It is so amazing because every time I see a gif of Sam being possessed, you can just tell. You can tell – even without the blue eyes, or the black eyes from when he was possessed by Meg – that this isn´t Sam. This is someone else. Just by his body language and expression that Jared isn´t playing Sam in that moment.
Like, seriously, Jared is an amazing actor. If anyone tell me otherwise, I will sacrifice them to Satan
Even my mum can tell if it’s not normal!Sam, and she has barely seen an episode. I think it was a soulless!Sam gifset that came up when I scrolled the dashboard, and I told her that Jared is amazing, and she’s like “yeah, that really doesn’t look like Sam, even I can see it o.o”. (But actually she was waiting to see more kittens on my dashboard, you all need to reblog more kittens.)
his acting ability really hits me like i was driven to make this gif while gathering clips for a destiel video
they’re not just talking about dean. they’re talking about each other. they’re talking about sam.
you know, honestly i don’t think sam really thought that was going to happen when they took jack in. he’d be a good mentor, a good role model, maybe be like an uncle figure. he knew he would teach him and guide him as well as keep him safe, but i think he thought it’d be like when he helps out claire.
somewhere along the way, jack became not just cas’s son. he became his, too. he became a son to all of team free will.
sam talking to cas about them having lost people before…. he wasn’t just talking about dean. he’s also talking about himself. “why does this hurt more than when everyone else died? why can’t i compartmentalize my emotions like the other times?” sam is trying to understand why he’s hurting this much as well.
as cas points out, losing your child suddenly is vastly different than losing a parent or a close friend. it’s unnatural. especially when that child has only been alive for such a short time.
so yeah i know some people choose to call sam jack’s uncle and i know they don’t mean anything by it (some have a reason i can empathize with), but i really think personally that “uncle” really doesn’t describe sam and jack’s relationship. it doesn’t really feel like it adequetely covers the depths of sam’s love for jack.
(on a side note, this whole episode made me think of a line from john q)
this moment about sam remembering jack’s birthday?
dean blanks completely and sam remembers exactly.
sam remembers for the same reason dean forgot: it was one of the worst days of their lives.
their mom is gone. their best friend was murdered. and they had what they thought was a scary powerful creature on the loose.
and what i think is amazing is that even though it was the worst day, it was the start of a significant and beautiful change in their lives.
The LOOK Dean gives Sam.. That’s…not just startled Sam is quick to name a date. Look at how Dean shoots a very hard stare. His face shuts off, it looks like Dean tenses up, even fight-or-flight mode for a split second. Why? Because Dean does remember That Date but not as Jack’s birthday. It’s the date Cas was murdered in front of his eyes. That’s, I think, what Dean’s mind goes to first when Cas says that date. Then when Sam explains it’s Jack’s birthday Dean relaxes.
yes EXACTLY. i didn’t add that deeper destiel analysis on this post because i was focusing on them becoming dads and jack and feels related to that but YES
“forgot” is the wrong word. dean didn’t forget. buried deep to try and forget, yes. but he never could. not for as long as he lives.
jack’s birthday
