Oh look.

The hunters are getting assigned elsewhere and moving out of the bunker. Almost like they’re expanding their network and probably using the other chapter houses they’ve found like mini-bunkers, like season 13, or like I’ve been yelling about since season 12. Almost like the weird hysteria over this that I’ve pointed out is a short term thing designed to make us uncomfortable but also lead us towards end game objectives fulfilling Winchester legacies is going to pan out pretty hollow and it’s all going to work out for the better.

Wild.

Also points for Jared Fucking Padalecki, 

Padalecki added that “As you know, the Winchester brothers and Castiel don’t take anything lying down. So they’re going to try and figure out every single way [and] go to the ends of the earth [to help Jack]. Jack’s become a family member, much like Castiel become a family member in season 4 or 5 or 6 [when] they really got on the same page. And so they’ll treat Jack with the same respect and go after his survival with the same fervour that they would [do] with any members of their family.”

JARED 🙌

“the sharp knife of a short life”

yeah it’s the lyrics to if i die young SHUT UP

(analysis behind the cut)

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)

Wine, Honey and Cheese

intelligentshipper:

So my girlfriend just tried to break down the immortality that is J2M.

Her first assessment, about Jensen, is common: He’s like fine wine, he just gets better with age. He doesn’t really age, he just… improves.

Then there was Misha, who she described like honey, which is that it really doesn’t change as long as it’s in the right conditions, it stays good, sometimes it looks a little funny but once you tilt it a few times it resets back to its original state

Then there’s Jared

She’s convinced people will misunderstand her so let me preface this with EVERYBODY (but vegans) LOVES CHEESE

It just gets sharper and tastier, but ends up completely like, unrecognizeable from where it started at. That’s Jared. Jared is cheese.

I’m gonna leave this tasty party tray here and run away now.

this makes perfect sense

jack’s birthday

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.

Gagreel headcanon

intelligentshipper:

I have an entire gag reel headcanon about this episode, starting with Misha having to deliver the line “he’s taking it hard” to Jared, and that taking about 2 times before they got enough to edit together.

Then, the seeming J2M crack at the end when they all looked relieved when Jack seemed OK at first,

but on closer inspection it seriously looks like mild J2M recovery giggles between them, how much do you want to bet that was cut around after Jack fell down Jared dropped “he’s taking it hard”

Fight me.

that’s exactly what i was thinking! that’s definitely a misha smile™️
