New Vid: Your Biggest Fan (SPN, Sam/Dean)

How long has it been since I posted a Sam/Dean vid? Let's see if I still know what I'm doing where they're concerned. I'm glad to set this vid free, you have no idea.

Absolutely gorgeous. I loved the texture of the vid - i loved how dirty it looked, worn out, used up. I loved the splashes of color when there *was* color, the sudden too-bright light. And the many little expressions of hurt, wonder, love, and ultimate longing and betrayal on Dean's face.... Lovely. But Sam! Sam, too - exasperated, maybe, going his own way, yes. Loving but not *desperate*. Poor boys.

Reading your vidding notes was a relief because i really *liked* this vid - hell, love it - but it made me sad to think all this gorgeousness was a kind of 'Dean loves Sam but Sam doesn't love Dean' statement. And it sort of kind of is, but not in that hopeless and horrible way, but in the way that it really *is* - the fucked up'ness of two people whose lives are fucked up and relationships are fucked up and how much that just...fucks them up. :)

I'm going to dl the big, pretty version but bookmark this, too, so i'll always *!!* have the notes.

Really enjoyed, thank you. *man, i hate reviewing vids, i never know how to say what i'm thinking and make it sound coherent!! but i have to say *something* when they're awesome....*

Trust me, you did a great review! Thanks for commenting. If notes make you feel better, perhaps I could ramble on some more? Because I was actually kind of restrained in the vid notes.

If you ever end up watching the vid again, it might make you feel better to notice that throughout the video, Dean is kind of ignoring that the lyrics speak to Sam's actions as well. I wanted to be as subtle as possible with it, but I hope it came through. 00:17 Sam is watching Dean, and it might look like an assessing glance, lit oddly on his eyes, but he's trying to take care of Dean in that scene. 00:30 Sam is guiding a disturbed Dean down a hallway, to their home, their car. 00:32-00:38 is Dean reaching out, searching, for a Sam that isn't going very fair, if anywhere, who is looking out for Dean in the hospital. In all the scenes in the follow chorus, it might be from Dean's POV, but Sam is right there too, living the same life, dying for the cause and for his brother, taking bullets. Dean might not be able to see it, simply because he is looking too hard for it. To Dean, Sam's independence is like a betrayal of sort, but it might be the hardest thing Sam has ever done, a death that he has to go through to become strong enough to share the weight his brother carries. Even Ruby was completely about Dean for Sam, there's no argument that losing Dean is what drove Sam over the edge, but Dean couldn't see it that way -- he was like a cheated lover. And that's just kind of the start with how I went about making this video. I really wanted Dean to mislead you up until the end, where Sam kind of bluntly takes control and shows us he can love Dean independently of Dean's need for him to... I'm glad it worked, lol :)

Oooh, neat. Thinky thots!

I will definitely rewatch with these points in mind. I love how complex the boy's relationship is on Show - how it's actually possible to find all these nuances and undercurrents.

Thanks!
