Ok guys. I seriously need some intervention. I NEED to see and understand Dean's side of the story in S9. I need to start feeling sorry for him like so many others seem to. I actually mean this. By the end of S9 I was so god damn pissed off with him I can't even find it in my heart to feel bad that he's "become the very thing he hunts". He HAS become the very thing he hunts and not just because he's a demon now. He's been heading toward this for a while. It's actually one part of the S9 story telling that makes a lot of sense to me. He's slowly been blurring those lines and the consequence is what we are seeing now. I know we can feel sympathy for what they are doing to their characters the fact that Dean's actions have lead him here, but I am still struggling (so much!) with why people are still blaming Sam for what's happening to him.

So what the am I missing? (I promise I will listen if you can shed some light).

(this is actually effecting how I am feeling about the show atm and how I react to gifs (etc) that are highlight how bad things are for Dean. I need to stop thinking "but he deserves it!" and start feeling sorry for him. And stop reacting to things being said against Sam.../o\. I just wish I could understand why people are still so hard on Sam. All he did was tell some truths - in ONE episode).

Yeah, I mean, I think there are levels of cognition here, and I don't think Dean was willing to track it out in detail. But I think it's a fair bet that no one in their right mind, or even in their wrong mind, moves forward with a plan like that without thinking, well, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE WORST POSSIBLE THING. XP

The way I've chosen most recently to take it in fic is kind of like a "well no, I didn't ask what the consequences were, and I didn't think about what the details of those consequences would be, because I already know they're probably shit, and if I go any further with that, there's a chance I might not do it, and that hesitation, to me, screams worse" sort of deal.

I agree.
