A road too hard to walk
Sam's leadership journey
14x15 Peace of Mind spoiler. Sam's meta
Hi! I'm here again, this is my fourth meta (ugh!) About the last episode Peace of mind.
This meta is dedicated to the Anon who requested me more Sam meta, so this is four you! 馃挄馃挄
If you want to read my other metas ABOUT this episode, here are the links.
I made a promise (Castiel's meta-Destiel meta)
Did you noticed the difference? Sam/Cas vs Dean/Cas
Kissing you goodbye. Lovers separation (Destiel meta. Visual narrative meta)
The boy with a dream
We know Sam's destiny from the beginning was to rule an army and Hell. To be a leader. But he always was the rebellious child, it was obvious he wouldn't fulfill any forced destiny.
Tumblr media
The idea of follow a different path grew strong in him, that's why he decided not to join his father and his brother and having a normal life.
He really tried, but again his truly destiny was chasing after him from the very beginning. And he was dragged again into the hunter life, not because he wanted to, but because he needed to fullfil his revenge, as his father did. Repeating his father story, even if he had disapproved him.

The boy with a destiny
When Sam came back from the dark side, from drinking demon blood upgrading his psyquic powers, there was still another destiny chasing after him: LEADERSHIP. But not just any leader, but Hell's king, as Lucifer vessel.
Although every cell of his body fought against his destiny, he ended by saying yes to Lucifer, using all his strengths to take control over his own body helped by family love. And he jumped into that Hell's hole, saving the world and receiving the redemption he deserved. He is a hero.

The man with a mission
In season 12 we finally saw him as a leader. It was just one episode, but Sammy showed us his skills in the leadership. And it fits him perfectly. I think we all know that the whole time. Because Sammy is an innate leader. He is smart, strong, he evaluates each decision and he has this empathic way when he talks with people.
In season 14 we saw Sammy's leadership in all it's splendor, he even had developed a system to keep the connection between hunter and the bunker, filming the missions and reporting constantly.
Dean was amazed and felt proud of him, but also Sammy received critics and judgment from AUBobby in 14x05, representing John Winchester btw, and showing Sam's inner fears for being responsible for so many people's lives.

But a leader will always receive critics, for his position, and bc all his decisions affects a group.
A man with faith
He always is looking for another way out, even when things are hard, he is the one keeping hopes up, searching, investigating. He is constantly fighting, and rarely he give up, because he learned to fight till the end from his brother, and even from his father too, whom never gave up trying to get revenge.
Tumblr media
In the beginning of the show, firsts seasons, he was a very angry character, affected by demon blood and the pain of loosing Jesse.
After being in hell and solving the soulless issue, Sammy developed a very calm mood, always trying to help people, and empathizing with them. Showing a virtuous strength, which had helped him to resist in the cage the tortures from Michael and Lucifer.
He is very controlled about what he feels, and moderate in showing it. But there's situations he had been going through, mostly these last season, in which we had seen him broken.
Recalling when they losing Mary by the end of season 12 (after saying to her he felt complete having his mom with him), losing Jack (his adopted son) in 14x08, trying to convince Dean to not use the Mal'ak box in 14x12 and losing all his "army" in 14x14. Every one of these episodes had something in common: IMPOTENCE. When Sam feels he can't do something to fix things, he breaks. Beacuse he is the one solving the situations, doing research, trying to figure out things, but when he sees there's no way out, he breaks...
Talking about "Peace of Mind"...
In the last episode, Sammy was again in that emotional state in which you could say, he was about to break. Having visions about your dead friends in the bunkers isn't something that happens like nothing. He was struggling inside with his "failure as a leader" , so he tried to run away from the place that Remember him his failure and his impotence.
When we saw the poster from "Charming Acres", and we had two excelent meta about it from @drsilverfish here and @poorreputation here. I first saw the color (yellow, related with Sam). So that will be the place where SAM COULD REACH A FAKE HAPPINESS AND A FAKE PEACE OF MIND FROM ALL HIS GHOSTS.
The man with a destiny
As we had been talking about, Sammy fights against his destiny, but he ends always by embracing it, against his will... This season begins like this...
Tumblr media
Sammy naming himself as new King of Hell, maybe not being so conscious about the height of his own words... He is embracing symbolically what he was rejecting all his life. Fullfil his destiny.
Please check the following spec I wrote about Sammy, is here, because this clues I saw in the last episode, supports my theory...
So... We had
The boy King destiny ruling Hell
Sammy "losing"? His powers as psyquic
The psyquic girl in season 12 and Sam talking with her about his psyquic past thing.
Season 12 leader of hunters episode.
Season 14 episode 5 Sam talks about that psyquic old man from season 8.
Season 14 call back to season 4 and 5 (Sammy's destiny again)
That post in episode 300 an eye inside a triangle with the word psyquic on it.
Season 14 begins with Sammy "accidentally" naming himself as the new King of Hell.
The last episode was about a psyquic.
Coincidences? I don't think so, this proves Sammy's destiny is many chasing after him again. Let's see.
A man with a family
So Justin Smith was living a "happy" life, Sammy wanted to scape from the hard and sad reality he was living, and that was perfect for him. Brainwashed, new life, the life he wanted in his past. Lying to himself. The mind control was strong... Till CAS appears again.
And there's three olives on the martini, and not just two, as always... (Letting the men谩ge a troi meaning, I found it very interesting Sam pointed WE ARE THREE DEAN, CAS AND ME)
And there was that beautiful parallel with 10x22...

Castiel, the best friend Sammy ever had, is who made him break from mind control mentioning him: FAMILY (JACK AND DEAN) AND HIS FAILURES AS A LEADER empathizing with him, he talked to Sam as a Commander to another Commander, as a friend to another friend, and as a brother to a brother. Mentioning KEEP FIGHTING, It's a call to Sam's essence. FAITH, KEEP FIGHTING, FINDING ANOTHER WAY, KEEP FIGHTING. That's what brought Sammy back. His family, his mission, his destiny, his choices.
To conclude
Sam is a hero, he had walked a path full of pain and hard moments, but that's what built in him the grown up character we are seeing now.
He is a generous, empathic, smart, insightful person who not matters what, keeps his faith and keeps fighting.
He can break when he feels IMPOTENCE, and he is always searching for another way to solve situations.
He had always fought back his destiny, but the story showed us he ends doing it anyway (like leadership).
I would love to see him in a big role as getting back his powers, would be interesting beacuse the improvement of his character was huge, and adding his psyquic powers to it plus the little detail he named himself (accidentally) as King of Hell could lead us to a wonderful end game for him.
I hope you like it, is my first Sam's meta here, so please feel free to comment.
I'm preparing too a post with the two huge specs I have, with all the clues I could recollected with the help of my friends.
C-u! 馃槝馃挄

"Let's come back to the day we met..."
Destiel First Encounter Melancholy (14x07 spoiler)
Ok, fellows... My beautiful, beautiful fandom... I'm a little sad today bc something I posted as a crack thing... Now is not so crack...
Let me show you...
So yes, people, sadly... They are not ok with each other...
Sam... The third wheel
This isn't fresh news... But... Lately, I saw Sammy more in the middle than never... Bc if you remember that time when Dean came back from Possession, Cas asked Sammy how he was. Well... Now...
Tumblr media
Gif credit @deanwinchestir
Ok... Yeah. Again... Trying to know how is Dean doing through Sammy. This is the kind of stuffs you do when you are mad at someone but still want to know how is he going? Yeah, you ask his brothers or friends.
This is my impression... IDK if this distance or avoidance is bc Dean disappointed him or is bc he knows there's a direct open line between a vessel and the Archangel that possessed him.
If you recall this moment, could be related to what we are seeing now (leaving to a side my other crazy spec about Dean is in a kind of dream) those blurry eyes from Dean could be this direct line, and he could be spying TFW. That could explain why he knew about Sergei, and probably, convince the shaman to give Cas Michael's grace as an experiment.
So..., All of this is not unknown by Cas. So he could be cautious in his interactions with Dean's perhaps? And not just bc he is mad at him...
But... To be mad at him, my first premise, would explain too why he didn't go for the hug... Many people, you can say...? But I do remember this...
Tumblr media
In front of Mary...
And this one...
Tumblr media
...in front of so many angels...
Then... "Many people" or "unknown people" in the room, never was an impediment to Cas going for the hug... Isn't?
So, Cas... Asking Sam how Dean is doing??? Is not a good sintom.
So close, but so distant
Ok, so here is something we were talking with @mrsaquaman187 last night, bc Dean and Cas looked so close physically in each frame, but else, they were distant.
Bc Cas is focused in Jack and Dean is focused In healing.
In this episode we saw how Dean was working his GUILT with Jack, it was mentioned by Sam, that he felt guilty bc in a first time he wanted to kill Jack bc he thought he was the cause of Cas's death.
And now this kid won the hearts of this three dads, including Dean. So Dean, as the BIG PROTECTOR he is of this family, he decided to fulfill Jack's last desires.
So, and I want to mention here my friend @emblue-sparks pointed something so so beautiful about this dad and son date...
So yes... A barn again... Remembering Cas with melancholy again. Why is Dean like this? Is he feeling he screwed up thing with Cas saying yes to Michael? Is he ashamed? Is he sending Cas being away from him bc he just sees him as a friend? Or bc he hurted him? This GUILT, as I said before, is the heritage from John Winchester and the biggest impediment for Dean to love himself and freely love others. So, GUILT, GUILT and GUILT.
And he just want to come back to those days when everything was different... And he was Cas's mission again...
Tumblr media
Not even looking back at him in the eye as he always did... He always received Cas eyes back at him when he searched for it... But now Cas has eyes just for his son. His new mission.
I wish I could...
And then, in the middle of all this sadness... Something in Jack words were like... A light at the end of a tunnel...
Tumblr media
And not... Dean didn't do this things with his dad, so... What is that supposed to mean?
And then...
Tumblr media
So... Hearing a child that is about to die with so much wisdom, has to be very hard and uncomfortable to Dean... And besides that... Hearing him saying that... "YOU WILL REGREAT NOT DOING THINGS THAT YOUR HEART WISHED TO DO. BC WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE IS SPEND TIME DOING BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.," ,
That's the lesson to learn today, Dean. Do what your heart wants to do.
Tumblr media
If you already know what you want... Just do it, or you'll regreat it... And you won't have any memories from it to miss.
Let's come back to the day we met...
So... Where is the story line of Destiel going with all of this???
All this melancholy coming from Dean, this distance and avoidance coming from both?
They are in different pages bc words never came right. Bc words are enemies to Dean, bc Cas thinks he doesn't get words wrong.
So... If you came back to 14x06 we had barns on the wall and in this episode, we had a big green barn with blue and red letters... Why so many barns???
Bc 10 years ago... This was what Happened in a barn...
Tumblr media
Again... This time traveling that we were spoiled from episode 300 and this so many barns and call backs to this first encounter... Will Dean come back to the first talk he had with Cas???could be this the key to break his wall and learn once for all that...
Tumblr media
..do happen, Dean."
And "YOU DESERVE TO BE SAVED, AND LOVED."
(both beautiful gifs from my friend @magnificent-winged-beast , such a talented artist! Thank you!)
So... Maybe Dean needs to come back to the day they met to have that talk again?? Maybe he needs to hear it again... But this time... He has to believe... And change. This Dean from now, will listen differently that the Dean of 10 years ago. He will understand differently too... He will take this words coming from this ancient and wise supernatural being as lessons.
Castiel... Who came to tremble this hunter's world, he gave him 10 years ago the last lesson he needs to learn for truly heal his heart.
IDK if this is a desire, of foreshadow or what... But you were with me when I wrote that season 14 is Foreshadowing the talk between this two, and I truly believe in that. The fact is... Is this first encounter in the barn the talk that Dean needs? We don't know, and we will have to wait +sadly) and see what will happen with this avoidance band distance between them. If this had been settled on purpose or not.... We just need to wait.
Ok... I hope you understand a little of this messy thing... I will write too about Profund Bond as I put in my pre-meta thoughts from 14x07.
Tagging people for the discussion!
