her-roses-never-fall:

I’m not gonna lie, I would almost rather that Dean died. That he just straight up made the sacrifice play and blew Amara and himself up.

Then maybe when the dust settled, it turned out that the soul bomb didn’t blow Dean and Amara up, but instead, caused the two of them to fuse along with the all the souls and what we have now is God!Dean to replace the dying Chuck with the Darkness dwelling within him. Dean brings balance to The Force type of thing. Perhaps not something exactly like that, but something along those lines.

Otherwise the point of the arc for him? What was the point of the soul bomb? Everything was tied up so nicely and neatly. Nothing was gained and nothing was lost and all of that build up and foreshadowing was for absolutely nothing and Dean did nothing on top of it.
