mishas-assbutts:

They just look so happy ;A;

You know what’s sad about this little gif set right here? I bet you Claire watched her mom do this for her dad everyday before he went to work because if that backwards tie was anything to go by, Jimmy was a mess. Amelia probably had to pull him aside every morning after breakfast and fix his tie and she’d probably ask him something to the affect of “what would you ever do without me?” and he’s smile and kiss her on the cheek. 

And Claire would see this little domestic act and think it was super dorky or gross at the time, but I bet she’s grown to miss it over the years. 

“Now you look like a dad,” she says. Now you look like my dad used to, is left unspoken. You look like a dad, but you’re not my dad.  It’s Jimmy’s ghost that hangs over this whole scene and the whole of Cas and Claire’s interactions that kills me. She’s smiling, but I wonder just how that might sting.
