I’ve talked about the incongruity between what Dean says and the subtext of this scene before, but let’s rehash: Dean Winchester lives a dangerous life, this is not the first time he’s had a gun pointed at him. He knows full well that it is a rifle, and very obviously he does not wish to have a rifle pointed at his back.
So what he’s actually saying is that dear god, for once in his miserable life, why can’t it be a dick pressed up against his back. He’d love if his life was the kind of life where it would be a dick and not a gun. Especially the dick of the guy he seems to have decided was pretty hot just a moment ago.
Okay, then lets talk about the next scene between them in which they are totally flirting…
Ash fucking winks at Dean, and Dean does that devour thing.
He also does the cheek thing very briefly.
Also, this is immediately following their father’s death and while Sam’s mourning seems to have brought him closer to his estranged father, Dean’s mourning seems to come out as (belated) rebellion against his upbringing. I think the compliment on the hair-cut was entirely genuine: Dean admires rock musicians, but he’s had to sport the buzz-cut all his life because his father raised him to be a good little soldier. But a Skynyrd roadie? That shit is hot to him. Attraction to someone like Ash is the last thing he thinks John Winchester would have allowed him, so that’s exactly what he goes for in his rebellious mourning.
I could not spot the shielding thing, but there was some interesting things going on when Ash came back on screen. For one thing Ash ditched his undershirt, and came strutting topless in when the boys were back at the Roadhouse.
Then he had a weird stand off with Dean…About touching his laptop.
Wow, I totally see why there was a Dean x Ash ship going on back then. What´s up Dean indeed… Those two have something going on. I´ll post the kiss by proxy tomorrow.
Dean has his hand on his lap under the bar table right after we’re shown Ash reading John Winchester’s notes, and he keeps it there until Ash leaves the room, so he had his arm between Ash’s eyes and his junk in a pretty obvious fashion.
And yeah, Ash coming out with his chest bared and thrusting his pelvis forward? That is ridiculously sexy, and entirely for Dean’s benefit, cause he’s like “been waiting for you, man”.
And oh Jesus, Dean’s fingers hovering on top of his keyboard. Both the transcript and the closed caption give his line as “What’s up, man?” but it’s not that exactly. Could “Yea, what’s up, man?“ or “Tell me what’s up, man?“ However, the way Ash is positioned, they are making the connection between his junk and his ‘junk’, like if Dean were to touch his computer for Ash it would be the same as fondling his goods, and he’s giving Dean a look that says “At least buy me a drink first”.
And then he drinks from Dean’s bottle.
Yes! Let´s talk a little bit about that. Because Ash sure is thirsty. But first Dean wants Ash to call him as soon as possible.
Look at that sneaky bastard.
Just so pleased with himself.
Oh well, would you look at that, he is drinking beer with a cupids bow and arrow. Fuck me sideways…
Kissing each other by proxy.
Uhh… what do you know about the movie `Pink Flamingos`?
Wow, I had totally missed the detail about the bottle! I was always convinced the subtext was intentional because there was no way the contrast between his scenes with Ash and Jo could be accidental, but the fact that Wanek along with Shiban and Edlund, in two separate episodes, conspired to make this happen suggests that it was planned exactly this way.
I think we have a shot of him looking at a woman with the exact same face he makes in gif 2, but I can’t remember the episode.
I’ve never seen Pink Flamingoes, but well spotted!
I have not seen the movie as well, but apparently the line ‘I´m on it like Divine on dog dookie’ is from this movie.
Sam obviously doesn´t get it, but t Ash seems to know who does in the company. He glances over to Dean, he mainly said it to Dean…
I am guessing this genius said it to gauge if Dean is… interested.
Pink Flamingos is classic niche queer cinema from John Waters (1972) who is probably best known to mainstream audiences as the creator of Hairspray. It is best described as having a “trash, kitsch queer aesthetic”. It is a deliberately in-your-face shocking romp through absurdity and “bad taste” – a big in-your-face f-you to conventional life and morals. Drag queen Divine eats dog poo in it, which is what the line above refers to. I would say, it’s worth seeing if you’re interested in the history of queer cinema, but it is dated and doesn’t “work” in the same way today as it did back in the 1970s. Mentioning it, as Ash does here, and having someone know what you are talking about – in the kind of blue collar macho hunter culture of the Roadhouse – is sure-fire code for “Are you familiar with queer culture and hence with a lil’ queerness, darlin’?“
