So What They Are Doing Is Not Shipping. They Are Betting On Horse Races. And That Is Why They Are So

Jensen Ackles in Dawson's Creek

I don’t think it’s possible for human beings to look more sheepish than the Winchesters after the siren incident.

having an early seasons nostalgia (I've literally watched them a month ago) meltdown. man I loved seasons 4/5 but I miss when spn pretty much only depended on those two brothers. it still does and I love some of the newer characters but there was something SO magical about that s1-3 vibe that I can't quite describe. it's as spn as spn has ever felt to me. it's not perfect and it's p much what it says on the tin, just two dudes saving people and hunting things. no apocalypse to prevent or shit like dat. it's just Sam and Dean's microcosm. there are no other mcs aside from john and bobby,but they're not nearly as important as Sam and Dean. I don't even know where I'm getting at but it was just so enthralling to see these two dudes who haven't seen each other in a long ass time immediately deciding to hit the road together and even though their relationship is far from perfect and they're shit at communicating and there are so much unresolved conflicts it's nothing compared to the almost built-in love they have for each other. they're ready to risk it all immediately. idk I haven't slept much today but I had to dump this somewhere.

Isn't that the million dollar question!

“What matters is that you’re happy. Are you happy, Sam?”

Why does Jared

always sit/stand to the left

of Jensen?

I mean, every time they appear together

Jared is ALWAYS on the Left

I don’t understand wh- OH.

Oh.

Life makes a bit more sense now.

Listen are there any more fans who are literally into supernatural BECAUSE it was about monsters and horror and creepy folktales that they were already into? Cause that’s me.

My favourite thing about supernatural outside of Sam and Dean was the urban legends, the cases of the week where they would hole up in a motel and dig into the lore before going out in the fucking wild or into the strange local histories of small towns. I’m fucking obsessed with all this creepy shit. It wasn’t just about Sam and Dean for me- every podcast I end up obsessed with is about obscure local histories, folky monsters and secret societies.

Sam and Dean are weirdos. They are the things that go bump in the night just the same as the things they hunt. I LOVE them for that.

It makes me sad that the show attracts so many people that are like ‘ooh I skip over all the creepy stuff because I’m here for the drama and the homoerotic story I made up in middle school’ girl, I wasn’t gonna say it. But you’re appropriating goth culture. The creepy shit is literally the point here.

Go watch cutesy stuff lol. I wanna talk about cryptids and curses and backwood towns and ‘missing under mysterious circumstances’.

This is why the episodes of the week were so special.

I would actually say the less it focused on folkloric monsters of North America, the more boring it got. Like imagine Sam and Dean encountering MothMan and stopping a local disaster episode. Like, a Beast of Boggy Creek episode. A ‘Not Deer’ episode. Or even one with scary little cave gremlins, or ‘black eyed kids’. Even one where they explore a skin**lker case. (I’m obscuring it because the more I know about them the more genuinely terrifying they become lol) There’s just so many places they could have gone with scaling it down and making it more interesting, and keeping the brother dynamic going smoothly - which was when it was it’s most entertaining.

In the later seasons the writers kept making them talk about working cases but then interrupting it to play bullshit Angel demon corporate nonsense and inserting British villains. Like Red Meat was a fucking BANGER for a reason. It wasn’t set inside a magic building full of people strategising. It was in a cabin in the woods. It was the isolation that made it scary, the wilderness, vs a controlled environment, that made it feel like even though your characters are strong- anything could happen.
