Okay, before I get to the rest – hello, reverse!crypt scene that every Destiel person knew was gonna happen. Down to the person involved stopping their violence against that specific person but still leaving rather than sticking around. Dramatically-speaking, you did not disappoint. Cas talking about how even if Dean resists the Mark for centuries, Cas will still be around to watch him become everything he hates. I just. Cas. How in the end, it’s such a heartbreaking, violent, painful moment in both 8x17 and here.

Now, back to the start:

( the prisoner )

So, here’s another question – who was the prisoner?

Was it Rowena, who sent Sam off to do her bidding?

Was it Dean, who was imprisoned for like a hot minute before he broke free?

Was it Crowley, who was held ever-so-briefly by Sam’s demon trap bullet?

Or maybe it’s Sam.

One of the flashbacks to Charlie we had in the beginning was of her asking Dean if he would ever let go and him saying he wouldn’t. The Winchesters inability to let each other go is at the heart of all of this.

I am mad at Sam for his life choices, but I would be remiss not to note that doing what he’s doing now is what his family has trained him to do – what Dean has trained him to do. Sam tried to let go. Several times. Every time, he was dragged back in. Until he finally gave up and gave in, just like Silas and the knife. If freedom was Sam’s Heaven, family has, in some ways, been his Hell. The place where he has been carved at over and over until he broke and started doing the carving himself.

A cage of the mind can be stronger than any bars. A cage created out of duty and love and desperation can keep even the strongest person quiet and captive inside its walls. And if they’ve been trained not to reach for the door, eventually, the door doesn’t even need to stay locked. They’ll stop trying to get out at all. And the cage will become their entire world.

You’re all I’ve got.

Original Post: Who is the prisoner?

Anonymous asked: maybe i made a simpler reading, but to me the prisoner it was Dean fully falling under the control of the MoC, he's not in control of his actions or else he would have never beaten up Cas like that.

Butterfly replies: Oh, I agree that the MoC is definitely a huge factor! Normal Dean also wouldn’t kill ‘poisoned fruit of the poisoned tree’ the way that Dean did here – Dean didn’t kill Amy’s son back in S7 for just this reason.

I actually, um, I talked about this a little while ago but I’m not sure I’ve moved the link to my meta page yet – I talked about how Dean has both been more emotionally healthy than he has in a while (until the crushing blow of 10x21 made his heart crumple) and yet also constantly fighting that losing battle against the Mark. Both of those things have been true all this season – we’ve been watching this war inside Dean happening.

I’ve enjoyed it, for the most part (with a 10x21 exception, basically), because there’s a delicacy and subtlety to it that has spoken to me. I’ve really liked the vast majority of this season and a large part of that has been because of this tee-totter that we’ve seen Dean on. And, at the end of 10x21, Dean was knocked off. Because so much of what was giving him strength in his fight against the call of the MoC were the “people who love me”, who he credited for pulling him back from the edge. But then he found out that (from his perspective) they didn’t actually believe in him at all, that they went behind his back, and that doing this got one of them killed. They didn’t think he could win this fight, but it was that faith from them that he believed he’d had that was giving him the strength to wage it at all.
