Family does not end with blood. Cas, Dean, Sam, Jack and everyone else deserved better.
Dean had been destroyed and re-imagined.
Sam got a disrespectful, hollow ending, also being deconstructed and changed along the way.
Cas and Jack not only forgotten by the creators, but erased.
It is like watching Crowley stop being himself all over again, but in 1 or 2 episodes. So disturbing and wrong.
Not even one of them got out unscathed.
And the best part? I still can see it. I still can understand what all of that means and I can respect the idea behind it. Author's view etc etc. But only if we are looking at the episodes apart from the rest of the show.
Then. Then it is completely and utterly disrespectful to fans, to characters, to actors, hell, to anyone invested.
They did that to Lucifer. Then to Crowley. Then to Gabriel. And now they had an audacity to do that to. Every. Main. Character. Remaining.
HOW. DARE. THEY.
I’m done keeping my composure.
Sorry, this will be a LOADED post! (And I’ll be repeating the points others have made)
for real, to everyone being nasty and telling heartbroken fans that “Dean was always supposed to die get a grip you’re just butthurt etcetera etcetera—” F you royally.
How dare you police the brutal feelings that’s been embroiling us since the Finale That Must Not Be Named aired.
The show you think you all watched, the show you all believe was the same SPN from Season 1-4, changed at some point. Kripke wrote his original vision, put it to screen, saw it through in S5 as he intended, and closed the door on that era.
In 2008, Supernatural was adopted and inherited. As you know, there was a supreme paradigm shift post-Kripke era. The show FLOURISHED (we won’t talk about Gamble thanks). It evolved, transformed, grew beyond trauma-induced self-worthlessness and toxic masculinity and endless death and hegemonic social ideals and conservatism and repressive anti-revolutionary ideas. Castiel, the iconic favourite and beloved staple of the series portrayed by Misha Collins, was introduced in Season 4 as the core lead character, and he ushered in a brand new era of Christian mythos that SPN took advantage of. Longevity SKYROCKETED. Audiences were INTERESTED. SPN amassed an incredibly groundbreaking fanbase infused by non-nuclear principles. A massive subversive wave began, fighting the Status Quo of the times since 2008. It’s precisely why such an abysmal ending to a show of extensive Freud-Jungian metanarratively meta META complex stature and social POWER will render us totally and unbearably broken for years to come.
Point is, DEAN WINCHESTER NO LONGER WANTED TO DIE. HE WANTED TO LIVE. HE WANTED TO SIT ON THE BEACH, PLUNGE HIS TOES IN THE SAND, AND SIP UMBRELLA DRINKS WITH HIS BROTHER AND HIS BEST FRIEND. He said this in Season 13. And then, a season later, he told the ghost of his long-deceased father — the source of his deep-running trauma and the figure of self-reductive authoritarianism permeating his arc since Season 1 — after being questioned why he didn’t pursue the Nuclear Fam, that he already has his own: his brother Sam, his adopted child Jack, and Cas.
Dean’s best friend Cas. Oh god, Cas, who made his inevitably permanent mark on Dean’s soul beyond allyship. Castiel, renamed to Cas, God’s -iel removed by Dean. Dean, the human spark that lit the fire of pre-existing autonomy in the inherently rebellious angel who was, this entire time, the catalyst for free will in God The Writer’s puppet show. Their friendship set on goddamn fire. I can also write paragraph upon paragraph about my love for Cas while devastated tears stream down my face, but I digress—
Cas’ romantic love for Dean pushed our main Heart of SPN to love himself. Love is free will. Free will is also love. Of note, Cas’ love confession in 15x18 was supposed to offset something so vastly important and fundamental…to maybe (read: most likely) pull the trigger on SELF-TRUTHS in conjunction with free will. And The Great Anticipated Follow-Up to the episode penned by the passionate Berens should have included (read: seemed like it was going to be) Dean, closeted trauma survivor in love with his best friend, being given the opportunity to do it right: to SPEAK HIS TRUTH, and then that very singular opportunity was STOLEN so grossly. After poring over it for days, I refuse to believe we made their years-long story up out of thin air, spun it out of fantastical-delusional dream cotton candy, because we DIDN’T. IT WAS REAL.
As I said in another post: “I’ve just been feeling physically ill for the past >40 something hours with the terrible knowledge that 19/20 undid years of vital progression towards healthy interdependence, autonomy, and a positive endgame, where Sam, Dean and Cas close the ring of found family in final empowering self-fulfillment…where Dean, no longer repressed and set free, is able to use his words and speak his truth as a queercoded trauma survivor, henceforth confirming and self-affirming his own bisexuality since S1 by reciprocating — by telling Cas that he always loved him, too, loved him endlessly, which would have altogether divested Supernatural of its cult status and catapulted it into global worldwide significance as the longest running sci-fi genre show in American broadcasting history that actually dared to defy and, by proxy, empower LGBTQ2IA+ everywhere who found profound personal meaning in Destiel through VALIDATION,” — found themselves mirrored in Dean and Cas’ respective character journeys individually and as each other’s queer love interests.
THIS IS WHY DEAN WASN’T MEANT TO DIE.
THEY WERE SO ESSENTIAL, NOT JUST TO THE OVERARCHING STORY AND HEALTHY INTERPERSONAL THEMATICS OF MODERN SPN, BUT ALSO TO THE SOULS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD WHO FOLLOWED THEIR JOURNEYS, HOPED FOR THEM, ASPIRED TO BE LIKE THEM, TREASURED THEM, WEEPED FOR THEM, AND FOUGHT FOR THEM, LIKE YOU AND ME.
Heck, how could anyone think Sam Winchester had a well-deserved characteristic ending? He didn’t. Dean’s brother was shafted so badly. He stopped hunting when seasons ago, he had canonically accepted that he no longer wanted an apple pie life. He simply…turned the lights off in a resoundingly empty bunker and left — abandoning his dead brother’s room — never to return (he did return later to get the Impala, family photos etc, I mean this symbolically)…as if — dare I say it — Supernatural itself eerily told us, in the negative-spaced pitch blackness, that the organic show and the wonderfully complex, matured characters we’ve grown to love weren’t going to survive or be revisited…that it was all going to perish, and that they no longer gave a single shit about their own show, which, to me, is the worst cardinal sin, because how dare they throw Team Free Will, an immovable and indomitable and passionate found family they built from the ground up, a found family CHOCK FULL TO THE BRIM OF LOVE AND LIFE RAGING AGAINST THE AUTHORITARIAN MACHINE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE FREE WILL, under the bus no matter who is to blame. Growth was stomped on.
Then Sam married a faceless wife who wasn’t his textually established (and deaf) love interest Eileen, named his son Dean Jr., and grew old miserably, still mourning the passing of his older brother, shaken and sombre. Back to square one. IT WAS ALL ANTITHETICAL, even OUTSIDE a shipping context, and I ripped my hair out at this point in sheer disbelief.
This 15x20 ending would have fit somewhere between S4-7. Now? IT DOESN’T FIT. IT’S A JAGGED PUZZLE PIECE THAT DOESN’T BELONG ANYWHERE. IT’S THE FOREBODING UNKNOWN STRANGER IN ITS OWN LAND, BOTH LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY. This kind of ending was basically an illogical, unsound cluster of metastasized cells that, to me, ruined the viability of previous seasons to sustain bold praise and respect and dignity and rewatches and classic nostalgia in such insidious ways.
Dean Humanity Winchester and Cas, after everything they’ve been through, were silenced and lost in death, ripped apart from each other, unable to love each other the way they deserved, because of disappointing, vile incompetency and homophobia. The greatest love story ever told, again obliterated in less than 60 hollow minutes.
You know what this tells your audience, CW SPN? Death without self-growth is the way to go, and no one is allowed to forge their own path to freedom.
HOW INSULTINGLY HARMFUL IS THAT?
I don’t think I’ll ever stop grieving.
We all deserve answers.
Another day at work means having to be in the same room as Mr. Winchester and having to take his calls and get his lunch all over again. I hated him with all of my well being and wanted him to choke. He taunted me a bunch and teased me every chance he got. He was just a menace in a suit and I was the girl that he thought was an idiot for continuing to work here.
Eliza Dailey is one of New York’s top assistants and graduated at the top of her class at NYU In Business Management. She is completely loyal to her work and doesn’t have a place for dating in her life. She hides her face behind big glasses and makes sure that she is always behind a computer.
Dean Winchester is the opposite of Eliza and plays all day. He graduated from Stanford with his little brother Sam, but mostly partied his way through school. He is everything that you think someone rich could be. Sports car, a mansion to show off, and a super hot model as a girlfriend. He would rather go to a club than be caught working numbers at a computer. So much for being the boss of Winchester Corp.
These two are definitely opposites. This relationship does not start out as one thinks. One hates the other, but the other admires that one. What will happen when they come together and start to fall for each other?
Coming out soon.
Female Characters that I envision to play Eliza Dailey. I included all races that I could think of so that no girl in the fandom would feel left out.

A really close family member just called me Dean Winchester’s beach(for the sake of there being kids on this website! But you get it…)…… anyone else wanna join me???😂😌
Everything points to me being so compatible with Sam, but my heart so wants an apple pie life with Dean instead.
Last night, I was reading Dean Imagines and I couldn’t help but think that Dean and I would have been together in a different world if given the chance. Anyone else?😂😂😂
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Native American Reader. Idea came from @tinymoony
Ever since he found out that you’re a pow wow dancer, he wants to go to more pow wows.(disregard this, if you don't pow wow dance.)
He starts listening to all the Native Rez Songs with you like, NDN car, Come and Get Your Love, and artists like A Tribe Called Red.
He surprisingly loves the music you've shown him.
Whenever there is anything that involves Native American Legends, especially with your tribe, Sam and him always look to you. You have friends all over.
He loves your hair and always plays with it or tries to find a reason to run his hands through it.
He tries all that he can to learn about your culture.
Whenever you guys always hunt near a reservation and go to a bar, other Native guys seem to hit on you.
This gets him jealous because he is not your ethnicity and thinks that you will leave him for those Native guys.(which you probably won’t)
He loves, loves, loooovvvveeesss when you talk in your language. He thinks its such a turn on and would love to hear you talk in it all day.
He especially loves when you say that you love him in your language.
He loves it when you tell him about the legends of your tribe. It makes him feel honored that you would even consider telling him.
There are many fights between who was better, cowboys or indians. You usually win those fights because he can’t think of a good enough reason why cowboys are better.
You finally give into his little cowboy fantasies and become his”indian princess”.
You have tried to tell him that there is no such thing as a Native American princess and that Cherokee Princess is actually a derogatory term, but he won’t listen.
He tells you that you are a princess in his eyes and that since you are Native American and his, that automatically makes you his “Indian Princess”.
You have to tell him that Indians are from India and how Columbus thought he had landed on India, so that’s how the nickname stuck. Then you tell him that it’s Native American or Indigenous.
He still won’t listen either and says that if Clint says so, then it must be true.
This makes you facepalm and gives him the silent treatment.
He hates that you won’t talk to him and finally changes it to his “Native American Princess”.
He dreams about having a family with you and about what your kids look like.
He never stares at anyone else but you.
He loves the way your skin looks and is just fascinated by the color.
Oh yeah, He definitely has a thing for Native Girls.
He loves how you help him and Sam learn your language, so that they both can start communicating with you that way. It brings a stronger bond between you both.
Cas is fascinated with your culture too and asks if you can hook him up with a Native girl too.
Sam is very protective of you and sees you as a little sister.
He likes watching Native Tik Toks with you. Afterwards, you teach him how to use Tik Tok.
Whenever fair season comes around, he dresses up like a cowboy and always wants you to dress up Natively(if that’s even a word….)
When you go visit your family, they always joke that he has to bring them eight animals of some kind and some land, if he ever wants to marry you.
This gets him freaked out a little, but after you tell him that it’s just a joke, he calms down.
Your dad makes him chop and haul wood whenever you guys come over.
Your mom teaches him how to make frybread when he comes over.
She’s impressed because he did such a good job on making the frybread round. Bruh…
This is quite a turn on for you.
You guys make Frybread night a thing and make Frybread together.
Your family jokes a bunch with him, but he doesn't mind.
He surprisingly gets all the Native Jokes.
He starts using Native Pickup lines on you.
This doesn't end well...
He loves you so much, that he asks you to marry him.
He loves how you get possessive of him whenever girls are around.
He loves how crazy and passionate you get about something. This drives him mad.
He finally knows who Adam Beach is...haha.....
He loves you and thinks that you are the most beautiful girl in the world!
