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).

This is a really interesting post, thank you. It is helping get back some Dean!feelings :)

And it reminds me a bit of my read on Sam at the end of S4 - I always thought part of him knew, on some level, that getting and using the power to kill Lilith would almost certainly either kill him or turn him into something else - a demon, a monster. And that part of the motive behind the beat-down and the angry separation was Sam, on some level, trying to make sure that Dean was angry enough to take Sam out if he had to. So this version of Dean's headspace makes sense to me, somehow.
