“If Sam finishes those trials, he is going to die.”

#you know what the worst part about people calling sam selfish is #THE ONLY REASON IT’S TAKEN HIM THIS FUCKING LONG TO ADMIT HOW SHITTY HE FEELS #IS BECAUSE HE HATES BEING A BURDEN ON DEAN #WHEN YOU’RE AFRAID OF EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS BECAUSE YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT HOW THEY’LL AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE #YOU ARE NOT #SELFISH #sam has always put other people before himself WHAT PART OF THAT FITS THE DEFINITION OF ‘SELFISH’

Can I just *sobs, clears throat*

Let me talk about Sam Fucking Winchester for a second. Sam has been betrayed, tortured, lied to, hurt mentally and physically beyond all imagining, possessed (repeatedly), disbelieved, ignored, taunted, manipulated, and cut down in every way a human can be by both enemies and allies, and he’s still walking on two feet and using words when he himself admits no words will suffice for what he has experienced. That’s badass, but it’s not what I’m on about.

Sam has experienced the literal worst all beings mortal and otherwise have to offer. He’s seen the darkest side of humanity on the daily. Somehow, he still has room aplenty for love and empathy and faith in people—or at least hope for their better natures.

And best of all, he still has that flicker of fire in him—for himself, for what Rowena experienced. He does things not because they’re advantageous but because they’re right, and they might help someone who has suffered greatly take back a shred of control. 

(And because the devil deserves a good solid kick in the ass.)
