I don't even want to tell you how much I cried just now reading this. Happy tears!
It's been so bittersweet, but so lovely, to see all these familiar faces appear to celebrate the end of an era. I feel like we long-suffering Sam-girls who have been here from the beginning specifically got a very particular, wonderful, unexpected gift in this finale. We loved the show and the Winchesters-and Sam especially-for so long when it felt like the writers didn't, the fandom didn't-sometimes, like you say, even unsure that Dean still did. (I left in S8 for a good two years, as well, and it was 10x05 that brought me back.)
The way their last words in the whole series are "Sammy" and "Dean"....aaaaand, there I go again

I couldn’t keep watching SPN and haven’t seen the last two seasons (at least). They sit on my PVR taunting me. The marginalization of Sam was too much for me to watch ep. after ep.
I did read many reviews of the final. I love what you said about it and I will venture there after reading your post.
Will you give Walker a go? I’m so hoping that it’s good.

Oh, absolutely! Honestly, would have anyway, even if it didn't have Jared in it. :) (Big fan of Justified, Longmire, and basically that whole genre.) But yes, I hope it's good! He looks amazing.
I’ve never necessarily been a fan of the genre (but I wasn’t a fan of sci-fi shows when I first saw supernatural either). I’m totally loving the premise, casting and Jared’s new look. I’m hoping we see great writing. Fingers crossed. I absolutely cringe at the idea of bringing too many actors from spn over because it brings baggage. I want it to be it’s own show. Hope you review those eps. I’ll have to find a cowboy hat!
God, yes, to all this!!! I cannot believe how much that episode made me feel and STILL feel, and I absolutely cannot deal. I am so happy that you put it all in the right words thank you.
"Almost perfect," he says, and Bobby knows exactly what he means. "He'll be along." I like that time moves differently in heaven. I like that rather than go see his parents or his friends without Sam, he just goes for a drive until he gets there.
Really I could pick out any part of this and draw hearts around it, but: the drive, THE DRIVE. I held it together until the drive and then I was absolutely weeping. Of course Dean waited, of course nothing else really mattered until Sam was there too. ;______________; What a perfect ending.
AHHH HI HELLO I'm so glad you're here and read this!! <3333!!!
I agree completely, the drive was so perfect!! SOB. And the LICENSE PLATE!!!!! KAZ 2Y5!!!!!!
I'm so INCREDIBLY impressed it took you until then to cry, though, wowee. I was already teary at the beginning just because this is IT, but once Dean said "stay with me" I was a blubbering baby-crying mess for the entire remaining time.
Bobby instantly knowing what (who) Dean meant was so telling and poignant. Also from a writing perspective they basically didn't go more than a feat beats without driving the soulmates/wincest point forward.
THANK YOU!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This, exactly this. What show are those haters watching because it's not Supernatural. It seems to be some weird thing about Castiel and Dean being obviously in love but the writers hate the fandom and wrote the finale to hurt and humiliate it. I mean, what? What planet are they on? Tumblr has been so toxic that I unfollowed a bunch of people this morning because I had no idea until now they were so full of hate towards a show most of them claim to have hated for years. Jesus! Worst of all, I've seen people leaving comments on the cast's Instagrams, telling them how much they hated the finale, that they deserved better or even that it ruined the whole show for them. Some people are just so fucking entitled and bloody insane

HELLO MY DEAR, you are so welcome. I really did not expect anyone to read this; I'm so happy you did and that this was something you needed to see

That said I am struggling with waves of OVERWHELMING sadness thinking about Sam carrying on. It just seems cruel and like... to much to bear thinking about. We know from MANY examples over the years they don't want to live without each other. Kind of problematic I was rooting for an early death for Sam but it felt merciful! I get that some people think it's nice he got to have a normal life but that montage did not show a happy, normal life. Sam had by far the most tragic life - he spent nearly HALF OF IT without Dean and I just can't think of that without sobbing. BUT, I try to remember Dean spent 40 years in hell and apparently at some point Sam spent 150 years there too? So 40ish years is nothing really. As long as Sam didn't love anyone else more than Dean during that time... (scale of 1 to 10 how weird is it that I'm jealous of a kid on Dean's behalf
