I'll admit it, I like Sam's shirts. Been trying to get myself the plaid type ones before the current trend, I like that sort of - I guess masculinity reference. I must admit also, though, that I am really fond of Sam Winchester himself, and had to make an effort to separate his shirts from the cuteness and Sam of the rest of him.


I hadn't noticed The Dog Shirt

till kalliel pointed it out - but now I like it! We had some theory going about the shirt surviving for so long because the dog was a real hell-hound and would secretly help save Sam or the boys from monsters, protecting their shirt/home - I don't remember, it was longer.

I'm fond of the v-necks

it was a pity, watching this one go

Sam felt my fanpain too

This is the second Sam shirt I happened to mention here strongly influenced by hell hounds. Perhaps they are the ones doing wardrobe for the show? I mean, who could forget these fashion forward spring cutouts?


Of course, then there is this one...
thank you for this one...

I mean, this one



There was on unexpected excursion into glam rock

a clear Velvet Goldmine reference



Then comes one of my favorite outfits of Sam's

(seriously - it's gorgeous, even just badbastion's work with light is just gorgeous - if you haven't, look at it! But not in unfriendly pornless spaces)

Probably my favorite of all of Sam's shirts is his hoodie -it is very Sam, a certain kind of Sam... - probably the one from Jared's audition:

That was one good audition!


There aren't really any I hate...

clearly the crosses are intended to ward off vampires.
+ I want Sam to get dressed in more silly things!
It's not like Jared can't do comedy....

SMG: "What do u think?? I could take them right!?! "



Probly, yeah. They're not great on women, and you're Buffy. I mean, you're gonna kick Dean's ass, you always win against people who call women names ,always, always. Just don't sleep with Sam.

What if Dean's not telling Sam (he perhaps could have convinced him to do things Dean's way, he often does, like in Sacrifice), and not telling Cas, even, even though Cas was likely to be understanding - what if it's partially because Dean doesn't feel he deserves to have a happy ending?

I've been uncomfortable about about how the Batcave was too much to give the boys and still expect the series premise to remain stable and the boys to remain stable. Perhaps, being given something that big, the same way Sam retreated into himself and didn't quite take it (room etc), perhaps Dean needed it to be less good in order to be able to - IDK, exist in it?

He always said he wasn't gonna ever get an ending like that - gonna die young and that. And then he accepted it really well, enjoying it all - perhaps that was only while he didn't expect it to last? And as soon as he realized they did live there, and he had Sam, and they had a way in which Sam could perhaps enjoy the life while also not giving up his scholarly tendencies, and Cas was around, and even Kevin and Charlie were there a bit - family(ish) - perhaps that was simply too much - too foreign? And trouble, and having to worry about Sam and the supernatural, and even being horrible guilty - were at least something he knew how to deal with?

Probably, had he lost Sam, it would have been a whole lot like being with Lisa - and he couldn't go through that again... but still, he could have made it less of a problem, I believe.

( And an unrelated Wincesty quote from 910 )

"thousands of superpowered dicks touching down, and we got no idea where to start"





Where's my slightly inappropriate, possibly sexist or homophobic or incredibly slashy Dean response ? Are we done with those? :/
Or just:

You're gonna need a bigger mouth.

(ok, now I feel dirty)
(gifs not by me, linking back to where I found them)

I'd been saying I need a first time Sam/Dean for every time they didn't kiss, every time they looked at each other in one o those ways, every time I was somehow surprised when a scene ended with the subtext still only subtexty.

Today I was listening to fic, Dean angsting about Sam being his brother, and found myself thinking "Sheesh, dude, we know. Get over it". Perhaps I'm getting closer to closing that initial quota :-)
