Not me listening, once again, to chariot by Jacob Lee and imagining a Saileen wedding where Jack’s the flower boy and Garth’s daughter is the ring bearer and Jack comes out to like a fourth of the way down the aisle and just dumps the entire basket on the ground and Dean has to run over to him and Jack’s like “am I in trouble?” But dean assured him he’s not and helps him to scoop as much of the petals as they can back into the basket and helps him properly spread them and of COURSE Bobby officiates and of COURSE Crowley acts like a drunken jealous ex the entire time and at the end when Eileen throws the bouquet she specifically yells “Hey Dean this is for you you lonely bitch!” And YEETS it aggressively at him so dean catches it and Cas comes towards him with a questioning look before dean rolls his eyes and pulls him into a kiss before separating and going “welp, looks like we’ve got a gay wedding to plan” and everyone laughs and then jack runs up to them and goes “My daddies are getting married??” And Dean’s like “yeah squirt we’re getting married, your daddies are getting married!” And also Claire and Kaia smoosh cake in eachother’s faces I’m so soft 🥺

Destiel off having a romantic anniversary dinner. Sam is babysitting Jack. Sam has fallen asleep. Claire has taken Jack and is now running to find the nearest Dairy Queen. Life is daijoubu.

I just finished Supernatural, I have no idea what to do with my life now. Help!

“we’ve lost everything, and you need to bring him back”

dean doesn’t like praying and thinks it too close to begging, and yet dean is begging chuck to bring everyone back, but apparently of all of these loses, including the loss of his mother, the one thing he describes as literally EVERYTHING to him is cas. widow era i guess

it's confirmed, my boy Jack is part of the team free will 2.0. Bless him

The Rules of Team Free Will:

1.  Must look good in plaid. 

2.  Must *vaguely* resemble some kind of animal.

3.  Must be able to look ridiculously attractive in literally any situation.

4.  Must struggle with feelings of paternal abandonment.

5.  Must have an addictive personality and/or alcoholism.

(Don’t look so innocent, Sammy.  We know about the demon blood.)

6.  And probably PTSD.

7.  Must be the object of at least one supernatural being’s affection.

8.  Must be a master of dramatic eye-rolls. 

9.  And bitch face.

10. And finally, must be able to die a lot yet remain oddly unaffected.  

Dean Winchester is the open wound in the body that is Supernatural. He is an infection that spreads until it poisons everything around him, no matter if It's a person or a plotline.

At first, he was just annoying and borderline abusive, something that could be explained by his upbringing, that could’ve been explored. There was potential for him to grow, to evolve beyond the toxic traits he inherited from John, to show that people can get better, that your upbringing didn't define you and for a bit, it seemed like he might. But as soon as he showed signs of becoming better, he ripped off the scab of progress and let the wound fester instead. Season after season, rather than improving, he got worse, getting more selfish, hypocritical, and abusive. Instead of healing, he became the rot at the show’s core.

The infection spread beyond just his character however, it consumed the entire narrative. Everything began to revolve around what Dean wanted, how Dean felt, and what Dean needed. The other characters stopped being people with their own agency and instead became tools, existing to serve and cater to his every whim. The story bent itself around him, sacrificing logic, depth, and complexity in favor of ensuring that Dean never had to face real consequences. It ruined the show’s potential. Instead of telling a story about how a bond like Sam and Dean’s (or even Dean’s relationships with Cas, Charlie, etc.) could help someone grow into a better person, they doubled down on Dean’s worst tendencies. Instead of evolving, he dragged everyone else down with him.

One example of how Dean’s toxicity didn’t just warp the narrative but completely destroyed a character is Castiel. Castiel represented something meaningful at the start: the idea that humanity, despite all its flaws, was still worth fighting for and that people can change and form their own opinions even though they've been controlled and manipulated before. He was proof that even among corruption and destruction, there was goodness that made it all worthwhile, that people can forge their own path if they believe in something and act upon said belief.

But, once the writers started throwing rotting breadcrumbs at the Destiel shippers, they stripped Castiel of his character and made everything about Dean. Instead of being a character with his own beliefs, struggles, and development, he was reduced to nothing more than an extension of Dean, an accessory whose only purpose was to suffer for him. And what did Dean do in return? Nothing good. He never treated Castiel as an equal. He constantly belittled and ridiculed him, acting as though Castiel’s sacrifices were either expected or irrelevant.

Castiel went from breaking free of heaven’s control, from questioning blind obedience and learning to think for himself, to willingly throwing himself into another toxic, one-sided dynamic where his needs and wants didn’t matter. He lost everything, his family, his power, his home, his life, and for what? Are we supposed to find it meaningful that Castiel’s entire existence was reduced to a last-minute, half-baked confession that Dean didn’t even acknowledge? That his death scene was brushed aside with no real grief, no impact, no weight? He deserved better than that but the writers decided it would be a good idea to have Castiel’s story amount to nothing. In the end, he was nothing but a footnote in Dean’s narrative, something that mattered for a few minutes before it lost its relevance.

But if Castiel was collateral damage in Dean’s story, Sam was the biggest victim.

From the very beginning, Sam had potential, potential for something beyond hunting, beyond the endless cycle of death and violence that consumed their lives. He had dreams, ambitions, and a future that should have been his. And every step of the way, Dean was there to tear him down. Long before the show even started, Dean was already keeping Sam small, making sure he never realized that he deserved more than a life of blood and misery. Dean wanted Sam trapped in hunting, dependent on him, tied to him forever and that pattern never changed.

He is obsessive and possessive, acting less like a brother and more like an overbearing owner who refuses to let Sam have any independence. The second Sam does anything without telling him, whether it's texting someone, making his own choices, or simply not answering a call, Dean immediately acts like Sam just opened Pandora's Box. He treats Sam’s autonomy as a threat, as if the moment he isn't constantly under surveillance, the world will fall apart.

But he's not just abusive he's also incapable of accepting his mistakes considering that Dean becomes aggressive and defensive as soon as they get brought up. Examples include breaking the first seal which was 'understandable because he got tortured', tricking Sam into getting possessed which was 'something he needed to do because he didn't want Sam to die' (no matter how much Sam wanted to), and locking Sam in the panic room to die because he'd "at least die human". Still, he never hesitates to throw Sam’s mistakes back in his face. Sam is never allowed to forget drinking demon blood, never allowed to forget trusting Ruby, even though she preyed on his vulnerability and caused his addiction to manipulate him. Dean also holds him responsible for being Lucifer’s vessel, even though that was quite literally decided by God. And yet, when Dean makes mistakes suddenly it’s not his fault, and everyone just needs to move on because they all made mistakes (especially Sam, apparently).

But Dean’s hypocrisy doesn’t stop there, oh no. Because when Sam was blamed for "freeing Lucifer," by mistake he alone was expected to fix it, but when Castiel knowingly freed Lucifer suddenly all of them needed to take care of it. The double standard is obvious and tells us the following: Dean plays favorites when it suits him, and when it doesn’t, he shifts the blame onto whoever is most convenient which more often than not, means Sam is getting blamed.

And yet, despite treating Sam like a scapegoat, he also treats him like a trophy, a possession, something he has complete control over. He needs to know where Sam is, who he's talking to, and what he's doing or he'll pretend like the world is ending.

But he doesn’t just control Sam, he's not just hypocritical and abusive, he also sabotages his storylines at every turn. I'm saying that because every time Sam had an interesting plotline, something that could have made the show richer and more compelling, something that could've made Sam stronger, Dean was there to ruin it.

Sam's demon blood arc? Reduced to a mistake Dean never let him forget about, rather than the complex story about addiction and manipulation that it could have been. Not to mention the fact that even before Ruby used Sam's grief to get him addicted Dean judged Sam for having the blood inside him in the first place; as if it was his fault Mary made that deal, as if Sam could have stopped yellow eyes as an infant.

Sam as the Boy King of Hell? Dropped without explanation and never picked up again (until years later for one minute that is). I personally think they dropped that particular arc because Dean would have been insufferable towards Sam during it which they couldn't do considering 'Dean is such a cool guy'. It was the same with Sam being psychic: Dean would never accept the fact his brother wasn't what he wanted him to be so the plotline was scrapped.

Sam's hell trauma? No need to explore it or show the lasting effects because Dean would be sad if Sam wasn't perfectly fine after his mangled soul got forced back into his body (by Dean, mind you).

Sam being suicidal? Why explore that if you can do other, more interesting things with Dean instead?

Even Sam’s relationship with Jack was downplayed. The parallels between Sam and Jack alone make it obvious that the relationship between the two of them should have been the focus of Jack’s introductory season. Sam, who spent his life struggling under the weight of what he was supposed to be, who was told time and time again that he was dangerous, that his powers made him evil, was the perfect person to guide Jack through the same struggles. But that wasn’t explored. The fact that Sam was raising the child of the man who abused and controlled him, the child of the being that essentially destroyed Sam's life and psyche even though he was probably scared to death every time he saw Jack wasn't explored either.

Jack’s entire story should have revolved around his relationship with Sam, the person who treated him with kindness, and who tried to help him even though his father was, like I said, the being who abused him for centuries. Their relationship should have been so much more but it wasn’t and why?

Because they needed to shove Dean into Jack’s story instead. Even though Sam was the one who treated him with kindness, who defended him, and who saw him as more than just a weapon, the writers made sure to include forced bonding scenes between Dean and Jack so that they could pretend Dean had always been the father figure. I'm sure they did that so Destihellers and the writers could pretend Cas and Dean were Jack's parents even though everyone who watched the show should know that isn't true no matter how much certain people might want it to be.

Alone the fact that Dean threatened to kill Jack should make that obvious.

The sad thing about all of this is that Sam was supposed to be the main character but when fans decided Dean was cooler, the writers catered to them instead of telling a story about the person that's objectively more interesting.

So in conclusion, Dean Winchester wasn’t just a toxic character; he was an infection that spread through the entire show, warping the story, ruining the characters, and dragging Supernatural down with him. Every plotline, every relationship, every moment of potential was sacrificed so that he could remain the center of attention. The show could have been so much more, but instead, it chose to revolve around the worst thing in it: Dean.

(I will make separate posts about Sam and Castiel as well)

Side note: I wrote this at 3 a.m. because I couldn't sleep and saw people waxing poetry about Dean on Twitter.

Dean, entering the living room looking at his clothes : Has anyone seen my top?

Sam : Castiel's in the kitchen.

Charlie : The last time I saw castiel he was in the library!

Crowley : I have no idea where the angel is.

Gabriel : Probably waiting in your bed~

Jack : He's trying to make waffles in the kitchen!

Claire : DAD DEAN IS LOOKING FOR YOU!

Castiel taking his head out of the kitchen : Dean?

Dean : I hate all of you.

Jack : The floor's lava!

Castiel : *helping Dean onto the table*

Gabriel : *kicks Sam off the sofa*

Charlie : There are two types of boyfriends.

Dean : I think I’m coming down with something. I’ve been so nauseous lately

Jack, seriously : Maybe you’re pregnant.

*they sit there in silence for a moment*

Castiel : *Visibly panicking Flying away*

Dean :

Jack : hun?

Later, Dean talking to Sam

Dean : I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot. Jack for suggesting that, or Castiel because he almost had a panic attack.

Sam dying of laughter : oH mY gOD!

Gabriel : Samsquatch is too tall for me to kiss them on the lips. What should I do?

Crowley : Punch him in the stomach. Then, when he double over in pain, kiss him.

Charlie : Tackle him!

Castiel : Dump him.

Jack : Kick him in the shin!

Sam : No to all of those! Just ask me to lean down!!

Dean : Jack, what do you have?

Jack : A KNIFE!

Dean : Okay, have fu-

Sam : NO!

Jack : How do Sam and Dean usually get out of these messes?

Castiel : They don't. They just make a bigger mess that cancels the first one out.

Dean, Charlie, Kevin, Jack, Gabriel and Rowena play Dungeon and Dragon. Sometimes Sam joins them. Kevin and Charlie take turns playing the role of the GM.

Cas is forbidden to play with them since he is too first degree

By the way, Charlie and dean have movie nights together, because they're both nerds. ^3^

(Sorry for the mistakes I'm not English)

Dean : *trying to get five seconds of sleep*

Jack poking Dean’s arm : Dean Dean. Dean. Dean.

Dean : WHAT?

Jack : …We’re out of Capri Suns—

if i had a nickel for every time castiel has stolen a straight couple's kid to raise them with dean as their own, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I understand it’s probably bc he’s Baby and all but like. there are not enough jokes about the fact that Jack is the actual literal antichrist. like. the fact that satan possessed the president and then slept with a monica lewinsky character insert and produced a ball of sunshine is already incredibly funny but. we’re sleeping on a world of comedy here. do you think Dean ever made him watch the omen movies?

Jack: Why did you kill that fly?

Dean: It was annoying me.

Jack: So we can kill things that annoy us?

Dean: Yes. Obviously.

Jack: Is that why monsters try to kill you?

Dean: Oh, you-

Sam: Better watch what you say, Dean.

Dean: Or what?

Castiel: Or you will look like that fly.

Dean: I'm just going to walk away.

Sam: Good idea.

okay i’m sure someone has said this before, but we were robbed of long-term cons/undercover stories on Supernatural.

like, all the hilarious scenes of them pretending to be anything other than FBI agents, but make it weeks of undercover work?

Sam goes undercover and Gabe keeps popping in at random times, so the entire frat house stages an intervention where they first go to Sam to tell him “buddy it’s okay, you don’t have to hide your boyfriend”

and then they go to Gabe and are like “listen if you hurt him, we will beat you up”

Sam and Gabe are not dating, but “oh no he’s just an angel who tends to fuck me over and help me, so i’m cautious” is not a good defense

so Sam and Gabe are dating now for the run of this undercover mission

Dean and Cas are continuously mistaken as a couple

they bring Claire and/or Jack along for a mission, and everyone goes “oh your teenage daughter/son —” and Dean can’t even tell them no

(like give me We’re the Millers vibes but actually funny)

there are fun montages where we switch between one Winchester brother of them at a tupperware party and another fighting a monster, and both scenes are framed as Scary AF

Bobby visits them while they’re undercover and he never comes up with a fake identity, he’s always The Dad

(they don’t talk about it, but Bobby goes very soft when someone calls him Dean or Sam’s dad)

Dean goes undercover with only Claire at one point, and everyone assumes he was a teenage dad and is now a single dad prematurely graying because Claire is a wild child, and Dean is like “no- actually you are correct that is exactly what happened”

Bobby and Ellen go undercover and their cover was friends, but everyone assumes they’re elderly couple who found each other post-midlife crisis and are both already divorced/widowed once and they can’t correct them

Cas goes undercover as a Beekeeper at least once

Jack is de-aged and Dean and Cas are suddenly a cute gay couple with a toddler in a sub-urban neighbourhood

they have all gone undercover as a mechanic

Dean has also gone undercover as a journalist/photographer, especially if it’s related to any kind of music business

Dean and Jo have gone undercover as friends but everyone went “oh hey dude is that your sister” so they just rolled with it and never talked about the fact that people looked at them and immediately saw their behavioural similarities, the way they smile in a similar way, and thought “family”

Claire brings Kaia along, and Cas is now a dad helping his daughter and future daughter-in-law moving into their new flat together (they actually want to keep the flat at the end of the mission)

Sam gets to be a cool uncle to Jack when he goes undercover as a highschool/college student

just, the potential!

gabriel, throwing an arm around jack: ah! my nephewlim!

Sam: So, I have to go to the eye doctor this week.

Jack: Yes, you need to get your vision orbs checked.

Sam: Ah... yes. My vision orbs..
