Tonight’s Dean & Amara scene didn’t come across as romantic or sexual to me at all? Neither did their scene in 11×01? In both scenes, Dean seemed scared to me, not turned-on or interested. He’s disturbed by his inability to hurt her, even though she’s so dangerous. It reminded me more of his scenes with that man of letters guy – the one that wanted to collect him and was trying to trigger him with the first blade. Dean was terrified and didn’t have the power to fight back, while both Amara and… I think it was Magnus?… were both fascinated by Dean for reasons beyond his control.
It’s a parallel and a contrast to Cas, who likes Dean for what I would call the ‘right’ reasons – Cas likes Dean for who he is, and not what he represents. Dean also does represent things to Cas, but his like for Dean as a person is first and foremost (though this has not always been the case, I’d say).
There’s tension in the scenes between Dean and Amara, but not all tension is sexual or romantic.
Every time I see their interactions I see him “frozen”. Like a deer caught in headlights. He doesn’t have that romantic sexual look to him. I don’t know. Maybe people are seeing things we’re not seeing but I do NOT get romantic/sexual vibes from it at all. More like fear like you said. And now knowing what we know about her, and how God played the roles in their lives, I’m even more intrigued
My thought was a rabbit mesmerized by a snake, but yeah. Tharn, pretty much.
I think we’re supposed to get that creeped out feeling when we see them together, and YES, it’s exactly like the thing with Magnus in Blade Runners.
Or like the vampire that turned him in the alley in Live Free or Twihard, once Dean realizes he can’t fight his way out of it. I mean, that was the ultimate in creeper vibes. Also, the song they used tonight is so, so not romantic. I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to be afraid of Amara too.
I also thought there was something in her and Cas both using “tell me” at the same time. I guess I just feel like Amara is a Cas mirror in this particular scene, given where the conversation goes immediately after that, and she/Cas lets Dean/Metatron go, when it might have been in her/Cas’ best interests to not.
