@miletta228: #DESTIEL When Dean returns from Hell in “Lazarus Rising,” he discovers a large burn-like handprint on his left shoulder. It is the physical mark left by Castiel when he pulled Dean out of Hell. The handprint later became an important visual symbol associated with Dean and Castiel, especially within the fandom. What makes the symbolism particularly notable is that the series eventually brings the image back in the final season. In 15x18, “Despair,” Castiel pushes Dean out of the way while confronting the Empty and leaves a bloody handprint on Dean’s shoulder in approximately the same location as the original mark. The parallel deliberately connects their first meeting to Castiel’s final goodbye to Dean. Jensen Ackles also discussed the final handprint scene as something that was improvised during filming #deanwinchester #supernatural #castiel #samwinchester
