“After all the crap we’ve been through, and all the good that you’ve done. Man if you don’t think that we’d die for you…”
fuck buckleming and fuck killing good characters off so that the brothers would feel ~guilty~ about lying to each other in their fucked up way to save the other. these two deaths do not make sense. fuck this.
I spent several happy minutes staring at the gifs and this is the best I can come up with:
As far as I can tell the table is actually pretty narrow but they all manage to sit ~1-2 ft from each other: Cas can’t get in the shot with Dean but he also has to lean considerably far over to get into Charlie’s space.
Unfortunately as wide as Dean’s knees spread I don’t think he was plausibly bumping against Cas’s leg under the table. :P
Thank you science side of tumblr.
This is probably just for my own amusement by this point, but regarding my bemused note “how long is this table?” I was just rewatching 9x13 as you do and there’s a lovely depressing shot of the whole kitchen right before the end:
The table is revealed to seat six (eight??) people and as far as I can tell has the weirdest stools ever? You kinda straddle them and I don’t even know, do they move around or something? I can see why they never normally sit in the kitchen. That table is weird.
At this point I barely care about the hows and whys of the Last Supper seating arrangement, I just want to know more about this table.
Anyway at one point in the scene Sam sits on the second stool in on his side (his same seat as the Last Supper as far as I could tell), and Dean’s on the corner stool (Cas’s stool) but he’s properly at the table unlike how Cas was kind of obviously on the corner. If you are desperately trying to focus on the melodrama for serious highly relevant purposes but actually find your brain drifting when Sam is talking, you can see Charlie’s stool is skewed off to the side in opposition to Dean’s seat in this scene (I’m now certain these things rotate):
I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t build a table with a corner chair as a permanent feature so I figure Sam’s stupid 10 mile long legs mean that stool is always kicked out to the side anyway, and … metaphoric of him creating his own distance?? Anyway it explains how Charlie was so much on the corner/basically sitting at the head of the table instead of on the same side as Sam if the stools rotate.
I feel like I probably should have absorbed something more in this scene aside from bafflement at the table, but all the Winchester drama flew over my head and I’m just like “LOOK AT THIS FUCKING TABLE.”
Holy shit, this is awesome. That table is awesome.
I’d say there’s six stools, so the question is whether Dean and Sam occupied the middle ones while Cas and Charlie had rotated theirs further to the end, or whether they were cramped up against the wall.
I’ve sat a table exactly like this before. They are very strange and honestly not that comfortable lmao. I’ve never seen one used in anything like a house -they’re normally just used at public places like bars or restaurants where they don’t want people stealing chairs. Idk why a MOL bunker would have them. Unless MOLs have a strange and notorious problem of stealing chairs. :P
The stools look really weird because they are attached to the table, but still moveable. Like, they swing around and stuff. It’s weird to sit, feels incredibly unstable, and you constantly feel like you’re gonna fall off between the swinging and lack of back support. 0/10 would not recommend.
Idk if that info will help anything in this conversation but yeah, these still can swing around, so you can swing yourself further from or closer to the people on either side of you.
To be honest I am now delving into this more as a fan fic resource than any serious speculation so your description is excellent. :P
The ultimate masterpost for writing conversations set in the Bunker’s kitchen.
If you can swing yourself further or closer towards someone, then it’s very telling that Cas leaned towards Charlie instead of actually moving closer to her.
extended ENTIRE EPISODE!! wherein charlie and cas stay up all night talking in the kitchen and charlie teases cas but hits the nail on the head pls–pls
