My (overly thorough) analysis of the hugs from Alpha and Omega…

Posted on by nothingidputbeforeyou

When Cas initiates the hug with Dean, Dean at first seems surprised and amused by it. Note the back pat, the smile, and the way he says “All right.” 

Then Dean suddenly gets serious and I think it’s because it occurs to him that he has to ask Castiel to take care of Sam and not to let him do anything stupid (like following Dean into death). It’s a moment where he’s faced with his own mortality and the fact that he’s no longer going to be there to take care of his first priority: Sam.

When it comes time to actually say goodbye to Sam, they can barely look at each other. Sam’s eyes are full of tears and he’s close to losing it. 

Dean grabs him and pulls him into a hug and his face is SO FULL of this fierce devotion and sadness.

Then comes the patented Dean Winchester “This hug is not intense enough- INCREASE HUG INTENSITY BY 300%” move.

[also seen in Lazarus Rising if you need another example]

And finally his expression somehow gets even SADDER (how is that possible??) and we can see the tears in his eyes as well. Poor Sam is just clinging on to his brother, burying his head in his shoulder, still trying not to completely break down.

They both seem heartbroken about having to be saying goodbye AGAIN and they’re trying so hard to communicate that without having to actually say it. 

To sum up, bless this scene. It contains 100% of my daily nutritional requirement of beautiful, soul-scarring angst.

brosinlove:

as your local wincest trash it is my duty to talk in depth about the brother hug and basically that whole scene. so let’S FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT

  • first of all the fact that dean leaves his most prized possession with sam once again is a reminder that sam is his absolute number one (but honestly who ever doubted that) 
  • “no chick flick moments” okay this just destroys me. comparing it to the first time that dean said this in the pilot, when it was just said so casually as a manly joke thing, to now when they’re saying goodbye to each other and they’re trying so hard to keep it together so they just have to laugh it off to stay strong fuck me up
  • also, they both have tears in their eyes and they can barely bring themselves to look at each other because they fucking know it will hurt too much to see each other like that
  • ^^ seriously i mean if they let themselves look at each other properly they will just break down and back out of the whole thing and they’re trying so hard to be strong because they know how important it is 
  • the way dean says “come here” i juST
  • and sam just puts his face in dean’s neck/shoulder which i think is so more intimate and makes him so small honestly i’m wrecked
  • aND a small observation of my own which is probably just me over analysing everything about them but i’m like 80% sure that sam said something into dean’s shoulder?? i didn’t hear anything on the audio but looking at gifs now i can see his mouth moving and just idk but i’m headcanoning that he told him he loved him
  • then they’ve jusT GOTTA PLAY IT COOL WHEN THEY ARE SO NOT COOL 
  • i’m brothers trash good day
