summoned up the courage to remember the existence of the spn finale and immediately thought about how dean starts the show accusing sam of wanting an unattainable “apple pie life” and then in the final episode dean is shown having that apple pie life (literally), but he chooses to reject it and commits passive suicide instead because it’s an ending that refuses to allow him to be with the people he chose as his family
love the fact that dean literally spends 90% of 7x01 just fixing his car and stalking godstiel on the radio, occasionally giving an approving nod over his various war crimes
so when chuck says. at the end of swan song. kinda outta the blue. that dean didn’t want cas to save him. does that mean. that if cas hadn’t left for heaven. and he and dean had spent that year together. then cas could have saved dean. in ways that even lisa and ben couldn’t. is that what chuck is saying.
watching early seasons of spn be like, crowley…. is evil?????
anyone else ever think about how “the man who would be king” is framed as castiel’s prayer to his father for a sign as to whether or not he’s on the right path, and it ends with him defeated, thinking that there is no sign. but that sign. was literally dean. he tells cas at the end of the episode that he isn’t going to “logic” him with reasons about why opening purgatory is a bad idea, and instead asks cas to stop, “just cause.” he demands that cas have faith in his judgement the same way god asks for blind faith. and that. that was cas’ sign.
