mme time! \o/

I feel this unexplainable urge to make this meme. Maybe it's just because it's Monday, or maybe it's because there's never be enough love for Sam in the world. I'm not that familiar with memes and stuff, so, help me out here people :)



HOW TO APPRECIATE CORRECTLY:
♥ Post pic/gif/video/fic/whatever that includes Sam.*
♥ tell why you love him so much (in this particular picture or just in general).
♥ appreciate and love with everyone else.
♥ spread the love and the appreciation all over the place (i.e. repost!)



* it can be your own work, or it can be someone else's. No stealing.

Will try harder, honest. Meanwhile, I think Jared needs to read this post and all the comments. <3

One of my favorite pics of Sam, EVER. :D

Let me try that again on a non-romantically-cryptic day. I'm having a verbose day today. Sorry about that...

I love Sam because he shows me what it is to be an imperfect human being.

At some point I realised that this character was *way* under my skin. I really care what happens to him.

I love that he fights so hard against the destiny that other forces try to impose upon him (from escaping to Stanford to be his own person, right up to refusing Lucifer over and over again).

He started out so sure of himself and so well-meaning, became such a strong, capable hunter, but at some point he began to slip into a tragic demise as he made desperately big mistakes, lost all his innocence and felt he had to become some kind of monster to put it right, finally sacrificing himself [I write this from England - we don't get s6 till January]. But he never gave up believing that somehow he *could* put it right, however much of himself he had to lose to do so.

Despite all the terrible things he did, he's always had a good heart. It's always felt as though somehow it would be possible to bring him back to life, back from addiction, back from the edge he seemed to teeter on for so long. All through seasons 4&5 my heart ached for him, his innocence lost, watching him slowly fall and gradually fail, and pleading with him under my breath, Oh, Sammy, please be good. And the end was so bittersweet: he won, but he had to lose himself to do it.

To be fatally flawed, and yet forgiveable, is a complex concept to me. I'm so hard on myself and my own mistakes, and it's a real stretch to embrace the idea that the flaws and mistakes that make us human - even the monumentally disastrous ones - are forgiveable precisely *because* we're human, and because we keep trying, in the hope of one day redeeming ourselves and making our overall contribution to the world a positive one. Sam always keeps trying, trying so hard, and I love him for that.

It's just TV, it's just entertainment, he's just a beautiful, beautiful, sweet young man who distracts me like crazy, but it's more than that too. Actors have the chance to show us to ourselves, to make us think and love and grow; we learn best through stories, and I love what Sam teaches me about what it is to be disastrously human.

Yes, yes, so much yes. I found myself tearing up at this, because it really hits the nail on the head for me as far as what it is about Sammy that I just love.

♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't.

And thank *you* for saying so, it means a lot to me that I got it right for you too.
