I know right? THEY'RE SO AMAZING! Who's your favorite?

Between the gifs or in the show? Because I'm not sure I could pick a favorite from TFW...

It's pretty hard for me too... Do you have a favorite from either one?

The little Dean gif is adorable.
From the show? Mmmmm... too hard. I love Cas's story arcs, and I love Dean's humor, and I love Sam and Dean's relationship, but then I love Cas and Dean's bromance--I just love them all!
...Okay, maybe a liiiittle less love for Sammy, but only because of all the times I've sat there going "damnit, Sammy" when he goes off the rails and does something dumb. But I still love that Moose.
What about you?

Honestly, I feel pretty much the same way. When I first started watching, I kind of felt, "Ok, Sammy is more my type," but within two episodes, Dean had won me over with his wit and pure determination to keep his family together. I mean, I still love Sam, but Dean is just amazing! Then, when I started Season 4, Cas became one of my favorite characters purely because of his ability to be be awe-inspiring one moment and not understand cell phones the next

Aw, I always was on Cas's side because he's only trying to do what's right! Admittedly, he gets tricked an awful, awful lot and ends up making things worse, but damnit his heart's always in the right place. And yes, I love the range on that character--he's so awesome and clueless sometimes.
Sammy just makes me so mad sometimes, I wanna shake him (except no I wouldn't, he is a Moose, I'd try to shake him and he'd just look at me like whatreyadoindownthere--but I digress). Like when we got to see Sam's heaven compared to Dean's--Sam can be such a blockhead! Even in this last season I wanted him to quit keeping things from Dean and quit beating himself up over the freaking demon blood and feeling "unclean." I mean I know it's like, hardwired into his psyche now, but I just wanted him to quit it. *harrumph*

Yeah, I mean there was always a part of me that was on Cas's side but sometimes I just wanted to throttle him because of some really stupid decisions, but I couldn't stay mad at him for long~! I'm just floored by the depth of emotions Cas shows, especially since that must be a challenge for Misha since angels aren't really supposed to feel anything.Β
I actually liked Sammy better in the first two seasons. Season 3 and 4 he started going crazy, and after that he kept angsting. He just likes to angst. A lot. But I still like him. He just needs to move on. THat's part of the reason I like Dean better: he cares too much about others to share his pain, and knows that there are more important things to be done. I feel like the relationship between the boys deteriorated around season 3/season 4, but at the same time we got the amazing dynamics between Dean and Cas.

Haha, yeah, but even for an angel Cas is still pretty clueless. I like the fact they could make him the butt of so many jokes, but he still comes off as such a deep character. He better stick around--this show wouldn't be the same without him, now.
I feel ya on Sammy's angsting. Like last season, with Amelia. WTF was that all about? He didn't even *try* to look for Dean? What was so special about her anyway, she was kind of nasal and obnoxious... and she forced a dog on him. Actually, Sammy just has horrible taste in women in general.
I do kind of wish Sam and Dean's relationship could go back to some of those more innocent times, but I'm hoping it's heading that direction where they can just trust each other again. I mean, the last few scenes of season 8? I was freaking crying. Or when Sam took his body back from Lucifer and was just having his life with Dean flash before his eyes. Their relationship really is just the core of this show. I wish certain writers would remember that *grumblegrumble*
But yes, Cas and Dean's "profound bond" is freakin' beautiful. It really is like they got another brother.
Now, if I can just get them all to HUG IT OUT, I'll be a happy camper.

Yup, that's what makes Cas so amazing: the fact that he's SUPPOSED to be one-dimensional, but with the simplicity of not understanding, he becomes so much more. Honestly, at first I never liked the idea of the boys having someone traveling around with them, but Cas was just too amazing to hate.
Yeah, I mean, I heard the writers thought Sammy would be the one everyone loved and sympathized with, but all that's done is make him seem like a teenager who does nothing but angst (No offense to teens, I'm one myself...). I think that if the writers would spend a little more effort on showing us that Sam deserves our sympathy rather than just shoving it in our face and say here. Feel sorry for him," it would be much better. I mean, even in the 1st season with Jess, I felt bad because his girlfriend died, but I really didn't connect to Sammy as emotionally because the writers LITERALLY GAVE US NOTHING ABOUT HER! After that, most of Sam's dates were annoying or evil. Not great choices. But did you notice that most of the people Sam gets with end up DYING?
I agree. The whole show is built on the bond between Sam and Dean. I mean, one of the most chilling episodes for me was "What Is and What Should Never Be" when we realize that Sam and Dean don't talk. But, thankfully, the writers seem to be understanding that we need our brothers back. The ones who put each other before everything else. Personally, I ship Destiel, and I feel like they all need to sort out their issues and be a big, happy, screwed-up, demon-hunting family again.

Yeah, I don't understand why the writers keep making it aaaall about Sammy and Dean has to just keep pushing down his feelings and carrying his doofy "little" brother. Damnit, it's Sammy's turn to be supportive! I mean even after Dean got back from hell, Sam was too busy sluttin' around with that demon to really be there for him.
Jess was pretty much a plot device, yeah. I wish SPN wouldn't do that with its female characters so much, but whatever. I could forgive it as a starting point. But I was honestly surprised when Sam brought Jess back up in season 8. Like, that was years ago and she was a college girlfriend. It sucked, it will always suck, but we as the viewers have almost forgotten her because, like you said, we have almost nothing to go on.
All right, I do feel sorry for the guy, but the sympathy vanishes when he uses this as an excuse to keep pushing people away and making the wrong decisions. Also, I mean, it's not like anyone got a great deal out of this. So he didn't get a "normal" life. Boo-hoo. We're nine seasons in--get OVER it, Sammy! Because we all know you'll choose Dean! That's just how it is.
But oh man, SPN and killing off the ladies. It's freakin' tragic. I mean they killed off Jo and Ellen and freaking GARTH is still around? That guy cannot die fast enough in my view.
I don't ship Destiel because I see it as a platonic love, but I can see where people can get that impression. Well, also I didn't ship it because I think Megstiel was the cutest freaking thing ever (and now I miss her).

Yup. Dean is actually one of the most underrated characters I have ever seen. Heck, he's so underrated, they don't even consider him underrated. There was some poll for "Character Most in Need of a Storyline" and who won? Cas. Now, I love that dopey angel, but Dean has not really had an to himself. Even Season 3 was full of Ruby, Bela, and Angsty Sam. Yeah, it seems like the writers have thrown logic to the wind when writing Sam, and excusing it with 'his life sucks.' Newsflash: so do the lives of pretty much every other character in the show. What's interesting to me is that the writers expect us to like Sammy because he had a tough life, but Gordon, who also had it hard, was a hated character. I didn't like the character of Gordon much: he was a crazy, psychopathic fool on a bloodlust frenzy, but that's exactly what Sammy becomes by the end of the 4th season. Sam also never seems to think about others. I mean really? Do you really think that Dean never wanted an Apple-pie life? At several points in the series we see Dean's one dream is to have Mary alive again. He's lost so much, but he doesn't bring it up, while Sam seems to whine about everything.
That being said, I still like Sam because Jared is talented enough to play a whiny character and somehow make him likable.
I think the death I was saddest about was Ellen's. Β mean, she was such an amazing character, so much depth and layers. I think the reason we can't keep a female character for more than 5 episodes is because of the fandom, actually. We haven't been very receptive to female characters as a whole.
I respect that decision. I, personally, see it as more of a romantic bond, but that's just my perception. Megstiel is cute, and I can handle the ship, but my issue with it was that the premise was a bit overused. One of the boys falls in love with a demon? *coughseason4and4anyone?cough* I thought they handled it well, though and I miss Meg, too. I think that Cas and Dean have a more complex and romantic relationship, which accounts for my Destiel shipping.Β

Yeah, I agree on most of those points. Dean really does need more focus. I think one of the most redeeming things about Sam is, in fact, Dean--just the two of them together. When he was Soulless!Sam, not only was that was creepy as hell, but it also really pinpointed that the only thing keeping that doofey Moose human is his brother.
Aw, I dunno if it's the fandom that kills off the female characters or the fact that the writers don't seem to know what to do with them other than shove them into refrigerators*. They're mostly being used to advance the plot of the boys, which is just no way to treat a character. Based on who's writing the episode, we get more or less of a developed character; what most people I think have objected to is the fact most of these women are so one-dimensional. Because that's all they need to be for the episode, or to get the boys upset about their death, or whatever. That's part of why I have SOME hope for Charlie (she's a liiiiittle Mary-Sue, but I can deal with it)--she can't get chucked under the bus with all the other love interests, and she's too young to be a mother-figure. Those two types have the shortest shelf-life on Supernatural. The longest: villains. So it's no wonder we dislike the women when all we're given are either short segments of their personality or they're being actively evil. (There are notable exceptions, of course: Kali was kind of both those things, but I think she was a strong enough character to come through it anyway; Sheriff Mills partly acted as an antagonist in the episode where she was introduced; Meg grew on me big time).
Like I said, I can get shipping Destiel. I think what I liked about Meg and Cas, though, was it didn't feel like we'd seen it before. With Sam, he knew he was doing something wrong, she was clearly using him, and he was being led down a path of wickedness. With Cas, it wasn't really physical and it grew fairly naturally when she was taking care of him. I didn't trust her one little bit when she decided to stick around with him in the hospital, but she never actually took advantage of the situation. She'd found a cause and she served it. Now absolutely she was looking out for herself in trying to get Smitey McSmiterson to be an angel on her shoulder, but there seemed to be some genuine affection there that didn't feel superficial or forced. She was still abrasive and cranky and very much evil in most ways, but it didn't feel like she was using him like Ruby was using Sam. Although I will say, I don't know why the writers kept basically forgetting ALL about her. Like, she disappeared for a year and none of these jerks even looked for her?! I don't know, I just thought it was a very organic relationship, and maybe one of the healthiest we had in the show. Cas and Meg were good for each other. *sniffle* But they can bring her back, right? It's Supernatural!
*reference to the Women in Refrigerators trope

Yeah, Β like I said, the whole show is about two brothers trying to do some good in their lives. I mean, would Sam have been anything like he is without Dean? Would he have gone to college and had a chance to experience life if he hadn't had love and support from his brother which his father never gave him? And vice versa. Dean's love and responsibility for his little brother is what kept him going all this time.
I agree. Female villains don't even tend to be that good, though. I mean, people still love Lucifer, but I've never seen a lot of appreciation for the female villains because they're never really given a personality. For most of them, it's like "Oh, here's a chick who drinks the blood of infants and is a slut."
While I'm not really a fan of Megstiel, I can understand your viewpoint. There seemed to be some real connection between the two, but I think that the whole Ruby/Sam storyline turned most people off to the idea of a good demon. However, there are a lot of cute moments between them. Personally, I feel like Cas will always choose Dean (not necessarily in a romantic way) because Dean is the one who helped him start feeling. Even if people don't see them as a romantic pair, I think, for Cas, it will always be Dean, Sam, then everyone else.

Yeah, Cas does have that habit of tuning out the suffering other people. There was that episode in season 8, when Cas went to Dean and asked for help in finding Samandriel. Until that point Cas had been trying to do penance by healing people. They visit this poor guy in the hospital who's burned over his whole face and most of his body from the burning bush. They get the info they need out of the guy... and just leave. I was sitting here going, "Hey! Aren't you going to help that guy?!" I think Cas is just rather myopic for the most part--it's not that he doesn't care, or he wouldn't help. He can only focus on a few things at a time. And the Winchesters are really demanding. So while I agree he puts them first, I think a lot of it's about who's in his immediate presence.

Cas doesn't understand human emotions that well. He tries as hard as he can, but he never gets it really. He sort of just has emotions in the moment. However, I think that that's part of the reason why many of us ship Dean and Cas: he's always come back to and cared for him and Sam. Of course, that's just my personal interpretation.
