I mean, guys like us, we’re not exactly the type of people they write about in history books, you know? But the people we saved, they’re our legacy, and they’ll remember us, and we’ll eventually fade away, too. That’s fine, because we left the world better than we found it – Sam Winchester, Supernatural.
Ah. The eternal struggle continues. This fight has been raging for years and honestly? This isn’t the hill I want to die on. I don’t care enough about the subject. But I say he is. Blond hair darkens as you get older (unless you dye the shit out of it like some people do. namely me.) My husband was blond and now it’s much darker but he still says it’s blond so. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Jared finally gets his rim shot and the panel becomes one big innuendo.
You know that scene in the pilot when Sam and Dean are trying to figure out what happened to Troy and the other missing men, and they go up to the girl who’s putting up fliers? And they tell her they knew Troy, and Dean says, “We’re his uncles. I’m Dean, this is Sammy.”
And then later there’s this scene:
And the way Dean has his arm around Sam has always gotten to me because they just look so much like a couple that it’s ridiculous. Like, okay, I get it, he’s showing them that he’s this chill, laid-back kind of guy who just wants to find his missing nephew, that he’s not a threat. Whatever. But I always chalked it up to my wincest brain just reading into things.
And then it hit me: THEY NEVER ACTUAL STATED THAT THEY WERE BROTHERS. Dean just said “we’re his uncles.” He didn’t say, “I’m Dean, this is my brother Sam,” which is how he usually introduces them if they’re not pretending to be FBI or some other pair that wouldn’t be related.
I don’t know about you, but if two guys came up to me, told me they were my missing boyfriend’s uncles, and then proceeded to sit in a booth together looking like this? I would assume they were married, not brothers. Because you don’t usually call your parent’s sibling your aunt/uncle and their spouse “their spouse.” You say “this is my aunt and uncle,” or “these are my uncles/aunts.” Or at least I do.
So I don’t know if this was done intentionally by the writers, or by Jared and Jensen, or if it’s just due to Sam and Dean being way closer than most siblings, but yeah. Sam and Dean are often mistaken for a gay couple, and it’s no wonder. Jesus, guys, this is the fucking pilot. And you wonder why we ship it.
