

sammy coded: fire in my domicile x2

#kinda wanna do some fire analysis in spn #at least kripke era #i rly need to process my fire trauma <3 #i looooove spintaneous combustion (lying simply a wintness) #long story short the first time didnt rly count #i was at girlscout camp in my permanent tent (wood frame/four beds/floor and treated canvas ‘roof’ and walls) w my one bestie #and as we sat in bed chatting #poof blue flame in middle of plywood floor and then its gone #second time i was a counselor at a different camp #and my cabin burnt down in the middle of the night #all the campers and volunteers (counselors) were ok but hashtag trauma #and now that camp is my primary place of employment #so #if you want the long story long just msg me

[angelsdean]

def think he was supposed to be like hardcore fucking those old ladies and that was the line and compromise 

#he was like. 'i did it anyway' in that one interview so i think jacking off w the old ladies was the compromise #and weird sex positions was what kripke was sending him for this scene and he was like. what no no im a Family Man i can't sdfjdk #if anyone's ever seen the misfits i'm still haunted by robert sheehan's character fucking an old lady #i would not have survived having to see jackles doing that #the boys spoilers

[ardentpoop]

love seeing ppl compare jensen’s character soldier boy (on The B//oys) to dean and only mention the daddy issues and PTSD as opposed to like........ him being a raging power-hungry maniac who doesn’t care abt anyone but himself 

#kripke taking me back to my I Hate S//PN Fandom days #like did that scene w soldier boy beating noir half to death not sink in fijgifugj #the boys spoilers -j-m--nxx//b #we can talk lenny/hughie and butcher vs sam and dean tho i'll allow that :)
