It’s crazy to see how people interpret dean and sam’s brother dynamic as “wincest”

Some people have clearly never had a parentified older sibling. Then you take into account the degree of trauma that they have been through and continue to go through. Their codependency stems from their childhood and current traumas, their mental states due to that, the way they grew up with their father obsessing over the importance of “family is everything,” and the deep parentification of Dean, AKA Dean having to be a CHILD while raising his little brother, and taking care of his insane father. It’s not “wincest”/incestuous in anyway, it’s called trauma, parentification and general unstable family dynamics.

I think that a lot of “wincest” shippers don’t actually see what trauma can do to a person and their dynamics, specifically the people that endured that trauma with you. Dean, who was the older one that had to in HIS WORDS “be the mother, father, and brother” of his younger brother since the age of !4! is obviously going to be extremely protective/codependant of/with Sam, both because of the parentification and the words of his father carved into his very being. As for Sam, having Dean be all those things for him, means that more than anything, Dean is it for him because Dean RAISED HIM. Which is why, for so many reasons, what John said to Dean (killing Sam), was one of the most cruel things he could have done. John if not straight out, on some level knows that Dean and Sam will forever have a different dynamic because Dean raised Sam, ergo, Dean being more of a Parent to Sam than he ever was.

That’s not to say I think Dean was a “perfect parent” to Sam when he was raising him. No one can be “perfect” especially not a teenager raising his baby brother. What it means is that Dean had to sacrifice his childhood and grow up quickly for Sam to be not only Alive, but also so that Sam could -have- a childhood. All of this while Dean was still actively growing up, enduring his father, hunting, and having to come to terms with monsters. But he couldn’t allow himself to mess up, and going back to the idea of “perfect parenting” we see that no, he in fact was never “perfect” specifically when he leaves so that he can play games, and he sees that Sam’s safety is (extremely unfairly) placed on his shoulders. All of this, yet again along side with never having a stable home, having an unreliable source of income, and having to basically learn how to be an adult at 7, was the start of their dynamic.

As for Sam, we see that he got to play on soccer teams, go to school, and exist (while still having to endure all of the nightmares that is his homelife) outside of the hunting. Whereas Dean was the one who gave him this chance. This is not to say that Sam should ever feel guilt over this, or that Dean needed to do this. This is to show just how different their sibling relationship is, due to the trauma.

Dean treats Sam like a brother many times, but underneath it (or on top) you will always see that he is a parent to him more than anything.

“Wincest” is talking about their “strange/codependant relationship” in a romantic or purely sexual manner. This in itself just shows how many people don’t understand what it means to either have a kid or be a parentified older sibling. (I personally am not a parentified older sibling, but my sister who practically raised me is) and because of MY family dynamic I can speak from experience (definitely not to Dean and Sam’s extent) of having a parentified older sibling, and how that differs from regular sibling relationships.

Ok, this was a ramble, but as a whole “wincest” is extremely disturbing to me as a whole. And I don’t know what the rules are on this specific topic, so Idk how much I should say. But I definitely don’t condone inc*st to any degree, but to each their own ig.

Alright, I have SO much more to say on this topic. But I will hold back for now, just because I am sleepy.

XOXO

I'M SORRY BUT YES – in the Xanderverse, everyone would have dessert for breakfast and blueberry scones would be a staple food. Also, having one eyebrow would be considered as a norm.

I live for Xander Hawthorne and his cute antics.

TFW your mother died when you were young and your father became cold and distant and would rather have a soldier than a son but your older brother tried to protect you to the best of his ability but at some point you have to fight even though you don’t really want to because none of you have ever known peace and your brother is starting to slowly end up more and more like your father but he still defends you against him and suddenly your father thinks you’re better off dead but then he dies and so does your brother and you never really got to reconcile with your father and your brother never really got to chance to stop fighting but now you have to move on with your life from the both of them even though it kills you. but hey at least you have a great wife.

‘dean is the heart of the show!’ yeah and it’s a horror show. so he’s awful. <3

[babyblue-mind]

young sam and dean!!!

[demons-i-get]

WAIT BIG BRAINED THOUGHT:

Sam does smth stupid hoping Dean won't find out.

Someone rats Sam out to Dean.

Sam gets in trouble and a lecture from Dean (bc Dean is a parent and he is Sam's parent I will not accept criticism on this matter).

Later, Sam makes a group chat consisting of everyone who could have told on him to Dean and just sends this video:

Charles' love for his sister is so much more powerful when you know about how they lost their brother and the fear and pain it caused them like there was so much love between those siblings in what was ostensibly such a cold and formal family and one of them died so young, so now there's only two siblings left and they just have to keep loving each other all the more because each other is all they have

these people are actually on crack cocaine

S1 E11 Supernatural

Sam and Dean and their relationship with John. It's interesting the difference between them, Sam will stand up to John, wants to do what he wants and will fight for it. Dean on the other hand doesn't stand up to John, has accepted that John's way is how he's gonna live and isn't fighting it. look at Sam on the phone vs Dean, Sam is fighting John, wants John to talk to him, want answers and refused to take down the names John was telling him. Then Dean got the phone and he basically snapped to attention, he call John 'Sir' he took the names down and went to where he was told. The difference in them even though they were raised together!

On to the Episode, I liked Deans reaction to Sam stealing a car 'That's my boy!'. Idk about this girl she's after them for some reason but her blood boss told her to not take them. Sam kinda fell for this girls story which is a bit too much like his, like I definitely think she tailored it to get to him. Sam is a bit more empathetic towards people and that's good but sometimes it's bad, like this case she coulda killed him. it's nice to see Dean is competent on his own, we get to see him doing this case on his own and while it's easier with Sam, Dean can still handle himself. He definitely thinks his Dad is the best though with his comments on how John put together the missing people and the town. I wonder if we'll get an episode to see Sam truly on his own on a case to see how he works without Dean. But you can definitely see the brothers know each other, Sam knowing Dean would pick up if he called so he knew something was wrong. Just they're separated this episode so it let's you see them a bit more.

ohhhhh s1 e18 of supernatural got me feelin some things

[sammygender]

at the end of the day i can’t see dean ever settling down with anyone as long as sam’s alive. he’ll never prioritise anyone else over sam. this is why the only time i could ever really get behind destiel was in endverse

[lesbianjackkline]

wanna make a big post about the parallels between spn and frailty (2002), but first of all, effort, and second of all, i think i might lose my mind before i actually finish it, but alright
