You know, the tie wasn’t backwards in all of S4. In fact it was messed up after Dean and Cass’ misadventures at that brothel. So the backwards tie seems to be Cass’ thing than Jimmy’s. :)

This is a nitpick but I’ll let it stand. 

Fine. Cas’s tie wasn’t backwards until season 5. Jimmy was still wearing his tie really wrong in Lazarus Rising, so it’s easy to get confused. It’s not backwards, just horrible. 

(x) Ties aren’t supposed to go past your belt, Jimmy. 

Regardless, that wasn’t even the point of my comments about Jimmy being a mess. I’m assuming, anon, you were referring to my comments about Claire fixing Cas’s tie and not my dcj flailings about how they’re both shit dressers? B/c if this was about the Cas and Claire post the point is that when Claire was preforming a domestic action for Cas it was meant to invoke the third person who wasn’t really there. The point is less about the tie and more about the fact that when Claire says “now you look like a dad,” she’s probably thinking of her dad who Cas obviously looks like but will never be. The point is that it dressing him up like her father, the way her mother probably did when she actually had a normal family, Claire invokes Jimmy’s ghost and all the baggage that goes with it. The tie really doesn’t matter that much.

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.
