I’m having a hard time to keep liking Sam, and that’s a hard thing to say about a character you used to love. I’ve been struggling with this for all of s8, the way he abandoned Dean to Purgatory, and then his attitude all year. Self righteous, selfish, acting pissed off whenever Dean called him out on it. And basically threatening Dean into silence by pretending he’d just leave him again if Dean wasn’t suitably chastised enough. I’ll freely admit I’m a Dean girl, I tried connecting to Sam from the start, but somehow, it just never worked. I mean, I may be a nerd, but that doesn’t mean that characters like Chloe (Smallville), Stiles (Teen Wolf) or Willow (btvs) have to appeal to me. Quite the contrary.
In reality, Dean’s more of a nerd than Sam is, Sam’s just more open about the book stuff, whereas Dean is the geek who’s hiding his love for all things nerdy*g*.
Sam might have the long hair, but Dean is the one more involved with stereotypical girly things, no matter how much he likes to put on the facade of being all ‘manly’. I think it’s his similarity to Spike that made me fall for the character.
And yet despite that, for seven seasons, I was only a step away from being bi bro. Dean might have been my fave, but Sam was right there on second place. (yes a girl can love both brothers and not be into wincest)
It’s just that this season, season eight, he just didn’t feel like Sam to me. It’s like he no longer cared about Dean. And the more the show tried to tell me how great Sam was, the more I started to dislike him. (the same kinda happened to me with Angel on his own show. the more you tell me how great a character is, the lower my tolerance of them tends to get, especially when those claims of their greatness and their actions onscreen don’t match up. )
I know they started trying to make Sam more likable again in the second half of s8, but somehow it felt too little too late. Especially since he still never apologized for his attitude at the start of the season. Whereas Dean was made to apologize to him over and over and over.
And what annoyed me most is that that attitude, the way he behaved matched the way Sam is often described by Sam bashers and I hate to see people like that proven right in any way whatsoever. Because that selfish, immature, manipulative little boy that the show gave us this season is NOT the Sam I came to love in the first seven years of the show.
Thanks to that, Sam has dropped down on my favorite SPN characters list. And that should never have happened.
Sam used to be on number two, but he’s fallen so low that right now it reads:
Dean Victor Henriksen Benny Charlie Kevin Ruby Castiel Sam
See the problem here? Sam should never be that low, but unless they give him a major attitude adjustment in s9, I’m terrified it’s going to stay that way. And I really really don’t want that.
I want to love Sam, even just for Dean’s sake. Just like I wanted to love Dawn on BTVS for Spike and Buffy’s sake.Just like I love the Impala because Dean loves her.
And I can’t even find fanfic to help me bring back my love for Sam, because most Sam fans have only been writing ‘oh Sam really was suffering and it wasn’t his fault’ fic, instead of ‘Sam realizes what he did wrong and makes up for it’ fics that I need to read to get over these feelings… Tags: rants, sam winchester, supernatural

k, I suck at sticking to deadlines, so the spn/in the fesh fusion/crossover I’ve been writing won’t be finished on time to be a part of the spn_cross big bang. Doesn’t mean I’m going to stop writing it. Since I had such a hard time getting the Winchesters in Britain, I figured, why not write the bunny that kept invading my mind. AKA what if Dean killed himself after Sam left for Stanford, and then came back during the Rising. And now Dean’s coming home and John has to go pick him up, and is totally unsure what to tell Sam, or even if he should tell Sam, or keep quiet and kill Dean because Dean isn’t human anymore/is a monster now/…. And Sam is blaming himself, even though he really shouldn’t. (there was some monster involved in the suicide, but the Winchesters don’t know that yet. And Dean loves his Dad and hates what he is. And really misses his little brother and… uhm anyway, this is a pic of what Dean would look like as a PDS sufferer, so uhm, hoping someone at least will like it.  ((Anyone got any tips on how to make it so Dean fits better in the background? I'm not entirely used yet to my new Photoshop))

There's times I think that I'm a bad fan.
I don't like Ten, I loved Eight, Nine and Eleven, and I like what little I've seen of the previous Doctors. But I don't like Ten. And though I like Rose, loved her with Nine, but I really didn't like her with Ten...
I loved Torchwood, but Ianto bored the hell out of me.
I love Teen Wolf, but I can't stand Sterek. Stiles bores me, I hate Jackson, and I really wish there was more fanfic focusing on Scott whom I love.
I hated Firefly, tried to watch Sherlock, but I by far prefer Elementary..
I don't think that Supernatural is sexist.
I'm a big Grimm fan, but I only like Renard when he isn't being mister mysterious and is just the helpful decent police captain persona. Even if it isn't entirely his full personality.
The Ghostfacers on Supernatural annoy me ever single second they're on screen. I hate 'relatable' losers.
Dan Slott sucks and has no clue how to write Spider-Man.
I also by far prefer the original three Spider-Man movies, even if they did have their flaws, over the new one with Gwen 'i'm so boring they had to kill me to make me interesting' Stacy.
I can't stand Loki. I think he's an annoying brat who has no ground to stand on. And no, finding out you're adopted is no excuse for trying to kill millions of people.At least Thor learned from his mistakes, Loki just decided to make bigger ones.
I love Captain America, and I'm not even American. I just love good decent people being true heroes. And no, characters like that don't have to be boring, not if they're written right.
I far prefer sci fi on earth, over sci fi in alien environments, it's an odd thing I have.
I don't hate Castiel, I think he goes well enough with Dean, but I'm not in love with the character and I could do without him if I have to. I actually like Dean/Benny much better and think that Benny is a more interesting and more likable character. Plus he has more chemistry with Dean in their first scene together, than Dean and Cas had in all the seasons that Castiel has been on the show.
I don't care about Castiel's feelings, I just don't.
Season eight of SPN is at high risk of making me lose all interest in Sam. And the more I see fics trying to tell me Sam really was this big hero, or that try and go all 'Sam did bring Dean back', the less I like him. Because they all ignore the reality that Sam didn't look for Dean and acted annoyed that Dean was back.And yes, Dean did have every right to be pissed off about this.
I can't stand Willow on BtVS. She's annoying, cutesy and passive aggressive.
I prefer Duncan MacLeod over Methos, so sue me...
I hate that so many people take Dumbledore's statement over Harry being the Master of Death literal. It's ruined 90% of SPN/Harry Potter crossovers for me.
I want Dexter to end with Dexter getting arrested, preferably after Deb turns him in.And I'd be even happier if the Miami PD finds out the truth about him midway through the last season, so we get at least a few episodes with people reacting to finding out he's a serial killer. With the series ending with him as the final antagonist that needs to be taken down.
I'm not a Glee fan, the music's cool enough, but I have no interest in the characters
I also don't like how much Avengers fandom is into Coulson. It's not even that I hate the guy, it's just that I barely even noticed him, yet fandom seems to focus on him over loads of far more interesting characters.
I also wish that they'd used Carol Danvers aka Ms Marvel aka Captain Marvel for the part that was given to Coulson. At least then Avengers would have been less of a sausage fest.
So I'm guessing, looking at my previous experiences in fandom, people are probably going to love Defiance, there will be loads of fanfic and fanart about it and no matter how much I'll try to ignore it, half my friendlist on lj will start squeeing about it and I'll be sitting by the side wondering how they even got through the first episode...
