It rings so true to the most awful family arguments.
It does! Everybody's had that one thing that they wish they'd never said, and that growing hollow in the pit of their stomach as it really settled into the air.
the fandom would be SHRIEKING about what a horrible brother Sam is
Sad, but true. Poor Sam gets such a bad rap. Really, though, after Faith and In My Time of Dying, how could anyone doubt the Sam love? He moves frickin' armoirs out of love! I'll second that People Are Weird, and raise you a *headdesk*.
I've even seen a little murmuring about how nasty Dean was here, and how much that's out of character for him. *sigh* Which it would be, if he were being mean for meanness' sake. But he's not. He's just panicking, in ways that only a fully grown, suddenly orphaned, newly minted man of the house can, given that the house is made of cards and falling down around him. Possibly while on fire.
And Sam would have just as much justification for going a little smackdown on Dean, verbally or otherwise. They're both about as stressed out as a human being can get, and history has proven that they need each other most in those situations. I could see them having it out physically. (Not that they'd hurt each other. Much.)Which... come to think of it, has anybody written that yet? Because someone really should.
The whole cop analogy is exactly what I didn't know I meant. *g* It's just so perfect, with the sudden mortality and the rookie Sam and the mob. Because the demon is totally in the mob. He's the Godfather of Evil. He even made John an offer he couldn't refuse. Make me stop now. For the good of humanity.
