I have no idea why I keep wanting to compose essays in your comments without the least provocation, dude. Ahaha, I love it. Then I do the dumb thing and think, "Hmm, I need to set this aside for time when I can give her the proper reply that she deserves!" and sometimes I don't get around to it, which is bad of me. Remember the commentfic we were doing of Susan Pevensie and Mulder being building-mates? I totally meant to continue that, because what you wrote was AWESOME, but it just keeps getting pushed back and pushed back. So let it be known for the record: that was (is!) awesome.
I think Dean's internalization is related to how he has always given the best parts of himself to his family, and it's so draining that I reckon that's why when he does let himself pursue something for himself, he pursues base desires. Women, food, whiskey.
it feels like the writers never really knew where they were going with the character and that makes me kind of sad because I sort of want to know what the fuck is going on in that boy's head. Yes! I dunno how much of it is the writing, how much of it is just JPad's wooden acting. I found little Sam in flashbacks more of an interesting character than JPad!Sam. I think Sam's story is theoretically compelling, because the whole arc of "I just wanna be normal" to starring role in the End Times is so tragically "how the mighty have fallen!" but someone somewhere is doing something wrong because I am not finding it very interesting. He's very reactionary when it comes to his family, but I guess that can be said of Dean too. They don't think things through very well when family is involved.
lol, as someone who has spent a good amount of time splashing around in the skeevier waters of Narnia fandom, I cannot judge you for reading incest fic. But my attitude towards Wincest has been largely "meh" 'cos I am here for the Castiel/Dean because somehow SPN turned me into that kind of shipper. I was multishippy with Merlin and Narnia, but I don't know, SPN makes me scarcely know myself.
