Decided to finally make one of these funky little guys
It’s my 18th birthday! I’m an adult now! (Using a tangled gif because it’s my favorite movie and Rapunzel is also 18 for her birthday)
GOD. SAM SHOULDVE KNOWN EVERYTHING ABOUT LUCIFER.
He should’ve known it wasn’t Cas from the second they got back. He should’ve known where Lucifer would go, he should’ve known all his plans.
They were together for DECADES. And Sam knows nothing? I refuse to believe that.
Casifer makes one movement, says one thing after coming back and Sam sinks to the floor, screaming “That’s not Cas.” At the top of his lungs and Lucifer is QUICK with his “Never could’ve fooled you, Sammy.”
I made it to fan fiction!
Cain my beloved, Sam knowing serial killer stats is also pretty cool and fits his character
tbh a lot of the ways jack’s infantilization pops up is in discourse around him and dean and their relationship , especially after Mary’s death in game night. because everyone’s relentlessly clinging to the idea of jack as a pwecious widdle baby who can do no wrong, there’s this unanimous refusal to give him any accountability whatsoever for anything he does, particularly with killing mary and hurting dean so severely in the process. instead, everyone decides that dean is the bad guy for reacting to his childhood trauma unfolding again after he’d finally healed from it and got her back.
I mean spn fans fundamentally do not see jack as an autonomous person so it only makes sense that nobody can put him on equal footing in any of his relationship dynamics, but to vilify dean for having a very justified reaction to his fucking mother dying again is just an insane thing to do in the name of woobifying jack. yes, it was entirely accidental and yes, Jack is equally as traumatized by it, but that does not take away from the fact that what he did directly emotionally damaged sam and dean.
not only would a lot of fandom discourse benefit from realizing these are literally not normal functional healthy people dealing with normal situations that give them the liberty to approach said situations in normal functional healthy ways (dean promising to kill jack if he needed to in 13x02, & shooting jack in 13x23), but it would also benefit from realizing that jack is a grown ass invulnerable demigod with the capacity to cause a lot of major damage if he spins out of control, and he bears full responsibility for that damage (which is why it is actually so fucking stupid whej I see ppl say that jack becoming a baby would magically fix their conflict. no it fucking wouldn’t, you just don’t see jack as a full person with direct responsibility in said conflict and you don’t care about their relationship actually being healed mutually).
on the other hand, dean was reacting to a presumed threat almost immediately after losing two of his loved ones in a situation directly related to jack. he has every right to be wary and cautious, and given that he is actively traumatized and already an emotionally dysfunctional person from being abused by John, he isn’t exactly going to outlet his trauma healthily or behave in a way that miraculously breaks the cycle John created. I’m getting tired but lastly, ppl should also realize that jack is a grown ass adult with the emotional maturity to understand and forgive dean for the way he acted before—even while Dean actively struggles to forgive himself and tries to be as good a father as possible to make up for it.
Because again, their situation is not normal and they have no way of treating it or reacting to it normally. as far as jack knows and has seen of his powers, he is dangerous and is able to reach a point where he’s too much of a threat to keep alive. the tragedy of it is that he doesn’t want to be a threat, he doesn’t want people to fear or hate him and he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. that’s why he says “you were right all along” in moriah. between dean and jack, a huge facet in their relationship is the question of whether or not dean is right, and by the time they’ve reached a point of mutually seeing each other as father and son that question is up in the air as something neither of them want. jack never wanted dean to be right, and now that dean knows jack as a person and as his own kid he especially doesn’t want to be right anymore.
just. Please start thinking of Jack as an actual autonomous person. That is literally all it comes down to. It will open up your world

hiiiii i want to hear about your thoughts with jack and death in particular (your posts are fascinating when youre dissecting him like a frog in a bio class <333333)
you're asking the right guy about this.
i think people forget that a huge part of jack's character is also in part how accepting and ready he is of death. he is pretty actively suicidal several points throughout the show!
going to sound insane here but i think the best showcase of jack's passive nature to his death is not in s15 where he's doing it in self-sacrifice. i think it is s14e20. moriah.
we watch jack actively kneel in front of dean. he tells him he understands. it mirrors back to s13e02. what is jack? he is a monster to himself. he is everything unnatural. unhuman nature is an episode title and it's all about jack. too angel to be human, too human to be angel, too wrong to be good. that's his own view! he welcomes death because he was never supposed to exist anyway! he's fine letting dean kill him there because he thinks dean deserves the chance of putting down another monster of the week.
dean doesn't. his free will wins and his love for jack wins. jack still dies, he just didn't die to the person he would prefer to die to.
