the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .
for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

Sam didn’t choose Ruby over Dean he chose death over living in a world where Dean hated him.
Dean was supposed to think Sam chose Ruby over him because that’s central to their conflict in season five. Dean believes this because he has incomplete information.
Dean doesn’t know about the voicemail.
Dean doesn’t know Sam thought he would die killing Lilith.
Dean didn’t understand that Sam thinking he was weak wasn’t derogatory but rather the fear that his love for Sam would get him killed again.
None of this is to say Sam was completely altruistic but when the hell is anyone ever?
The show did take some measures to make us believe Sam was going down a truly dark path but you’re not actually supposed to think that at the end. Kripke even joked about it through Chuck; “I thought it would make you unsympathetic.”
In short, stop being mean to my baby Sam.

When Everything Everywhere All at Once said “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don’t know what’s going on" 
When the Good Place said “Why choose to be good every day when there is no guaranteed reward now or in the afterlife… I argue that we choose to be good because of our bonds with other people and our innate desire to treat them with dignity. Simply put, we are not in this alone.” 
When Jean-Paul Sartre said ”‘Hell is other people’ is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also ‘Heaven is each other’. Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings.“

A Post for Sam
We always have a choice
You don’t get a vote in this.
I didn’t.
What?
You’re not the Devil.
I didn’t end bad when I was the “freak,”
I’d get these visions sometimes…I could move things with my mind.
When I was drinking demon blood.
That didn’t make me the Devil.
Come on, man, that’s totally different.
Was it? Because you could’ve put a bullet in me.
Do you even know how far off the reservation you’ve gone?
Dad told you to put a bullet in me,
If I didn’t know you, I’d wanna hunt you.
Last I checked we don’t give up on family.
You saved me.
It doesn’t matter what you are.
And I tried so hard to pretend…
I know how you feel about the kid
It only matters what you do
Help me save him.
I realized the road to revenge is a dark and lonely one
You deserved to be saved.
Does any of this feel right to you?
I know it doesn’t feel like it right now,
We have to do this, it’s in the book
But he’s not like you
You’re gonna be alright
That’s not what I meant
We don’t have a choice .
I didn’t always like it, you know.
What I’m saying is
 I don’t feel free.

Sam Week 2025: Day 5 - favourite Sam arc / Sam & music / psychic powers
I'm SO happy how this one came out! I think it's my favourite so far :D I feel it's really nailed the tactic I wanted to take of these prompts of coming at the a little sideways/not the first thing you'd think of. Shout out to @aliusfrater - for always helping fuel my Soulless Sam fascination/obsession - and also inadvertently inspiring this fic by including the quote below in an ask response about "favourite Soulless Sam lines".

"Dean, I am still me – same melon, same memories. I-I still like the same music. I still think about Suzie Heizer . . ."
Creed - With Arms Wide Open
Sue Heizer. “Biology class”, Sue Heizer. Weirdest possible way you could have remembered that, by the way, you hadn’t been in school in years. Front seat of her car. Volkswagen Jetta. You and Dad loved to gripe about “modern cars”. Some things don’t change. My hands were fumbling with her tits, and hers were in my hair and this ring she was wearing kept getting caught in it. And it was the hottest thing that had ever happened to me. Seventeen, ten times more hormones than experience. More than made up for that this last year. I tried to flip us so she was on top, and my foot hit the radio dial. Turns out the very last song you want to hear whilst finally getting to fuck the girl you’ve been mooning over for weeks is one about finding out you’re gonna be a dad. I had to endure that song for the next three weeks, it was at Number 1. I hated it then, and I hate it now. I can’t feel embarrassed anymore - I just think it's cheesy. This was a bad place to start. Let’s try again.

Digging in the Dirt - Peter Gabriel
Flagstaff. I bought a week’s supply of junk food. Last five dollars from the money Dad gave me to live on two hunts back. The one where dad sent you back after three days while he went lone wolf and you bitched about it every hour of every day until he got home. Funny how fast you shut up the second he walked in the door. You had cash on you, so we used that for food instead, and I squirrelled the note away. And waited. I don’t know why Flagstaff. Actually, I do. You were hogging the TV and wouldn’t let me watch anything I wanted to, and I got fed up, and grabbed the remote while you were in the kitchen, and wouldn’t give it back. And you hit me. It wasn’t the first time, but I didn’t think it was normal yet. The kid at the register in the 7-Eleven was singing along, and he gave me an extra bag of Funyons. Before heaven, I’d hear it and feel free. After, it made me want to vomit. Now? I like it again. Must be all that emotional growth I’m not having.

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
Bus to Stanford. It stopped for an hour somewhere in Nebraska. Everyone else got off to stretch their legs, use the bathroom, grab a shitty reststop sandwich. I stayed. It was like I was afraid that if I stepped off before we got there, everything might disintegrate; it all felt so fragile. Stupid way to think. The bus driver came back from their smoke break. I remember she smoked the same brand as Dad, the smell, it was the closest I ever came to turning back. She saw me in the mirror. “Mind if I put the radio on, honey?” I knew I was doing the right thing, really knew, for the first time. I used to do that, second-guess things that were blatantly fucking obvious. Guess having a soul really slows you down. It always made me feel strong. Stevie’s voice is still beautiful.

The Captain and the Hourglass - Laura Marling
You were dead. You were dead, and I was in the car with Ruby. And I had that laser focus that you always found unnerving, although that wasn’t the way you said it, “Sammy’s an obsessive freak” were the exact words. And still, I decided to take the time to put an iPod jack in the car. I’m still like that. Moreso. Sammy got so scared of his own melon, he started agreeing with you on the freak part. I was in the car with Ruby, and she told me she was impressed at how quickly I was learning my powers. And she made me feel in control of myself in a way I never had before. And completely at her mercy. We stopped by the side of the road, and the song came on, and she opened up and vein in the top of her thigh, didn’t give me the option of anywhere else. I always felt kinda felt like running when I heard it again, even though I loved the song. I could never quite place why. I can now. Lack of a soul gives you a strange kind of clarity about a lot of things. You should try it sometime. “He's done with all this bullshit, he's going back to war” means something different now.

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin (kinda)
First gig I ever went to. You and me, and those ridiculous fake IDs. I was so sure we’d get arrested or something, I was fourteen, and the shortest kid in the class, who were we kidding? Should have known you’d found the shittiest, dingiest, divebar in town. Maybe they didn’t care. Probably, they just couldn’t see me through the fog of cigarette smoke. I think they’re still the worst Zeppelin tribute we’ve ever heard, and we’ve probably got some kind of World Record for bad cover bands by now. They’re like roaches, everywhere, and hard to kill. It was the last song of the night and, somehow, barely recognisable. And you turned to me, and you were so mad that they were butchering your favourite song. But the music was so bad, and your face just looked so cartoonishly angry, and I laughed, and then you were laughing, and we couldn’t stop. It doesn’t seem funny when I think of it now, but I remember feeling it. Dad couldn’t play it in the car for months after without one or both of us corpsing, and we couldn’t tell him why. Our own private little joke. I think you forgot about it eventually, but I never did. I didn’t think it was possible to hear it and not feel that asinine, childish joy. Still love that guitar solo.

Sorrow - The National
The song playing in my ears on the way to die. For once, you didn’t complain about me using headphones to listen to my own music in the car. You’d given me this big speech about how I wasn’t a kid anymore, you had to learn to let me go my own way. Guess this was part of that. Didn’t last, did it?

Batfam + References to being family (Part 24)
Part 23
In Batman: Gotham Knights #10, Hugo Strange clocks Dick, Bruce and Tim's family dynamic before either of them does: "But that you [Dick] loves him [Bruce]. That you're the loyal son who has never been allowed to truly help, never permitted to save him from himself."
Tumblr media
"Are you as devoted to the well-being of your little brother?"
Tumblr media
Batman #141: “You look well, Richard. Much better than your father.”
Tumblr media
In Batman #147, Tim tells Bruce: “You’ve already saved us. We’re your family.”
To which Bruce replies: “I don’t want to do this alone. Not anymore. I need my family.”
Tumblr media
In Batman #148, Tim tries to rescue Damian and calls him “everyone’s favorite bratty little brother.”
Tumblr media
In the same issue, there are a few other key batfam moments:

Jason asks Bruce to trust him with a plan to fake his death: “We’re a team. We’re family.”
Tumblr media
Which leads to the panels below, where they put the plan in action:
