personality:

gonna bullet point to keep it succinct;

- codependency: Dean’s brother is the most important person to him, and he will do anything for his brother - literally anything. He will go to hell for him, protect him, kill for him, whatever it takes. The boys are extremely close - it’s been noted they know each other better than they know themselves. Their relationship has been a recurring, underlying theme since Season 1 - these two have immense ‘brotherly love’ when in actuality it's an unhealthy, enabling, co-dependent relationship. Dean needs Sam - more than Sam needs him.

- low self esteem/self worth: He doesn’t value his life and puts himself at risk of injury and death with no hesitation. When confronted, he plays it off as a joke, or becomes somber and says “I’m tired, man.” Every negative thing that has happened to him since he was four culminates in unhealthy coping mechanisms (booze, sex, occasional drug use). Dean blames himself for every bad thing that happens to and around him. In some way, shape, or form - everything is his fault, and as a whole, he thinks he's just a grunt and not worth saving.

- Emotionally Repressed: Dean has spent the vast majority of his life raising Sam; he's repressed his own emotions in order to remain a functional parent figure. He doesn’t like talking about his feelings/trauma, referring to vulnerability as ‘chick-flick’ moments and tends to brush off concerns as ‘no big deal’. Even back in s5 when he returns from Hell, Dean lies about it, says that he doesn’t remember anything despite his brother's continued concern, and this behavior continues throughout the series. The majority of Dean’s life has been spent hunting; learning to kill supernatural creatures, and of ugly, toxic masculinity defining his life-views from an early age. The Winchester men are manly men, they shoot things and kill monsters and don’t have all those weepy womanly feelings. Dean generally hides many things he likes, because it’s ‘girly’ to enjoy soap operas, etc.

-Temper: He has a temper on him (much worse when he has the Mark, huge loose cannon), which correlates directly with his tendency to bottle things up and hide his emotions. He can only hold emotions and feelings up for so long until it explodes out of him, and when that happens he can be vicious and cruel with his words, saying things he doesn’t always mean (or worse, things he does). It manifests physically sometimes as well; when Dean loses his temper the closest thing to him tends to get it, be it the Impala, a demon, Castiel, or even Sam.


+ Smarts: Dean is incredibly intelligent - his brother is often viewed as the 'smart one' and Dean as the muscle, but Dean is actually ingenious himself. He made his own EMF out of a beat up walkman, it was Dean’s idea to pack the shotgun shells with rock salt, and he has an impressive amount of knowledge in his skull - and not just from his love of pop culture. Dean worked with his father for quite some time before he and Sam partnered up, and he is perfectly capable of doing research and reading a book on his own. He has just as much of a freak encyclopedia in his head as his brother.

+ Loyalty: Dean is devastatingly loyal to those he loves - friends and family alike - and he tends to care far too much. He wants to save the world, save everyone, but he realizes that’s an impossible task and even so, he carries the guilt of those he couldn’t save with him throughout his life. He will absolutely go to bat for the people who have earned his respect and loyalty in turn.

+ Kindness: For all of Dean’s obvious mental issues; PTSD, trauma, self-hatred, low self-worth/self-esteem, and tough-guy attitude, Dean is exceptionally kind, and far more emotional than he lets on. He’s good with kids and can relate to them, especially if they’ve been through something traumatic. Dean can be a vulnerable person at times, delicate and surprisingly easy to hurt. He is self sacrificing, willing to die for not only his family, but for the innocents at risk from monsters and spirits. He isn't without fault, but his heart is in the right place.
