Supernatural: Family Matters


            When you think of the word Family what comes to mind?  Are they just these people that share your blood and them meaning nothing to you? How close are we with our families? When I was thirteen I moved 15 hours away from my family, and it destroyed me for years. Sometimes we get this idea that we don’t need a family, and we can do everything on our own. The truth is our family is important. This week I am going to be focusing on two brothers that fight for their family. When I look at a show like Supernatural the first thing that stands out to me is the word family. Through every scene sense 2005 when the show began I have noticed that these brothers are real and relatable to me. I see how they will do anything for each other, and it never really matters how much bad they cause they are still there for each other. Although I never had that, a lot of people don’t have that with their siblings. Of course there are a lot of things that happen in our lives that distance ourselves from our brothers or sisters, but I really believe that we should strive to have this relationship with our family. This family were they will support you in all your crazy ideas, and stick up for you when the world is laying a beating on you. It’s were money isn’t an opinion, and it’s doesn’t cause major fights. It’s this love for one another that you will all have each other’s backs. It’s not about forgetting about them when they are struggling through life, and wanting to spend time with them when everything is going amazing in their lives. It’s about being there through all the good times and all the bad times. “Family don’t end in blood, boy!” ~Bobby Singer, So in the Supernatural family I want to focus on the Winchester Brothers of course there is John & Mary Winchester, Bobby Singer, Ellen, Jo, Castiel, Rufus, and all the others that helped the Winchester Brothers along there rocky road but I want to focus on the Brothers. So, let me start with;
 Dean Winchester; Well for all that hasn’t seen the show before; Dean is played by Jensen Ackles, and he is the oldest brother. The protector if you would say of Sam Winchester. He is someone that you would not want to cross if you hurt his family.
  • ·         Drives a 1967 Chevy Impala
  • ·         Listens to Classic Rock
  • ·         He can be straight forward (Not afraid to tell you what he thinks)
  • ·         Known for being sarcastic and a smart ass.
  • ·         He doesn’t deal with feelings to well (Mostly buries them)
 “I got to put my game face on, I can’t let Sammy see me like this” 
~Dean Winchester, The one thing about Dean is he backs up his talk. On a lighter note deep down Dean is fighting to get his family back. Family is what is important to Dean. Even though a lot of people in his life have died he continues to fight for his relationship with his brother. The truth is this is something that not even we in reality can say we do. I find it really sad, as Christians we say that we are all family, but we aren’t even willing to get to know the people around us. Dean has the fight, he as the drive that we should all have when it comes to our family.

What is family? Every day we walk around taking everything in our lives for granted. We only get one family. Whether you define family as someone with the same blood, or the people that fight, with you, and not against you, it is those people that you love with all your heart and will do anything for them. The biggest example of this is what Dean will do to protect his brother. It has been years of Dean being the big brother, but whether we are tired of the storyline or not Dean will always be the big brother to Sam, and because of his love for him he will always be there to protect him. I have read so many comments about either brother. It honestly makes me sick because a lot of fans are missing out. The point of this show is family. I am one of millions of people that wish they had a relationship with someone that is like Sam and Dean’s. The soul reason for this is because Sam and Dean have shown so many times that they are sticking by each other sides, and it does not matter what evil is in their way they have eachother’s backs. 

"You Smell like a toilet" ~ Sam Winchester; Sam is played by Jared Padalecki. He is the younger Winchester brother. He was originally going to college for law, but that kind of changed when Dean showed up back in Season One. Dean jokes Sam for all his many emotions, and how we talks with people. I see Sam as someone that cares a lot about the people he saves. I am not saying Dean doesn't, but Sam shows it more. Jared plays more of the interesting parts. I have noticed that most Dean fans are upset that it is all about Sam. I don't see it that way.
·         He has many sleepless nights.
·         He always fights for what he believes in (Got misdirected a couple of times)
·         In the End he cares about Dean the most. 

It is so hard to look at someone you love and just walk away forever. All of the memories that you have created together many never go lost in your mind. These two brothers are a perfect example of two people that aren't just going to give up on each other. They have this brother bond that not many people have. When Jared and Jensen first started Supernatural back in 2005 there chemistry is what made this show as strong as it is today. I guess the question is how do you treat your family? Are you close? Will you fight for them to be in your life like the Winchesters?

The Weight

rain falls from the blackness in the sky, the water soaks the earth. here we stay a float, but slowly we are drowning. the mud grabs us by the ankles, pulling us into the ground. everyday is a struggle to move. With all of these days, we carry out this weight, walking closer to the pavement. we tippy toe across the marsh, crashing faster each time. crushed to our knees, our hearts slow to a beat. we question our strength, savoring every last drop, like the very last scotch. and at the end of the day, when the moon covers the view. your soft hand pressures, then squeeze’s these muscles and slowly cracks the bones, you push down upon me, I pray you don’t break me. With all the pain and agony, we continue to push forward, but we question our lives, always struggling to stand up straight. fearing our inevitable fate. carrying this horrible weight. Note; In all honesty this is about the world and the struggle to live, have faith in God, but the weight some t...

If I Could I Would

If I could change a thing, I think I would have changed everything. If I could have known the truth, I would have never been with you. Twenty-five and I am so tired of this childish love, And all the pain that comes along with all its games. Seems such a waste to throw it all away, But I am who I am, like me or not, But you will never be able to change me. The world has its grips on you, And I am no way getting involved. Today could be the greatest of days, But what would you have changed? All of your wrong mistakes, your bad calls, All your fear and lies, Or are you just so selfish inside? If I could change the way we were, I think I would change everything. If I knew the absolute truth about you, I would have never even met you. Twenty-five to life with all that you did, Is this the end of love, should I give up? And here I am stuck with a broken heart, And busted up sight. These days are blurring together, And nothing seems al...

The Longest Day Dream

Is this what it takes to make an illusion, or Will this ever come to be the truth? Why do I do the things I do? Why do I dream of these horrible things? I just want to know your view. It hurts to know what is not meant to be real. It hurts never knowing what will hurt next. I don’t want you to forget about me. I don’t ever want to go far away. I want to stick around forever. I want to stand up and fight. I don’t want to lay down and die. I want to be more than a weird nobody. I can’t breath on my own. I can’t stand on my own to feet. I need you more than I can imagine. Tell me that everything is O.K! I wish I could say that everything is alright. We can run away and live on forever. Where ever I go the pain follows my soul. Please make it go away from here. I want us to be free from this rule. I want us to run and never think again. I feel like this is my dream, and When I wake my smile will disappear. I want to say hey, everything is great! I want to hold you and talk of the good thin...
