Note: I’m currently rewatching the entire series. I’m on disk 2 of season 4. I still love this show so fucking much, and I keep getting all these fun ideas. Here’s one of them.

He opens his eyes. Uncurls, glances at the candles, the symbols. “Ruby,” he murmurs. Smiles slowly.

Resumes the ritual.

(no subject)

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed writing the codependent Winchester boys.

Rewatching Supernatural season 4, part 2

“A straight-forward black and white case,” says Dean in black and white.

.

Oh my gosh, Sam’s face as he watches Dean go after the pretzel.

.

Oh my gosh, their reactions to the witness.

.

This is the most brotherly they’ve been since the season started. Oh, boys. I love it.

.

Why didn’t this dude run from the mummy? It’s not like it can move very fast.

.

Dracula!

.

On a scooter.

.

A “very near death experience,” Dean? Really?

.

Sam: It’s supposed to come off.

Guy whose ear Sam just tried to rip off: No, it’s not!

.

I love the cape.

.

The pizza scene! The pizza guy! This is hilarious.

.

Why do they always pick the front door? Why not the back?

.

They are so brotherly in this episode.

.

Dean’s starting to get scared, and it’s adorable.

Oh, and here’s the itching.

.

“Am I haunted? AM I HAUNTED?”

.

So now Sam’s getting a taste of what it’s like being a big brother. *hee*

.

Dean: I don’t wanna be a clue. *pouts*

.

And here Dean does something he has never done before: runs away, leaving Sam in danger

.

While I like this episode because of Dean’s freak outs, I really hate what happens to the ghost.

.

Eye of the Tiger! This is such an awesome blooper.

.

And then at the end, you can see the moment Dean becomes Jensen again.

.

They are totally mispronouncing Samhain, right?

.

Are the boys seriously using a different alias with every witness in this town? Because that’s subtle.

.

Oh, no, here’s where the angels totally blank Sam. It’s so sad.

.

Is this where the last of Sam’s faith dies? That’s bad for literally everyone.

.

STOP LYING TO EACH OTHER YOU IDIOTS. IT ALWAYS ENDS BADLY.

A L W A Y S.

.

Dean and Sam, trying to figure out what’s going on in a town with first a not-ghost ghost and now a Bigfoot:

Dean: I got nothin’.

Sam: It’s gotta be a joke, right?

.

THIS IS THE TEDDY BEAR EPISODE.

.

“We’re teddy bear doctors.”

I remember almost dying, I was laughing so hard, when this first aired.

Sentient Giant Teddy Bear: Close the friggin’ door!

Dean: *silent, wide-eyed stare*

Sam: *silent, wide-eyed stare*

.

Sentient Giant Teddy Bear: Why am I here?

Audrey: For tea parties!

Sentient Giant Teddy Bear: For tea parties? Is that all there is?

.

Sam: Are we - should we - uh - are we gonna kill this teddy bear?

Dean: How, huh? We shoot it, burn it?

Sam: I don’t know. Both?

Dean: How do we even know that’s gonna work? I don’t want some giant, flaming, pissed-off teddy on our hands.

.

The sentient giant teddy bear has lollipop disease. It’s not uncommon in a bear his size, but it is highly contagious.

.

How many fake IDs do they carry on their persons at a time?

.

Dean: What would Sammy wish for?

Sam: Lilith’s head on a plate. Bloody.

Dean: Okay.

.

I’m glad Wes realizes on his own that this is a horrible situation, but still. A whole month?

.

They each menace amazingly on their own, but simultaneously? It’s awesome.

Wes: Are you the guys from the Health Department?

Sam: Yeah. And florists on the side.

Dean: Plus FBI. And on Thursdays, we’re teddy bear doctors.

.

Superstrong kid: Kneel before Todd! KNEEL BEFORE TODD!!!

.

I just love the way Dean is with kids.

.

Dean: tells Sam he’ll never understand Dean’s experiences in Hell

Me: Aw, give it a couple of years.
