SAM AND JODY, BREAK YOUR DANG VOWS

[flutiebear]

Am I the only one who ships Sam/Jody? Like, I get that not every single female character on the show needs to be one of the male leads' love interests. But ever since Time After Time I just really, really like the idea of them hanging out, kicking ass, and taking names. Jody's totally assertive enough to keep Sam in line. OTH, she's got a nurturing side and I think Sam needs that, too. Not to mention that Jody actually knows about monsters/hunting and could be integrated into that world.

I admit I prefer Sam and Jody as a platonic pair. Unlike Dean, Sam never really knew their mother, not even for a little bit, and so Jody serves as sort of a surrogate; she nurtures and encourages Sam, but in this tough-as-nails sort of way, like maybe how Sam thinks Mary would’ve been like if she’d survived, you know? And for Jody’s part, she looks at Sam and sees the son that was taken from her; she sees a little boy who desperately craves a mother; someone who allows her to nurture and love and feel like she used to, if only for a little while. And oh gosh, they just interact so well, they complement each other so neatly, and it’s maybe my favorite relationship of Sam’s in the entire series, not the least of which because it’s something just for him, because Dean and Jody just don’t really have the same rapport.

But if something more were to happen between Sam and Jody, I wouldn’t mind at all. :)

Still, as much as I hate the argument that “omg she can’t be with Character A because she’s Character B’s love interest gross” (as if female characters were merely accessories, whose only function is to serve the appropriate man’s emotional needs), canonically speaking Jody does seem interested in Bobby only, and she doesn’t seem like the type to sleep with the son of the guy she used to crush on — no matter how magnificently moosey he may be..
