Does it still frustrate anyone else that Sam was villainized and ostracized for his mistakes but Dean was sympathized with and supported for his? I realize that Sam's were in the early days of the show when the story telling was still fresh and nuanced, but it's so blatant that they must have realized what they were doing when they had Sam and Castiel treating Dean like a victim rather than the perpetrator of his own bad choices.

[sml-str]

Got in a dumb tiktok argument with someone over Dean's treatment of Jack and whether it was comparable to John, aand... at some point, their argument was "He treated him the same as Sam and Cas; Dean is brutal in his relationship with others..." and really just made the "it's ok he was cruel bc he is also cruel to the rest of his family" argument. Then later, when I tried to be kind and give the out of "I do think this was bad writing though," they literally insisted it wasn't bad writing and their way of proving it wasn't bad writing was... by listing several other examples of Dean being abusive to other teens/young adults like pointing the gun at Kayla. Literally just gave free examples of Dean being abusive in order to argue it was good writing, while arguing Dean was nothing like John and wasn't abusive.

Dean using Sam letting lucifer out and “losing his soul” as things he needs to repent for still raises my blood pressure he’s so nasty

[peanutbutterandbananasandwichs]

Something about how Dean was WAY scarier when he was himself with the MoC (and frequently without it too) than when he was a literal demon (with the MoC) (who lets be honest was mostly just cringe). Idk. Telling.

I never watched the last, like, five seasons of Supernatural because I was eventually filled with too much rage, but I missed Sam, so I started rewatching a few older season episodes. I was never that into Mystery Spot, but getting to watch Sam be smart and intense and peak Sam at the same time as getting to watch Dean die repeatedly because he sucks? Love it.

I hear you, anon!

I actually loved Dean initially, right up until he punched Sam in 2x03 which immediately downgraded him to 'barely tolerable for Sam's sake'. After s4 and s5, he earned a special place in my imaginary hell and Mystery Spot became my comfort episode. And just when I thought he couldn't possibly get any worse, along came s8-s10. By the opening scene of Goodbye Stranger with all the dead Deans lying on the floor, my reaction was nothing but a satisfied warm fuzzy glow instead of the intended horror.

I will say that s11 is definitely worth watching because we finally, finally get back to some real brother moments (particularly Red Meat), and Dean becomes almost likeable again. Sam's interactions with Lucifer are the high points of the season and make it worth putting up with the Dean/Amara cringefest.

Dean absolutely would have voted for Trump. He calls him the Trumpster gleefully in that one ep come on.

Can I ask you about how you feel about dean? I’m a little confused if it’s more on the side of disliking him or just being critical of him. Im just genuinely curious because you ship Wincest and really like Sam, so I was wondering how your feelings on dean affect your like on Wincest.

sorry it took me so long; had to think this through but i still don't know how to answer that other than "it's complicated"

i think two things can be true at once

i'm not interested in dean. i hate his ass. i love it when he prays begging for sam's life. or when he orders angels around to fix sam

he's undeniably abusive

wincest still goes hard

at times because dean is abusive

[nyaningthroughlife]

Fucking hate Season 8 rn, like, why is Sam the villain here??? Goddamn, the writers making me a Bitter Sam Girl.

Now, I'm confused about my feelings about Dean. On one hand, he pisses me off, on the other... no wait, he still pisses me off. I don't know what to say about him anymore. The things he says just make me so frustrated.

Huntercorp Dean not meeting Cas is a crime actually

He has Negative Charm by the way, the oppostie of how Dean is full of it - so his flirting game is abysmal. He's full of cheesy cringey one-liners that literally never work on anyone, but they go so wildly over Cas's head that they get his attention anyway and end up kind of working.

Cas walks in and Huntercorp Dean is like, "HELLO. Who is this???"

Regular Dean is immediately bristling. He recognises that tone and the way he's leaning back in his seat, clearly checking Cas out. "That's Castiel, he's an Angel."

"I'll say. Every time he looks at me I feel like I'm in Heaven."

Cas voice "Actually you can't get to Heaven from here..."

"Well they must be missing an angel cause you're right here."

"Ah. None of the other angels miss me. In fact I think they're quite glad I'm gone."

Huntercorp Dean winks. "Well you can stay here with me then, cause you're definitely answering all of my prayers right now."

"You're praying to me? I can't hear you." Cas goes a little bashful. "And that's nice of you to say, Dean. You know I try to be around as much as I can."

Now full of enthusiasm because his lines are WORKING Huntercorp Dean continues flirting with Cas with 0 awareness of how bad he is at it while Cas continues to be equal parts confused and endeared.

Meanwhile Regular Dean has his head in his hands wishing a portal would open up and take the other Dean away again.

Can we all just agree that Dean is really bad at giving Sam motivational speeches?

Season 5 "Sam Interrupted"

Sam- "I'm really angry all the time."

Dean - "Suck it up and bury it. We don't have time for your issues."

Season 7 "Hello Cruel World"

Sam - " I don't know what's real! I'm having a breakdown!"

Dean - "Okay, I'm your real brother because I will kick your ass when I need to. Here's what you're going to do. Every time you see Lucifer, you're going to hurt yourself."

Season 8 "Sacrifice"

Sam - "You think I'm useless and can't do anything. I'm a terrible brother."

Dean - "Aw come on. Just because I said that a few times doesn't mean I actually wanted you to believe it."

There could be more but those are the ones I can remember.

it's so sad how continuously sam is told in s5 by dean that he doesn't have faith in him, he's going to betray him somehow, this is all his fault, he can't save the world, he's a bad brother who doesn't care about their family, only for sam to single-handedly save the world because of his love for dean and sacrifice himself to an eternity of unimaginable torture

DEAN WITHERS???

See y’all next October and Happy Halloween! 🎃

"Last Call" is on TNT. So cringe. As much as I love Sam whump, the scenes of "Dean" singing and talking about old times with a heretofore unknown person is just..... It was really sad that they lost the ability to write Dean and not a caricature of his persona.

[marginofthought]

Sam deserved to get his tight hole ruined by his big brother
