When Eileen or whoever Sam's blurry wife is in a throw away line in a fic is pregnant to show that Sam's happy and doing good it kinda revolts me not gonna lie. We're really putting 2.5 kids on whatever woman shaped object is in Sam's love life? And on Sam for that matter? Who, by the end of the show, expressed zero interest in having a little baby and said he felt fulfilled by hunting, despite its downsides.

One of the reasons Sam and Eileen work well together is that they're both hunters and feel able to lean on each other in that regard, and yet pregnancy or motherhood is often the only thing we hear about Eileen in these cases. She's made into an incubator. Is the only vision of happiness she's allowed becoming Mary from the first minute of the Pilot?

#eileen leahy #saileen #in AUs as well this trend keeps appearing #In AU settings it'd be closer to how their partnership actually works to show that they're both successful in the same career field.#I knowww it's bc people aren't thinking very hard about it and are going 'sam with a little baby 😊'#and i still read majority destiel fics who don't care about sam further than they could throw him #i would HOPE in sam centered fics things are better for his female love interests #like I don't think Eileen is the most compelling character in the world and not every fic can or should dive into her motivations and such #but some thought? some minor spare thought? please?#and not just for eileen. this happened to jess a lot too when she was most the popular sam au love interest choice.#but we didn't know jess in the way we know eileen. she IS the barefoot and pregnant blonde girl fantasy bc she doesn't exist as a character.#so it feels a little less egregious with her although it's still an odd choice for sam in my opinion #it's possible that the majority of people writing her this way. did not watch the whole show.#and therefore missed her actual character. or weren't paying attention to Sam saying he's as content as he can be with The Life.
