Dysfunctional Shipping Awareness can get way the fuck out of hand.

I get these horrible delusions of coherence about Sam Winchester, so. Bear with me. Or don't, in which case, later. Spoilers through S4 in the post, but anything's fair game in comments. Warning for disturbing content and rampant favoritism. I do as I please.

the ship you love for its creepiness (SPN) )

spn: sammay!, supernatural, god doesn't want you! but i still do., dysfunctional shipping awareness, gaslighting

RUBYYYYY.

which was why she was so vehement in the end that he just trust her because Lucifer will save us and then we'll be okay.

Exactly! I don't know at what point she forgot she was playing the role of Sam's fallen guardian angel and slipped into it for real.

Here, have another gif, because you will clearly appreciate the rich psychological symbolism, and stuff.

In my head canon, it was just after the whole "I remember being human" speech she gave Dean in S3. Because that was the point that there seemed to be a character shift, where as much as she was manipulative, she also seemed to have a twisted sort of fondness for both of them.

Or, you know, that could have all been in my head.

GUH, yes, I do appreciate the symbolism, but if I'm being totally honest, the demon blood drinking sub-plot is one of my least favorites of the series.

ooooh, interesting. Mind if I ask why? I've never thought to separate that out from Sam/Ruby and Sam-Lucifer generally.

Not at all! I think it stems from the fact that as soon as I saw that first scene where he drinks her blood, it was like a giant, neon sign screaming SHE'S EVIL, and at that point, I wanted to believe so badly that she wasn't. In theory, I can appreciate the symbolism, but in reality, I could have done without it.

Fair enough. I didn't really get pissed until that very last scene, where she was all "I AM YET ANOTHER SELF-SACRIFICING FEMALE-TYPE CREATURE WHO FLINGS MYSELF IN THE WAY OF AN UGLY DEATH! TWIST!" booooooooooored.

Oh hello awesome ladies in your icon :D Ugh, another female who was branded with the evil end of the stick. Bah.

OMG THAT SCENE. I already knew it was going to be bad when Sam was on the phone listening to "Dean's" voicemail. Her evil smirk was about as subtle as a blow to the head with a concrete block.
