There's something interesting about how sam and dean's hell experiences are portrayed. Dean has just enough agency in hell to become the aggressor, while sam is only the victim and can only be the victim
#idk something about the way dean becomes a master torturer while sam becomes a master of being tortured#and this isnt to say dean deserved it or had it easy but there's just.. a Difference#idk i have thoughts about how this contributes to why i cant get my head around people viewing dean as the poor poor victim#and sam as the Horrible younger brother#and it's not the hell experiences themselves but how they're portrayed#there's a bit of a sense of 'sam deserved it sam asked for it'#while dean didnt#despite the fact that dean frankly did not need to make the deal#but sam /did/ need to be the one to beat the devil#and the way that dean post hell /becomes/ the aggressor#whereas sam post hell. doesnt do that#once again i just think its something interesting#and these are just half formed thoughts#and i dont like the interpretation that dean is weak for breaking in hell bc he's not#like this isnt to drag /dean/ but rather to highlight something in the difference of the writing#for each experience#lea speaks
