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.
#interesting#I personally see Dean as Mary and Sam as John#(with the caveat that Dean does want so badly to be daddy’s little soldier but he just isn’t him naturally so he overcompensates and…#…is thus early canon daddy’s blunt little instrument instead)#(and with Sam butting heads with John so much in early canon because they are alike)#but I absolutely agree with the second post#supernatural#dean winchester#sam winchester#the winchesters#john winchester#@john you fucked up a perfectly good pair of brothers meme#thoughts in tag
