okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

This song deserved a real release, and yet here I am, illegally surviving off a SoundCloud link like it’s 2013. We need justice ASAP.

okay but tell me they didn’t have that convo when john came back in s14. like… please. john and mary get this one rare moment together, and you know they had to talk about the boys at some point—and you know they were looking at sam and dean like “uhhh… is this normal???” bc let’s be real, their dynamic has always been intense, but by season 14? it’s like… on another level.

you’re telling me they saw these two grown-ass men—late 30s, still attached at the hip, communicating in that silent eye-language, backing each other up like no one else exists—and didn’t go “wtf is this???” like. come on. i fully believe there was at least one moment where mary looked at john and was like “they remind me of us,” and not in a sweet nostalgic way, but in a kinda “oh shit this is lowkey unhinged” way. like, they recognized that closeness, that ride or die, all-consuming energy and maybe had to stop for a second like… wait. this is kinda weird.

did they name it? idk. maybe not. maybe they didn’t want to. maybe they just sat with that uncomfortable realization and then looked away from it. like “we’re just gonna… not unpack that today.” but they definitely noticed. there’s no way they didn’t clock the vibe and go “huh.”

something i will never forgive supernatural for is depriving us of the juicy, unhinged aftermath of 4x14 and 4x17. like. hello??? we deserved mess. we deserved emotional chaos. we deserved at least one brother spiraling.

starting with 4x14 — you’re telling me sam found out he was the siren’s target. he was dean’s deepest desire. and then… nothing?? crickets?? not even a blink from either of them. like did sam just go “lol classic dean 🙄” and move on??? or was he lying awake that night like “wait a second… so i’m my brother’s dream guy. that’s… fine. that’s normal. that’s not alarming at all.” did he spiral internally?? was there an existential crisis?? because there should have been one!! i needed sam to be at least a little disturbed, or confused, or flattered in a deeply cursed way. i needed that drama. i needed one of them to say “okay maybe we should talk about this in therapy (that we obviously don’t go to).”

and THEN there’s 4x17. workplace romance AU?? are you KIDDING me?? dean literally thought sam was flirting with him in that beige-ass office breakroom. and sam was just casually ready to drop everything and run away with dean to hunt monsters after knowing him for like five minutes. and again — no one talks about it. dean didn’t sit in that Impala afterward like “hm. weird how we always end up choosing each other in every timeline. weird how i thought my brother was hitting on me. weird how okay i was with it.” he had to have had at least one internal meltdown?!

and the show just said “anyway here’s the next case” like we didn’t just witness emotional incest in HD. we were robbed. absolutely robbed. justice for the post-episode breakdowns we never got.

i love the fact that in the later seasons sam gets so comfortable with how much dean loves him that he just starts shamelessly playing the little brother card every chance he gets. like somewhere along the line he went, “wait. i’m dean’s weakness.” and instead of being conflicted about it like he used to be, he’s just like, “bet. time to weaponize this.”

it’s genuinely so funny—he knows exactly what he’s doing. he hits dean with the soft voice, the “you’re my big brother” line, the puppy dog look, maybe throws in a sad smile or a single tear, and boom. it’s over. dean’s folding faster than a lawn chair. this man could be ready to take on god himself, but sam hits him with the look™ and suddenly he’s like, “okay fine we’ll do it your way.”

and the best part? dean knows he’s being manipulated. you can see it on his face. he’s like, “you little shit,” but he still goes along with it because it’s sam. and he can’t say no to sam. he never could.

it’s such a hilarious, lowkey kind of power sam holds, and he uses it so effortlessly. he’s no longer trying to pull away from dean’s protectiveness—he’s leaned into it, owns it, and uses it like a pro. he’s got dean wrapped around his finger and they both know it. absolutely unhinged sibling behavior. 10/10.
