Me, about to pounce through the phone to hug you

i see we’re talking about brattiness!

as a certified ✨ brat ✨i can tell you it’s definitely not an everyday/constant thing for the obvious reason being that around the clock brattiness would stress both partners out. i just love it personally bc i’m a psycho and love pushing my man’s buttons bc he gets hot when he’s mad sksks and it’s such a satisfying chain of events for me to get him riled up on purpose bc i love getting roughed up a bit and having him fall into my trap everytime AND praise me 😭 you are quite literally giving me what i want all the time you can’t be surprised by the way i act

Yes!!! It can be so fun to be a little mischievous and a handful! And that’s exactly it! You know you’re gonna get exactly what you want each and every time 😈 the desired set of consequences afterwards always hits especially different! So well said!!

If anyone cares what I think, I thought the finale was great. It was a small story, focusing back on the brothers and family.

MOST importantly to me personally, Sam got to live a long, good life. He found something as close to normal as was possible for him, he raised a son, and he died peacefully when he was old.

I never thought Supernatural off all things would stick the landing and actually give me and my fellow Sam girls so many things we wanted, but here we are.

As I told one of my friends who hasn’t watched the show in years when she asked if she should catch up “God no! But you can watch the finale without catching up.” And if you ever cared about this show on any level, if you ever cared about Sam and Dean Winchester, I think you’ll like their ending.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THE WOLF IN THE TEASERS WAS REAL?

[semirahrose]

theres a line in rent when two of the main characters are fighting that goes "you're always preaching not to be numb when that's how you thrive" and it makes me think of sam for some reason? like,,,,, he's always telling dean that it's okay to feel things but he himself seems to not know how to deal with his trauma and his negative emotions so he represses and numbs them so that he doesn't have to think about them. i love him so much :(((

Ohhhh my goodness that is absolutely perfect! Thank you! It’s so very, very true. Sam is a mass of contradictions. He stands up for others but not for himself. He preaches assertiveness and self-confidence and self-acceptance but exercises none of them for his own benefit.  It’s so sad and he needs Sully honestly. Or therapy. AND therapy. Extensive therapy.

He only peripherally got to confront some of his seasons-old feelings about his own inadequacy and impurity in s13 because Jack was experiencing those same things and Sam wanted to help him to the other side of them. He only spoke about his trauma at Lucifer’s hands because Rowena had experienced it, too. Sam is an absolute pro at conceal, don’t feel, but oh boy will he mine his own trauma if he thinks there’s raw material there that might help someone else. (I’m not crying you’re crying.) He is exhaustively and exhaustingly dedicated to being good.

Realistically, that kinda repression is entirely unsustainable. He will shatter. Season 13, groundbreakingly, allowed Sam to have the occasional feelings and even the sort of emotional outbursts you’d expect from someone who repressed like they were being paid for it. We got that great scene in grief counseling where he vented about how he felt that he was never able to really get to know Mary. 

There was a reason that we all got the GiveSamaVoice tag going a couple seasons back; for the longest time, the show heaped agony on Sam and then pretended nothing happened. There’s repression (understandable, in line with Sam’s character, and—to an extent—absolutely necessary in this sort of story to keep the characters moving and acting) and then there’s bad and insensitive writing. It was the latter. Season 13 has been taking small, though tangible, steps to rectify that. Here’s hoping for good things in s14.

Okay, okay, okay. In reference to that last post. Just imagine: Sam Wilson limiting the number of night missions on school nights. Imagine him putting his foot down because he has a firm rule, during finals there are NO NIGHT MISSIONS, GET YOUR ASS BACK HOME YOU HAVE A CALCULUS FINAL AT 9! THE WORLD IS ALWAYS ON THE VERGE OF ENDING, GO STUDY, WE GOT THIS. Sam Wilson showing up at science fairs and talent shows and quiz bowl competitions. Taking pictures, clapping, even at the quiz bowl. The judges threaten to kick him out but he's just so damn proud of all his superhero kids. Sam Wilson making wake up calls after night missions to make sure the kids are awake in time to catch the bus. Sam Wilson asking about their day at school while on missions. Sam Wilson asking about their grades. Sam Wilson proofreading college admission essays and beaming as the admission letters start rolling in. Sam Wilson also being quietly encouraging when the rejection letters roll in as well. Sam Wilson being an outstanding mentor and all around excellent dude that all the kids look up to and count on okay.
