Thinking about Sam...

[ash48]

I made this little gif set and posted it to tumblr recently.



I was thinking about how sad it is that Sam ended up doing exactly what he hoped would never happen (again).



As sad as it is I am kind of excited by it because it speaks volumes about Sam and the recurring nightmare of having his body being out of his control. The fact that this connection has been made from episode 1 to episode 9 gives me hope that not only this, but all the issues surrounding it will be addressed in the second half. Yes yes I can hear you say don't hold your breath - but I'm going to *holds*. Also, Dean heard Sam say this. It has to hit home.



Also, I posted some S8 Sam hair gifs which resulted in some very serious meta on how Sam's hair represents his state of being here at supergifs Yep. It's very deep. And short.

I'm actually weirdly OK with that, as I was also OK with Sam and Dean being kinda sorta reconciled in s5 long before they approached real reconciliation, because I think it's true to my experience. People in intimate relationships do often stay together without really dealing with even major, major issues, out of habit or love or fear of change or even a form of resentment. Maybe I just have unusually unhealthy relationships, but in my experience the paper it over with a messy not-really-dealing and go on pattern is more common than the get at the root of issues and establish what needs to change to have something healthier pattern.

Of course, that means that five years later a 30 yo friendship may blow up forever over what looks like a tiny, trivial incident. I'm not saying that Sam and Dean back in harness after a scant couple of episodes, as seems likely, doesn't leave me with an ominous and depressing view of their future.
