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.

I think it's what Bobby said at the end of S5, how Dean sometimes just doesn't take Sam all that seriously because he's the younger brother and Dean feels like he has to shield and protect him from everything but sometimes that just backfires and it makes Sam make bad decisions, too. They keep pushing each other away but they always come back to each other, too, and that's the clearest sign for how much they love and need each other. In the end, that's what it comes down to, right? And it's not about who's better and who's right because they get through things together. None of them could have stopped the apocalypse on his own, right?

Right, exactly. I have a younger brother - four years younger, and we may not have grown up on the road fighting monsters, but I think I know how Dean feels sometimes. My brother is 18 and I still feel like I have to protect him sometimes, I forget to let him make mistakes on his own. Same thing with Dean. And Sam needs to rebel against that a little, has been doing that from the start. It's about finding a balance, which is one of the reasons I'm so excited about his new season. Sam's been off hunting on his own - well, with the Campbells, but not with Dean, so it might as well be on his own - and now I think they have to learn how to be together again without pushing or pulling at each other too hard.

Again, I completely agree. I have a younger sister - she's almost 7 years younger than me - and with younger siblings I think you just tend to try and tell them what to do. Because you want to protect them and keep them from making the same mistakes you made... and with my sister, I used to be her role model for a long time and I think it was weird for me to adjust when that changed.
But as you said, when you grow up you need to find a new balance in your relationship with your siblings, one that is more equal but that doesn't make it any weaker or whatever. My sister and me are best friends nowadays and I ask her for advice in the same way she would ask me.
