Dean gets back and is like ‘ohshit Sammy are you on the blood again’
Sam like ‘no, no, I actually just spoke to them, uh, really sternly and it seemed to work. i think maybe the beard…’ *gestures vaguely at chin*
Dean *suspicious* *keeps trying to uncurse Sam’s beard*
Okay but Michael is so full of shit tho
He literally could’ve gone straight to Sam and asked him what he wanted and Sam could honestly and unequivocally say he just wanted his brother back
and Michael would’ve been hard-pressed to find anyone with purer motivations
in short, Michael’s behavior is the exemplification of the religious moral high ground where one pretends to look for answers while already firmly convinced they know the absolute truth
in this essay I will
I mean.
I just want to put this out there:
By accepting Sam’s declaration that there would be no new King of Hell and by not challenging it, the demons acknowledged his authority. Sam may not be the king of Hell in name, but the hand-selected followers of the most recent contender to the throne literally would not dare to face him and fight for it.
Sam is, unofficially, the Actual Ruler of Hell.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
If it meant saving Dean, I’d work with anyone. I’d do anything.
