demon dean should have been super nice actually. like it already does not make sense within the show, must you torture someone for centuries & twist their soul into a new animal or can you simply push a little button and make their eyes black. anyway since they just flipped a switch and freed dean of his mortal constraints without even doing any brainwashing i think he should have been a sweetheart and the only things he does quote unquote wrong are 1. break sam's legs like annie wilkes and 2a. not let crowley into the bunker to flirt with sam while 2b. failing to replace sam in crowley's life as the winchester brother he gets to flirt with. this would prove his undoing immediately. also dean breaking his legs but being super sweet and accommodating immediately after & in all other things would have an effect on sam that I, the viewer,
a wholesome family picture

also. and I AM getting off tumblr now I WILL shut up. but also the reason I have to go read about tidal zones is I realized one of my little motifs isn't going to work for the story I wanted it to so I have to research a different one. I will be accepting thoughts & prayers in this trying time.

I’m way behind on Tumblr. Barely keeping up on tiktok with Butch positivity.
all due respect to dean enjoyers but is the obvious vulnerability not what makes him interesting. the denial of it all. the fact that he is so easy to read even when he's trying his hardest not to be and that other people can understand him better than he understands himself sometimes. if you really want a character who bottles their own emotions up to spare other people's feelings to the point of christ-like self-sacrifice well then boy do i have the winchester brother for you.
all right well it must be said it's at least a little funny the overlap between the 'you fell for dean's facade' crowd and the 'sam doesn't know dean because dean puts up a front in order to protect sam' crowd. given that 'dean puts up a front to protect sam' is 100% a dean facade informed position where dean goes through spells during which he would very much like this to be true and attempts it bi-annually only to end several key episodes weeping in sam's arms about whatever it was he thought he was hiding. which he also wasn't doing successfully because sam has spent the interim begging him to acknowledge it.

like 3.07 to 3.10 pipeline typical for the rest of the show dean claims not to care about something, hunts recklessly and is cruel to sam or suspicious of sam or overprotective toward sam or all of the above while sam begs him to talk and points out that dean is putting up a front, and then 2 weeks later dean says (to sam) 'ykw crazy thing is. I do care about this. actually. you got me there!' pretending dean's truest self is happening during the weeks he drives himself and everyone around him crazy by not confiding in sam is. odd to me.
via @katsidhe LITERALLY see also @books-space-things and @chiisana-sukima who have fantastic & in-depth tags on this as an all-encompassing dean factor & special sauce. and it IS also a fourth layer of funny that when dean """hides""" something about himself from sam for sam's own good he'll be like. 'I feel totally fine about our dad dying very specifically to save me' or 'I feel fine about the ancient cursed thirst for violence and death eating me from within.' which is like, they are understandable things to not want to deal with, but. they are not convincing lies. it's just not believable. & wouldn't be even if dean were the most well-adjusted emotionally honest man on god's green earth.

this is a Dero vaga, a freshwater annelid worm that eats algae and builds a protective case out of debris including shrimp eggshells. The little clear thing on the other end of the case is her gill sticking out. Eventually she will divide into clones, which split the case and each take half for themselves
