DEAN IS SO SMART AND QUICK-WITTED PLEASE NEVER SUGGEST OTHERWISE thank you and have a nice day

#dean is like bursting at the seams with all different kinds of intelligence tbh #like he’s a mechanic and an engineer and a researcher and like a million other things #he has to impersonate fbi agents and forest rangers and police officers ALL JOBS W SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE #he has be able to bluff his way into and out of situations #he has a master knowledge of weapons and how to wield them safely #he has to be charming and be able to convince people to tell him information (interrogation skills) #he hacks computers and hotwires cars like??? #he has a HUGE breadth of pop culture knowledge #and it annoys tf out of me when people act like that’s somehow different than being able to quote old ass books #um also he’s a fucking hunter of supernatural beings who has survived in the biz since he was a child #and we all know hunters have short lifespans so…. obviously he’s doing something right #he needs to be able to think on his feet and be able to buy time when they’re in a pickle #he’s a great cook #he’s a caretaker #he’s empathetic #he’s quick af with a comeback which is fuCKING HARD OK #like there are a million instances of dean showing how smart he is in all kinds of different ways #and the idea that casual viewers still see him as ‘the brawn’ IS SO HORRIBLE AND MAKES ME SO MAD #(also how does that even translate irl bc there really is more to being smart than book learning #there is an infinite number of ways to be smart) (via atomicwranglers)
