So Gabriel, an archangel, who was tortured by a prince of hell became catatonic afterwards. But Sam, a human, was tortured for years by the actual devil came out the other side trying to reassure everyone around him that he wa fine???

No,

He got helped by Castiel, who then got helped again

It’s how a team works

Supporting each other not blaming each other

Wait, how did Cas help Sam when Sam came back from hell? Cas broke his wall. That’s the opposite of helping.

Fixing that sacrificing himself taking Sam’s pain in exchanging place

Cas “sacrificed” himself because he was the one who broke Sam in the first place. In addition, when Cas (an angel) took over Sam’s pain he was immediately incapacitated, while Sam was still talking (albeit very confusingly) and at least semi-aware of what was happening around him

I love how in the preview for next episode they’re all like, “We let Lucifer out of the Cage,” and yeah okay but consider this: Sam willingly submitted himself to Lucifer’s violence and braced himself for death because he was so determined to say “no” to the bitter end, so uh. There’s that.

Sam getting to go! off! on Dean about this whole self-sacrificing over-protective “you gotta stay on the bench” bullshit made this whole episode worth it

Sam is a grown ass man more than capable of making his own decisions and standing up for himself and I am so glad at least one of the writers on this show is capable of remembering that

bluephoenix73:

Is Gabriel so focused on his own revenge that he can’t remember Sam’s torture? Seven years is barely a heartbeat compared to the time Sam–a human–spent in the cage, tortured by Lucifer himself. Wonder how that stacks up to an archangel tortured by the weakest minion of hell, even juiced up on archangel grace.

And yet, Sam is understanding. He knows why Gabriel wants them all dead.

Sam remembers. He knows.

~~And that is why he is the sweetest cinnamon roll ever kthanxbye~~
