Why is everyone calling Dean’s “Hey,” to that random lady in the street a “no homo?” Because Dean’s looking for Cas. He wasn’t like, “Hey baby, lookin good tonight!” Because if she hadn’t shut him down, if Dean wasn’t obviously NOT AN ASSHOLE TO WOMEN, and NOT THE KIND OF GUY THAT WOULD HOUND HER WHEN SHE’S OBVIOUSLY PUT OFF ABOUT BEING BOTHERED BY A RANDOM DUDE IN A “BAD PART OF TOWN” LATE AT NIGHT AND ALONE.
*deep breaths mittens use your words*
If Dean wasn’t a decent human being, you can bet the next words out of his mouth would’ve been “Hey, I’m looking for a friend of mine. Have you seen him? Might be acting a little weird? Blue eyes, brown hair, trench coat?”
#spn 11.03#spn s11 spoilers#yes i know it’s bucklemming and this is what they’re famous for#but dammit that scene actually put dean in a good light and i refuse to force it into an ugly place just because bucklemming#man and woman meet in dark alley at night#man legit needs help and approaches woman to ask for it#she shuts him down aggressively before even finding out what he wants BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT WOMEN ARE TRAINED TO DO IN THAT SITUATION#DEAN RESPECTED HER PERSONAL SPACE#he didn’t try to follow her#or call out to her or beg for her help#because no matter how true it was that he needed help SHE WOULD SEE THAT AS A PLOY#because that’s how I WOULD see that#wank probably#WHEN THE FUCK HAS DEAN WINCHESTER EVER STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN URGENT HUNT ESPECIALLY FOR CAS#TO HIT ON RANDOM WOMEN FOR NO APPARENT PURPOSE? HINT: NEVER
You know, I think I figured it out. Everyone I’ve seen calling Dean out as skeevy for that? IS A WOMAN. We saw what we expected to see as women, because we’re trained to see men in that situation as a threat. So yeah. Y’all are forgiven for this one, just try to see it from the other side. From Dean’s side, looking for Cas, and trying to ask for help and still refusing to frighten an innocent bystander by pressing her for info in a situation he can understand she feels uncomfortable in.
THERE we go. Yes.
And there’s something about the sound track that doesn’t match up with the visuals, too, but I can’t quite pin it down.
But yeah, Dean taking time to flirt when we’ve seen him so worried about Cas doesn’t make sense.
So what was the point of this scene? Why have it in there at all? Seemed rather unnecessary, that’s all.
