this. this is why it frustrates me so intensely when people are all, ‘dean is such a bastard, he doesn’t even care that cas is dead!!11!eleventy!’ just because dean isn’t composing sonnets or sobbing on sam’s shoulder doesn’t mean that he isn’t grieving. it’s all there in the subtext. it’s there in his excessive drinking (which was a thing before bobby died, btw. before amy, too). it’s there in the way he folds that trenchcoat so carefully and takes it with him, like it’s an item of incalculable value and not just a ratty, bloodstained old coat that probably belongs in the trash. it’s there in the way he professes not to care while stoned, in the way sam and bobby tread on eggshells around him, in the look on his face every time somebody even mentions castiel’s name. he doesn’t just care that cas is dead, he’s gutted by it. and if people can’t see that i have to seriously question whether i’m even watching the same show.
a big fat AMEN, to all of the above
and this may be one of the most gorgeous gif collections I’ve ever seen.
