I feel like, with how natural this seems for them, they were definitely acting as federal marshals as teens and retorting with “Aren’t you a little old to still be working out in the field?”

flirting mode ON

SO ! i was gonna make a poll asking if jack: a. got his ears pierced at claires (store) at the mall with cas b. got his ears pierced by claire (novak) at a girls night c. neither? (wrong)

but i realized that was foolish because he did both ! first time with cas it immediately heals and pushes the earrings out (remember the tattoos?) and cas is like: [hand on shoulder] im sorry jack :( but then jack is hanging out with claire who takes matters into her own hands and has the bright idea to make the earrings out of the archangel blade! and they have a cute little trashy diy piercing session!

and maybe the guys get a little mad about the melting down of one of the most powerful and rare weapons they have to make jewellery

Fan art I drew of Ghostface dying in a glue trap

Understandable

Lol and hit CAs with a vehicle

Don’t you hit your faves with a car every once in a while?

Dean Winchester & hug dynamic analysis

I was thinking about how whenever Dean hugs someone he's almost always the one hugging the other and how this links to his psychological trauma of always being the caretaker of people, making himself bigger to protect them.

Because that's how Dean sees himself, as a shield for others, and then I thought about how Cas actually is the shield, and he's HIS SHIELD, specifically, the only one who's really there to protect HIM, which is why it hits so much when we see this:

The way Cas wraps his arms around him, trying to protect him with his whole body--that he'd use as a shield and give up in a second if he could spare him from any pain and save him.

(for context: Dean was about to go use the soul bomb on Amara there, it was a suicide mission)

Bobby is another one that hits, he hugs him as the big hugger because he's his father, he loves him and he's actually here to protect him (and Dean LETS him -barely, but he lets him *and Cas* - in a way that he doesn't let Sam)

I watched a compilation of Sam & Dean hugs to check if i was right about it, but it's almost always Dean the big hugger with Sam, except when he's about to die or Sam sees him alive again after losing him.

Even then, Dean mostly tries to hug Sam as the big hugger anyway, with at least one arm, like a way to comfort him, making him feel protected, like his body language is saying "I'm here, I'm okay, I'm still strong, i can still protect you" (because their real father failed and Dean thinks it's his job).

He rarely lets himself be the little one hugged with Sam, unless he's barely conscious. Which is why it kills me so much more now that in this moment (s14, when Dean was going to lock himself in the Ma'lak box cause he was possessed by Michael) and Sam has a desperate breakdown and punches him (to stop him) he forcefully hugs him as the little hugger, the way Dean always kept him, like a way of saying "I still need you to protect me, please don't do this to yourself".

In the scene below he gives Sam his blessing to do a dangerous (possibly suicidal) mission, and one of his arms is down, but the other one tries to stay up--he's forcing himself to do it and he struggles because he still wants to protect him, but (as the seasons progress) he slowly becomes more prone to let go.

So in this view the hug dynamic becomes an indicator of how Dean sees Sam (and himself) and his protector role, how adult and self sufficient he considers Sam, and how much he lets people around him take care of him, lowering his walls and letting himself be hugged.

This is also why i think hugs from characters like Garth or Charlie are so special, because they're just like us: they see Dean and they just know that he needs to be hugged a lot, and that he's not used to it, so they just go for it-- and it's so normal and kind and spontaneous that Dean's just not used to it-- he doesn't know how to respond (especially with Garth, at the beginning, but as the seasons progress, he learns to, and he even initiates the hug eventually).

I love the hugs where they're 50/50 (one arm up, one arm down both), feels like they're equals, both taking care of each other. I feel like with Sam and Dean, this indicates a healthier dynamic, because Dean lets go a little of the role that was imposed to him and manages to see Sam as the strong individual that he is. But the same applies to 50/50 hugs with other characters, like with Cas, where I feel like it testifies how equals they feel in terms of being fighters, there's a show of respect of each other's strength that transpires by the gesture (which is even more astounding considering that Cas is literally a powerful angel).

And just to end on a destiel note, I'd like to note the possessiveness and protectiveness of Dean (rightfully so) whenever he finds Cas after he thought he had lost him, and how that translates into his body/hug language:

Sam, Dean, Castiel, and Baby are standing behind Batman and Robin 😭

Reading Li'l Gotham and at first I thought to myself that this suited man looks like Death from Supernatural

and then I realized it fucking was!

need him in a way. not telling you which one

So tfw 2.0 have just wrapped up a case when Sam finds another one just a few towns over and since they're already there, they won't call up another hunter to do the job. But Cas, who was so on board for another hunt, is suddenly so cagey about it when he finds out which town specifically and he absolutely doesn't wanna go and keeps making up excuses and Dean confronts him like heyyy what's going on buddy, but Cas being Cas doesn't say anything. Eventually they get there and y'know they do their case thing, and somehow it leads them to going to a church. And Cas is EVEN MORE cagey about this and doesn't wanna go and tries to make excuses but they have a case to solve!! So eventually the four of them walk into the church, Cas dragging his feet the entire way and once they're inside, Jack's like "hey Cas, is that you?" and points to the stained glass self-portrait Cas made as godstiel and everyone turns to look, including other members of the church who were THERE when it happened and Cas can't fly away anymore but he does run

it’s so scary that fish teeth sometimes look like people teeth. you’re not supposed to have that. well maybe piranhas are scared of us having piranha teeth. i will reflect on my human centric worldview (folds my hands behind my back and gazes out at the horizon)

OH MY GOODNESS THAT POOR LITTLE BABY BETTER NOT DIE I WILL CRY, TINY ONES ARE MY WEAKNESS
