Ironically just watched this today. Due to personal reasons and long time conversations I got an actress from The Outpost (adjacent CW show, Tuesdays, Summer) to binge watch SPN for the first time, and she’s up to this.She did the S8 finale/S9 premiere as a periscope stream(if you enjoy watching new fans suffer, it’s worth it) and we all cued up alongside her to watch while watching her reactions and oh my god it was glorious and this is one of those scenes that it’s like “why do I underrate this enough to not think about it.” She’s up to halfway through S9 since this.
do you ever think about how weird it is that the moral of Frankenstein is kind of less just “graverobbing is weird and creepy” and more “take some fucking responsibility if you’re going to do so”
“if you’re going to create a large corpse son, you better be ready to love him”
Dean dressed as Cas (he even has a collar with plaid inside, I mean) except for the brown jacket hooks up with a girl in a brown jacket. But it doesn’t end here:
There is a picture of a boat and what looks like a dog with the sign LOST.
It’s almost like the people who make the show are trying to get a point across.
Also pay a little attention to this exchange:
He doesn’t want the healthy omelette, he wants pancakes, but the omelette is there, so… he’ll deal. Almost like he’s settling for something that is not what he really wants but is there. While semi-cosplaying Cas in Gus’ BS.
I rewatched season 12 recently and I realized that this whole hook-up with the waitress happened because Dean had been calling Cas in every episode before this one and Cas kept ignoring him. He’s upset and falls back on old habits.
He’s abjectly upset about both Cas and Mary abandoning him at this point so yup, the girl looks like a carbon copy of young Mary (ew) and there’s sun imagery (Cas) all over the bloody cafe.
Meanwhile giant BS signs everywhere from the diner’s logo while he settles for the omelette instead of the pancakes he really desires.
At “Gus’s” cafe no less. Remind anyone of Cus’s cafe from Bad Boys which exposes the previous storyline of Dean giving up his romantic love interest to protect Sam? Right after he kicked Cas out of the bunker to protect Sam?
*yeah sure these are totally irrelevant*
This ep was also written by Dabb’s understudy FYI.
A girl I liked convinced me to stab a man, so I did. Felt guilty for a bit, then promptly forgot about it and walked around with the murder weapon for a couple of hours, going about my business, walking my dog. Eventually I was cornered by a plainclothes police officer who asked me why I had a bloody knife; I told him I was looking after it for my bogan cousin. He said, “You’re under arrest,” and I was like,, “No, I’m not, watch this,” and then I woke up.
cool girls are everywhere but its such a challenge to find one guy thats like mildly interesting to talk to……. it’s like they all have the personality of an actual adidas sandal

Any story claiming to be a deconstruction of fairy tales but has nothing to offer except new types of violence, more explicit sex, and a general attitude of “lol happy endings aren’t real” is like. such a cultural waste of time tbh
know what actually is a good deconstruction of a fairy tale? Shrek. It fucks up just about everything in a normal fairy tale and still manages to have a happy ending with a good message and never once has to be ‘gritty’ or ‘dark’. It’s actually really well done.
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
– Ursula LeGuin, ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’
In dark times such as these, it is absolutely revolutionary to be happy.
@pictures-and-rambles I feel likethis is relevant to the conversation we were having earlier about being tired of gritty realism.
