So, I love you for this. As I've told you so many times, but yeah. Applicable. xinfinity.
And I'm totally coherent tonight, not that I'm on painkillers or anything. Nu-uh. But this review is long overdue.
The way you handle Dean here just totally and utterly breaks my heart. I love the idea that the moment he turns his back, for selfish and foolish reasons that he's well aware of (though I was proud of him oddly, for going off and being independent and trying to show that he did make an impact) that the worst thing he's imagined happens. And it's not the demon. In fact, it's not a demon at all, nor anything supernatural; just the fight that's been looming between his father and Sammy for a decade about wanting normalcy and a duty that shuns it.
The Winchesters had their own language, and while Dean was the only one who was fluent in both Dad Dialect and Sam Dialect, both Dad and Sam understood Dean Dialect pretty well. It shows, in a sentence the relationship between the Winchesters. That Dean is their bridge, the one that holds it all together and without him it's all misunderstandings and lost communications. And of course, that's what tears the family apart.
(Dad had told Dean that he would have made one hell of a Marine. Dean had laughed about that so hard that he fell out of his chair. And broke his collar bone. He was really drunk) It's just so wonderful because it shows us so many things, that Jon respects Dean, that Dean is not only obedient but strong and capable. That Dean doesn't really believe he has it in him, that he doesn't believe he's good enough.
He stayed away for exactly sixty-seven hours. He counted the hours and that says it all really.
But even that fear was not as ridiculous as the fear that his family might discover that Dad was right: they didn’t need him at all.
He never admitted it, not even to himself, but that was the thing that drove him back home.
Once again you manage to verbalize everything about Dean and his insecurities and the way he denies what he knows deep down because Dean stands for denial and fighting what you don't want to know.
and apparently this comment was too long, so expect another like now.
