if I see one more person compare Sam starting to drink demon blood to some power hungry egotistical thing i’m going to SCREAM.
because I have never heard such a fundamentally wrong interpretation of Supernatural quite like that one. he wasn’t doing it because he wanted to be the most powerful, all he wanted was to save people. he was scared and devastated by his brother‘s death, a death he felt helpless in preventing, and that was being used to manipulate him into thinking, “maybe if I keep drinking demon blood I can actually save people”
and also, it wasn’t some egotistical thing, he didn’t think he was stronger than the demon blood and would just be fine after, that interpretation might make me the most upset of all.
when Sam Winchester started drinking demon blood, he wanted to DIE. pre-season four, when Dean was in hell, he tried to go into a fight with Lilith with every intention of dying in the process.
sam starting to drink the blood was not him trying to gain power and influence for himself, it was the equivalent of him strapping a suicide bomb to his chest with the intention of walking into enemy headquarters.
