Hemingway and SPN
Reading For Whom the Bell Tolls and I came across this:
"'Of all men the drunkard is the foulest. The thief when he is not stealing is like another. The extortioner does not practice in the home. The murderer when he is at home can wash his hands. But the drunkard stinks and vomits in his own bed and dissolves his organs in alcohol.'"
First thought was that, coming from Hemingway, this is either rather sad or really hypocritical. Or both.
Second, thought of Dean and Sam and all the moments that SPN never shows.
I need to go read all the fic about those sad, hurt-y and comfort-y moments when Dean is falling apart, all dignity gone, and Sam is there, understanding the whys but not the hows, pressing water into Dean's hand and cleaning up the messes before Dean sobers up enough to be embarrassed about them. About all the times Sam and/or Dean get that creeping feeling that Dean is being consumed by his habit; that he is becoming something or someone else entirely.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into everything.
