!!! That is how I feel about Sam! All things considered, I should be identifying with him in the early seasons, but I am less interested in his stories. I have read exactly one Sam-centric genfic. IRL I'd hang out with him, and Dean would eventually grate on my nerves (what was the episode where he was like "I love being used for sex"? yeah we can just do that), but in fictionland it's opposites day everyday. I'm fine with Dean's emo, I just wish I understood it more. The other characters keep saying he's broken all the time, but idk he doesn't seem anymore broken than any of the other characters. Sam seems the more broken of the two. But then again I was reading someone's post about how she has PTSD and relates to Dean's PTSD, so idk.
