I love how every single time I come across genderswapped SPN fanart, Sam's hair is INVARIABLY THE SHORTEST.

blather, spn

I find it pretty hilarious...maybe something about the characters suggests that Sam is girly enough already that he'd keep his old haircut? (Though s/he never has the sideburns...) Or people just really really like the idea of femme!Dean having long flowing blonde hair. For some reason.

Personally I'm holding out for that one clever fanartist who draws fem!Dean with Dean's regular haircut. Because that cut does exist, even for girls.

I think the genderswap thing is at least partially a way for girl fans to express their interests in femmy stuff (long hair and...fluffiness? I guess?). It's completely mysterious to me though. But there are probably real reasons for wanting Dean to be more girly than Sam. Just...I don't get it at all. *sigh*

I think there are an awful lot of girly girls in a horror series fandom. It weirds me out on occasion. But it's given me a chance to ponder this sort of person, anyway, and at least acknowledge that they exist.

It's kinda wrong when the My Little Pony characters are more badass than the majority of genderswapped versions of SPN characters.

True! Though I wonder what would happen if Dean(na?) let that ponytail down.

This makes me wonder why we don't get more of Sam with his hair caked in blood and ichor. Because really, it should happen all the freakin' time.
