Help...

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).

Hiding from tumblr, so we all have sand in our shorts? ;)

One of the things I love about interaction on places like LJ (particularly ash48's journal) is that there are a lot of meaty conversations going on. I've read your comment twice now and have found myself nodding my head in agreement in so many places.

Every word of it!

And I'm glad my long, ridiculous comment upthread was well-received. I get really nervous about posting that kind of thing, especially when it comes to either Sam or Dean, and that anxiety has only increase rather than decreased, relative to time spent in fandom. SIGH. XP
