In which I have a bad memory and an even worse imagination

Going through my s13 episode recaps for the s13 wrap-up poll reminded me of so many wonderful things I'd forgotten. I know this season fell short in some ways, but in other ways it was marvelous, and for some reason, many of them slipped my mind. Dean being unable to breathe in "Good Intentions," and reaching out to Sam, and Sam yanking him out of the dungeon and pawing at him in the hallway? Dean patting at Sam's "Disney princess hair," and Sam shaking him off, in "A Most Holy Man?" Sam trying SO HARD to be nice to Dean in "Advanced Thanatology," and the story about him trying to talk a stripper into going to nursing school? These things are gold.

(You know what isn't gold? I forgot to add Dean's death to the questions about character deaths. Even though I mentioned it in a different question. I feel like an idiot."

And I was also reminded to two mytharc-related things. One was actually near the end of the season, in "Unfinished Business," when the Trickster tells Gabriel that he lived for nothing, and he'll die for nothing. Considering that he died buying the Winchesters time to go through the rift, and they just stood there and watched him die instead of going through the rift, I think it's fair to say that prophecy was accurate.

The other is this graffiti we saw in "The Bad Place." (There be spoilers ahead if you somehow don't know how s13 ended.)
