07x04 - Defending Your Life

Pinned Post i just wow so this is the Osiris episode where Jo’s ghost is almost forced to kill Dean and this moment is just this WHOLE EPISODE is about how the two brothers deal with guilt Sam moves on. he’s all about doing what he can to fix the present and future Dean clings to the past Carries it like a cross he blames himself for Jo’s death for every death and in this moment she is trying so hard to comfort him to tell him it’s alright it’s not his fault and he WANTS TO BELIEVE HE WANTS TO GIVE IN AND ACCEPT but he can’t he flinches when she touches him bc he’s still expecting her to hurt him like he hurt her Dean Winchester begs and begs for kindness but refuses it all the same kin moment tbh

the original 2015 graphic novel is more insane than the movie cuz like

exhibit A: nimona expresses liking pizza and ballister at first refuses her asking to order in because the delivery to his mindfuck nowhere lair is expensive . later, when an accident happens and nimona gets upset, he remembers that she liked pizza and offers to order in . if that isnt dad behavior idk what that is (im fatherless)

exhibit B :

they went to a science expo slash carnival . they went undercover . a stand seller mistakes them for a father & son and they just... went with it . he carries nimona around . what the fuck man

exhibit C :

ballister freaks the FUCK out when she gets injured way more than he did in the movie and then proceeds to play board games with her to cheer her up

oops hit tumblr picture limit i will continue my dad ballister propaganda in the reblogs

exhibit D :

nimona gets upset & ballister tries to reassure her . he tries to give her a hug but my poor meow meow babygirl nimona (full of trauma) just . pushes him away . im chewing on drywall .

exhibit E :

the craziest of them all . near the end at the final battle when nimona turns into the big ass dark dragon-axolotl monster, in the graphic novel she actually splits into two, the part of her thats gone off the edge (the monster) and the part of her thats the scared little girl she once was . the backstory in the novel is also a lot different than in the movie :
