Meta writers, thoughts? :)

It’s so nice when they just make subtext into text for us. “Oh hey Dean here’s a dark double of someone talking to you about your own dark double who represents all the worst things about you and who you fear is actually who you’re destined to be and she’s telling you your own worst fear is true guess you’ll have to break away from that if you’re gonna be your own person.” Who could have predicted?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The “my little random moments of pleasure” series: Michael!Dean!!!!

mittensmorgul:

I KNOW RIGHT?!

I mean, it’s obvious that Sam and Cas have had some deep talks over the last few weeks. They just seem… more comfortable with one another. They’re bonding in ways they never have, and I love it. I’m so happy for them. :’)

Same with Jack. He’s really trying despite obviously feeling useless and adrift. Poor thing’s in shock. He literally had HALF OF HIMSELF hacked off just a few weeks ago, and he hasn’t really felt like he could focus on himself. Everything’s been about finding Michael and saving Dean… so he’s thrown himself into “training” to be able to be useful…. He feels he HAS to help save Cas, and doesn’t know where he belongs anymore. Sam may have had a chance to talk with him, and Cas gave him the little “we’ll do it together, we are family” speech that Dean gave HIM in 12.19, but there’s so much more to come here. :’)

Dinkle is a douche. Strangely, we’ve heard the word “love” come out of his mouth in ONE EPISODE more than we’ve heard it come out of Dean’s mouth in the last 13 years. I find this fascinating, considering back in s5 Michael told Dean that he was the perfect vessel because they were so SIMILAR and it’s like… Michael is the opposite of Dean in every way imaginable. I’m really enjoying that aspect of it, and I am excited to see how this haunts Dean for the foreseeable future. But I’m not loving Dinkle. I mean, I know we’re supposed to hate Dinkle on principle, and Jensen is kicking it at being hate-able, but yiiiiiikes the show feels like it’s lost something crucial and Dean’s absence aches like an open wound. We need our heart back. Even though he’ll be coming back wounded.

Mary and Bobby… BOBBY CALLED HER SUNSHINE. IN THE KITCHEN. OVER COFFEE. IN A BLATANTLY FLIRTATIOUS FASHION. Make of that what you will.

Sammy might never have stepped up as the Boy King of Hell, but hell if he isn’t stepping up as the Man King Against Hell. <3

CAAAAASSSSSS. He didn’t even wash the blood off his face, let alone heal those wounds. Almost like Dean in 11.03, feeling like it was a fitting punishment to have to endure the pain. D: I don’t even know if he realizes how much he sounds and acts like Dean in this episode. I remember Dabb joking at comicon about Cas trying to pick up the slack on Dean’s usual comedic banter, but it’s not comedic banter he’s picked up, it’s Dean’s place as Emotional Support in the Winchester family. And Sam is that for him, too. I LOVE ALL OF THAT.

So Dinkle doesn’t have a clue about what humanity (or Humanity) is. He’s entirely missed the point of Love, Free Will, and Forgiveness. He’s just… as one-track, single-minded, inflexible as Michael ever was. He is the epitome of Unfeeling Angel. I’m sure Jensen had fun playing that for a while, but I am now officially ready to have Humanity back now, thanks. This is not a villain we needed explained to us. We get it. We know what we’re working against, and it’s essentially The Opposite Of Dean Winchester.

13x23 “Let the Good Times Roll”
“This is the end. Of everything.”

This was proably the one scene that got me most about the episode, because this moment was just one of the most saddening and painful things to me, because in that moment Dean essentially stopped being Dean. And that long before he had even said the small word “yes” to Michael. Yes, to me the most saddening and heartbreaking thing here lies in the fact that Dean refers to himself as an object here. He doesn’t say “what if we worked together”, he doesn’t say “what if I became your vessel”, he says “what if you had your sword” and that makes all the difference in the world and to me drives the point home like little else how Dean is giving up being a person, giving up his individuality, his everything.

Of course this whole thread of dehumanizing Dean and treating him as an object is nothing new within the show, but has been an integral part of it since the very first season and looks back on a long tradition: from him being called “a good little soldier” (though that at least still saw him as a person), to being as “mindless and obedient as an attack dog”, to Amara using Dean as “a puppet” and most of all the show and some characters referring to Dean as “daddy’s blunt little instrument” or “a vessel”.

To me Dean referring to himself not even as “a vessel” (which is already an objectification) here (And can you remember with what disdain in his voice he used to ask Zachariah “a vessel?” when he told Dean about his status as Michael’s sword, because I can and it hurts!), but a tool and a weapon is truly one of the most tragic things ever, because even though the show and other characters have tried to make Dean an “it” and “object” to move around the board he always remained himself at his core, remained what makes him such an important and beautiful character: human. A person. With flaws and strengths, not an object.

So seeing Dean at the end of his rope giving in and “becoming” what so many always treated him as only truly is the toughest thing for me personally, because it just shows and emphasizes so clearly Dean’s disappearance (even though he thought he had made a deal - come on, Dean, you didn’t truly trust Michael, did you?) as a person and I can just hope that for that very reason that Dean is treating himself as an object here, he will also be the one to overpower Michael in the end all by himself by his sheer willpower and wish/strength of wanting to fight for himself. Because that, Dean saving himself and recognizing his own worth as a person would be one of the most important things for his character development and also vital in a long journey of healing (especially considering the trauma he will carry from this experience of being locked inside his own body and unable to interfere and take back control - yet).
