Tension, Conflict, Motivation, and Plot: Why the Story is About Dean and We Do Know Sam
I wrote a meta thingy! :)
There’s been avid discussion about Sam and Dean and which of them, if either, seems to be favored by Kripke as well as debate about “who is the story really about”. I’ve noticed there’s been a propensity for some self-proclaimed “Dean girls” and “Sam girls” to run circles around each other, trying to prove their points. ( Read more... )

LOL! That is just so perfect for this fandom!
I laughed out loud at the idea of Dean as a glittery tiara
Aww, Dean. He is very glittery, though. ;) I had a silly analogy of Sam as a worn T-shirt and Dean as a sequined-halter top that I took out because it was too long.
Found it.
Sam, the plot tiger, is like your favorite T-shirt, comfortable and safe and the first thing you grab without thinking. It's familiar, unobtrusive, functional, and goes with everything. It's the backbone of your wardrobe, and you LOVE it. Your family and friends don't think twice when you show up in your T-shirt for Sunday dinner. They don't need to be convinced why you decided to wear it. Like the plot tiger, the T-shirt just is there for obvious reasons.
Dean, the motivation tiger, is the sequined black halter top you bought in Mexico during spring break, form-fitting and revealing and something you want to wear all the time because it makes people pay attention to you. When you show up to Sunday dinner wearing it, your family and friends stare. Like the motivation tiger, you need to explain to them your compunction to buy it, why you just had to have it, how it speaks to your SOUL. The conversation centers on the attention-hog halter top that you know you look awesome in.
lol. OMG. Look what silliness this show inspires.
