sam and dean being Known serial killers who have been on the fbi watchlist for a decade and have faked their deaths multiple times is actually very funny. I like to think literally everyone in town knows they're wanted by multiple US agencies but are like. they've evaded arrest so many times. do we really wanna anger the serial killers? no one in town has been killed let's not push it. and then the longer it goes on they begrudgingly start to like the winchesters because they tip well and are generally helpful around the community. plus their son is an absolute delight and everyone wants to figure out what's going on between dean and the weird trenchcoat guy who hangs around sometimes. like, they can't turn them into the cops before getting resolution on their relationship! the town has a betting pool! sam starts a community garden and dean jumps at the chance to help with odd jobs if he over hears people complaining about something when he's hanging out. they're politer than most of the normal locals.
you know how some towns are like 'oh yeah that's the house where the Witch lives'? everyone in lebanon is just like 'there's the nuclear fallout shelter where our local serial killers live ❤ they're pillars of this community ❤ snitch to the feds and the town will band together to eliminate you❤'
as a celestial being, jack chose to age himself up so he could have autonomy and decision making. it’s actually so frustrating and heartbreaking to see that taken from him after he fought so hard to have it by being constantly infantilized and used as a prop. like obviously jack isn’t a real person, he is a character and therefore doesn’t feel things like the autistic people in the fandom that actually see the real world effects of ableism, but i have a strong suspicion if he was he would not like how he is perceived by the majority of the fandom. his reality is bloody and goofy and full of scales tipping too much one way or another. he is sensitive, he is kind, he is ruthless, and intense. many autistic people are contradictory and we see y’all take our complexities within him. and we also see him watered them down into something more palatable. we have anger, rage, the highest stats of self harm and substance usage, we are locked away for losing control, we are killed for it. all of these things are so relatable to jack as a character and it’s such a disservice to autistic young adults who see themselves in a character to see them infantilized and basically lobotomized, because damnit not children stuck in adults bodies and most autistic children don’t get to be themselves. we are seen as either babies or threats and if that isn’t jack, idk what is. i think because of this, much of the content surrounding jack is OC and OOC purely because of how much different he is, based on how much is stripped. it feels like people don’t see that because they only see his mask when that’s only one part of him. jack is an all encompassing character and i really wish we saw more depth with him in art, fics, etc besides just being a baby. maybe it’s because im an autistic adult who never got to be a child and who everyone loved as a baby when i didn’t have problems, but it reeks of ableism to give an autistic person an entirely different personality and age to make them more digestible to the allistic/neurotypical reader.
THIS IS WHAT I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT! It’s not “Jimmy’s soul thinking the woman is hot” IT’S CAS! CAS LIKES WOMEN! CAS LIKES MEN! CAS LIKES HUMANITY! He was uncomfortable with the sex workers because he had never been in that situation before! It wasn’t a gay panic, it was a bi panic! He obviously liked the straight pizza man stuff that was on the tv, and even used it on Meg! He constantly flirts with Meg while being cuckoo with Sam’s trauma, and has a wife as Emmanuel! After he gets his memories back, he flirts with Meg yet again and even shows interest in “moving furniture” with her! He ends up married to the djinn queen somehow! He gets flustered when Rowena flirts with him! He wasn’t disinterested with Hannah in her original vessel, he just didn’t see it as an appropriate time for them to be doing all that when they had a mission! They literally kissed in the next scene after that! Yes Hannah chose a male as her second vessel, but her first vessel didn’t want to be a vessel anymore! I’m sure Hannah chose the closest vessel she could find! Castiel sees the true form inside of the body, not the body that Hannah was inhabiting! We learn this with Sister Jo when Michael visits her in Dean’s body, we’re shown his true form through her eyes! It envelopes the entire vessel! Castiel loves souls and true forms! He called Meg beautiful even when he could only see her true face! HE HAD SEC WITH APRIL AND BOASTS ABOUT IT! HE CALLS APRIL HOT AND WANTED MORE WITH HER BEFORE SHE BETRAYED HIM! This is all over the place but it’s all true and can be seen through context clues, the script, facial expressions, and body language! Dean seems to be Cas’s only fully 100% male love interest in the whole show! Throwing away all of Cas’s history because of the love confession is bogus! Rah rah rah rant over, the point is Castiel is QUEER. NOT STRICTLY MLM/GAY!
Honestly, one thing that bothers me quite a bit is the amount of times I see people define Cas as a gay man. He isn't a man. Nor gay. He has no gender and he is bisexual. I know his love for Dean shines like the sun and blinds like it, but Cas has shown interest in women too a few times. He is a bi angel. He is the queer angel.
I’m on season 12 episode 4 now! So close yet so far from Jack, but hey I’m close to Kelly time!
my absolute favourite thing about that last post is the amount of people who clearly haven’t watched supernatural in years leaving notes in the tags like MAN i miss when supernatural was good. do you guys remember this. this was the PEAK of supernatural and it all went so downhill after this. and it’s like you’re right babes supernatural never WAS this good. because that’s smallville.
if jack kline. when he uhhh. erm. when he? yes or no.
undoubtedly
I would use it every single time
i’m not ever going to get over the fact that sam didn’t know dean was the one who carried him out of the fire until he was 22 years old
(trying to explain babyjack in the destiel language so they can understand what I’m saying)
so you see it’s like if dean’s one-off improvised “baby in a trench coat” comment to cas in 6x19 got taken far too literally and everyone decided that either Cas or the show would be better off as an actual baby in a trench coat being babysat by Sam and Dean instead of being a former angel of the lord and later member of team free will. so they completely ignore his actual character and relationship dynamics to keep the baby thing going, make it almost entirely impossible to enjoy or engage with any content about him because it’s all nothing but the same baby-Cas being babysat drivel and there’s no sign of nuanced discussion to be seen.
maybe it gets switched up with Bobby as the babysitting uncle instead of Sam and Dean but that’s as different as it’ll ever get. eventually trench baby Cas gets so over-saturated within the fandom that it becomes regarded and touted as the show’s own gospel truth instead of the silly fandom joke it started as. destiel is of course completely nonexistent, because Cas is a baby and dean is his babysitter-dad and that’s weird, right?
but if you try to say “hey no, that’s actually a grown ass gay man who loves dean romantically and he’s an equal part of the family, this baby stuff was never real and the canon textual evidence actually shows he’s a grown ass gay man who loves dean,” you’ll get thrown in the corner with a shame collar because everyone is still so insistent that their baby-being-babysat dynamic is the real textual deal. mmkay?
It’s the secret Angel agenda, you wouldn’t understand
there really is no logical reason why cas' voice is lower than jimmy's
kissing the makeup artist who gave him blood streaks that look like tear tracks
