Because books.

I saw despair in Playthings. It's after Ava is missing (and not yet known to be evil), when Sam goes off, gets drunk and makes Dean promise to kill him. That, to me, is despair. He moves past it. But that's where I see it. I think he did lose hope. He just keeps finding a little bit more.

This is very true. I'm not paying attention to how closely he's tamped it down, I think.

Thanks Ailleann! I won't tell anyone.

Juliebird, are you talking about Sam being drunk in BUaBS? Or in Playthings?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sam suddenly being drunk just weirded me out and I thought he was possessed then, which I think also added to my confusion of just when he got possessed.
If you saw the Director's Cuts on the CW website ever? Blame them. I still do. Because they showed Sam in a chair with the black eyes. Wasn't as far back as Playthings but it was up (and actually from BUaBS) when HotH aired.

Confused me, spoiled the hell out of me and obviously I am still a little grudgey about it.

Ailleann, I loved that fic. There's another that is poking at my brain that I will try to go find now.

It's also conclusions I have made after playing fast and loose with my own fanon by this point in the conversation. What I see is more than maybe has been explicitly shown onscreen.

I'm shocked. You NEVER do that.

Wow, Ailleann.

I got goose-bumps and then I swear, as I was reading about Pastor Jim's eyes stinging, my eyes started. But thanks for the smile at the very end after I cried. That was perfect.

You totally captured a young Sammy.

Thanks, Austin. I'm glad you liked it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ailleann, drunk in Playthings, when he makes Dean promise to kill him (and link away!).

Cass, haven't seen the director's cut, just the discussions in Boxed Set before I ever started watching SPN. Black eyes, huh? The hell? Are the director's cuts considered canon? Cuz that plays as Sam being possessed through Nightshifter as well as HotH, which, what?

I assume I'm preaching to the choir.
