my relationship with supernatural is old and bitter and spans five years of watching the show and ignoring the fandom entirely, until now. i feel i have missed out of years of fannish/fandom/fanon stuff that i should know about re: dean, and kripke, and sam's unpopularity. i'm re-watching season four now though, for uh, research. of a kind. possibly reading dean as closeted makes for a far more pleasant watching experience. OMG DEAN.

Well, I mean, you can read the text any old way you want to! But TPTB seem to mistake fanservice for character development, which has interesting implications for Deano.

i feel that is true for like, many shows, not just supernatural. oh, TPTB. what do we do with you?
