Summary
BEFORE
Loki knows that he isn’t selfish for wanting a place to belong and a life with his friends – all of which he is likely about to lose, embracing his fear of isolation in exchange for their freedom. But maybe he is selfish for this: wanting to tell Mobius how much he's loved before he leaves him.
This is going to make what Loki has to do feel even more impossible.
He won’t let that stop him.
—
AFTER
Mobius has done every bit of what he felt he had to do – what they all had to do, partially in Loki’s honor – and now he’s going to do what he wants. What he, personally, needs.

Summary
Pensacola – 1969
With no actual thoughts involved and no plan to do it, Midge leans forward and kisses her.
Susie jerks back like she’s been shot.
“What the FUCK?” she yells, scrambling off the bed.---
New York City – 1990
For the first time in five years, Midge just spoke to her. Not about her; to her.
It was more than an olive branch. It was the whole fucking tree. And Susie’s holding a piece of paper that proves she gets to talk to her again. -
THE PURPOSE: The Significance of Real-World Censorship by chuckwon (alwaysanoriginal)
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)
01 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
Chuck’s function in the story explicitly exists to be an allegory for the real world; as a result, you cannot divorce Chuck’s in-narrative victory from its out-of-narrative implications. More precisely: you cannot divorce the final season of this story–and particularly its ending–from the fact that it explicitly acts as narrative commentary on the fact that Supernatural is a censored text.
CHAPTERS:
1. The Fight Against The Original Creators' Intentions
2. Queer Love As Essential For Freedom
3. The Finale’s Impact And The Enduring SilenceSeries

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE: Season 15’s Unbroken Loop by chuckwon (alwaysanoriginal)
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)

Summary
The concept of cycles of violence is the backbone of Chuck’s thematic Framework and thus of Supernatural as a story. I also posit that it is purposefully ingrained into the plotlines of season 15. The literal events echo the metaphorical themes, emphasizing the Trap the characters are in and clarifying the state of the story as it currently stands after the finale.
Welcome to what I like to affectionately refer to as “loop theory.”
CHAPTERS:
1. Introduction
2-10. Progression vs. Regression, divided by episode pairings
11. The Unwinnable GameSeries

Summary
When Jack is born, Dean, Cas, and Sam’s placements in the story change. They shift into roles that echo the original Winchester family dynamic on a metanarrative level, and that initially continue the pervasive pattern of Chuck’s Framework in a different way. However, as the story progresses, the characters quickly go on to repeatedly subvert Chuck’s Framework through the powers of true free will, chosen family and–in the case of Dean and Cas–queer love.
CHAPTERS:
1. Introduction
2. Jack Kline, & New Familial Roles
3. Dean As Chuck’s Primary Pressure Point
4. What About All Of This Is Real? (Love)Series

CHUCK WON: An Analysis & Explanation Of Supernatural’s Tragic Finale by chuckwon (alwaysanoriginal)
Fandom: Supernatural (TV 2005)
01 Oct 2022
Summary
This project is a love letter to all who made Supernatural what it is today–its creative team AND its fans.
You do not need any prior knowledge of “Chuck won” as an angle of analysis–or even any prior familiarity with Supernatural meta–
to read this. Knowledge of season 15 is encouraged, but hopefully my descriptions are enough to clue you in or refresh your memory when needed.For a lot of people, chunks of this won't be new to you. That's cool. But I do think there is value in seeing all of the pieces together in one place to create the full picture. Regardless, while the sections and chapters are written to build upon each other in an order, they also stand on their own merit if you want to skim or skip around.
My goal was to make this concept as accessible as possible to anyone who may be interested in it.
Thank you in advance for reading, and I hope you enjoy it :)
