Best RPF Ship - Round 3 Match 2

you know how, when dean finds out about adam and how john took him to baseball games, he's so incredibly, visibly devastated? first of all, I love that shit. second of all, dean looks like he just found out he was being cheated on by his spouse. adam is the son john had with another woman and dean can't handle it because john already had HIM and THEIR KID (sam). I would appreciate being killed thank you so much.

you know what. we need to talk more about how john views dean as an extension of himself and sam as an extension of mary.

I also want to talk about how this impacted how dean views himself, how he views sam and how he views their relationship. he is clearly so attached to the concept of living (and dying) to protect sam and I think yes, that's partially because he loves sam, but it's also because that's the first job that's ever assigned to him by john - keep sammy safe.

I want you to know that I am sighing the weariest sigh as I type this, but we need to talk about how Dean's relationship with John is symbolic of a religious man's relationship with God.

Dean treats John's orders like commandments and follows them without question. When John isn't physically present to give orders, Dean treats his journal like the Bible. The voicemails Dean leaves on John's phone are prayers. In 1.09, he leaves a message saying: "I know I've left you messages before. I don't even know if you get them. [...] but I don't know what to do. So whatever you're doing, if you could get here... Please." So not only is he praying, his prayers are going unanswered. He's starting to question his faith, starting to feel alone.

But the moment Dean truly and completely loses faith in John is in 2.01 when he tells Dean he needs to be prepared to kill Sam. This is the first order from John that Dean refuses to follow, and I think it clearly marks the end of Dean defining himself by his devotion to John and the beginning of Dean defining himself by his devotion to Sam.

What's really interesting about this change is that Dean does not replace John with Sam (he does not look to Sam for orders or guidance for example) but instead tries to become what John was to him for Sam. While Sam wants an equal partnership, Dean can only accept a relationship where one person has complete authority (not unlike God). For Dean, this authority is first exercised by deciding not to kill Sam and later by making the same deal as John to bring Sam back from the dead.

Anyway.

reminder sam dug the samulet out of that trash can and carried it with him for 6 years.

Sam's so understanding and obviously basing everything on personal experience and I want to cry
