endless dean winchester - 43/∞

john + dean + sam // soft targets, the mountain goats

still in denial about their ending so here's their beginning

sammy birthday weekend - season 1

SUPERNATURAL — 2.13 Houses of the Holy

Born under a bad sign was CRAZYYY every piece of evidence pointed to sam killing an innocent man and he’s like freaking out going dean I’m a MONSTER you have to kill me and dean was just like who cares. Maybe he had bad vibes

An interesting excerpt the from “Route 666″ script that we never got to see(x)

this bit of accidental foreshadowing makes me fucking insane like sam is pointing right at DEAN

02.21  “All Hell Breaks Loose”

imagine how good and memorable season 7 could have been if they had focused mainly on sam hallucinating his abuser and recovering from his cage trauma and had used the season to really deal with the true horror of that. his hallucinations were powerful and realistic enough to convince him that dean had driven him to an office building when he was actually driving to an abandoned warehouse alone. that’s some really seriously reality altering stuff he was dealing with. who knows how far they could have gone with that? it would have been such an experience to keep it up and have the AUDIENCE constantly doubting reality alongside sam. 

some big bad side plot would be alright to keep the action going and of course monster of the week stories but imagine how powerful it would have been if sam’s deteriorating mental state and sense of reality had been the main driver and how creative the writers could have gotten with it? as well as some long lasting trauma effects besides the hallucinations. i mean it is debated but he had to have been in hell for well over a century. 180 years was always my estimate and its hard for me to even grasp that kind of a length of time seeing as its more than double an average human lifespan. he spent longer with lucifer than he ever did on earth or with dean. that’s genuinely so insane to think about. what does two lifetimes (possibly longer) of imprisonment and torture do to a person, especially someone who always has that nagging feeling that maybe they never really got out because their tormenter is literally lucifer and could genuinely be capable of something like that?

i know the cw does not know how to handle the trauma they put their characters through because even dean should have been more affected after his 40 year (40 year!) hell stay but something like that should deeply and permanently affect you. something that messed up should be dealt with in the narrative accordingly. i’m just saying all this because the only part of season 7 that really ever stuck with me was sam’s psychotic break arc and is the reason i rank it so highly on rewatchability despite not really caring about it as a whole because i go back and rewatch episodes like 7x02 and 7x17 more than i’d like to admit. i’m not saying it should be the sole storyline but it should have been way more present and constant and way more fucked up and scary. anyway

TLDR: season 7 of the cw supernatural could have been so iconic if they had focused mainly on one of their MAIN character’s trauma hallucinations instead of investing so much time into weird dick joke borax monsters

Sam + Winchester Logic

One of the main problems with late seasons spn is that you can see both sides of someone's face

hey remember how supernatural had a storyline in which they revealed that mary shelleys frankenstien was in fact based on the lives of a real family of nazi necromancers who were canonically responsible for 9/11
