Colin says he's only sometimes blond.

I see his point, although I'd call him blond (still not JA, though). I go red in the sun, and Colin only considers himself blond for a sunny month or two.

Ah. Sometimes it's very obvious that I've never worked in a real business environment. The only acronym I know is P&L. I had to ask S. the other day what CIO meant, even.

I'm going to sit over here and happily hang on to my dark-haired, damaged, bow-legged Dean.

Huh. See, that's a fairly normal outfit by my standards. Like a low-key corpGoth attempt at casual Friday. So there's no wigging to be had.

Of course, my other reaction to that outfit was "Oh look! Misha borrowed one of Gerard's outfits", and then I realized I needed an AU where the MCR boys get stuck trying to help the Winchesters, and conversations between Gerard and Castiel.

He just looks too Hogwarts!

Fine, enjoy the creepy picture.

So, first sighted appearance of battle-ready sleeping is in Dead Man's Blood, when John is crashing with them. Maybe the "sleep like a normal person" thing was something Dean and Sam did when Dad wasn't around. I can see it as being a part of John's training.

Poor, deluded Colin!

See, I am not kidding about bringing back brownette! Just throw all the borderline cases into that category and all's well!

My sons' hair was only a shade or two in intensity apart. StE was white-blond at birth and his hair darkened. StY had black hair, which fell out and grew back medium to light brown. When they were 4-ish to 8-ish, their hair was a similar shade, but StY's always had a brown, golden, richer tone--not red-blond, but light brown. StE's always had a greyish, dirty-blond tone, definitely blond. Even sunbleached in summer, there was a definite, detectable difference, and it was tone, not shade.

I am in the brownette camp. Simplifies things.

Oh, that's why that picture doesn't creep me out but still pinged me somewhere.

And I would like to read this AU. Act surprised.

I imagine if I'd been a hunter all my adult life and only recently had things hunting me in turn – particularly things like Meg that could look like anybody – it'd make a big difference in my level of relaxation during downtime.

Sam sleeps in sleep clothes under the covers, doesn't he? At least usually? He was fully dressed too in Dark Side Of The Moon, but that could have been drunken passing out.

I chalk up Dean's constant state of go-go-go (yet constant need for alcohol) to post-hell trauma. He can't wind down without forcing himself, and even then, it's really badly done.

Earlier in the season -- Free To Be, You and Me -- he was in a T-shirt and track pants, and shirtless in track pants, under the covers. I'm trying to remember if we saw him sleeping after that, aside from DSotM.
