#actually i think the said power imbalance being present in their s*xual dynamic makes it even more delicious in a fucked up way

The problem with Kripke-era samdean switching is that Dean would need two things in order to let it happen: to feel like he’s the one in control the entire time (maybe even to the point of forcing it on Sam), and, most importantly/impossibly, to get over his sexist preconceptions that bottoming is for the more “feminine” (read: inferior) partner. Personally, I think Dean is possessive and selfish enough to want Sam every single way he can have him, but not to the point of feeling like he’s lost that superior, in charge, big brother role he (and John) have meticulously crafted since he was four years old.

this is pretty much the meaning of the siren episode where it’s blatantly, textually said that dean’s biggest desire is a perfect, submissive version of his little brother. the version of sam that he’s attracted to. one thing about kripke era samdean (especially late kripke s4-5) is that if they ever got sexual, it’d absolutely be strictly top!dean/bottom!sam (and aside from all the reasons why dean wouldn’t bottom, there’s also the fact that sam wouldn’t try/want to top in this relationship in the first place) and personally i don’t see anything bad about it being the only possible dynamic for that period of time because it is in character and realistic in pretty much every single aspect, if you actually analyze their fucked up power imbalanced olderbrotherfather & youngerbrotherson dynamic in depth with all the nuances. besides, not every fictional ship needs switching to work

and lets be real here, dean’s diet tells you everything you need to know about the impossibility possibility of him being a bottom
