sarasarai:superwholock-is-the-new-sexy:5x02 → 8x02You know, sometimes I get asked what made me come around on the plausibility of the pairing, and I have to do the whole spiel about how I really just don’t think it’s present before season 8 though I certainly get why people would read it that way—and I’m never really sure if I’m being clear or if I just sound like a stubborn non-shipper.The above though? Is totally what I mean. In 5x02, we have a camera that’s completely still, after the inital focus in matching Cas’ step closer to Dean. All of the intensity is dependent on Misha, and Misha delivers. We have Cas getting right into Dean’s face, and a slow, steady build to that “for you”. There’s no hesitation in it it, just anger and pain. He’s attacking. He wants his suffering to be absolutely and utterly clear, and he wants that “for you” to cut. The camera then (in scene) barely flickers to Dean before going right back to Cas, as he builds to the reveal that all of it was, for now, for nothing—and that hurts. Dean swallows, and doesn’t say a word—but also keeps completely still. He can’t back down, but you can see in his eyes that he gets it, even if he doesn’t get the implication of just how worth it Dean was to Cas, and just how let down Cas feels. How badly Cas needs his Father right now because of that.In 8x02, however, the camera is in constant movement surrounding them—emphasizing not physical aggression, but the actual words they’re speaking as they in the foreground remain completely still. It lightly suggests the shift in the world as that conversation builds, the way Benny slips to the edges of their consciousness. Because Dean might be getting riled up, but Cas is not attacking. He isn’t guilting. He’s confessing—he doesn’t even want to admit the heart of it, he pauses and looks away before that final line of “To keep them away from you”.And we do really get that reaction. We even get Benny’s reaction nipping in, highlighting it as he looks between them. Dean reacts to it by leaning back slightly. By blinking, by his entire face relaxing, and his words softening immediately afterward. As if something’s fallen into place, for him, even if he can’t name what that is..They are, as the gifset indicates, very much conversations with essentially the same driving energy. But they are being driven completely different directions, by every department—THAT is why I see it now. -- source link
