the best part for me, in that scene between Dean and Mary, was Dean asking Mary, begging Mary to ‘see him’. to turn around and SEE Dean. the way he repeated it was heartbreaking. that need for someone, for one of his parents  to please, look him and see not the hunter, not the bigbrother/substitute parent, not the little child Mary misses and remembers, not the role he has in the family, in the universe– just look at him and see, simply, Dean.

#THIS THIS THIS IT WAS MY FAVORITE PART#spn spoilers#dean pleading for mary to look at him and see him felt as appropriate as it was heartbreaking#and it reminded me of the “look at me” moment in 9×19 as wildly different as the context was#his character has always tried to break free from the confines of the narrative and make you SEE HIM#and it’s something i have a lot of thoughts on#he’s also the one who has multiple scenes of staring into the camera and silently unnervingly urging you to look past the stories#past the lies he tells himself and others to survive#past the roles he plays so well he becomes them#past the performance past the plot past everything#this may not have been what they meant by “most meta” finale but that was what resonated with me the most (via @powerbottomdean)
