Re: THE MOST MUCHAS OF GRACIAS

LOL I MUST CONFESS, I DID NOT ANTICIPATE LEAVING AN ESSAY-LENGTH RESPONSE. It just happens. Suddenly everything comes out the size of a thesis XD

YA I am trying to get re-enchanted with show, I did not think it was a problem I would ever have since I am usually inclined to watch/read and love things on their own terms, but somehow critique wormed its way into my brain. Go away, critique, stay away from my happy fun exciting show.

SASSY NOTHINGS <3 your creepin is excellent creepin. especially if it involves blankets. I will flatter you with all the Siken comparisons in the world if you keep writing like that oh damn.

LOLOL SOMETIMES I AM INDEED THE CAS XD Next I will be trying to understand porn. Watch out, world, here comes my boner.

No, you are right, that is obsession - I think I was talking about how you incorporated it stylistically, though. His obsession with Sam isn't something where he's consciously, emotionally obsessing over and picking apart his feelings about Sam. In the narrative, Sam is just there all the time, and the images are potent and charged but they stand on their own merit, like poetry can punch you with an image and not have to explain why it should punch you. You could have written a fic where it was all descriptions of how Dean HAS SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT SAM but you did not get into that and the overall effect is stronger. Dean's feelings about Sam are so all over the place and complicated that talking about them with fic would ring kinda hollow, or limit the complexity/intensity of it all. Instead Sam is just everywhere in Dean's memories and in his head, which makes sense for brothers, and it says a lot by what it doesn't say. It's also a lot more Deanly, like this. Dean has feelings about Sam like crazy. But he resists engaging with feelings, no chick-flick moments, and Sam is just a part of his life, so that's how he treats it in his head even though it's actually tearing him up.

WOW, HAVE ANOTHER ESSAY WHILE I'M AT IT
