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 like to ignore other people's comments as well, but I can never keep myself from saying something nice about Sam. He just doesn't deserve people to hate him :/

Lucifer!Sam is nice in a very freaky kind of way... which makes him so intriguing I guess.

Yep, I've been known to go on a few Sam related rants over the seasons. I just can't help it. I wear my Sam!girlness loud and proud. Just I tend to get smad when i meet haters so I tend to stick to my own little corner of Fandom and only pop my head out when I can absolutely NOT keep quiet anymore. Also I try to stick with the whole 'can't say something nice? Then shut the f*ck up!' I'm old enough to have been a part of the JossVerse fandom way back when and I've still got the scars from the bashers vs. shippers wars I guess.

Intriguing and freaky nice. Of course I'm also sure that if any one can kick his ass it would/will be our very favorite Samuel Winchester.

Thankfully I've been okay in the few comms where I'm bothering with posting... I stay away from all kinds of messageboards, as I've had too many bad experiences in other fandoms with that kind of thing. Usually I save my rants for my own journal ;)

I never get the haters... fandom is supposed to be fun and sure, I moan too when I don't like something but it's usually little things. How can I be a fan of something and hate on one of the main characters? I'm a Sam!girl but I adore Dean and I'd never publicly bash him :/

I'm a Win!girl, which means I've spent a lot of energy trying to defend Sam and also look at him from Dean's point of view. Honestly, I don't understand how any Dean!girl could hate Sam. Sam is the most important thing in Dean's world, how can anyone hate that? Even if what he does hurts Dean, it's not like Dean would ever just ditch him or talk smack about him the way Dean's fans do. (Note: I'm not saying ALL Dean!girls do this, but SOME of them do. Even if negative comments are few, they tend to be the loudest.) Sometimes you hurt the people you love. Actually, it seems like the more you love someone, the more you hurt them, intentionally or not. The show is about family above all else, and that includes all the ups and downs in their relationship.

That was wondefully said. I'm a Sam!girl but I absolutely love Dean and I'm not always happy with the way he treats Sam either. It's not like it's only Sam who's making mistakes, Dean does so too. But that's what being human means and family is as much about pain as it is about love. It's always the relationship between the brothers, their amazing bond that wins in the end, no matter what they did or said. I'll never understand why people don't get that they keep going because of each other - there can be no happy, content Dean without Sam and vice versa. We've seen enough proof of that.

Right, Dean does make mistakes as well, and I think that understanding them is another key to understanding Sam and the reasons he makes some of his decisions. In conversations I've had in the past, that get dismissed a lot because some fans think that Dean never made any mistakes. Dean IS righteous, and he's never EVER wanted to hurt Sam, but that doesn't mean that he wasn't unintentionally to demanding sometimes, telling Sam what he should do or be. Holding too tightly, really. But the point is, both of those boys have done and said some things that hurt one another, but it's just part of life. In the end, it's about forgiveness and understanding. (And, well, love - but it's always about love.)

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?

[hold-onhope.livejournal.com]

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.
