and now it’s time for rachel procrastinates even on the things she enjoys (with lil dash of denial, probably) so now she has a day and a half to rewatch thirteen episodes of supernatural before it comes back on thursday 
#BackAndToTheFuture i maintain that if the opening of the hellmouth included indefinite dusk or sudden midnight like we saw in the graveyard continued over these first three episodes the ghosties’ vfx would’ve gone over sO much better
this shot still slaps

Sam: it is essential you stay out of the quarantine zone until it’s safe
ahahahaaaahaha classic case of art imitating life, or art predicting the future? *eye twitch*

#TheRupture i really love so many things about this ep—rowena, cas’ utter contempt and sass at belphegor, dean’s goodies-never-day-die fighting attitude, sam’s empathy toward rowena
just wish i was more invested in the dilemma at hand that we’ve been dealing with for three whole eps but the ghosts aren’t at all scary in the daylight and don’t *feel* like as much of a threat as we’re being *told* they are
STILL SO SATISFYING AND FUCKING HILARIOUS https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1187524517863837701
sam “as close to a seasoned witch” winchester doing witchy things with rowena is my jam
rowena “i believe in prophecy” asking Sam to kill her, and Sam struggling against it yet going through with it anyway for the greater good is a perfect microcosm of how Free Will has worked in the SPN universe
how many times have the boys been unwilling or unwitting but the thing comes to pass anyway, maybe roundabout and not in the way they expect because they tried to circumvent but it happens anyway
idk just saying

womp womp shoulda known bel was gonna be another quintessential d*bb era really cool but throw away plot device macguffin character with so much potential (“do you know what he IS?”) yet amounts to nothing and nor has any influence on the rest of story a la asmodeus & gabriel https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1187573869412007936

the “we don’t have a choice” narrative is only as good as far as TFW continues to play WITHIN Chuck’s game, BY Chuck’s rules
time to toss out the script, boys, and turn this chess game into a three dimensional match https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1187569306403512320

hi my name is rachel and i have a lot of thoughts and feelings about free will and how it has been portrayed and fulfilled throughout supernatural

#AtomicMonsters jensen directing jensen in long-take action sequences with the red light filter and bringing benny back even for a moment is
“Local PD doesn’t know how to handle this”
“Of course not, that’s our job. We keep them from dealing with the truth, with what’s out there, aND we carry the weight. They have no clue what’s out there.”
“Of course not, that’s our job. We keep them from dealing with the truth, with what’s out there, aND we carry the weight. They have no clue what’s out there.”
is this a curtain pulls back to reveal the great and powerful oz is but a man (chuck is god is a dick) or laying the foreshadowing groundwork for the world knowing about monsters? 
and the best character development of the series award goes to: https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1192678073935835137
gotta love the S15 Spin on the meta dynamic between Becky and Chuck. Becky’s the one with the healthy relationship to SPN: positive and productive and she’s grown so much as a person all because she made it Hers, Now.
meanwhile chuck doesn’t know what to do with himself or how to continue to feed his ego if his creation is More Than Him or can Exist Beyond/Without Him
and if that don’t spell out the relationship between TPTB and fandom idk what the fuck else will

interesting parallel to S2’s Heart: victim who doesn’t want to be a monster but knows they are one
however Atomic Monsters subverts Heart—while Madison & Billy knew their fates, the boys tried their damnedest to save Madison, they were resigned to the inevitability for Billy https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1192694018649608192

this continues to speak to the “we don’t have a choice” narrative that plagues Sam & Dean’s disillusionment with their perception so far of Free Will
Sometimes I feel confused because the text states that “Now that Chuck’s gone, we’re finally on our own. We’re free” but throughout this and the the preceding three eps still has the characters operating under a “We don’t have a choice” thematic narrative so....which is it? https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1192691308453933056

i’m still thinking the werewolf bros will have some kind of foreshadowing, I’m leaning towards the “same result but different means” subversion,
but it is interesting that of all the Dean-kills-Sam God!vision-vignettes, the Sam-mirror wolf bro kills the Dean-mirror https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1195161483467993088

ooooooh okay got it,
it’s because they thought chuck was gone come to find out through Lilith and the “story” he literally just wrote that he’s not and they’re still stuck in the “We don’t have a choice” cycle
(and yes i am quote replying to my own tweet shaddup
) https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1313996038978535424

so now moving forward is when the narrative should shift to the boys consciously trying to fight against “we don’t have a choice”
which of i recall takes a little while until they deal with their flip flopping nihilism but hey, that’s why i’m rewatching

honest to goodness eileen’s resurrection scene is so tender it makes my heart go uwu 
we love breaking the “we don’t have a choice” for sam’s “we’ve got some moves to play here” is finally seeing the chessboard as three-dimensional 
#OurFatherWhoArentInHeaven I LOVE GLOWY ALMOST HANDHOLDING
uhhhh still don’t get why they spent so much time running around hell trying to find michael in the cage when belphegor said in 15.01 that he wasn’t there anymore unless writers just oopsies forgot 
may just be a smidge disappointed that it feels like they rushed the rowena queen of hell reveal so soon after her “death” bc it didn’t feel like it emotionally ~marinated~ enough, and would’ve been better to bring her back before tfw is really with their backs against the wall?
my issues with the spotty writing (it’s BL so gotta take it with a grain of salt and the wins where we can) BUT I DO LOVE COUPLES COUNSELING WITH AUNTIE QUEEN ROWENA SO, SO VERY MUCH https://twitter.com/keylimedean/status/1205298338989518848

having Sam sneak preview the bleak reality of a Butch & Sundance “going out swinging” ending, leads me to believe the show has grown past that and the ending we will get will subvert that idea

garth really said Sam and Dean have major character energy
major character energy
whoops, broke the thread but i fixed it nothing to see here...
remember that time at the beginning of this thread when i was pointing out the narrative themes threaded throughout the first five-ish episodes?
yeah, me too
yeah, me too
i always feel like the middle run of d*bb’s seasons kind of lose the narrative structural and thematic threads a wee bit
...but they *do* end up self-correcting in the last three episodes, every damn time so thaaat’s some positivity?

i mean i gUEsS d*abb took “we’re not the LoSeChEsTeRs” to the extreme and made a three/four episode arc out of it?
i never said anything bad about this episode i love this episode
