novakspector:

Dean saying Jack is family means a whole lot of nothing, considering just earlier in the same episode he assumed the worst that Jack had killed an innocent person and was thinking out loud yet again they will have to kill Jack. Dean’s sudden change of heart being #TeamJack is only because Jack can get Mary back. Dean considers Jack family only on the basis of what Jack can do for him. It’s the same exact way he treats Castiel. Castiel is family when Dean finds him useful, and he’s cast aside when he becomes an inconvenience.

here is the problem i have with the fandom (and the show) acting like dean is suddenly oh so much better to jack now just because he doesn’t want to murder him in cold blood and oh he said jack’s not really a monster.

jack: [excited, happy voice] the victim had bite marks… like from a zombie!!! 😀

dean: [annoyed voice; annoyed look] or ANYTHING ELSE with teeth.

like, this is exactly why dean’s an abuser in the first place? it’s not just the ‘big’ things like repeatedly threatening jack’s life and saying he’s evil; it’s the little things, too, like dean always being dismissive, negative, criticizing, disapproving and acting like everything you say and do is wrong.

and i guess maybe dean’s behavior is supposed to be blamed on another excuse like “oh dean’s an angry sleeper~” but as cas, who said that line, has also said before: dean’s always a little angry. so i don’t think dean being abruptly woken up really gets to be an adequate excuse when he’s always that way anyway.

speaking of: virtually every time that cas has been excited about something, dean’s shot down his ideas and tried to control him. so it’s also not like this is something new at all either. and ~funnily enough that’s exactly what happened with cas in that scene, too, because cas had to sit there and wait for dean to finish his coffee ‘cause dean is the one who gets to decide when they leave.
