jared waking up in the dead of night from a nightmare and immediately calling out 'DEAN'. and vice versa jensen half-asleep forgetting he's not dean and jared isnt sam and they not actually brothers. yeah never getting over that

on the flipside of the genre aware Dean coin I've always had this idea that sam is genre-resistant, he is oblivious or disdainful or both. I mean obviously with moments like 'you peed yourself!' or 'there aren't even words in this newspaper dean!' the joke is that he's not participating in Dean's self-conscious vaudeville act. first scene of him as an adult is him telling Jess he doesn't want to dress up for Halloween, he resists being costumed, he doesn't pick the music and all the music he is shown genuinely enjoying the joke is that it's out-of-place, too whiny or modern. his pop culture touchstones don't mesh with the show's very strict aesthetic sensibilities. also in comparison to Dean who is such a chameleon Sam is kind of allergic to pretense. like thinking abt in it's a terrible life where Dean immediately adapts to the contours of his new role vs Sam who is thrashing around like a trapped animal.

I like seeing genderswap Destiel where Dean is a butch lesbian who still sleeps around with women, and Cas is fem and wearing typical women’s office attire, but I want to see mostly conventionally feminine bisexual woman Deanna Winchester who sleeps around with men, and considers herself straight. I want her to see fem cas and question her sexuality for a moment before repressing it soooo hard. I want fem sam with the exact same clothing style and haircut as regular sam, and fem dean makes fun of her for “dressing like a lesbian.” Neither of them wear makeup unless they’re pretending to be FBI agents or Dean is trying to get laid at a bar. Fem Cas never EVER wears makeup because she doesn’t understand the importance and hates the sensation of it on her face, even though getting stabbed is barely a concern to her. Dean takes her shopping and she finds certain women’s clothes very confusing. “This material is very flimsy.”
