hi so this is the seperate sb i made

[gothicsammy]

dean offscreen was calling sam a f*ggot, smoking a pack a day, and hooking up with high schoolers. sam offscreen was committing suicide in various ways only for lucifer to bring him back each time

Is that all there is?

SEASON EIGHT. everyone has already said this. but they are like: while sam was off playing house with his military wife in cartoon fairytale world, Dean was steeped in bloody grimy hyperreality living PURE like an ANIMAL. while Sam was at the farmer's market purchasing one single red pepper, Dean was HUNTING. and I'm thinking abt this bc spn always frames the hunting lifestyle as an inherently deeper more authentic experience sitting just beneath the surface of the naive civilian artifice which we simultaneously covet and resent. obviously this is bc it is military propaganda.

but I'm thinking abt all this bc I'm thinking abt popular hc that Amelia was a hallucination in conjunction with Sam's post-cage issues identifying what is Real. Sam left for Stanford but Stanford in spn represents civility and thus is inherently Less Real than life on the road. and partially this is bc the show is abt classic action heroes and normal life doesn't show up on camera. lucifer tells Sam: you're real, I'm very real, everything else is just set dressing. doylistically, women like Lisa, Amelia, Jess and Mary's blessed memory ARE rendered set dressing. stanford is the djinn dream. stone number one is pain. Sam's linchpin for reality post-cage is hunting. you pretended to be normal but the REAL you is based in violence. hey man like it or not we are not like other people. so Sam's bid for individuality and 'normal' life is inevitably reframed as Sam shutting his eyes and trying to live in a dream, aka impotent spineless refusal of the call. so ofc it contributes to Sam's disassociation/unreality even pre-cage when he's been told over and over again not to trust his own mind. & this is one of the main contributors to fan perception of Sam as some sort of incredible liar bc he wants to be a civilian even though he knows the Truth and civilians inherently inhabit a shallower level of reality.

on the flipside of the genre aware Dean coin I've always had this idea that sam is genre-resistant, he is oblivious or disdainful or both. I mean obviously with moments like 'you peed yourself!' or 'there aren't even words in this newspaper dean!' the joke is that he's not participating in Dean's self-conscious vaudeville act. first scene of him as an adult is him telling Jess he doesn't want to dress up for Halloween, he resists being costumed, he doesn't pick the music and all the music he is shown genuinely enjoying the joke is that it's out-of-place, too whiny or modern. his pop culture touchstones don't mesh with the show's very strict aesthetic sensibilities. also in comparison to Dean who is such a chameleon Sam is kind of allergic to pretense. like thinking abt in it's a terrible life where Dean immediately adapts to the contours of his new role vs Sam who is thrashing around like a trapped animal.

I'm writing a paper for my "The Bible as Literature" class and we have to write a term paper comparing it to modern media... I am making the argument that Sam is a messiah-like character. If anyone has any suggestions or comparisons to make please share! (Specifically seasons 1-5 but anything after that is welcome as well). This is what I have so far after five minutes of thinking about it not too hard:

Mother mary 

Dean = john the baptist (companion)? 

Has a supernatural father figure

Can perform miracles

Put on trial by said supernatural father to prove himself 

Dies by stab wound (similar to the side wound)

No, because you don't understand; he's scared of clowns, he checks strip clubs reviews before going, he used to be tech in his highschool's play, he had a magician phase as a kid, he believed in the easter bunny until 11 and a half, he liked the movie Entrapment and he buys fancy shampoos and hides them from his brother.

The thing is, Sam is actually very masculine in a lot of the traditional ways. He dresses masculine, works out, subscribes to most gender roles. However, when you compare him to Dean, or even most other male hunters, he doesn’t always make the cut.

His gentle nature doesn’t always allow him to be ruthlessly masculine in the way others are; i.e., watching his diet, caring about cleanliness, enjoying the researching side of things, long hair, and especially being empathetic towards even monsters.

So, in return for his gentleness, he gets feminized (both narratively and by the characters themselves).
