I’m so unsettled by this and as a hardcore wincest shipper this has really shaken me so maybe you can help me regain my faith? Why didn’t Sam look for Dean when he was stuck in purgatory? I get that maybe he thought he was Dean or somewhere else but still? Please bring me some hope and light!

I actually have a theory about this. (Big surprise, huh? I have a theory about literally everything.) 

Please keep in mind that Sam had lived without Dean twice before, once for the 6 months in Mystery Spot and once when Dean was in hell. Both times, Sam drove himself half-insane and went off the rails to save his brother. In Mystery Spot, he was willing to kill someone who could have been Bobby if it meant he could bring Dean back to life. When Dean was in hell, he tried to make a deal, tried to do anything he could to rescue him. When he that didn’t work, he started destroying himself to get revenge on Lilith. 

That brings us to season 8. Dean was gone again but this time Sam had no one to help him, no one he could play “let’s make a deal” with, no one to turn to. No Bobby, no Cas, not even Ruby. 

I think all Sam wanted to do right then was curl up and die. It’s possible he was suicidal when he hit that dog. Hitting the dog and meeting Amelia ended up being a lifeline to a drowning man. Amelia had just lost her husband and seemed to feel the same way. So they clung to each other until Don came back to life and then Dean came back to life. (ha! Don…Dean… I just noticed how much alike those names are. PARALLELS.) Then they went back to their other lives. Although apparently Dean was more important to Sam than Don was to Amelia because she was willing to leave him for Sam. 

My point is that I kept thinking they were going to explicitly state that Sam had been depressed and hadn’t wanted to go on living, but they never did. The closest we got was when the boys were talking to Brick Holmes’ wife in episode 8×03 Heartache and she was talking about how he died: 

MRS. HOLMES: I don’t think he could bear the thought of life without me. That’s why he drove off that bridge.

Then Sam shoots a furtive glance at Dean and gets very nervous. 

So that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it. Hope that helps, anon!

Friendly reminder- this is one of the earliest blog reviews of Supernatural

“Supernatural” is Supergay by Nathan Exposed (November 7, 2005)

The main concept:

The premise is good. Jared Padalecki plays Sam and Jensen Ackles plays Dean. They are brothers. Every week, a new urban legend randomly starts coming true. The brothers investigate the murder scenes, and solve the mysteries in 1 hour.

It’s like the Hardy Boys, only gayer. The cheese factor is no surprise. This is the WB, afterall. But I love the awkward sexual tension between the brothers.

They drive around this vintage black car. It isn’t particularly impressive, but it does add a bit of sex appeal. So Dean is the super control freak “top”. He has to be driving at all times. I think there was a scene when Sam tried to drive, and Dean just couldn’t handle that. It’s like taking away his balls.

So Sam rides in the passenger seat. He’s the soft spoken bottom boy, always staring out the window in this deep, dreamy state of mind. No idea what the hell he’s thinking about, but I suspect he is wondering where this relationship is going, and if Dean will ever say “I love you”.

The hidden storyline:

Wait a minute…don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about incest here. See, that’s the backstory. They aren’t really brothers. They are secret lovers, hiding their dirty affair. So they pretend to be brothers so nobody questions why they are together 24/7, why they share a bed, and why they sponge off each other’s back in the shower (okay, I’m being mild here).

AHA! So now we’re getting somewhere. So the secret lovers go on these journeys and solve the crimes. They don’t get paid, I have no idea how they make a living, but we’ll ignore that tidbit.

Throughout the episodes, they give each other hot glances. It’s never part of the dialogue, they just look like they will rip each other’s clothes off at any given moment.

Isn’t it great? Now you have to watch this show. It’s a murder mystery/ghost story with creamy gayness mixed into every episode. It’s on Tuesday nights, 9/8 Central on the WB. And they play an encore on the following Sundays in case you miss it.

UPDATE: On last Tuesday’s episode, “Bugs”, they were mistaken for a gay couple and then pretended to be a gay couple in the next scene. See, I told you they are gay guys pretending to be brothers. You heard it here first.

One scene from The Monster at the End of this Book with captions for the Wincest-impaired. 

Where Chuck is truly an avatar for Kripke, who I’m sure knows this feeling all too well. 

Dean crying for or about Sam by request. 

(All Hell Breaks Loose, parts 1 & 2, Heart, When the Levee Breaks, The End, My Bloody Valentine, Swan Song, Red Meat)

Just seeing how Dean reacts to near-death or actual death scenes between Cas and Sam should show how Destiel isn’t a thing. Whenever Sam dies, he couldn’t move on no matter what he does. He’ll sacrifice just about anything to get Sam back (himself and the world included). But when it’s Cas, he grieves for a bit like with any other friend of theirs and he moves on. He never once bargained for Cas’ life. Sorry new anon here. I just can’t with the irrationality.

You’re absolutely right. When Cas died before, Dean was sad. He grieved and even thought he saw him a couple times after leaving him in purgatory. That’s a common reaction when someone close to you dies- you think you see them. It was a lot like his reaction when Bobby died. Sam and Dean initially didn’t believe Bobby was a ghost because they figured their grief was making them see things that weren’t there. Dean saved Castiel’s trench coat when Cas died and he saved Bobby’s flask when Bobby died. 

But you know what Dean didn’t do when they died? He didn’t sell his soul. He didn’t let some shady doctor kill him or kill himself to try and bargain with a reaper. He didn’t try every spell and every ritual he could think of to bring them back. (In Exile on Main Street, Dean mentions that in spite of his promise to not bring Sam back, he tried everything to save him from the Cage.) 

So yes, there are other people Dean cares about deeply and thinks of as family, but they aren’t on the same level as Sam because he literally can’t go on without him.
