one am supernatural thoughts

[anundine]

rewatching supernatural really, really hammers home how young sam and dean are, really. they're just....they are so young, and it explains so much about why they make the stupid, stupid decisions they do. first time i watched this show, the were older than me. they were Adults, and Adults act reasonably and wisely, right? and now i'm watching this, and they're younger than i am, and of course they spiral like they do. of course they make dumb, reckless decisions.

also dean's just really pretty, and it explains his weird, self-conscious, hyper-masculine facade he projects at all times, because if i was a teenager with big eyes and a rosebud mouth growing up in biker bars and around john "toxic masculinity" winchester, i'd have a complex, too.

The internal scream of 'oh my god where are your parents? Where are any responsible adults?!' Amiright?

(I just googled and apparently in season 1 Dean and Sam are 26 and 22 respectively. OhMyGOd.)

e x a c t l y. like. holy shit, i know they're adults technically but boy howdy do they seem to need adults around??? and what absolutely Wrecks me, just makes me furious and sad all at once is how they do, you know, ask adults for help. the whole first season they keep calling their dad and john ignores them for whatever selfish reason. excuse me, sir, those are your children, take care of them you self-absorbed loon. (there's a comparison to be made with bobby here, because bobby comes for stupid things like the trickster and john didn't come even when dean was literally actually dying.)

(they're so young. they're so young, that's so young, holy shit i can't imagine dealing with one tenth of the shit they do at 22. my god.)
