Today I decided to try to watch Supernatural from a totally unbiased non-Wincesty perspective.

I was about two minutes in before I was bouncing in my seat all OMG THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. And you know I wouldn't have lasted that long but for the teasery bit at the start.

I just can't do it. Though, possibly 'Playthings' wasn't the best episode to try this with.

This prompted a conversation with my sister (who is a 'normal person' whose brain isn't warped by fandom) on whether or not there is actually an episode of Supernatural that you could watch and not be smote by the brother love.

She said The Usual Suspects, but even though they are physically seperate, their brains are so joined by the love that they figure out anagrams at the same time. And Steve McQueen, come on! And I said Route 666 but then there's that scene where Sam is totally getting off on watching Dean and Cassie together. Even in No Exit Sam is all making bitchface at Jo like OMGZ, keep away from my boy.

So, I don't know. I don't know if my brain is capable of not slashing Sam and Dean, or if maybe they're just not capable of slashing themselves. (Does that even make sense?)

I'm starting to feel like the sub-text isn't so much sub as actual-text lately. And it is AWESOME!

Are we so sure there is a time when they're not actually or potentially doing each other? Because I see no proof that they're not.

The J2 is killing me, I swear.

OMG I SO MUCH WANT TO READ YOUR CRAZY REPLY!!!

READY?



i was saying that it's on the brink, really. with the groundwork that's been quietly and violently laying itself, they could take it all the way without dragging everyone ooc or otherwise hopping on the express train to wtfville. imagine the show ending in its fifth season with something very deliberate, understated but unmistakeably incestuous. i don't know if network tv would even legally allow such a portrayal - and i can't imagine the controversy that would explode over it, yet - but i kind of like the idea of the show's creators being... insane and ballsy and devilish, like that.

and, uh, i think i'll shut up now and hope all of fandom doesn't lock me up and throw the key away for being so RABID. i'm not, i swear. i'm even capable of seeing non!cest on this show, i just. have a forceful imagination? yeah. :D

But you're so incredibly RIGHT! I was thinking earlier about how it's heading that way and what they could possibly do to get the wincest actually on air. Well, more than it is now, with kissing and groping and stuff. More groping, I should say. And sex.

Because it totally wouldn't be OOC. I honestly can't see how anyone can watch this show and not see the wincest. But I can't see how they'd get away with it without it being evil!Sam taking advantage of Dean or something. (Which would still be awesome, but would seem more OOC for me than actual brother love.)

yeah, the sex thing, Dean would be absolutely NO NO NO. but a kiss? perhaps an angsty PARTING KISS in midst of hellfire (okay, i need to lay off the brie) and horror? i don't know, fic writers would be able to come up with something suitably dignified and consensual...

although Dean could totally get whammied by some kind of lecherous demon and have GRAPHIC SEX DREAMS about him and Sam. would the show be able to get away with that? I WANT TO SAY YES.

OMG, Sam could have SEX VISIONS about Dean!!!

[22by7.livejournal.com]

OMFG YES. and he'd think they were from the Demon and go 'wtf this is a NEW LOW even for that jaundiced bastard' and spend a week investigating on his own before being forced to accept that his hormones and uberly suppressed-repressed emotions cooked that shit up all by themselves?

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yes! That is perfect! And during that week Sam will be all cagey and like OMG I HAVE TO STOP MYSELF FROM HAVING SEX WITH DEAN and that will just make him want to have sex with Dean MORE!
