ive just been thinking likeee obviously we know sam and dean are insane, this has been established!!! but i was specifically pondering how dean, since they were both children and then later when theyre both adults, has felt like "watching out for sammy" (etc) is his job and responsibility. obviously cuz of john putting that on him, but its still definitely A Thing.

Ok we know all that but my point is!!! what ive been randomly thinking about lately is how much moreee insane dean would be (in regards to sam i mean) if they were more than their 4 years apart in age. just thought of it cuz of other media where the older sibling is, well quite a bit older and how if that was the case the Parentification™ would be a lot more intense yknow? like hes already How He Is but like.. yea not sure where i was going with this but ive been having thoughts thats all.
