The best parts are when they cry!

So, my (straight, male) friend to whom I'm introducing SPN said after Dean's One Perfect Tear at the end of "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things," "I'm not sure if I like this new 'emotional' Dean." ARRGHHH! Men! They don't understand anything.

(I assured him that he wouldn't have to worry, that Dean has appeared to barely feel a thing for seasons now, alas, and he was pleased.)

'Emotional' Dean? Let's see what Dean gets emotional about, shall we?

Hmmm… his little brother dying. Going to Hell. Torturing souls in Hell. His little brother going to Hell. Losing his parents. Losing Bobby. Losing Cas. Losing other people he loves.

Damn emotional Dean, what's wrong with him?! He needs to man up and stop feeling sad about things that are genuinely tragic.

… This comment was bought to you by sarcasm and anger at straight males in general.

Oh bless.
He's just not used to the feels yet.
I'm sure by Swan Song he'll be getting used to it.

Just make sure you post us a picture of him trying not to weep when "Carry on.." starts playing a bit further down the line : ) x

And the thing is, he loves the most emotional anime, which I pointed out, and he said it "depends on the show."

But YES, I relish him having to hold back tears later on down the line. I just don't want to have to be wondering if he's sitting there rolling his eyes at my most favorite emotional moments ...

I am so right there with ya, my friend. But this friend doesn't allow himself to cry over his sadnesses, so hey, he's Dean! ... and all is explained. I wonder if it'll be all right with him when Sam gets teary, since he doesn't identify with him so much ...?

Because Sam's a big girl? :)

[brightly-lit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, basically. Dean's exactly the wise-cracking badass my friend wants to be. ;-)

Well, then he should be embracing his softer side, like Dean does.

[brightly-lit.livejournal.com]

YES HE SHOULD. (And he does, in secret, with anime, but outwardly he's Mr. Nothin' Gets to Me ...)

Hehe, that's kind of cute. He's like Dean with his Dr Sexy. Or his hentai. Okay, that might be different...

[brightly-lit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's a good guy. I've known him since he was a wee tyke. He really IS a lot like Dean, wise-cracking and all. And he's stared down guns before (held up at his job), and knowing him, he surely kept his cool, even if he was secretly pissing himself.

But, as Sam should have discovered by now, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO IDOLIZE DEAN!

Awww. He does sound like a nice guy. Even nice guys can be infuriating.

Argh, Sam can't help himself - Big Brother is still God and HE WILL NEVER LEARN! Poor Sam. I'm holding my breath, waiting for all Hell to break loose when he finds out about Zeke.
