true stories and unicorns.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] crazyace86 linking me to some SUPERHOT pics of Jared Padalecki, I have FINALLY figured out why it is that I can't choose between Sam and Dean.

It's like this:

Sam is the kind of intelligent, friendly, fun-but-slightly-serious guy I would be friends with and eventually fall madly in love with but never put the moves on because I'd figure he wasn't interested. He'd also figure I wasn't interested and never put the moves on me, and years later we'd figure this out and be like "wow, we were idiots" but the time for things would have already passed.

Dean is the kind of guy who I would check out, get caught checking out, get asked out by, and then ditch after a date or two even though I liked him well enough, just because I'm slightly uncomfortable with REALLY HOT AND KIND OF MANLY men (which is weird because they're the main kind I go out with). He would probably call a few times and leave confused messages on my voicemail, and the next time I ran into him I he'd be a bit confused and hurt but play it cool and somehow we'd end up going out again, only for the process to repeat (this is the story of my dating life: LAME).

So there it is. The totally dumb reason I can't choose between them: they are just too good at being nearly like people I've actually known and liked. GODDAMN, SPN, WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE MY LIFE SO HARD? TWO CRUSHES IN ONE SHOW IS TOO MUCH WHEN THEY'RE IN SO MANY SCENES TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO LOOK AT.

Also, this picture of Jared ([livejournal.com profile] slippyslope, I recommend you check it out!) is the least straight thing I've ever seen. It's not even gay. It has surpassed gay and gone straight into UNICORNS. Jared Padalecki is fucking MADE OF UNICORNS in that picture, and I am not even kidding. (eta: slippyslope informs me that Jared is actually sparkly balloons and not unicorns, according to supernaturalwiki. CLOSE ENOUGH. I STILL THINK "UNICORNS" IS A MUCH BETTER HIGHER LEVEL OF BEING THOUGH. MUCH RARER THAN SPARKLY BALLOONS.)

Ah, how I hate that picture of jared. Pull your pants up, boy, and give your sister back her sweater! (And maybe do something about the hair?) Still, there are many (many many, oh god, so many) worse pictures of Jensen, so I must cut Jared some slack.

And you are not wrong about the unicorns. He is made of unicords, candy, and <a href="http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Sparkly_Balloons>Sparkly Balloons</a>. And this is how you get sucked in. I don't know if I would really get along with Sam; I think I would get impatient with him; he's too Hamlet-ty for me, or at least he was in S1 and S2. I would have a terrible burning crush on Dean (I too cannot resist the MANLY) but I think at this late date in my life I have learned to skip the months of misery and confusion and decide to just be pals. We would have an AWESOME time driving around, listening to music, and eating greasy food. Not that I have, uh, given this any thought. At all. I need more spn icons. Now who do I know that is a brilliant icon maker....

hahah, funny you should mention icons, because I have been meaning to make an icon request post so I can organize all the times I try to make icons for people. IT'S HERE (http://jehnt.livejournal.com/75783.html). You're on the ~priority list~ lol.

OH GOD SPARKLY BALLOONS. I LIKE "MADE OF UNICORNS" BETTER BUT WHATEVER. JARED FTW. He looks like kind of a jackass in a lot of his unstaged pictures though, so meh. (wow, that turned around quickly)

And this is how you get sucked in.

GOD SO TRUE.

I don't know if I would really get along with Sam; I think I would get impatient with him; he's too Hamlet-ty for me

Okay... I know that I'm missing a HUGE cultural reference and should be just slapped in the face... but I've never seen/read Hamlet. EXPLAIN PLZ.

Not that I have, uh, given this any thought.

ahahhahah, that's okay. WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT HERE. AND IT IS A BOAT FULL OF SCANTILY-CLAD HOT BOYS AND UNICORNS AND SPARKLY BALLOONS, AND THE SWEET SOUND OF BALLOONS BEING POPPED BY UNICORNS' HORNS.

And with the manly men, the weird thing is that I CAN resist them! I am totally not charmed by it at all IRL! It's just that most of the guys who ask me out are superhot manly men, and I'm like "okay?" because they're SUPER HOT and maybe they have HIDDEN DEPTHS (I'm an optimist?) but so far I've not found any. They're so shallow that the metaphorical boat gets grounded. I mean, they do often say things like, "dude, you talked about stormtroopers on our first date, you're THE MOST AWESOME GIRL EVER" and I quite agree, but if there is no spark... there is no spark, even if they call like five times a day.

AND GODDAMN ALL THIS MENTION OF STEAK AND GREASY FOODS; NOW I'M HUNGRY.

SPARKLY BALLOONS!!!11!!

*ahem*

I get flak for this sometimes, but I'm honestly a Dean girl, and this is why.

Sam is someone who would want to settle down, have a family, just be a normal, traditional, unassuming guy in the same kind of life. And that life, to me, would be boring. I don't want kids or a house in the suburbs (dear God, no) or any of that. Dean, for all that he may want that, would and could never have it. He's too restless, for one thing, and he likes living. He likes seeing new things and doing new things and just having a good time. Any relationship with him wouldn't last, but I wouldn't want it to. I'd want it to be a few glorious days or weeks or even hours and be just simply that.

*shrugs*

BUT... Sam is fuckin' hawt, man. Whew. God. I know why they call it arm!porn.

I kind of agree about the unicorns, though, lol.

Haha, my thoughts on Sam and Dean and settling down are all chronicled here (http://jehnt.livejournal.com/68329.html). I have a few more continuations on them, but nothing really sorted out logically yet. But basically I think Dean would be totally content all settled down once he had his own family, because we've seen time and again that family is the most important thing to him and if his wife said "Goddammit, Dean Winchester, we are buying a house and our kids are growing up in one place, even if I have to do it without you" he'd be like, "yes, ma'am" and go be the rockingest stay-at-home-dad EVER, and probably take weekend hunting trips when his wife (not Mrs. Winchester, because she'd have kept her name for career-related reasons) could watch the kids. Sam, otoh, I think just kind of slots himself into whatever life he thinks he wants and then makes do with it. He may want normality, but it's not necessary for him to have purpose, whereas Dean needs family in order to even function properly. At this point, I think Sam could go either way with it... but we'll see what I think after I watch more episodes. (I mean, really, I've only seen up to "The Benders" in the first season, and of the second season I've seen the ones with Jo and from "Playthings" to the end of the season... and I don't really remember the third-season episodes I watched, so there are huge gaps in my attempts at meta.)

AND YES JARED. HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianivarieanna/2840930098/in/set-72157607170755894/) IS A VERY SHORT LAME INTERVIEW WITH HIM WHEREIN HE TALKS ABOUT STEAK. IT IS MY NEW MOST FAVORITE CELEBRITY INTERVIEW EVER. I LOVE STEAK SO MUCH. MORE CELEBRITIES SHOULD TALK ABOUT STEAK DURING INTERVIEWS.

LOL, yeah, he would be like that, assuming he ever managed to stay in one place long enough to get a girl that wants him for more than a one night stand.

And I'll tell you what-- you don't laugh at me for semi-shipping Dean/Cassie (just a teeny tiny bit, honest), I won't say anything about Dean/Jo. XD (Honestly, it's fandom, which automatically means "shipping free for all" to me.)

Sam actually kind of reminds me of another Sam-- Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap. Doesn't he? I mean, he's like the boy next door in personality, would be an absolute darling to any girl or guy he fell for, and wants that happy, normal family life. And Dean... Dean is Al to me. He's goodhearted, but a bit of a player, and it's my personal canon that he has gotten drunk at least once and woke up married, lol. But that he believes what they say about Vegas, and that's that. XD

Yeah, Dean, I think, can't really function without his family. I mean, even when he was doing solo trips while Sam was at college, I'm still thinking he kept immediate regular contact with their dad, and that's why he freaked so much when he hadn't heard from him in a few days; because, really, I get the impression that John could be gone for weeks at time, and so a few days wouldn't have been unusual. And now that John's gone, Dean needs Sam on a level that probably surpasses any family relation. I don't necessarily mean Wincest, either, although I totally love it, but that Sam is everything, his heaven and earth, his home. That's why I totally believed the deal he made. He probably would have made it for one damn day if it meant that Sam came back.

Sam... Sam could live without Dean, and both he and Dean know that; they know he could move on. But Sam doesn't want to, he doesn't want to live a place that Dean's not a part of, somehow, some way. And throughout the third season-- don't worry, no real spoilers coming-- you see the difference in him. He still wholeheartedly believes he will save Dean, but he also talks about when Dean's gone.

Dean sold his soul for his brother by make a deal with the devil, so to speak; Sam sold his soul for Dean by making a deal with himself. That he would do whatever it took, even become like him, in order to keep him alive somehow.

And I babbled. Whoops. Man, nine days until the season premiere. ARGH.

AHAHA STEAK. That was fun. I don't think I've ever had steak. I'm not a big meat eater; not a vegetarian by any stretch, but I don't really crave meat that much at all. *shrugs*
