Drawn this for friend.She wanted to see interactions between older Sam and young Dean. I think if Sam ever met child Dean he’d do everything he could to fulfill Dean’s material wishes, like buying him those toy car models he really wanted but could never afford.

This might be a bit of a heavy question, but I genuinely want to ask American folks here something：

In your view, what social class do Sam and Dean — and hunters as a group — belong to in American society?

I recently learned more about the real living conditions of homeless people in the U.S., and honestly, they’re much harsher than I had imagined. It suddenly made me think of hunters in Supernatural.The parallels really stood out to me: no stable housing, no formal jobs, no social or medical security, constantly exposed to danger, and if they die, there’s often no record and no one notices.

I’m not trying to make a judgment — I’m just genuinely curious how people who grew up in the U.S. read this. Do hunters feel like a specific class to you, or is that not how the show is usually understood?

I went through and organized all the serious replies from both the comments and the reposts, and I realized the total word count is close to 9000 words. Holy shit the discussions under this post alone could basically be turned into an academic paper. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve asked a question in a fandom and received so many responses of such high quality. That’s exactly why I’ve never been able to let go of this fandom.

[cathybird0714]

it’s so good to see you again on the dash! I read that you reached the end of the show. What did you think of the ending? :)

Hiiii anon! I’m honestly surprised that anyone still remembers me. I’ve been really busy with school lately, so I haven’t been involved in the fandom at all—sorry about that.

As for my thoughts on the finale: to be honest, I couldn’t accept it at first. I cried my eyes out when I first watched it. But after thinking it through more carefully, I do feel like it’s the ending that best fits the characters’ internal logic.I know quite a few people whose personalities are very similar to Dean’s, and they all say they can understand his lack of desire to keep living. They all hope they’ll die before the people they love, because that way they won’t have to face endless pain alone. And honestly, I think Dean’s depression was very severe,his personality combined with years and years of accumulated trauma. Wanting to go to Heaven as soon as possible actually makes a lot of sense.

As for Sam, even though he was in immense pain, he really was the one out of the two who could eventually move forward and keep living. And in the end, Sam and Dean get to live together happily in Heaven forever—do I even need to say it? That’s basically a fairy tale.

So overall, while I do feel the finale was a bit rushed, I’m fairly satisfied with how Sam and Dean themselves were handled:D

[cathybird0714]

I’m someone who really loves serious analysis, and this fandom has honestly been such a first for me.Not only are there tons of high-quality meta posts, but when I asked some questions that weren’t exactly light or easy, multiple people were actually willing to write long, in-depth responses. The perspectives were all over the place, and the arguments and evidence were genuinely well thought out.This is the first fandom I’ve ever been in where that’s happened ,oh my god I love this fandom.

Here’s a great post which expands this quite richly!

Just a reminder that everyone underestimates Sam’s strength and thinks he’s weak but he:

- won a poker game against a witch that everyone said he couldn’t do and saved their asses

- overcame an addiction to the point where he was able to control himself from ingesting demon blood when it was being force fed to him so he could spit it out . And then AFTER that when famine offered him up demons to drink dry, he was able to fight it, use the power to defeat famine and save lives.

- Sam was able to take control of his body for long enough to throw himself and lucifer into the cage. It was hard enough for bobby to do that with a low level demon but LUCIFER?!

- sam consistently forgives, empathises with others more than anyone is willing to give to him. The strength alone in that is amazing

I once asked ChatGPT "How hard would it be for someone in Sam's situation to get into Stanford?". The answer was he would need to maintain an almost perfect GPA, SAT score has to be at least 1500 out of 1600, participate in community service, join club activities, and win awards in competitions… all while switching schools all the time and hunting on the side. Even if he were admitted to Stanford with a full scholarship, the pressure would still be immense—he would have to work part-time continuously to cover his living expenses... Dude’s basically a superhero. If I had spent so many years and put in such tremendous effort to get into Stanford, I wouldn’t want to drop out either, no matter what my family said.

I made this during what was possibly the darkest period for J2 fans 🥲 I'm glad I posted it here because people here still have a sense of humour! I would've been roasted alive on Twitter 😅

Yes, still making edits occasionally. And I have you to thank for that - for spurring me on 🥰❤️

dean: the breaks, sammy. you… you hit the breaks

[cathybird0714]

I love the The Loric Verse by cyndrarae, so it's my rec for you.

The concept, the worldbuilding, the mystery, drama, it has everything. I hope the author might give us book 3 one day.

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.
