the bitter sam fan drinking game

monkeysatemylastrolo:

clairesncvaks:

pro tip: do it with orange juice or u will Die

take a sip when:

  • something shocking happens that affects both Sam n Dean equally yet only Dean gets a closeup reaction shot
  • Sam spends a scene literally blurred into the background
  • a recurring character who’s close to both boys hugs Dean but not Sam
  • Sam flinches in response to Dean’s behaviour

take two sips when: 

  • Sam is forced to work with someone who hurt him; if no one bothers to ask how he feels about this, down the glass; if the person in question is Lucifer, down the bottle
  • Dean is casually cruel to Sam/dismissive of his suffering (e.g. “’smores foot” etc.)
  • Dean’s shitty actions are justified by the narrative while Sam doing something not nearly comparable is demonised; if Dean’s shitty actions are justified by another character, down the glass
  • a new recurring character is introduced and is closer to Dean than Sam
  • one of Sam’s like five friends fucking dies; if said friend is a woman, down the glass
  • someone makes a rape joke to Sam; if said person is Lucifer, down the glass

down the glass when: 

  • sam is sexually assaulted
  • sam’s agency is violated
  • sam doesn’t stand up for himself even though he really should
  • sam justifies the actions of people who have hurt him

down the bottle when:

  • sam doing something completely normal and healthy to preserve his own physical or mental wellbeing (e.g. going to college) is treated as a betrayal of Dean
  • fandom calls Sam “arrogant” or “selfish” for no reason; if they do this while bending over backwards to defend Dean, smash the bottle over your head and welcome the sweet embrace of unconsciousness,
  • a dean stan says sam is straight

I’m glad I don’t drink, ‘cos this game would kill me.

Tbh, if you pick a really bad ep you might get poisoned even from the orange juice, just sayin’

@gaywitchtwins RE #This is not a GOOD gifset but I wanted Sam´s reaction to what Dean said:

This is a GREAT gifset. And it drives home the point perfectly. The point Dean made by mentioning Thelma and Luise and saying “We just put it in Drive and go”. And that Sam perfectly understood what Dean meant. Your gifset brings this out very clear. Tank you!

You gave me an excuse to go off, sorry-

I’ve seen other gifsets and screenshots of this scene, of course, and as soon as Dean started talking about “matching outfits” I knew, I knew, that this would cause shipping drama. There have been various, very different takes on this, and most of them were concerned with a) what ship this could possibly be about and, of course, b) what Sam’s reactions meant. Frankly, I’m not concerned with a), because what we can extrapolate from b) makes pretty clear that this isn’t what the scene was concerned with.

Davy Perez wrote this episode, and I would argue, based on this other episodes, that he’s a writer often concerned with the subtleness of grief and mental health. It’s a bit of a subjective interpretation, of course, but it’s similarly clear in last season’s Breakdown, where he was dealing with Sam’s, in that season almost entirely not addressed previously, depression and grieving process. (And, of course, setting the scene for Various & Sundry Villains very well.)

Of course, Mint Condition was very clearly about Dean’s mental health. A lot of the structure was very similar to Advanced Thanatology just a season ago – Dean is seen in his room, struggling with is mental health, Sam suggests a ghost hunt, only the two of them go; but then it appears that Dean is dealing better than he did the previous season, because, y’know, Dean literally killed himself in 13.05, but, oh! Oh! There’s still hints all over 14.04 that Dean really isn’t as okay as it seems at first glance, and it comes to head at the end of the episode, when he subtly, inadvertently expresses that he’s Not Actually Okay. That’s not only obvious by the way Dean looks when he says it (although I’m autistic and Very Bad With Expressions, so I won’t fight anyone on the interpretation of facial expressions)

but even if we just consider what he says: he suggests another pair, but it’s not about Halloween anymore – “we just put it in drive and go” is clearly removed from dressing up for Halloween, even if we don’t consider the implications of that statement within the context of the movie.

The following shot of Sam, of course, reinforces that it’s not about matching costumes anymore, but that it is about the ending of the movie and what Dean is implying with it. All the other shots of Sam are annoyed, but fond – the last one is sombre, and followed by a shot of the Impala driving on into the night. 

And, someway, somehow, just like Advanced Thanatology, people have made this obvious theme of Dean being depressed and suicidal about shipping instead.

I can’t get over how beautiful the color palette is in this picture, and how it accentuates Sam. Like, the subtle colors in his shirt perfectly compliment the tones we’re seeing in his face, as well as the colors around him, from the not-quite-white of the walls to the shades of goldenrod and cream we see on the map-table. This is a piece of art, and he’s the center of it. (And why does his skin make me think of flower petals in this picture?! This isn’t fair!)

With bonus human roadkill turned zombie.

Aesthetic.

I’m just having a lot of Sam feels right now … because of the thing with Crowley. Obviously, Lucifer is pissed at Crowley and apparently he thought the most fitting punishment would be

degradation, from collaring and chaining him, to dressing him in unbecoming clothes (a way to further exert total control over him), to keeping locked up yet easily accessible, to calling him “doggie.” (Crowley was also clearly beaten, but that’s not relevant)

So with this new bit of information we’ve learned that apparently this is what Lucifer does to punish his enemies, to people who REALLY piss him off. He dominates, degrades, and humiliates them.

And what would piss Lucifer off more than Sam taking back control, and then throwing him back into the cage?

God … poor Sam …

Sam/Patrick Carroll ‘Verse Masterpost of Sorts

denugis:

[As much for my convenience as anyone’s. At some point I might decide on a format and post these to AO3, and I’d like to write up some more plotty and ficlike parts of this ‘verse that have more Patrick focus. But arc-made-of-fragments has become the actual form of this part, which is thematically grouped around Sam’s issues. I will keep this post on hand and add to it when I add to the ‘verse.

What strikes me, looking over these, is how many of them are set in pubs. This is largely because they were written in pubs. I lack invention.

This is in rough in-story chronological order, though not all the fragments have a settled timeline place in my head. I’ve given brief content warnings where applicable and noted whether each fragment is a relationship scene or a therapy scene.]

Updated 8/25/18; ** = two recent fluffiesh bits

Sam wants to see Patrick again and talks to Dean (relationship; Sam & Dean as well as early stage Sam/Patrick)

there’s a devil in the corner of the pub (relationship; CW: mental health issues)

**a conversation about finances (relationship; around when Sam is moving in)

Cas comes to Sam and Patrick’s second wedding (relationship; there is past Sastiel in this ‘verse, though it’s barely hinted here)

Sam meets Patrick’s sister Ellen at second wedding (relationship; hints of past Sastiel and of a possible Cas/Ellen fling)

early therapy scene (therapy)

pub drabble that’s probably fairly early (relationship; this was the first written of the bits I’ve posted, and looking back it’s got some inconsistencies in the voices)

Sam talks about Lucifer’s death (therapy; could really go anywhere, chronologically)

Sam is fine (therapy; CW: mental health issues)

fluff immediately following last therapy fragment (relationship)

surprise! Sam is not fine (therapy; CW: mental health issues)

Sam would like some clarity on the Dean front (therapy)

street cleaning starts up (relationship, fluff)

I’d love it if, one episode, instead of finding out that a now-ghost had been cremated, the body was instead just in this really ridiculous place? Like… maybe they were buried in the country of their birth? Or at the top of their favourite mountain? Maybe they got buried in an avalance and never found? Or maybe they were buried at sea.

… What I’m saying is, we have so many options out there to make life more dificult for the Winchesters. Let’s take them.

“Was he cremated?”

“Uh, actually, no. He had a ton of money and nothing to buy for it, so he ordered his body to be shot into space after he dies.”

“…shit”
