You should definitely cross post at spn heavy meta
I was thinking of it, but wasn't sure if that comm was relevant anymore *remembers its glory in S2 and its many posts*. I suppose it can't hurt, though. :)
I think I have a meta of my own to write ... Dean's experience of purgatory did change something fundamental in his character
That's a meta I'd be interested in reading!
I would argue that SPOILERS are also to blame.For sure. Were you involved in this fandom during the summer before S3 (sorry I can't remember off hand)? If not or if you don't recall, there was a HUGE fandom freak-out as a result of Ruby and Bela sides being leaked with people rallying against potential love interests and the new girls causing Sam and Dean to be apart more than they were together etc. This stemmed from the sides being a scene of Sam and Ruby and then of Dean and Bela, and at least Sam and Ruby's scene (if not both) was hypersexualized. Anyway, I feel like those spoilers caused a portion of fandom to make up their minds about Ruby and Bela

Oops, I wrote too much so I had to cut it into two replies! *faceplam*
I hope they don't let Dean just sit back and take this label that he is the "Brawn" of the family.
Dean is smart clearly just as Sam is a brawny hunter (but you know that). I think it's human nature to want to slot things/people into clear-cut categories and to say what it is or they are or what it isn't or they aren't. It's harder to think of things/people in terms of sitting somewhere on a spectrum because it isn't tidy and can't easily be labeled. And I think Sam and Dean get slotted into categories a lot and defined by what they are or aren't in relation to each other regardless if it's accurate or not. For example: Sam is smart, so Dean isn't. Dean is sex on wheels so Sam can't be

i think you should go ahead and post at heavy meta. I know there are still people watching because there were a couple of great posts earlier this season.
I feel the urge to fic about how Dean will find his own ways into the Men of Letters schema. I adored that moment, which was very small, when Sam was studying and Dean said "good". HEARTS EVERYWHERE!!! It was a wonderful moment for things between them to kick into place. I remember, back in the day, there was fic where they got old and ran a Hunting School or some such. Wouldn't it be grand if this could be the start of it?
I also think there is Angelic influence at work with the men of Letters. I'm eager to see how that plays out. :)

So much rolled into that one little word! I love that Show still has the capacity to do that. :)

*hearts* I still want Sam and Dean to have a happily ever after ending somehow.

As soon as Henry started talking about the generations of Winchester men in the MoL, I immediately started hyperventilating while thinking about vessels and the Winchester blood line and all the blabber seasons ago about how it John had to have something special going on in his back story to be a vessel for Michael in "TSRTS" (not to mention Sam and Dean being angelic vessels themselves). It would be interesting to see in future seasons if the angels have some sort of "plan" having to do with the Winchester Legacy and the fact Sam and Dean don't have anyone to continue their blood line.
"I just have to say, I hope they don't let Dean just sit back and take this label that he is the "Brawn" of the family. I am really really happy for Sam that he has this mantle to draw around his huge librarian shoulders. (I am sitting around thinking about Bobby's books all in boxes and just itching for Sam to cross catalog them. I am literally picturing the satisfaction of slotting Bobby's book in amongst the Letters collection.) I want Dean to have his Legacy in Letters too though!! Is that too greedy? The very first meta I ever posted was about Dean's giftedness. I don't want him shoved over as Brawn.... Yes, I am a greedy fangirl

well I really liked season 6 and I think season 7 was good, it wasn't the wonderful 1-5 season's, that Eric created, but at least Sam and Dean weren't so out of character (like 8x12 As time goes by" , that Sam and Dean were going to left their grandpa alone with a powerful demon; since when Sam and Dean just leave the hostages?)
and in season 6 & 7 the essential of the story was there, Sam and Dean against the world, not the disaster Jeremy created; I still don't know how the writers are going to explain Why the man that stop the devil and the Apocalypse, got sad when his brother got lost (and is not like the first time Dean goes missing), and he just didn't look for Dean.
