Son and angelic sperm donor bonding time

claire and jack are total opposites of each other. claire tries to play broody tough girl and acts mean as a defense for how genuinely sensitive and damaged she is, because she thinks that makes her weak and she actively doesn’t want to be weak or be seen as weak because she doesn’t want to get hurt again.

jack has their own broody mean streak, but is so outwardly saccharine and polite and overly forgiving it’s like they practice it in the mirror with an etiquette 101 book. he can be quick to anger like claire, but he’s way quicker to calm himself down. claire doesn’t understand why an all-powerful demigod would choose to be weak, to just not use their power and retaliate against people that treat them shittily. she wishes she could be as strong and invulnerable as he is, and she thinks he’s wasting it on nothing.

jack, on the other hand, is a little jealous of claire’s boisterousness. he wishes he could be more openly angry and defiant the way she is, without it automatically being taken as a sign of Lucifer’s genetic influence or imbuing him with nuclear charged teenage hormones that turn him into an active threat. jack doesn’t understand why Claire can’t just relax; take advantage of the fact that her emotional state isn’t cosmically charged and she can freely let go of herself. he longs for the passivity of being a gentle human, and he doesn’t get at all why claire wouldn’t want to be gentle every moment of her life while she’s able to.

claire thinks his strength is an advantage, and doesn’t understand why he doesn’t want it or doesn’t use it. Jack knows it’s a burden and doesn’t understand why claire would ever want it.

you're laughing??? they ate his tailor and you're laughing???

it’s so easy to read gadreel’s behavior in early season 9 as inherently suspicious or nefarious especially when watching for the first time especially ESPECIALLY when it turns out he was lying about his identity but it really does make me go off the wall insane that gadreel escaped from heaven’s torture prison where they’d kept him since the GARDEN and his first action on earth is to go find the winchesters and seek sanctuary with them. i know he’s not, like, selflessly attempting to save sam out of the kindness of his heart, but he is trying to ingratiate himself with the only two humans he knows who might be willing to take in an angel with a bad reputation who wants to find redemption on account of, you know, that’s exactly what they did to castiel. i don’t think he showed up to that hospital with the intent to trick or deceive. dean prayed and said somebody come help my brother and gadreel really truly tried. and when it does come time to offer to trick sam, gadreel fully defers to dean’s judgement. gadreel says god may never forgive me but if dean winchester likes me then maybe that can be good enough

I still want to know the genuine answer :( I feel like he did service Oberon, king of the fairies :(

dean. did you service oberon. king of the fairies. ?

i love it when actors have jobs <3

OH MY GOODNESS THAT POOR LITTLE BABY BETTER NOT DIE I WILL CRY, TINY ONES ARE MY WEAKNESS

I don't know if this is an unpopular or rare perspective on Jack, and I'm a huge over-analyzer, but I think that he purposefully makes himself more naive as a way of making himself likeable/less intimidating.

Like at first he's genuinely new to everything and doesn't understand what's going on, but I think he starts "masking" fairly early as he notices people react well to certain things and react poorly to others.

An example that stands out to me is his expression and the way he holds himself.

At the start, he has a "scary" expression reminiscent of the Kubrick stare. His head is tilted down, chin in, and eyes furrowed. It seems to be his default state, as he reverts to it when he's overwhelmed or just focused strongly on something else, like when he uses his powers.

However, at the police station he ends up getting his first positive feedback (lack of fear/nervous response) from his body language

Being down on the ground, he looks up at the officer and ends up with his head tilted up and his eyes unfurrowed. With his mouth full his expression also changes compared to how slack his face was before.

Then when he wakes up in the cell with Sam, he's back to his normal expression and angry about Sam tazing him, and Sam apologizes and explains why.

What's interesting to me is what Jack does next -

He sits crosslegged like he did earlier, despite being on a bench, and apologizes back. Because he just learned from Sam that if you hurt someone and regret it and want them to forgive you, you apologize and explain why it happened.

And he gets into the last pose that worked for him - legs crossed and tilting his head up, because it makes him look less threatening. And it works, it relieves some of Sam's obvious fear.
