oh look another dean&cas iconic moment cheapened while pandering to incest fetishizers, an overt gay refference (bert and ernie are gay) grossly soiled by associating it to the two brothers

And actively acknowledged by both of them that it was icky? Nah, sorry, try again.

In an episode where the primary purpose seems to be hammering the audience in the face with the instruction manual on understanding subtext?

heck… sorry anon, you’ll need to go back and watch again.

Sam was to an extent an author-insert. I mean, he orchestrated the whole hunt, had a really meta encounter with his own double (characters usually interact with other characters’ mirrors) and then the bad guy literally got away from him so he blew a hole in the plot door to save the day. So that “ew” face was god-level commentary.

Perez is saying “you are not crazy to have noticed these things, they do point to something, and no it is not a sibling relatuonship.”

I actually commented on this even before the line people went nuts about at the end. The conversation went like so:

My girlfriend: Hey, a brother episode where the brothers are apart the entire time.

Me: Yeah, aside from whatever 3 minute “we did good” wrapup and punchline they can pull out of the end to mangle beyond recognition, they’re literally stuck having to read into the dialogue of their mirrors if they want to pull brother content out of the episode at all on a brother level. Subtext-as-text-for-dummies.

*3 mins from the end*

*We did good*

*lists off a bunch of things*

“Bert & Ernie”

“No”

“That’s weird.”

“Yes.”

Fam, lmao. I’m dying that in result they’re talking UP old Dean and Cas lines they dismissed, after this episode bashed it down for use in the bro-only lane, but they’re ironically somehow missing that one. Please, by all means, continue to endorse meaning behind these old lines while the actual GA that actually watches knows they recoiled at the use of it on themselves. Sksksk

like idk how obvious this can get

while y’all panicking? lmao they literally said it’d be weird for them to be bert and ernie

now just why oh why would that be weird?….

oh yeah because they’re gaaaaaay
