I really wish things could be different, you know? I really wish you could just be Joe College.

SPN episode gifset: Swan Song (5x22)
-> requested by ilovethemoose
(n.b. this is a big set - 160 frames per gif - and Tumblr tends to screw up the timing of the animation on large sets from time to time. The animation IS properly synched so if it’s out of sequence, trust me, it will settle and play correctly eventually.)

listen, i may not be able to carry the burden that comes along with these trials, but i can carry you
Remember what Sam told Amy about his father? “You don’t want to see him when he’s drinking.”
One sentence tells a lot.
I will be the first to say John Winchester is not the root of all evil. Impossible situations and all that jazz. However.
What kind of father puts the look that Dean has in the last gif on their child’s face? It’s like Dean’s trying to keep it together while remembering a beating that should have had him laid up in a hospital. Verbal, physical, whatever. There’s a horror in there that haunts him worse than Hell and John Winchester is the cause.

This is how Dean would have been when Sam was a toddler learning to walk.
Awwwwww
im going to shoot you
