#just sort of. there for. (getting kissed with Hookman. seeing Meg naked later.) but at least the show almost frames Sam watching Meg through

[quietwingsinthesky]

theres one that says sam was creepy for waiting outside that terrified, traumatized girls house in hookman and then making out with her minutes later, which, okay, point taken. but i think thats more of a case of the writers leaning into the whole damsels in distress, women want a shining knight to save them & then fuck them after they just lived through insane trauma - cliché

…Okay, see, out of context and if you present it like that, I can see how that seems negative, but I’m replaying that moment in my head and it’s like:

Waiting outside her house? Yeah, that’s his damn job, he and Dean do this countless times over the course of the show. In s1, I can remember them staking out that one woman’s house to wait for Azazel to show up to give her baby blood. At a certain point, we can’t judge him or Dean for doing things that are expected of them in the genre of show they’re in (Supernatural is a cop show with monsters -> Cop shows have stakeouts.) (At that point, you’d have to start saying stuff like “well, they carry guns around all the time, and that’s bad because they might shoot someone,” or, “why do they keep doing torture on the torture-interrogation show.”)

The making out with her bit does seem iffy out of context, but then you watch the episode, and the girl is the one who goes outside and initiates it. Sam is the one to break off the kiss because he’s still mourning Jess. So? What? Was he supposed to use his psychic powers to dodge her lips?

And yeah, like you said, a helping of misogyny to smooth it along, but it’s not like both boys getting kisses for saving the day is an uncommon occurrence.
