11x21 “All in the Family” God’s (True) Plan: Becoming Dean?
I have briefly talked about how uncomfortabel and worried this episode made me for Dean. And that even though Dean free will and physical and mental autonomy has been in great peril all throughout the season already with Amara effectively using mind control on Dean. As I mentioned during live watch now we see God overstepping and invading Dean’s privacy just as much as his siters does. It took me some space though to realize what we saw in this episode is actually much more than that. And it worries me deeply. Because what we have seen this episode is effectively Chuck erasing Dean, taking Dean’s place, ABSORBING him essentially. Much like Amara wants to consume Dean. Amara is after Dean’s soul to become one with her, here we see Chuck adopt some of Dean’s mannerism. And he said “acting is fun”…
Just look at this. First Chuck wraps himself in Dean’s clothes, then he proceeeds to eat the things Dean eats and finally also - after liking the long showers Dean was excited about when they first got the bunker- he uses Dean’s computer. I find this all very unsettling. Especially given how he tries to guilt trip Dean every which way and manipulates him. This really makes me wonder if God may want Dean as his vessel or if he studies Dean and “goes method” to disguise himself as Dean to get to Amara. In any case this is so MASSIVELY messed. Really, I thought it couldn’t possibly get worse for Dean. Turns out it can. I just want Dean to tell both Chuck and Amara to suck it and remain the one left standing despite all their manipulations. But what are the odds… ;___;
I’d have looked at this gifset and assumed that Chuck was a parallel for Dean, sharing the same pastimes and creature comforts, thus giving us yet more reasons to see Dean as bisexual (as we now know that Chuck is bi/pansexual), but then you went and said that
I JUST DONT GET WHY YOU WOULD JUST ABANDON THE “DEAN IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT CAS” ARC LIKE THAT??? DEAN WOULD NEVER BE OKAY WITH CAS’ VESSEL BEING USED TO FIGHT AMARA
