I know your blog is mostly Destiel(and I love you for that!) but I was wondering if you saw the OBVIOUS reverse parallel between Patience and Sam with the whole "if you go out of this door never come back" thing and what are your thoughts on it because honestly I'm loving it and the whole concept of badass Wayward Sisters
I actually see myself as an overall Supernatural blog, I just happen to have a real passion for Destiel because I love romance, but I love all of TFW and the whole show, I don’t have a true leaning per se like I dislike talking about Sam, I love talking about Sam! :D
Yeah I loved this, we saw how Patience was a great mirror for Dean in 13x03 and now she is a great mirror for Sam in 13x06, I think really overall her powers (plot) are a mirror of Sam while her inner character story is a mirror of Dean, which makes a lot of sense because in the show overall Sam was created to carry the plot arc and Dean to carry the character arc, of course both to both, but each with more of a leaning on way or another.
Same with Kaia too tbh, the fact that she’s been harming herself in order to stay out of the Bad Place is reminiscent of both of them with the self - harm and self - hate (I’m not important) (Dean) but it also being something beyond her control that she tries to run away from until she can learn to live with it within herself and that it doesn’t have to be bad or make her a bad person (Sam).
This is why Jack is also a brilliant mirror for them (and Cas).
This makes them truly interesting as individual characters as we know this kind of story gets people invested or SPN wouldn’t be in it’s 13th year, but they can explore them a little differently than they did with Sam and Dean, or it’s just a rehash which is boring, while at the same time using them within the SPN world to show the mirror and parallel purposefully in order to show how far Sam and Dean have both come from their own pilot.
I desperately want to write more but work beckons and I have a ridiculously busy weekend ahead, but hey we have all of Christmas hiatus :) I’ll come back to this though as Sam is really getting a good story arc this season and I am really glad it’s coming bigger and clearer just as I hoped it would for the second 2/3 of the season.
The whole show is like a big glorious mirrored circle filled with angst and despair but a halo of light around it that they’re heading towards at endgame...
