Now I'm really p-off!

So, I'm having a bad day.

Yeah, the fact I'm burying a story I liked is... not a pleasant one, to say the least, but now I'm watching Kripke's commentary for WIAWSNB and I'm pissed off. I really am.

I'm listening to him, and man, SHUT UP!
He's so psyched about having this AU episode, he really wanted to show what would have happened had Mary never died. 
The original idea was that Dean was supposed to be a loser. "The ne'er do well brother." "That made so much sense to me because without hunting... What's sort of interesting about Dean is if he didn't have hunting he'd for the most part be a drifter and a loser." "Hunting in a weird way gives him structure and a purpose that he would never have in any other situation. And so I really liked the idea..."  You like the idea, TETIK?

Dean's childhood died along with Mary and his Dad in the fire. His father, or what survived of his father, destroyed his childhood, took away his choices, even if he had only the best of intentions at heart.
Had it not been for the fire, I believe Dean would have been a paramedic, a firefighter, a pediatrician, or an engineer. 

He's smart - smart enough to think of rock salt and build an EMF meter out of an old walkman. He's loyal to a fault, passionate, good with kids and likes a little bit of danger in his life.
You make him out to be an automaton who just wants to kill and protect Sam, and I really hate that.
Yes, you're a Samgirl, but I'm a o36.bmp, and let me tell you something, TETIK, there are more of us than there are Samgirls. Ever wondered why?
Forget the looks, and the acting, Dean has LAYERS. He's a four year old scared little kid who's just trying to listen to his father and protect his brother so he could have what little of his family and safety back, and he's willing to go the extra 10 miles to get it. And you, sir, suck.

Yes, I agree hunting has changed him. His life, the way John conditioned him has changed him. He might not have been close to Sam had it not been for the fire. BUT he would have been normal. He would have had friends, a family, a home.
He would NOT have been a loser.
Maybe he and Sam would bond over school. I do believe the reason Dean hated it so much was because he didn't really have the chance to apply himself. I mean, think about it - he had to take care of Sam, often alone, drifting from place to place with no one to really back him up. He had chores and training and taking care of his brother and sometimes father.
You tell me when he had had time for "irrelevant" things as school. And he believes in what he does. He doesn't hunt for revenge, he does it to help people, unlike Sam and John. And you, sir, suck out loud.

You should be careful there, TETIK, cuz there are many o36.bmps out there, and you keep dumbing our boy out, keep pretending he's nothing more than a hunter and an automaton, you're gonna have problems getting to season 4.

On a different note, sorry if you reviewed my story and I didn't reply.
I'm so depressed about this story, I haven't even read the comments and reviews, though they are much appreciated and I will hug them each in time. For now, I'm just disappointed I got so few hits that those reviews, as squee-worthy as they may be, are just not enough to pick me up.
I dropped the story.

I really think he has no idea what Dean character really means to the viewers. I mean, Jared's gotten way better this season as far as acting, and Sam did have some kick @$$ moments this season, but all in all, I would never watch this show if it weren't for Dean and the brothers. Had Dean been written differently, I probably wouldn't have watched.
I just love to see all the layers they put into his character, and it sucks out loud that the creator of the show totally overlooks it. *pouts*

I would've watched it but I don't think I would've gotten AS invested, y'know. I have some shows I watch but I'm not 100% invested in. Supernatural is one I'm very, very invested in. Even with Sam's more hardcore attitude in parts of this season, I still don't like him very much :P The whole emo kill me crap from epi 11 to 17ish slayed whatever good will I had towards him, haha

Yeah.
He had a couple of good moments - the 'we're just starting to be brothers again" line in IMToD made me want to squish him (despite the hair), and he did try to help Dean at the beginning, which won him some points, but Hunted killed his good points. Running away again? Yeah, that did the trick. The emo and the promise he extracted from Dean didn't help.
Yeah, I'm a Deangirl to the end ;) I just hope it won't be this season.
